I have been watching this video on repeat. There are so many subtlies in dog training which i love.. Working on this and maybe, just maybe, Ned and I will get past level 3 withiout him being a zamboni cleaning up the floor.

Great video! I love watching regular owners learn even more than watching a professional showing perfect performance. Makes me think I can do it too!

Every time I watch one of your videos I come away with useful little tidbits. Thank you so much, keep up the good work….

Love those edits - air treat, I can't find my cheese 😆 Really informative, thank you!

I love these videos, they are so useful especially for new dog owners. 😊

Great video! Good advice delivered in a clear concise way.

Our Grand puppy is a Pit bull Dalmatian Cross. She will be a year old in July. She is a beautiful, smart dog. But I’m so glad that this video came across my feed!!! It has affirmed some things I’m doing right and pointing out what I’m doing wrong. Thank you for the information. I’ll be putting it to good use!!!!

Love all of your videos! So helpful! You are a great trainer!

Walk walk! Loved this video!!!

Walk walk! We are getting a puppy in a month. Your videos have taught us so much. Can’t wait to put our new found knowledge into practice.

Walk walk, this is great info.

I think y'all are the best dog trainers on the internet. I would love it if you would do a video about leash management and getting a dog to stay at your side for someone who uses a wheelchair or power scooter.

Must be nice to have a dog that is food/treat motivated!

@@HazeyEy3s Can u help me? My dog acts aggressive towards people when it seems inappropriate. Like in the house, between family members. He mostly seems to protect me, so whenever anyone in the family is talking to me? He stands between us and barks loudly. But he also protects my teen daughter. If I'm standing near her or talking to her, he takes the protective stance in front of her (and interrupts with intermittent loud barks) So here's my question, is there something safe and natural that I can give my dog to make him more calm? Alleviate anxiety and make him more relaxed? He is extremely large and tall (120 lbs) German Shepard/Mastiff. I'm a very small female only 125 lbs. I cant control him at all on a leash. Even when a man is walking him? its an intense struggle to keep him from pursuing other dogs and people that he sees. Its seems like he just wants to play with other dogs (but im not 100% sure he won't fight if provoked) and he shows real growling and aggression towards people. I had to heavily sedate and muzzle him just to get him to walk into the vets office for his neutering at 18 months old. Then, they had to knock him cold to take him away for surgery bc he is so terrifying and strong. He is really a good dog in the sense that he is compliant to commands in a calm setting. He will go into his kennel on command. He respects small gates/boundaries that are set up in the house (even though he can easily scale them). He co-exists with small dogs and cats. But he is over protective to a fault, becomes wildly protective and out of control. I want to be able to take my large dog for walks and the parks and places I go, but I can't control him. I want my family to feel comfortable around him and be able to have guests in my house without worrying he will bite them. I wont get rid of this dog. I love him so much. He's 3 yrs old. Unless he bites someone in my family? I can't see myself getting rid of him. But I would love to give him a better quality of life by taking him out for adventures and socialization without worry that he will bite someone. ALSO, sidenote: I've never ever felt safer in my own home before. Nobody lingers near my yard or my door. Nobody is going to enter my yard or my house. He is very smart and dedicated in his duty to protect. He never barks excessively. If he's barking? Its bc someone or something is near our property. He assesses threat level and alerts with a certain bark, I call it his "serious bark" when there is actually a person near the house or the yard.

My puppy has been doing great with the beginning of our walks. But as soon as we head home, she begins pulling. Even at the park, she is so smart - she pulls when we near the car. 😅 and when cars pass she will sit and wait, which seems better than lounging at the car but makes the walk experience a struggle.

Prong collar?

So used to walking my dogs on the right because a few of mine have been therapy dogs so we walk them on our right because walls and sidewalks are ….hard to explain but it keeps them from ppl when we need them to be. So will try these steps with some tweaking.

Walk walk. Same issue with my two year old lab. He's with me, but he just likes to be in front. When I stop 9 out od 10 times he stops and hustles back to my side. I usually change direction when he pulls. The pulling is getting old though.

Wok wok!

I walk two labs, they are awesome as long as I have treats in my hand, the moment I don’t, they pull. I’m guessing I need to work them both separately for this exercise. We go on “sniffy” walks and “walk walks”.

I have a toy poodle, 8 inch’s tall. I can’t get down to her for a treat and walk. I’m also almost 67.

I have a small dog, Pomsky, and am using a halter rather than a collar. Are there any adjustments to these lessons that I need to make?

@Sam-qt5ff

24 күн бұрын

A halter like a harness? Ones that go around their body encourage pulling. They were originally made for sled dogs to pull the sleds comfortably. Need to use a flat collar. Dogs will keep pulling on harnesses. No dog trainer worth their salt recommends harnesses or halters. If you mean a halti, still not a great choice in my opinion. The pops could hurt the dogs neck from twisting.

Walk the dog when they’re hungry. Make the first meal of the day a walk to earn their breakfast. Put their kibble in a treat pouch instead of treats. If they’re hungry they’ll be motivated.

@meerespelikan

Ай бұрын

Maybe better food or a toy? A lot of time is about engagement. Setters are great dogs for sniffing games/training. If we are boring (according to the dog), they find interesting things somewhere else. Depending on what your ideal walk looks like, you need more/different communication with your dog. Trained dogs don’t have to focus on us all the time (because they’re still aware enough for when you can recall them) but at 8 months old, it’s still all about building a relationship, so that they basically need to "store" you as more important than anything else.

My problem is my dog is a ball obsessed Border collie crossbreed who isn't pulling because he is distracted by something in sight but by any place anywhere where we ever played with the ball. He knows each place within half an hour walk in whatever direction we walk. So, lets say I start walking North..he knows a place he played in the north and that is what he is pulling towards, even if it is say a 20 minutes walk away.I don't understand how to use a "leave it" on that?

@UnknownPr0digy

Ай бұрын

If your dog is trying to go another direction, walk that way, make sure there is a little slack in it and right before leash extends bust a u turn and keep walking do not look back or let him pull, it teaches him/her to focus on you cause they see "hey this guy is going the other direction, I gotta pay attention to them." (If you are worried about hurting their neck, don't be, use common sense behind it) and if you use a harness even better cause no stressing about hurting puppys neck

Get a prong collar. They work great when used properly and it doesn’t hurt them. Sounds like he just pulls on walks in general. If you drove a half hour and hopped out of the car and randomly walked around I’d bet he’d still pull. And if he isn’t maybe it’s because he’s sniffing. Once the sniffs are old sniffs it’s not as exciting and they don’t stop as much or as slow.

Walk walk. Need more help with the pop and closeups of leash holding

I see a human that holds the leash so short and tight so the dog has no choice but to pull. Also, allowing the dog to go forward and following behind on a tight leash, teaching the dog that a tight leash is the desired thing. Begin at the beginning, before attempting to walk anywhere. Teach the dog where you want him to be. Pay him well for being there. Show him how to get back to that spot. I think people expect to be able to walk their dog all over, with distractions and triggers without working on foundations first. It is so important to teach what we want. You can’t correct if the dog doesn’t understand the behaviors we want.

Walk walk still here...

You didn't really address the part about how to differentiate between different walks? For example, now you can sniff, to now we walk and you don't stop or sniff (as much)

I use a harness and long leash (20 or 50 ft depending on where we are) for a sniffy walk. I use a regular 6ft leash and a martingale collar for my working or structured walks. I'm hoping the different hardware clues my pup in, but it's hard to know for sure.

We call the sniff walk a 'sniffari'.

What if my dog isn't motivated by food? He doesn't ever want treats.
