GREAT VIDEO JOEL AS ALWAYS! My (VERY LIVELY) 3 year old Golden had never been walked on a leash until I re-homed him when he was 8 months, consequently it’s been a challenge although right now he’s much improved, doorway method and on the drive perfect but as we progress on the walk he tends to deteriorate, I guess due to the many different smells etc. I use the ‘leave’ method plus if he starts to pull a bit I stop and he does too, no problem but then when I release him he immediately pulls again….I stop and repeat many times….! Any advice Joel…or anyone else would be welcome. All the best from Cambridge UK 🇬🇧

She is a 7 month old girl from a Croatian rescue shelter and she used to pull me like an Idita Rod Champion every time. What can I say... it all went away in an instant! In about 2 days and 3 walks a day. I now have 90% of her focus on me and we just enjoy our walks. It's the method and your clear verbal and body language that both I and my dog understand. Crystall clear communication, no Chi Chi. Thank you Joel, great job! And I don't care if she doesn't want to experience the go get method in 2 months time, because it could be a matter of life and death.

Just tried this today and HUGE difference! We live in a gated community with dogs barking everywhere so I can't even step outside the door without him getting reactive and riled up. Went back to basics and started right out the door. He was so focused on me walking back and forth and making sure the leash didn't get taut that he had no time to react to the other dogs! Like you said, it's not perfect and he'll have his moments but I can see how to him, he has something else to focus on and I slowly felt the shift of who's leading who. We walked around within the community together for the first time without my hand hurting and him being slightly more relaxed 😭 🙌

To be honest I wouldn't walk my dog as much if I didn't train him to be off leash from a pup age. He is such a chill dog because his mind and body is mostly free. It freaks a lot of people out though that don't understand he's not going to bolt across the road and attack their dog because their dog wants to do that to him. And not even across the road but on the same side. He knows they want to attack him and he doesn't want a part of it so takes a wide berth.

Idk if you phrased it this exact way in a past video, but my take away was: It’s about tension not leash length. Whenever I’m walking my husky I try to keep that in mind how far/close w want him and how much leash he needs to get there. Whether he can go to the end for a potty break or if I want him in heel position he’s gotta keep the tension loose! He’s pretty good about going through the door, especially on leash. I should probably stop letting him zoom out, with permission, when he’s tethered to his zip line 😅.

I’ve done nearly exactly this for three dogs. Quite literally, they were completely trustworthy in three weeks or so. Two of them wer essentially the same mix as my current dog, “arctic shepherds” as I call them. My current dog not so much. His radar is always on out on walks. Correct gently, and praise when ignoring things, but he’s so exuberant, especially when seeing other dogs. He’s a whole lot better than he was when I got him, but I still have a lot of work to do…. patience, patience, patience.

Yes, I use your doorway method. I also said the word 'wait'. My dog thought that would be a good idea when I tried to let it out for free play off-leash. 'Hmm, I'll sit in the doorway and use it as a disguise in order to ambush squirrels'. That means me holding the door open and letting the cold air in. The only way I can remedy this 'wait' tactic is to throw a small treat out and say, 'go.' With my breed you also have to try to be cheerful with them which is sometimes hard to pull off. Yes, it's important to be 'the boss' but realistically with some breeds it's a detante. Super cute personality with Jeff' you can tell he wants to be a movie-star. Ruff-ruff🐿

Far out man, you know this is so true, I had problems getting my dog to focus on the walk with me until 2 weeks ago when I -1: stopped going to the park and walked him directly for a 1 km to the shops instead, then 2: I enforced a no stopping, no marking, no distraction rule, popped the leash over and over patiently , 3: I started using an E collar utilising the vibration button with verbal commands then took away the verbal commands and vibration and enforced my body language As his guide, 4: I used a long leash and rewarded him with the free command every 10 to 15 minutes so he does whatever he wants, 5: I made sure that he always returned to the “heel” command and beside me, and 6: i randomised the order of the walk and threw in different commands and avoided excessive verbal rewards before I completely eliminated them for the free command, this all started with watching your recall video in similar setting to this one, he’s not allowed to run out , and must return on command, this now 1 year old Malinoise is the challenge I never expected, but the reward I absolutely appreciate. And I removed all toy/food rewards a long long time ago as in your many video suggestions for a more naturally obedient dog. I now walk relaxed listening to my podcasts and without stressing and worrying if I see another dog/bike/ cat/ scooter/ poison or crazy kids 😊

