Is your dog CONSTANTLY pulling during your walking training? This video is for you: ua-cam.com/video/y2yj2xtCo-k/v-deo.html
Happy Training!
When would be a good time/age for your pup to jog with you? And any suggestions on distance, frequency?
No not constantly. He is much improved. I don’t know if he wants to lead but I’m trying to establish that I am pack leader and that he needs to understand the dynamics of the matriarchal relationship. It’s the females that lead.
I'd like to see some videos like this withOUT already trained, exceptionally obedient dogs. Take my dog Bruce, for example. I guarantee you'll give up before he becomes like your video dogs.
I've almost given up many times. But clear, simple, common sense videos like this are easy for people like me to understand, and begin to implement.
And that keeps me coming back, and remaining hopeful...and for that I am grateful!
Hi there, J Mills! If you feel like you’re struggling with exercises like this, then it’s time to focus on the basics! Here’s a video that will allow you to get a little more focus and control: Is Your Dog OUT OF CONTROL? Here’s How You Can Change That ua-cam.com/video/bVYm5-sLQMk/v-deo.html
Happy Training ~Ken
J Mills - 100% correct. I send many of these videos to people having issues because McCann videos are so clear and simple to understand. Too many details become overwhelming for us people as well as dogs!
VERY GOOD POINT😂
seriously, who isn't distracted by a leaf blowing by....
LOL
😅
I saw my SiL child run away from a leaf blower. 5yo human...
Who doesn’t want to eat a leaf up compulsively? Definitely not my dog...
There was a cup rolling around on the road in front of me and I was SURE my car was going to spook. I put in the brakes before realizing cars don’t spook. Still felt REALLU wrong going over it.
This is SO HELPFUL! It answers my questions about rewarding when the dog is NOT pulling.
What more can I say? You really are the best and I have watched EVERYTHING, EVERY WHERE. Thank you.
So much information ! Thank you so much. I'm excited to see how this goes 😁
Love your teaching method, style, energy. Great job ~ love the reminders in this vid. I have a dog service, DogGone Walking KC, offering dog walking, dog enrichment play with some training, dog/pet sitting, and dog boarding. It is so rewarding! I look forward to viewing more of your instructionals. I train loose leash walking with my clients, but our own gal - goodness she's stubborn.... Still working through it with her ~ she'll get it. This vid was great for me to review my checklist. Thanks!
Tried the techniques at 7:15 / 8:20 /12:18 on our walk today. Worked like a charm!! Thanks!
Thanks man lol
I think this really helped me understand her pulling. I was letting my pup pick the direction she wanted to go as a relaxing walk. But now that she is old enough to do longer walks I am struggling with her wanting to go her own way instead of listening to go the way I need her. This makes alot of sense.
I love watching the footwork demonstrated by the lady training the Pappillon in your video. It's something that took me a long time to learn in order to help my former dogs get higher scores at obedience trials. I have a new dog these days -- a little rescue who is coming along nicely. All my other fur babies have passed on. It's been a number of years since I've shown a dog in obedience and my footwork definitely needs improvement. 🙄
You guys are awesome! Through watching your videos, I realized that I was letting my golden doodle puppy rehearse pulling on the leash. I stopped taking her on long walks and started just practicing in the driveway. We went on a walk around the block using the Gentle Leader today. Wow! What a difference! Still a lot of work to do like not losing it and lunging toward cars, but today was definitely a breakthrough!
I was making so many of these mistakes and I didn’t even know it! I tried these with my puppy today and it went so much better. Thank you!
Thank McCann dog so much for teaching us the skills of dog training without reservation.❤
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you.
