Generally Betty is pretty good at walking on her lead nicely. On the way out for a walk she will pull a bit but on the way home she is great and walks nicely. The only time this isn't the case is if she sees I have a tennis ball with me and the ball launcher (which isn't easy to hide) and then she pulls so much she looks like she is trying to climb up a mountain and then I am worried about choking her.
Anybody got any tips on how to stop her doing this? I really don't know what to do as I try making her sit and let me stand next to her and then we walk off again, I've tried stopping until she stops pulling. Treats don't work when the ball is around as when I make her walk to heel without a ball she is great!
I was thinking that maybe I should just take the ball and not the launcher a few times so she sees I have the ball but isn't as distracted by it.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
