Exactly! It's just like if your kid is stressed and scared. If you become calm and firm in the situation and you let them know/ feel that you got this, you got their backs and they don't need to worry, they are going to calm down and look to you to feel safe. Dogs need reassuring that they can trust you.

Some kids saw me walking and told me there was a dead cat on the sidewalk. Im thinking idk what to do either but knew I had to be calm and collected. I told them go home I will call animal services.

We have started using your advice with our pooch and have seen almost an instant change. Please keep making these videos. And thank you.

Correct! Plant the leadership 💪🏼

Nice white German shepherd!

❤ perfect - thank you for this

Great I realize if I remain calm so does Leo..

You are by far the very best most helpful trainer full of consistently beneficial positive reinforcement that always works. I will say I still work daily with a pulling walk pup but it’s so much better and I’m confident we will eventually get to an easy loose leash walking habit.

So grateful for the clean clarity and wisdom, and truth of the information you put out. Again, grateful for you. Thank you

My 8 month old Chapo is doing so good.... A work in process, but certainly a better dog, than before. Thank you, Mr. Atherton! 🤗

I'm going to try this. Thanks.

Thanks for all you do to help us owner properly lead our fur friends!

Have you never owned a dog?

The way the dog has its ears tiled back 😂

I have a male Bandog puppy (Bull mastiff x pitbull mum an Pitbull dad) I want to thank you for these instructional videos. Helping shape him into a confident, successful happy boy.

Absolutely love these shorts, I'm constantly picking up new tips to help with my pup. Thank you!

Thank you Will. I will i will give this instruction a good consistant go with my dog.

My doberman came from a 20 yr blood line. Basically came out of the box. Able to follow commands and stacked perfectly

Starting this tomorrow morning Alongside my 12 yr old daughter & 6 mth old cane corso Rue 🖤🐶✨😊🇨🇦thank you for your videos! Watching them daily

Beautiful, so precious! Thanks very much!!!

"good girl" - and Millie started smiling 😊

Ooh I like that one. I've always been in the habit of putting my dog to a sit when I stop. My problem is now trying to figure out how to change the speed of the paces when we walk. I always walked fast but now that I have arthritis in my ankle and I'm legally blind I still have 25% of my vision I'm not always sure where I'm going, I have a beautiful red golden and she is amazing and I want to get the most out of her. She is picked up on my anxiety and has learned how to calm me when I'm anxious but now I would like to make her my service dog I'm having a tough time finding a Handler or trainer that can help me. I have trained a lot of dogs before I lost my vision now it's a little scary.

Thank you. I have just been using a couple of your things you have given and they are working like magic. Thank you

2nd !❤🇨🇦 Thank you, I will start doing this. My farm dog shepherd Jack needs to chill, when I walk him in town. He's come a long way for a pup born into a situation of wild dogs, in the great frozen Canadian north. He's two now, will take on a bear, or a moose without hesitation, but he's aggressive when it comes to dogs. Mostly fear. I'm gonna keep watching. Thank you again, from an old grandma in northern Ontario Canada❤🇨🇦 Your video's are great, by the way.

Thank you mate 🫶

Great point! I can't wait to try it!!

Thank you!

I tried that once with my dog Yennifer. At the time i actually had the collar on my waist, soon it went down to my legs. She hopped right over my leg and ran off. She dragged me with the leash for about 2 minutes before it snapped

Thanks Will, reactivity seems like my last hurdle with my 1yr old gsd. My first gsd.

Thank you Will!

Hi I have started to watch you only in the last month.. got new gsd pup 8weeks old and with your advice she was potty trained in 3 days she knows her name she sits on command and puts up the paw when I say hello..yes I use treats..thank you..keep up the good work. I have learnt a lot....pat Ireland

Great point

I love this mans presence and demeanor, I bet he's like 6'5!

