This channel has big PBS energy and I’m here for it
Omg yessss I remember pbs used to be awesome and educational! Loved pbs when I was a kid.
You’ve unlocked something in I completely forgot existed. Also, Rajiv for syndicated public access television! 🫡💖
PBS is still awesome and educational. Some of the best viewing to be found.
What is PBS?
@@douloureux. A public Access channel on TV in the US - it used to show Mr Rogers, sesame Street, children's educational shows, Opera, ballet, reading rainbow etc.
I don't have a dog but I felt it was important to watch this video twice to fully understand and absorb the majesty of Prince, the most beautiful goodest boy ❤
I was just about to type the same! Rajiv posts, I watch. As simple as that. ❤
🙋🏾♀️ yup
Does anyone know what type of dog Prince is?
AS a human who has been lucky enouph to walk the streets of NYC with Rajiv I can say he is on a mission to whereever he is taking you ..There is a plan that unfolds ... The beautiful spot Prince is resting at was a forthought that made the walk that much nicer ...
Hi Guy!! Lovely to see you here
Hi Guy, Rajiv is the pack leader when you're on his turf in NYC... and then Guy, you become the Wolff pack leader when he's on your territory in CT!
You have a precious friendship with Rajiv. I believe that it is important to have platonic friends who are both younger and older than oneself, to enjoy time learning from each other.
Kind regards from Melbourne Australia.👱🏻♀️❤️
Where is this fountain? I love it! ❤
I don’t even have a dog but I love his videos so much that I’m here to learn!
How many cat people here without a dog watching Rajiv walk this floof ball? 😄… I learned so much about myself in this Video, what is it about Rajiv that I can sit and watch him and not realize how quickly time flies until the video ends…
I think that’s bc he is a decent, honest, intelligent and gifted person who is also comfortable before the camera. And very modest too. Great personality. I would love to have him as a friend. 😊
Some of this is... not well informed... letting a dog sniff is actually an INCREDIBLY valuable part of walking a dog FOR the dog. The primary activity is not just walking, lol. Sniffing is actually more exhausting for a dog that running!
Thank you.
Yes exactly
Walking in front of the dog, you can not see her body signals. This is an exercise for the dog to know the location within your walking area. This is the dog's time to see, hear, and yes, sniff that world! Yes, u r alpha, but a kindness would be to let your dog enjoy her world and walk-stroll, sniff.
That's right. It is a huge part of their daily enjoyment of life.
I was looking for someone to point this out. This video is beautiful but is terrible advice, all style & no substance.
Well done Rajiv and Prince! As a wife to a dog trainer it’s surprising how much of this seems like common sense but yet most of us walk and interact with our dogs incorrectly. Everything you have said is wonderful, especially the part where we need to remember they are animals not human👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your friendship with Prince is very heartwarming. Also, today's thumbnail is stellar!
My grandmother had a dog for 15 years. She never really consciously trained him, never walked him on a leash, never hollered at him just loved him like one of the family & in return he obeyed all her commands very diligently.
In order not to feel guilty about restricting a pulling dog, it can be good to have a goal in mind, like a space where the dog can walk freely and meet with other dogs. So that there he/she can give into its instincts and need for socialization and other things.
Yes! I know that it is important to give dogs time for sniffing. I read that giving a dog 20 minutes of smelling scents is equal to one hour of walking!
@@Patti-1962 that is another good way of calculating how much freedom you can give the dog. Thank you.
@@Patti-1962 when you take that approach, it is important to have clear in your mind WHERE these freedoms are permitted. As Rajiv said, allowing the dog the freedom to take away your leadership, is a bad idea. So you need to be certain of the situations you are in and you may need to ensure exercise by brisker walking between bits of free sniffing.
