    Great fast video for those who have a puppy ready to train. Just remember everyone, not all puppies or older dogs will respond this way. Don’t feel frustrated … keep trying. Some dogs just take longer than others.. but be consistent. Once you start seeing success.. it’s a great feeling for you and your dog. Proud moment! :) This is such a friendly way to train and I have a Great Dane and I’m a very small person who needs her dog to behave on trails and around others. I love it when others see me and know my dog outweighs me by 50 pounds easy.. and we are having the best time because I know I can control him which means we can trust each other. And yes, for 30 years I’ve been walking dogs larger than myself (Danes, Dobermans, Rottweilers, labs, etc) I’m never intimidated by their size because of all the training work we had mastered together♥️

      Thank you, Penny! I'm also a student of stoic philosophy, and as Epictetus said, "Get rid of self conceit. It is impossible to learn that which one thinks they already know. :)

      That is philosophical! Very true, I really admire you and your attitude and find it very inspiring. Currently, I am planning to study with aussie legend Steve Austin, after that, I would love to make some future plans to temporarily move to the states and attend the tom rose school, hopefully meet up with you and have some personal training sessions if possible 😁

    I use a gentle leader, I have a dog who will lunge and jump. The only thing that kinda bothers me is the fact that the person in this video mentioned that they use a prong collar (and kinda recommend using one), the issue with prong collars is that if the dog pulls too hard it can cut them (it’s rare but can happen) and using them can give the dog emotional and physical pain, it’s not safe and I seriously recommend a flat collar or a head collar. If you can a dog with aggression issues or you may live on a livestock farm and your dog chases them, use a vibration collar or even and E-Collar (test it on something other then your dog first- don’t let your dog be the first to try it since I really could hurt them depending on size), I don’t normally recommend e-collars but they are so much better then a chock-collar (chock collars and slip leads are very different) or a prong collar- please think and do a lot of research before getting into dog training (go through many different sources!)
    Thank you for reading all of this😅

    Halti was a game changer for us. We used a prong in the past and it was helpful until we encountered a triggering dog and the tug on a prong would throw him over the treshhold when he was bately controlling himself. But halti gave me the confidence of controlling a big dog (def more than a prong, choke chain) and didnt throw him over the edge in a stressful situation. Do I wish to stay on it forever? I dont know. Hopefully not. I wish I didnt get comments on it so much as why does he have a muzzle because it is not a muzzle. But I feel much more confident walking in my super dog busy neighbourhood with a lot of reactive dogs with non caring owners.

      QUESTION - have you tried both brands and think one brand is more effective? I think I'm going to have to use this. I have a cane corso who loves training and walks beautifully on flat collar/ loose leash...until she doesn't. She knows very well she will win any battle of strength. As a person who's handled horses it makes good sense to me. This tool will give me more confidence that I can handle any problems when we're out.

    • @damaristighe3227

      Yeah, you don't need to have everyone think it's a muzzle and that they should leave the area!

    I just have a question about 7:03. She rewarded the dog for turning around but it was the head halter that forced his head around, so why would we reward at that moment? Should I assume we just want the dog to associate turning toward handler whether it's on his own or forced by the head halter? (There's a hole in my knowledge here, so I'd love to hear from anyone! 😄)

    QUESTION TO HALTER USERS - DO YOU HAVE A BRAND PREFERENCE AND WHY?? What is your experience like working with halter?Which breeds do you have?? I have a cane corso and she knows very well she'll win any battle of strength. Although my dog loves training, is well-behaved and walks loose leash well - if she wants to go she will. I hope that this will give me more confidence that I will win in that "what if" moment.

      @@tobiastruman4941 They don't prevent exploration at all. Dogs can still use their nose and explore just at a more desirable distance from the handler. As for neck injuries, I have never seen a dog hurt its neck from a gentle leader. You would have to use some major force to hurt a dogs neck with a gentle leader. The only irritations they would cause is from the dog itself trying to get the gentle leader off with it's paws. With the right introduction and conditioning the dog will accept a gentle leader with no problems.
