Pup is now 7 months and pulls like a train. He’s quite good for DH as he naturally walks faster and does mostly on lead walks whereas I take him for his longer, sniffy, off lead walks so I think he associates me with running around unrestricted.
Anyway, we’ve got to try and get it sorted because the off lead walks are getting less and I get zero pleasure out of being pulled around the streets.
Any advice? He’s currently wearing a harness (sorry I can’t remember the name!). An old fella advised me to get him on the collar the other day, said it’s stopped all his dogs pulling as it stops them putting any real power being them. Would this hurt his neck/throat though?
I don’t know wether we should try a different harness or do the stop/start training thing.

The doghouse
How did you stop pulling and how long did it take?
