I don't think he is beyond training, He is not allowed in my office the
bathroom or upstairs, he moves to his cage to sleep in overnight when I
rattle the cups as I take them down to the kitchen, he sits and waits
for the command to eat and he is great with the kids. but he has three
issues I would like to solve lead pulling, jumping up to greet and
coming back when called.
I think part of the problem is the older boys take him for daily walks
and are not strict enough BUT saying that he still pulls when me wife
and I walk him.
My sister used a choker for a while on her dog an he is fine, so while I
understand AG's comments I am not totally against the choker BUT I am
willing to try another technique, what do they teach at obedience school
as a method to solve the lead pulling. He is an English Cocker spaniel
and I just think he can't wait to sniff all around an forgets he is on
the lead.
