Hey, if you're working on this with your dog and having a difficult time I have to say it will improve with more times and more tries. My pup has been pulling on the leash like she's on a mission. It was very difficult to practice outside because she was extremely overstimulated. So I tried practicing on neighborhood walks but her prey drive for cats made her always on alert pulling to check every yard or car for cats. And if she had to sit still for even a minute she'd whine until we moved again. I had just about given up and decided she's just gonna be pulling where ever we go and there's no winning. It didn't help that I felt embarrased to try new techinques in public and worry that i looked foolish. But eventually after months and now that my pup is a year old, I think things have finally begun to click. After trying different video methods, I have to say this one works best for me and my dog. It was hard at first but I decided to not take difficulty from her personally and to kept trying so that I could replace those bad days with good onesz even if it was just a minute of loose leash walking. For the most part now my dog will walk loose leash. Walks are so much more enjoyable together since we're no longer constantly battling each other. The only way to get better in your training is to actually put what you watch into practice. I do have the bad habit of binging a lot of good videos and gain a lot of new tips but it's easy to get overloaded with info and give yourself false expectations of your dog and yourself. Just start where you are and keep tryinf eventually it'll click and progress will happen. Wishing much improvement and good experiences with your dog!
I love how you point out the good things the owner does while gently explaining how he can improve his handling. So many trainers I watch spend a lot of time correcting the owner instead of supporting and encouraging them the way you do. To me that shows you are self confident, knowledgeable and in the moment. You are a great example of what I wish more people could understand. Your techniques apply to life just as much as dog training.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Of all the canine education channels yours is by far the most under rated. Clear information while explaining not just what to do but WHY you do it and how to do it in a way that maximizes the dogs success rate to keep things as fair as possible. There are plenty of gifted trainers that use the similar methods but are poor at communicating why. Then worse there are so many trainers that harshly "correct" their dogs in way that's more punative than communicative. I want the dog to want to do it because they learned this new behavior is fun and rewarding. Not because they're afraid they'll get popped again if they don't. Love your work and I greatly appreciate the podcasts too! Keep it up! This is the sort of information the dog world needs.
To think there’s people who think this man’s training is unsound or abusive in any way blow my fricking mind….. This is ART people. The Picasso of dog communication, understanding & psychology. Behold and be awed.
I’m in the UK and am subscribed to Robert’s channel. I have a Malinois who has just turned 1 and what a dog this is. I grew up with GSD’s and a Mali is on another level, so intelligent and such a willing learner. On a walk this morning another dog was heading our way and our dog was watching and ready to go and whoosh she’s gone, one whistle and she’s back at my feet sitting. Top dog and totally amazing. But, these are not dogs to think it’s just gonna sit still and lay there all day long, they need plenty of stimulation.
Very nice! Excellent. I make it an end goal to always "loose" leash walk with the dogs while they check in every now and then. Thank you Robert. You are a pleasure to watch.
I made using only right turns, but Google Maps had a hard time keeping up with all the rerouting. At one point the app asked “Are you even listening to me?“
Awesome videos I have an 12 week old German shepherd and trying to leash train her out of all the videos I have watched on you tube I found yours to be the most helpful and informative. Thank you for the helpful tips
It sounds like Roberts sponsored by "Walkman" now, next he will give the casual "blockbuster" name drop. In all seriousness these videos are super helpful, thank you for what you do.
Such a lovely looking dog. One of my old pack always was at the end on her lead/leash and I would just drop it and she would come back, pick up the handle and put it in my hand. : ). Miss them all so much. Thanks Robert : )
I'm struggling with leash waling and the ff method I learned hasn't been helping. I want to find a good balanced trainer in my area to help me improve the walk and show me the most appropriate collar/training tool for her. These tips are so much better than what I was taught. I'll practice this. my leash is 6 feet.
Just came across this vid and u answered one question i couldn’t find in other vids.. i teaching my dog focused heeling and i always wondered if i can teach him a normal heel(everyday walking outside) and u said that it is possible. I thought its only one or the other so thank u!
Hi Robert! Greetings from Greece! I just bought a prong collar 2.25mm and I am training my 11 months old female malinois according to your videos with Max. I also bought the fur saver 3.0mm choke chain. What type of training does this type of collar needs other than correcting on a long line when the dog is far away and gradually decrease the distance? Thank you because my malinois is very well behaved because of your advices! I have been listening to you since I took her 7 weeks old. You are the BEST👌 !!! THANK YOU
Love watching Robert train, I wish I had come across your channel earlier when my Belgium shephard was a puppy.But she is so clever I've started your way.wish you could do shows in London England 🇬🇧
You make it look so easy! :) I have 2 Great Pyrenees. Not sure if ill ever get them that focused! At least my boy doesn’t pull on the leash anymore. Getting a Mal puppy next month. He’ll probably be easier in some things.
