Thanks for using PetCoah. This sounds like perfectly normal behavior for a puppy. The best way to improve the behavior is to spend plenty of time exercising, playing, and working on training. Even training simple things like sit, stay, fetch, can prevent anxiety help Okuri-inu regulate his behavior and stay more calm. Also consider constructing a small run for him outside. This allows him to be off a chain but still contained. Best of luck to you and Okuri-inu!

How can I get my dog to walk nicely on a leash I've tried changing direction everytime he pulls but even when I change direction he still pulls he doesn't care much for treats or toys he also never comes to me when I call him only when he feels like
I highly recommend you buy a Gentle Leader or Halti Collar to walk him. These are both head collars and when your dog pulls, lunges or jumps it will move his head back towards you which prevents him from pulling you. It will take a little bit of time for him to adjust to walking with this type of collar but it will give you a lot more control. I use one with my own dog and walking is so much nicer!

Doctor Jessica. I meant products like paw protection and shampoos and probably toys that could be useful and refreshing for her during the summer months and protection from bugs and mosquitoes and such. Thanks for the help!
For days where it is very hot, you do want to avoid taking your dog for a walk at the hottest parts of the day (mid-day) especially on paved areas as your dog's feet can get burned. They do sell dog booties that you can put on your dog's feet to help protect them. There are many different companies that make these, one example is https://www.amazon.com/HiPaw-Breathable-Dual-Boots-Protector/dp/B01HS2M7FI/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1496836452&sr=1-7&keywords=dog+boots. If she has no skin/coat issues, just a gentle oatmeal shampoo is fine for bathing when needed. Most dogs do not need frequent bathing unless they are getting very dirty and bathing too often can dry their skin out. I wouldn't bathe more than every other week unless needed. You can follow this with a creme rinse. I like https://www.amazon.com/Virbac-Epi-Soothe-Shampoo-8-oz/dp/B002CZHYPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496836697&sr=8-1&keywords=virbac+episoothe+shampoo and https://www.amazon.com/Epi-Soothe-Cream-Ri

We're going on a long road trip. Do you have any advice on what should I bring for our little wigglebutt? Except papers,water bottle and snacks and few favourite toys and protection for her. What else should I do?
Other fun things are a safety blanket, collar and leash, id tags just in case, Benadryl tablets in case of sting etc at a rest stop, and sounds like you have the rest covered! Happy travels to you and Bella!
