Watch dog borstal.

Try him first with the treat in the nearest hand, the smell will be stronger, and reward him often then he will associate reward with walking beside you then after a while try the treat in the other hand, then when he pulls offer him the treat to get him walking beside you, but don.t give him the treat until he stays beside you for a while.
good luck

:roll: :roll:
**em**:
the thing with him is that all techniques tried and tested seem to have little effect on him. there's a nice outline shape of me in the hedge outside em's house where he's caught me unawares an kinda dragged me through it! the halti worked for a short while but he manages to suss it out. this is the same with every method tried! he is a really clever dog but at the same time is stubborn and due to his strength once he digs his heels in is a very tough cookie. his behaviour is getting worse as the trining progresses. since the dominance training has started he has started fouling in the house and nipping. he is loving dog and loyal which is a major plus but his stubbornness is letting him down. when i'm not there i worry for em as he is so powerful and once he decideds he's doing something he will do it regardless.
good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour is dealt with appropriately...mainly the seperation route. we are at our witts end with him dog borstal is seeming like a good route as i reckon they would have their work cut out with him.
andy we've tried the treats etc but to no avail as he just jumps up at you or nuzzles until you have to give in due to him biting . as we've said he's a lovely tempered dog who's soft as 'poo', he's just letting himself down which with the rotty reputation isn't doing him any favours.
any more ideas anyone??? jaws

Hi,
We have a Beagle, which is a little smaller and not as strong as your dog, but she's still a stubborn bitch. We had similar issues with pulling and had tried half choke collars, a harness that pulls up the back of the front legs, halti collar, and a funny shaped harness we bought at Crufts last year (as we don't pull anymore). Out of all the harnesses & collars etc we found the halti nuzzle thing the most effective, they can't run off as it pulls their head to the side. She did behave with this collar on as she didn't like it, probably due to it's controlling nature? Or just maybe she didn't like her mouth being clamped shut when she was trying to pull. The other downside of a halti is that most people thing it's a muzzle and that you have a vicious (typed viscous first :lol: ) dog
I stopped her pulling by using a technique whereby when she pulls when you are walking, you stop walking. When they stop pulling start walking again. It may take a while, the first time our Beagle just stood there pulling even though she wasn't moving - stubborn so and so. I can't remember about praising with this as it was a while ago, but they do get the gist that if they pull, they don't go anywhere. This means we can now use a nice looking collar / harness when walking out and about. This may take time, but it was certainly effective for us.
Good luck
