I hope things work out for you and your dog!! Don’t forget to phase out the treats and replace them with verbal praise when she’s got the hang of it. Also, if she does try to pull, just stop moving; in her mind it should be, “When I pull we stop moving forward.”
Best of luck!

@Thewaterofthepool and tajuan1998, The problem here is basically the same. The dog doesn’t understand that you’re the Alpha and that what you say goes. A lot of times, this can be fixed by making the dog sit before you feed, before you put on the leash… before you do anything, really. Also, don’t let them run the house. If they misbehave, make them sit, lie down, roll over, etc until they’re back to looking to you. Should help immensely.

My dogs go crazy when another dog approaches us when we are walking. The chichauah does not like other dogs and is getting harder to handle as he gets older. I try turning his head, Tell him no and stop and sometimes that works. Other times he is out of control. How or what can I break him of this when we are out walking?????

This information is so outdated, it makes me want to cry….or scream!
Try reading some decent information by scientists who actually understand how dogs learn and it is not by you being the ALPHA…..it is by you understanding WHY the dog is reacting in this way……possibly out of frustration or fear…..so you have to habituate the dogs to other dogs in a calm manner and then build up to interaction if possible…check out a bona fide behaviour counsellor…it will be worth the money spent
