Remember that your dog is a dog, he doesn't come prewired to know "not to pull on leash". A dog is restrained ALL day, confined to a house or yard, finally when the dog is outside, they get excited! Be patient, don't expect perfection right away, use humane training tools that can make your life easier and reward good behaviour. Loose leash walking isn't a difficult behaviour to teach, it's difficult for owners because it takes time to train.
When my dog is on walks he doesn't care about the treats.
My dog is the same i started using little pieces of chicken as treats and she absolutely loves it!
Go when he's hungry
Use crispy bacon in a ziploc bag. The bacon is like crack for dogs.
Use whatever he does love... perhaps a toy or just attention, pats
Same, my dog cares about the PEOPLE
Thank you for reminding me it takes months to a year! My patience is starting to occasionally wear thin.
Elsif Just curious if, 3 weeks later, you are still trying to train your dog to walk politely? If so, what method are you using to train your dog?
Definitely still trying :P I have two hyper, excitable, and skittish puppies that I have to walk one at a time. They freak out and try to run home whenever so much as a car starts near them. I'm doing what I've read and suggested in this video to the best of my ability, and they're definitely learning. Just slowly. :)
then hire a trainer. stop doing the wrong thing and reinforcing unwanted behaviors in the dogs. admit you cannot do it correctly. forget about yourself and do what is best for the dog : get a trainer.
+Doug H. in VA Are you an A hole in real life or is it just your You Tube persona?
You need to see success with training basics. Your dog needs to experience success very badly. They WANT to please. I think you are expecting too much, perhaps trying to teach too many skills and if you are frustrated you are probably not CONSISTENT and yelling and jerking and your timing sucks. One skill at a time in a small undistracted place only adding larger spaces and more distractions little by little after the first level is achieved. The most critical thing a trainer HAS to do is remain calm, serene and loving. Good practice in the real world as well...for YOU. The skill to become objective in any situation is key to happiness and success. No dog not a single dog is born knowing how to communicate with humans. Training is how our dog bonds with us. Getting a push button dog teaches YOU nothing and does nothing for a real relationship with your dog. Consistency. Calm. Caring. These same skills are the same for making a relationship with ANY animal; horses, pigs, cats, birds and certainly our children! Do you think giving your kids money just to get them out of your hair is your style? Then don't have kids until you know how to communicate with a dog! Grins. These videos by all these different trainers are wonderful. Find a few trainers you can relate to and mimic. I wish I could tell you the wonder, the HONOR to be able to communicate with animals. It is sort of like trying to tell a blind from birth person what the color green looks like. Animals TEACH us humans the necessities of getting alone of being a part of something much larger than ourselves...worth every bit of effort! Oh, this other dude in Virginia saying get a trainer...sure, but for YOU never just your dog. A push button dog made by someone else will do nothing for your relationship with your dog!! Once YOU'VE had training you'll be able to train other pets, animals and again, kids.
Walking the dog, 50% for owner, 50% for dog. I really like this observation. Thank you..
+Terry Crissman This is exactly how I walk my dog too.
Terry Crissman I'm just curious as why you agree with the 50/50 but then say that the dogs 50% shouldn't be what they want? That would make the walk 100% your walk, correct?

@@terrycrissman6529 what other command do you teach
This has been the best leash walking video I've found. All the others treat competition style heel as desirable walking behavior.
RS1 it’s when they’re walking RIGHT next to you, very tightly, Almost trotting lol never walking in front, behind, or too far off to the side
So nice to see a trainer that understands that a dog is a dog and needs to have a bit of fun. Walking to heel is terrible for any dog and borderline cruel!!!
What really helps to continu with the method “stand still when the dog pulls” is keeping track of the number of times the dog pulls during a standard walk. When you do this you will see that the number of pulling is gradually decreasing. Not in a straight line, but It does.

@@richiegraham8599 of course.
@@jannetteberends8730 thanks 😊 do you prefer dogs or cats?
@@richiegraham8599 I can’t choose. I always have orientals, a Siamese breed. They are a bit doglike. And my dogs are rescues that always had a cat like streak. The dog that I have now seems outside the house the perfect trained dog. But inside his doesn’t listen at all.
But the combination is the best in my opinion.

