I rescued a 2 year old cane corso mix, while he's genuinely a good dog his lead walking wasn't too good. 2 of your videos and a few walks later he's walking short lead at my side ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart
We love stories like this. Thank you for taking in a rescue and giving the dog a better life. Did you learn this from "The Perfect Walk", or from these UA-cam videos?
@@KSECMPUNK Go to the DIYK9.com site and you'll be greeted with a free 4-hour course. When you're done you'll know more than probably 98% of everybody else that owns dogs. All it costs in a few hours of your time. At the top of the page under "Dog training courses" there are courses and memberships. A couple of them give you instant access to "The Perfect Walk" course. What you see in these videos is a small snippet of what is in the full course. I went through the course about 2 years ago and it was 5 hours long. More videos have been added so I'm not sure what the duration is now, but it covers so much more than you can imagine to just have your dog walk next to you on a walk. Did you get a Herm Sprenger collar? Literally everything else is junk. They are really "barely" more expensive than the crap in pet stores so I honestly do not know why pet stores do not just sell the high quality collars. Well, I do, they are more concerned with profit than the best tools for your dog. An off topic gripe. We have a bearded dragon and they live in desert climates which have low humidity. They do not drink water often and typically get what they need from food and insects. Yet someone that has no idea about bearded dragons complained because there wasn't water in the tanks for them and they said it was cruel. So, they put in water tanks, although as pet store owners they should know that putting water in a heated tank is going to cause evaporation and higher humidity than what bearded dragons should be living in, and it drastically increases the chance of the animal contracting a respiratory issue. Your new baby bearded dragon could come home with you and die because they cared more about making the sale and shutting up an ignorant Karen than actually doing what is best for the animals in their care. Sorry for the rant, but there's a ton of crap sold in linktr.ee/AmericanStandardK9pet stores that are not always safe or healthy for your pets. That's why I always point people the text below the video (linktr.ee/AmericanStandardK9). Everything in the list has been used by Garret long enough for him to consider it a quality product. You won't find any prong collars there besides Herm Sprenger because the rest are trash. HS is what they use professionally on Police K9's. If you have any questions, reach out to info@DIYK9.com for more information.
This looks like something I should try I got a 4 month old working line German Shepherd. Have mostly been working with changing direction and a clicker when he is doing right. I get small improvements My thought is often if I have a relestic expectation on what he should be able to do at this age it my first dog so it a question I have to ask my self often.
I can't believe I just did this and it fixed my problem. I just didn't use any food, just waited a few seconds after the pull and turn when I didn't want my dog to be paying attention to something, looking straight ahead and said "good". Several times during his 1 hour walk. It did wonders. My rotator (rott-lab mix) was SO HAPPY he came home just thrilled to keep playing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
@@AmericanStandardK9 what about if you are walking your dog casually and you want to let it sniff what is near. Does this 80/20 attention still is ok?
@@mauroj.bonazzi4440 One thing a lot of people fail to realize is that it is YOUR walk, and you allow your dog to go with you on your walk. You train your dog when they need to heel next to you on the walk. When you decide the dog has behaved well on the walk and you find a place that is suitable and "free" the dog as a reward for walking correctly. Then they are allowed to roam free at the length of the leash, but not dragging you along with any real pressure. I allow my dog to pull enough that my arm picks up a little, but I don't need to adjust my stance due to pulling. I typically allow my dog to guide me along wherever she feels she wants to go until I hit a boundary I don't want to cross, such as going down a street I may not want to, crossing someone's property line, etc. When the dog is free, they are still required to behave with manners while I allow them to go pee/poop, smell the flowers, whatever you feel is acceptable. When I am ready to resume the walk, I give Echo a very gentle tug, not even a pop, and that's her cue to come back into heel position and resume her job walking next to me and being engaged with me. Then she is heeling until I free her again. Sometimes she will be roaming free, and she'll turn and randomly find herself next to me and assume she's walking in heel again and I have to remind her that she's still free, and she'll start roaming around within what I find acceptable behavior. The dog just gets used to being in place and it stays there. My daughter was walking Echo recently and as most young teenagers, she was glued to her phone. About 200 yards down the street my daughter turns to go around a car at the last instant, and Echo goes around the car the other way. That's when my daughter noticed the leash, she was holding in her hand wasn't connected to Echo's collar, but she stayed in heel position anyway. She just started laughing and attached the leash. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max so when I need to type on my phone on a walk, I just put the leash down and allow Echo to drag the leash while I type or whatever requires 2 hands, then pick the leash back up. I've done this for a couple minutes at a time on multiple walks. If you get the advanced course "Unleashed, 5-steps to e-collar mastery", you'll be able to walk your dog 100% off leash while wearing an e-collar and have an "empowered" voice. Once your dog knows a command rock solid and in multiple ways, you can train the dog on the e-collar, including taking your dog on a walk while off leash, but wearing an e-collar. The e-collar becomes the digital leash that Check out the free 4-hour course at DIYK9.com. It covers a lot of information to educate you on different styles of training, pro's and cons of each, how to find a good trainer, how to become an owner-trainer, which is what you see in this video on a basic level. This is an example of the basic steps to train YOU to train your dog to walk with manners on a loose leash, or, "the perfect walk" which is the name of the associated course. Just by watching this free 4-hour course, you'll know more about dogs and dog training than 99% of dog owners.

