I have a 3.5 year old pitbull who is a fantastic dog, house broken, kennel trained, does not bark growl or show any signs of aggression. He just wants to be loved. With that being said, he is awful on a leash. Walks side to side, pulls, ties the leash around me. when he sees another dog or a rabbit he bolts and nearly pulls me over.
I would rather not use any pain inflicting tools to leash train him, but if it comes down to it I will. It is rather embarrasing to have your dog walk you. Not to mention, when he pulls, spectators associate it with aggression. With pitbulls having such a bad stereo type, well...you know how it goes.
Thoughts? Ideas? to be a perfect dog this is all he needs and I'm willing to try anything!
