    I'm not sure if you are using a collar or a harness. But if you haven't tried a harness, it's worth a shot.

    Another thing to try is using a cheap leash and let your dog run around the house with it on while you are home. It'll help get him use to the leash being on him. Just make sure to keep an eye on him while he's running around with the leash on so that he doesn't get caught on anything.

    Hope this helps.

    Try a gentle leader. It leads them by the nose.much like how the mom would have. It is very gentle no pulling needed. Just a very gentle touch

    Use what you've got. A leash and collar is perfect. "Halties" or gentle leaders I do not recommend as when they get a chance to get those things off they will RUNNNNNNNN. Every time you have her on leash use a treat or her favorite toy and give her that "treat" whenever she takes a step with the lead on her. She will get it that when she walks she is praised. It's the give and receive situation here and I believe she is "trying" you and your patience after all she is the Boss of you!!
