| Well as you all know indie is a big boy he weighs over 100lbs :ezcs: anyway,i walk him on a halti,he doesnt always pull,only if he sees people and other dogs he gets excited and wants to play and i dont want to land on my arse.so when he does pull i give the tug to the side but it makes no difference,he doesnt even blink,i'm sure his head is made of concrete,just wondered if there was anything else i could try apart from going back to basics. _________________  |

| you can try to bring something with very loud sound (eks metalbox with rocks in it) with you when you are walking him...if he starts to pull...drop it on the ground ..than you will get his attention... the momemt he end his unwanted behaveor..you can say good boy |

| Dont know sandra,he normally wears the gentle leader but when i try to correct him by giving the lead a tug to the side he doesnt even feel it i would love to walk him on a normal collar and lead but if he does lunge he's too strong to control,maybe the answer is to just spend a lot more time one to one with him. :thinking: _________________  |

| :thinking: I find Bryn Better on the Gen Con than the Halti, he has a Halti, Canny and Dogmatic, and I feel I have more control over him with the Gen Con |
