Pink Rolled Leather Dog Collars

Favorite leash training method?

I was wondering what is the best leash training method to stop pulling?

Some special considerations with my dog:
1. He’s deaf.
2. He has a very sensitive trachea, and will “reverse cough” (he’s a boston terrier) when walked on his collar.
3. He has sensitive skin and thin hair, so a prong did not work for him. He ended up with pink sore spots on his neck (even nylon collars do this, he has a rolled leather kind now…)

I do NOT want to use any type of anti-pulling harness, I want him to actually learn how to walk.

Any links or book recommendations that explain your method would be fantastic :-)

Apparently the halti works well. We didn’t use it.

We just stopped every time our pitbull pulled and asked her to sit. Make the dog responsible for the loose leash. The leash should never be taut. We didn’t get anywhere fast and it was annoying, but it broke her of pulling.

To get her to walk by our side, we did circles, also time consuming, but worth it. When she walked ahead of us, we would turn in the opposite direction, take a step or two, then resume in the original direction.

These two methods sound painstakingly slow, but nothing is easy. You will find this information in use all over the internet. Our pitbull heels off leash with us now.
