Default Basic advice, leash training

Hi, working with Cash (dog) here.

Has anyone got a decent lead for a web site with leash training? Cash
pulls quite strongly though less so if I shorten the leash. I dont expect
a perfect heel (nor feel a need for it) but he wants to walk faster than I
can comfortably and pulls.

And no, before any ask, I do not want a choke collar or anything with
those nubs inside that hurt if they pull too much. Just basic advice on
how to do this and some leads on places to check.



I rescued a dog that had basically no leash training when I got her. She
was already a strong, adult dog. Like you, I really didn't want to use a
prong collar, but I decided to try it. It worked really well. She didn't
injure herself with the prongs, simply learned to not pull. It isn't
something that you use forever. It's merely a tool to use until you have
taught the dog to 'not pull'. I haven't used my prong collars in a long
time now.