There’s a few things I’ve lacking in Leash manners training: Moving to quickly to different locations that my dog might not be ready for yet, not rewarding frequently and not bridging the gap with my voice. It’s so simple but so crucial in this phase. Thank you so much 😊
We just got a 9 month southern rescue who may not have known how to walk in the city on a leash......this is so great! We love your videos
Glad you find our videos so helpful, Witchy Wumn! Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Very much helpful.Appreciated
We really appreciate your videos and methods. These are great reminders and clarify lots of commonly overlooked steps. Great for troubleshooting! Thank you!
You are the best! There are no better training videos.
Thank you.
I will be aware while training dogs
Thanks alot!!
Excellent video, thank you Ken im following each and every tip of yrs and i have seen huge difference so far with 'Toby' that makes his life and ours more calm.
Cheers
So glad you’re enjoying our videos. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Excellent extra information. Thanks!
Exactly... the point is to stay connected as you said, stay in constant communication, verbal or non verbal, have part of your attention CONSTANTLY on your dog, he's your companion who depends on you, especially in the modern world with innumerable challenges, distractions and dangers... that's the whole point of it, to have a connection with this living being, relate to his feelings, needs, fears and joys and address them... it's not about solving everything or catering to every whim, it's about acknowledging them, it's about the interaction, what do you need, what do I need...
Loved this troubleshooting style video, please make more like this.
Glad you enjoyed it, Danielle! We do have a few that we are planning to do! Thanks for watching ~Ken
McCann Dog Training and thank you for being so interactive with the comments/questions big difference from other channels
After I taught my dog to heel: to walk right by my side with a loose leash, I taught her a secondary command. "Free" or "free-up" means she has the entire length of the leash at her disposal but already knows that pulling is not ok. I liken it to working mode and play mode. It works for us because we like to go on LONG walks through out our small town and this way she doesn't have to be in work mode for what may be a 2 hour long jaunt, she's able to be a dog and have fun as our surroundings dictate, or right back in to a heel if need be.
funny history: I first discovered the two commands back when I was just 5 years old and out walking with my aunt and uncle and their dog, a large and well trained setter. The dog was so well trained that even me, a 5 yr old, could hold the leash. Well, some how the "free up" command entered the conversation, complete with demonstration. At which point the dog immediately took off; it was just like in a cartoon, the dog running with me flying in the air like a kite still holding on to the leash. I don't know I didn't fall flat on my face (or maybe I've repressed that part). No hard feelings though, my Aunt apologized and felt bad and I still get a chuckle out it. Now a days my own dog is both not that extremely well trained nor uber quick
treat doesn't work on my dog, he pulls backwards because he just wants to go home. Do you have any tips ?
We use the 'free' aswell! That helps a lot for our young puppy. We cant expect her to walk long walks since we live in the city. Too many distracting stuff. We slowly build up the distance and use the free in the park for sniffing etc. :)
Love the imagine of you sailing through the air behind the dog! I had a similar experience as a child, but was dragged along the ground. Didn't put me off dogs though!
I love your videos. Has helped me and my puppy so much. Thanks
Thanks for this great video. We're in Grade 1, so it really succinctly points out all the areas to work on! It's a great supplement to class.
Glad you found it so helpful, Pat! Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Hello Ken thank you so much for sharing these great tips. I appreciate it very much and a definite keeper and will share this too.
Thank you, Lina! I’m so glad you’re finding them helpful! ~Ken
Excellent.. Really helpful.
Learning a lot! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this. My 17 week old Golden is doing so well with is loose leash walking until he sees people or other dogs. I will start rewarding him more frequently until the people/dogs get by to see if that works. If not, I'll try something of higher value.
Thx man I been doing it all wrong. I had it all tight and short. Great videos
Absolutely
Thank you so much for all your leash training tips. I have a hyper German Short Hair Pointer 6 month old and your method is working! Thank you so much for these videos.
Excellent teacher....ty
Your comment about getting a dog to behave on the way starting out for a walk with obedience dissolving on the way home brought triggered a very old memory of renting a horse for a trail ride when I was a teenager. For the first half hour he was docile and obedient to my every command. Then we turned towards home and he was a galloping 850 lbs of uncontrollable energy. We left the trail and even jumped an irrigation ditch making it back to the barn in under 5 minutes. Somehow I stayed on him.
