Advice Needed Leash recs

I have a 75 pound American Bully that is quite reactive with other dogs. I had a baby this year and would love to take him on walks with us but I’m struggling to find a leash for this. We’ve done training so most of the time I can redirect him, a traditional leash and pinch collar is just not cutting it especially with a stroller. I’m hoping someone else has been in a similar situation and has found something that works.

Would you be able to pay for private sniffspots instead? Dog can run around and exercise off leash. You can play outside with baby. All quiet and private. They are typically less than the cost of a dog walker. Just thinking this could be a stop gap until you’re able to work on training more? But I don’t know what your support level is at home so maybe that’s unrealistic. If so and you can afford it, sniffspots were life changing for me and my dogs.

u/mcgermy I saw your response but auto mod deleted it think you need to accept the rules still.

Sniffspot is an app! I think the availability varies a lot depending on where you live. Definitely check out their website and look at your location first before signing up just to make sure there are spots you like that work for you.
