- Client Corrects Me! How To Stop Your Dog PULLING On The Leash. Dogs pulling on the leash out on a walk can mean that you don't want to take your dog for a walk and therefore means that they don't get exercised and if a dog is not tired from going on a walk or exercising you will start to see other behaviour problems so sorting a high energy dog so that they walk to heel is very important.

Purely positive trainers always talk about how corrections cause stress and damages the dog. What I see here is the exact opposite. A dog that was stressed and anxious now learning to relax. Without that training the owner and the dog would be living in a state of unnecessary daily stress.
That’s why I like this channel. So many other trainers say “never say no,” but sometimes that doesn’t work. I get not yelling and frightening dogs, but solely positive reinforcement doesn’t seem adequate.
The negative reinforcement here is not the yelling or frightening, it's the pull on the slip collar. It's alright here but that depends on the dog, how much he lunges with what velocity, and whether the fragile neck is one of his particular weak points especially as he ages and the problems start coming anyways, the cartilages that holds the windpipe in shape collapses naturally sometimes.
@@nutmegandcynicismCheck out Joel Beckman. He uses a helper dog too which is fascinating.
That's because they are clueless.
Puttin the lead on himself is such an amazing idea, put the owner at ease im sure. Which will only help the dogs energy level too. Spot on dude
Putting the lead on her would have been better!
First trainer I've ever seen actually put the lead around his own neck to demonstrate a command. Now that's what I call serious about your business!! NICE!!!
😍 This was the best way I've seen an educator demonstrate to an owner how to snap/pop the lead to correct. Well done. Brilliant 👏
Brings tears to my eyes how wonderfully dogs can be taught to socialize
“Firm but fair” that’s the motto I live by! Clear direction makes for a safe, happy and fulfilled dog
Loved this video. Reminded me of how 30 years ago, as a beginner, a very smart horse trainer taught me how a horse experiences the bit and reins. I held the bit in my hands in front of me and the trainer held the reins behind me and I had me move according to the pressure the bit indicated…I was shocked at how clueless I was but I learned so much about sensitivity and pressure from that tactile lesson. Putting the lead on yourself and teaching the owner is like that, a tactile lesson we get to experience vicariously through her. I have often felt confused about why I can’t get that “pop” and instead it becomes pulling. You demonstrated perfectly why sometimes my timing is off. Thank you for this lesson!
As a swede, it is very refreshing seeing your training. Here, this type of training would be considered "cruel" and there are pretty much no trainers who dare to train like this or at least advertise it. So we've been training our 1.5 year old with 100% positive reinforcement, never saying no or correcting anything and only being dependent on treats. Let's just say it hasn't worked out for us and our dog is very anxious outside. I can really recognize in her the feeling you describe here about having the world on their shoulders outside due to lack of clarity and leadership. From now on I will try a more balanced approach with our dog, at least it makes 100% more sense to me than what other trainers have told us to do since day 1
And, how are the results?
your training was probably very unclear or unstructured for the dog in rules and intention and consistency and thats likely why it didnt work. not all positive reinforcements, or any training at all for that matter are created equal if theyre not being applied correctly for your situation. if your training isnt working, the dog probably doesnt understand why its getting treats and that may be due to being inconsistent in giving the dog an association with why it is being rewarded. the dog probably thinks "human throws food for me just cause" rather than "when i am relaxed i get food" or something similar. i dont want you to see your experience as a knock against positive reinforcement training, but a need to refine your technique and communication with the dog in a way that the dog understands what is being asked of it.
What is the public opinion on the pos only approach in Sweden?
All
Gee! I don’t see any cruelty here! I’m from Quebec. Found a wonderful kind trainer that does the same as Will.
Very valuable when the owners allow themselves to be filmed. There is no shame in learning these things, after all most of us have the exact same issues, but it's so great to be able to see how you coach them to learn to apply these techniques properly! Absolutely amazing these videos, can't wait to start working with my dog!
Seeing the owners do things that we do (but haven't realised) means we can learn as much as them. Kudos to them being on camera as it is so useful
That pop! I had exactly the same scenario with my partner.. it's taken me ages to appreciate the difference between a pull and a pop. Still got a lot to learn.
I am the same! My partner has it down pretty good. I am still figuring it out 😂
I totally started crying watching this video when you allowed the owner to walk and do the things with her dog, and they both got it!!! I'm gonna start doing this with my Bella, she's a Border Collie mix, and she had been doing very well but I fell off the wagon of consistency. This gives me hope i can do this.