Love your training because it is so BALANCED. U are unique among all the trainers on Utube. Question: what if I have a small dog that wears harness (not collar) and she doesn't care about corrections. I correct her she comes then the same 2sec after... she is just "ok you pull I come, then I go off again". I did the same for whole 20min..didnt get the point. I also tried stopping...turning the other way..the same thing repeats to other direction
I’d consider a firmer correction and more praise when she does it right. Work her between pleasure and discomfort. Reward abundantly for doing the right thing. Short, firm correction for disobedience.
I have learned so much from you’re videos, the quality of teaching is excellent. I am struggling with my 2 yr old shepherd with extreme noise fear. Garbage trucks trailers. Very difficult to get him outside until the suns down. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏
Hi Robert, just subscribed. I'm 57, I grew up with dogs cats and horses. After leaving home I didn't have a 'pet' for 15 years until my girlfriend->wife's dog 'momo' who passed away at 16, ten years ago now, soon after we had our first child. We will probably get a Shiba-inu from a shelter (to start), but I have had my heart set on a Malinois ever since I met one (very rare here in Japan) a few years ago. Your videos have been invaluable, and I am starting to think Beauceron or Tervuren rather than Malinois, but here in Japan they are so rare it's going to be hard to find a good match.
Im so envious of those people who get to train with you! Im in awe of your energy with those dogs and biggest wish for my pup is to find someone with as much benevolence as you to coach me in the training of my Malinois puppy. In the meantime i am practicing all of your guidance from the videos on your website. But yeah i am jealous of them 😅
Any advice on leash pulling for a hunting dog (Bracco Italiano)? He's always sniffing around, nose on the ground. So whenever you correct him or walk another direction, he just puts his nose on the ground and starts pulling and sniffing in that other direction. The dog trainers at our dog classes have tried many times and gave us lots of tips ... but non of them have worked so far (not even when he's walking with the trainers). So any other advice is more than welcome.
Am I the only one that was like “that’s it?!?” I expected something really complicated but this makes so much sense and you made it look so easy. Can’t wait to try this with my 11 month old rottie!
You need to spend time training and keeping the dog engaged. But there are ways. You may need a friend to help out. But it will be tough. The other 16 hours will be very full.
My 5 month old boxer is amazing on the walks, I use a sl ip lead and try not to overwhelm her. I have started to bring her into the city for socialization, and I noticed her getting more distracted. Should I move up to a prong ? Is she too young? She understands leash pressure, so I don't think the prong would be too much of a change. I have used prongs in the past, but the dogs were way older. Thanks
Exactly right i too caught him saying that. He instantly took me to 80s, me saving pocket money to buy Sony walkman, after crying lot asking my father to buy me one.
I bounce a tennis ball when I want a dog to focus on me. I stop when a dog pulls. That lead has to be loose before i will move. I go over simple tricks during a distraction to make it fun.
I'm a long time dog walker. If there's anything I've learned about this subject. Get a dog that is 1. high on the intelligence list scale and/or 2. get a dog that is smaller than the average dog. 3. use a Martingale or prong type collar.
tried teaching my Malinois X (Sig but we call her Siggy lol!) tried teaching her to do this and she was doing it and a rabbit ran across the road and she dragged me to the ground on a gravel road and made me get stitches do you have any ways to stop dogs from chasing animals? or ways to get them to stop faster? Because she dosen't listen to commands Sig is 8 months old Malinois X Injury happened 5 days ago and hurt like a bitch
I've been trying loose leash walking with this technique but every bit of progress I make with our 8 month doodle goes out the window when my husband takes her out (in fact the dog takes my husband out, she's a very zoned out puller). The same goes for recall and getting overly excited meeting other dogs. I keep trying to explain to him he needs to stop rewarding the pup for total disobedience but he just says he wants the dog to enjoy being out, then I say let her enjoy outside on your terms, but he never does, it's been exhausting training my puppy but I will never give up coz she's very precious and I know we will get there, currently limiting the amount of walks my husband gets taking the dog out 😁
yea so this wont work.. i know from experience unfortunaly... you need to teach your husband the ropes. show him these vids and try to explain clearly why or what to him. She is 8 months now, try to have your husband involved as soon as possible. i hope he will understand!
