julie(: asked:

i have a lab/ABPT/great dane mix ..so yeah…he is pretty big..
i’m 14 and very small(around 4 ft 10 inches lol)

we got my dog when he was 1 or 2
and he walks pretty well on a leash most of the time
but when he sees other dogs .he goes crazy
like really crazy
and its hard for me to control him since he is so much bigger and stronger then me

once,i was walking him and he took after this one dog and ran a few blocks away
and he ran down the street
plues,alot of people get scared when they see such a big dog like him,plus he looks so much more pit bull then any other breed in him.it makes people scared cuz they think he’s going to bite or something
my mom is nervous to let me walk him alone now..
we have a choke chain but i don’t like using it on him

what other items/training tools do you think would be good for him?
my mom and i also kinda don’t want to use a prong collar…

thanks :)
we are training him too
we’re doing what launi said,only using a normal collar and he is getting better but my mom still thinks we need something to get more control of him
we tired an anti pulled harness..and launi you were right lol…it didn’t work out AT ALL

UMI? asked:

Do you feel uncomfortable?
I feel uncomfortable when I read other people recommending prong collars, check chains or negative reinforcement methods to people on here because SOME of the people they’re recommending it too have no experience at all with dogs and will do damage to the dog using these methods.
Do you feel the same way?
LIzzyB, I wasn’t talking about you specifically it was a generalization.
Don’t take it personally.

Canis Lupus Familiaris asked:

My Newf is 3 yrs old and I have tried a ton of training tools but none have seem to the work.Just to name a few I have tried the Gentle Leader Head Collar, the Anti- Pull Harness, prong Collar, Shock Collar and the Choke Chain.Currently he has a regular harness and that has given me more control as far as being able to hold on to him but it hasn’t really helped his pulling. What training advice would you recommend?