@@comtaar2245 I just watched a documentary about dogs and had learned about how important it is to let them have a few minutes sniffing. But I also know that I must be the authority in the relationship. I made that mistake years ago when we had a Dachshund. It wasn’t pretty!!🫣
I’m so in love with this boy 😊 any his shows every one loves him 😊 he so smart and loving 😊 do you agree 😊❤
I agree with all of this, but I think the dog should have a place and a pause in the walk at their destination to sniff...picking up a scent and sniffing it is like doggie Social Media, they sniff and 'like' to see who has been there before, check out their 'profile'...and sometimes leave a 'comment' 😄
Haha I love your metaphor! This video can cause more harm than good in my opinion, and it’s no very well informed and complete.
Spot on, as usual, Rajiv!
Sniffing is really important for a dog’s mental health, though. It’s how they experience the world. Not letting a dog sniff on a walk means the walk is for you, not for him.
Yes.
I make sure my dog has sniff walks, but she's still never allowed to pull on the leash. She's super enthusiastic about life and getting dragged around is not safe for me or her, so we train constantly. Bonus: training is also great for her brain and calming.
@@wendywendy3718 that’s so great! That’s the middle ground, and that’s perfect. I was more referring to those owners who walk walk walk and never let their dogs do anything, some are so distracted that they even pull the dog while he is doing his business 😢
Very informative, love this, you need to do one for parents walking their children 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Most of the parents will flunk the test😅
@@mysteriousu5528 😂
I’m a cat person, but thoroughly enjoyed this video. Prince is a cutie.
I’ve watched this at least 10 times now, you are an excellent teacher! I don’t have a dog yet but i want to be prepared to give my future doggy the best life. What Breed is the handsome Prince if you don’t mind me asking? His little face under all that fluff has me smitten! I’m torn because I know so many need adopted/rescued but I can’t resist this little mans charm.
I grew up with and still have only cats. This was all good learning for me! Occasionally I’ll walk a friend’s dog and I now see that I did just about everything WRONG! As always, great video Rajiv! Makes me miss a good long visit to NYC.
This is an excellent primer on dog safety baked into a walk. So many people (with dogs) miss these basic skills resulting in an uncontrolled dog in public spaces. If you love your dog, one must embrace this guidance. I have to say you remind us how beautiful NYC can be in the Fall. 🙏
Prince is so cute and fluffy and I just want to hug and pet and cuddle him! He is so FLUFFFFFFAY!!! 🥰 🤗
Finally! Finally I can correct the most knowledgeable person I know. Rajiv, you are so, so wrong. I wouldn't even elaborate how and how much because Prince is not your dog.
If you buy into the whole alpha-beta theory, you will get a...dog. If you treat your dog's needs gently, caringly like a parent, you will get undying loyalty and complete obedience - even above natural animalistic instinct because the dog will feel like (and will actually be) family.
C.S. Lewis calls them a sentient being when they become imbued with human qualities bc of the way their owner has treated them as part of the family & loved them. He believes they will be in heaven waiting for us.
very dominance based. you loose the essence of dog.
I agree with you. The alpha dog theory was debunked by the researcher who coined it. He regretted that he ever wrote about it, because by the time he realized that he was wrong, the whole world had accepted it already, and even used it for dog training. Someone uploaded the video on youtube, where he explains this. Based on my research, modern dog psychology completely refutes this theory and training "technique" as well. In the official German and Austrian dog training license, they warn against this type of "training", as well.
I usually love your homemaking videos, this one is very different and unexpected. Most canine behavioralists these days agree that the 'wolf pack' approach is inapplicable and outdated. I don't think its necessary to continually assert dominance over dogs. Dogs aren't confused about who is in charge, no creature who shits and eats on someone else's schedule thinks they are in charge. There are so many other, more compassionate, approaches to connect with and live peacefully alongside dogs. Yes, dogs are animals... but so are we! We communicate differently! It takes time and patience and reflection to get to know and understand a dog.
Well said!
Lots of great discussion in comment section. Want to add a comment of concern. I often see owners walking their dog on very hot days. The pavement can be incredibly hot potentially burning the dog’s pads. That hot pavement also reflects back up to the dog and can cause heat stroke especially for small breeds that are close to the reflected heat and breeds with a short nose that lessens their ability to self cool. Bottom line….the cool of early morning or evening for a walk during hot weather may be more comfortable and safer for your dog.