My present 25 lb Cocker Spaniel is not nearly as challenging to walk. I love your dog training vids.
Great advice!
90k! 90k!! 90K!!! WOW! You guys have helped so many dog!! You guys are amazing!!
Great tips. Reinforces my instincts. And spit on. We are all learning what works best to help the pup learn.
Thanks.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Happy Training!

@@jeffreywilliams7205 work in progress on his leash matters. He’s coming along. He’s the sweetest soul. That being said the greatest issue right now on his walks is he thinks when he sees others or others with dogs that he has to lunge and get up in there business. I keep him controlled on a short leash so nothing bad happens but I’ve got to get him past this. It not good behavior to say the least.
He was socialized as a pup growing up. Am at a loss.
Any tips or suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it. I know with time and maturation things will improve but in the meantime I’ve got to get a handle on this behavior.
Many thanks
@@jeffreywilliams7205 Finn. He is 13 months old. At present he is in tacked as collie growth continues for approximately 18 months. Have to let the growth platelets continue to form.
Great tips, thank you!
Wow, I haven't even finished watching the video but tried the tips so far and what a relief!! My dog is almost 2 and I have tried so many different tactics for the pulling. To know that the dogs ONLY job is to not pull on the leash makes me so much more relaxed! Makes the walk so much more enjoyable! I was worried about giving her too many treats, about her walking ahead of me instead of right by me, about the fact that she is constantly looking back at me for a treat. By focusing on the one thing only makes me feel as if my dog is the best dog ever!! Thank you SO MUCH 🙏
So glad you watched, Dana! These tips can have quite a big impact on your walking! Happy Training ~Ken
@@McCannDogs also that tip about looking at the the hook hanging down is SO amazingly helpful - such a small thing makes it SO much easier! p.s. i have had a harness on my dog since the time I got her (at 8 weeks). with our latest walks (and lots of treats!) i have used just a regular collar and it has been fine :) of course, we haven't come across another dog yet but hopefully we will be able to better deal with that when it happens. thanks again!!
Hi Ken,
Nice video. Thx for those good advices.
Kiss from france.
Thank you, Jolie! I’m glad you found it helpful! ~Ken
I think this is really helpful information! Can't wait to correct my behavior and make my dog more successful :D
This is very helpful my dog always pulls on his leash 🙂
Great advice. You seem to use positive reward or positive reinforcement. Which I like. Rather a negative reinforced like prong or shock collar
Wow, you guys have grown so much! Great video with so much great info!
Thanks MissBelleABall! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
I have an (adorable) 50+ lb PitBull who is SO easy to train in my apartment, but gets so distracted the second we’re on the leash and pulls so badly!! It’s difficult because I’m a small person, so it’s difficult for me to handle and I’ve been working SO SO hard to train her not to pull on the leash or whine at other dogs and this was so helpful! She’s embarrassed my so many times in public (particularly pulling me or whining loudly) but I know that it’s entirely my responsibility to keep her under control in every way. Thank you for this helpful resource and I’ll make sure to continue working as hard as I can during this training journey!
Very good advice 👍
We had a fear aggressive dog and initially it was stressful trying to take him hiking with us because often trails are narrow and there isn’t much space to pass another hiker, especially if they also have a dog. A trainer taught us to find a spot to safely get off the trail and do “look at me” with treats while people walked by on the trail. It didn’t take him long to figure out that seeing people ahead was an opportunity for a treat and he’d look for an off trail spot himself! It wasn’t ideal, but it helped us to cope with what we called his emotional disability.
I trained my aussie border collie to do that, exactly. She's 5 now. Gets off trail, road, or sidewalk and sits and waits for others to pass. There is no response to other dogs.
