On walks, if my puppy is not pulling, is allowing her to walk in front going to be a problem in establishing pack structure?
Full Question:
Hello, I have a five month old GSD that I got at eight weeks.
On walks, if she is not pulling, is allowing her to walk in front going to be a problem in establishing pack structure?
I find that once our walk gets headed back she likes to be in front and can be quite polite about it. The walk stops if she pulls.
Thank you.

Dogs that are challenging your leadership typically aren't polite. :)
If you have any question about it, then don't allow her to be in front. It's always better to be more structured than too permissive.