Very helpful. A lot of dog owners (myself included) probably don't realise the length of time it takes to truly train this. Now I know I will definitely keep going.
Really nicely done video. I especially like the comment on letting your dog be a dog, and accounting for the dogs needs. Tip of the hat to you ;-)
Love this! When volunteering at a shelter back in 2015, I worked with a serious puller named Archey. With zero aversives, he learned to walk nicely and have fun while on a leash. It helped him get adopted :) These methods work!
Mischief Managed how did u do it?? my dog is a husky pretty big strong big guy man he pulls me ..one day I took him to the park man BAD IDEA
I wish I hadn't deleted the video I made of him but I started out with simple focus exercises where he was rewarded for looking at me and then I added movement to the exercises. It took him a while but he soon learned to keep his focus on me while walking rather than what was on the ground
@@Lore-wv5mt same!! We adopted a 2yr big & strong male husky. Tried a dog park and it didnt go so well, either. He pulls SO bad and I'm not a big person, so it's been a struggle. I have researched everything trying to teach him to walk nicely on a leash. Recently tried a Gentle Leader upon a recommendation but he went nuts trying to chew off the leash (he isn't even a chewer), or he's doing anything to get it off him to the point where I can't begin a walk. The ONLY thing that works just the tiniest bit is the stop & wait then proceed. I've been working with him for 2 months and I often feel discouraged but if everyone says it can take up to a year, then maybe there's hope.
@@ericajenkins8477 I will try that!
@@JR-cooru Same here, I have a female german shepherd x husky puppy that pulls me like no other... she is only 8m old but so strong already and I'm a pretty small girl... I struggle containing her when walking along with someone, or if we come across another dog. I've tried it all, no pull harnesses, collars, even resorted to choke collars at one point, but I still feel like my arm is getting yanked out everytime. Sometimes I wrap the leash around my hand for more control but that just ends up cutting my hand and I get frustrated, which doesn't help. I don't know what to do anymore, sometimes she won't even take the treat because she is so focused on pulling 😭
Very nice video, clear with just the right amount of visuals to illustrate your points. Thank you Kristin!
Thanks so much... what a relief to hear you say they don’t need to heel for the entire walk and every walk - that’s not fun or realistic for anyone.... that was a freeing piece of advice
Oh thanks for this Useful Tips 🥰 Dogs are truly Blessings and I’m happy to Have one ❤️Can I ask you a question please?@Sharon
Oh my gosh I just found you and I can't thank you enough!!! I've watched dozens of videos in the last year to help me train loose leash walking with my dog and honestly, I gave up months ago. We always had lots of fun clicker training and going on training walks, but I felt like such a failure after several weeks and he wasn't 'perfect'. We couldn't seem to make the leap away from using treats all the time. I was so discouraged and disappointed in myself. NO ONE ever mentioned that it could take months to a year to be successful!!! Well, we binge watched some of your videos this morning, grabbed the clicker and some treats and had an AMAZING walk!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't wait to get home from work so we can play some of the games you recommend for mental health 😊 you are our hero today
Oh thanks for this Useful Tips 🥰 Dogs are truly Blessings and I’m happy to Have one ❤️Can I ask you a question please?@Jennifer
Appreciate this video. When you see so many videos demonstrating their dog walking right beside them, you assume that's the "gold standard" and something you should work towards. In reality, the thing that is most frustrating on walks is when you dog pulls you, not the fact that they aren't right beside you. If you can get your dog to keep the leash loose for a whole walk, that is the true "gold standard". In my opinion, heel should be a stationary command where you need your dog to come right beside you, and stay there until released. Thanks for bringing some sense to the conversation :-)
Great video! Love your explanation at 1:45 about sniffing and why they do it. Like how you want the dog to choose to walk with you.
This is soooooo helpful. I can't tell you how many videos on TH-cam are just clickbait and their channels don't answer the questions. Knowledge of how to train your dog is such a guarded secret and people don't really like giving that information away for free. I dislike that. You are very generous. Kudos.
Perfect, thank you for making this video, shared it to my clients! ☺
finally! i can start training my hyper dog, hopefully it works, thanks! :)

Lots of exercise, calm and assertive energy and making sure the dog is only rewarded if it is beside you (not in front) or is calm and relaxed and doing as its told.
You are the first one that mentions sniffing, and that's been always my big question with the heel command. I am also glad you mentioned to let the dog be a dog and not a robot that walks by your side.

