    |
|
i was wondering if anybody has any advice for me. Lennon's as good as gold except for when we go out on the lead. He pulls to the front left when we walk. we've tried him on a harness and a halti and going through basic training but he still does it. i've tried various lengths of lead, different collars etc. I believe in positive training but hes not really interested in treats and ignores toys outside. If i turn around to walk home he walks absolutely perfect, no pulling, looking up at me attentively!!! So i know the training has sunk in but hes being stubborn when he goes the way he wants to!! Has anyone got any advice? He's fine off the lead and i don't want to take this pleasure away from him, but i think thats what hes thinking when he goes out - when am i getting off this lead?!!!! thanks.

hello
if you go into the training section of the forum you'll find loads of advice on lead training.
i think if he's getting the idea most of the time you could continue training away from his normal walks so he doesn't know where he is and therefore isn't anticipating the off lead???
but sounds like he's doing ok so far. how old is he?