I’ve had my dog for 8 years now and have never considered half of these things. I will be incorporating this into my walks!!
Are you (were you...) going to teach your old dog new tricks??? ;-)
I just don’t know who is the cutest - Rajiv? or Prince? 😂❤xx
I miss walking my dog. Some of my best memories. He knew I was the leader but in my mind he was taking me for a walk so we both learned so much about the woods.
I have 4 Huskies. Previously 7 Labs. Rajiv is right. Whether "you" admit it or not. Dog psychology is a thing. This video is a clear basic understanding of that. 👍👍 I may not implement all of this but it's good advice and I should.
Rajiv is the spiritual successor to Mr. Rogers. Somebody get this man on national television.
Read his book about life of pi
These are all great tips! My parent's dog used to have all of those bad habits before she passed. Whenever I get my own dog, I'll remember this so we can have a happy walking experience.
Thank you for this topic! As a former dog walker my wish is that everyone in the world knew this important information. It can serve as a public service/safety announcement! 😀
I agree completely
Great advice - only one thing missing…..I wish you would have talked a little bit about how great it feels to walk in harmony with a dog!! It’s so blissful!
OMG WHAT KIND OF A DOG IS PRINCE? I'M IN LOVE!
Love this video! The only thing I would disagree with is the sniffing bit. Sniffing is a great mental exercise for dogs and should be highly encouraged during walks! They receive an endless amount of data to process through sniffing!😊
Yeah, came here to say the same. Other than that, lots of good advice! But they really have to be able to sniff… They much more tired (in a good way) after 10 minutes of sniffing than after 30 minutes of just walking. 😊
My dog is a leader from day one 😂he was abandoned from the previous owner when he came to us. Not good with other animals but loves humans. We take him to the mountains and let him run around most of the time. We love him so much even though he is pain in the neck. Love your videos and all you do❤
Lol. I have 3. They absolutely rule me.
You made some really good points. I learned a lot. The only thing that I would say is a little different between me and my dog is that I do let him in front of me a lot however, I do not let him pull me or have control. He knows when he’s in front of me I am still in control. That is very important and must be something the dog is taught.. learns and remembers. I know this is a fact because he was recently attacked when we were out and now whenever we go by that area he always wants to go in front and gently pull me past that area. So this tells me that he is being very respectful when he’s in front of me, however, in this particular area, where he was attacked, which is very understandable, he wants to be in control and I let him because I want him to know that I understand And support him. We have a very close relationship. He has learned lots of words from me over the years and so I can actually communicate with him very well, and I pretend that I understand what he wants too - although that’s not usually the case. As far as going through the door, when we leave for a walk, which we take about three or four times a day, he is always anxious to get through that door first. Also, when I put the leash on him, he never settles down. So your advice on these things was invaluable, and I will immediately start implementing your advice. Thanks and keep up the great work. By the way, everybody loves the name I gave my dog. His name is Teddy Bear. P.S. this is a very shareable video, and I shared it with tons of people.
Rajiv is great and aesthetic, but I hope folks realize dog training is a serious profession requiring certification. Calmness is good and there are some good points, but pack theory has been busted a lot already. This feels outdated and sadly will be misinformation for many people. The majority of the walk is NOT about walking. It is about enrichment and sniffing. This is their need. The walk is for them. Not for the human to be “alpha”
Exactly! Thank you
@bruceli4092
I wonder if we can distinguish between a walk that’s for exercise that should be focused and a walk that is solely for them to stiffen mark their territory
Pro tip - a dog should heel on the handlers left side, so your right hand is free (unless you are left handed) and walk next to you, with neck/shoulders aligned to your leg, not behind you. A “free” walk, the dog can move around freely. Beautiful video but I wish the dog had been shown on the left. ❤ 🐕
I know how to walk my dog, but I still really loved this video. His channel is so simplistic and calming!
It is such a beautiful channel but it encompasses the most profound concepts of a life well lived. 💕💕💕
Rajiv, where do you not engage your dexterities, sensitivities , curiosity and appreciation???!!! You're such an interesting, lovely fellow.