Thanks for the video. I have a redbone coonhound and I agree when you say it’s not fair or realistic to walk your dog in heel position all the time. We want the dog to sniff and enjoy themselves, not feel like they are imprisioned on the walk.

Wow , thank you , your advice worked really well . She loves to smell and doesn’t care about treats . So I rewarded her with time to smell and she got it within minutes.👍🏻
Great new perspective. Thanks for sharing your tips.
It was so nice to hear that my dog does not have to be right next to me the whole time. I feel so much pressure to have his head inline with my hip and I know by my trying to force that constantly I am adding pressure to him too. I love your videos!
"Pulling is a two way leash" ~me Fantastic video!
+Linda Jovic Haha, I love it!
I taught my dog Gutchi rather than training [to get treats]. it takes more effort but you end up with a confident, strong willed and happy go lucky dog who thinks for herself, this was done by giving her choices all the time, like four different leashes for the different directions and letting her pick which walk she gets. Now she just uses one leash but she still makes all the decisions and she loves it.All the best.
I LIKEY! Great way to explain how to ENJOY & LEARN while walking a dog!
I agree with your methods 100%! I never could understand why lots of other dog videos here use shock or prong or choke collars when really all you need is time and patience love and lots of yummy rewards. There is never a need to hurt or force the dog to do anything.
+OrangeBlossom Amen! Exactly.... "there is no need to hurt or use force", but there are so many 'so called trainers' that say you have to. I've trained a reactive, aggressive 160 lb dog to walk and behave without force or aversive tools. Patience is the key! Just not many people have that.
You missed the case of having a medium or large dog out of control that will jump on you and/or bite you. Remember that most people never take a dog through even 1 basic obedience class. To say that a prong collar is NEVER needed gors against methods of military, police, and rehabilitation handlers who do it for a living. Are you correct and all of them are wrong ? You are assuming that a prong collar is to hurt a dog and that is not true. An e-collar is not to 'shock ' a dog and your view is again incorrect.
Doug: prong, choke and ecollars are specifically made to hurt a dog- that's why they're categorized as aversives.
Prong collars do NOT hurt the dog, unless you're using it incorrectly. THOUSANDS of trainers use prong collars and have huge success with it. Watch a video on prong collars used the correct way. No force is involved.
Cindy Torrey no; if someone 'categorizes' collars a certain way does not make it so. It means that person attributes something to a device that it is not intended for. A butcher knife is not to 'butcher people'.... it is to carve raw meat or a cooked ham, etc.
Hey 👋 so I just want to say big fat thanks 🙏!!I just found your channel and I did learned why my dog is aggressive towards other dogs and whim I think I'm playing with my dog I'm actually pissing her off a bit...Thanks again:)

Sniffing...now that’s another problem my dog it’s everything he sniffs
Do you have suggestions for off leash exercise? I don't have access to any places other than a dog park, but it is usually very busy and my rescued dog is not very well socialized. She gets very anxious and defensive around dogs bigger than her, and since she's a pit bull mix I am nervous someone might call the police about my "dangerous" dog. We're working on socializing her but in the meantime I am not sure what else to do.
hire a pro to help you get your dog trained. once you have a bite, your dog MAY be declared dangerous... many states have a 1 bite law. Bite 2 to a judge means the dog is to be destroyed. No discussion.
Andrea Frederick Personally, I never recommend dog parks to my clients. Why? #1: Many people at dog parks are there to socialize themselves and not their dogs. Their attention is not on their dog as it should be. #2: Some people bring dogs that should not be allowed in the park. They are bratty, bully, disrespectful dogs which can cause fights. #3: People do not correct their dogs for inappropriate, dominate behaviors such as mounting, putting their paw or head over the shoulder of other dogs, etc. So, you are smart in your choice to keep your dog out of dog parks. In my training for off leash exercise, I use a flirt pole which is a piece of exercise equipment for dogs that entices them to chase a fast moving lure. I use it to get a dog to exert a lot of energy in a small space (it can also be used outside). You can also use agility equipment which is a lot of fun for you and your dog while also a great way to exercise your dog. You can sometimes find used agility equipment on Craigslist for a good price. The old tried and true game of fetch is great exercise for your dog. I also use Craigslist to find used treadmills. They are good for strictly exercising your dog. I hope this helped.
2006 in Sevier County in Utah I was bitten my employers dog which was running loose as I walked past her house after leaving the grocery store. She usually kept the dog chained up in her yard along with her other 3 chores because she had no fence. Her dog had already bitten 4 people including 2 children and police were involved in all bites but the dog was never euthanized or even seized and confined as a test for rabies. Technically according to the laws at the time she was informed by police that to keep all 4 dogs within city limits she had to apply for a kennel license but she never did and nothing further was done. Definitely agree however that aggressive dog owners need to be held responsible if they don't take the necessary steps to ensure that they're dog is safe to the general public.
Chores = chows
A chained up dog is the most dangerous. All that built up frustration. I blame the owner.
Very helpful video, thank you!
Great video, very informative - thanks!
Hi! I have finally decided to do something about my dog pulling. My sweet puppy is about positive but I think he's about nine years old, I'm not sure because you was a rescue dog. He is mostly Cavalier King Charles Cocker Spaniel. I just wanted to check to see if these techniques will work for an older dog as well as younger. Thank you so much!

