Hello! So, Rosa's lead training has been going quite well and I treat every single walk as a training session. She's great! However we still need to say out version if "heel" quite a bit, she's only 18 weeks so she doesn't have the best attention span after all.
However my man has her on a tighter lead usually and is always in a hurry to get to the park or something, and now I've broken my ankle and can't walk her so not only will he be doing almost all the walking, but friends who she just tugs the entire time for will be doing it too. No one else has ever listened to me and had the patience to get places by doing lead training on the way, and I'm scared her lead training which I've spent a huge amount of time on it going to go completely down the drain! She's a collie/Icelandic sheepdog cross (mainly Icelandic Sheepdog) and I've seen a few border collies around Berlin and they're the only dog breed I've seen here never off the lead and always pulling. I don't want a lifetime of horrible tuggy walks with her and she'd been doing so well.
What can I do?
