Exactly! It's just like if your kid is stressed and scared. If you become calm and firm in the situation and you let them know/ feel that you got this, you got their backs and they don't need to worry, they are going to calm down and look to you to feel safe. Dogs need reassuring that they can trust you.
Some kids saw me walking and told me there was a dead cat on the sidewalk. Im thinking idk what to do either but knew I had to be calm and collected. I told them go home I will call animal services.
You are by far the very best most helpful trainer full of consistently beneficial positive reinforcement that always works. I will say I still work daily with a pulling walk pup but it’s so much better and I’m confident we will eventually get to an easy loose leash walking habit.
2nd !❤🇨🇦 Thank you, I will start doing this. My farm dog shepherd Jack needs to chill, when I walk him in town. He's come a long way for a pup born into a situation of wild dogs, in the great frozen Canadian north. He's two now, will take on a bear, or a moose without hesitation, but he's aggressive when it comes to dogs. Mostly fear. I'm gonna keep watching. Thank you again, from an old grandma in northern Ontario Canada❤🇨🇦 Your video's are great, by the way.
I tried that once with my dog Yennifer. At the time i actually had the collar on my waist, soon it went down to my legs. She hopped right over my leg and ran off. She dragged me with the leash for about 2 minutes before it snapped
I have a male Bandog puppy (Bull mastiff x pitbull mum an Pitbull dad) I want to thank you for these instructional videos. Helping shape him into a confident, successful happy boy.
Ooh I like that one. I've always been in the habit of putting my dog to a sit when I stop. My problem is now trying to figure out how to change the speed of the paces when we walk. I always walked fast but now that I have arthritis in my ankle and I'm legally blind I still have 25% of my vision I'm not always sure where I'm going, I have a beautiful red golden and she is amazing and I want to get the most out of her. She is picked up on my anxiety and has learned how to calm me when I'm anxious but now I would like to make her my service dog I'm having a tough time finding a Handler or trainer that can help me. I have trained a lot of dogs before I lost my vision now it's a little scary.
William , i have started doing this with my Doberman, as sometimes he becomes reactive to bicyclist on our walks. Doing this method has really helped, me with my boy . Thank you so much for the tip .
Hi I have started to watch you only in the last month.. got new gsd pup 8weeks old and with your advice she was potty trained in 3 days she knows her name she sits on command and puts up the paw when I say hello..yes I use treats..thank you..keep up the good work. I have learnt a lot....pat Ireland
Just practice during your normal routine. Before you open the door. Before you give food. Before you put the lead on etc etc. This is an easy command my Husky does on walks
Will thanks man you have taught me so much on my cane corso journey and I now have an amazing 19 month old boy who's a joy ... but the number one this is never stop even when you think you've cracked it don't let the bad habits slip in !!! Keep it up man !! 🐾🦍✌️💙
Thank you for this, as i was doing this uintentiionally knowing if this helped or showed lack of control. So i am glad that i just trusted my instincts
I want to say white Swiss shepherd but they normally have all black noses, altho this one might be older. They’re not the easiest to train. I have a male 14 month, loving and does like to learn but very easily distracted especially outside
Sawat Diiiii Khrap (“Hello” - Thai Transliteration) from Phuket, Thailand….. Will….. I really like these short videos (2-3min) you’ve started that focus in on one (1) specific training tip. Not everybody has 30min at one time to watch a full length production….: ) But…. We all have a few minutes here and there throughout our day where we can watch several short clips, covering different tips. Keep up the Good Work…. Cheers…
I do this with my dog all the time and if something is going on that makes him nervous, like bicycles going by, he rests his cheek against my thigh. He's partially blind, so this physical contact helps him know I'm there for him.
Beautiful dog. Yes this truck really helps with reactivity I see dogs infront of their owner and they are much more likely to become reactive especially if they are on a tight leash and they are not confident or nervous animals in the first place. This tactic allows your dog to look to you for direction, they see that you are calm and it communicates what is expected of them. He's a great trainer!
Wow, our highly reactive/aggressive Mastiff Shepherd rescue is really responding to this. For the first time before going out the door, he is looking up to me for the okay to go out the door. I can't wait to try it the next time the doorbell rings, and he loses his mind. Thank you!
I'm amazed by the quality of this. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was a true revelation. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
My family has a similar idea, it's where you put your foot over gently but firmly in front of the back paw or on the front paw. All though my dad was training hunting and hopefully one day assistance dogs.
I do something slightly different, I specifically tell my dog to stop, so that when we get to crossings etc she stops when told, and doesn't walk on until told. Also very effective
Never occurred to me that British people and others who drive on the left would also heel left with their dogs 🤯 or maybe just a leftie idk. Always taught the duck retrievers commands for heeling and returning on the right
My dog is pretty good at auto sitting when we stop but as soon as I “plant my flag” he breaks his sit and moves away even though I haven’t released him. He acts scared of my foot. He is a dog that wants me to hold him all the time but for some reason when I bend down to pick him up he also gets scared and backs away. I don’t know what to do.

