hey, i have a weimaraner, he is not a puppy anymore, and im afraid to walk him because he pulls too much, how can i train him not to, without hurting him

[GuideDogManiac]

@brianmorteo there are a lot of great training aids on the market these days. there are some great harnesses that prevent pulling that don't cause pain and real easy to use. the leash clips to the front of the harness and puts a little pressure under their arm pit area so the don't pull. Good luck :)

@HannahBanana559 Ice cubes help a lot but lots of different chew toys to choose from help too.

Thanks for the help. I just wanted to mention that puppy raisers do not have the same rights as people who have certified service dogs. Because the puppies are not actual service dogs yet people can deny us access and we need to respect that. I have only been denied a few times in the 8 years that I have been raising so for the most part places are very understanding that we need to expose these puppies to all kids of places to get them ready for working life.

Thanks for the comment, Eli is doing much better, he just doesn't like "rude" puppy behavior like getting jumped on or getting a cold noes poke in the rear. We are working on making sure Ricki is respectful to other dogs. Thanks for watching :)

At the start of the vid you show Ricki with her big bro...are they getting along better now or is Eli still jealous/slightly upset?

Keep up the good work!
