We recently got a rescue pup, approx 1.5years old. Before getting we were told she was lead trained (definitely was not), dog friendly and child friendly. She is definitely child friendly and must be dog friendly to a degree as we seen her interacting with other dogs at the rescue.
However she was dreadful on the lead but this is something we are slowly but surely overcoming. But one issue I can't seem to over come is how reactive she is to other dogs out walking. I've tried all the tricks in the books, treats before during and after noticing dogs, crossing roads, distracting by turning and walking opposite direction...Nothing works! She pulls so hard on the lead that I am genuinely concerned that she will hurt herself. Nothing I do seems to distract her at all as she goes absolutely daft!
Would anyone have any other advi
ce or tips as we are desperate to take her out properly with us instead of ending up walking the routes I think will have the least dogs :(
