In this video, you'll notice that I'm utilizing a prong collar. It's important to understand that when employed correctly, prong collars are both safe and effective for training, particularly when consistent responses are essential. A key aspect of using a prong collar is its positioning: ideally, it should sit just below the dog's jawline. However, sizing a prong collar can be a bit of a balancing act. Due to the design, adding or removing a link alters the circumference by approximately an inch, which can result in the collar being either slightly too tight or a bit too loose. In cases where a perfect fit isn't achievable, I tend to opt for a slightly looser fit. Consequently, you might observe the collar sliding down the neck a bit, as seen in this video. Based on my extensive experience, this minor adjustment does not negatively impact the effectiveness of the training. I hope this clarifies any concerns or queries you might have regarding the use of prong collars in dog training.
So glad you brought up prong collars and mentioned some important points regarding them. Used onr for the 1st time today and got amazing results AFTER watching and reading about correctly using. Would be beneficial if you did a program on prong collars.
I have a 10.5 week old labradoodle. I was discouraged at first being my first puppy and my first attempt at teaching. Following your instructions from your videos, my puppy is starting to get it. He knows down and sit without hand commands. We started leash pressure and he’s knocking them out. He seems very smart. I’m trying to train him to be a service dog for my autistic 7 year old. Thank you @Nate. You’re giving many people life changing bonds and relationships between their fur buddies. God bless you all.
This video helps so much!!!! What had been missing with my dog’s leash walking was that I corrected him when he walked ahead of me but he didn’t know what I expect from him after the correction. The secret in your video is that you showed the dog 1) if you walk ahead of me, you would get corrected then 2)what do you expect the dog to do after she was corrected by redirecting the leash That’s a game changer for me!! Thank you!
I've tried this today with my 1 year old malinois, and it actually worked!😄(I'm really excited) I've tried a lot of ways, mostly with treats (turkey) and his food, because we're working on his fears, but he just doesn't want any food or treats when he's walking. No matter what it is. Thank you for this video!
Thank you Nate! I followed exactly your instructions and worked perfectly for my stubborn German Shepherd. I have been struggling for a long time to correct this. Greetings from Austria!
Another awesome video Nate! you are not just great with dogs, but also with people. I'm watching your content here on TH-cam, and I'm really enjoying it. Our family is getting our first puppy in roughly a month. And your teachings here make me feel very confident, that we can make a great experience for the entire family. Keep up the good work, thank you from, Denmark :)
OH MY GOSH!!! I have been waiting for this video!! I love your technique, I love how you explain everything and the reasoning (other trainers just show 'how to')! We have a 4 year old GSD/Belgian Malinois cross. We rescued him a year ago from a home where he got no training or proper care. He was not socialised on taken for walks and under fed.... I have been trying to correct this, but have really struggled with loose leash.... I have suffered a broken finger, a damaged shoulder and a lot of heart ache.... We have now got loose leash (doing the directional change technique), not great position (he is slightly too far ahead), and he is still not focused on me.... I am going to go back and give this technique a go to hopefully get some engagement and build a relationship out and about (in the home his engagement is great....).
Hi Carrie, The best I have right now is this video. It features a high energy lab, that loved pulling on the leash. Hopefully this one helps. 😁 th-cam.com/video/E7ztsl09dOI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-3ywq12SPbfO82R4
I really appreciate your clear explaination and demonstration. I've watched a lot of loose leash tutorials that aren't very instructive or require that you're constantly turning and being unpredictable with your dog. (Also looking a little silly haha) Looks like it will be a lot of work and learning in the beginning but will get better with experience and time (just like everything else!) It was great to see the progress in real time with this dog in your video
How would you walk the dog on a regular basics? What I mean is that in an hour long walk you don't want your dog in a heel position all that time, cause dogs need to be also dogs, sniff, run etc. right? So how do you implement loose leash walking with longer leash so that the dog can sniff? Would you go for the same method but punish just pulling instead of just getting ahead? Or maybe you don't walk dogs that way and they are just either in the heel position on off leash?