Great video Will. This is the training that has made all the difference. I adopted a 3.5 year old GSD last November, previously sent back to the shelter twice and the last time remained for 6 months. He was a mess and would loose his mind with leash reactivity. I knew it was not aggression, started getting worse, immediately found a local balanced trainer. Today I have the dog I always wished for and getting better everyday. A joy as long as you are willing to put in the work. My last GSD, poor Sasha, 5 years of solitary confinement at home because I blindly listened to that positive only BS. What a waste, it could have been corrected even after being attacked twice in a month by other reactive dogs.
This is by far the best dog training video I've seen, and I've seen a bloody lot of videos 🤣
I don't just mean the training involved, but the way the conversation is being had, to teach her and the listeners.
You're getting very good at this will !
Thank so much Harry! ❤️
It would be a dream to meet you and actually see the magic you do with dogs. BRILLIANT.
I've watched about ten of your videos and I don't even own a dog. Fascinating and love your style man. Wishing you more success.
My dog was trained to walk at heel using the methods in his videos. Little pug, 6 months, more well-behaved than any other dog on the street. Got the engagement down and then everything fell right into place. Thank you!!
Do you still use a slip lead or have you moved to a normal lead?
@@philmayo5159 Oh good question!
I have a mini frenchie and I’ve tried all forms of leash - the slip lead is extremely difficult because she refuses to move and lays down protesting which causes me to have to drag her and she still refuses to move. Did your dog have any problem like this?
My dog was trained to walk at heel using 100% positive reinforcement methods. He is better trained than any of the dogs we come across. We do everything together, and I never have to worry about his obedience. I also have never choked him out to get there 😂 if you have to rely on choking your dog to get them to submission, it’s worth nothing.
@@leothelionxo I think you misunderstood the video. He never chokes the dog, but positive reinforcement is slower and fails with some dogs and some owners, especially if they already have learned bad habits. Your success with only positive reinforcement may well have been successful because of who you are, and not specifically the training method. Many owners are not natural leaders, so training the human is the difficulty. Reminding the dog who is in charge is not painful for the dog but can be hard on the owner. I watched my mother fail repeatedly with our German shepherd dog as she went through obedience training. She seemed unable to command the dog while my father, the obvious alpha, appeared to work the dog effortlessly. It acted as though her rewards whether praise or treats were its due. She was exasperated that the dog would only obey her if my dad quietly told the dog what she wanted, otherwise, not so much.
This is one of the best vids I've seen. You give so much detail on exactly how to achieve results like you do with a slip lead. Absolute gold, this is. You're a treasure, Will.
This right here is a gifted dog trainer / human communicator at work - great stuff
This video explains the technique so well! Her interaction is not only how I am, but probably like most people. I’m thankful for you Will Atherton!
Just started watching your videos last week for not 7-8 month old puppy, watched this video and went through the protocol for her first and in 10 minutes she was doing 10 times better than before! And then did it with my 8yo dog who had literally never looked to me for direction even after training with a professional at about just under a year of age and he started looking to me for eye contact in less than 10 minutes as well!!
Hi ❤ where can I find the protocol? Thx
@@marketakonasova2802 in the video, I’m not sure exactly what part but I just watched the whole thing
You hunk of a man, you are the BEST I've watched. I have a Kelpie 10 years old and still full of Vegemite and beans. Before I came across you I trained him with repetion etc. They are a highly intelligent breed and catch on very quickly with the right training, direction, technique and guidance. You are that guy that is a master with all of it. Trust me I've watched hundreds of so-called trainers and no one comes close to you. My boy responds to your training techniques within minutes and I couldn't be more proud of him. I mean he was already trained fairly well when I got him but now that I've found you, I'm fortunate enough to iron out those minor creases that enable him to be more of the pooch that he's supposed to be. Kelpies as you know love to also be mentally stimulated, so the more I apply some of your training in the areas that need polishing up the more ready he is to go.
We love you and thank you sooooooooooo much!!
The UK has it's own Cesar Milan! I love watching you work with the dogs and their owners. I think your amazing. 🐕💙🇬🇧🐶
Mate this video is golden. I'm happy I watched the whole video. It's these little details that you are able to teach after years of practice. That make a world of difference.
Training the owner is just as, if not more important then training the dog. Thank you for your time and effort in making this content.
Absolutely.
The method I've used many times is just simple changing of directions, with some foot stomps to keep attention, light touch of the dog with my foot to their flank, praise, and calm firm but light correcting tugs. I also blend the amounts differently for different dogs. More eager to learn dogs need less correcting, but often more reminders to focus on me. Pulling in very engaged working breed can be improved 100% in one session, some breeds are not as quick but most will improve rapidly with good work.
Love watching the drastic change in each animal you take on with a little bit of engagement. I can not wait to apply this training to my out of control rottie
So helpful with a few tune ups our young staffy girl needs. I always get inspired to work with her and try to train the kids when I watch your videos.
