Please supply the wisdom to stop ddog doing this Smile
He is a 1 year old show cocker. I am alternating between a no pull harness - he got used to it. And a half choker collar - dp idea and he just pulls and pants with it on. It's slightly better than the harness.
As long as I practise with treats regularly he is pretty good with other command and recall and he's so harmless but this constant lead yanking is driving me nuts - I don't understand how to reduce it as my previous dog (c docile greyhound) didn't pull at all it's a new problem to me!?
Please help x

Hi all just popping back to say we binned the no pull harness and the chicken collar and bought him an ordinary but padded so hopefully comfy harness. I have been only lead walking him and stopping every time he pulls. We got the routine worked out pretty quick - pull = stop, sit down, wait to be told to move off. I'm so proud of him he picked it up very quickly and was really focused after a few goes. Huge improvement after only couple of days - lots of work to do but feeling there's definitely a way to train him out of lead yanking with perseverance. I am tell grateful for your wisdom!!! Flowers

We had the same with our show cocker - it improves with age. The 2 year old hardly pulls but the puppy does. I know we just have to ride it out. The bonus is I have very strong arms now.