We have a problem nationwide where thousands of dogs (and cats) are in some form of "incarceration". We are literally begging the populace to adopt, adopt, adopt. It goes without saying, not everyone with a heart to adopt has the patience for the work down the road. The methods you describe are ideal for sure and I believe every owner would prefer to use these instead of something that is aversive or negative stimulus (I recently bought a "no-pull harness and used for the 1st time to take my 2 pitbulls for a walk and it probably saved our relationship!). However your key phrase is "months to years" and let's face it, we don't live in a patient society or time. People can barely wait the 10-15 minutes in a restaurant to get their food and now you think they will wait months to a year to get a dog to walk properly on leash?
We can't have our cake and eat it too. We want people to adopt these animals, then there needs to be methods of training that get quick, long lasting results or these dogs end right back in incarceration or worse. No, it's not the dogs fault but that is the world we live in and we have to deal with the hand we are dealt. I don't like choke collars, prong collars or the collars that give a bit of buzz, but if that is what an adopting parent needs to get the results required, are we ready to deny this otherwise good home to a deserving dog or do we acknowledge the world we are in? Just how many dogs enter shelters each day and just how many more are put down the same day?
Wxercise the hell out of your dog's and then take them for a walk one at a time! Be VERY patient with them. A grown dog has the mind of a two year old.
.
One trick to teach the dog to walk next to you is to start with a wall or long fence on its left side ( you're dog should aways walk on your left side) on put tension on the leash when the dog pulls foward or is trailing behind.
You want your dog's head even with your left knee.
youre not training a working dog but shoot for this and eventually you'll have a dog that walks by your side without a leash.
Antoine Simmons It can certainly be very frustrating when you think about the number of dogs that are euthanized every year in shelters. As a trainer, I have volunteered free training to many shelters and rescue groups in my area. So far not one has taken my offer. Why? I use prong collars. The shelters would rather dogs die or rescue groups would rather a dog never find a forever home before they would allow training using a prong collar. I know, it sound crazy and that's because it is crazy. I'm 100% sure that many of the dogs that are still in a rescue situation or in a kill shelter could be adopted with the right training.The scenario I see all the time is; a family goes to a shelter or a rescue group to find a family pet. They see this beautiful, friendly Pitbull (or other large dog) they are considering taking home, but there is one problem, they can't get near it without being knock down. The dog is jumping up on the adults and knocking the children to the ground which means attempting to take the dog on a walk is not even a consideration. So, this very nice family either checks out a more relaxed, calm dog or they leave without adopting any dog. Now, the out of control jumping dog is either put down by the shelter or the rescue group keeps the dog in foster homes forever. This is all because the shelter and the rescue group will not allow me to train the dog with a prong collar. I'm a professional trainer, I have been training dogs with prong collars for years. I can't figure out the reasoning behind their choice not to take me up on my offer for free training, if you can, please enlighten me.
Using a prong on a dog that is highly agitated or aggressive can lead to unintended outcomes such as the dog attributing the presence of other people or animals to the corrections used or redirecting their frustration with being restrained on a leash and having steel barbs digging into their neck onto the handler. Some dogs escalate when corrected.
I used them in the past exclusively but rarely do now because there are so many better options with better compliance from pet owners.
A lot of shelters know this and because the tool has a somewhat high potential for misuse and because a lot of the dogs lack trust in humans and have little experience dealing with the outside world, prongs have fallen out of favor.
You have to remember that dogs aren't in shelters because people won't use prong collars.

