Question
I have two dogs, one of them likes to walk besides me, the other one behind me. I don't think she stays behind me because she is afraid, but rather because she wants to sniff stuff instead of keep walking. So I often need to pull her to continue. She could not want to walk besides the other dog, but I don't think it's the cause of the issue.
I use a H-harness in both of them. I do not want to use a choker as I've used them before and find them very little effective.
Any tips on how to make my dog walk besides me?
Answer
You should train her to come on command, and when she stops walking just call her and give her a treat. That's the easiest way for it. Don't forget to give the other dog treats too. And have the dogs like each other more by giving them positive experiences together such as play and training. She shouldn't mind to walk beside the other dog afterwards. And she'll be happy to walk with you without stopping as long as that gets her treats.
