I walk all three dogs at the same time. I know I'm crazy. I went through just about everything you could ever buy at any pet store. I'm no Cesar Millan, or Victoria Stillwell, but I can work with my unruly pack. My favorite is the easy walk harness. It's better than all the other harnesses because it does help a little bit with the pulling, but it's not the 'be all end all'. Your dog will still pull. My shepard mix does the same thing as your dog when she gets excited. She wants to play tug-o-war with the leash. If you have a yard or some space for your dog to run off leash, let your dog burn off some energy first. Don't try going for a walk right after the dog has been inside for a while and is bursting to go out. You won't be able to get his attention until he calms down. When you are ready to go out, bring some training treats. Tiny bits of chicken or ham will work. Put them in your pocket, or you can get one of those belt pouches. The trick is to get your dog to pay attention to you and not everything else in the world. It's going to take a ton of patience on your part and your dog will try to 'out-will' you. Everytime your dog pulls, you go in the opposite direction of his pull and try to coax him with a treat. You probably won't get out of your front yard on your first try, but don't worry about that. Just keep at it and eventually your dog will get it. If you don't have any treats and you want to go out, just remember to go in the opposite direction when he pulls and try to coax your dog to follow you. Good luck and have fun!
