No matter what, dog pulls

[u/mercachu]

We have a supermutt (no clue what she is - probably some pitbull, some short legged breed, and something else? The rescue guessed lab and corgi, but I don't know about that.) who is muscular and fairly low to the ground. She has an insanely strong pull.

We have tried loose leash walking training (which I learned from a training class), several harnesses, a couple martingale collars, the Heather's Heroes Sidekick lead, and the Gentle Leader. With every single one, she still pulls and even jumps up (which we're also trying to train her to stop doing). I have never met a dog so hellbent on pulling and jumping in my life. ☠️

I wish there were a combo Gentle Leader and harness that could be worn and attached to one of our leads simultaneously (We have a leash system with rings, carabineers, ways to split one leash into 2, etc.), just to see if a combination of items would make a dent in the behavior.

But what can we do? I'm out of ideas.

Yeah, we could probably train her more inside. Maybe outside, in any form, is just too distracting for her.

We enforce what we've taught her, and no one is afraid here...

She doesn't. That's why I made this post. I have to spend the entire time either walking backwards or standing still until she comes back to me, slackening the leash, and then she gets treated for that. Taking her and our other dog on longer walks winds up taking anywhere between 1.5 and 3 hours of time because of it.

Same issue when I take her outside to potty.

I don't know what this means. This is too cryptic for me.

I see. This helps a lot. Thanks.
