@wontbelongnow You’re speaking to my soul right now. What on Earth is the random sitting on the street, I don’t get it. My pup went from a relatively well behaved loose leash walking to either pulling me like a maniac or randomly stopping and when I call her with treats and my most playful...

@anthonyk This is really useful, thanks! My pup can usually be motivated by treats, but sticks and branches are turning out to be the highest value of all these days, so need to find alternatives.
