[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we used a trainer and they recommended the stopping approach. actually, not just stopping, but turning around and going in the opposite direction when the dog pulls. and then rewarding when dog heals. it was very tedious but worked. [/quote] Decades of dogs in my life and trainers [individual and in group classes] used choke or martingale collars [nylon with chain section]. No prongs. Dog on left in a sit- left hand on part of shortened leash held in right hand. Stops with you and sits, walks next to you. All sorts of turn combos including having the dog circle you and sit. You need a trainer to teach you how to use the collar. Note- on 2 herding breeds the puppies were so trainable we and trainer said no on a martingale. Those collars and correct training worked on so many puppies- mine and others. Labs, GS, etc. You had 4 years of this? Normal timeline for abiltiy to walk on lead without a mess for us was 4 months.
