Also, she charges other dogs. They respond in an aggressive manner, although once she gets to them she just wants to play.

you should get a choker collar. not the one with the spikes. but the choker collar will help it understand to stay with you. i know its hard to train your dog to walk with you on the leash because im trying to train a great dane. and those are probably the strongest dogs and very huge. all you have to do is take the choker collar up under its ears. when it pulls it will tighten and this technique will definetly work. try it and youll see

Solution for pulling on a leash: Become a tree. This means take two or three days planning on very short walks. Set a time, walk out the door. As soon as the dog tightens the leash, stop. 'Become a tree.' Wait until the dog loosens the lead by herself, then take another step or two, until the lead tightens again. Stop. Repeat until the dog has either recognized that you won't move if the lead is tight, or until the pre-set time has run out. This process might take two or three days, but it does work for most dogs.
Also, an obedience course would really be a good idea. Contact your local animal shelter, kennel club or pet supply store and ask for good trainers in your area.
Charging dogs can be very dangerous. This behavior can result in fights, regardless of your dog's intentions upon reaching the other dog. The other dog might not want to play and instead might attack your girl. It is up to you to prevent this from happening. Get your girl under control before she gets hurt. Sign up for that course!
Good luck.

Use a Halti or a Gentle Leader. When she does pull on the leash, stop until she behaves, then start again. She'll learn that if she pulls, she doesn't get to go anywhere.
And don't react to the other dogs. A lot of owners yank the leash or do other things to make the dog think it's an issue. Ignore them and move on like you normally would.

I have a dog that has the same problem. Get a Gentle muzzle leader. It is like a harness that keeps their head pulled up as they walk and for some odd reason, it does work. Try one, & Good Luck! (It doesn't hurt them at all like a choke coller would. What people don't understand is a choke or pinch coller can damage the trakea of the dog.... where they bark & eat through)

I was unable to leash train my dog because of this. I could not stand the horrible choking sounds he was making on his own, how could I tug on the leash and make it worse? He would get so excited and pull so hard that I really thought he would injure himself. Maybe a harness that doesn't go around the throat would be the way to go.

ok tjhis may sound mean but i use this, get a pinch collar for your dog. i have a blk lab and he did the same thing till i got a pinch collar and now he does not pull on his leash. you would only need it for taking him for walks. i call it a power steering collar because once you use it you will be able to control him alot better like power steering. all they do is when you give a quick pull on the leash for him to stop the collar pinches his skin and he will not want to pull because every time he goes out for a walk he will have that on and won't want to pull on the leash. and for charging other dogs with this collar on he will not do that either. people think that these collars are very mean looking but it works. i didn't like them at first but when i put it on my lab he stopped right away and has not pulled since. your dog is trying to control you on the leash and you want to stop this now before it gets out of hand. she may want to play at first but what is going to happen when she pulls so hard to get to the other dogs and then you can't stop her and the playing will result in a fight.
get the pinch collar and give that a try and believe me it will work for you. good luck.

Biz is right, I think especially for my boxer's. Even though I take them out everyday, (I live in a farming community), they are great ,(with collars on) smelling everything until we turn the corner, and then they know it is open field to smell and live/roll in everything under the sun..Even though I have a huge yard discovering the open fields is exciting for them. I had an magnificent Great Dane, everyday a man would come by and ask if his German Shepherd could play.........The barking by both scared me, but this man said if he took the collar off and opened the gate, (,my dog was w/o collar), and behind the entrance they would have fun. Sure enough they played for what seemed like hours...........The restraint, (collar), I think puts up a kinda defensive mode for them...........NOT FOR ALL BREEDS though.

take your dog to dog training school. that is were you will learn to train your dog to sit stay come and walk on a leash.. there are a few video out as well you could watch. helping your dog walk on a leash will help your dog enjoy walking. what your dog is doing is trying to be the leader and you do not want that. you much always be the leader. but you have to do this with out hitting or yelling at your dog. she is acting up because she is doesn't understand her roll in you pack. dog are a pack animal and so they need to know there place to be happy. you have to be the leader so you dog will be calm as long as you are calm.

Snap the leash, turn around and walk the other direction any time she hits the end of the leash. A few dozen of these and she will learn not to pull on the leash.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/zLXs2
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.
