Aika is 9 months old and she has been doing really well with her leash training. I've been so proud of her for learning the cue "stay with me" and for the most part she had even stopped pulling. But, Yesterday I went for a walk with Aika and she had what I call a "fit". She's been doing great on her walks! But yesterday a few minutes into her walk she grabbed the leash in her mouth and started pulling, tugging, bucking like a horse. I tried to step on the leash to ignore the behavior but she almost knocked me off my feet. I tried treats, but she ignored me. I'm glad my husband was on the walk with me. He grabbed the leash and kept walking. Aika fought him on every step. She did this for what felt like forever until she got tired and started walking home like the good dog I know she can be. When we got home she went directly to the back yard for a potty break. I don't know if that's what it was all about. All I know is that when she was about 3-5 months she would throw similar fits (and biting) if she did not get her way. Any idea, suggestions, comments? I can't take her for a walk if she has fits like this... Is dangerous for both of us. By the way, I used to have a harness and she "ate" it, so I got it replaced and in two minutes while it was on her she "chewed" it! Now, I'm looking for a new and improved harness; her collar is not going to do when she tantrums.