Disagree in this way: Gentleness & more forms of communication are needed when a shift in attention or behavior is needed. A few simple, consistent words of explanation while Gently guiding a dog to shift its attention &/or behavior are appropriate & work beautifully, not yanking or tugging. - The latter only sometimes needed in emergencies when a firm pull keeps a dog from darting into danger or causing it. Dogs learn quickly & most attentively, most keenly from consistent, Gentle Communication. (I also believe Children will yank & tug, inevitably ~ as their interests too will sometimes captivate them. For the same reasons I believe children should not be yanked - in response or otherwise. The only exception, here as well, to prevent a harmful emergency.)
I agree dogs assess who is in charge & when there is a confident leader, they can relax, rather than needing to become the leader.
Yet there are many ways to communicate being calmly aware & managing “the scene”. I appreciate that you named so many (starting new actions from calm; leading steps through doorways; “Checking in” with the pup throughout, etc.).
My concern is too many people get “drunk” with aiming to dominate others. PEOPLE need the emphasis on Training ourselves to find gentle solutions!
I don’t have concerns about you, Rajiv. You’re great & you put care into life. I just disagree with you on this point (yanking) & fear the way some will interpret how to give a dog confidence in us & to enjoy experiencing the dog’s spirit.
Lastly, dogs give us all so much. I think there’s great joy & gifts for all parties in letting human agendas support dogs having their own exploratory time and pace as often as possible!
So glad you’re alive, Rajiv, & love your caring & sharing!! Thank you! & Thanks to patient, sweet Prince. Onward
I just have to say that I love this channel so so much!!! ❤ I love Rajiv's videos so so much and it makes me feel happy and calm watching all the videos ❤❤❤
What good boys- you both deserve a treat!
Lol, this was PERFECT timing for me. We got our first pup a year ago (she turned 1 in Oct.) and for the first probably 9 months we were pretty consistent with her training and especially teaching her to walk properly on her leash..well I don't know exactly when we got lax, but BOY do we all need a refresher 😅 this was a good sign that it's time for us to SHAPE UP😂❤️
Your an expert with dogs too, just love listening too you.
I hope we can get started with this anytime. Usually our dog leads and stops every few steps to sniff. I have been letting him do that and never get the required walk in. Thanks for the detailed procedure! I’m going to leave the door FIRST from now on.
I don’t have a dog nor do I foresee myself walking one, but I watched because as always with Rajiv’s videos, I learn how to do something correctly and elegantly. And this was no exception. Great video!
Precious. AND helpful.
Cute human you are taking on a walk Prince! Let him think he is the leader, but without you he wouldn't go outside.
i don't have a dog either but really enjoy this. Prince is a sweetheart.
Love this Rajiv! My labradoodle knows when he’s on a extended leash and can go freely and smell, verses a 5 ft leash when we go shopping or to the vet and has to stay by my side. Before I got my dog the breeder highly recommended a book that helped me understand the importance of teaching the dog who the Alpha is along with learning to understand a dogs mind. It was very helpful and I wish I could remember it. Great video!
Thank you for sharing this good information. One thing, when walking a dog and approaching a pedestrian please get between the dog and the pedestrian. I was almost bitten by a dog that was too close to me. If it wasn't for my catlike reflexes.😊
I said to the guy you're supposed to be between me and the dog! Avoid an incident this way, keep everybody safe.😊
Just back from walking my dog to find this update!!! Will watch with interest!
Fortunately I don’t have to walk my old lady Whippet on town streets. She loves her sniffs and marking the smells she finds, and I let her as it is her time to read her ‘newspaper’ and find out who has been along the lanes before we were there.
She is easy, but not as well behaved as your Prince
Of COURSE Rajiv made the leash..lol! Great channel/videos and ❤ Prince!
Absolutely on point Rajiv! I care for my granddog every day. She's a 6lb. Chorkie. She had zero leash training when we adopted her. I used these methods and now both me and her are different but it took a long time. Occasionally she'll still try to do what I call "Iditarod me", but I just remind her who's in charge. You have to keep it business with dogs. The affection comes AFTER they do what you want.
