Watch the dog whisperer!  Sky 1 6pm most nights.

That guy is a magician...! And further to someone elses coments, he has proven and continues to... that the "energy" of the owner/walker is the key.

Actually.. must google him and see what it says! His name is Ceaser Milan and he's based in South Central LA.

well this is our 3 year old Rotty, bit of patience required - but anything is possible

richo:
Did she go to training classes when she was very young or have you just started trying to stop her pull.
My dad trained dogs years ago,mainly gun dogs and the most important thing he found was that a clever dog knows it's own mind so you have to find the thing that it likes most and some how use that in it's training.
I remember one black lab that used to run off if it saw a rabbit and chase it.
Dad stopped it one day by putting a rabbit skin on a piece of elastic and pulling right back.He put his foot on it and sat the lab next to him.He lefted his foot up and just as the skin shoot off so the lab got up to run after it my dad smacked the dog with a hazel stick which starteled the lab and from that day on it never chased again ever.
It remebered what would happen.
You will need to get the dog to remember the same thing when he thinks of pulling you .
It's hard sometimes as dogs are like family but if you can't nip it in the bud she could hurt you by pulling you in front of a car.
Why not have a talk to the rotti club and see what they say.I hope you get it sorted because they are lovely dogs that seem to be getting some bad press at the moment.

 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

thats wot we do but it seems to have little effect. it's the same with stopping and turning the other way, once he's going somewhere he's off! i've held him till he gets blood shot eyes an foams at the mouth...in the end we just end up taking him back in doors.

Bob Ajob..the halti worked on my dog, however on boo it's a differents story. he got used to walkin sideways and walking into stuff! he's broken a few of these as when he lunges they tend to snap!

ceaser millan is a guru...but no matter how confident, calm and all the rest of it you are. there's no change in him

boss:
ok, again i cant be botherd to read this so sorry in advance if i repeat any of this.
i work on a farm at the momnet training gundogs and running the bording kennel
i find that the harneses, choak chains, and muzzle things dont work(dont know if anyone else thinks that) it just gives the dog extra pull
the 3 ways that i break a dog into it is to either do the stop start ie when the dog pulls  you stop, eventually they learn and realise there not getting anywhere quicker by pulling. this only really works on young dogs but is quite effective
another way is just to man up and pull the [!Expletive Deleted!] back when they pull you! they will learn quickley but i dont know how people feel about doing that, all of our dogs are "intact" and need to be shown whos boss.
nither of these things worked on our german shepard so we went to the pet store and bought a "kong" its like a spikey ball with a bit of rope you throw it by,
as with most dogs he diddnt want to let us have it so if he ran or pulled it got pulled out of his mouth.....now a shepard who doesnt pull.
just want to say i dont mistreat dogs ask anyone else who trains dogs and they will also say you have to be furm!