@@WitchOnABroomstick she's just over 10 months now and things have improved a lot, great improvement on recall but still a lot of pulling, I've explained things to my husband and asked for his full cooperation, he's struggling but I still take most of the responsibilities training out puppy, things are definitely getting better 👍🙂
@@adunzoroq33 ohh thats great to hear Agun! Im happy you were able to kind of push him down the line haha. and i think its certainly better for you to train the puppy indeed.. You know, you might wanna train her with 'Foodtraining'. Training a hungry dog is best! I do it now with my 14 month malinois, we are at the very beginning. For pulling (mine is also lunging attacking barking and biting) i use a Halti Halter, she is unable to use her body weight against me to pull. this way you might can teach her to walk next to you (I do see improvement!) I rescued this dog and she's with me for only 6 days, unfortunaly she has never been socialized so im having alot of work on her..
Husband is an idiot. Sorry. If the dogs pulling for others... The training isn't effective. At 10 months.. you should be well past simple heeling and walking on a leash.
No prong needed just training to walk at a heel, like he said the dogs not stupid, and yes all dogs are different some may benefit from one but you can see he doesn't have one on
I call this the seeing eye human. People do this with horses too. They don’t give the animal the skill and responsibility of focus and it negatively affects other aspects of their life together.
My 7 week old Malinois puppy bites a lot, and I’m trying to train him but his mind is just on bite bite bite, I play with him for sometimes 4 hours a day, trying to redirect him to toys, but his schedule is sleep, pee poop, bite eat, is it’s hard to do training exercises when the only time he is awake he’s trying to bite my hands.
I appreciate the video and the information, BUTTTTTTTT, I have seen this behavior before, the owner is not getting the attention/ closeness that the instructor is obtaining. Dog treats in jacket left pocket would be my guess or this pup has done this prior with this instructor.
This is not helpful to me. My dog pulls like crazy from the moment we are out of the house. And doesn't pay attention to me. Is tyere a video somewhere about dealing with easily distractable fog? Ziggy is very well behaved, mine is not
What do you do with a Mal who thinks the leash is for tugging! It doesn’t matter where it’s connected on her halter or collar, as soon as she get ahold of it, it’s tug of war! I have stopped walking, and ignored her attempts to play, but she just keeps at it as if She is playing alone. I have tried correcting with firm “no”, I have grabbed the halter and lifted her up to see if she will drop it. Nothing seems to work! It really makes training hard because she is also a runner. I might also add, she was adopted from the shelter and they tell me she is a yr old. Not positive on her age, she still has a lot of gator to her Mal.
What I do when my 2 Malinois do this is I start running, they will immediately let go and run with me or actually in front of me trying to stop me from running away. 🤷♂️ it seems to work. The weird thing is that they only do this when we go through a crosswalk, I have no idea why.
If you’re holding the leash, she’s not playing alone! Try using 2 leashes - when she grabs the leash, just take hold of the other leash and let go of one she’s tugging (with you). Do this quietly and calmly. Also, teaching a calm “let go” behavior will help, but I wouldn’t rely on just that or you’ll be constantly telling her to let go let go. Also, teach her that tug happens with specific toys and never the leash; at home in a fenced yard for safety, put the leash on, immediately present the tug toy and engage her on it. Pick up the leash while she’s tugging the toy. If she grabs the leash, immediately drop it and walk away. After a minute, repeat. Every time she grabs the leash, drop it so tug doesn’t happen, walk away briefly then re engage her with the toy.
@@Junonino Thank you, I tried to redirect by running and all she does is plant her feet and tug harder! I’m going to try walking with her favorite toy in her mouth.
So my dog is 2 and he pulls so hard that I can barely handle him. One time he pulled so hard he flipped me. I currently use a vest to walk. Should I use something else. I really need help with this.
Hi Robert, I am having the worst time with a 3 month old male Shiba Inu. I have NEVER had a pup that is such an aggressive nipper!!! I have tried everything in my arsenal, but nothing works!!! And, just yesterday, he started humping!!! I've also never seen a dog this young do that. Help a girl out?? Time is of the essence. Thanks
you're just saying don't put a pressure on the leash and thats ok. I already do not do that, my dog just starts running, jumping outta nowhere. Doesnt really matter if u put a pressure or not. This was not really useful
The owner is constantly checking on the Dog, looking down to see where the Dog is. He should be head up and chest out, the Dog should be going on the owner's walk not the other way around.
