if you are consistant with this then she will stop doing this and walk with you and be more focused on the walk, not the cars!
This is more or less what I have been doing but she isn't interested in the treat (tried usual range plus liver, chicken, cheese etc)
Should I try her on a harness? Maybe this will give me more control.
She is so well behaved in every other aspect and circumstance (ok, we won't mention puppy classes) it's kind of making our walks not quite as enjoyable.
Still, I will keep trying.........things can only get better! Thanks for the tips
