| If you're in an informal situation, you can change it to formal by giving a command and then any correction is for the lack of respons to the "heel", or............ my dog's know "don't you dare pull on that lead" and/or similar threats of a verbal nature and so when they get too excited a short pop and some imprecations for the pulling on the lead does it.
Don't unfairly characterize her excitement as aggression however.
I don't believe all of life must be formal control so I teach that there is no pulling although you may move around the length the lead allows as long as you do not apply pressure beyond what I have taught you I allow.
You can also simply do the changing of the direction you're walking (turns and whatnot) as well as redirection |
