I rewatch this video as a good reminder that working with my rescue dog will take patience and repetition with lots of indoor training as we grow our relationship and trust. It also reminds me to chill, slow it down and breath.
I found your channel at the perfect time. My dog had to be completely retrained. Using your methods (over the last month) I have more confidence in my handling, but I'm also seeing my boy have confidence in my leadership. My husband wanted to get rid of him or put him down due to our dog turning on him and he suffered a significant bite. Your guidance and skills have saved his life. Beyond grateful for your content.
Hands down you’re not only one of the best trainer in a business but also a great explainer
My dog has a very strong heel. We train a lot he is actually my service dog so we need to adhere to a high standard. But one of my favorite things that is also fun is after the dog starts to understand heel and loose leash walking I play a game to increase the attention on me. I like to stop really fast or slow down really fast and see how quickly he takes to respond and if he's paying attention and I make it fun and a game. If he isn't paying attention sometimes he may get a little leash pop or a verbal correction using a correcting tone but keeping it light hearted always, then when he does get some good stops and paying attention he gets a reward which is either lots of praise and laughs and sometimes a treat. If you make it fun the dog will want to participate and it really can be anything as long as your showing happy emotion and being connected in the activity. Once you create a bond your dog won't really care what it is if your having fun. Another good thing to practice is lots of speeding up and slowing down, dogs have a hard time walking slowly and matching a person's pace sometimes so it takes practice it's really good to spend a lot of time slowly moving and changing speeds. Holding heel with inside turns and outside turns also builds this skill
Thank you. I started training dogs two months ago after watching your videos. A few of my friends are already thankful. keep up the good work.
I loved this! Such a clear direct guidance for the human as well as the dog. You could see the happy engagement from Oz almost from the 1st seconds. When you slowed the walking pace his little fluffy legs were visibly staying lifted for longer to reduce his speed. So fabulous to watch. I am definitely going to practice this much more with my hound 😊 🐾🐾🐾
This reminded of a video I saw from an R+ trainer about reactivity/loose leash walking! Boy, I think she finished the whole pouch in like 5min just shoving treats every second😅 My point is.. yours is the opposite and it’s awesome 👊🏼
I think this is the BEST video of yours I've ever seen. And the perfect video i need right now and picks up where I've gone wrong. Thank you!
Wow, really? Thanks!
Thanks! Just for clarification, when you say "pay the dog" you are not actually giving him the treat? He gets to smell it and lick it? It's not till you "break" and toss the treat does the dog actually get to eat a treat?
Best foundational video I’ve ever seen!! Thanks so much for breaking down a simple yet complex series of behaviors. Thanks - you are the best!
Thanks for watching! :)
So helpful! I love how clearly you explain things - and explain why.
Truly the best in my opinion… not the “positive only” stuff- while still being kind & loving and not overdoing things or being aggressive. A true dog lover & it shows. I’m so glad I found these videos
Im pretty sure the my dog bites hat is the best thing I could ever get ahold of 😂😂 We need a "No, you can't pet my dog" hat lol
I was just thinking of watching one of your videos on this subject because I’m having difficulty with my dog paying attention to me on walks/heeling. Really good tips and how to frame our expectations.
You’re amazing and a blessing to dog owners 💛
Always enjoy your videos. They are so informative.
It can be helpful to exercise the dog prior to a structured walk because the extra energy that contributes to distraction is lowered. They will naturally fall in heel position or slightly behind.
I have a full grown blood hound been thru formal training interested in prong collar training 😄
I’m also a dog trainer and you are the most like me in your style of training minus using the e collar. But I really love your methods nevertheless. You’re great and I appreciate trainers who actually do LOVE dogs! Excellent work from one dog trainer to another! ❤️🐶❤️
I do need a GOOD slip leash and I can’t find one that doesn’t slide down because they all have the leather thingy that does not stay in place. I like yours with the button that you push but yours are all sold out. Do you know when you’re getting them in again?
The way you break it all down is quite genius 💖
I have some issues with my 4month puppy healing but this video really gives the best treats
So much undoing to do, so glad I stumbled on this video. I started training my dog in 2017, and a lot of the things I did in highschool were tv dog trainers (not bad, just not the best either). The sitting in front, the paying immediately, the look at me. All good on paper, but watching how it looks from someone else makes so much sense why it wasn't 'working.'
Thank you Tom and crew!! Nice job Ozzie!!
Thank you! This is a super helpful video. We started working with a trainer last week and are starting with leash walking/heel command. This helped me realize I need to be more patient and celebrate the small improvements - and find a more controlled environment to work in.
