Used a method called Command Performance I think. It is for ultimately having your dog on a leash without the leash.
It is that one where you start out with a 20ft leash and just walk around making turns and ignoring the dog. You make sure to make abrupt turns and just drag the dog if need be. Not very long until the dog stays right beside you. The you find distractions and when the dog pays attention to the distraction you go the other way yanking the dog when it gets to the end of it's leash.
When it gets better behaved you go to a 6 ft leash.
Then you put just a foot or so of leash on them so they think they have a leash and if they wonder off you throw a chain at them.
After you go thru all the steps you have a dog that does not need a leash.
Did this with my first dog. Never had to resort to throwing the chain.
Second dog never responded correctly. Did great on leash, take it loose or go to the small chunk and she would just take off.
Pepper is about the middle. She pulls the first couple of minutes then behaves. That's why I said I need to train her more.
