Standing there for hours trying to do the doggie cutie want a treat thing is just not the best way to make 2 big strong dogs not pull. What i did with my dog (it was pulling like a madman when seeing a dog or cat) was simply a (not screaming) no and a light slap on its ass. (fyi im italian, my english stink).
Now she only pull out of happyness the first half km of every walk.  But in the line were walking, not risking to get us both killed under a car. |
I wonder whether you would try to train a killer whale to jump through hoops by using punishment...
Funny thing is killer whales are trained with the cutie want a treat (fish) method. Even funnier still I regularly train big strong dogs to walk nice on a leash using the cutie will only get a treat thing when cutie walks nice.
Good dog training is about respectful two way communication, it's a team effort. There simply is no need to kick a dog CM style.
For the OP I would also suggest the following:
