Years ago with my first dog, I remember what my trainer said..."you're not giving a reason for him to follow you...make yourself interesting to him and genuinely enjoy your interaction with your dog". Always a delight to see Mr. Cabral in action!
I’ve recently joined Robert’s on line course. The lessons on recall, loose leash, timing of praise and correction are invaluable. I strongly recommend giving it a try.
This worked amazingly with my almost three years old glden retriever! For the first time in our life together he followed me and I didn't even feel him on a leash at some point. I binge watched your videos since yesterday and we already had three not so bad walks around the block. I didn't let him sniff excesively, didn't let him pee on every corner, didn't let him pull me and both of us felt more relaxed. He is reactive to dogs and can be afraid of humans in his personal space but he chose to focus on me for the most time. It's a huge win for us!
I wanted to revisit this vid and take a moment to thank you Robert. Though I've learned a great deal from other vids/examples you've provided, teaching myself to teach my Pit to heel started here and the reason I'm writing this is because today was the first time he did everything off-leash - Sitting/waiting, heel, stopping, left turns, right turns etc - He's not perfect but he is absolutely amazing and a joy to work with. He's a rescue dog and for some reason, left turns and the occasional resulting stumble made him cower and we've even got past THAT!
Great video showing when the leash was handed to the owner, those layers of “walking = tight leash because I have to pull him where I want him to go” picked right back up. So much of training is teaching the owner and I’m raising my hand as being in that club. Good work Jeff and Bruin!
Refreshing some basics. Off to try training another dog we helped place tomorrow. Maybe some day I will be a professional training with the help of Robert
It’s not complex. To the dog it’s as clear as yes or no. To the owner it’s about giving clarity of the wanted behavior. Training the human has greater challenges.
I had to grin when Robert basically told the owner he was too boring for the dog. I got the feeling the owner might have some "purely positive" script in his head about how he shouldn't ever correct the dog. But what a difference by the end!
I have learned to be a bit better for my dogs from your videos, so thank you for that. I am also in vet school, and I am curious if you have any thoughts or ideas to offer to veterinarians and veterinary technicians/staff particularly those just entering practice with respect to building handling techniques or different ways of approaching dogs in the stressful vet office context. We inevitably interact with a wide range of dogs with a wide range of training levels, and as much as we do learn about behavior and various techniques, there are always more things to learn and I'm curious what thoughts you might offer. I understand if you'd rather not as it isn't quite a dog training question! Thank you either way!
This dog is honestly already pretty dang good. Lol. I wanna see a dog like mine what pulls so hard constantky he’s choking himself. And if you ever go a direction he Doenst want he lays down and yells
I have a 20 month old Doberman with heavy prey drive. He walks great loose leash but when he sees a squirrel it’s code red. Any training for that. Love the vids.
You could try some impulse control. Keep him on leash and when he sees a squirrel get him to sit and when he does take a step closer and tell him to sit and each step is a reward since he's getting closer to the squirrel or where it was.
@@CitizenWarhorse that’s what I been doing but my neighborhood is infested. When I’m in the country at our camp he’s off leash and chases them but comes back after a few minutes but on the leash is totally different. I’ll keep working on him. Other than that he’s about perfect 🤩 thanks
My dog has a very good engagement with me. If I stop, he stops, if I turn, he turn with me but he always takes all the loose in the leash and lead me instead of following. What can I do?
Thank you for all your valuable dog training videos, My German Shepherd dog is about 2 years old and when we go from home to the park he knows the way and the whole way he pulls his leash until we reach the park!!! Can you please tell me what I can do in this situation? @RobertCabral
Hey Robert you said don't let your dog play with dogs. Should we never let our dogs interact with other dogs then. I have spent over a year avoiding dogs and trying to train my dog and he's doing great since I adopted him but I have started letting my dog go up to dogs but only if I feel it's OK but my dog just wants to play but I just want him to be neutral.
I just got my first dog, he was two months old when I got him. We go on walks at least 5x a week sometimes twice a day. He’s been improving until I walked with my friends female dog that’s his age. He was pulling so hard that he sounded like he was choking. He has been around her before and other dogs. No clue why he was acting like that.
