I adopted a mix shepherd/rhodesian mix dog four months ago. he now weighs 90 pounds, which sadly is only 20 pounds less than me. He has been trained to walk on the leash, sit, stay, down, and come. The only problem is he is leash aggressive to other dogs. Due to his size, I can't correct it with the leash, he is just too strong. I have tried a halti and a prong collar at the suggestion of a behaviorist. The behaviorist said he has an insensitive neck. We have also tried a shock collar, which had no effect on him. He has literally dragged me on the ground before. I'm sad b/c he is a danger to other dogs b/c of my inability to control him. I'm literally too weak. Any suggestions.
