    I really appreciate your honesty in saying that anyone can get the same results as you, it will just take a bit longer. So many 'trainers' present themselves as super trainers and it can be VERY discouraging to us 'regular' dog owners. Love your videos and your enthusiasm

      @@egzon290 It's naturally more difficult at home with ingrained behaviors etc, and particularly in a high energy family environment. The most challenging training I've done was of a mentally impaired man who had fallen into the abyss of mental health institutions and was given up on. His exhausted, grieving parents couldn't handle him because he was destroying all their furniture and attacking them daily etc; and he was an enormous man at this point. The first time I met him was when two units merged and they brought him downstairs to me. Everyone who worked with him was terrified and he spent all day in a sequestered room mostly alone. So I started doing basically what Will is doing in this video: systematic, operant behavior training, firm leadership and my interest in being with him him. That's key. He didn't have to do anything to get my attention. He just had it and once we had established that I could move away a little more. Not too long though. If he has to get your attention with problem behavior, you've lost. After three months with me and this regime I put him on, the attacks on the staff stopped and he was happier than ever, just because I was a predictable, strong, calming presence for him. After six months his parents were invited to the hospital Christmas party, and the guy wore a tie the entire evening and mostly laughed his way through it.
      Anyway, I had a really long talk afterward with his father about of the transformation of his son from a raging, terrified monster to still a mentally impaired, but nice young man who could wear a tie and eat some cake without flipping the table over. He didn't understand how I had done it and thought he had tried everything. And he had. just not consistently and confidently. The very fact that I had done it before with less challenging behavior meant that I knew it would work like this. As a trainer you really need that confidence, and you can't really be taught it. I did lose a few T-shirts early on that he tore to shreds while attacking me, but it was worth it to help a lonely, hopeless man. Just never show fear and uncertainty, because it spreads. I'm in charge, even if I'm a doofus, and that's just where the discussion needs to end.

    Beings this dog is going to be big and powerful I can’t afford for hard work.
    I’ve took her for 4 walks with the slip lead and wow what an improvement.

I've had dogs my entire life but my newest, a sweet natured German Shorthaired Pointer x Heading Dog has been my toughest for a beautiful leash walk. The way I have been training has totally changed and utilizing your approach, which is very similar to what I've started on recently, has worked a treat. Loving your videos!

    Been watching your vids for a few days now, and I’m about to employ your techniques today on a 6 month old, Rhodesian Ridgeback cross. He’s very independent and has had very little training on the lead. He pulls, he’s already big, and I realise after watching some of your vids, that I’ve done many things wrong already. I felt inspired day 1 of watching you to just run outside and go for a walk using your techniques but, I quickly realised I needed to learn myself, when, how, and what to do and say BEFORE I tried anything. So patiently, I’ve watched a few of your vids over again, just so I’m focused on when and how to employ your techniques. I’ll let you know how we go. Much love from Oz 🇦🇺

    Thank you for this video. I loved your explanation of the loose heel. I’ve trained tight heels in the past with my GSD and Huskies but I’m working a loose comfortable walk/heel with our nine year old granddog Old English Bulldogge. Our son took Bailey through puppy/basic training, but never much more. We’re keeping her while waiting for a fence to be built at their new home. I’ve worked to reinforce and build her stay, leave it, etc., but her leash manners are really bad. So, work continues and Bailey gives this retired 69 year old a reason to get off the couch and do something.

    I don't use a slip lead, but ive been working on turning and go on my commands with my 1.5 yr pitty mix. He's been improving. Instead of 5 turn and go, he's starting to understand my speed at the second turn. He still sometimes has an issue lunging or barking at other dogs on walks(even though he's perfectly fine at daycare and dogparks), but that's another level of calmness and relationship we have to build up to.

    I’ve been using your program with my 3 year old 85 lb mastiff/ shep pooch . Tons of progress !!
    It’s still a nightmare when I encounter another dog on the trail ,or folks are walking behind me. He is a timid poser , kicking dirt up when someone is behind, but will lunge to meet and play with another dog. He loses the brief recall that we have accomplished thanks to you.
    ( recall )
    I had a broken arm and wrist during critical training time and relied on the dog park when I couldn’t walk him for puppy months so he loves other dogs . Lord help me , I just rescued a 7 month pity mix female and due to neighbors had to introduce vibration / sound no shock bark collars.
    1 day and he no longer is an indiscriminate barker. . He is a stubborn pleaser.
    He will come when I call him mostly,
    When he has escaped he bolts still .
    Struggling.