Great video! I've needed this video for Mia and I. Thanks Tom! Best wishes for a great New Year. 👍❤️🐾
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS…NICE CLEAR EXPLANATION
THANK YOU 🙏
Fantastic training video!!
Thank you soooooo much, I needed this🥰
Extremely helpful video, thank you
This is so helpful and informative! Thank you!!❤
This was SO AWESOME!
Suuuper helpful, thank you!! 🙌🏽
Great technique, thanks for sharing.
Awesome again with such precise directions. It works if you do like Tom said take your time and practice lots without distractions and use all the positive feedback for the dog! Love, love, love NBD training.
Very informative! Thank you!
Your one of the top trainers ❤ .
My australian shepherd is an amazing dog who knows a variety of commands (sit, lay, bang, heel, shake, other paw, speak, whisper, spin, etc) and is pretty well behaved...except when it comes to jumping on friends and family coming over, and pulling on the leash. Just started the video and already know how valuable this info is going to be. So im gonna go ahead and say thank you Tom lol. Much appreciated my friend
Awesome teaching! I finally understand how to engage my dog in paying attention to me even if food is not around. And love how you are spacing the training in small sets for the dog to learn better, and most importantly to stay realistic about our dog learning. Becoming a steady viewer of your training videos. 😊
Love watching your videos. They are very informative and have made me better at handling my dogs. I have two Labs and a Corso that I recently found and rescued. He needs to learn to focus on me (a little more independent than my Labs) and I think this video is just what I needed to improve that.❤
SO MUCH FREE GAME. Thank you
Dear colleague Tom Davis, from across the ocean, I send my compliments for another great video.
Oh and thanks for the links to the products you're using
10:40 😂😂 You literally just answered my questions. You’re the best, Tom 😊
My dog loves watching your videos
Just such a brilliant video 🙏🙏🙏
I just wanted to let you know that I used this video to teach my dog iContact, it was a game changer he now looked at me here sit here stay, when I walk him and I say he’ll he looks at me and he heals and walked right alongside me. You could’ve never told me that that iContact was so important with your dog. God bless you and thank you so much. I’m going to watch her other videos for other tips. Happy new year
As always, Tom. Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻 8:53 Questions 🙋🏼♀️ How long after a break before you start again? How long should you train for? On a 3 mile walk, how long should you be “training “ vs “letting a dog be a dog”. I guess I have timing issues 🤣🤣🤣
Idk if you ever solved your problem, but it's helped me to separate a regular/neighborhood/structured walk from a decompression/sniffy walk. A structured walk in the neighborhood is when I practice focus, heel, and polite manners. A decompression walk is when I let her just be a dog. The only commands I issue on a decompression walk are "come" and "wait".
Usuall video from the norm but extremely helpful, other basic vids like this would be brilliant.
Thank you for your hard work.
❤
So helpful! My border collie absolutely works for the food and not me. She is naturally very independent and confident in herself. So yes she knows heel but more as, another trick she know that will get her a treat. This will be helpful in phasing out treats and get her more focused on me (:
Love all your videos - My dog is picture perfect indoors and outside in our large yard - We go to the park to walk - He turns into a crazy dog, as if he has never been trained - So frustrating.
Love this video. Needing to regroup on our approach to training our 11 mo old and this is giving me a great start! Question - since we can’t yet expect the heel outside, how do you handle a dog walk to go potty in the meantime?
Thank you for this. My dog doesn’t mind me or obey if I don’t have a treat on me. This was helpful
You are amazing. I really love and appreciate your videos. Tiny steps, repetition and consistency are the key for sure. I love how you explain everything in such a natural way..I’m sure this will help so many people and their dogs. I have a question though and is about training smaller dog breeds. I have a mini longhair dachshund and he is so smart and such a wonderful dog. But I find that trying to reward and train heal and that connection you are explaining is a bit harder when the dog is so low to the ground. I have to sort of pause in order to get lower to the ground myself so my hand is at his nose level to reward him and have to be fast because otherwise ge will jump at me or my hand or treat etc. It seems easier when the dogs are medium and large. Do you have any tips on how to go about that? Again thank you for all your wisdom, kindness and such amazing videos! 🐾💚
i Have 2 Cane Corsos who's personalities were polar opposites when it comes to aggression and aggression training. These basics you're giving are definitely MUST DO techniques and should begin before the dog's 4 months old
Great video! How do you know when your dog is ready to level up to a more distracting environment?
This video was amazing!!! I'm going to work with this, any recomendation to work with my two dogs at the same time???
Great work super cute dog, I have a long haired German Shepherd, he's pretty good but gets very excited when someone visits, ball, toys, cows😂 he just wants to play.
