I give my dog scores out of 10 after giving him walks. Usually the scores would be between 2 and 7 but for the first time today he got a 10 for good behaviour. Watching your training has helped my dog and I heaps! Thanks so much as our walks are much more enjoyable . I’ll stick with it .

That adorable way he paddles his front feet whilst waiting for his treat! 🥰 love it!

You have no idea how much you have helped me with my dog. He had the exact same issue. I used your technique, and got instant results! Walkies are now exciting and fun again. Thank you!

@@willathertoncaninetraining It's the least I can do. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for sharing.

I keep the energy lower, and don't talk to the dog, but have been doing basically the same thing for 30 years. I can't tell you how many dogs I work with, that have been to numerous trainers. When I have them walking with another dog in a few minutes, the owners just stand there and cry. The dogs are easy, it's training the handlers that's hard ! There are many different methods. The way you tell if they work is the results, and that is a very good result. Well done.

As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzread.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

I found your "its not rocket science" comment so funny - I'm an aerospace engineer trying to train my own service dog. She has this issue ONLY on a leash and I think I understand rocket science better actually.

I want to see more of this with a nose focused dog, the distractions are constant with mine, not just when there is a dog or something else

That dog is super smart, and very beautiful too.

its funny how your voice gets all falsetto when your succesfull with the dog..LOL...happens to me too and my wife pokes fun at me for it.

Man, finally someone using a leash the right way! For all the haters out there: You're NOT hurting the dog if you do it this way!

Just wanted to let you know your videos allowed me (little to no training experience) to take a surrendered Norwegian Elkhound (aggression) and turn him into the biggest baby that's able to be walked by my 9 and 7yr olds

This is so great to hear! Well done for putting in the time and effort to help your do gee the best dog they can be, hope it continue to go well!

After watching six videos on Leash Reactivity, yours was the first to mention “relationships”. I believe there is SO much more to dog training than just commands and cues. Fundamentally, it begins with developing a healthy relationship with your dog, doesn’t it? I am currently wanting to adopt an Australian Cattle dog mix rescue with severe leash reaction to other dogs, squirrels, etc. I see so much good in this dog, but my wife is very fearful of the dog. The dog has redirected on a couple of the volunteer dog-walkers, so my wife is afraid of being bitten. Watching your video gives me even more faith that this rescue can be rehabilitated not only to my commands, but also with my wife also working with training, she too will be able to control and redirect him.

sooo, 6 months later, how is it going??

I absolutely loved the progress this beautiful collie makes in one session, and seeing it playing with Puppy. Will, you and Joe are brilliant 👏 !

This is giving me hope that I can walk my dog around other dogs and people in the future. Going to work on these skills with my cattle dog!

Incredible progress, in such a short time. Very smart dog as well.

Really fantastic to see the two happy dogs frolicking freely on the field at the end of the video! Great job!

This is just what I needed! Thank you once again for the great tips and training! This is all my akita needs!

Brilliant! What a buzz you must feel! An amazing reward for the trainer and pooch! I’m obsessed! 👍🏽

it's been 2 days of watching Will's videos and I feel like God's answered my prayers great coach for dogs and dog owners alike

Fabulous! You almost had me heeling there. Great video example of how leadership should work. Very helpful.

Will I have ordered your book so excited and thank you for giving us an opportunity to become amazing leaders to our dog

Simply fantastic! This dog was so asking for leadership and clarity! 👍

These videos are so helpful! They really show a step by step process with a dog like this which most other trainers dont show.

My frenchie currently has this exact issue with certain dogs he sees walking around but not all. Its amazing what you can do in such a short time.

I like the way you teach and talk without the lengthy preamble. Cheers from Texas.

Thank you so much for making an episode that goes in depth with reactivity. It’s something that I have been working with my dog on for a while. I’ve tried it once before but never seen this in-depth episode. Thanks to your loose leash walking episodes my dog does excellent. Can’t wait to try this!

Absolutely brilliant. There's hope for my shepherd Jack. I wasn't sure, but now I am. Thank you from Canada ! ❤🇨🇦❤

You videos like this are awesome, thank you! Reward the good behavior, not the bad. People seem to avoid the issue thinking it's going to go away. but it gives people and dog the perfect opportunity to fix and correct the issue. As you have demonstrated here.

