Hi! My female labrador 11 months old has a habit of leash pulling while on walks especially when she would notice other dogs, cats and kids. She would get extremely excited and pull us (drag us literally) to the other dogs and jumps on kids too. We have tried positive reinforcement, treats sometimes scolding (using commands like bad girl)as well. I Wish to self train her. Any tips or tricks would be really helpful and appreciated.

You need to train her to walk besides you on leash inside the house or in an environment where the pup is not distracted. Sometimes walking very early/ late in the evening might be helpful to avoid distractions. When distracted the pup would not register the command and hence will not respond. If you think you need assistance from a trainer now would be the right time, because as they grow older it becomes like a permanent trait and training becomes even more difficult.
