Unhappy frustrated dog walker

I have a 3 year old staffy called buster and he pulls so much on the lead that I cant take him out on walks because he hurts my arms too much,my husband has to take him. Can anyone help please because I would love to take him out but if I do I end up very stressed!

I think you have the same problem I do. His name. I have a saint bernard named Buster and he drug me across the road in the middle of traffic and pulled the muscles in my neck and dislocated my shoulder.

A couple options to help the dog learn not to pull...

Seconding the Easy Walk harness! I volunteer at a shelter, and they use the them on the more boisterous dogs.