I could hear this man say “calm, consistent, loving leader” literally ALL DAY

This guy is hot!

We have started using your advice with our pooch and have seen almost an instant change. Please keep making these videos. And thank you.
You are by far the very best most helpful trainer full of consistently beneficial positive reinforcement that always works.
I will say I still work daily with a pulling walk pup but it’s so much better and I’m confident we will eventually get to an easy loose leash walking habit.
Correct! Plant the leadership 💪🏼
Great
I realize if I remain calm so does Leo..
Thanks for all you do to help us owner properly lead our fur friends!
Have you never owned a dog?
So grateful for the clean clarity and wisdom, and truth of the information you put out. Again, grateful for you. Thank you

Thank you mate 🫶
My doberman came from a 20 yr blood line. Basically came out of the box. Able to follow commands and stacked perfectly
I tried that once with my dog Yennifer. At the time i actually had the collar on my waist, soon it went down to my legs. She hopped right over my leg and ran off. She dragged me with the leash for about 2 minutes before it snapped
Thank you Will. I will i will give this instruction a good consistant go with my dog.
I have a male Bandog puppy (Bull mastiff x pitbull mum an Pitbull dad) I want to thank you for these instructional videos. Helping shape him into a confident, successful happy boy.
My 8 month old Chapo is doing so good.... A work in process, but certainly a better dog, than before. Thank you, Mr. Atherton! 🤗
Thank you Will!
Absolutely love these shorts, I'm constantly picking up new tips to help with my pup. Thank you!
Great point! I can't wait to try it!!
Nice white German shepherd!
Thank you!
I'm definitely going to try this with my reactive dog, we're making progress but that may help me a lot
Thank you. I have just been using a couple of your things you have given and they are working like magic. Thank you
Starting this tomorrow morning Alongside my 12 yr old daughter & 6 mth old cane corso Rue 🖤🐶✨😊🇨🇦thank you for your videos! Watching them daily

My dog disrespects the hell out of me 😂 he's a good boy but DAMN. I'm going to try this thank you sir 🙏
Try deepening your voice even I tiny bit when you want him to listen
He's not good if he disrespects you
😂😂😂 totally relate able
I love my lttle homie but sometimes godamnnn bro 😅
❤ perfect - thank you for this
William , i have started doing this with my Doberman, as sometimes he becomes reactive to bicyclist on our walks. Doing this method has really helped, me with my boy . Thank you so much for the tip .
That dog is absolutely beautiful ❤
Do you think she's s white German Shepherd? They are gorgeous!
@@CharlieLynne-eu9dz they are, I ❤️ dogs that look like wolves!
@@CharlieLynne-eu9dz Just got one. 15 weeks old. 2nd one in my lilfe, cannot think of any other breed.
Hi I have started to watch you only in the last month.. got new gsd pup 8weeks old and with your advice she was potty trained in 3 days she knows her name she sits on command and puts up the paw when I say hello..yes I use treats..thank you..keep up the good work. I have learnt a lot....pat Ireland
I'm curious how my husky will take this, he is used to us both making decisions .🤔😂
Lol. That’s part of the breed! 🫣
Just practice during your normal routine. Before you open the door. Before you give food. Before you put the lead on etc etc. This is an easy command my Husky does on walks
The way the dog has its ears tiled back 😂
Love this guy!!
Thanks Will, reactivity seems like my last hurdle with my 1yr old gsd. My first gsd.
Great advice 👍🏻 thank you 😊
Great advice, as always.
Thank you for this little gem of info
Beautiful, so precious! Thanks very much!!!
Great advice!! I’m going to start this with my new baby! He’s two and a little reactive. I think he would respond well to this. Thank you!
"good girl" - and Millie started smiling 😊
Thanks for sharing this❤
Absolutely 💯 accurate!! Thank You 😃👍🏼
Great advice, beautiful dog btw
Will, you are so gracious in sharing your knowledge with us. You are Brilliant. Thank you.
Great point
Will thanks man you have taught me so much on my cane corso journey and I now have an amazing 19 month old boy who's a joy ... but the number one this is never stop even when you think you've cracked it don't let the bad habits slip in !!! Keep it up man !! 🐾🦍✌️💙
Thank you for the advice, I will try this, kind regards, Joanne 🐺
Thank you for this, as i was doing this uintentiionally knowing if this helped or showed lack of control. So i am glad that i just trusted my instincts
Watching him for a bit and he spot on
What kind of dog is this. Absolutely beautiful
White Swiss Shepherd
I want to say white Swiss shepherd but they normally have all black noses, altho this one might be older. They’re not the easiest to train. I have a male 14 month, loving and does like to learn but very easily distracted especially outside
@@jtballnutshow is he doing now? :)
@@TS-jd9qs he is doing better. He’s great but still distracted easy
That would be our right foot … for us Americans. 😊
Great stuff. Love the boots!

