Or at least, with my husband. I haven't tested it with anyone else. I finally got serious about training Molly to do a nice loose leash walk. She generally did before but she also pulled a lot and since she's only 12 lbs I lazily ignored it, bad me, I know. After being shamed into action by a stranger who noted her pulling to me, I worked with her for a few days and she's doing beautifully with keeping the leash loose & heeling when I ask for it. Then we went for a walk with my husband and everything seems to have gone out the window. I thought, at first, it was the location. I'd been working with her on our quiet sidewalks & we were doing this walk on a trail with a meadow & lots of mole holes (her favorite), i.e. lots of distractions. However, we did a walk around the block with my husband and she still pulled like crazy. She's got a great relationship with hubs & loves to hang out with him so it's not an aversion to him that's causing her to pull. I'd appreciate some suggestions on what's going on here and how I can work with her so that she walks nicely when we walk with another person. Thanks in advance!
