This is just me... I don't train OB with compulsion, but an undesired action like this from a large dog requires a bigger correction than a smaller dog (I raised a Bullmastiff, unfortunately I had to leave her with my parents when I moved out on my own yeeeears ago). I pop the leash hard and give a stern NO! then ask nicely for a sit. If the dog doesn't immediately sit, I use the compulsion method to make the dog sit. With a dog your size, it is absolutely necessary to have control over situations such as these when it can cause harm to you or the dog if accidently bumped out into traffic.Originally Posted by luce
Do you walk your dog on a slip chain, prong, or a flat collar? Also, what do you mean by agressive...does he bark/ go after cars or does he jump all over you?
