Sounds like Nebo!! Uuugghhh....I've been trying to teach him to walk nicely on a leash since he was a puppy. Apparently I'm not a very good trainer. It was so frustrating going for a walk. He doesn't tug hard, really, but he doesn't just walk next to me either. I'd be stopping every 2 seconds with him, and walks were not enjoyable for me. Now with the halti, I don't have to stop because he can't pull...now the walks are enjoyable for me, but I don't know about for him lol.

I've tried to teach heel but it doesn't seem to stick...I don't know...maybe it's harder because I have a dog that was *bred* to pull!
