I am at a loss.
Merlin has a great paying attention training/treats heel...but when it comes to casual everyday walking and staying NEXT to me. Oy. HE JUST MUST GO AHEAD/SURGE FORWARD.
He is not a yanker or a bad puller by any means...it's just enough so that he's in front (slowly but surely...) and the leash is taut
Right now our walks are like (he gets in front, I stop, he comes back next to me, good boy, I keep walking, he surges forward... rinse and repeat)
Sometimes I feel like he has a 4 second attention span before he forgets and goes back to walking in front.
ANY IDEAS?
