Chops, steaks and maybe a haunch and leg should be ok. Minced neck of venison would be a certainty.

Circumstances don’t really let me have my own dog at the moment and it’s probably a bit too soon. Love spending time with them though and getting out.
Had no look with borrow my doggy but asked the chef at my local pub if I could take his staffie Rottweiler cross out. He was happy for me to which is great. Beats borrow my doggy! He pulled a lot on the lead, what’s the best way to deal with that?
I’d hope to get a staffie or border terrier of my own in the next year or two. If anyone in Bristol got either of those and needs or a hand or would be happy to answer any questions please let me know!

Ace and what a beauty!
If it's not your dog, don't worry. Could ask Chef, he might have commands and tricks. But you need to be the boss and have confidence that the dog can feel. With mine, I pull up with a small snap of the lead like a pop and tell him, heal. But then it's not perfect either. He will only walk well on the lead if he's been for a run already.

You probably need one of those rope slip leads
18 months in with this boy, he’s been off his medication for a while but we’ve been recommended skullcap & valerian to help keep him calm

For me the most effective thing has been taking away the reward for pulling - so stopping moving in the direction she wants to go. Then either waiting until the lead is loose or changing direction and walking another way. It's annoying and slow though.
Lovely pooch! You could sign up for Rover and do paid dogwalks/dogsitting? -
Probably changes from dog to dog but I had some results training an Akita who pulls using a combination of methods.
Constantly get them back to heel, try to never walk anywhere with them in front of you.
Let them smell the thing or pee on the thing for as much time as they want, don't pull them away from anything they're interested in.
Anticipate where they might want to go next and direct them there, probably the least important part but it starts to give them the idea you're in control. I found leading them along hedgerows is easier than through the middle of open spaces where there is less to interest them.
If they're fixated on another dog or object in the near distance you should get them facing you with full attention and get them calm before carrying on.
Most important is keeping them at heel, short lead and when they get ahead you stop and get them back behind you. You need to anticipate which side of you they want to be on next all the time. A lot of people just let the dog out in front of them pulling side to side because it seems easier. What's actually happening is the dog now thinks he needs to do that for you to know where you are going.
For what it's worth, snapping the lead is not a very effective technique with big dogs who have massive amounts of fur around the neck, I found it's not a very productive technique anyway.
After a week or 2 he started to enjoy it because you're walking together he has fully explored his environment and trusts you to let him go where he wants and he's not just dragging a human around on a rope.

BBC bloke adopts Sophie the Romanian rescue dog:

She’s spent the last hour roaming the sitting room, taking treats from
my hand etc - feels like something has clicked for #sophiefromromania -
Cool. My mate rescued a dog 3 years ago and it still won’t come in the house when he’s there. It’ll walk by his side when they’re out, take treats and strokes, but turn completely when they’re home. It’s fine with other men, just not him as the permanent male in the house.
He’s even tried shaving his beard, not wearing glasses etc in case they reminded the dog of something, but no progress. Poor dog must’ve been so traumatised by some real cunt in his childhood.

That really made me smile

I loved our border collies growing up but they went to work with my dad everyday (great fucking birthday present dad) and he fixed farm shit so they had a lot of time to fuck about and really need it.

Current Skye border collie will not ever fucking leave you alone with wanting you to throw something for it for ever.
