[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 559482, member: 14557"] I second to this. And anyway re-train her to the leach slowly. First train her to like having a harness (or collar, if you don't want to use harness) on. With harness don't even dress it first. Just put it over her head and give a treat. Again and again. Do it few times at time few different occasions during the day and in few days you have a dog who loves her harness. After you are there, attach a leach and give a treat and take it off. Do it for example five times three times a day. After that leave the leach on when she eats. After she loves her leach too, only then it is time to move outside. First walk on the yard, treat her and then move to the walks. All in all, it should not take you more than two weeks and maybe two or three hours all together to get her re-trained. It sounds like she is quite sensitive in the way that she remembers bad experiences for the long time and quite strongly (I can't remember the terms to describe dog character 'officially' in English, sorry) so positive reinforcement is likely to work with her the best.