This a good vid. If you have a dog who randomly shits it self for no reason like it seen a ghost try not walk like your on an a to b race. Let your dog roam. Follow it. Watch its confidence raise walk by walk or sniff by sniff as dogs do
Pinch collars are not bad as long as they aren't adjusted too tight. I've had dogs that got excited every time I moved their training collar because it meant fun time. Most of my dogs have been on the large to extra large size, and the prong collar was just a reminder not to drag me into the street until they were better trained
That’s not true. My dog will walk this way on both a prong collar and a flat collar because I trained him. A prong collar is a training tool and, if used correctly, will make the journey to loose lead walking happen much more quickly.
Or buy a long leash so they can do there thing. As soon as i did my dog went from a horse to an enjoyable part of my day. He goes back n forwards sniffing his world waiting for me to tap leash to stop , go etc. My dog was also spooked easy and would turn and go home. Now he know his area inch by inch he think he the man lol
This doesn’t work with my dog. First time in my life that a dog doesn’t care about food when we are walking. He’s so anxious, excited, and uninterested in me.
My dog was the same. No treats, no toy. He was interested in anything other than all the smells outside. He ate other treats and showed interests in toys only when he was inside. Outside he ignore all that. Only thing I found he really like outside was cheese strings so I used that for training. I started my training at the front door and stop and go method while walking. I went back inside if he ran through the door and pulled. Many times my training was up to my driveway. Small wins go a long way. That's what worked for me.
The other day a work colleague was talking about a dog show on TV. I said I can't watch that show as the people just frustrate me with their interactions with dogs. Then I always pull myself up and say, "I guess if someone gave me a Camel, I wouldn't know what to do".
I tried this over and over but my 4m puppy always RUNNING away from me, SNIFFING, BITING everything is on his way. He's not calm like this dog on the video.
You need to start in a boring environment. Living room, backyard, driveway, front yard, street outside house. Build up slowly. You need to walk purposefully, briskly, so the dog is catching up with you. He builds a bond with you if he is being led instead of leading. Good luck.
It's impressive don't get me wrong, but hardly appropriate for such a soft dog. Just to be clear, big fan of your work in general, not being a jerk for the sake of it. Just it's a labrador! On a prong collar!
That's BS. Show what to do when the dog doesnt listen to leash pressure. My dog doesnt care if i try this with her. Shell loosen and come then shes right back to pulling. Weeks and months of daily trying this little leash pop and she doesnt care. Thats what Robert needs to show. Anyone can succeed on a dog like this with almost no actual drive or stubbornness.
Forgive my unsolicited advice. I learned from a another trainer that if my correction has no effect then it wasn’t much of a correction. Every dog is different so this doesn’t always mean escalate. Example. My 11 month old Doberman Malinois cross. He is stubborn. No bones about it. High drive too. Excellent impulse control for food and some prey (squirrels and rabbits a work in progress if off leash - on leash ok now) but not all and not of he is off leash. He is also not neutered as I feel he is too young yet. Martingale or prong are meaningless when he goes “a blind” for something. He doesn’t care about actual pain. Dislocated his shoulder trying to pull to me from a friend when left behind for a medical appointment. Oddly two things are more powerful for him. He is VERY social so threats of “time out” or a low level e collar stim or vibrate are all ten times more likely to stop him than a violent leash correction. I was exhausting myself with leash work until the collar came into the picture as he seems to have figured out if we aren’t home I don’t have anywhere to give him a time out. (bought a crate for grammas house too) My advice; try as many different interrupting techniques until you find the one that works for your dog…leash pops,hip pokes, bonkers (rolled towel tied and thrown), e collar stim or vibrate, removal….watch many trainers. His method above does work for dogs like yours if the collar is a good interruptor for them. The pop may not be serious enough or like my dog he may not care about leash pops. It might take more work but it’s possible.
@neutrino09 she doesnt care about any of it. I took my sport dog collar to level 2. I cannot turn her off a person or another dog no matter what. Prongs either. She doesn't give a shit.
Years ago with my first dog, I remember what my trainer said..."you're not giving a reason for him to follow you...make yourself interesting to him and genuinely enjoy your interaction with your dog".
Always a delight to see Mr. Cabral in action!
Just Robert's presence changes his behavior.
Very true
Exactly... I aspire to have that kind of presence on every dog I meet
It is not his presence. You have missed the point of very basic body movement and the dogs response...at the end you see the owner start to get it..

