Our guy was pushy when we got him. After he taught me that I had no leverage against him with a regular lead rope and halter, I used a chain attached to the end of my lead. And we did lots of practice leading. When he would try to pass me - or lead me -, I would stop him and back him up. We've had him almost a year and a half. I don't use the chain now unless he "tells" me that it's going to be that kinda day. He still will test sometimes but not as severe or often. It's just a question that he's asking - "Rules still the same?" And the answer is always "Yes".
Good luck with your haffy. Keep us posted on how it's going.
