So I have a service dog in training and he has a problem of always being a little too far ahead in heel. I watched this video and figured why not give it a try. I tried to prong collar hated it (personally) so I went out and got one today and it worked miracles. Only difference is I don’t do a sharp tug I just stop until he releases the pressure or sits down with my dog I found that’s more effective. Great vid!
Oh man I need this. My 2 year old rescue is a crazy puller on walks and my shoulder is destroyed. I tried pretty much everything. Never seen martingale used like this! Will do on a walk tomorrow!
Prong collars work like a dream for training if used as intended. Something being illegal doesn't make it bad.. In some places, crates are illegal but it looks like you have lots of em. Educate people on how to use tools available, not how to misuse them.
I agree. I use one on my English Mastiff and if used correctly there is little to no chance of pain. He only wears a collar when we are out in public just because he is so friendly but weighes 180 pounds and is a foot stepper and leaner, can't have him knocking kids over!
@@katie5104 I think that anybody using a prong collar should do that. They aren't created equal, some of them are so sharp and uncomfortable. Cheaper collars especially
I have been using a martingale collar on my 5mth old pup with limited success ......just tried this........bloody brilliant ....thank you thank you and thank you
DollyBear X no. I have been working with dogs for years. I own huskies ( aka the most difficult breed ever to train lmao. ) they’re very dramatic and get stubborn very easily. Positive reinforcement is KEY. The second you even use a harsh voice and say sit if frustrated or no when training they’re no longer eager and want nothing to do with it. Lots of treats and praise when something is done right is the way to go and they will learn quick.
Shay Rose my dog don’t act like that and I use a balance method of positive reinforcement for good behaviors and corrections for unwanted behaviors. Your dogs sound like they’ve been abused or have low confidence
The reason he yelped was because the pressure you put caused him a lot of discomfort, I used to do this with my dog and it caused him lots of stress so I think correction is better, he knows what I want from him so he's relaxed
prong collars dont hurt the dog but it is uncomfortable lots of service dog owners use it so when they pull it causes slight discomfort so they dont pull you down unless the dog is for mobility work
@@Suriprofz It doesn't hurt them, and they take the pressure clear off the trachea, if you are an experienced dog trainer. Only a dunce causes a dog pain with them.
This is how the shelter volunteers were walking my lab (in my pic) when I adopted him... he was so shut down emotionally whenever his leash went on that it took months of positive reinforcement to get him to even want to interact with me at all outside. He also had pretty bad scabs behind his armpits from the leash rubbing. Personally what I have found to work the best for strong pullers is 1) exercise before walks, 2) focus exercises in low distraction areas outdoors like the backyard 3) comfy harness, sometimes a headcollar if necessary 4) silky leash technique, teaching the dog to give to leash pressure and any pulling on their part makes us stop instantly (but no leash pops or corrections). Rewarding heeling with or without eye contact with high-value treats makes training even faster. No corrections are needed, and no damage to relationship with your dog! 🙂
@@elibaker8849 Who knows, I just might do that. We'll see! ;) In the meantime, you might be interested in the following videos- one of the best videos I've seen on loose leash walking with distractions: ua-cam.com/video/UNDeaUAiCCQ/v-deo.html And the Mastering Loose Leash Walking Play List ua-cam.com/play/PLL9CA3Yl8kWE629HmcQds4dF2XsJYPsiJ.html BTW, one of my favorite tips for recalls with distractions, apart from practicing in gradually increasing distracting environments, is to practice a recall off an object. You start with a low-value object or treat that the dog isn't very interested in (toilet paper tubes work great), throw it and ask them to go get it. About 25% of the time, call them to you before they reach it, and if they come without going for the item, reward like crazy. Then switch to gradually more valuable items like a toy or treat they *kind of* like, but obviously isnt their favorite, and work your way up to their absolute favorite things. Its a great skill for dogs to learn, especially when you practice in lots of different locations, and really helps to cement a solid recall. :)
Prong collars aren’t harmful if used correctly, please do your research before spreading rumors, the trainer I have has used it once to teach heel and my dog didn’t like the small shock (very weak shock collar) more than she even noticed the prong collar, it puts a very gentle push on their neck the same as a normal collar would it just is more direct
As he showed you can hurt or improperly use any Dog Training tool. There’s no bad dogs there’s bad owners. A cruel owner can hurt with any tool. What tools work with different high drive to very docile dogs will differ. It’s not the tool it’s who’s using it & their intention. If your intent is to use your tools for correction by using pain don’t train a dog get trained first.
This looks so much more uncomfortable then a prong..... its under the armpits wears there's thin skin and clearly pinched the puppy. Never had a dog yelp with a prong.... but had harness that rid up the armpits make dogs yelp...so I don't like that idea at all
it depends on the dog in my opinion. some dogs do well with the prong collar some don’t…some dogs do well with this method some don’t but i do agree with you on how the placement under the armpits might’ve pinched the puppy
I’m gonna try just collar or and see if my dog will quit pulling. She’s a boxer and she will not wear a prom collar. She shuts down she will not move until you take off of her.
Question.. so, when using it this way with the leash wrapped around the dog's upper body, when you pull up on the leash does the dog still feel the leash pressure around the neck as they do when using it the regular way?
Pretty ridiculous the animals in the background in regards to noise. You wish to mention cortisol and stress but lack of attention and care to the animals we hear within the video, shame on you.
Prongs, I’m my opinion should be used as a last resort because they are easily misused ( even unintentionally ) and their are other tools that aren’t as easily misused such as this method of using a martingale.
My puppy came home on Sunday. Walking him has been a killer on my back. I am so glad I came across this. Here November 2020. Thank you!
The echo from the room, and the constant barking in the background makes this so hard to watch.
This seems like a stressful situation. Why are there so many barking dogs? Hell I feel stressed listening.
Amazing video! Made a night and day difference!

