ess pulling

Hi all i have an english springer that pulls on the lead any advice would be much appreciated.

Firstly, a dog pulls because it thinks it know where it is going. So put the dog on a lead and start walking in a large open space where you have plenty of room.

Then as the pulling starts, immediately change the direction in which you are walking.. Its pyscology!! It gets the dog out the habbit of pulling because it no longer knows in which direction to go!!

Obviously this requires repetition and consistency over a period of time.

See how you get on

in addition try looping the lead when you change direction let go of the loop it'll give an extra jar and maybe a little more incentive

Best way i have found is cut a long wippy stick from privet or willow and every time he pulls tap him on the nose at the same time commanding him to heel.atvb

I will watch this topic with interest as my 2yr old springer still pulls but as soon as I stop she circles straight back to my side. Our walks consist of quite a lot of stops!!! :11:

I think you need to keep your lead short mr dooley. Good luck

I have seen this method used on Dog Borstal and thought I was copying it but it didn't seem to work for me. I now realise that I was doing it in the street and not a wide open space. I will resume this training method out in the open.

Get on the field boys it works.Every now and again he will pull just a little.Ispent all two days doing this and he got it. Short slip lead is the key and as high as it will go around the back of the head.good luck.
