I'm walking my dog she sees another dog she is a nice size so she pulls me how do i stop her?

Question

yes she has plenty of doggie friends we take her on a regulr basis to see my ant"s dog and she likes the next door neighbor
' yard!and their dogs!

Answer 1

1. Do some basic training with her - practice in your backyard walk her and ask her to sit at intervals, get her use to concentrating on you by talking h=to her the whole time.
2. Buy a Halti or gentle leader or canicollar - they fit around the muzzle and help you control your dog better. A dog can pull 110% of their body weight with their shoulders, 100% with their neck but only around 10% of body weight with their head and therefor you can control her.

I had a 60Kg Rottie and I wouldn't have been able to walk him unless I used a Halti

Answer 2

Try getting a choker collar to use only for walks. When you're done though, be sure to take it off so it won't get caught on anything and literally choke your dog. They simply tighten when pulled on, so basically the dog is choking itself, and when it learns that if it pulls it can't breath, then it'll eventually stop. I know it sounds mean, but it trully helps! If that doesn't work, something more severe like a pincher collar will work wonderfully! If the dog so much as steps one step farther than the extent of the leash, it pinches the dog's neck the slightest bit, and the dog will stop proceeding. They learn even quicker not to pull with this collar.

If either of these don't sound like a good idea to you, then a harness will work also. It gives you more control of the dog, and it won't uncomfortably choke/pinch the dog when it pulls.

Answer 3

Start with some basic obedience if you need more than that, then try a CHAMPS walkmaster. It's kinder and has quicker results than a choke collar. If you go this way, your dog will not like it at first and will fight it, but stick with it and in a few moments you will have a whole new dog on the end of your leash! And once she learns how to walk nicely you Can go back to a normal collar.

Answer 4

well if she is pulling you while you walk her or when you come up to another dog it is probably the collar. the type of collar you should use "ONLY FOR WALKING" it is a pinch collar which will help with the pulling. i use it for my dogs and it works really well. i call it the (power steering collar). you would only use it just for walking and nothing else. choke chains don't work because they pull even harder. good luck

Answer 5

Dogs (the same way as people do) need to socialize, but maybe an obedience training might help to control the pulling issue

Answer 6

Does your dog socialize on a regular basis? this is what popped into my head first, dogs like us need to have friends and companions. You should set times for your dog to socialize and times to walk and a time to eat..a little schedule, teach him/her its time for walking not stopping or chatting with other dogs..DO NOT yank its chain or leash, instead gently pull in an upwards motion and they will come guaranteed.

Answer 7

i have this same problem with my newfoundlander and she pretty much outweighs me. i suggest a shorter leash and when you see another dog make her sit. it takes some time but my dog is getting better at listening to me when another dog is around. if that doesnt work then walk her in circles til she calms down enough.

Answer 8

What type of collar do you use? When walking I use a choke collar, its not for leaving around the dogs neck all day, but it does and excellent job of stopping pulling.

Answer 9

enroll both of you in a basic obedience class, and work with her at least 10 minutes 3 times a day.

Answer 10

Use a Promise Collar. it won't hurt your dog and it will save your arm.