@@mauroj.bonazzi4440 I'm one of Garret's moderators. First, go to DIYK9.com and you'll have access to 4 hours of free dog training content, with a few quizzes along the way to make sure you understand what Garret is teaching you. He covers the types of dog training such as positive only, compulsion, and what he teaches which is a balanced method that combines the best of both styles. He covers the pros and cons of hiring a trainer and how to find a good one, the cost, and then covers the options for being an owner-trainer which is through his courses. I've had 100% access to 100% of his content and it works. The failure is almost always on the side of the human, be it limited time to train or not understanding the material. If the latter is the case, there are weekly and monthly training and Q&A sessions depending on your membership. Sorry, I digress, but the free course will leave you with more knowledge than probably 98% of people that own dogs. To your question - Your dog doesn't have to be at 80/20 for 100% of the walk. Literally take time to stop and smell the roses. If the dog is walking in a manner you find acceptable, find an spot along the walk and allow the dog to relieve itself, sniff around, wonder around as much as you feel like allowing. Just while the dog is "free", you still want to maintain a certain level of manners, meaning you don't want the dog to revert to old habits and drag you down the road. You'd correct that obviously. If the dog is pulling gently, maybe enough to raise your arm a little, but not enough to make you change your stance from being pulled, that's about what I allow my dog. She goes to the end of the leash without crossing the line to where she is pulling me. As long as she's not pulling me, I'll follow her and allow her to do her favorite thing, be a slave to her nose. Once I'm ready to continue the walk, I give her a verbal command and she's back in position and on task until I want to free her again. I usually walk my dog at night because it's cooler, and that's when I have more free time. Echo is half Siberian Husky, and half Treeing Walker Coonhound. Both are very high drive breeds, and Echo would love to run and hunt all day long. Nothing makes her happier. We'll frequently see rabbits in people's yards as we walk. I can tell as soon as she spots one, but she keeps next to me on the walk. I'll usually stop and silently ask for a sit by using leash pressure. Please, check out the leash pressure course. She can be focused on the rabbit, yet I can give feather light leash pressure and she'll immediately sit without even thinking twice, no matter the distraction. Rabbits, deer, other dogs. After the distraction has left and Echo has maintained a good sit, I'll free her and allow her to scent track whatever it was until we reach a property line or something we can't cross, then I put her back on task and we continue the walk. If you have any questions reach out to info@diyk9.com and the customer service team is amazing and always ready to help.
Trained my 3.5 month old Doberman this way after a solid prong introduction. He figured it out half way through the first walk with no U turns. Now he's 4 months and I can walk him barely holding the leash with a stop auto heel every time. Thank you!
Cheers from England. Boarding a big male 5 year old Dogue de Bordeaux for 15 nights soon. I'm determined to have him walking perfect before he goes home. I'll report back.
Go to DIYK9.com and you'll start with a free 4-hour course. At the top bar, go to "dog training courses" and memberships or courses, and get started early. When I first took the course in November 2022 it was right at 5 hours long. As Garret finds any gaps either from videoing new dogs or people asking questions, he will add new content to expand the course. I've not checked, but it's grown some since I originally went through. Watch the videos and take notes, especially of the key terms. This will give you time to get the proper equipment if you do not already have it. Check the text below the video above and there is an Amazon affiliate link with everything Garret has used and he has found to be quality equipment. I don't know if prong collars are allowed in England, but if not, you can still train a dog using a flat martingale style collar. This one course will take your dog from making you look like you have no clue about dogs to people complimenting you on just how well behaved your dog is, just from this one course. I have access to 100% of Garret's courses, and it still strikes me as funny how little knowledge people have of dogs that just with a 5-10 minute training session, they think your dog is so well trained. Imagine what they would say if you went through 100% of the courses you need. I say that because you may not need the puppy courses, and you may not be able to use the Unleashed course, although that is the last step to having an extremely well trained dog.
He's an amazing trainer for sure. His online courses train you to be an owner-trainer for your own dog at DIYK9.com. Go there and you'll get 4 hours of free course content that will give you more dog training education that was probably 99% of the world has.
I'm always happy to watch another perfect walk video! They're so insightful. And, more than anything, they work! Had to dogsit once for a friend, an AmStaff pitbull. I hand't "taken care of" a dog since my teen years. First night and noon, I let the dog pull all it wanted- I wanted to get to know it better and it to know me better. Then decided I was done with the pulling. Came across your video for loose-leash walking. Next walk, great improvement already. I just had to keep it up for all our other walks, and the dog would only pull when seeing other dogs, but that was already 100% better than when we started. I only had the dog for 5 days, but between your method, and Joel's "door method", the owner of the dog said I must've done something, because the walks with the dog became smoother, as if they had a different dog. You've got the real deal right here!
Awesome! Love that feedback. Any of you can go to DIYK9.com and get 4 free hours of course material to help guide any future plans. If nothing else, just knowing what is possible and where to go will be knowledge in the bank for future training.
And to think garret and his team post this information for us to educate ourselves for FREE! Thank you sir and everything you do for dogs and their owners world wide. 🍻
Your free course alone has given me enough knowledge to tighten up everything my pit bull already knows in one day. Plus teaching him a new thing today. Now it’s time to keep going. I don’t have the money to buy the full package at the moment with life but I promise you in 4-6 months I’ll be VIP. This guy is that good
We love that! Appreciate the comment and keep up the awesome work! Also, be sure you're signed up for the DIYK9.com newsletter so you'll be first to know about upcoming sales and promotions :)
Rescued a wonderful pit bull from the shelter. She's two, high energy and willing to please. Going to start working with her for better walks and not the constant pulling. At 70 she gets to be too much. I give her a lot of energy release in the fenced yard throughout the day, and try to stimulate her mind with frisbee, ball catching, and playing with my other two dogs. I am going to work with her and me so we can both enjoy our walks.
From Cincinnati, OH. I'm screaming THANK YOU! All these other videos I see online is "just go the other direction every time they pull" and ONLY changing directions was not working with my 8month old 80+ lb GSD mix. Prong collars sadly have this horrible rep but they work if you're working with them correctly!! AND anyone sees this and you're one of those people that call them choke collars... just stop. Please. Stop it.
Amazing Video. We have a 7 month old Shepsky (Shepard/Husky) who would take US on walks. Constantly pulling. it was NOT fun. I hated walking him. Picked up a prong collar, tried it today and within 20 seconds the dog was WATCHING me. It took a few tugs as you said but he would watch me like a HAWK. He did so well after our walk around the neighborhood I took him for a walk in a local park and at one point I didn't even have to hold the leash. He was just watching my every move. SOOOOO much more fun to take for walks. Thank you!
Hello from the UK. Enjoying the content, I'm adopting a young Husky x Belgian Malinois next week, looking forward to using this technique as I know she is still a puller on a leash.
This was amazing. We rescued a Beagle/Pitt mix and while on vacation he was pulling so bad and watched this and drove to the pet store and changed our harness to prong collar and omg we are so happy with only 20 minutes and now it’s night and day.
Great video, i was once the stubborn husband who didnt listen to my vet tech wife 😅 but she showed me your videos/channel...safe to say i will always listen to you both from now on. 😂🙏🏽 Great video mate! Keep it up!!
I always enjoy seeing videos with Thor! I, too, have a rottie named Thor (see profile pic), and he’s six yrs old. Rotties r so intelligent, and puppy Thor was definitely catching on quickly!
I have not done much treat training but more with a praise reward. This method works really well that way as well. Worked on my Weimaraner very well with just a martingale and it's working very well with my Bloodhound x Cane Corso 50/50.