I got a German shepherd because I thought they were cool did not not fit in with my lifestyle but could not understand why he did not like me a guy said to me you got to work him went to agility courses now we're best friends🕊
Nate, awesome video! Thank you! I have 2 German Shepherd. Sky (female) with 5 years and her daughter Nova 1 year. Both not walking as we want with lead. Sky walks much much better than Nova. Nova pull allways like having a competition trying to win from Sky; we tried walking alone with Nova but with the same problem. So we walk with Nova on the lead and Sky behind her, trying to minimize the pull issue but still pulling as well :-( We used for both the Julius K9. We didnt like to give a ot pressure in her neck. In your video we see you used another kind of leash, as you said we thought that leash should gave them pain and thats the reason we didn't used it before. We wanna use the collar you used on your video. Short question from a long explanation: Which kind collar we can used? Is this a prong collar? I know there are different sizes and different size of the points. which one you recommend?
I love how you and the dog make this look so easy! My yellow lab is so difficult to walk, I end up abandoning the walk, loading her into the car and going home. My arms are so fatigued after trying to correct her the entire time. Interestingly, if we are at the off-leash dog park her recall is almost 100%! I will keep working at the leash walks and hope one day we will have a breakthrough rather than so many breakdowns😅Thank you for your wonderful videos! ❤Alberta🇨🇦
We're struggling with leash walking too, although maybe not as bad as you're describing, so I feel your pain! Coincidentally, I have the same experience at the dog park. Very good recall, even when playing with other dogs and he sticks with me in the little wooded area, or if he wanders I can get him back. My dog trainer said this is becuase the dog isn't as comfortable outside of the yard or familiar environments, so he'll want to come to me. (Here I thought my recall was just really good!) But his recall isn't terrible even around the house, especially when I'm out of site. Distractions (other people, dogs, etc.) are an issue though, so I keep him on a long line when outside and not walking him.
Hi Nate, great videos as usual!! Do you have a recommendation for a food that I can use to train my 8 week old German Shepherd puppy so that the training food is also his full meal? I’ve seen you do this in a few videos but I can seem to find something that has good ingredients yet. Right now he’s on a raw diet but I can be putting that in my pockets lol Thanks in advance for your help!
dude your honestly a lifesaver... my 1st dog was so amazing to train... recently got a pitt akita mix which I absolutely adore n love like my own child but MANEEEE does this dog has some intelligence like no other... also super hard to iterate some training like I did with his older doggo sibling which is a pitt mastiff mix and he was honestly so much easier compared to my akita lmfao but this video helped so much! thank you again for all the knowledge and help you give out to the world
Just don’t go beyond the step where I use the word “wrong”. This is a reinforcement event. Meaning, we are showing the dog the preferred behavior when they make the mistake.
@@NateSchoemer ok ty so much for the reply. I really find your videos easy to follow and do helpful, I just struggle with anything I have to do thats seen as firm lol
Great video! Just discovered your channel. I have a huge Komondor who just turned a year old. Hardest dog I’ve had to train. We are getting there slowly but surely. Do you ever use the command “heel” or do you just keep it to “wrong” when they go out too far? Thanks again
I do have a question: After you've taught leash corrections and your dog responds to the word before the "correction", why do you still correct the dog when it's doing the desired behavior? Or is it just human processing delay? For example what i saw in this video: you said "foey" and the dog started to respond by jumping back into position *Before* your correction, yet i saw you still pop the dog during this?
Inward flip is important for your knees also. Imagine recalling your mastiff into heel and having them turn outward into a knee at sprint speed/200lb 😂.
Does this still work when the dog becomes an adolescent (teen)? Haha. But seriously, any idea what to do about a 7 mo GR who doesn't care about leash pressure?
I have a 16 week old German Shepherd mystery mix. I have trained 4 other dogs using the Monks of New Skete Method. My dog is not afraid of the leash or collar, but moving forward he keeps hanging back, stops and sniffs and otherwise seems distracted and nervous about anything going on the environment. He was never abused. If he looks at me for guidance he will advance, walk at my side for a few steps then repeat the holding back. When heading back home he pulls but knows how to heel back when commanded. I would say he doesn't like going for walks and I am at a loss. I have tried a martingale set up with the leash under the chest to allow me to lift and encourage him forward. I have tried the leash pressure and a quick tug to get him to come forward, but he seems miserable, and as soon as we turn back to the house he is pulling to get home. I have never had this problem and am at a loss. I don't want to traumatize him. I do not know what I am doing wrong. By the way, I am working my way through the 10 steps of heel work and he is great, learns anything I have tried very quickly.
you started by saying that "no" is not a punisher, but let me tell you that the definition fits the "no",(as a punisher ) stoping the dog from moving forward in the direction she possible wants go, therefore the "no" is an antecedent from pulling her back , then you do leash pops ( definitely a positive punishment ) so you do use punishment , maybe that is the reason your dogs don't want to take food on walks with you while you train.
