Try to keep socialising him with as many dogs as possible, it's not nice having a dog aggressive dog as there's nothing better than watching them interact together.

Did you have problems with pulling

Yes, initially Keerah would tug and pull in every direction. Lots and lots of leash training may be need. When he starts the tugging, stop and make in sit. Wait for awhile with him sitting then heal off again. When the tugging starts make him sit. After awhile (maybe a long, long while) he will et better. He won't know when you are going to stop so he will heal much better for you.

Good Luck

Jimmy, I should also have mentioned this:
1) Take the loop of the leash and put it over our left thumb.
2) Hold the leash in your left hand firmly giving your og only a little bit of lead (no more then two feet. This will ensure that your dog doesn't get to far in front of you and will give you better control to check the pulling and tugging.

It will take alot of prctice but eventually you will suceed.

I could take my Keerah on a walk and she would always heal nicely with a lot of slack in the leash. Her sholders would always be right at my left leg.

By the way do you heal on the left side in England? Do you heal off with your dog with your left foot?
