| The becoming a tree does work good and praising the good behavior. You have to realize that if he is pulling the whole way then you can't have gone far, because if he is pulling, you shouldn't be moving. At least not during a loose leash walk training, free roaming is another thing that I always made sure to include while on walks or outings.
Another option to try is a counterclockwise circle. With him on the left, if he starts to get in front of you you cut him off by turning left cutting him off track. You will basically start off by walking in a small circle. As you improve with this, your circle will get bigger. Whenever he starts to go forward, in front of you you simply cut him off by turn to the left. This has worked with a couple dogs that I've known that have not done well with more usual loose leash walking training. |