Between this and your video coaching the lady with the great dane i must say my 6.5 month pup has improved 10x. Some mistakes i was making: My door method was not working because my apartment exits to the balcony then stairs leading to sidewalk. Doing the doorway method upstairs but the dog would rush the stairs and leave me at the sidewalk. I'm now enforcing calmness in the stairs and on that last step. I was not consistent enough with the leash corrections and the turning away. Sometimes you have to commit to looking like a maniac. I was focussing on the walk and the destination. Big mistake. I did not have high value treats. I'm using ground beef now and my dog is now listening VERY carefully now. All of these combined made my dog ignore previous triggers like kids, squirrels and other dogs. She still gets crazy when she sees friends but she's able to snap out of it and focus on me. Thought i would live with a dog randomly lunging at things all my life. OVER IT!! THANK YOU SIR!

Even without Joel's training, his first tip is absolutely key: go on a ton of walks with your dog. Eventually, they'll figure it out and you'll figure out how much wiggle room they should have.

Can I be vulnerable for a moment? I’ve exhausted every method of leash training & keeping my dog’s focus. I feel like I am failing my dog and it’s very upsetting bc I know that I’m doing everything right (at least I believe that I am). Has he gotten better? Definitely! He’s improved a lot in many ways, but the pulling/obsessive sniffing absolutely has not ceased. The stopping, sniffing & pulling almost feels compulsive and my corrections just do not even register as corrections w him. It doesn’t phase him 90% of the time and if they are effective, it has no actual effect on him just doing it 5-10 steps right after. Just about everyday, I take him on an hr-2hr walk and I implement EVERYTHING i’ve learned from this channel and others. I’m 4 months into this and I’m ready to throw my hands up in defeat. I am genuinely worried about his trachea potentially being damaged at this point. How do I properly identify when I am not the issue and I just need to use a different tool such as a prong?