I have a husky collie mix that looks and acts very much like this dog. Your instruction and explanation of how to handle these situations has been an absolute godsend in correcting the behavior. Thank you!!

Smooth coat border collie! 😍

These videos are incredibly helpful and impressive. Would love to also see videos of you working with the owners.

Thank you so much for this- I’ve been struggling and the change in leads made such a HUGE DIFFERENCE !! Thank you

When I praise my dog, my voice changes too. It is very effective as is evident in Will's videos. In these videos, it becomes evident that the dogs change in degrees when he gives repeated verbal reinforcement. Will changes his voice and says nice things to a dog that was initially stand offish. Love these videos ! Have learned a lot !

You’re an absolute legend. This was brilliant, bet the owners won’t believe their eyes :)

Your back and forth teaching has really helped my rescued 5 year old border collie! - 4 years never on a leash and never socialized, I have my work cut out for me. I have been taking for walks like this for 7 days in a row (2 sets of 45 minutes) and he is already showing a huge improvement. He is leash reactive with other dogs so this is my starting point to get him to focus on me opposed to dogs around us. He is very smart also

Amazing teaching video, Will. One of the BEST I’ve seen to teach fundamentals. You ROCK!

very impressive, thanks a lot for this eyample of friendly and consistent leadership!

Always awesome information love all your videos balanced dog training is the only way

This was so awesome and simple! My 1.5 year old beagle really gave me a tough time yesterday around other dogs and people. I knew there had to be a solution. Thank you! 🙏🏾

That's made me cry! To see a dog being shown how to relax and then be allowed to be completely dog is wonderful.

What a great video! The dogs are beautiful and Will your fantastic at what you do. I watch a lot of your videos and am subscribed to a few of the fenrir channels. I’m looking into getting an English bulldog and find that your videos are really educational and so easy to understand which I’m feeling confident for when I get my fur baby.

I so appreciate your videos. I’m struggling with a dog aggressive dog right now. I will definitely try this technique in the morning! ❤️🐕

Jack is such a beautiful dog. thanks for helping him and his owners that was amazing to watch

I have just adopted a rescue cane corso a month ago who so far has been a dream. She is so intelligent. The only issue I’ve had is her lunging at dogs when on lead. She is 10 months old and I don’t think she’s had any dog socialisation at all. I’ve got her to 7/10 times to “walk on” but those few times she doesn’t I’m sure that it’s something I’m doing wrong. I’ve had her in a paddock safe space playing with other dogs and she plays well with them so I know she’s not aggressive.

This really, really helps. You have probably the best balanced training methods I've seen thus far; positive only is unrealistic, but so many pro-aversive people are lazy and want instant results, when training is something that takes time, patience, and effort. Aversives should be last resort, which is reflective of how dogs behave towards one another when one pushes a boundary. Your training takes that into account, and when you have to discipline, you do it fairly. I respect you a lot more than many other trainers I've been watching of late. I'm hoping what I've gleaned from you will ultimately help my sometimes leash reactive dog (he's been attacked on leash a few times recently, and has also dealt with attacks at dog parks before I resolved to stop taking him to them). Definitely going to do my best to apply what you taught here.

Fabulous job. Smart training always pays off

Love the channel 👍 Amazing the work you do with the dogs. Miss my dogs to bits, one day I'll get another one. Keep the videos coming 👌

Great videos, and excellent audio quality for how mobile you are! Awesome content.

Very very nice. Consistency is indeed the key. Without it doggy gets confused. Doggy not like confusion. Doggy likes consistency! Safe, predictable, comforting consistency.

I used to watch your fantastic videos 2 years ago when I first got my Choc Lab puppy Bono. Yep, the reason I'm back is I haven't been keeping up with recall training like I know I should. He truly is a wonderful dog but since he hit 2 yrs (month ago) he has started showing aggression to other dogs. He hasn't bitten any dog, he sort of growls loudly and jumps up on them. He's a big unit so I understand this must be frightening to other dog owners. Up to last month all he did was play and be such a social dog. I'll try re-connecting and hopefully break the teenage thing. Thank you Will, your vids are brilliant.

Thanks so much for your training. It's so helpful

Great video Will. One of the best regarding reactive dogs that I have seen

I adore you and your teaching style. You are a blessing for me and my best friend - thank you!!!