Will, best training video you have done mate. Breaking things down, super clear and so supportive for the owner. Excellent instruction
This is the best video I’ve seen on how to effectively use a slip lead. And I’ve been watching hundreds as I’ve struggled with this for months with my Aussie. Thank you!
That was a great one Will. The "Golden Moment" is what we struggle on getting right.
Fantastic video! I've run into the idea of dog leadership countless times but you are the first person to actually explain what that means in practice. And, in combination with your video on new dog blues, I feel so much more empowered to identify and change what I'm doing wrong to get that calm and happy pup. I can't thank you enough!
This video has me so excited to start slip-lead training with my pups. I'm so glad I found your channel Will! Thanks for the great content.
This is exactly what I needed! Perfect timing with the Fenrir slip lead arriving!
Just got a german shepard puppy- watched your videos to prepare for when she arrived and still watching! Really good quality videos!
I recently got a 5 month old American Bulldog and these videos are really helping me to leash train him! Thank you!
Please post more like these, because like you said, sometimes you're watching someone and you try to replicate and it's still not right. It's really really good to watch a person who's new to the technique learning and fine tuning their work.
This is super helpful! I have a 19 week Golden Retriever and your videos have been superrrr helpful since day 1 of bringing her home
Your training methods are absolutely fantastic. Been watching a few now since I’ve become a proud owner of a Cocker Spaniel puppy. Only started taking her out for walks this week and the transformation of her in the head with following your methods are outstanding and it really don’t take long for her to get the hint. I’ll keep drumming this in now so that it becomes her default behaviour.
Great watching how you use the slip lead, getting the pop right is I have struggle with and now I see what I was doing wrong! Thank you, can’t wait to try again.
Such a great video, the part where you demonstrated the proper application of a slip lead on yourself was perfect. I've used a slip lead on my 2 yr old lab to corrected her pulling, and though I've had a degree of success I think the finesse or pop you're discussing needs to be more dialed in. Will give it a go when we next do some training.
Let us know how you get on Elliott!
This was fantastic. I am doing the Perfect puppy course and this video has helped me do a tuneup with my dog and he has just been walking on the lead without pulling outside perfectly for a full 5 minutes. It was great at this video to the perfect puppy course so that people don’t have to hunt for it
This is gold. I have a 90 kg English Mastiff 9 month puppy , and the trainers, that we have met all say no slip-leash, and then they pick up their 10 kg of dog if it do not behave. I have had some succes with the slip-leash, but here you are telling in deitail how to do it.
Thank you so much for this video. You explained the pop timing so well in this one. I can’t wait to try this with my heeler.
Thank you!! Your methods are helping me teach my hyper 40 pound Terrier Mix, to finally stop pulling on walks. Now, 70% of the time, my dog is walking next to me, not pulling and focused on me and not always for treats either. Thanks ❤🎉
This video really filled the gaps in my training with my Australian Cattle Dogs. Thank you so much!
This is a great explanation of how to correct with a slip lead. I have a 7month old lab & I have been feeling like a complete failure trying to stop him from pulling. This owner is me, I'm realising now that I need to "pop" instead of pull! I would love to see more videos with owners 👍😀
Perfect video! Exactly what I needed for my puppy! Thank you Will!
Brilliant, very easy to understand the popping-method, the way you demonstrate it.
Absolutely what we needed!!! Thank you for all that you do.
i have already tried everything with my 6 years old german shepherd, but i tried this method today and it is amazing how fast he learn. Thank you for that video. 🥰
Just stumbled onto your videos and you are helping me train my australian shepherd! Thanks for the videos Will!
Excellent training tips video! I have a little Chi that's 1.5yo and he consistently pulls on the walks even with a Martingale collar! I reached a helpless state with him thinking I cannot control his excitement (you know, 'oh he's a puppy, he's a Chi, he's got excess energy to burn, it's cute, I just can't deny him' etc etc), where really after watching this vid I realize it has to be back to the drawing board with training. Clearly I need to invest my energy into his energy! Thank you Fenrir!
I really appreciate this video. Very good for getting a basic understanding of how to properly use a slip lead. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making this awesome content.
Thanks for another great video Will. Slip lead is on the way, me and my rescue dog are going to implement this into our training.
I really appreciate this video. I have the exact same issues as your client in this video. My dog Hendrix does okay on a leash, but gets distracted very easily.
I'd say you are the best person on TH-cam doing these dog training videos. Thank u
Thanks for the explanation, distinctions, and modeling! Appreciate you heaps and heaps!
This really helped to see the owner learning what to do as well.
Hey! Great content you have helped me so much with leash pulling with my GSD puppy!!
