[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will need to train her. You say you have tried stopping whenever she pulls, but you need to truly stop when she pulls. [b]Which can mean an hour before you even get out of your driveway, if you get more than a few feet from your house at all. For a long time.[/b] But eventually they learn.

Hire a trainer to help you, you aren't likely to succeed on your own. [/quote]

This is effing mental. Maybe for a tiny puppy, but for an adult dog? There's "gentle" and there's ridiculous, and this is well over the line into nonsense territory. [/quote]

It isn't "effing mental." It can take a long time for a pulling dog to learn if it isn't very biddable. You take a step, they pull. You stop. Take a step, they pull, you stop. That usually means not getting very far for quite some time. And regarding your "maybe for a tiny puppy" comment, it can be more challenging with an adult dog, who has already trained the OP to allow the pulling.

Are you the OP? If so, this attitude is likely part of how you got here. [/quote]

I’m the OP and the above wasn’t me. I’m genuinely here for all the advice.[/quote]