We have a 2 years old Cane Corso that's barely 50kg even though his parents weighed 72kg and 82kg. He was pulling really badly! My father and I were the only ones able to walk him due to this problem. On our vacation to the USA from Canada we bought a herm sprenger prong collar and started to use your methods to stop him from pulling. We are now all able to walk him which is something great but still a lot of things to resolve with him
I just got back from a walk I didn't think was possible with my 6 month old Brittany Spaniel. She was choking herself out on the flat collar and the corrections weren't working or weren't hard enough. Her neck went through so much stress during those walks and I didn't want to overdo it. Other YT trainers said don't walk until they are "ready". This just ended up in me not walking her at all for a while and I was super discouraged, thinking I'll need to get pro training in order to walk her. Today, the prong collar arrived. That along with your tips has changed both our lives in literally 5 mins of walking. Thanks! 🙏😀
Awesome feedback! Go to DIYK9.com for a free 4-hour course and if you want to see the full "The Perfect Walk' course, it has so much more than these YT videos. When I first saw the course about 22 months ago it was 5 hours long. It's grown since then and there's so much more there than what you see in these short YT videos. Tons of tips and tricks to do this better, how to fix things that are not quite what you want, information on leashes, collars, harnesses, etc. The pro's and con's of each. There are a lot of things you'll encounter on a walk that the course tells you how to deal with. You'd have access to a member only FB group where you can ask questions. The moderators and group experts will be happy t assist, as well as customers that have the member only access too. If the question isn't something that can be answered, or is just such a great question, it will be passed on to Garret to address in his weekly or monthly live training or Q&A sessions.
That is one great dog, tired, thinking, that respects you and looking to get paid. Great balanced techniques and training! Took years (and prongs) with our Australian Shepherds. They are leash less heal now using your technique consistently.
Tried this with my 3 year old Heeler/Black Mouthed Cur mix and I’ve seen so much improvement just in a couple minutes of training. He has always been okay with walks but I want him to be his best so I’m excited to see his progress. Thank you👍🏼
So, I just took my 3 year old GS on a walk, using this technique, and Lord knows, this may have been the best walk since I have had him... Thank you. It had gotten to the point where I just did not want to take him on walks because of all of the tugging. I am all of 5ft, and have had ppl ask me if I was ok, while being tugged around like a rag doll. Thank you bunches for your expertise!!!
My 6 month old lab has been having training with Gundog trainer and have been told to put tension on the lead and to stop to stop him pulling but not working for me. He is so distracted by anything whilst out and nose always on the ground. Im going to try your method as Im at my witts end, fingers crossed it works. Im in UK xx
I love this! When do you stop rewarding the puppy though? I found that when I do this for too long with other tasks, my pup is learning to only “sit, stay, etc” properly when there is a treat.
It depends how old they are and how well there trained but when they get the hang of one treat per trick u move up to your dog only gets a treat when he listens to u through multiple commands so try come here then sit then heel after he does all three you give him a treat and slowly keep adding more and eventually he’ll listen to everything you say weather you have a treat or not
I ordered a Prong color tonight ready to train this pully dog of mine. I'm in the process of adopting her, currently im fostering her until she is cured. She is in heartworm treatment but she still pull the he'll out of me on our bathroom park walks. Thanks for this.
This is great. My lil guy is 11wks gsd. He is great at a natural heel. So far i've not used food but had to do some 180° direction changes when he would be apt to get ahead. The one thing we're working on is the 90° direction change. He heels on the left, so going right isn't too bad but going left still steps through him the first step or two. Consistency seems to be key, and given his age, small doses.
I have a 30kg boxer /english setter, ive been trying to do this awhile now, hes my first dog and ive basically been figuring things out as i go along, but im stuck on the pulling and now i am relaly looki g forword to doing now . Really great video
Hi i love your video and I’m learning so much from you. I have a question. Id like to get prong collar for my 6 months old Bernese but she is still growing and now she is 54 lbs. Which size do you recommend? I’m currently living in Japan and shipping will take a while to get here so I’m debating getting between 2.25 or 3.0 for her.
We recommend the 2.25 but get extra links so you can make it larger as she grows. Actually it would probably be cheaper to get 2 collars and use the links from the extra collar as needed to increase the size.
Asked my dad to try it because i have two dogs and one is a mix of three and i have a rescue who is a yorkie and we think is a mix with a chihuahua and it shows that because on walks, she is non stop pulling and as soon as we get home, she is already at the water bowl so definitely will ask him to try it and they are both girls called bella and angel(angel is not an angel lol).Bella isnt to bad but she does get distracted and i will start bringing treats to reward her for listening to me, not pulling that much and not getting distracted. Ill updates if it works
I’ll be trying this tomorrow with our training session in a martengale collar. Mine isn’t super bad just a little pull but not an active one trying to get anywhere when working just looking for a little more attention to stop and go/ heel position when not in a clear active forward momentum. This I think will help our verbal turns as well (directional)
Really enjoy your videos and applying these tips/tricks to my older xl american bully! Also because of your breed background & is this breed right for you, i really grew fond of/interested in the boerboels. After talking with my vet and a few breeders , have decided to reserve a male puppy out of a up coming breeding & am super excited to get a new breed/puppy to work with, train and have a blast with. Have had XL Bullys, Standard American Bullys & Bouvier Des Flandres for the last 16 or so years, while theyre all great breeds and dogs, super excited to get & start to work with / train a puppy. After seeing your video, then doing research & reading/watching everything i could on the breed, talkin to my vet and what to look for, ask, health check etc had to say yes to a male puppy.
