Best I have seen so far is:
Every time your dog pulls on leash and you continue the walk, you are
rewarding her for pulling and lunging. Every time your dog gets out of
control it is essential that you instantly stop the walk, stand still and
wait for her to calm down before continuing. It is a tremendous effort in
patience at first but it will pay off if you persevere. You may only get to
the end of the block or even your driveway on your first outing, but if you
give in to your dog's demands, then she will continue to pull. You can speed
up the process by asking her to sit- stay for about 5 to 10 seconds every
time she begins to pull. Of course this will only work if your dog already
has a reliable sit-stay.
Quite honestly, I don't have time for that crap. I do longe-line work
and recommend it. I also like prong collars. Dogs get them quickly,
they are easy for people to use, and effective. And walks can happen
immediately, which is a good thing IMO.
