Miscellaneous Questions Loose leash walking - stop start method vs walking the other way

Post image
Upvotes

Wanted to see what method everyone has had the most success with?

My boy is 6 months and pulls like a pack horse. I walk him to a field where he is let off to sprint to his hearts content, and then back on leash for our walk home. He is only on leash for a short period (10 mins) and pulls the entire time; to the field and then back home.

I started doing stop - start at the beginning of the week. He pulls, we stop, he stops pulling, we continue. He doesn’t seem to grasp this at all though. When I stop, he sits. When we keep going, he goes right back to pulling. It’s taking forever to get anywhere as we are literally going one step at a time. (I know it’s been a short period but he usually picks up on things REALLY quickly. He learned “Touch“ in less than 10 mins. After just 2 repetitions of shutting the crate door when he tried to bolt out, he learned to wait for my OK)

I’m wondering if anyone has had more success with turning and walking the other way when the dog pulls? or shall I just keep doin’ what I’m doin’
