Answer

You should consult with an animal trainer to teach you how to walk your dog on a leash.  The other option is to get a lead called the "gentle leader".  The "gentle leader" is a lead that allows you to control the dog while you are walking.  You can purchase the lead from most pet stores.   


Good Luck -