    You literally changed my life. I have a 3 year old husky (from a puppy) and is now 3, who pulled my arm off, is so reactive and I dreaded every walk. She was out of control and we were one pull away from an accident.
    I had 2 trainers who told me to use positive reinforcement only, and for every single walk consistently used the stop start technique with a gentle leader to no avail.
    She was becoming unwalkable and I felt horrendous I was not able to give her the exercise she deserves.
    I watched lots of your videos, deciding I needed a new method. I can honestly say, by following your technique exactly, I was able to get her to heal (and walk slightly behind) in 10 minutes tops. I then spent about half an hour cleaning it up and she can now greet a dog calmly instead of lunging at it, stays in heal when a cat walks in front and doesn’t get distracted by wildlife. Her attention is on ME.
    I am so excited to be able to take her on lots of walks as that’s why I got a husky! Genuinely, you’re a lifechanger.

      Start inside your house no distractions
      Then move to your garden
      Then start throwing in more and more distractions gradually
      you have to make sure you don’t rush it and he needs to nail it every time before you add more distraction, if you feel as if he’s starting to slip then go back and gradually do it again, make sure you use plenty of praise and rewards, but I think you could do with reading up on how to be a calm consistent leader, and looking at your dogs body language, once you understand how a dog thinks you’ll find it loads easier, have a look at wills books they have all the information you should need

    Hi there. Loved the video. I have a 4-month old cockapoo. I've been trying to control her leash-pulling through directional changes, etc.but I don't really see much change in her attitude. Actually, she's become pretty good when we're in the privacy of my backyard, but once we're out and about there are other things that seem to get more of her attention. I noticed that in this video, you didn't even seem to give the puppy any treats?! Is the "secret sauce" the slip lead? How is it different than a regular flat collar/leash? Thank you.

    My girlfriend has a 4yr old male cockapoo that she poorly trained, hardly walked him, pulls a lot, nothing horrendous but there is always tension on the lead. The vets told us to walk her more which I now walk her every day as I have pretty much adopted him but they also recommended a pull harness which you recommend against in favour of a slip leash which the vet recommended against. Would I be better off getting the slip leash and doing some directional changes and then heel training? What sort of time frame could

    Hi Will, I just wanted to ask your opinion, I have a male Westie called Baxter, he’s a fantastic dog, he’s almost 2 years old, I feel I’ve let him down alittle in training, he has a real anxiety with machine type noise such as kitchen blenders, he’ll hide for ages and I feel bad for him plus he really pulls badly when walking but I’m following your rules and trying to fix this, is there anything I could do about the noise anxiety? I love your channel, you’ve been a real help to us with training.

    • @ValhallaRaven
      @ValhallaRaven 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What I found worked for me with my 11 month old German Shepherd is not to make a big deal about the noise. Usually when there’s something that scares them, they will look to us for guidance. If we give the noise attention (petting them to calm them down) they could see that as having their fear and anxiety reinforced. For example, when my puppy first heard fireworks or thunder, he’d whimper and cry. But when he would do that, I’d say “just relax” in a calm voice and redirect his attention with a toy, and not give the noise any attention myself. Over time it has gotten to where he now sleeps through storms, and during a firework show here in Canada this past weekend, I took him outside during the show and the noise didn’t bother him at all. When I use my blender he looks at me and I say “just relax” he redirects himself with one of his toys, or just lays down on the floor. Maybe that approach could help?

I try to see if I can redirect him into something else. Thanks again for your advice.

Puppies also have two fear stages in their lives (8-11 weeks and then 6-14months) where traumatic experiences can stick with them. It can all be trained out and worked with..just takes time, patience, and consistency. Good luck!

So whatever happened to him in the past is history - over and done with. Now just work in the present and to the future and it will help. They can really feed off your emotions.

      You have to build it up. If your dog listens to you at home/in your garden but not out on walks you have to start in your home/garden and then start going outside slowly. For example practice inside, then in garden, then outside your house, etc! He’s probably just very over threshold when outside so doesn’t listen because everything is just so much more exciting than listening to you! Hope that helps x

    People who get small dogs usually dont train them because they're looked at as more of a house cat than a dog. Sorry if that generalizing, but its what I usually see. And I can see why. A large dog needs training because no one wants to deal with an unruly 80 pound beast. But little dog owners dont seem to care and in my neighborhood, are usually the ones with a snarling demon on the end of the leash because the dog hasn't had a single minute of training

Also struggling to keep her calm around other dogs. no aggression, she just wants to constantly play. takes her a while to calm down. Is this just a puppy thing that she will grow out of or could it lead to something worse in the future? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