Thanks! That was helpful! My four mo. Old Corgi is great at home and a DISASTER at puppy class! She knows when we get there and tries to leap out and immediately starts dragging me toward the door😑 I will START by offering the special treats next week.!
This is the only video that I have watched that made an attempt to answer my questions by talking to us & telling us what we're doing wrong. All the other video's I watched started out trying to sell me something. This is the only really helpful video I have seen!
I have a bad hip and back….my dog pulls, he’s going to knock me over
Super information
Thank you, Linda! Glad it was helpful for you. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
U earned my like & full attention @7:45. GR8 vid.
Great video on getting that loose leash walking! My Aussie has naturally been relatively easy as far as not pulling until he had a few bad encounters with big dogs that created some rather intense fear reactivity. We have been working hard to get through this and he's doing great, but often he isn't interested in taking food when there are more distractions. What are your thoughts on using a toy for rewards during high distraction times (other dogs, skateboards and squirrels are our triggers specifically)? At other times he has great leash respect and we are working on increased duration for our more formal walking, but when those things appear we can maintain a sit now (rather than trying to lunge and bark) but not a calm, loose leash walk yet. Would using his tug toy (which is his highest value reward) be something I should try incorporating?
My I congratulate you all for the excellent service you kindly give to us all on training us and our Puppies and dogs .oh how I wished you ran a training school in West Sussex. You explain so well the reason why you train this way. I’m always watching your training advice. Many many thanks Barbara
@@jeffreywilliams7205 I have enrolled Tevye and myself to dog training classes armed with your advice and their excellent training we are coming along nicely. Tevye is coming up to 6 months of age this week and a very strong chocolate Labrador Retriever therefore it’s vital we both continue our training together. As we still have a long way to go to know our boundaries for being responsible and respectful to all at the same time enjoying life and our wonderful walks.
The only downside to having a wonderful companion like Tevye is when you loose them as part of you go with them as when I lost my other two chocolate Labradors Igor and Zakhar.
As I’m now elderly myself Now i have made provisions for Tevye incase to be well loved if I unfortunately leave him. However he is my reason to live my joy and wonderful companion. When I lost my wonderful husband it was Zakhar that made me get out of bed and continue to live..
Thank you once again for your excellent team training, sound advice which has re-educated me and reminded me how to give my puppy a fair start in life and as he grows up. My kindest regards Barbara
Great videos! Just got a year old chiweenie, very sweet little dog....but.... he does not always want to come out the front door to go for a walk. Once we accomplish that, he will walk a little bit then stops and refuses to go any further. Once he starts again I praise him and continue to call his name telling him what a good boy he is. Then he does it again, we go through this routine 4-5 times during our walk. What can I do to change this behavior? Thank you!
Looking good, i will try this week everyday with my Japanese akita puppy.
Omg my sons dream dog..but i heard their temperment isnt well..we just got a bluenose pup..he really wants an authentic Japanes Akita..because of the movie Hachi lol
@@gootsycollins3046 Hi, i suggest you to join the Akita world facebook page to learn more about the breed
They are great breed, i love my dog!
Im having a hard time leash trainning my american akita, she gets easily distracted and has no interest in treats when shes outside
The leash being lose isn't possible when your dog pulls constantly. My girl just wants to go go go so how I keep the lease loose I have no clue. Before I even start to walk she's off and I'm already struggling. I do it out front of my house, going back and forth, trying so hard to get this fabulous girl walking like she use to but :( no success and it's very frustrating :( Your training looks so easy but all your dogs appear to be highly trained already. Would love to see a completely untrained dog.
The same problem. Tried every techniques and non of them working. Distracted with every bug,car, sound, etc. 😔
It starts at the door. Don't let him rush out, you first then the dog. This may take several tries.
When I was training last dogs we had to really start inside. Playing with your puppy and practice the focus command. Get them to keep attention at you, once you have this command then stand up and use attention while they are at your side- reward this behaviour. Then as you take a couole steps, if they stay at your side reward again and repeat. You may need to do this several times inside and then in the backyard before going outside.
@@chantalduplessis5149 yes
Start indoors. That's your foundation, increase distractions every now and again and if something is too challenging go back to last step
I feel like I was being trained to look at the screen by the pop sound lol
Lol me too!!
Hahaha! Same! I’m so obedient 😄
What do you mean by the pop sound
I feel like I need rewards every step...I have to carry a 10lb bag of treats!
Don't do that! You wanna ween them off the treats once they have learned
Canine Carry outs. The Bacon flavors breaks down easy into 9 ish pieces and they have a strong enough flavor to be interesting. Plus they are cheaper. $8 for a 50oz bag.
Give just crumbles from bigger pieces. :)
this video? your entire channel is my checklist! thank you so much!
So glad you’re finding our videos helpful. Thanks for watching ~Ken
I love how clear your videos are, however, I wish you shared more videos like this one with dogs that are starting from square one so we can get a visual example of how to react and correct with dogs that are going nuts, and not necessarily obediently sitting and waiting to start out the exercise.
For the environment factor. My dog is super interested in what is going on and is distracted when outside. So while we work on walking in less stimulating environments how do we handle getting them some movement and exercise?
I have to do something different and will apply some of these techniques. My Weim is 19-months old and as a novice trainer and sporting dog owner, I allowed him to have bad leash manners for months. We’ve lost a lot of time and now, all he knows is a pinch collar (and I know I don’t use that right either.) We train for competition and we can’t, if he can’t be off the pinch. I will be more diligent about our leash manners training and really backtrack, using these technique, to see if I can get him on track finally!
my puppy pulls a lot when he needs to poop, after that he only pulls occasionally when he finds a smell.
Hello, McCann team, and thank you for this video.
I have constant back pain due to walking my dog. She's a 15 months Golden retriever, 28 kg, and full of energy, and super excited to go out. So, she's super strong, I can barely hold her.
The tips seem very helpful, like the rewarding and loose lead when rewarding, but I wonder if you could help me with the following questions:
1) Do I start the training as soon as I leave the house? As soon as we leave, the dog is desperate to go out, to go to the park (usually we go to the park to play with ball. She loves fetching the ball). So I wonder if I should start the training just around 5 or 10 min after leaving the house to give her time to explore a bit, and calm down (if this is even possible)
2) How long should the every day train last? 5 min, 10 min? My concern is the amount of food. The longer I train her the more food I have to give/reward, so what's the ideal time of training per day? (Also to avoid stressing the dog, right?)
I'm looking forward to your reply ❤
Thank you very much!
Good advice no great
im training a service dog and all of your videos are helping me with her training
if anyone has any tips id greatly appreciate
Did you succeed? :)
i feel that sometimes making an energetic dog walking with you is easier.. i have a pekingese puppy and she would just sit or lay on the ground haha
Yes. My Havanese does follow behind me some, but is so slow about it. Ha ha.
Short walks and slowly lengthen them and bring your pup water
How does this change when running? I use cues like "by my side" "to the right *and point*" "to the left *and point*" but I do a lot of my exercise with "hands-free" leashes
These videos are great….my pup is far to high with little attention span ..even using treats. He just jumps aro7nd and has a hard time settling even for a minute. (3 month old golden retriever)
This is great help. I have two dogs a year apart in age, how do I train them to walk correctly together?
Hi there, Al! The fastest way to get some success is to train the dogs independently then start to introduce them to walking together when they start to “get it”. Having a foundation of success will be important so they have some understanding of your expectations before you make things challenging by adding another dog (which can be a tough distraction). Thanks for watching ~Ken
Thank you so much! This affirms what I had been doing wrong and how I felt i had to pull back and start over. I had been walking outside during high frequency walking times where everyone was around the lake and he had too many distractions and very little time to be successful. Now i have shortened the walks and am doing them during low distraction times. He loves his treats and loves the successful times where he “conquered” the walk rather than coming home frustrated. My question is about knowing when he needs to sniff and poop and pee. Do I just allow him to occasionally sniff and then call him back into the walk and eventually is there an opportunity to walk him on a long leash when we want to romp and play along a bayou or open space?
Makes sense what you say about being aware of tension on the leash, i am one the walks at a good pace, but don't make turns . And yes my dog doesn't care about treats in my hand and expensive treats at that. he is on a scent and continues to pull no matter what, he is 75 lb,s . Maybe i need to give more treats along the walks , hmmm.
I am so happy to have found these videos. I've had and trained dogs all my life, I'm 60 now, and whereas I've been happy enough with the results I've been given an Akita puppy a couple of days ago. The first time I've had a pup and it feels like a blank slate to get things right from the very beginning.
It should be easier than taking on an emotionally unstable older dog, which mine have mainly been, but I feel strangely uncertain. Bruno is going to be a big boy, and has to learn from the start to get on with, and not try to dominate, my other two dogs. He will also have to realise that my parrots are off limits. Obviously, he won't be allowed around them, but if I walk past with a bird on my shoulder, it isn't either a toy or prey.
I'm enjoying working with him very much so far, but it has only been 3 days and I have to admit to a little trepidation that I get the most important things right from the very start.
I'm very grateful for this resource, thank you.
Hi, thanks for the helpful video, after trying this, I noticed one serious problem with my 11 weeks puppy. She is so small (kleinspitz puppy) and I need to put my hands holding treats lower at her eye level and open my hands as if I need to show her that I have a will to give her treats. She doesn't look at me when I hold up tasty treats even though I let her sniffs then I hold it up, then she lost her interest and not obeying my command at all (even not listening). What can I do to fix this? should I start with eye-contact training with tasty treats?
Other dogs are a big problem for mine. She reacts very aggressively to many of them (usually it's her first reaction, when she gets to know some of them she just wants to play) and it's a big challenge to teach her to focus on me and try to ignore them (or just keep leach respect when observing them).
She's german shepherd mix so people get really scared of her which doesn't make it easier for me oof.
My dog is a pit bull... and a small one at that (52 lbs), and people get scared. He leash pulls and his default reaction is to play, not fight... he wants to play with every other dog and even my cat.
What Cesar Milan.. He is the best..
I had this problem a lot when I first adopted my dog too. Teaching the leave it command helped a lot and anytime she looked at a dog she was rewarded. Now she is at a point where sometimes she reacts and sometimes doesn't. At this point I have started rewarding her for not reacting to other dogs at all. The point is to teach her that not all dogs are bad so rewarding her has helped me.
I've got an aussie, 4 months. Plays catch really good, but the leash, she hates. Tangles up and pulls all the time. This is a good thing to know. Gonna try it
Two questions: (1) My problem is the opposite - my dog just sits down and doesn't seem interesting in walking at all. :( How do I get him excited to walk... or at least actually walking? (2) If you have a small dog/puppy, is there a way to reward them that doesn't involve you bending over sideways the entire time? I feel as though it would hurt your spine to keep that up the entire walk.
in both cases put some peanut butter on the end of a long wooden spoon.
Meeee. My back is killing me😅😂
Would have been helpful if you'd shown how you do the "bump bump" correction with the leash. I think you only gave one very fast example at the beginning of that subject. It was so fast I couldn't catch it.
How do I help a rehomed adult dog who only stayed indoors to walk on a leash? BTW I love all your tips! We changed her name and your tips have helped her know she has a new name!! Thank You So Very Much
Hey I seen a video you guys did and it addressed the puppy wanting to chew on it's leash. I have a 5 month old black lab.
Been doing this with a prong popping it if he is too fast. Really helpful.
great video! my five month puppy so smart that she beat me to sitting healing before I say it just for the treat. I try without treat wow does not want to Pay attention.
I’m watching these before I get my Dog to try and get as prepared as possible.
Same
Did you get your dog How’s he doing ?
Are you still dealing with pulling even when you're standing still? Do you wish your dog had a little more "leash respect"? Here's a video where we teach our dogs to respond as soon as their leash starts to get tight: ua-cam.com/video/tNTKgzdTsV0/v-deo.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
McCann Dog Training My beagle LOVES your tuna/cheese treats! They are THE highest value treats I’ve been able to find.
I love your channel and videos. They really help out me and my 6 month old bernedoodle pup thanks!!
My dog is not food motivated at all. Any suggestions? He is really always pulling and won’t listen at all while out. No eye contact or anything. What’s the best way to alleviate this problem?
@@MrHunksee same here, food motivated at home but never when out, even after missing several meals! Pays great attention at home and easy to train in the home or garden but no eye contact or focus whatsoever whilst out. Nobody ever seems to address these issues.
McCann Dog Training Question, when we start or 7 week old pup to walk on a leash how do I know when to stop to let him sniff to go pee or poop? And do you have a collar or harness you recommend??
Could you do a similar video with a smaller dog breed?
I’m wondering about the fact that I like walking my dog so he can smell the things around him as we walk so I am not sure why to train him to walk a certain way how do I achieve both?
Awesome guidance!
I have had my 37 month old Akita for 3 months. She tries hard to be good but I need to know when she needs to eliminate and when we need the exercise. Our walks try to include both and she is sometimes close and other times pulling and sniffing.
We have a backyard that she can eliminate in. How can I know when she has to go as we are walking rather than being distracted by sniffing and pulling?
I'm an definitely going to try this with my three year old Catahoula/Staffordshire. Can you recommend a video on dealing with dogs who bark and act aggressive towards new people?
Do you only use a collar when loose leash training? Does it help keep them focused?
I have a 4month Great Dane, Bullmastiff, & American Bulldog mix. He pulls extremely hard to the point he kind of chokes himself (this is with a Halti harness) so I'm nervous to only use a collar.
This is a wonderful video. I have Multiple Sclerosis. I have a really independent puppy. Any tips on how to train her to walk on the leash when I use a cane and a walker?
Hi, thank you for the great information. But what about the rest of the time? Do i just let him do what he wants? We can't train our dogs all the time. If i let him relax, would it conflict with the training? Your reponse is greatly appreciated. I'm a newbie, so my question may be a bit sub-par.
Hi! Just found your video this morning and am so excited to start implementing it! But a few questions if you don’t mind? I just rescued a maremma/pyr/Aussie shep/ Keeshond, she’s 4 and has absolutely no training! Won’t sit, stay, come when called, nothing! And she is scared of EVERYTHING! Including my other dog! She was said to be a guard dog and maybe it’s still early but I am not seeing any guarding signs. She’s even scared of my horse... HELP!
I have a six-month-old female German Shepherd who is VERY intelligent. She pulls like a husky in harness. I keep her on a short leash with a hackamore collar and it doesn't make a bit of difference. When I train her at home, she knows it's time to behave and does great, but the moment we are in a different environment like our dog walk class, all bets are off. I've tried every training idea out there and nothing has worked. She knows when to play the game.
Any suggestions with a 3 month puppy who keeps his nose and mouth close to or on the sidewalk, picking up almost anything in his mouth?
Thank you for these tips. Could you address the issue of pulling on a relaxed (sniffing) walk. My dog is ok with heeling, but I would like him to enjoy sniffing and following his nose on part of his walks (in the park on a long line, for example ) But he just completely forgets about me at the end of the line. I would like him to check in with me before he gets to the end of the line or be aware enough of me not to tighten the leash or long line. Is that something that can be taught?
Do you have a initial walk with leash/heel video?
