Hope you are still reading comments, Shibashake! I realize the most recent comment was in 2014. So glad to have come across this site though! My shiba inu is currently 4.5 months old and isn’t walking well with the leash. He is afraid of car sounds, especially loud revving, and the main reason he is pulling on the leash is because he’s so afraid he wants to rush home. I’ve been exposing him to cars and busy streets every day since I first brought him home at 2 months, but no improvement. I feel bad that he’s still anxious outside and not enjoying our walks.

I desperately need help. We got a standard poodle puppy to help our traumatized daughter (our son and my mother both passed away suddenly in a 3 month time span and she is having a difficult time with grief). 2 weeks after we got her I found out that I am pregnant. High risk due to tumors on my womb. It’s important that I not be knocked down. The puppy is kind but huge and I am unable to work with her. She now lives in a cage 24/7. I cannot get rid of her and further traumatize my daughter and let me say again she is a very sweet dog. But she does not calm down. She jumped on my belly several times while I was laying on the sofa and my husband got her out to go outside. She is terrible on the leash, it’s difficult even for him to not be pulled to the ground by her, let alone me. (She is now 7 months). She is starting to show aggression toward our other dog who is very old and has no teeth to defend himself. I believe her aggression is from being caged but I physically cannot take her out without risking the baby’s life and possibly mine. My husband works 12 hour shifts with 2 days off per week. It’s just not enough time out of the cage. Any advice you can give would be tremendous. When we can work with her (carefully, of course) she is not interested in treats or toys as rewards. The breeder came over to help us but I can not possibly do the submissive position with her, she is too big and strong and I am far too fragile. It did work, that one night that she worked with her like that she (for the only time ever) calmly laid next to me and didn’t jump on any of us. Any advice that you can give is so very appreciated.

Thank you so much for this fantastic outline! I just brought home a Aussie Shepherd/Border Collie mix (they think). Six months old, gorgeous, and with some reinforced bad habits from the shelter (jumping to greet and jumping up on the couch). Two time-outs in a row has worked to keep her off the couch during her first morning, and the Red Light/Green Light made our second walk a great success. She’s smart and energetic enough that sitting between “pulls” was frustrating her, but stopping and ignoring has worked wonders! Here’s to another five walks today.
