Mathew has a severe case of ADD and will pull all ways.

Oh he also has to jump up and try and catch any low hanging greenery he see's!!Everytime I look down at him he is carrying a different, and increasingly bizzarre, item in his mouth and training with treats resulted in him jumping up and down in excitment and actually walking backwards to better watch the treat in my hand! 
So any collar you'd reccomend or should I go straight to medication.LOL  |
In your case I would recommend a doggie back pack. I use them for my 3 rescue dogs as they have issues on walks i.e other dogs, cats. By using these it sends them into working mode and makes them focus on the task in hand, and although does not erradicate the problem, it massively helps. It also stops the constant peeing! It also gives a tougher work out and drains energy faster. I build up the weight on my guys and when the sun is shinning and we are walking up hills - it sure tires them out. They carry poo bags, bottles of water, treats and anything else I can think of! I have been using them for about 4 months and I cannot recommend them enough. Only cost about 10GBP from ebay.
