Residential Dog Training

I have a male Sheltie who is 9 months old.?

However, I've only had him since he was 4 months old. I've owned and trained Shelties for many years, but I could use some advice with this one. He's a wonderful dog, very good with grandkids, submissive, and obedient ... that is until I put him on the leash to walk. I live in a small residential area, while he was raised on a farm. Consequently, for the first 4 months of his life, he ran free on the farm with no traffic or busy distractions. Here though, I can't allow him to run after everything that moves. He sits quietly when I put the leash on him, and we begin our walk, but every time a car (even half a block away) goes by, he barks and pulls, and would definitely run in its path. It's frightening to know he'll get hit if the leash or collar break. I tried a choker (which I absolutely hate using), but he broke the ring right off it. I've never had a problem like this with any other Shelties I've ever trained or owned, so I could use a little advice here. Thanks!

if he pulls now it will continue until you can get him to stop

go to the pet store and get a "halti"
they come in all sizes.
it is the same idea of a horses halter

it goes around the dogs nose
and around the back of the neck
you want to get one that has a back up clip that goes to a normal collar.
so if the halti pulls off your dog is still attached to the leash

how they work
you clip the leash to the hook that is below the jaw
they can open their mouths
hold a ball
drink
it does not bother them
until the pull if they pull
the halti shuts their mouth
and it will turn their head to the side

because with dogs they understand things if it is instant
and constant
this way it is and it is up to them
it is important to anyway have the leash on the same side

it does not hurt them at all.

we have a dog that with any collar he will pull
he does not seem to care about his neck
with a harness he pulls like a sled dog
but with a halti he is great.
if he does something a very small tug and he stops

it does not ware the hair off like some collars.
