I have a 4 yr old lab/corgi mix. She Was free to a good home. When i went to pick her up SHe barked alot But she came to me and she wanted to be petted.When it was time for me to take her home she sit and let me put the leash on her And then away she went with me behind her. I started reading about training your dog not to pull on the leash. So i started having her to sit and Stay while i put her leash on her. She does good on that one after the leash is on She just wants to go go go. I have been working with her in house By having her to sit and giving her praise and then having her to stay for me then we go for a walk around the house and she stays right by my left side and doesnt even pull. But when we get to the door she wants to go through it first and then i end up being pulled down the stairs and out in the yard.So then i stop and she still continues to pull. I try to get her attention so she will come to me and when she finally decides to come to me i praise her and even reward her thats if she takes the treat.I had her Doing good Then all of a sudden She decides that she is not going to listen to me. I need help on breaking her from this behavior I dont want to have to give her away.Like i said she is agood dog she obeys great when in the house. What can i do can anyone give me some advice to try. I have tried stopping and turning in the other direction I have tried having her to sit and staying so she will calm down and that doesnt seem to work I just need some help thanks

It sounds to me like you know what you're doing-- and you're doing great! Just give it more time and practice. One thing you should know, though, is that labs (you said your dog is a lab mix?) are traditionally hunting dogs-- they have a very strong sense of smell, and a strong urge to follow any scent they pick up. When you get your dog outside, all kinds of different scents are drawing her, making her excited, making her just want to take off running (does she put her nose to the ground a lot of the time as she wanders?). I have a hunting class dog as well, and at first, right after I say, "okay, let's go," she puts her nose on the ground and starts zig-zagging around right off the bat. Some might disagree with me, but for the first 10-20 minutes of our walk, I just let her do this. She will potty quite a bit too. But then, after she's done her sniffing, the walk is for me. She settles into it, and we can start walking the way I want to. It might go against what all the experts say, but this method really works for me, and keeps me sane! (I don't let her drag me, though. She gets a correction when she pulls. I've found an anti-pull harness works really well for that. Some people like the "Gentle Leader.") Have fun, and remember: You're doing great. Keep up the good work!
