Try a prong collar...
Or, use food to keep him near you - also, don't let him get more than 1 foot in front of you - if he gets past that point, he is walking you, not the other way around.
If he really pulls like an idiot, stop walking. Don't move until he relaxes and will walk calmly.
Also, when walking, use a short leash, 1-2 feet, and use a brisk pace - if you walk slowly he'll feel he is allowed to sniff, and get ahead of you.
A brisk pace requires the dog to pay attention. |
When we adopted our girl nearly four years ago she was about 9 months old. She had no leash manners and would pull like crazy. Our obedience instructor's method which worked very well for us was to simply not move every time she pulled. This method worked very well for us and we just had her in a flat buckle collar. She literally learned to not pull within one week.
Have you tried a method similar to this?
