Hey, I have a 11 month old springer spaniel male, he is a house pet and companion. He is quite good off the lead and walks to heal for short periods of time (off the lead) but still needs some training, however when he is on the lead, he pulls like mad. Yes, I do get embarrased sometimes, but I do love him. I just need to know the best way to tarin him to walk to heal on the lead. Thank You. Bethany.

Our 8-month old springer does just as you describe. He has been to "kindergarden" and that helps. More classes to come. He is our fourth, and high spirits are common and desirable. The short attention span, impulsiveness, and distractability will moderate, so be patient. Enjoy their puppyhood!

Try the Gentle Leader head collar - we just got one for our 8-month old who used to pull like crazy and it's like day and night! I can even go jogging with her without her pulling.
