my dog did the same, it will want to walk so just drop the leash, and wait it out unil they walk normall for my dog it takes a couple minutes
Are you using a felt collar? If so, get a choke chain. It isn't as mean as it sounds, you just use a collar made of metal links that goes around it's neck. Then the chain comes out the hole so you tug on the link and then it tightens up the neck just for a second. They're used to the feeling, because this is what they're mother did to them when disciplining them. If that doesn't work get a prong collar.
no do not get choke collars it is bad for the dogd neck, when my dog went to dog training they said we shuld take the chike collar of him because it can wreck his trachea
their is a more humane version of a choke chainits like a harness that tightens around their legs instead of the throat I thought it worked good on the dog I had he was boxer/germin shepard/black lab
I have two dogs, both of them half lab half rottweiler. I had two dogs before them, half lab half akita and full lab. I'll tell you that lab and lab mixes are tough to train, but choke chains really do the trick. They are 100% humane, it hurts them not in the least and it is fine for the dogs health. The only downside is that the dogs neck gets silver-ish because the metal rubs off on their necks if you have them wear it too much. It just comes off when you bathe them. They are not only for big dogs, little dogs can wear them too. Also, this might sound a bit inhumane, but it's really not is the Dogtra dog shocker. You have a remote the dog wears a collar and you can change the settings and strength of the shock. When they are doing something you don't like you can simply shock them. But I rarely use the shocking mode, because they have a vibrate mode, which to the dog sounds like a bee and really agitates them, but doesn't hurt them in the least. They respond very well to that. You can use the dogtra system also when training them to come. For more info FunMail me.
Both the shocking and the choke chain are INCREDIBLY inhumane, and I'm appalled that they're still legal.
Bamba--if you think it doesn't hurt, YOU put it on and shock yourself, or put on the choke chain, and try to run. I think you'll change your attitude.
To the original poster, why say 'resort' to a harness? Harnesses are great for small dogs who easily slip out of collars because not only can they not escape, it's easier on their bodies.
Of course they're legal and very humane. The names may be inhumane, but I have tried it myself because I do care about my dogs' safety. And it really doesn't hurt. Truly it just kind of wakes you up and makes you go 'oh!'. My dogs can walk off the leash because of their shocking collars, so I can let them go free on trails. So, no I haven't changed my attitude, they are very humane and safe and good for dogs of all sizes.
no they are not, they can severly damag your dogs trachea






How to leash train my yorkie?

How can I keep my Yorkie puppy from pulling on the leash? Her neck is so small, and I'd rather not resort to a harness.
