    What do you do if your dog is not interested in treats? Not because they're stressed or anxious, but because being outside and walking is a lot more exciting than anything I can offer. Plus, I have a Siberian Husky, and they were bred to pull, so pulling I guess feels rewarding

    My one Dobe won't eat his lunch unless it's in his snuffle mat. Sara Ondrako has a video on how to make a snuffle mat with a pocket - great fundraiser for shelters too. I just do a double knot so the strips don't fall off in the wash. Please supervise your dog if you might think they might eat the mat. So pick up once they get all the treats out. Hope that helps

    This is why we look at Neuroscience when it comes to emotional needs. While he may be focused on the ball, he might be more tired and using the ball to relax himself. Instead, you're increasing dopamine when we he's trying to settle himself. Each time he gets the ball, he lays down. He's using his ball to increase the Parasympathetic Nervous System influence. He wants rest. Going you'll get the hint.

    This technique makes a lot of sense, but my dog is highly reactive to everything and very tenacious. The moment she sees a rabbit, squirrel, another dog or bird , etc., she lunges towards it to the end of the lead and will keep yanking and barking at it until her 'target' goes far enough away. If the target doesn't leave, she'll start coughing and choking because of the intense pulling and barking, and then I have to physically manipulate and drag her into the house so she'll calm down - all while trying to keep her from redirecting to me. Essentially every time she's outside - even just for a few minutes to do her business - there is a 'failure event' that just reinforces her reactivity. I've been doing some window training from inside the house, but even that has a high failure rate.

      I have an appx 1 year old Harriet and American English Coonhound mix. He was dumped at a local college. No luck on finding his owners so I got him fixed and I'm providing a loving home. He is a handful! I'm an older woman and this dog will pull me down if I'm not super careful. He is so strong!! He loves to run and his nose is always to the ground which is common for a hound dog. We have 3 acres fenced in but sometimes he needs to be on a leash (taking to the Vet etc.). I'm going to try this but if you have any other suggestions for a very strong bigger dog then I would be so Thankful.

    Cesar Milan....The Dog Whisperer teaches this method much quicker and easy to do. This is taking too long to correct. U have to use the lead the owners use in the dog shows...and as u notice those dogs never leave the owners side. He isn’t treating the behavior & he will keep pulling.

      Hi Jill thanks for sharing these thoughts, I am familiar with the techniques and leads you mention. In this video we wanted to highlight ways to teach that are minimally aversive and kind as possible for the dog and caregiver. Speed is important but we wanted to also focus on the experience for dog as a learner who has no choice as when they live with people we control most of their life.

    • @Sarahx040791
      @Sarahx040791 12 днів тому

      Chirag's method teaches the dog to want to stay with the owner rather than Cesar Milan's outdated method of forcing the dog to stay by his side because they daren't leave for fear of correction on the lead. It may take longer but it is inherently kinder.

    Thank you for how you framed having a friendly dog as an actual positive. Where I live there are many people and I don’t want to discourage him but not every person has had a positive experience with dogs in their past. I usually just tell him he can say hello or leave it and just tell the person to please only pet him (reward) when he has four on the floor. Not everyone listens but enough that he is learning the rules.

    I have a 3 year old border collie. We´re out and about 5 hours a day, sometimes 6 during the weekends. I´m in the process of teaching him that when the harness is on, he gets to pull. I normally will be power walking with him or running so it does me no harm whatsoever. When I clip the leash onto his collar it´s different. He knows we´re are going for a well paced walk (increasing your pace can help greatly when training to walk to heel depending on the breed you have). It´s not natural for a border collie to walk slowly like a human, and so upping the tempo to something more akin to him walking fast makes a lot more sense. He´ll walk much closer to me this way, not perfectly but if I can get him to 90% then mission accomplished. It´s meant to be the joy of the day, not chore of the day as they say. I only go for walks with him after he´s been running around, burning off some of his insane levels energy. The calmer he is, the easier he is to train

    Cheerful little ears, Hello everyone, I've been putting your tips into practice for a few days now and am amazed at how much has changed since then. I have two Galgos from the animal shelter who often get stressed in an urban environment. I have always been advised to give them guidance and to structure their walks. They should walk "properly" on the lead and I shouldn't constantly give way when they want to lead the way. Unfortunately, this meant that not only the dogs were stressed, but also me. Since your video, our "laps" now look completely different. We stroll more and I let the dogs sniff, I wait until they look at me again, reward them and they stroll on. This way we cover less distance, but gain more experience. All three of us are less stressed and the dogs seem happier, their little ears bobbing happily instead of sticking to their heads. I'm now trying to approach everything more slowly and carefully and pay more attention to their signals, which is a good feeling! THANK YOU for your helpful and inspiring videos.