Hey, I’m from Poland , I have 12months German shepherd I hope this works. She listens when she’s home but as soon as she goes out/ on walk she’s aggressive and over protective near other dogs and she can’t walk nicely and near by only pulls and doesn’t listen 🤞🏼
Hey I’ve been watching pretty much all of your videos, I love the fact that your favorite dog breed is the mighty Cane Corso. As this Orr what I have. Long story short An elderly couple my wife and I help out daily had bought an 8 week old Cane Corso . Black make cropped tail but he has natural ears. He never did any research on this breed. He also has an older male pit bull, then got his wife a female cane Corso. Once Hercules the male Corso got around 100 pounds, this is when the dogs started fighting . Poor Hercules was put in a very small kitchen with a wooden gate to keep him away from the other dogs. Plus he never socialized or took any of his dogs for walks. His health is very bad his wife just passed away abouf 6 months ago. Long story short he signed his male Cane Corso over to me. He pays any vet. Bills. Buys his food every month. I’ve had Hercules for about a year now. He’s now about five years old and 175 pounds. I spend countless hours when I’m not working doing research on Cane. Corsos. And watching your videos and Jason Corey with his dogs Bruce Wayne , Joey Justice. My two biggest issues is that I’m having trouble getting him to recall, and when my wife and I are in bed watching tv and he’s on the bed with us if anyone walks down the hall to use the bathroom, he goes from snoring loud to on his feet hackles up barking non stop! But he won’t get off my bed . What can I do to get him to stop barking at my son and my best friend! I know this breed is a very protective guardian dog and he’s only doing his job. But he knows these people. I have taken into owe local Lowe’s store two times walked around the store for an hour. No issues. But he does have issues when he sees other dogs..Ty hole to hear back from you . Keep those great videos coming. You do great work. Ty Jason
After watching one of your videos, I bought the prong, we started training, and the walking nightmare stopped instantly. My neighbors have noticed the change. No more pulling, no more lunging at bicycles, motorcycles, or waste management trucks. BUT, for some reason, we need to work on lizards, iguanas, and squirrels. 😂 Your videos are the best!
As a dogwalker who only spends a fraction of her time walking a dog compared to the owners/pet parents, do you think this method 1) will work for me, as the non-pet parent? 2) can be undone by the pet parent after the fact if they are letting the dog walk wily-nily? 3) can be easily reinforced by me, or will they be confused by the two walking styles?
Most likely, yes to all of them. If the parents don't enforce it, you should be able to give the dogs a little "reminder" if they get out of pocket with you. We refer to it as a "tune-up." For instance, before the walk even starts, do a few u-turns and sudden stops to remind them that they can't act like a fool during the walks. It'll get them in the right headspace to have a nice walk.
I have a 9 month german sheppard mix. Such an amazing dog. I need all the help because she is so hyper and I need to teach her to listen and stay still
I have a 10-month-old Rottweiler, Berdie. I haven weighed her in a while. She's about 95lbs When I use a prong collar, the pulling is not too bad. She knows if she's wearing a regular collar and pulls a lot more. I have been using the U-turn method, but I have been doing it wrong. We'll be out tonight. Thanks for the training.
I keep watching these and I'm struggling. So probably time to get the recommended collar. 6 month old puppy with high energy, drive and pulling. I need some lower back pain relief stat!! What is the leash you recommend to go with the collar? My back will thank you!!

You’re a wonderful trainer! I’m looking forward to getting another shepherd of some sort. I find wolves and shepherds happy to learn. I like how you’re doing to u turn here. I’d like to work on closer heel. Great stuff!
I'll take your donation. I'll buy one of those eight balls that you ask a question and then shake it and then it displays a yes no , maybe , possibly, without a doubt, ect... Those things were cool
I’m going to give a weeks update: my pup is 1 year old and a un neutered male German Shepherd, he pulls on the leash, especially when there is another dog. I am in NJ, I will update by next Saturday :) Edit(update): he is doing much better! Even after just 3 days of working with him he started loose leash walking. I ordered a prong collar though, becuase he is struggling with distractions still. It’s a process and I’m so proud of how far he has come along!
Thank you! It's night here rn and my dog goes insane every time we go out to potty at night, in the day she is fine. I walk her on a prong collar but I've never taught her to heel because she doesn't pull me. At night she will pull on that prong tho and I've dreaded going out and when I'd pop the leash she would get irritated and go even more excited. I just did this technique ten minutes ago and it didn't even take me five and she was walking next to me and looking for a treat. 🎉
my aunt recently got a dog and she has a real bad issue with pulling, if it’s not corrected the next time i’ll visit i’ll see if this method works for her little girl!
love this!! Two questions - one what if they are use to a prong and its not AS effective anymore and two what if your dog lunges and freaks to great other dogs ??
Hi, i love to see how quick he understood what u want. Unfortunately we can not use prongcollar or e collar in the Netherlands. I would like to see with a normal collar with a dog who is very reactive on the leash. Thank you🙋🏼♀️
I have a nine month old male mix, some Podenco, Terrier and Pittbull. He has a very sweet personality, gets along with my other eight year old medium female dog, and gets along with my three cats as well. I was recommended to use a prong collar because he wants to turn lef all the time on the walks. He is ok to go the early pottywalk, but if I decide to change the route, then he wants to turn left on every street as that leads home. He wines, looks at me, pulls again, and i I pull the prong collar, and he walks straight ahead but not without a protest. He always wears the prong collar on walks, but I do not engage it until I need to. You can't buy it where I live. They are not allowed to be sold, but you can use them.
You can try it, a prong is more effective and requires less force an fewer reps typically, but you can use a flat collar if that's your preference. We cover this in detail in The Perfect Walk course on DIYK9.com
I rescued a 2 year old cane corso mix, while he's genuinely a good dog his lead walking wasn't too good. 2 of your videos and a few walks later he's walking short lead at my side ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart

Your new baby bearded dragon could come home with you and die because they cared more about making the sale and shutting up an ignorant Karen than actually doing what is best for the animals in their care. Sorry for the rant, but there's a ton of crap sold in linktr.ee/AmericanStandardK9pet stores that are not always safe or healthy for your pets. That's why I always point people the text below the video (linktr.ee/AmericanStandardK9). Everything in the list has been used by Garret long enough for him to consider it a quality product. You won't find any prong collars there besides Herm Sprenger because the rest are trash. HS is what they use professionally on Police K9's. If you have any questions, reach out to info@DIYK9.com for more information.
I just got a corso she is 16 weeks I’m going to try this cause she was pulling me on a walk.
Me watching these videos despite not having a dog and not planning on getting one. I love your videos❤️
The best compliment! Thanks for the support and we'll be here IF you decide to get a dog in the future :)
Wow me too 😅
Been using your technique for almost 3 years now .
Thank you
You're welcome!

This looks like something I should try I got a 4 month old working line German Shepherd. Have mostly been working with changing direction and a clicker when he is doing right. I get small improvements My thought is often if I have a relestic expectation on what he should be able to do at this age it my first dog so it a question I have to ask my self often.
No BS as always - great work
I can't believe I just did this and it fixed my problem. I just didn't use any food, just waited a few seconds after the pull and turn when I didn't want my dog to be paying attention to something, looking straight ahead and said "good". Several times during his 1 hour walk. It did wonders. My rotator (rott-lab mix) was SO HAPPY he came home just thrilled to keep playing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
You're welcome, keep up the great work and enjoy your walks!
