Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 6 months old
I've had eska for a few years now she is a five your old siberian husky. I got her as a rescue. No matter what I do she can't be leash trained she pulls and pulls and doesn't stop it's very stressful taking her for a walk. I was wondering how I can break this bad habbit.

I would recommend trying a harness or a gentle leader. These types of devices help discourage pulling. Once you get one of these products it is important to take Eska on long walks frequently to get her used it. This may be a struggle at first but the more you do it the easier it will become. Best of luck.

You should try a Halti or Gentle leader. this incorporates their nose to the collar and leash so every time they pull, it pulls the head down and makes them back up. Make sure you reward her when she doesn't pull and make her sit and wait when it pulls her back
