We have a 15mo rescue Labrador cross that we got at six months old. He's an absolutely brilliant dog with a super nature. We made a good start on training but then DH had an injury which set us back a bit (dog still got walks and attention, but we didn't really have the capacity to devote to training).
We've recently picked back up and he's doing really well - he obeys sit, stay, steady, here and he is generally fine off lead on his walks now.
The trouble is when he is on his lead he pulls like mad. He's fine if we're in a busy town centre but the first bit of his walk along our road is a nightmare - he's so excited and pulls and pulls and then lunges for the houses that have dogs in their gardens. We are both quite big and strong so can just about manage him (he is massive) but my repeated 'heel' commands with pulling the lead to my side are having little effect. Any advice on techniques I can try to encourage him to be better on the lead? For info, he had the snip about two months ago.