Why don’t you wear one and see how painless it is?
@@RandomHud I checked how it felt on my neck and arm. It's painless. The prongs are blunt.

@@kiwi6421 Herm Springers are not sharp
the barking in the back is freaking my greyhound out.
😂😂😂

. I feel stressed watching this whole video including how the dog is handled … so idk how this puppy managed learning anything …
Correction training actually gets the best results if you know how to do it, you have to tell the dog when it's wrong

😂😂😂😂 it’s to correct the dog 🤦♀️

Mate, get a microphone. You have 2 cameras filming but nothing to improve sound quality? barking dogs in the background
the dogs in the background and the echo make this video hard to watch
I didnt even notice it until I read your post now I cant un-hear them lol
Just what I wrote. 👍

it does hurt and is forbidden almost everywhere

Good job spreading misinformation on the prong collar! =]
Bullshit. He’s absolutely correct.
@@RandomHud he’s not…it depends on the dog. it can be a very great and useful tool if used correctly and properly
Be nice to be able to hear you instead of all those dogs yapping
Wait what?! Prong collars do not hurt?! I’m down to use other kind of collars etc but this is misinformation.
Is there any command that you associate with walking like this? If they started pulling is there a command for them to walk loose?
Heel command. Teach it to your dog
Dogs don’t speak English. The command could be “potato” for all the dog cares. There isn’t a magic command
I think this poor puppy is trying to say, “shut up already and lets just go outside, I need a pee anyways”!
My god the audio is awful. I really need to learn about this collar - if anyone has found one with good audio please let me know.
Prong collars aren’t harmful if used correctly, please do your research before spreading rumors, the trainer I have has used it once to teach heel and my dog didn’t like the small shock (very weak shock collar) more than she even noticed the prong collar, it puts a very gentle push on their neck the same as a normal collar would it just is more direct
This video is awesome, it exactly shows how to use the Martingale collar. I and my puppies Yuri and Lara thank you !
How do I stop the marking? My female marks constantly everywhere all the time.

How did I not find you sooner? You’re one of the clearest, to-the-point yet informative trainers I’ve watched! Thank you!
I want to watch this but the audio is so bad I can't.
....
Absolutely NOT how to use the martingale collar...
Thanks for showing the correct way to put the leash behind the front legs.
I’m gonna try just collar or and see if my dog will quit pulling. She’s a boxer and she will not wear a prom collar. She shuts down she will not move until you take off of her.
Question.. so, when using it this way with the leash wrapped around the dog's upper body, when you pull up on the leash does the dog still feel the leash pressure around the neck as they do when using it the regular way?
Jamie Braxton its kind of like a seatbelt.. the pressure will be distributed evenly where ever the leash and collar rests
No and this is NOT how you use this collar
Hey there what breed of dog is this? It’s adorable.
I don't see why the leash goes through the loop
To apply pressure to the neck and body simultaneously.
Lol
Does this work on older, larger dogs?
Good tips. Hopefully the other videos don’t have a dog barking in the back. Hard to hear yo talking.
Nice love it
We tried this method (collar under both armpits) with limited success. With the lead under one armpit, it worked beautifully.
Is there a video on how to do your technique so I can see?
Pretty ridiculous the animals in the background in regards to noise. You wish to mention cortisol and stress but lack of attention and care to the animals we hear within the video, shame on you.
Disliked for disinformation on prong collars.
None of that info on prong collars is correct lol if a prong collar is applied correctly it applies equal and even pressure just like a martingale
Prongs are a good training tool. Your small minded for bashing a tool as a dog trainer.
forbidden for a reason
Prongs, I’m my opinion should be used as a last resort because they are easily misused ( even unintentionally ) and their are other tools that aren’t as easily misused such as this method of using a martingale.