Had my GSD in a perfect heel at 10 weeks thanks to this technique!
Fantastic!
@@AmericanStandardK9 what about if you are walking your dog casually and you want to let it sniff what is near. Does this 80/20 attention still is ok?
@@mauroj.bonazzi4440 One thing a lot of people fail to realize is that it is YOUR walk, and you allow your dog to go with you on your walk. You train your dog when they need to heel next to you on the walk. When you decide the dog has behaved well on the walk and you find a place that is suitable and "free" the dog as a reward for walking correctly. Then they are allowed to roam free at the length of the leash, but not dragging you along with any real pressure. I allow my dog to pull enough that my arm picks up a little, but I don't need to adjust my stance due to pulling. I typically allow my dog to guide me along wherever she feels she wants to go until I hit a boundary I don't want to cross, such as going down a street I may not want to, crossing someone's property line, etc. When the dog is free, they are still required to behave with manners while I allow them to go pee/poop, smell the flowers, whatever you feel is acceptable. When I am ready to resume the walk, I give Echo a very gentle tug, not even a pop, and that's her cue to come back into heel position and resume her job walking next to me and being engaged with me. Then she is heeling until I free her again. Sometimes she will be roaming free, and she'll turn and randomly find herself next to me and assume she's walking in heel again and I have to remind her that she's still free, and she'll start roaming around within what I find acceptable behavior. The dog just gets used to being in place and it stays there. My daughter was walking Echo recently and as most young teenagers, she was glued to her phone. About 200 yards down the street my daughter turns to go around a car at the last instant, and Echo goes around the car the other way. That's when my daughter noticed the leash, she was holding in her hand wasn't connected to Echo's collar, but she stayed in heel position anyway. She just started laughing and attached the leash. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max so when I need to type on my phone on a walk, I just put the leash down and allow Echo to drag the leash while I type or whatever requires 2 hands, then pick the leash back up. I've done this for a couple minutes at a time on multiple walks.
If you get the advanced course "Unleashed, 5-steps to e-collar mastery", you'll be able to walk your dog 100% off leash while wearing an e-collar and have an "empowered" voice. Once your dog knows a command rock solid and in multiple ways, you can train the dog on the e-collar, including taking your dog on a walk while off leash, but wearing an e-collar. The e-collar becomes the digital leash that
Check out the free 4-hour course at DIYK9.com. It covers a lot of information to educate you on different styles of training, pro's and cons of each, how to find a good trainer, how to become an owner-trainer, which is what you see in this video on a basic level. This is an example of the basic steps to train YOU to train your dog to walk with manners on a loose leash, or, "the perfect walk" which is the name of the associated course. Just by watching this free 4-hour course, you'll know more about dogs and dog training than 99% of dog owners. If you have any questions, reach out to info@diyk9.com and they would be happy to assist.
@@mauroj.bonazzi4440 I'm one of Garret's moderators. First, go to DIYK9.com and you'll have access to 4 hours of free dog training content, with a few quizzes along the way to make sure you understand what Garret is teaching you. He covers the types of dog training such as positive only, compulsion, and what he teaches which is a balanced method that combines the best of both styles. He covers the pros and cons of hiring a trainer and how to find a good one, the cost, and then covers the options for being an owner-trainer which is through his courses. I've had 100% access to 100% of his content and it works. The failure is almost always on the side of the human, be it limited time to train or not understanding the material. If the latter is the case, there are weekly and monthly training and Q&A sessions depending on your membership. Sorry, I digress, but the free course will leave you with more knowledge than probably 98% of people that own dogs.
To your question - Your dog doesn't have to be at 80/20 for 100% of the walk. Literally take time to stop and smell the roses. If the dog is walking in a manner you find acceptable, find an spot along the walk and allow the dog to relieve itself, sniff around, wonder around as much as you feel like allowing. Just while the dog is "free", you still want to maintain a certain level of manners, meaning you don't want the dog to revert to old habits and drag you down the road. You'd correct that obviously. If the dog is pulling gently, maybe enough to raise your arm a little, but not enough to make you change your stance from being pulled, that's about what I allow my dog. She goes to the end of the leash without crossing the line to where she is pulling me. As long as she's not pulling me, I'll follow her and allow her to do her favorite thing, be a slave to her nose. Once I'm ready to continue the walk, I give her a verbal command and she's back in position and on task until I want to free her again.
I usually walk my dog at night because it's cooler, and that's when I have more free time. Echo is half Siberian Husky, and half Treeing Walker Coonhound. Both are very high drive breeds, and Echo would love to run and hunt all day long. Nothing makes her happier. We'll frequently see rabbits in people's yards as we walk. I can tell as soon as she spots one, but she keeps next to me on the walk. I'll usually stop and silently ask for a sit by using leash pressure. Please, check out the leash pressure course. She can be focused on the rabbit, yet I can give feather light leash pressure and she'll immediately sit without even thinking twice, no matter the distraction. Rabbits, deer, other dogs. After the distraction has left and Echo has maintained a good sit, I'll free her and allow her to scent track whatever it was until we reach a property line or something we can't cross, then I put her back on task and we continue the walk.

@@AmericanStandardK9 Which dog breed is best for first time owners
Trained my 3.5 month old Doberman this way after a solid prong introduction. He figured it out half way through the first walk with no U turns. Now he's 4 months and I can walk him barely holding the leash with a stop auto heel every time. Thank you!
Trained? Punished you mean? It's a puppy. A puppy knows nothing! You need to teach them positively
@@edengarden6811 I used it for the cats too. Now we pack walks every day.
@@edengarden6811you need to teach your puppy how to behave cause their Doberman is gonna get bigger and not wanna listen.
Cheers from England. Boarding a big male 5 year old Dogue de Bordeaux for 15 nights soon. I'm determined to have him walking perfect before he goes home. I'll report back.
Hello in England! Yes, let us know how it goes :)
Go to DIYK9.com and you'll start with a free 4-hour course. At the top bar, go to "dog training courses" and memberships or courses, and get started early. When I first took the course in November 2022 it was right at 5 hours long. As Garret finds any gaps either from videoing new dogs or people asking questions, he will add new content to expand the course. I've not checked, but it's grown some since I originally went through. Watch the videos and take notes, especially of the key terms. This will give you time to get the proper equipment if you do not already have it. Check the text below the video above and there is an Amazon affiliate link with everything Garret has used and he has found to be quality equipment. I don't know if prong collars are allowed in England, but if not, you can still train a dog using a flat martingale style collar. This one course will take your dog from making you look like you have no clue about dogs to people complimenting you on just how well behaved your dog is, just from this one course. I have access to 100% of Garret's courses, and it still strikes me as funny how little knowledge people have of dogs that just with a 5-10 minute training session, they think your dog is so well trained. Imagine what they would say if you went through 100% of the courses you need. I say that because you may not need the puppy courses, and you may not be able to use the Unleashed course, although that is the last step to having an extremely well trained dog.
