Yes, but work with the dog first on about 100' piece of lightweight rope or mule tape.
I'll pull mine to me saying "come here" and praise it. If it tries to run, I'll say "no" a few times then give a little juice... it doesn't take long for them to figure it out.
100% agreed. I didnt hav an issue with mine that did the exact same thing ur describing, but i dodnt hav mule tape, i just lit him up when he turned tail to run. Took bout 5 hits and he figured it out, but i praised him and giv him a weiner afterwards.
