Well, training is still a work in progress I'm afraid. I've tried the suggestions and harry now walks beautifully...for about 3 paces!
A big problem with him is that he's so nervous of everything around him that he tends not to be focused on the training. If I work with him in a quiet place, all is well but as soon as we go on our normal walk, he is fearful again. As we live on the coast this is going to worsen as the area gets busy throughout the summer. I really want to be able to walk him along the seafront and for both of us to enjoy the walk.
So many people have suggested a halti, so I'm going to give it a go. I bought one this morning but at the moment he absolutely hates it. Unless I have a piece of chicken at the end of his nose, he's just going bananas leaping around and trying to claw it off. He's ok with it on in the house but a different story when I attach a lead.
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
