Lol. Very good point. My dog used to do this when he was younger. Pull on the 10 metre stretch towards the park and but other than that on the way there and back walked well. So he slipped into a state of lack of respect for me in that 10 metre stretch?
Not so sure about that one myself. I think he was just keen to get to the park and have a good walk.
He soon learnt to stop when he realised that every time he did pull on that stretch I'd just turn around, so he was better off walking nicely as he knew how to and getting to the park quicker.
I can see where you are coming from goodvic2- but in my opinion "dominance" and leadship isn't by any means the only thing that dictates canine behaviour. Everyone has their own perspective on things though, so fair enough. That's just my opinion on it