Btw, ❤️ Prince, what a sweet floof
Hi Rajiv, I hope this comments finds you in good health and happy spirits. Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I have a happy life, yet quite demanding, always running after the next thing to be done at work and at home. When I find a moment of peace and quiet, I just brew a cup of tea and watch whatever new video you have put or re-watch one of the old ones, and it really helps to take that stress away, very helpful. thanks for your videos!
Would love to see a video on how you made the leash. A leather goods series would be cool, especially with your journal 🙂
Yes!
Excellent. I have had dogs all my life, however I’ve learnt so much now from you Rajiv
A 6 ft leash is a normal length of leash, the looped end held lightly in the right hand, the leash draped across your body, with the dog on the left side, your left hand holding the leash, your arm relaxed by your side. That’s the way vets and trainers walk dogs. Leather leashes are so much more comfortable than nylon ones, and they don’t shred your palm if the dog pulls suddenly. There were great tips here! Especially that your dog is calm when you put the leash on.
I absolutely ❤ the video! Rajeev picks such interesting things to talk about. But, I would never keep a dog unless I have a largish property with a garden, backyard, front yard - the works. I live in a country (INDIA) where there is very little concept of personal space. We barely have enough for humans in a regular city apartment. Inflicting that sense of cramped space on a dog (pack animal) is unimaginable to me.
Omg! The tip about the dog not going through the door first makes soooo much sense! I have a 5 month old whoodle and I’m definitely going to to be doing this.
These are the exact same principles taught by Cesar Millan. Excellent job!!
I learned so much. I can’t wait to walk my dog tomorrow.😊
Just love and care for your dog like a family member, and in due time they will understand what is expected of them. Humans want to control everything forcefully! I am personally not in favor of too much dog training. My pugs and golden retriever were the most well behaved and i never trained them. Just me
Me too. My dogs are not out of control. They are really well behaved. They don't jump on visitors. They are not dragging me on walks. I haven't trained mine either. They are rescues. I pretty much accepted them as is and let them do pretty much what they want within safety & reason. They sniff whatever they want on a walk and go to the bathroom when they want to on a walk. We coexist together enjoying life together.
Lovely surrounds!
THIS FLUFF ❤
Prince is aptly named. Such a beautiful dog. This is great to know, Thank you!
Why did the non-dog owner binge-watch Rajiv's dog video?
Because they heard it's the quickest way to fetch a smile without having to deal with fur-covered furniture!
(non-dog owner here)
I say this all the time! So important for the dogs mental health and the safety of the walk
Literally the best dog walking advice ever given.
This is a beautiful video! Miss NY in fall… This is also an important message I wish my nabour would see. When she is out walking it is the dog that is walking her! The dog is very aggressiv and bite if you get near and I am always worried that it will get loose and come in to our property! As it is a Rotweiler 😬 I grew up with these Lovely dogs but this one I am afraid of not for myself but grandkids and my own little german shepard! ❤
I love your videos, but this one I just laughed. I have four dogs. When you own a dog, then I will watch your video on this topic!
We finally get to see Prince! So fluffy
Such a good boy! And the dog too!
My favourite youtuber, beautifully done! Prince is adorable, he definately likes his treats 🥰
Wow! Rajiv your energy comes through your videos! I love the way you conduct all your videos! Who would have thought I would enjoy a video of how to walk a dog when I don't even have a dog or never intend to walk one ! 😊My kids loved your video too! Keep them coming❤❤
Such excellent cinematography - do you have an assistant cameraman? Your message is so wonderfully transmitted by your superb camera work.
Applaud our wonderful videographer, Luke Rosen!
This the best dog walking video I’ve seen. Many thanks Rajiv.
me & my dog just live as family & friends. there’s no leader, we simply understand each other. As someone who has raised & lived with dogs for a long time, your neighbors dog looks depressed. Maybe interact with the poor dog more than just trying to lead. dogs are concious beings - not just animals as you put it rajiv. you’re engrossed in some fantasy world of your own. I suggest getting a puppy and spending few years with a dog before educating others on how to walk a dog.
