How to train dog to walk nicely on leash?
My Golden nearly chokes himself when walking with a regular collar on. He has been to obedience class, but just has failed miserably at walking by my side! So, I've tried a slip collar, but I just didn't like it and it didn't do much good anyway. So, now he wears a gentle leader, which works ok, but he still pulls a bit and I'm sure it's not good on his neck when he gets excited and jumps around when we see other dogs. Plus, it's leaving a permanent mark across his nose. So....what is the most effective way to train him to walk nicely using a regular collar? I don't necessarily care if he "heels' or walks by my side at all times. I just want to make him stop pulling. How did you get your dog to accomplish this??
It IS hard to teach an old dog new tricks!!
he is almost 3. rescued him at 10 mo. old.
Use a gentle leader or no pull harness. I don't like the ones that fit around the nose, I prefer the harness. I don't know how old your golden is, but mature ones are usually very docile and will walk right at your heel even without a leash. You might consider altering yours to calm it unless you plan on breeding.