Great commentary, great training. Thanks for the breakdown

Very good positive feed back with your training well done excellent work 💯 x

What I love about you is that despite your disdane for positive only training, you still use positive reinforcement whilst also making corrections when necessary. I have tried management only and positive only with my puppy, but I found that a good balance between the two is best. I use verbal corrections when my boy is doing something wrong, but only redirecting when the behaviour is fine, just misplaced. This seems to be working for me and I would have never found this balance without watching your videos so thank you a bunch! Through management styles, I have nipped puppy grooming and biting since I watched what a momma dog does, and she does verbal corrections, followed by very light physical corrections if not heeded. I do the same in that I say, ah ah ah, and if my pup doesn't heed the verbal correction, it is followed by being placed in a room by himself for 60 - 90 seconds. Did this about 3 times in the span of two days and now he knows that biting lightly is still not okay. Now for grooming me or my partner, he only licks or cuddles and it's been great. Once again, thank you for the videos, they truly are helpful.

Wow. This is amazing. I will be starting this immediately with my border collie/malamute blend.

The explanations in this video are just *chefs kiss* 👏👏👏👏👏

I really enjoy your channel. I think you ate great with these dogs. Thsnks for sharing.

You are remarkable. Thank you so much for such great advice.

I have a Visla/Lab cross. He's really bright. I have been using your processes. His recall, stay, heel is really coming on. He's now started getting aggressive towards other dogs, going to the end of his lead. This video is really useful and I will be using my slip lead next walk...

great advice! keep em coming, good boy!!! YEASSH!!!

What a transformation!!

So brilliant 😍

Thankyou Will you have given me something to work on. 👍

That was bloody brilliant…your booming voice helps too ❤️

love watching you work

That was unbelievable!!! Now I will take this and apply it with Theo.

Nicely done

Just love your energy you are so wonderful of a trainer

Fantastic Will 👍🏻

We got new puppy she 12 weeks now and you help has been amazing keep it up

I've been looking for help (after one useless trainer) for my somewhat bolshy, sometimes reactive (selectively) dog and THIS is game changing. I've had my girl in a harness because I believed slip leads were 'cruel' but I'm going to watch every video you have posted and start with the walking and using a slip lead for training and I now have hope!

Remember to take a deep breath and make sure you are calm, picture success. The handlers mindset is everything. Good luck. For anyone reading this, harnesses were designed to work with the dogs oppositional reflex for sled pulling. They can make pulling worse, some harnesses reduce the dogs ability to flex his front legs, Y shape chest straps are best if one must be used. Most importantly remember, even us dog trainers made mistakes in the early days, but we are all here trying to do our best for our dogs. So no shame is intended. Dog training is a journey. Will is one of the best trainers I've seen. He doesn't shame either. Good luck everyone 🙌🐶🙌

I love your channel. Thank you for the video❤

Recently got a little staffy puppy, he's almost 4 months now, was really good at the start but recently been ignoring us half the time and simply "acting out" with nipping and general naughty behaviour. Videos are really helping with teaching him some right techniques but without being able to mingle outside I'm worried if he's confused why he can't play with other dogs. Anyway, love the videos

Really good stuff! About to be a new rescue dog owner to an anxious dog, this really helps. Time and patience eh!

Your really helpful thank you.

Persistence is definitely key with the training. Also, not giving a teenage pup too much freedom too soon as it leaves them open to making negative decisions. My pup is almost 5 months old now, and she's a great quick learner, but she is definitely starting to test boundaries as she grows older and gains more confidence. Keeping up on physical activity is a must, but people often forget that mental stimulation is just as important, if not more so. Especially for working breeds, it's essential for them to work their mind or they go bonkers out of boredom and problems start to happen. Take it one day at a time.

Keep rolling Wonderful human !

Hi brilliant video and advice that really help me. My big issues is walking my dog next to busy roads she goes mental. She is fine in a field near a road and loves being in the car but hates walking along the road with cars

This video is extremely helpful! Would you be able to do or point me to a video showing not a role, model dog but a barking dog, and how you train your dog when faced with those situations? I feel like the dog you’re training is matching the energy of the role model dog. When we take walks, there are often dogs behind fences just barking their heads off, which instigates our dog. How do we deal with this? Thank you!!!

Good job 👍🏻
