I knooow. people say it's a dominance issue but they just don't understand that snowdogs are free spirits, they're sassy and don't have the want to please their owners like other dogs do. We have him in puppy training classes and we work on training him in public but when he gets excited all the training goes out the window.

We live in a city, and I am paranoid as all **** about keeping him on a leash when he's outside. Soon as he sees something worth chasing, he will be gone.

I got this really nice no tug harness and he walks 110% better on it, he only tugs if he sees people, some animal poop or an animal. Does he tug?

He straight up pulls. 80+ pounds of "I wanna go that way" at times. Mostly when he's excited though. (which is all the time outside). But both of us just brick wall him when he does.

okay yea I'd totally suggest this harness, it pinches the back of the neck when they pull, like what a mom does to her pup when they're misbehaving. My boy is 6 months and already 50lbs.

Ours just turned three.

I think she's intending to weight train him at some point, though. So she likes the pulling. I'm indifferent.

I'm considering getting him a little back pack and fill it with a bit of weight so he tires out quicker

You need to assert your dominance more
