Spacemud:
Have you seen the Dog Whisperer on Cable TV? Looks at the phsycology behind what a dog is thinking and doing. Well worth watching! Has given me a much better understanding of where I go wrong without realising it.

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

 in that case when he does this try putting him in another room away from you and Em and leave him in there for ten minutes then try again with him

Evilgoat:
Harness doesnt help with saffy, it actually makes her worse as she can lean into it and get even more traction. Once she's tired out its ok.

What does work, is cheese. Cut a few cubes of cheese and give here one or two to let her know you have it then kee one at your side in your hand. If she stays there for a while, let her have it and repeat.

For some reason this only seems to work with cheese :)

muddyjames:
We used to have a dog that just constantly pulled and that was a great dane. There was a relatively simple fix to the problem.

all you need is;

An open space, ie field car park (like a business park on a weekend with no cars in).

Just walk around the car park in straight lines and everytime he gets to the end of the lead just say heal and turn and walk in another direction. After a while he will realise that as soon as the lead goes tight he wont be going where he wants to, he will be off in another direction.

This sounds daft but given time and patience it does work.

**em**:
thank you all will be trying probably all of what you have said to find which works hopefully

will let you know
