I have a male dog who is a mix between a brussels griffon and a mini poodle. I have tried several methods of walking him. I have tried a harness, without a harness, stopping and then once he stops moving going (he knows to stop, but starts to pull again.), keeping him at arms length, giving him treats when he walks nice, praising him. He still pulls and once on his leash will not listen to anything for the life of him. Also, he listen to me very welll, but he doesn't listen to anyone else. Sometimes he will go to sit on or lay by my husband and when he goes to move the dog will growl and snap at him. He snapped at my family and friends too. He attacks the cat when he tries to get close to me. I then stand up, say NO and point so he knows to go into his kennel, which he does, but he only listens to me. We are trying to start a family and there is no way that he is going to snap at a baby. Would taking him to classes be a good idea? Generally how much are classes also. Thank you.Thank you for the suggestion, but I have tried the squirt bottle and he wasn't affected by it at all. He actually comes over to it and licks it after you put it down. It works better for the cat though.

Taking him to a class would be a great idea. Classes are normally 100$$, but they are totally worth it. Try it.

yes, training and obiedience classes are generally good for your dog. for the walking problem, i know this sounds cruel, but you should use a pinch collar. the collar doesn't really "pinch" your dog, but it prevents your dog from going ahead of you and pulling you. it's not as bad as it sounds or looks. it is perfectly safe and will not harm your dog. my dog was like your dog, pulling me everywhere when we went on walks, but after i got the pinch collar, he realized he couldn't pull me anywhere he wanted so he started walking correctly and he always stays by my side everytime we go for walks and i don't need to pull him anymore! good luck

Help you the problem with your dog he will listen to everyone grave a buttle of water spray and when he do something you dont like it spray at him that how he will listen to you guys, tell your husband when start growl or snap on him hold the dog mouth tell the dog no no no very loud do it over and over until he learn his leason
