[quote=Anonymous]We had this same issue. Worked with a trainer who said its very simple - just teach that next to you is a good place to be (praise and give treats). Trainer also said that the leash is for safety, not control. It can become a power struggle if you're pulling and the dog is pulling. My dog still occasionally pulls but all I need to do is give a tug on the leash and say "easy" and she relaxes. If she's walking nicely and I say "good" she quickly slows to be right next to me because she knows that's the "treat spot". Also, use a harness (front ring type is best to prevent pulling although that's not what we currently have) rather then a collar. My dog chokes herself on her collar, plus she can get out of it if she really wants to.[/quote]