Love my dogues…They are beautiful dogs! Enjoy the time with the big teddy👍🇦🇺
@firznamelazx3327 how did it go?
This guy is amazing, our dogs are lucky to have trainers like this available
Appreciate the kind words and support!

I'm always happy to watch another perfect walk video! They're so insightful. And, more than anything, they work!
Had to dogsit once for a friend, an AmStaff pitbull. I hand't "taken care of" a dog since my teen years. First night and noon, I let the dog pull all it wanted- I wanted to get to know it better and it to know me better. Then decided I was done with the pulling.
Came across your video for loose-leash walking. Next walk, great improvement already. I just had to keep it up for all our other walks, and the dog would only pull when seeing other dogs, but that was already 100% better than when we started. I only had the dog for 5 days, but between your method, and Joel's "door method", the owner of the dog said I must've done something, because the walks with the dog became smoother, as if they had a different dog. You've got the real deal right here!
Awesome! Love that feedback. Any of you can go to DIYK9.com and get 4 free hours of course material to help guide any future plans. If nothing else, just knowing what is possible and where to go will be knowledge in the bank for future training.
And to think garret and his team post this information for us to educate ourselves for FREE!
Thank you sir and everything you do for dogs and their owners world wide. 🍻
Appreciate the support. Helping folks have well trained dogs is what it's all about!
Your free course alone has given me enough knowledge to tighten up everything my pit bull already knows in one day. Plus teaching him a new thing today. Now it’s time to keep going. I don’t have the money to buy the full package at the moment with life but I promise you in 4-6 months I’ll be VIP. This guy is that good
We love that! Appreciate the comment and keep up the awesome work! Also, be sure you're signed up for the DIYK9.com newsletter so you'll be first to know about upcoming sales and promotions :)
No doubt this top-tier education is 5/5 stars.
UGH i love these videos! its so satisfying to see well trained dogs as someone who sees dogs lunging at mine🤦♀️
Hey from the UK - You have become my go too! This is awesome, One walk and my Golden Doodle puppy is showing massive steps to improvement!
Love to hear it and hello in the UK!
Rescued a wonderful pit bull from the shelter. She's two, high energy and willing to please. Going to start working with her for better walks and not the constant pulling. At 70 she gets to be too much. I give her a lot of energy release in the fenced yard throughout the day, and try to stimulate her mind with frisbee, ball catching, and playing with my other two dogs. I am going to work with her and me so we can both enjoy our walks.
From Cincinnati, OH. I'm screaming THANK YOU! All these other videos I see online is "just go the other direction every time they pull" and ONLY changing directions was not working with my 8month old 80+ lb GSD mix. Prong collars sadly have this horrible rep but they work if you're working with them correctly!!
AND anyone sees this and you're one of those people that call them choke collars... just stop. Please. Stop it.
Sir i appreciate you for making these videos ! I unfortunately have a stubborn French bulldog but he is definitely going to learn with this method 🙏🏽
You got this!
Used this turn technique on dogs I’ve house sat, works great.
Love to hear it!
Amazing Video. We have a 7 month old Shepsky (Shepard/Husky) who would take US on walks. Constantly pulling. it was NOT fun. I hated walking him. Picked up a prong collar, tried it today and within 20 seconds the dog was WATCHING me. It took a few tugs as you said but he would watch me like a HAWK. He did so well after our walk around the neighborhood I took him for a walk in a local park and at one point I didn't even have to hold the leash. He was just watching my every move. SOOOOO much more fun to take for walks. Thank you!
Love that! Enjoy your walks!
This breaks it down so easily for me. Thank you for this video!
You're so welcome!
I will try your method and get back to you😊
Please do!
Hello from the UK. Enjoying the content, I'm adopting a young Husky x Belgian Malinois next week, looking forward to using this technique as I know she is still a puller on a leash.
Best of luck!
This was amazing. We rescued a Beagle/Pitt mix and while on vacation he was pulling so bad and watched this and drove to the pet store and changed our harness to prong collar and omg we are so happy with only 20 minutes and now it’s night and day.
Glad we could help! Just be sure you're using a Herm Sprenger prong collar.
Great video, i was once the stubborn husband who didnt listen to my vet tech wife 😅 but she showed me your videos/channel...safe to say i will always listen to you both from now on. 😂🙏🏽 Great video mate! Keep it up!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤ for this video, my walks with my dog were a nightmare 😢 now I could walk for hours with my dog 😊
You are so welcome!
That pooch is a genius 😁
And seems like a sweetheart
Looks great! Watching from Philippines
Thanks for watching!
I always enjoy seeing videos with Thor! I, too, have a rottie named Thor (see profile pic), and he’s six yrs old. Rotties r so intelligent, and puppy Thor was definitely catching on quickly!
Works perfectly on my giant 160lb Malamute. Great video.
Great tips! Stubborn 10 month german shepherd was a lot better after just 20 minutes. (No prongcollar) Just gotta keep practicing! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You had me at "I gotta watch this crazy A-hole!" awesome! I'm going to start this method today. thanks
Works Absolutely Well on my 11 months Cane Corso
I have not done much treat training but more with a praise reward. This method works really well that way as well. Worked on my Weimaraner very well with just a martingale and it's working very well with my Bloodhound x Cane Corso 50/50.
Glad it helped!
