Hmmm have you tried the method of walking backwards when she pulls?

yes!! doesnt work every single walk when she pulls i stop. and then continue when the lead is slack. This sorta works, but not to the extent i would like. i have tried walking backwards, i have tried running in different directions so she will keep an eye on me i have tried treats, toys and cuddles.. shes not interested.

So i guess i'll just have to deal with skiing everywhere. maybe i'll get myself a sleigh.lol. or sit on a skateboard.

Jenny. Bella also made deathrolls a lot in the beginning, when she had her halti on, and still occasionally rubs her face in the grass, but I just pull her head up...

And she's a dream to walk, when I remember the halti that is....

Ha, Penny was the queen of deathrolls.

No, we just kept at it and she is finally good on it. Now she just comes over to you when you stop and rubs her head up and down your leg with impressive force. But when she butts you in the crotch..............

hi jenny. max has one of these http://www.dogmatic.org.uk/en-gb/dept_2.html and the pulling stopped. we had a few head rolls but he soon got used to it and kathy who he has stayed with for the last fortnight said he has been a dream to walk and that was even with coco pulling next to him

I use that on Star too, they are brilliant

they sure are

That's great katy, but the link doesn't work

Jenny at the end of the day, you are boss, she has to learn how to behave, if she doesnt like the halti, tuff, she has to get used to it !!!

Gentle leaders and halti's are my reccomendation too Jenny. It takes a while for the dog to get the hang of it. They have to associate the 'not pull' as good and the 'pulling' as bad, so I'd say stick with it.
Luke was one stubborn so and so when we first got him and at 45KG of sheer nervous power, I would have been doing the impression of a water skier
(I used the harness and the halti together, that way the main pressure wasn't solely on the head).


Now Linda would argue that half check collars are the way, but no matter how many times she's shown me how to train to heal with that, I still can't get the hang of it
