hello everyone
i have never owned a labrador i have always had lhaspo aspos
but i have only one left and she is 15 years of age and has cancer
so my daughter came in one night with a little black labrador for me
i fell in love with her ,she is now 5 months i have trained her to do little things ,i am disabled and in wheelchair but this does not stop me exercising her,but i feel she has just started to pull when on leash she never before ,she is strong i was wondering if any of you experienced lab owners would give me some advice please i was thinking of a harness would this help thanks pam
Hello and welcome to LF, I have heard that the halti head collar and canny collar are very good for dogs who pull. I haven't used one myself as sonas thankfully is not a persistent puller but they seem to be used by a few members on here and I have only heard good things! I hope you find a solution and get back to enjoying your walks soon!
i have a canny collar with coal but you might find a harness works better as they don't tend to fight those as much and would probably be more comfortable for the pup if she is only an occasional puller..... i.e the harness won't bother her as much as the head collar but its all personal preference....
does she pull in certain situations or it is just generally now?
if you look in the collar section you'll find lots of threads discussing various collars/harness
Hope that helps
Sam

Hi Pam welcome to you and Holly, lots of Labs are trained to help disabled people such as yourself, one of the members here is a puppy walker for DftD, hopefully she`ll see this post and may be able to give you some hints and tips to help with Holly
