DOG HATES LEAVING FROM WALKS

Everything#%92s fine till i leash her up for the walk home.

Do you unleash her at some point during walks?
How do you calm her down?

Seams like she likes getting things her way. That's a bit of a problem. Not just during walks but in your relationship in general. Does she do anything like that at home?

At 6-7 months my own dog (English Cocker) would throw a fit once he'd realize we are not turning towards the park. It was bad: jumping, biting, hanging on leash, attacking my legs. I ignored him and continued walking, I kept him war out of my reach so that he can't jump on me. This continued for about 2 weeks: me ignoring his requests, and him attacking my legs. We NEVER went to the park then; I rewarded my dog with that, when these protests ended.

Don't even try to 'calm her down'; when they have a fit, words didn't mean anything. A loud "Stop it" might only startle her for a second, if that.

A lot of people here own powerful dogs, they might have a suggestion on how to deal with this. My first reaction is: don't unleash her outside at all. Only have structured walks with her.

Yea, well at times when she doesnt get her way. She has her ways of getting attention like whining/ crying and sometimes biting at home.
The walks go as followed: Morning walks off leash 45-hour (never a problem with that). Night walks on/off leash 30min.
It could be the walk isnt long enough and she still has energy crampped up.
Then when I leash her up again to take her homes she has a fit and fights to stay.

It seems liek typical adolescent behavior to me. What do you do to discourage this behavior? From your concerning post I assume (and I'm doing just that assuming, correct me of I'm wrong) that you feel sad or guilty that the walk isnt as long as she would like so you project this sadnees into the interprentation of her behavior.
What your dog  has found is a behavior that produces extra attention, consoling tones, and maybe even extra treats when you get home. You haev to convey to her that you are the boss, you say when its time to go home and sI thunk it could be helped by firming up your posture to a dead ahead homeward bound jont, a firm tone, and a reward when she has doen what you have asked!
Puppies are like children, give em a inch and they'll take a mile!

If the only time you have ever leashed her up is when it's time to go, why would she like it???  In our classes, we teach people to tell the dog "go play", and then we have them go get them, ask them to be leashed and do a few exercises, like "sit" or "give paw" or "lie down", and then we release the dogs again "go play".  The dogs learn that, sometimes, when the human interrupts them, it's only for a moment or two, and sometimes it's to go home, but it isn't "always" to go home.
Why not try  leashing up and doing some exercises that result in a reward, let her go back to what she was doing, then repeat a few times.  One additional benefit - the mental exercise tires them out even more.
As to the leash grabbing, try smearing a bit of Vicks Vapo Rub or dab clove oil on it.  One other thing you can try is a Gentle Leader head collar.  My guess is that you could have used a good, positive puppy class while this dog was small enough to manage better.  But, it isn't too late. []
