[quote=Anonymous]We have a relatively new rescue dog (with no issues as far as we can tell -- she's very sweet and great with our toddler).  She is terrible on the leash and pulls like crazy.  It's particularly bad because one of the only/best times I can walk her is when I have my  toddler in a stroller, and she's awful to walk with the stroller.  I've literally just about thrown out my back and lost every shred of patience I have left after struggling with her and the stroller.

Any advice or suggestions for leash training?

We tried a method of changing directions regularly and praising for her good listening.  This was helping a bit, but unfortunately, I can't do it with a stroller, so we couldn't reinforce it as frequently as we'd like and thus haven't made much progress.  I've also tried holding treats to get her to pay more attention to me during walks, but she's so excited about everything else that she doesn't care about food.  She'll eat it and get a little excited but generally just wanted to pull and explore.  Help![/quote]
