Nanette… Our dog is used to pulling at his lead / leash when he’s working & on duty as my wife’s work partner (she’s a police K-9 officer). He’s a 90-pound German Shepherd & when he’s getting worked up to go after a suspect, my wife has a “quick release” mechanism so he can take them down. Fortunately, my wife possesses incredible upper body strength & can hold him until she knows it’s time to set him loose. The strain on a dog’s neck can be a concern, especially if its collar may be a little tighter than it should be. The last thing I’d want is for the dog to be harmed in any way.
Yeah… Jett is almost 7 years old now & she’s been training & working with him since he was just a 9 month old puppy, so they’ve developed quite the bond & understanding over the past several years ✊😌🐕

That is awesome teamwork with your wife and dog. Obviously she has put in tons of work with him so that he understands when he can pull 🤩🤩🤩
Most dogs in my neighborhood are pets who pull like freight trains 🤦
