have you ever heard of a 'gentle leader"? (another brand is called a 'Halti') instead of attaching the leash to his collar - he wears a very light 'head harness' ( to the uninformed, it looks like a muzzle - but it's not) and the leash is attached right below his chin.

what this does, in effect, is allow you to walk and 'direct' him by his nose and head, and NOT his neck - like a halter on a horse.

A dog can pull very easily against a leash around his sturdy neck and chest muscles & with 4 paws on the ground - but with the leash attached by his NOSE - he doesn't have as much leverage, and that keeps YOU in charge.

you direct where his head goes, and his body is bound to follow!

(it's much easier on your poor arms, shoulders and back, too)

put the gentle leader on and also use the 'weird walking' trick suggested above, and it will work quicker than with a regular collar and leash!

Isn't Tomorrow the BIG DAY?????

have fun!
