Clips of this nature help make Youtube marvelous. I fritter away a shed load of time doing this. BUT a large percentage of people are bit by bit KILLING their dogs – without noticing it! The junk pet food companies put into dog food brings about cancer malignancy and makes pet dogs pass away young. I came to understand the tough way when my doggie passed away aged 5.
To help save your dog’s life search online for Double Life Dog Diet (Use Google.) I’m very pleased I did!
How do you exercise the dogs before you get them ready to walk on leash? Because I feel that if you just walk them willy-nilly in between your training sessions, they won’t take the training seriously because they still get away with everything during “normal” walks when you don’t have time. Or am I supposed to not walk my dog in the morning until he/she can walk calmly on a leash?
Hello there! Thanks a lot for this helpful video. By the way, I notice lots of people keep on talking about Xobodog Training (do a google search), but I’m not sure if it is really good. Have you considered this dog training program called Xobodog Training? I’ve heard several great things about it.
This has been the best video from the last 3-4 I have seen. Without your detailed key facts I would not have been able to teach my hyper-active labrador. Thanks to you and your vid I’m able to teach my dog and the both of us can actually enjoy the training while we are outside.
This is great excited to give it a try! Going to be especially hard work with my 2year old an 6month old in tow but hopefully will get there eventually! If say I only manage to do stage 1 getting his lead on do I still take him on a walk as it would seem mean not to as I don’t have enough time to do all the other stages at once but then suppose that wouldn’t get me anywhere if I did that! Im unsure what to do? I know you say do it when you have enough free time but I don’t ever have any!
The collars won’t make a difference. Stay on an early stage and attempt to just get the dog heeling for 10 meters, if you are having trouble with that try 5 meters. Do not go further until you have got that sorted and build it up gently. It took me two days to get past stage 5 on that video. I will be doing a video breaking it down even more in the next couple of months!
I have an Alaskan Malamute and she is about a year old. I took her with me to University as a stress reliever. She grew up on a farm so she only used a leash going out to pee and such. I train horses so I’m not a complete idiot when it comes to understanding animals. She walks fine with me on leash in the house but has the worst attention span ever once we get outside, like i don’t even exist. I’ve tried multiple collars, even a harness and no luck. any ideas? i liked your video!
Very good video. Thanks.
My friend bought a pup for her daughter and had real problems training it! She went on an online training course and now it coudln’t be any better behaved! She wrote this blog about training it, hope it’s useful! 🙂 puppytrainingtheimpossible,blogspot,com
Thanks. I’ll try that. I have a feeling training him is going to take a lot of time. He seems to go crazy when we ignore him after he is naughty, or place him in his crate for a 15 min time out. Not to mention he knows a few commands that the rescue centre taught him, but he’s pretty stubborn.
It’s probably his history though, so he is either scared or he thinks he is fending for himself. He didnt even see outside until he was 15 weeks old, and thats when he first used a leash.
Yes it is hard to explain in an email but first get him to follow you around the house off lead with food reward. Do not attempt to put the lead on until you get that bit right. That is the real 1st stage which I left out as did not want the video to go on for too long. Once that is achieved try walking just a meter on lead with food reward, then take off the lead. Slowly build up the distance over time and look to see how the dog is feeling. Take your time and make sure you both are happy
I just adopted an 18 week old rescue collie. Everytime i put the lead on him and just walk him around the house, whenever he pulls and i turn round and walk back as you did, he tries to lie down or start fighting/jumping and i end up dragging him. Any advice?
The evidence is there on leader theory as well. I am just about to start Bradshaws book so can’t comment on yet but will when I have read it, I have read much of Boitani and Mech, Smith etc as to gain my diploma in wolf studies. You and I could debate for hours as there is strong evidence on either side. I believe like a child and parent relationship, if a dog is looking to you to fulfil their needs then that is a leader scenario.
The earliest you would start is around 9/10 weeks in the house!
One dog took five days, the other was ten, I was taking both dogs out for around two hours on their own each day! Some dogs may be shorter or longer.
sorry to say but she only walked next to you when you walked around the house cause she can smell the treats in your pocket
If you did this every day on average how long would it take for your dog to learn to walk without pulling?
hey was that dog trained early on leash for walks?
hai can i train rott x gsd cross on age 4 week
Thanx for the instruction and encouragment…BTW nice red fridge in the kitchen
I was the same, I struggled with the philosophy but the more dogs I trained using a language, the more I saw them look to me to fulfil their needs and relax. As a result I am making more videos to demonstrate with the hardest cases I can find! Best wishes on your doggy journey.
Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on the reasons for the pulling – I used to actually go along with the pack leader theory, (the first training book I ever read was Jan Fennell) but the more I heard at seminars, and read, the less I believed it. I do believe in leadership though, but that’s a bit different. However, I do teach loose leash walking in the same way you do, so we agree on that one at least 🙂
Brilliant. Our dog’s a lovely obedient boy at home, but on the lead a nightmare. We’ve just tried this exercise in the house and he’s keeping interested and got it perfect! Thank you so much, we’ll keep up the practice! 🙂
Hi UKExile06, thanks for the compliment. As you are well aware there are many theories. I personally believe the dogs were stressed at the beginning of the video because they believe they were leading the owner and by the end they were happy because I was leading them so their responsibilities disappeared. The literal translation is debated by us but the biggest part of language the physiology is the most important part and the dogs were convinced by my language even if you are not! Kind regards
Nigel, great video!! But please ditch the dominance theory,you don’t need it. You don’t need pack theory or “leader” theory. The dog was tugging on the lead when you put it on in the house simply because she was excited. She is pullling outside because she wants to get where you are going – not being dominant. I love that you are a +R trainer like me. . But .I hardly saw you rewarding the first lab. Loose leash walking is not the same as walking to heel either; you could confuse people..