We have a 2 years old Cane Corso that's barely 50kg even though his parents weighed 72kg and 82kg. He was pulling really badly! My father and I were the only ones able to walk him due to this problem. On our vacation to the USA from Canada we bought a herm sprenger prong collar and started to use your methods to stop him from pulling. We are now all able to walk him which is something great but still a lot of things to resolve with him
I just got back from a walk I didn't think was possible with my 6 month old Brittany Spaniel. She was choking herself out on the flat collar and the corrections weren't working or weren't hard enough. Her neck went through so much stress during those walks and I didn't want to overdo it. Other YT trainers said don't walk until they are "ready". This just ended up in me not walking her at all for a while and I was super discouraged, thinking I'll need to get pro training in order to walk her. Today, the prong collar arrived. That along with your tips has changed both our lives in literally 5 mins of walking. Thanks! 🙏😀
Awesome feedback! Go to DIYK9.com for a free 4-hour course and if you want to see the full "The Perfect Walk' course, it has so much more than these YT videos. When I first saw the course about 22 months ago it was 5 hours long. It's grown since then and there's so much more there than what you see in these short YT videos. Tons of tips and tricks to do this better, how to fix things that are not quite what you want, information on leashes, collars, harnesses, etc. The pro's and con's of each. There are a lot of things you'll encounter on a walk that the course tells you how to deal with. You'd have access to a member only FB group where you can ask questions. The moderators and group experts will be happy t assist, as well as customers that have the member only access too. If the question isn't something that can be answered, or is just such a great question, it will be passed on to Garret to address in his weekly or monthly live training or Q&A sessions.
That’s amazing. Happy to hear it!! 🎉
I need this in my life! I have a four year old Aussie. We need all the help! I’m excited to try this.
My best friend has adopted a 4 month old Padenco mix from Spain. Im sending her these video's 💪💪
Thanks for sharing!!
That is one great dog, tired, thinking, that respects you and looking to get paid. Great balanced techniques and training! Took years (and prongs) with our Australian Shepherds. They are leash less heal now using your technique consistently.
Wonderful to hear, keep it up!
Tried this with my 3 year old Heeler/Black Mouthed Cur mix and I’ve seen so much improvement just in a couple minutes of training. He has always been okay with walks but I want him to be his best so I’m excited to see his progress. Thank you👍🏼
Great to hear!
So, I just took my 3 year old GS on a walk, using this technique, and Lord knows, this may have been the best walk since I have had him... Thank you. It had gotten to the point where I just did not want to take him on walks because of all of the tugging. I am all of 5ft, and have had ppl ask me if I was ok, while being tugged around like a rag doll. Thank you bunches for your expertise!!!
So happy to hear that! Keep it up!
This never gets old. Outstanding! DIY K9 for the win!
Got my Corgi walking beautifully within 15 minutes with this method! So simple!
Do the 3 steps need to be done daily or is once enough for it to walk good forever
My 6 month old lab has been having training with Gundog trainer and have been told to put tension on the lead and to stop to stop him pulling but not working for me. He is so distracted by anything whilst out and nose always on the ground. Im going to try your method as Im at my witts end, fingers crossed it works. Im in UK xx
Looks great! Looking forward to training our 5 month old American Bully. Pulls like crazy while on the leash.
I am thoroughly impressed and will be using this on our rottweilers.
Thank you for this video, gonna use it on my dogs and let you know how it is. It has been hard for me to take them out.
Definitely try this and let us know how it goes

100% gems!
I love this! When do you stop rewarding the puppy though? I found that when I do this for too long with other tasks, my pup is learning to only “sit, stay, etc” properly when there is a treat.
It depends how old they are and how well there trained but when they get the hang of one treat per trick u move up to your dog only gets a treat when he listens to u through multiple commands so try come here then sit then heel after he does all three you give him a treat and slowly keep adding more and eventually he’ll listen to everything you say weather you have a treat or not
0one of my dogs started pulling recently. Just picked up a good note or two here. ALways appreciated ASDT!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the kind words!
I ordered a Prong color tonight ready to train this pully dog of mine. I'm in the process of adopting her, currently im fostering her until she is cured. She is in heartworm treatment but she still pull the he'll out of me on our bathroom park walks. Thanks for this.
Love your videos…My dog really need this😂Tysm from India
You're welcome!
This is great. My lil guy is 11wks gsd. He is great at a natural heel. So far i've not used food but had to do some 180° direction changes when he would be apt to get ahead. The one thing we're working on is the 90° direction change. He heels on the left, so going right isn't too bad but going left still steps through him the first step or two. Consistency seems to be key, and given his age, small doses.
Hello, i want to buy my first dog, a Standart schnauzer, but i dont know how to train him, now i feel better after i saw your video❤
Hi! Check out all of our online courses at DIYK9.com where we cover everything from puppy training to off leash obedience.
I have a 30kg boxer /english setter, ive been trying to do this awhile now, hes my first dog and ive basically been figuring things out as i go along, but im stuck on the pulling and now i am relaly looki g forword to doing now . Really great video
Hi i love your video and I’m learning so much from you.
I have a question. Id like to get prong collar for my 6 months old Bernese but she is still growing and now she is 54 lbs. Which size do you recommend? I’m currently living in Japan and shipping will take a while to get here so I’m debating getting between 2.25 or 3.0 for her.
We recommend the 2.25 but get extra links so you can make it larger as she grows. Actually it would probably be cheaper to get 2 collars and use the links from the extra collar as needed to increase the size.
Great video, love from India ❤
Thank you, and hello in India!
He's the best around been watching for a while and still I learn and my dog too
Asked my dad to try it because i have two dogs and one is a mix of three and i have a rescue who is a yorkie and we think is a mix with a chihuahua and it shows that because on walks, she is non stop pulling and as soon as we get home, she is already at the water bowl so definitely will ask him to try it and they are both girls called bella and angel(angel is not an angel lol).Bella isnt to bad but she does get distracted and i will start bringing treats to reward her for listening to me, not pulling that much and not getting distracted. Ill updates if it works
I’ll be trying this tomorrow with our training session in a martengale collar. Mine isn’t super bad just a little pull but not an active one trying to get anywhere when working just looking for a little more attention to stop and go/ heel position when not in a clear active forward momentum. This I think will help our verbal turns as well (directional)
Incredible techniques!
Really enjoy your videos and applying these tips/tricks to my older xl american bully! Also because of your breed background & is this breed right for you, i really grew fond of/interested in the boerboels. After talking with my vet and a few breeders , have decided to reserve a male puppy out of a up coming breeding & am super excited to get a new breed/puppy to work with, train and have a blast with. Have had XL Bullys, Standard American Bullys & Bouvier Des Flandres for the last 16 or so years, while theyre all great breeds and dogs, super excited to get & start to work with / train a puppy. After seeing your video, then doing research & reading/watching everything i could on the breed, talkin to my vet and what to look for, ask, health check etc had to say yes to a male puppy.
