My Scottish Terrier pulls on leash. What training tools are safe?

Question

I struggle to leash-train my Scottish Terrier, is it rude to try a choke chain? Pet's info: Dog | Scottish Terrier | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 11 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ayli. I recommend trying a harness such as Easy Walk by Gentler Leader. The leash attaches in the front so if the dog pulls the pressure is across her chest. This gives you more control than with a standard collar or harness. You can also try a Gentle Leader halter. This works great, but takes more time for the dog to adjust to using. A choke collar can cause damage to the neck and throat if too much force is used. I hope this information helps!
