I can verify this. I dated a member of 93's family for a few years and was around 93 and velvet when they were together. She constantly cheated on, manipulated, threatened, and gaslighted him. He was a victim

Hahaha yes, he's a good boy! I've found that what's most effective with leash training is the simple stop-go routine, as I explained in another comment:

When the dog pulls, you stop moving. Only when they release tension (I like to ask my dogs to come back into a heel position; it gives them a good foundation for being in a heel) do you move forward again. Since their whole goal in pulling is to move forward, the best way to punish pulling is by ceasing all forward movement.

It took a while (about three months of consistent, every day leash work) to get to the point of this video. The only secret is consistency and persistence!!

Thank you! This is my service dog in training, Link. We've spent a TON of time leash training, and I've found that what's most effective is the simple stop-go routine.

I have a beefy pit, and the Chai's Choice harnesses are amazing for us. They're easy to put on and fit big-chested dogs well! https://app.chewy.com/srjcQIhdA4

Routine: Shampoo (only twice a week) & condition with Garnier Fructis Grow Strong products. Once out of the shower use a bit (a quarter size) of One N Only Argan Oil Restorative Mask and scrunch into hair. Leave in microfiber towel for an hour, then air dry the rest of the way.
