I have a gorgeous five month old golden lab bitch. She is fab in most ways (we're going through a bit of a stand off with housetraining right now even though she had it down a few weeks ago) but walks are a bit of an issue.
We walk an hour a day. She pulls like crazy and her eyes get all red from straining to bound. She sits at roads but she bounds again on the pavement. I stop and when she's calm we go again but still pulling. Treats? Pulling. All techniques have been tried for a week daily with no progress.
While in the park we let her off the lead as her recall is fab and on the way home she walks perfectly on a slack lead. Since it's a 20 minute wallk to the park it's very difficult.
Does anyone have tips or advice? Thank you.
