After I though pup was getting much better walking on the lead (we had a few walks to the post office where she trotted along beside me quite happily) she seems to have gone backwards.
Spoke to the trainer at puppy class (we just graduated level 1 ) who said to just stand still when she pulls - but this just seems to make her worse and she goes hyper, leaping and summersaulting from side to side. Met a neighbour on the (very slow - stopping every step) way back from this mornings walk who suggested a "halti" head collar (they have a Newfoundland and this worked for them.) Anyone else found these useful (or not)?
Pup is just over 4months and is a Cocker Spaniel (working strain).
Any suggestions?
