We have a rescue Newf, Shelby who is 5 years old. She came to us very overweight and has a subluxated patella. She also was not leashed trained. I want to walk her to build up some muscle and lose some weight. She pulls very badly so I am using a harness and she does very well. However, there is one problem--she lunges after passing cars barking and pulling. I usually reverse directions as soon as I know a car is coming (we live on a very quiet street, so we hardly encounter any cars) and this helps some but she still runs after the car barking until it's out of sight. Today I forgot to reverse directions, and she almost pulled me into the path of the oncoming car! I know car chasing is hard to break so I would love any tips as to training, collars, etc. Thank you!
