How can I feel more comfortable and confient walking my dog rather than using my bike?

Question by Makoce: How can I feel more comfortable and confient walking my dog rather than using my bike?

I usually take her for a bike ride rather than a walk — its because i feel like a target when i walk her.
if a dog runs after me down the street, i can petal away with her.
if there is a person walking down the street with a dog — i can pass before she notices and i can give a easier correction.
if something happens im just faster and slicker.

when i walk she jumps and pulls at other dogs, even with the prong collar and other corrections like cesar millan. if i body block she wraps up my feet, and if i turn her back to them she keeps turning around.
i feel stupid pulling on my dogs leash and making weird motions and such — especially sicne 95% of the people in my neighborhood have horrible dogs! So they wouldnt know dog training even if it smacked them in the face.
for some reason my parents hate the gentle leader
but agree with the prong

go figure x_X i dont get it either
maybe cause its misleading on the face

but i want to train her, not cloak over it
once you remove the head halter the dog isnt trained, just knows its not on and can do what it wants

Try a Gentle Leader. I use one with my APBT and it works wonders! Before buying it, he was a SUPER puller, but now if he tries to pull, I give a gentle tug and he settles right down.

***Well, then all you can do is train your dog to “Heel” on command. Seek a professional trainer to help if you need one***

Answer by Mtrlpqbiker
It is called a rear triangle. You are not very likely to be able to find this part for your bike. The store where you bought it doesn’t stock parts or do repairs. Even if you could find the piece, it would cost almost as much as you paid for the whole bike. If the rear triangle broke, odds are the rest of the bike isn’t worth saving