I'm amazed at how smart he really is but he needs work on focusing around distractions.
Could you please make a video on how to transfer the heel training outside?
You could start in a backyard if you’re lucky enough to have one, then the front of your home. Then eventually down the street, then work your way around the block etc… It is a gradual transition, because outside is not a controlled environment. Remember, it’s not a race but progress. Good luck!
@@Missfoxtooyou Thank you for taking the time to reply! I've struggled a bit with keeping my dog's attention to me because we can only train in a small apartment or down the street.
I’ve trained dogs for over 20 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed watching your techniques which are similar to mine, but most importantly, I’ve learned even more bits and pieces from you to add to my program.
My philosophy as learned from a puppy training group is: ATTENTION is the mother of all behaviors.
Thank you! You’re great!
❤️🐾🐕🦺🐾❤️
Great video and always listen to your podcasts Tom. From U.K. working on heel daily with a correctly positioned slip with a Samoyed, a very hard stubborn dog to stop pulling and being excited 😂 he doesn’t care about the slip, corrects and stops but straight back to pulling, 3 years in doing this still pulls. Prong? My only concern is that’s just aversion then surely, not really learning? Thanks :)
I'm going to write your URL on business-sized cards and pass them out to people (and their dogs) who have these problems out on the sidewalk.
Possibly you could sell them on your merch for word-of-mouth recommendations.
I run into numbers who need your training.
I have two dogs. Both of them we rescued at 3 months of age. I walk one on my right and one on my left. Do you have any videos/suggestions for this? Very much appreciate you and the work you do.
woaw. . with love anything possible. br from Denmark
I loved this video! Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏 Although, I was distracted by how gorgeous Oz is and had to rewind a few times 🙂
I love your videos umm here's a recipe for dog ice cream 🍦.
Ingredients
Banana - bananas make a thick, creamy dessert without any eggs or cream!
Greek yogurt - Greek yogurt has less lactose and may be more easily digested than plain. Plain unsweetened regular yogurt will work too.
Organic peanut butter - Be sure that your peanut butter doesn’t include any artificial sweeteners like xylitol, which is toxic for dogs
Milk-Bone dog treats - or any treat of choice to use for the stick
Instructions
Place the banana, yogurt, and peanut butter into the blender.
Blend the ice cream mixture for about a minute or until it is creamy and smooth!
Spoon the blended mixture into the trays. Be sure to not overflow the trays because you’ll need a little extra space for the dog bone treat.
Tip
If you don’t have extra ice cube trays, place the blended ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Then, you can scoop and serve it into their dog bowls!
Stick the dog bone treats into the ice cube trays. Place the trays in the freezer for about 2-3 hours.
Tip
About 30 minutes into freezing, check to make sure all of the dog bones are still standing up straight. You can adjust them at this point to be straight again if they’ve tipped a little bit.
Have fun let me know if your pup likes em. 😁🐕🦴
Now I need a video to get my dog to actually walk! She goes as far as she wants and then it becomes a tug-of-war. She'll even lie down and roll in the grass. I pick her up onto her feet and say walk with a tug on the leash and she sits or lays back down. Other times she turns around to go the opposite direction. It's not like we are even out for long or going far. I can be out just 5 mins and this starts.
Hi. Just found your videos. My 2 y.o. lab is a major puller and will not walk next to me, always ahead. You said the flat collar was good for what you were doing in this video but I don't have an indie space to use. I will have to practice with her outside. What kind of collar and leash should I use for that ?
What do you think should be the ratio of active attention training vs break state where they do what they do to reasonable extent. I am asking because we obviously have to fulfill our dog’s physical needs as well, so we can’t do just A to B and be done.
What would be realistic ratio and expectations when in break?
Thank you!
Can I tell you a secret? I don’t even have a dog! I just think this is fun to watch!
Hello,
What should i do when the time for walks comes? Lets say i start to train him not to pull on the leash. That would be a session per day, but he is not ready to practice the training in "the real world" yet.
So what im asking is: won't this training be in vain if i train him and then the same day i cant use that training outside and he is back to doing what he does?
In the house, in the back yard and in public (pet friendly stores)I can have my dog engaged with me. But on walks everything else is so much more interesting. I have food in all cases. I give breaks and cools downs in all cases. But as soon as it’s a walk I am chopped celery (if I where chopped liver he would be interested😂) I don’t mind him sniffing if there is a balance of looking back at me and when I ask to be engaged with me he will but on walks it’s the worst. When anywhere else he is on top of it, I’m at a loss. Only thing I can do is change small things to make a difference but I’m not entirely sure what changes I need to make.