If there are times you are not actively training on the loose leash walking, but just trying to get from point A to B (say your house to a trail for a regular walk), do you still need to do this all the way. It would seem it could take a long time to get to the trail, but also don't want to defeat the training we are doing. Thoughts or suggestions.
From Florida. She is so good on other commands and pulls like crazy @ 8 months. I'm doing something totally wrong or is she just not able to get it? I know it's me. I'm disappointed that I can't get this.
My German shepherd learned commands in Japanese but I would like teach him in English. He is already 10 years of more. Could it work? Or I shouldn't change the command language？
A late comment, but my 3 year old GSD is OBSESSED with looking for lizards. I cannot get or keep her attention, so she’s always on the pull searching. I live in Az so it’s kinda hard to avoid lizards.
This was a wonderfully instructive video, Nate. It gave a great illustration of managing a young dog, distracted by her environment and what can be accomplished by consistent handling. She still tended to have a "swivel head" at the end of the two walks but HUGE improvement overall. And it needs to be acknowledged that these were her FIRST TWO WALKS in this new environment with a "new" handler. A lot to ask any dog. Rusty is still distracted after multiple times in new environments. There were many helpful tips during these two sessions that I will be implementing as we progress.
Nice, guess that’s no southern Cali weather up there. The heavy breathing in noticeable. Nice coat 🧥 too, I know you can’t wait till Spring to roll out the guns 💪 😂😂😂😂. Nice video always something to learn listening to you
Please help me. I adopted a two-year-old German Shepherd dog and she lived with me in the house for two and a half years. I took care of her daily and took her with me everywhere. She followed me wherever I went, from the living room to the bedroom. She slept with me in the same room. We were not apart for an hour. The only day I left her at my friend’s house. I only had an appointment with my doctor for 4 hours. When I returned, I did not find her. When I looked at the camera, two children, 14 years old and 12 years old, came and played with her. I went out with them. After two months of searching, I found her in one of the dog care centers. I was shocked when I saw her. She had lost a lot of weight, was dirty, and had her tail cut off. I did not know. The reason is that when I took her out of the cage, she was happy and ran and played with me and moved away from me. Whenever I tried to call her, she came for a few seconds, jumped and licked my hands and face and went away, sitting or sniffing the ground several times, and when I left, she did not care or try to catch up with me. Why did I become very sad and shocked? What should I do? I love her and am very attached to her. She was like, “What should I do? I live in Jordan.”
I,too, am a dog trainer and this is painful to watch. I’ve worked and trained over 8 ACTUAL dogs in the military, US Law Enfrocement , private military contractor and trained and worked narcotics dogs, bomb dogs, concealed human dogs. This method has to be the longest way to train a dog on how to have a dog walk next to my clients without pulling on their shoulders.
@@NateSchoemerThank you for your response. I do not YET but plan on putting one on TH-cam. I just recently got back from Iraq as a bomb dog handler and will start showing potential clients my way. Not to say yours is bad because there isn’t one clear way to train dogs.

Thank you for commenting on Prong Collars. I also recently learned that if they are used incorrectly, they can damage your dog’s trachea!
@@my2cents581 So can flat collars.
So glad you brought up prong collars and mentioned some important points regarding them. Used onr for the 1st time today and got amazing results AFTER watching and reading about correctly using. Would be beneficial if you did a program on prong collars.
I’ve learned that getting a strong focused heel is an engagement key that helps unlock a lot of other training doors.

Dog's not socializing enough, which leads to social anxiety. Gentle lead works well when combined with a martingale.
why kind of collar do you use for this?

" Fulligan" is from what language? It's not Dutch/Flemish....But i hear it quite often with KNPV dogs in the U.S.?