100% yes and thank you
Prince is sooooo fluffy and lovely 🥰Love your videos Rajiv! You are great 😊
omg this is the cutest little ruffalo
Such a Goodboi! 🥰
You are a beautiful human and I am inspired to be more like you. Thanks, Rajiv! 😊
If I were walking my dog and bumped into you in the park I would definitely join Mathletes, I’d probably even get us jackets.
You are correct about the door. Same with gates on the farm.
Brrrooooooooooo mad mad love….i m doing way bad in my outfits even after going thru net….I want to see yr thoughts 💭 on this…plz plz make some vids on this one… like formal/ business/ summer formals xyzzzz….much love 💯✌🏼
Beautiful sculpture upon your destination walk and your lesson on this subject was golden, as Prince’s fur🍁 Your videos are a blessing 🍂
You bring me so much joy to watch your videos. My son and best friend in my head and heart. You Bring so much beautiful bright intelligent light into the world. 💖🌟💖
Your dog is so cute!❤
Gosh, these things are SO important. I had the chance to care for a senior dog with lots of querks (some mobility issues, he was obese, he had asthma...) and I've never even had a dog before. IMAGINE THE DISASTER THAT WAS. The dog was bigger than me, so he DEFINITELY had in mind that he was in charge. GOD was I embarrassed when I walked that dog for the week I had to take care of him. Needless to say, we didn't spend that much time together (because of his mobility issues, it became apparent that he couldn't live in an apartment in the 2nd floor with no elevator, so he was moved to a house with a yard. I'm sure his quality of life was 100% better after that). If I had at least half of the information you said on this video maybe that experience wouldn't be as exausting for the both of us
Long time ago I said you should have your own show . Seriously !
Just when I thought your channel couldn't get any better! I am completely obsessed with your channel and also completely obsessed with dog training- never expected these two things to converge :) thanks
Super informative video. You provided such great education for us all and reminded us of things we may not have thought of or needed to be needed to be reminded of. The most important thing is that of us being the one responsible for knowing a dog and their behavior, we are the one's responsible for this animal if they bite or hurt someone. I just sat for a beautiful Labradoodle, and this info would have really helped us both the 3 days I had her.
Love you, love your videos, love the subjects you choose. Interesting video. Prince is adorable and seems like the ideal well-behaved boy to highlight your walking tips. It would have been nice to see you spend just one moment talking about being a responsible dog owner and picking up after your dog. I didn't see you carrying any waste bags or a bag container attached to Prince's leash. You strike me as someone who is ultra-considerate, so you likely didn't think you needed to state the obvious or perhaps NYC has accommodations for such canine needs. Here in MD, judging from the comments on my neighborhood message board, it's a sticky/stinky topic.
it's always great when people remember that when we walk a dog our job is to keep them safe AND to keep others around us safe too. But... I don't think it makes sense to give dog walking advice from someone who doesn't have a dog, and a lot of the theory here isn't in line with modern understandings of how dogs minds and emotions work (I say this having done a degree in animal behaviour). I think if you're talking about 'controlling when they pee and poo' and 'controlling when they sniff' you need to ask yourself, who are you serving when you want that kind of control and why are you trying to stop them doing these basic natural things when they want to? Dogs live in our world and have very little autonomy to make choices for themselves, so preventing them from things like choosing when to potty and sniff is pretty harsh. I know this is all really well intentioned, and it's another charming video with some good pointers, but it's not safe or fair to give direction on something one doesn't actually have enough experience to speak about, when it connects to the welfare of an animal.
beautifully said!!
Could you please make more video’s about dogs 😊
Ong rajiv is a dog whisperer as well!! 😮
rajiv AND dog content? yes please.
This was literally so beautiful.
"putting a leash on calm dog" Very important lesson for me!!
what a striking red colored sweater!
True - I would call it Quinacridone Coral :-)