You really contradict your self. To talk about a heel and the dog having to continually watching you. Yet when you so call walk the dog your forcing him to watch you. It is BS to force people to go yo your site.
Abusive bullshit as always. You mess up every dog, even dogs with high Willtoplease like this Mali. You definitely do not understand how to reinforce behavior.
listen... I've been nice ignoring you up to now, mainly because I feel sorry for you. The irony, a person who has a "wolf hybrid" talking about abuse! SERIOUSLY, anyone who knows anything about behavior or kindness to animals would NEVER breed a wolf and a dog. Your dog is not a wolf... and you are not a trainer.
Sry but this video is kinda pointless. Or at least far from what the title suggests. We're dealing with a well trained well behaving dog that already knows heel. You can't start up with a dog and expect him to be like that just cause you put no pressure on the leash

That dog was an angel even BEFORE the training. My 18 week GSD/dutchie puppy is pulling like a malamute!
Get a prong collar, slip lead, Halti.. Will work wonders.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Of all the canine education channels yours is by far the most under rated. Clear information while explaining not just what to do but WHY you do it and how to do it in a way that maximizes the dogs success rate to keep things as fair as possible.
There are plenty of gifted trainers that use the similar methods but are poor at communicating why.
Then worse there are so many trainers that harshly "correct" their dogs in way that's more punative than communicative. I want the dog to want to do it because they learned this new behavior is fun and rewarding. Not because they're afraid they'll get popped again if they don't.
Love your work and I greatly appreciate the podcasts too! Keep it up! This is the sort of information the dog world needs.
To think there’s people who think this man’s training is unsound or abusive in any way blow my fricking mind…..
This is ART people. The Picasso of dog communication, understanding & psychology. Behold and be awed.
So many trainers on YT use shock collars, nice to see it isn't the first thing this trainer jumps to. They're being banned in ireland

Super point about the leash pressure contributing to the dog being able to disengage from the handler!
I love the diagnosis of mistakes and ways to address them. Thank you. This is an invaluable video.
Very good lesson. It also illustrates the principle: project what you want the dog to do (follow you on a loose leash) and just do it. )
Thanks Robert! The intro at the beginning and narration here and there explaining what’s happening is a nice addition too!
Thank you. It’s my plan to continue with that format
Very easy to understand videos.

Get rid of the harness. It gives the dog the advantage. Harnesses are for people that aren't willing to train their dog to heel and walk on as leash.
Ziggy is pretty

If the dogs pulling for others... The training isn't effective. At 10 months.. you should be well past simple heeling and walking on a leash.
What type of collar?? Does he have a prong on? Seems highly responsive to the correction on the longer lead..
No prong needed just training to walk at a heel, like he said the dogs not stupid, and yes all dogs are different some may benefit from one but you can see he doesn't have one on
What type of collar is Ziggy wearing in this video? Also, I very much like your training vest do you sell them?
he's wearing a martingale. Vests are coming soon... check my site for updates: robertcabral.com
I call this the seeing eye human. People do this with horses too. They don’t give the animal the skill and responsibility of focus and it negatively affects other aspects of their life together.
Can I re-train my 14 month mali from preassure walking to loose leash? Or is it too late to fix this 😥
Fully respect but show to everybody with 3 moths old boy !
My 7 week old Malinois puppy bites a lot, and I’m trying to train him but his mind is just on bite bite bite, I play with him for sometimes 4 hours a day, trying to redirect him to toys, but his schedule is sleep, pee poop, bite eat, is it’s hard to do training exercises when the only time he is awake he’s trying to bite my hands.
so so nice
I appreciate the video and the information, BUTTTTTTTT, I have seen this behavior before, the owner is not getting the attention/ closeness that the instructor is obtaining. Dog treats in jacket left pocket would be my guess or this pup has done this prior with this instructor.
this owner only know right turns lol
This is not helpful to me. My dog pulls like crazy from the moment we are out of the house. And doesn't pay attention to me. Is tyere a video somewhere about dealing with easily distractable fog? Ziggy is very well behaved, mine is not
Check my long line video as well as my prong collar videos.
@@RobertCabralDogs thank you, I will.
What do you do with a Mal who thinks the leash is for tugging! It doesn’t matter where it’s connected on her halter or collar, as soon as she get ahold of it, it’s tug of war! I have stopped walking, and ignored her attempts to play, but she just keeps at it as if She is playing alone. I have tried correcting with firm “no”, I have grabbed the halter and lifted her up to see if she will drop it. Nothing seems to work! It really makes training hard because she is also a runner. I might also add, she was adopted from the shelter and they tell me she is a yr old. Not positive on her age, she still has a lot of gator to her Mal.
