Bert still requires training. If I don't put time in he still reverts in some ways, not all a lot is very installed but there are bits- lead pulling being the main.
He does zig zaggy loose lead walking training beautifully. He is the same at home or in the middle of a field out walking. Not so in a straight line going for a walk, so we still need to keep working at it.
I know consistancy is key and make him walk in the correct place without pulling on the roads, is it ok to give him more freedom off road (I keep him on a lead in public places) so to let him sniff round and criss cross round me and i suppose pull round a bit (as in lets go look at this or sniff over there) on a long lead or will this confuse him until he's 100% at never pulling?
Can it be one rule for roads and another for fields? Someone said I should change lead if I'm going to do that so he understands maybe when his slip lead is on he walks nicely but when he has a lunge line he can do his own thing (to an extent)
