I'm just wondering how many of you have got your beagles walking nicely on the lead, and if you have, However did you manage it /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
We have tried: Be a tree (stop every time they pull and carry on when they stop pulling) - For some reason he started to sit down every time I became a tree, and then would pull the second we started again!
Turning in the other direction (zig zagging or turning around whenever they pull) - With this one he catches up with me, overtakes and pulls!
I don't need him to walk to a formal heel, I just want him to be able to explore the world up to the limits of his lead, and not pull my arm out of the socket! This is of course much worse whenever there is another dog in sight, or if we have had a particularly exciting walk. He is only 10 months old, so perhaps we need to just persevere with one of the above methods, I would love to hear other peoples experiences though.