What do you do when the dog doesn’t like that you are holding the food and not giving it to them. I do this in the house cause I can get his attention. I put the food down to get him to heal he gets aggressive on the fifth step with the food in my hand. I do this in the morning cause I use kibble. If I tell him to be gentle he is and I need to give him the food. For the most part I don’t really like the food and he does respond to good praise. Thanks.
Here’s a question- don’t dogs *need* to go out on walks? Or should we focus on training and somehow provide exercise in a controlled environment, before taking our dogs out in the world? I have a new adult rescue dog who is amazing and so eager to please, and am trying to do it right. I’ve started taking him on walks in our busy urban environment, but he is reactive to other dogs. Watching these videos, I think I should focus on training in our home and backyard first? Otherwise he is amazing.
Question. So if you don’t want to work on heal outside what do you do when you need to take them for a walk while still learning. Do you let them do their normal pulling or spend the whole walk correcting them?
How early in age do you recommend this type of training shown in the video? About to have a 9 week old GSD
If you have him on your left would it also be best to have the pouch on your right with the treat hand?
Tom What size contact points come standard on your unit?
While training this, should we just not go on any walks? I get nervous in dog parks as his recall is also terrible (yes, will work on that too!), and have had experiences with aggressive dogs at dog parks. So just wondering how I can walk him and get his energy out while working on this kind of training?
Good trainer good teaching is it possible you can go outside and work with the dog
Yes once the dog masters this stuff inside. Start small build up gradually
Mr. Davis, I have a 6 month old blue heeler mix, the issue I have is that she is walked a couple of times a day by my son in law and another dog (South African Mastiff) the leash is longer for the Mastiff who is great walking, doesn't pull, but doesn't heel either. I think in training mine to do as you teach, my dog is becoming confused. How do I work this out?
I have a 4 month old German Shorthair and so I am curious if you think it is realistic to have a GSP heel reliably ?
What about tiny dogs though please?
Do you have any training facilities in Canada?
Do you always start th he heel with a slip or prong?
Is yes or good the marker word?
What breed is oz? He looks just like the dog i had as a child that we rescued and we thought he was a mix
I’m not sure if you read your comments or if your team does. I have a question that needs assistance’s. Our dog is great I’ve watched a bunch’s of your videos I’m trying to learn so I can train him but I forgot one thing he likes treats but he doesn’t always want them. I haven’t use them in a training session but in the case that food isn’t a motivation for him what would you do in that situation. Could it be try a different treat? He’s also not big on bones either and I guess to add he doesn’t have a massive appetite even though he’s a large dog. I’ve been looking to get him a collar so I can train him better because we like adventure and I’d love to take him off the leash more frequently with confidence. He responds extremely well but like you said in some of your other videos sometimes he makes the decision not to listen. I don’t believe it’s going to take him much time to learn but I’m not sure what to use to motivate him. Not sure if the dog breed makes a difference here but he’s a husky boxer mix. So naturally he’s great at pulling, when we find trails with out people I let him off the leash and he responds great with freedom but I’d like the peace of mind that if he saw a deer he wouldn’t disappear. Then in the likelihood we do more trails with dogs and people I’d be able to keep my arm in tact. He’s not aggressive when in those situations nor is he growling or barking just wants to say hello. I do my best to correct him and most times he responds extremely well but he’s a husky he pulls hard, after they pass he’s fine but I can’t take him off the leash because he’s to excited and would run all over. Only when we’re on a trail without anyone do I feel confident he will respond to a certain amount of authority. Lastly I hope that made sense
What about when the puppy goes outside to potty on a leash? He pulls hard ahead of me. Can I use this method walking to the potty spot in the yard?
Soooo.. if i tried that with my small dog and he knows i have the food... instead of trying to think and heel... he will continually jump to try and get the treat and ignore what I'm trying to ask of him. So ig thats where a slip lead can come in handy🤷🏻♀️but to give him a treat while at it, he will then jump out of that heel.
So ig just use corrections till he's done good then and only then when i let him break that he gets a treat?
Maybe dumb question but does it matter what side you train your dog to walk on? Most people seem to train their dogs to walk on there left but I’d rather teach mine to walk on my right whenever possible. Reason is that I’d rather me be between my dog and anyone I may be passing the other way on the side walk. The unwritten rule where I live seems to be that people walk on the same side of the side walk and pass eachother if sharing the side walk like we would if in cars going opposite directions (Canada being driver on the inside so car go by your left and your passenger seat is on your right)
I know a few people that are afraid of dogs and would rather my dog naturally be at my right so when I pass someone on the side walk the person who would usually be going opposite direction is walking past on my left. Im also think it would give me a better position for if I ever need to get infront if my dog to block people or other dogs that may come up to us without consent. Hope that makes sense. Basically wonder if there’s a reason most people seem to like their dogs on their left.
