I am in full agreement with Maxhollynoah. Dogs that pull are very excited about their walks, and dogs also walk faster. I had problems with my dogs pulling, until I figured out this out. What I found useful was a good jog around the block first before the walk. The dogs get to walk at a pace that is pleasing to them and when we are finished with the jog around the block, we have no issues with pulling while we walk around a few blocks.
Plus I benefit from it too. If jogging isn't your thing, you could roller blade, speed walk or if your good train your dog to run along side a bike (I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but then again it is still winter here).
Hope this helps,
Sparky