Robert you are not a dog trainer you are a people trainer! I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you.
100%
that's what all dog training is like, even parent training is like that
I wanted to revisit this vid and take a moment to thank you Robert.

This lesson was perfect! Thanks, Robert for all this free info.

Great tips, and attitude. Thanks for the free videos.
Refreshing some basics. Off to try training another dog we helped place tomorrow. Maybe some day I will be a professional training with the help of Robert
a great example of training the human
This is so helpful, thank you!
Amazingly effortless.. loved the instructions… thank you again 🙏🏻
Robert you are jus the BEST!!
That’s incredible
Watch and listen to this teacher he trains dogs well. Grateful to have watch your videos brotherman!

I didn't know that "purely positive" people use prong collars. (0:46)

Good Video
I like this how long Alicia’s that it’s not a 6 foot is it? It looks more like maybe a 10 foot
This dog is honestly already pretty dang good. Lol. I wanna see a dog like mine what pulls so hard constantky he’s choking himself. And if you ever go a direction he Doenst want he lays down and yells
Check my other videos.
Yeah, show me videos of training wild dogs like my Hurricane Daisy and Tsunami Paulo. Both two year old rescues and all their behaviors are bad
I have a 20 month old Doberman with heavy prey drive. He walks great loose leash but when he sees a squirrel it’s code red. Any training for that. Love the vids.

Check my other videos. Plenty of these type situations.
I have a Yorky, whose constantly every time I go to the front door he’s ready to takeoff. How do I train him not to do that
Was the Labrador that follows you all the time wearing a prong collar?
Only for the first part of the video.
I have a Scottish Deerhound and a Lurcher, I'd love to meet a dog trainer who can do this with these dogs!
Would love to see that with 4 month old puppy
Any updates on whiskey and her handler ??
I need help with my dog!😢 Thanks for this video!😊
My dog has a very good engagement with me. If I stop, he stops, if I turn, he turn with me but he always takes all the loose in the leash and lead me instead of following. What can I do?

Jeff was kind of a wet noodle at the beginning, but he figured it out. This was great to watch.
Definitely. The owner was weak and his weakness was at the root of the dog not listening. I've never seen a grown man be such pv$$y.
Hey Robert you said don't let your dog play with dogs.

Awww Love this! no E collar zapping just good ole positive training ❤🐾🐾

That's Dutch for brown right ?
Yes

its the chain arround his neck he doesnt want to hurt himself.
Lol.

My dog wont stay behind me lile that he always wants to be infront
Or buy a long leash so they can do there thing. As soon as i did my dog went from a horse to an enjoyable part of my day.

Opposite problem is maybe more common - the dog "leash pulling" the owner.
This is great but doesn't work on my dog, I guess she likes the leash chocking her ...
Still choking?
Repeating commands and NOT teaching them as cues is a mistake nearly all owners make...
Jeff needs to loosen up a little, see the world through his dogs eyes.
Sir this is normal labrador dog use the dog who really wants to run and pull all the time and show on that dog
Now that the dog follows you just have to teach the bloke to walk as a human being and not as a drunk kangaroo...
Alive man 69
he's on a prong collar....very sad for a lab
So the amazing result for both human and dog after just one session means nothing? Wow!
It's impressive don't get me wrong, but hardly appropriate for such a soft dog. Just to be clear, big fan of your work in general, not being a jerk for the sake of it. Just it's a labrador! On a prong collar!

Several videos like that already here in my channel. I show them as they come.