I never seen you do training videos with lil dogs. I have a little dog that I am trying to train
Hey, I’m from Poland , I have 12months German shepherd I hope this works. She listens when she’s home but as soon as she goes out/ on walk she’s aggressive and over protective near other dogs and she can’t walk nicely and near by only pulls and doesn’t listen 🤞🏼
Hey I’ve been watching pretty much all of your videos, I love the fact that your favorite dog breed is the mighty Cane Corso. As this Orr what I have. Long story short An elderly couple my wife and I help out daily had bought an 8 week old Cane Corso . Black make cropped tail but he has natural ears. He never did any research on this breed. He also has an older male pit bull, then got his wife a female cane Corso. Once Hercules the male Corso got around 100 pounds, this is when the dogs started fighting . Poor Hercules was put in a very small kitchen with a wooden gate to keep him away from the other dogs. Plus he never socialized or took any of his dogs for walks. His health is very bad his wife just passed away abouf 6 months ago. Long story short he signed his male Cane Corso over to me. He pays any vet. Bills. Buys his food every month. I’ve had Hercules for about a year now. He’s now about five years old and 175 pounds. I spend countless hours when I’m not working doing research on Cane. Corsos. And watching your videos and Jason Corey with his dogs Bruce Wayne , Joey Justice. My two biggest issues is that I’m having trouble getting him to recall, and when my wife and I are in bed watching tv and he’s on the bed with us if anyone walks down the hall to use the bathroom, he goes from snoring loud to on his feet hackles up barking non stop! But he won’t get off my bed . What can I do to get him to stop barking at my son and my best friend! I know this breed is a very protective guardian dog and he’s only doing his job. But he knows these people. I have taken into owe local Lowe’s store two times walked around the store for an hour. No issues. But he does have issues when he sees other dogs..Ty hole to hear back from you . Keep those great videos coming. You do great work. Ty Jason
Going to try this
Thanks
After watching one of your videos, I bought the prong, we started training, and the walking nightmare stopped instantly. My neighbors have noticed the change. No more pulling, no more lunging at bicycles, motorcycles, or waste management trucks. BUT, for some reason, we need to work on lizards, iguanas, and squirrels. 😂
Your videos are the best!
LOVE to hear it!
Your videos are amazing. Improved a lot by watching them. I see u in Portugal. Greetings and all the best to u.
Awesome! Thank you!
From canada, thank you for your tips! I'll be trying this on my bully👍🏼
As a dogwalker who only spends a fraction of her time walking a dog compared to the owners/pet parents, do you think this method
1) will work for me, as the non-pet parent?
2) can be undone by the pet parent after the fact if they are letting the dog walk wily-nily?
3) can be easily reinforced by me, or will they be confused by the two walking styles?
Most likely, yes to all of them. If the parents don't enforce it, you should be able to give the dogs a little "reminder" if they get out of pocket with you. We refer to it as a "tune-up." For instance, before the walk even starts, do a few u-turns and sudden stops to remind them that they can't act like a fool during the walks. It'll get them in the right headspace to have a nice walk.
Love your teaching very much like Cesar’s physical touch just using a prong collar instead of
I have a 9 month german sheppard mix. Such an amazing dog. I need all the help because she is so hyper and I need to teach her to listen and stay still
We have online courses at DIYK9.com for all of your training needs.
I have a 10-month-old Rottweiler, Berdie. I haven weighed her in a while. She's about 95lbs When I use a prong collar, the pulling is not too bad. She knows if she's wearing a regular collar and pulls a lot more. I have been using the U-turn method, but I have been doing it wrong. We'll be out tonight. Thanks for the training.
Thanks man this is a really good video ❤
Ur the man bro, thanks for sharing informations with us
No problem 👍

Just spread the word about DIYK9.com and our amazing training! Glad we could help you!
I'll take your donation. I'll buy one of those eight balls that you ask a question and then shake it and then it displays a yes no , maybe , possibly, without a doubt, ect... Those things were cool
I’m going to give a weeks update: my pup is 1 year old and a un neutered male German Shepherd, he pulls on the leash, especially when there is another dog. I am in NJ, I will update by next Saturday :)
Edit(update): he is doing much better! Even after just 3 days of working with him he started loose leash walking. I ordered a prong collar though, becuase he is struggling with distractions still. It’s a process and I’m so proud of how far he has come along!
Looking forward to your update!
Anti pull lead rope figure 8 worked for my rottweiler in minutes
Nice one bro it works am Dayo from Nigeria
Thank you! It's night here rn and my dog goes insane every time we go out to potty at night, in the day she is fine. I walk her on a prong collar but I've never taught her to heel because she doesn't pull me. At night she will pull on that prong tho and I've dreaded going out and when I'd pop the leash she would get irritated and go even more excited. I just did this technique ten minutes ago and it didn't even take me five and she was walking next to me and looking for a treat. 🎉
my aunt recently got a dog and she has a real bad issue with pulling, if it’s not corrected the next time i’ll visit i’ll see if this method works for her little girl!
Very helpful! TY!!
You're welcome!
love this!! Two questions - one what if they are use to a prong and its not AS effective anymore and two what if your dog lunges and freaks to great other dogs ??

Great performance 👏 👌
Hi, i love to see how quick he understood what u want.
Unfortunately we can not use prongcollar or e collar in the Netherlands. I would like to see with a normal collar with a dog who is very reactive on the leash. Thank you🙋🏼♀️
We cover that in The Perfect Walk course on DIYK9.com
Awesome 👏 Video this one is a keeper👍
Thanks 👍
I have a nine month old male mix, some Podenco, Terrier and Pittbull. He has a very sweet personality, gets along with my other eight year old medium female dog, and gets along with my three cats as well. I was recommended to use a prong collar because he wants to turn lef all the time on the walks. He is ok to go the early pottywalk, but if I decide to change the route, then he wants to turn left on every street as that leads home. He wines, looks at me, pulls again, and i I pull the prong collar, and he walks straight ahead but not without a protest. He always wears the prong collar on walks, but I do not engage it until I need to. You can't buy it where I live. They are not allowed to be sold, but you can use them.
Great method, i always train this way.
Does the leash correction work with a regular flat collar as well and as effectively? I am hesitant to use a prong collar on a 5mo pup.
You can try it, a prong is more effective and requires less force an fewer reps typically, but you can use a flat collar if that's your preference. We cover this in detail in The Perfect Walk course on DIYK9.com
Excellent teaching Garret can you teach us how to train with E-collar 🙏 please
We have an entire course on DIYK9.com called Unleashed that teaches proper ecollar use.
Awesome as usual!
Going to try this on my rat terrier he’s still leash training and been needing something to help 🙏
Does it work also when your dog tries to lay down or pull the leash when walking?
Great video
Thanks!
Well said👍💐🙏
Thanks