I’ve never thought of this. Awesome. Ty
i do this naturally with my puppy, glad to hear it's a good idea
Awww my Aussie’s name is Millie!
I didn't know that! Thank you so much for sharing this information
lesson no. 1... thanks 👏👏👏
I do this with my dog all the time and if something is going on that makes him nervous, like bicycles going by, he rests his cheek against my thigh. He's partially blind, so this physical contact helps him know I'm there for him.
Yay! That's very cool 🥰

Lol. My dog used to put his paw always on my food, so I changed the game and now I'm doin it. So she knows who is in charge now
Thank you for this trick!! I will add this into my pup's daily walks...
Thanks for the tip!
Great tips as always! Thank u 😊
Mine sits before going inside … your on point I love your content and they puppies you work with so beautiful ❤
Amazing advise .
Gotta try that!
Omg she's adorable,what breed is she?
White Swiss / German shepherd
I love this mans presence and demeanor, I bet he's like 6'5!
Wow, our highly reactive/aggressive Mastiff Shepherd rescue is really responding to this. For the first time before going out the door, he is looking up to me for the okay to go out the door. I can't wait to try it the next time the doorbell rings, and he loses his mind. Thank you!
nice advice mate as usual 💚
Thanks for the dog training tip.
I'm amazed by the quality of this. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was a true revelation. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
That's a good one.
Good one!
I will try this on my neurotic Labradoodle!...will let you know how I get on.
The way he talks to her in a lil sweat voice while his actual voice is that of a viking is heartwarming 😂❤
OK ty
Instructions unclear I stepped on my dogs foot
i plant flags when i go for walks except there for the pop i have to come back and pick up when i forget a bag
I do this naturally without thinking, even going up the stairs to the apartment my leg is in front of him.
My family has a similar idea, it's where you put your foot over gently but firmly in front of the back paw or on the front paw. All though my dad was training hunting and hopefully one day assistance dogs.
I love your accent. Good advice.
This is gold advice dude
Easier said than done when you’re a big tall dude 😂
We gonna start practicing this tomorrow!
I do something slightly different, I specifically tell my dog to stop, so that when we get to crossings etc she stops when told, and doesn't walk on until told. Also very effective
I do the exact same. It’s crucial for emergency situations in the event she needs to stop without by heading to the street! That word is pivotal
This guy knows his stuff , so many are popping up these days 😮, but this guy is good end off !
Good girl ❌ "gOoD gEaIrL" ✅
Roger that I'll try it with our 2
Best dog trainer on YT by far.
Agree
Never occurred to me that British people and others who drive on the left would also heel left with their dogs 🤯 or maybe just a leftie idk. Always taught the duck retrievers commands for heeling and returning on the right
I will definitely use this
I must try!
All fun and games til your dog doesnt sit and constantly jumps up at the lead
got my subscription
You the best of communication how do you train a dog
Are you from the UK
Also amazing tip never would’ve thought to do this.
♥️🌹🐾
Looks like he's keeping up the British tradition
My dog is pretty good at auto sitting when we stop but as soon as I “plant my flag” he breaks his sit and moves away even though I haven’t released him. He acts scared of my foot. He is a dog that wants me to hold him all the time but for some reason when I bend down to pick him up he also gets scared and backs away. I don’t know what to do.
I need to try that