My dog doesnt pull forwards but backwards as it doesnt want to go on a walk, i need to drag it around basically. Its 3 months old, what should i do
PLEASE attend training classes.
Once you have a well trained dog both you & the dog will be MUCH happier.
Got a puppy that was scared as soon as we left the house/garden, she just wanted to go back home , she was 2 months and basically scared of everything cars strollers other dogs cats etc etc . The first thing i did was starting to make noise when she was eating she got scared i stop she start eating and i made noises after a couple of times doing this she got used to it n now 2 months later i can shake a pan full with knifes and forks and she is ok with the noise . Now to to walking i was really bearing her outside sat down until she was calm just let her smell on the meat i had with me and stood up walked away to the end of the leash and sat down first she wanted to go back home so i just sat where i was and called and waited until she came to me then i gave her the meat , let here calm down stood up and repeated the same procedure a couple of times later i just stood up and gave her some meat . Extended to a longer leash and walked away in 2 days she was happy to go for a walk . I don't know you're dog but most likely she is just like mine very scared and insecure so it will take some time and a lot of training . Now my dog is 4,5 month old and she is happy to jump in a car for a ride or a bus/train , or go for a walk . Still afraid for the vacuum cleaner so the vacuum cleaner is standing in the middle of the living room and today she did eat a treat from the top of it , next step is to turn it on while she is in the kitchen (eating) very very short and i am sure that in a week i have to ask her to move so i can clean where she is laying . Ok maybe it takes 2 weeks or a month but i am sure she will learn to accept the vacuum cleaner . Just take small steps and have patience and she will learn that it is OK .
Jack van Houwelingen Ok bro thanks for that long explanation, my dog is also scared of the vacuum cleaner, my dog is 3 months old and we tried using a collar instead of a harness - It worked a little bit better but not too much better..... Now its a bit better and isnt scared of other dogs but more interested and playful..

Very positive & gentle👍
Great information! It just takes a little love & patience.
What do you recommend for someone with a dog that will absolutely not take treats? And I mean none. Social reward isn't their thing either, and playing doesn't really fit in here.
Maybe you've already tried this but dried lung treats are the treats that i have never seen any dog refuse to eat. Not even the shyest/pickiest. Plus they are low in calories. I also know some people who never feed their dogs at home. They only get food as a reward.
Ricarda Ladira Yeah we've tried anything from freeze-dried liver/lung/rumen to cooked chicken, raw salmon, lungemos (ground lung with beef and pork), raw cod roe, liver paté... he eats stuff like pig ears and treats at home chilling, but in any training situation, outside or inside, he doesn't care.
Glad my own puppy will do anything for a bit of kibble, lol! Very easy to work with.

Lol relatable xD
Oh my god this was the best help i have ever found
I agree with everything you said thank you I will try it out.
Harness is made to pull. Use a standard neck leash, it's the best way to connect with your dog.
ziggyplay a pull harness is made for dogs to pull weight. A body harness that is sold in most pet stores is not. The dynamic of the design is vastly different and if you're commenting about knowledge, you should know what you're talking about with evidence before typing. 👌
sorry, but all the professionals I discussed with they all agreed that harness (no matter how cute) its not the way. A neck leash is the way to train and relate with your dog, not only because of the problems with a harness, but also because in nature, dogs (wolfs) control through their neck; it's more effective and also more logic for them.
Wow.
A standard neck leash will tend to strangle the dog - at least mine. I would think that is a negative technique.
Don Moore it would train it not to pull because it will strangle itself when it does so it will stop
Weird to recommend letting dogs who can't even walk correctly on leashes to do off leash play.
My dog can't walk on a leash right because she wants to run off. If I let her off the leash, that's exactly what she would do.
Cameo Burress. I dont think she means in public, they just need to be outside so like a backyard.
Cameo Burress kinda but not really I have a Shepard he pulls a little a times but what she says is very true by allowing them off the leash it realizes them so much . I've been doing that for a year and some months. it's really awesome runs around walks trails with me.

