What you need is a deterrent to her pulling you, where she wants to go, either you make it so lovely to be at your knee using food treats, and spend the rest of her puppyhoood feeding her treats, or...

you get a "choker chain" link collar and she gets a few walks of tough love with a gentle quick yank to pull her into line. It will only take a few 15 minute walks with (if you want) treats for being really really good, and a quick jerk for when she pulls . And puppy obedience classes would be a good idea. I trained and showed dogs for years, and I never ever used a harness. Had Labs, Afghans, Whippets, Old English Sheepdogs, Boston Terriers blah blah, some of those dogs were really big and a harness just would still allow them to pull me around, the idea is to make them "want to stay at your left knee", to love to be next to you, and for them to watch what you are doing and for them to anticipate your movements, not you following them.

i get what you are saying, azzy. my concern is that she is injuring herself. she was choking and even vomited after a short walk. she just runs to the end of the leash, runs up against the end of it, and then struggles against it some more! madness!

pete, don't i know it. i put the one on yesterday, thinking it wasn't quite right. then, it seemed to seal. drove the car this morning, clearly it wasn't sealed. so, back to the parts store, get the right part this time, do it again.

I went thru that with my alternator on the El Camino. AutoZone kept giving me a different POS that either had a bad bearing or would not charge properly. I finally bought a rebuilt unit from a local rebuild shop that is a one wire alternator. I went to Auotzone and got another free replacement and put it on the shelf as a backup. The one wire unit died a week later. I put the AutoZone one on and it was perfect. Instant 13.4 volts and quiet. The rebuild guy fixed his unit for free. He said it was a defective stator and it was very unusual that it failed. Now I have a spare alternator on the shelf. I can swap the alternator in 15 or 20 minutes.

"D" Try a choke chain or a thing called a "gentle leader". We tried everything for our lab I finally took him to the beach and put him on a 30 foot rope, he ran to the end and when he got there I yanked back and sent him end over end in the soft sand. Has not pulled once since.

One of the office girls figured out he went up to the 8th floor. (No idea how she did that.) The only offices on that floor are either an accountant or an ADHD specialist.

My sister saw him about a year ago ('11). Her husband's office was having an office Christmas party in a hotel in downtown LA. P. Diddy must have been attending some other function in the hotel or meeting someone there, as she saw him poking his head into the X-mas party room.

oh good just what he needs and accountant who can't focus long enough to balance the books.
