Pulling on Lead (walks nicely with one person, pulls with two - why?)

There's me telling oh Harvey is brilliant on the lead, and he just trots alongside me. We walked down the town together this evening and he made me look stupid, he pulled all the way down there.... the only difference is that my oh was with us, as normally it's the two of us!

He pulled and showed you up because the circumstances were different. If your OH hadn't been there he probably would have been ok. Were you walking in an area that Harvey is not really familiar with? You often find that dogs in a strange neighbourhood mess about on lead, the smells and sights are different to the smells and sights that they are used to. And anyway, dogs ALWAYS show you up when you could most do without it!!!!

he was telling his dad that he can go as fast as his motorbike .......lol

on a serous note it could well be that OH was with you and the walk was different

Quite agree, Barney never pulled on his regular local walks, but if we went on holiday or out for the day, he would pull on his lead because he was so excited with the different smells and sights around him.

Poppy walks nicely for me, but pulls OH down the road and jumps all over the place. Now he won't take her out. She walks nicely for my mum too. I think she just knows she can play her dad up!!

Cassie's always been better on the lead with me and off the lead with the OH. She walks much better between us, no matter who has the lead