This video is AWESOME! It started working with my dog on our first walk after watching!!!!! I walked even longer because I was enjoying it so much! He didn’t react much to the barking dog we passed either! Thank you thank you!
I'm so happy to read this! Isn't walking so lovely!? Keep up the great work.

Loved this! Thanks!
Clickers drive me nuts! Can't imagine how it makes the dog feel.
You can use a marker sound (word) instead of clicker. I find this better anyway your hands are free plus a clicker makes two clicks (when you press and after releasing) that could mark the wrong behavior.
then i imagine that would not be the best technique for you.
Hmm, since the professionals recommend them, I'm going to go with them and not you.
@reesa logan Perfect response
sheiba09 my dog doesn't respond to clickers so I use a squeaky ball it's been effective thus far
can use my toungue to click? I trained my girlfriend with clicks using my toungue. now she associates positive reward with my toungue.
ewwwww

Really enjoyed your take on trying to enforce heel position for long periods of time. When I see dogs that are trained to do anything 100% of the time, I worry what was done to them to get them to that point. I want my dog to be easier to handle but I want him to be able to enjoy his walks and do some exploring, sniffing etc from time to time.
This is informative, I've watched and read many other trainers tips etc. Unfortunately I don't live near any high active areas nor do I drive, I have an amazing park but many dogs and people go there and it's a huge distraction. I will try these tips thank you
Thank you for this! I just adopted a German Shepherd, and his previous owners did zero training with him. It's tough, but I'm trying my hardest to meet him halfway during training! These techniques are super helpful!
Also pick up the book "Big bag of tricks for the best dog ever" it seriously helps a lot
i love your video they are so helpful please make more
You are the best one out there!!!
This really has worked. I tried the head collar, the front harness, and he would rather stay behind and not walk instead of moving forward. I implemented these techniques and it did wonders. Must have patience with them because at first they might not understand, but with practice it really works. He barley pulled on or 45 minute walk, I also let him sniff grass as we went and gave a slight pull to initiate the walk again. Great video!!
This is an awsome video. Great info
Thanks for very informative video. We will give some freedom and some structured walks to my “Shadow”.
I love how you say the dog should not be by your side 100% of the walk. I'm a firm believer in that. I only keep my dog next to me when I need full control such as a downtown area with lots of people and other dogs.

No nonsense, to the point, relatable.
I had problems with minor pulling. Watched this video and 10mins later he was walking beside me. The final 5min walk was awesome, thank you very much :)
great advice thanks!
Great video!!

Thank you very much!
Thank you! Very helpful and well explained! With our Border Collie walking is very easy, but our Amstaff rescue needs more work. Already have made some progress, but need to keep training.
I like that the dog needs exercise first before walking. My body hurts everyday for the last few months. Thanks for suggestion for head leash.

Love it. Keep up the god work.
Omg thank you. Now I feel like I’m off to a good start at the very beginning of getting a young dog that looks like he’s a boxer bulldog mix maybe with lots of energy and no training at all his previous owner had to go away in a place where dogs are not allowed ever anyway now it’s on me and well I am new to this kind of dog so thank you for starting out just just right.

Soooo precious
Thank you for the info
Thank you for the video its by far the best I've seen and I've seen so many trying to get my 6 month old german shephard to stop pulling on the lead ...and like most people you want things to change over night but your right it will take a while and I've accepted that and am prepared to do the work

Excellent advice..thank you :-)
Trying to get my 10 month old Collie cross from the car park to the open green where I let her run off leash is always a nightmare. Getting her back after is always a dream. Amazing the difference after allowing her to burn that pent up energy!

very good video !!!
Very useful. Thanks
Thanks. I prefer your voice and youtube style over other shrilly trainer. Youre real :) .
GASP!!!! Negative training!?!? OMG.... Some people FREAK out when you use that term... Glad you do.... You have to have both when training...
DOT ROT at what point did she use negative training?
Thank you. My brother said use a shock collar. I thought no there's gotta be another way. Thank you again. I will be patient with her. ♥️