    I think some of these techniques will help me work with my GSD Murphy to improve how he is on the lead. He's 31kg & pulls hard, so we use a slip collar with a lead to walk him & it gives us the ability to handle him better. I've found that purely positive reinforcement doesn't work for us with Murphy because he does some things that require correction, he has made drastic improvements in just a few weeks with use of clearer communication, giving him more guidance on the lead via the slip collar & building a foundational relationship through play. However, I will be taking some bits of your advice to add to our training, so thank you. I'm glad that positive reinforcement only training works for some, but with our big boy, it just wasn't getting what we needed to help us & him be more confident & less stressed. A balanced approach, with positive punishment alongside positive reinforcement, has changed our lives & we now have a calmer, happier, less frustrated & reactive GSD 😊

      I have a black mouth cur we just adopted and at 1 year and 55 lbs, a flat collar or halter wasn’t an option because he could literally just pull until we went where he wanted. We use a figure 8 which is a nose lead and slip in one. We live in a busy area and until he got comfortable we didn’t want to put him at risk for running into traffic or risk someone freaking out. He is now doing much better to the point where he rarely even pulls, so we will walk him with the slip in unfamiliar areas or first thing in the morning but will use his flat collar for later work and training. We went from him nearly pulling us off of our feet to politely walking next to us (unless a lizard crosses his path😂) and he understands that he gets more by staying with us than running off wherever his nose leads. Sometimes, if you didn’t have the luxury of working with a tiny puppy or if you are combatting some behaviors later in life, corrections, issued kindly, are essential.

    Dr Uhde from Belgium or Brussels has a great video on how harnesses are better as far as the healing T-cells being in the neck area. Plus most people don't use a slip lead correctly, let alone put it on correctly anyway. Will fwd this to my students - thank you so much! Hope that helps.

      @@ThePyrshepnBelgn are you talking harnesses? Usually back clipping harnesses do tend to encourage pulling. It can be done, just takes a bit longer than a front correcting harness. Nigel Reed has a video on getting dogs with back clipping harnesses to not pull. My Beagle/JRT mix has a collapsing trachea so we use a back clipping harness, but she stays beside me on a loose leash. I do use a front clipping harness (DiDog padded belts with just a girth strap) for my 100lb Dobes - 2 fingers in the loop - works like a charm. Victoria Stilwell has videos of using harnesses on big dogs and she's only 110lbs. Some of the dogs are 150lbs. Hope that helps.

      Hey Chiraq they are great tips and visuals! I love your little terms ie, reading the newspaper! I say pee mail myself😂. As a trainer I find the biggest challenge is teaching the human to BE Patient with their young dogs learning this. I’ve followed you a bit over the years and enjoy learning from you and getting that support that I’m also teaching folks the right way. Thanks from Chicago Illinois USA😍😎🐾

    Thank you for this lesson. I was told not to use a collar on a Chihuahua but all the training videos have dogs with collars. This is the first I've seen where the trainer teaches the dog to walk using a harness. Do you have any tips on how to get my Chihuahua to stop eating things off the ground while on a walk? She wants to eat the palm tree nuts from the sidewalk.

      I had a lab you loved “seefood”. Everything she saw was food. We taught her “leave it” by using a food she liked, putting it in front of her and then waiting a few seconds, as long as she was able, or until she checked in with us, before telling her she could have it. We extended the time a little bit each time. Eventually, we could go on walks and she would leave it behind. We taught her chi mix brother the same to the point where he entirely looks away from the item😂. “Out” is also important. We taught that to our 1 year old puppy by playing tug, rewarding when he released and then giving it back. He is luckily food, toy and praise motivated but it would be easy enough to do with any of the rewards. Someone left chicken bones right on the corner where we walk. He picked up the napkin and I was able to disengage his puppy brain long enough for him to focus on me, spit it out quickly without me having to wrestle him and I was able to reward him. He doesn’t even really worry food on the ground anymore but a chi will probably give you a bit more attitude before they listen.
