Really struggling with our 10 month old pup. He’s a spaniel cross, small/medium size. We’ve currently got him on a K9 harness. After many months we’ve finally got him trained to walk nicely on a lead when we’re walking in a residential area.
He had fantastic recall and we were confident to let him off lead in lots of countryside walks. This has completely gone out of the window. I’m down to 1 walk that I’m comfortable letting him off in (basically a secure field/forest area). I’ve put him back on his long line but he’s just awful on it-it gets tangled in the undergrowth, wraps around my legs, he’ll run to the end of it and then you get the sudden jolt when it stops him. It’s just not working,
While we’re trying to get his recall back is there a harness that anyone could suggest please? I’d like to be able to walk him around the park or along the canal but all his heel training gets forgotten when he’s anywhere other than a boring street.
I’ve also been looking at leads with a shock absorber at the end to stop that sudden jolt, I don’t think I’ll have a shoulder left by the end of it. Do they help?
