Hi all,
I have an elderly neighbour with a very big, strong, lively lab. The longer she has owned him the more difficult he has become (not his fault I know). He pulls terribly on the lead, it has now got to the stage where he is hardly walked.
I have owned a springer x staff for 2 years (he is now 5). It has taken me a long time to get him on track but he is pretty good now. So I have some experience of strong crazy dog
I have offered to help walk him but I am a bit nervous of taking on the challenge. Idealy I would like him to walk with my dog as I think they would both benefit.
So, any advise? I know it will take time and patients but I am willing
Many thanks
Lisa

what a shame the dog sounds way to much for the elderly neighbour. proberly be best off with a small breed

I know. I thought if maybe I started helping out then I could either, take the worry of walking him away or suggest a change of pet. Would be a shame to part them.

I admire you to offer to walk this dog - B' wrong - but in all honestsy if I were you I would not be tempted to walk him with my own dog initially - if you could walk him on his own and try to install some sort of dicipline first. There could be a danger that walking the two dogs together (even if yours is well trained) that your dog may try to lead and hence pick up bad habits from the other dog
Maybe I am wrong - but if I were you and had the time i'd try and spend sometime with him on his own first.
Bless you

Thank DT. Don't worry, there is no way I would walk them at the same time.
I know my limits!

I have moved you thread here as you are more likely to have more replies, hope you dont mind
