I use a few strategies...most important is to shorten hold on the leash so that the dog is directly under me. This makes my hold a lever with maximum power to keep the dog in position. Second is to have an adequately thick lead to allow dog to feel the tension at the neck. A police dog trainer was impressed that my large dog responds perfectly with only a thick canvas lead, not needing leather. Third is to place my body between the animals to block their view.
Merry Christmas to you and Beau!