My dog is 14mo old and have made so many mistakes you mentioned in this video…Is it too late to make these changes?
I've been trying to train my reactive dog to heel and hes shown he understands what i want from him, but we still have a few problems. Every time i treat him, he starts to walk ahead again, even if we're at a full stop. He also hates looking in general, but especially on the walks i feel like he doesn't trust me enough to look at me while walking. And my biggest problem keeping him from heeling the whole way is he appears to not understand that he's allowed to use the bathroom while were walking, im not sure how to fix any of these problems. If anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, here’s a question…
My dog walks right next to me as long as I have his ball. Is it a bad thing for me to just always carry his ball on walks, or do I really need to train him to walk without it as well?
I know you have said all of these things before but it all really sucked with this video. I felt more like a mini training session just for me. Thank you so much for providing such useful and quality training for all of us
We adopted a year old German Shepherd, and I have been working with him he does real good he’s smart. I need this dog and I need to be able to train him because I want him to be my service dog. I am a US Air Force veteran who suffers from PTSD, and I’m also a senior. His name is Lazlo. He seem to be doing so good. But all of the sudden he started to run away from me, and the worst thing is he would jump on me he has knocked me down at three times. I’m not afraid of dogs at all but he scares me when he jumps on me. I’m at the end of my rope. I am on a fixed income, and I really need help. I love dogs and animals. Any suggestions to me? I have watched your video, and I saw some things I can try and I will try. Because not keeping him is not an option. He is very smart. I love him. Please can you give me some advice especially on that jumping. Because we live on an acre of land and if he knocked me over out there I would probably die. God bless you for these videos, Deborah
My puppy is a hound and walks pretty well so far. But half the fun of the walk is sniffing the ground. She could care less about the exercise aspect. I let her and just call her off a scent when she's over lingering. She comes home after about a 1/2 mile and takes a nice long nap (7 months). Should I ever expect her to heal consistently? She's not at all reactive.
How do I use a leash in training when my dog is fixated and reactive over his leash? He bites at it and gets so excited about it because he knows it’s outside time. I’ve tried grabbing the leash and leaving it or putting it on him and not going outside but then he will demand bark. I feel like it’s a snake eating itself and dont know where to start!
I give my dog a "front" command, then tell him/her to "flip" or "by" flip is to flip left and position to my left side, "by" is to walk around behind me and again position himself on my left.
❤️🐶❤️
What leash is that?
My pup (9 weeks Friday Jan5th) keeps biting and pulling her leash in her mouth. She tries to turn it into tug of war. which I have diffused with a tree deter but it just doesnt seem to be getting better. She seems to get aggravated over the fact that she cant run off. If I try to run with her she gets startled because I'm too slow running behind her(probably the sound frightens her). Ive tried a slip lead leash but she doesn't enjoy that at all (which works)BUT I don't want to giver her a bad experience using a leash.(am I? - I release as soon as she lets off and the walk seems to go ok it does happen a few times and then it seems to be diffused. im not sure why this is occurring. I got a harness so she could get used to wearing something since she will be wearing a vest while we hunt I thought it might also help with the leash pulling. Ive tried to leave the leash on in the house she startles to chew the leash so I have been taking it off when we get into the house. I just started today using a longer leash and deterring her with a treat then I make her sit before she can get it.. or I make her heel walk next to me.
my doberman puppy won't take the treats when we are training outside even though he is very food motivated - what should I do about this😭
What kind of dog is oz? He is adorable
Long hair GSD possibly, looks like my boy which is six shepherds. Loads of shedding, but Ozzy has such a sweet face. 😍
2:52 can get you in trouble. BE Careful where you use that. Looks a lot like the Roman Salute.
I have been Training my cane corso to Always walk next to me with the help of a slip leash.
So the moment the thing goes on to the moment it comes of I expect you to walk next to me on a loose lead (not look at me all the time)
I give him time to run free and sniff during the day on long leads or off leash where those rules dont apply
Its not perfect, with him now being one year old and i still have to correct pretty frequently when he gets distracted.
Im searchig for alternatives (no prong collars because they are banned here in Germany) . I hope that someone can help me figure out how to get better results without him constanly looking at me for food Just him Walking calm next to me minding his own Business
So there is no need to guide the dog into position with food when teaching heel?
