Have you tried the harness?

I put Chloe in a full body harness that goes over her head and around her middle with two thick straps connecting the neck and midsection belts. The leash then connects to the midsection. Chloe (all 11 pounds of her) tried to take the lead but with the harness it is easier to keep her under control, except for a squirrel spotting which she hasn't every grown out of.

I know that we kept her on a short leash for what seemed like ages to keep her with us. I kept telling her "such a good doggie" "good Chloe" and when she started acting up, I turned right around and went home. She finally realized to get to go further she had to behave.

What type of dog do you have? I know the puppy stage takes forever to grow out, but be patient during the training because they have such big loving hearts.
