I posted a couple of weeks ago about my Shihtzhu puppy who is quite stubborn when we are out for walk. He doesn't like to go too far and will sit and refuse to move. I can't lure him with treats or toys when we are out, he just isn't interested. We had his 4 month puppy check today at the vets so I asked for advice. The veterinary nurse told me that I should stop using a harness as they give him all the power in his shoulders and will allow him to pull when walking. She suggested a slip lead instead and that I should pull/drag him to make him walk in the direction that I want him to go. I'm a bit shocked by this actually and am wondering if I'm being too soft by not wanting to do this?