Will, you are such a brilliant trainer my friend ❤
ABSOLUTELY adore your style!!!
You just answered all the questions I had about this. You're a king. I'm starting your 30 day boot camp with my pitbull Mickey tomorrow. My girlfriend and I just went through all the videos you watch before actually starting the program and we both learned so much and were incredibly impressed by how well you articulate what you're talking about. I'm so excited to give my sweet dog some polishing up so he can start doing way more things with me. Thanks Will!
Brilliant demo! One of the best I've seen. Although slightly worried about a slip lead on a lurcher and them slipping the slip lead because of their head shape :(
This was a SUPER helpful video! Thank you. Always great content.
Great video, I really thought I was "popping" properly, I'll have another go tomorrow, it IS harder than it looks, thanks for breaking it down like you did.
It finally makes sense to me how to “pop” the slip lead. I’m going to keep practicing and be a better leader. Love the videos
Wow, what a great teacher. I wish you can train my deaf dog. You truly understand the dogs behavior. I truly enjoy watching you!!!! Thanks I am learning. (Los Angeles, Ca.)
Excellent training tip with the slip. Thank you, Will!
POP.. what a great video! Very informative! Thanks
Will honestly make It look easy....You are a top fella and wish you well..thanks for the vids and free,,helps all dog owners..respect..
My 1yr old boxer is pulling me alot on the lead. He is too far ahead of me on walks & can be like a mainiac on the lead. I have a slip lead & think I will go back to using it & training as in this video. Great tips...thanks Will.
What a fantastic video and what a beautiful dog. Your explanations Will were amazing. The difference with correct lead control. Thanks
Your videos helped me with my GSD. Although she knows the basic commands, the slip lead and rediractions were the key. Thank you!
Love it, as always! Thanks alot for your work.
Love Will with the slip lead, perfect 🤩
That was really good that! 👌🏾you could say it was GOLD!
Awesome, this is great! Thanks Will
I loved this, can't wait for more
Loved the short educational video. I am working on being an efficient dog behavioralist for dog shelters and in my community. I want to work with puppies form 8 weeks to 1 yr old, to help train families with puppies. Thank you so much. Stay safe.
You just made me realise if I keeo looking at my dog she thinks I'm looking at her for approval. You teach us wait for the dog to look at you. Mate you are brilliant ✌️🤎🍄
Brilliant video, I just found your channel today and have learned so much. You do excellent work please keep these videos coming!
Thank you so much for this one Will. This is something I needed to learn and will apply starting tonight.
learned more in this 12 min video than i did in a training session. easy follow...
I teach people every day how to give a proper slip and prong correction. I've never seen it communicated it as clearly as I just watched in this video. I'll be using this at work tomorrow, THANK YOU.
!
Great work, I learned so much! Thanks for posting!
I had to laugh when you put the lead on your own neck. She was so uncomfortable.😂 It was super helpful to watch so thanks to her and you for being good sports.
9:02 "i don't know, do you know?" I don't know why that tickled me so much :D so true though
Amazing approach and so positive! I have shared your videos with friends needing help. It has helped me so much thank you
Excellent video Will !
I needed to learn this. 😊
Didn't think there would be too many kelpies outside of Australia. Good to see our no.1 breed is out there 🤙
There's a few in the UK (we got ours at Easter), only bumped into a couple so far but yes they're brilliant, too clever for their own good sometimes but great fun to own! He's only 9 months old but really happy with how he's doing.
Thank you for your hard work
Love this video, Will. Going to purchase the Fenrir slip lead with the stopper. This helped immensely so I can work with my dog. Thanks!!
Love this video. I'm just about to purchase slip leads for my two rescues, one who is an aggressive puller. thanks so much.
Thank you so much, getting a kelpie like this and similar behaviours. Not sure on level of previous training, although he has sit and down, no heel or stay at all. Kelpie's that have 'the eye' which farmers look for in a working dog, can seem to turn their brain off when they see something move - good to see you dealing with that (in the same way as usual) but so good to see the dog that I will be dealing with in that situation.
Absolutely brilliant
Great advice, Will. 😊
Bit late to the party, but what an outstanding dog/dog owner trainer, great to watch!!
An excellent instructional video using the slip lead.
You are my favorite!!! ✨☀️🤗 I'm so happy i found you!
This is exactly how I have trained all my dogs and after a time just happens naturally . Off lead as good as on . Cruel to be other way as the dogs need stability and reassurance from us . 🐾❤️👍
A 'P' if you walk the dog on your left. A '9' if the dog is on your right. Might be helpful to know. Great video.
I just got a two year old, old English bull dog today, pulling , used Wills tune up drill, amazing how quickly it helped, not saying that's it " cured" but a fantastic start