What I do when my 2 Malinois do this is I start running, they will immediately let go and run with me or actually in front of me trying to stop me from running away. 🤷♂️ it seems to work. The weird thing is that they only do this when we go through a crosswalk, I have no idea why.
If you’re holding the leash, she’s not playing alone! Try using 2 leashes - when she grabs the leash, just take hold of the other leash and let go of one she’s tugging (with you). Do this quietly and calmly. Also, teaching a calm “let go” behavior will help, but I wouldn’t rely on just that or you’ll be constantly telling her to let go let go. Also, teach her that tug happens with specific toys and never the leash; at home in a fenced yard for safety, put the leash on, immediately present the tug toy and engage her on it. Pick up the leash while she’s tugging the toy. If she grabs the leash, immediately drop it and walk away. After a minute, repeat. Every time she grabs the leash, drop it so tug doesn’t happen, walk away briefly then re engage her with the toy.
@@DeenaMorando thank you I’ll try this!
@@Junonino Thank you, I tried to redirect by running and all she does is plant her feet and tug harder! I’m going to try walking with her favorite toy in her mouth.
@@rarity9788 Best of luck!
I want buy Belgium Shepherd puppy
Robert, what kind of vest are you wearing? I'm trying to decide what's a good training vest.
this is my design. I will be taking pre-orders in mid/late November 2021. Well worth the wait. nothing like it!
@@RobertCabralDogs please sign me up or put me on the wait list for one please.
It looks like the dog (and a smart one here) waits for/expects clear directions... that never come firmly and unequivocally.
I know I may sound dumb but what breed of dog is that and how old is he
I think the vest is the hidden secret we are all looking for
I can never stop Saber getting his nose to the ground, he has always been that way since he was a pup. No matter what I do nothing works
I'm having similar issues with my Mal
Correct. Firmly. Done properly you should only have to do it 2-3 times max.
So my dog is 2 and he pulls so hard that I can barely handle him. One time he pulled so hard he flipped me. I currently use a vest to walk. Should I use something else. I really need help with this.
harnesses are the worst idea...
@@RobertCabralDogs what leash and collars do you recommend?
To me that dog is well disciplined on a leash my dog is all over show pulling and tugging lol

When my dog knows we are Walking to the park to run, he pulls so hard wanting to get there quickly
Hi Robert, I am having the worst time with a 3 month old male Shiba Inu. I have NEVER had a pup that is such an aggressive nipper!!! I have tried everything in my arsenal, but nothing works!!! And, just yesterday, he started humping!!! I've also never seen a dog this young do that. Help a girl out?? Time is of the essence. Thanks
mmm. what is your point please???
Training the handler is the hardest part
🇺🇸🤙🏾❤️
you're just saying don't put a pressure on the leash and thats ok. I already do not do that, my dog just starts running, jumping outta nowhere. Doesnt really matter if u put a pressure or not. This was not really useful
You are so kind and intelligent in your approach . wow. I hope you know Jesus Robert. If not you need to , He made you so special! Peace!
“Listening to my walkman.”…..you’re dating yourself Robert
Shorten the leash with a shorter leash
This is a search leash
The owner is constantly checking on the Dog, looking down to see where the Dog is. He should be head up and chest out, the Dog should be going on the owner's walk not the other way around.

You really contradict your self. To talk about a heel and the dog having to continually watching you. Yet when you so call walk the dog your forcing him to watch you.
It is BS to force people to go yo your site.
Where is the drooling panting horse pulling dog that u used to click bait folk. This dog is already trained ffs.Total scam
Too many words.
Abusive bullshit as always. You mess up every dog, even dogs with high Willtoplease like this Mali.
You definitely do not understand how to reinforce behavior.
listen... I've been nice ignoring you up to now, mainly because I feel sorry for you. The irony, a person who has a "wolf hybrid" talking about abuse! SERIOUSLY, anyone who knows anything about behavior or kindness to animals would NEVER breed a wolf and a dog. Your dog is not a wolf... and you are not a trainer.
Sry but this video is kinda pointless. Or at least far from what the title suggests. We're dealing with a well trained well behaving dog that already knows heel.
You can't start up with a dog and expect him to be like that just cause you put no pressure on the leash
I've shown this and similar techniques on green dogs in my shelter work. If you watch the lesson, you'll see it actually does work.
Actually 3 right turns will equate to one left turn. So yes you can probably get to Chicago making only right turns.
