We have recently given a home to a rescue dog , she is approx 18 months old and has been kept in kennels , and walked only once every other day, from what we can gather she was walked a short distance and then let of the lead to run. She is a lovely dog excellent and gentle with children and is used to a home environment she does not mess and loves to play fetch withy her ball , she is good at recalling some commands and sits when asked to do so , however the big problem we are having with her is getting her to walk on a lead , she pulls and is very unfocussed leading off in different directions , and she is very easily distracted , she gets very excitable when she comes across other dogs and is hard to control , we would welcome any tips to help with her lead walking and socialising.
