I would recommend a gentle leader and see if this works. I've used this on multiple dogs with behavioral problems such as what you are describing with great success! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I highly recommend you buy a Gentle Leader or Halti Collar to walk him. These are both head collars and when your dog pulls, lunges or jumps it will move his head back towards you which prevents him from pulling you. It will take a little bit of time for him to adjust to walking with this type of collar but it will give you a lot more control. I use one with my own dog and walking is so much nicer!

This can be very frustrating for everyone! Both the Gentle Leader easy walk harness and Gentle Leader collar (basically a head harness) can be wonderful tools to stop pulling. Also consider teaching Jenny a "look" command so that she learns to focus her attention on you.

If Mylo is pulling hard enough to cause that kind of reaction, he should definitely be walked with a harness or gentle leader. Persistent trauma to the neck can cause permanent damage to the trachea and the associated bony structures of the neck. From a behavioral standpoint, Mylo may respond better to a harness or gentle leader as well, as many dogs simply follow the commands of their owners better under these conditions. Hope this helps.

I would recommend that you take Halo to a pet store, like PetCo, so you can try out different types of harnesses. There are many different styles, and the best fit will depend on many factors, including the size and shape of Halo. If you use it with a tie-out, then make sure that it can't cinch down tighter when she pulls, since that could be uncomfortable and may cause breathing issues.