I'm definitely going to try this with my reactive dog, we're making progress but that may help me a lot

Lol. My dog used to put his paw always on my food, so I changed the game and now I'm doin it. So she knows who is in charge now

Great advice, beautiful dog btw

i plant flags when i go for walks except there for the pop i have to come back and pick up when i forget a bag

Will thanks man you have taught me so much on my cane corso journey and I now have an amazing 19 month old boy who's a joy ... but the number one this is never stop even when you think you've cracked it don't let the bad habits slip in !!! Keep it up man !! 🐾🦍✌️💙

The way he talks to her in a lil sweat voice while his actual voice is that of a viking is heartwarming 😂❤

That dog is absolutely beautiful ❤

Wow, our highly reactive/aggressive Mastiff Shepherd rescue is really responding to this. For the first time before going out the door, he is looking up to me for the okay to go out the door. I can't wait to try it the next time the doorbell rings, and he loses his mind. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this❤

Sawat Diiiii Khrap (“Hello” - Thai Transliteration) from Phuket, Thailand….. Will….. I really like these short videos (2-3min) you’ve started that focus in on one (1) specific training tip. Not everybody has 30min at one time to watch a full length production….: ) But…. We all have a few minutes here and there throughout our day where we can watch several short clips, covering different tips. Keep up the Good Work…. Cheers…

Great advice 👍🏻 thank you 😊

Watching him for a bit and he spot on

I will try this on my neurotic Labradoodle!...will let you know how I get on.

Great stuff. Love the boots!

Great advice, as always.

Thank you for this trick!! I will add this into my pup's daily walks...

That's a good one.

I’ve never thought of this. Awesome. Ty

Thanks for the tip!

Absolutely 💯 accurate!! Thank You 😃👍🏼

Easier said than done when you’re a big tall dude 😂

Amazing advise .

Awww my Aussie’s name is Millie!

lesson no. 1... thanks 👏👏👏

William , i have started doing this with my Doberman, as sometimes he becomes reactive to bicyclist on our walks. Doing this method has really helped, me with my boy . Thank you so much for the tip .

I have tried that so many times with my corso. Bugger just ignores it😂

Good one!

Beautiful dog. Yes this truck really helps with reactivity I see dogs infront of their owner and they are much more likely to become reactive especially if they are on a tight leash and they are not confident or nervous animals in the first place. This tactic allows your dog to look to you for direction, they see that you are calm and it communicates what is expected of them. He's a great trainer!

I didn't know that! Thank you so much for sharing this information

Thank you for the advice, I will try this, kind regards, Joanne 🐺

Gotta try that!

That would be our right foot … for us Americans. 😊

I do this with my dog all the time and if something is going on that makes him nervous, like bicycles going by, he rests his cheek against my thigh. He's partially blind, so this physical contact helps him know I'm there for him.

Just practice during your normal routine. Before you open the door. Before you give food. Before you put the lead on etc etc. This is an easy command my Husky does on walks

got my subscription

This guy knows his stuff , so many are popping up these days 😮, but this guy is good end off !

Thanks for the dog training tip.

I love your accent. Good advice.

We gonna start practicing this tomorrow!

I do this naturally without thinking, even going up the stairs to the apartment my leg is in front of him.

Good girl ❌ "gOoD gEaIrL" ✅

My family has a similar idea, it's where you put your foot over gently but firmly in front of the back paw or on the front paw. All though my dad was training hunting and hopefully one day assistance dogs.

This is gold advice dude

My Japanese Spitz will often not sit when I tell her to sit while on a walk. She is so distractable and if she sits she often gets up again without waiting for me to release her.

I must try!

♥️🌹🐾

Are you from the UK Also amazing tip never would’ve thought to do this.

All fun and games til your dog doesnt sit and constantly jumps up at the lead

Never occurred to me that British people and others who drive on the left would also heel left with their dogs 🤯 or maybe just a leftie idk. Always taught the duck retrievers commands for heeling and returning on the right

Looks like he's keeping up the British tradition

I do something slightly different, I specifically tell my dog to stop, so that when we get to crossings etc she stops when told, and doesn't walk on until told. Also very effective

@MIAMILIFEANDFITNESS

I do the exact same. It’s crucial for emergency situations in the event she needs to stop without by heading to the street! That word is pivotal

I tried this today with my lil 9wk pup. There was a big husky coming towards us abd he was about to run away. I just planted my flag and he immediately calmed down and just walked thr big fella walk past

I will definitely use this
