Is it counter intuitive to walk my dog on a flat collar in more of a “throw away” mode, while I’m training heel separately? Should this be the only “walk” we do until we’ve progressed to actually walking down the road?

I have been doing this with my dog for about a year and she gets everything while I’m training her but doesn’t seem to remember anything by the next day It’s crazy and I’m about to just give up. I’ve also spent hundreds of dollars on her training. By the way, she’s a 80 lb lab.

Just discovered your channel and it's truly awesome. It also gave me some hope in a moment where training my dog has become quite disheartening. He's a beautiful and sweet 4yo English Setter who I adopted 9 month ago after he was abandoned by a hunter (here in Italy this happens a lot with these breeds - hunters often abandon hounds who are not "good enough"). Knowing how reactive these dogs are, I started working on my recall with him from day one and I have reached the point where I can say his recall his very good in moments of medium/low stimulation. However, he's got such a strong prey drive and such high reactivity that in certain circumstances it feels like he's not even aware I'm there with him. If he smells water nearby there's no way stopping him from running towards it, or if he smells an animal in a nearby bush, there's no way recalling him for the next 2/3 mins. This is very sad to me because I love going on long walks in nature with him and see him explore the world around him, but I also want to make sure he's safe and that I can control him should the situation require that. I'll definitely try the long lead technique, especially when it comes to his drive to run towards water. Keep up the good work Ben, really appreciate your energy and the knowledge you bring to the table!

Ben, any chance of a video on how to deal with walks when your Dog stops and won’t move ? My Rescue lab cross has never been a lead puller, but is going through a phase of stopping. I think it’s due to him now feeling more relaxed and wanting to explore more but I’m only guessing at that. Also, if you don’t mind, what makes your treat pouch ? Cheers
@balanceddoguk12 күн бұрын
@@SiRhodesDriverTraining hey! So if I ever get a dog that does that I’ll definitely remember to film it! But just so you know what I would do for next time it happens. So I would have made sure to teach the dog to follow lead pressure. Meaning that I have done hundreds of reps of putting pressure on in the opposite direction to where they are going and immediately rewarding them for following pressure in my direction. Then when they decide to dig in I’m pulling pressure forward, keep the lead parallel to the ground so it is pressuring forward and not upward, encourage them to come verbally and reward heavily when they do. Then I’m trying to keep it moving and if they dig in you should be able to pop them out oof it really fast next time. Here’s a link to the treat pouch: amzn.to/3Y5xVvO

Love your vibes in your channel. you sure gave me some great advice already ! Would like to know what you would do with a young bordercollie that is super focussed on cars. specially the ones that comes towards us. Or birds in a field. If she sees those and incoming cars my BC lost all focus on me. Can even stand in front of her like right in her face, she wont even look up to me for one second. The moment the birds/cars are gone, she's snaps out of it and looks up again. Love her and love training her. just that is a super struggle still and dont know how to improve that as well as her AND me. Anyway, thanks for putting your vidoes here man !!!
@balanceddogukАй бұрын
Thank you! When I next have a dog in that does this type of behaviour I will make a video about it. But for now I would first focus on the heel and the engagement making sure it is as close to 10/10 I could get it when there was no distraction. Once you have this as a baseline you can then use ur lead to interrupt the behaviour as soon as she goes to fixate on the trigger. You will likely need to be firm on the lead to break focus and regain attention. You may want to use a different collar and lead setup and I would recommend trying to find a trainer to help you in person with this one. It requires a good understanding of the dogs specific behaviour, good timing and skill on the lead to overcome this type of thing so definitely see if you can get some help from a trainer.

Use the long line to interrupt that behaviour until you see it decrease or disappear entirely. Not having the line on leaves too much up too chance as you may think your clear of dogs until one comes out of nowhere and your dogs off, rehearsing that unwanted behaviour 🤦♂️

You are so right!!!
Lots of cat's and foxes out at night.
thank you for making this video! I've found all the different options for tools to be overwhelming. I've had many people recommend gentle leaders/halti's, but I think I must keep drilling the basics you mentioned to do with leash pressure regardless of the tool.
Absolutely this 🫶❤️
I have a rescue dog who is so scared of lorries or buses, or passing work sites with industrial machine noises, she will just sit down on the pavement and not move! She won't take treats to get her to move... How do I get her to move!!
Love your vibes in your channel. you sure gave me some great advice already ! Would like to know what you would do with a young bordercollie that is super focussed on cars. specially the ones that comes towards us. Or birds in a field. If she sees those and incoming cars my BC lost all focus on me. Can even stand in front of her like right in her face, she wont even look up to me for one second. The moment the birds/cars are gone, she's snaps out of it and looks up again. Love her and love training her. just that is a super struggle still and dont know how to improve that as well as her AND me. Anyway, thanks for putting your vidoes here man !!!
Thank you! When I next have a dog in that does this type of behaviour I will make a video about it. But for now I would first focus on the heel and the engagement making sure it is as close to 10/10 I could get it when there was no distraction. Once you have this as a baseline you can then use ur lead to interrupt the behaviour as soon as she goes to fixate on the trigger. You will likely need to be firm on the lead to break focus and regain attention. You may want to use a different collar and lead setup and I would recommend trying to find a trainer to help you in person with this one. It requires a good understanding of the dogs specific behaviour, good timing and skill on the lead to overcome this type of thing so definitely see if you can get some help from a trainer.
@@balanceddoguk Cheers ! It has been a while I've been to my trainer, but now with that behabiour I think I'll have too. Altho I've got over 50% of the training with her focussed on that part the last 10 days I do see some improvement with it, I guess it shoud as I try to give her about 3 hours of walk/train/play a day right ? :) but not gonne lie this is a hard nut to crack. specially as my garden is small and I do live in a pretty bussy place. and the closest " chill " place is a little walk of 2 min. and, in that "chill" place I feel i do got a 6.5 - 7/10 with distractions on a "ok" distance. Anyway. I'll just keep training. Matter off fact. I'll never stop training her \o/
My dogs recall is solid when no other dogs are about I can have him off lead it’s just when there’s dogs around he will run over there ?
I know the feeling :) My dog is 14 months now and she does come back to me if the other dog is still like 30 meters away. one step closer and she goes nuts and wants to play. I'm trying hard to keep her on heel when we pass. its a 50/50 if she will stay calm or goes "nuts"
Use the long line to interrupt that behaviour until you see it decrease or disappear entirely. Not having the line on leaves too much up too chance as you may think your clear of dogs until one comes out of nowhere and your dogs off, rehearsing that unwanted behaviour 🤦♂️