I never take a treat bag on walks and yet didn’t have to train anything like this for my dogs to walk loose leash. ?! I have learned how to communicate with my dogs and they have learned to listen, which makes quite a bit of difference. No yanking no cranking required.
He said the “big ridiculous treat pouch” that’s definitely me and every time I put it on, I’m like “Am I going to be this person forever?” 😂
handful of just the dinner kibble in a pocket.
"I don't train a heel, I train loose leash walking." Yes! That's what I want. Where I walk is big and spacious and quiet, I don't need to have him in a heel, I just need him to not drag me!
Behold - actual “pressure and release” training. 👏And you explain simply the why and how of it. Enough with all the treats people. The dog needs to pay more attention to YOU - than you do to THEM. This method is simple, efficient, and something normal people can do. 👊👊 Joel
😂😂😂 “…my giant stupid fanny pack treat thing” 😂😂😂
Yeah treats should be reserved for tricks and fun stuff, not proper behavior training.
Plus it's nice to just let a dog enjoy its meal instead of drip feeding little bits!
Homeless people are some of my favorite dog trainers
I have seen homeless people with the most obedient pooches it's always a good relationship between them human is usually not an addict just someone or victim of a bad system! Have a blessed day I ...
"I got a dog for a lot of reasons but it wasn't to get another job." 😭😭 Thank you Joel, some of us who rescued street dogs and aren't so energetic / have a lot of time can feel like failures from videos that tell us intense treating, play and games are the only way to train a dog. Your approach is always straightforward and effective.
a dog walker can help with those
I think I’m going to make this a topic in the podcast
@@BDTraining my dog is pretty good but he has a tendency to rush up to people that we know. neighbors etc and he stops listening, any tips for this? i try to tell people to not encourage it, but people cant help patting, and it feels like he is getting rewarded for not listening. it can also happen in situations with a lot of free dogs, at beaches etc where suddenly everyone is his new best mate and its hard to get a recall to override his socializing
GREAT VIDEO JOEL AS ALWAYS! My (VERY LIVELY) 3 year old Golden had never been walked on a leash until I re-homed him when he was 8 months, consequently it’s been a challenge although right now he’s much improved, doorway method and on the drive perfect but as we progress on the walk he tends to deteriorate, I guess due to the many different smells etc. I use the ‘leave’ method plus if he starts to pull a bit I stop and he does too, no problem but then when I release him he immediately pulls again….I stop and repeat many times….! Any advice Joel…or anyone else would be welcome. All the best from Cambridge UK 🇬🇧
@@BDTrainingplease talk about stray / pariah / mixed beyond recognition dogs 🙏 Where I’m from shelters and rescues are filled with them and good intentioned people adopt them without having any idea about their (not exactly domesticated) nature.
Joel “ your the best boy” Prince overhearing “what!😳” 😂🤣😂🤣
This video is brilliant - I work in rehoming rescue dogs and I am going to share this video with all the fosters and adopters - they all struggle with loose lead walking and then wonder why the dogs misbehaves in other ways. Thanks Joel - you have improved the dogs' life so much with your advice.
IMO as someone who fosters a lot of dogs, Joel is the best trainer. None of his methods are overly adversive (no prong or ecollars), but he acknowledges issues and corrects behavior, rather than just shaping behavior with treats.
These methods work and now my (formerly reactive) Boston and I have the best relationship. Her life has 10Xed. No more worries about her flying out the door to terrorize the neighborhood. I trust her to be loose in the yard with me and she just watches dogs, pedestrians, cyclists go by. And how nice to not carry treats everywhere 😅 It all starts before you even leave your house!
Great vid 👍 Funny u say "Go on a lot of walks" because that is big part of how i trained my dogs. No treats (the walk is the treat). Really proud when they're off leash and they come back to check in with me 2) That dog is cool 😎
Beckman is real deal Holyfield! Probably best trainer ive ever seen. Love this style of training 🙏
Although English is not my first language, all your videos on the door method and loose leash walking and simple corrective stops have changed my life and my dog's life. She is a 7 month old girl from a Croatian rescue shelter and she used to pull me like an Idita Rod Champion every time. What can I say... it all went away in an instant! In about 2 days and 3 walks a day. I now have 90% of her focus on me and we just enjoy our walks. It's the method and your clear verbal and body language that both I and my dog understand. Crystall clear communication, no Chi Chi. Thank you Joel, great job! And I don't care if she doesn't want to experience the go get method in 2 months time, because it could be a matter of life and death.
I am training my dog to listen to your training, lol, now he sleeps right through it without getting triggered. He knows your commands inside and out. We are both succeeding. 😊🎉 Thank you again…
That's great!
what did he get triggered by? the barking? in that case i have to try with my dog, my doberman is very sound sensitive
@@jesperandersson4684this is a really great channel for desensitising dogs as well: m.youtube.com/@TheAustralianDogFarm My bullmastiff mix loves watching the dogs on TV and this is one of his favourite channels lol 😂
Also key is someone wanting to train and not hurry up and get the walk over with. Patience and effort on the owners part is so important. Love your methods Beckman!!!!!
Duration over distance 👍
Dude, you always make so much sense. The pendulum HAS to start swinging this way! Thank you, Joel!
I wish I could like this video more than once!! Really really great advice, not just regarding Dogs... but overall, great outlooks on life too!!
I got my re-home Boston 7 weeks ago, and I've watched 100's of videos from different trainers (including yourself). This video fits "exactly" what I want.
Hahahaha @ 11:03 : “giant stupid fanny pack treat thing” 🤣🤣🤣. And you got a little unleashed after that Joel 😂.
Joel keeping it real AF! Ty ❤my dog saved my life and he’s a “ breed” but I have him to this day after 6 years of study to stop and check in even when a kitty 🐈⬛ is prey near us. TY Joel
This is the best example. Its very natural, easy & PLEASANT!!! Thank you so much for sharing this - You're contributing to a culture of much more stable and happy homes. What a win 🎉
Just tried this today and HUGE difference! We live in a gated community with dogs barking everywhere so I can't even step outside the door without him getting reactive and riled up. Went back to basics and started right out the door. He was so focused on me walking back and forth and making sure the leash didn't get taut that he had no time to react to the other dogs! Like you said, it's not perfect and he'll have his moments but I can see how to him, he has something else to focus on and I slowly felt the shift of who's leading who. We walked around within the community together for the first time without my hand hurting and him being slightly more relaxed 😭 🙌
I have moved in with my daughter and assumed most of the care of a 6 year old bully/ pit mix. She is very sweet. I can’t take her to walk because she saw a cat and I was on the ground! I would love to be able to walk this very strong dog.
You're right about kids being bored sometimes - it should stimulate their brains and creativity/imagination......and problem solving!
I just can’t get over how Joel is organically training this dog while simultaneously giving us such valuable information, it’s amazing to see his skills in action
Great video. Joel's training always makes sense. Joel makes it is easy for the person trying to learn.
The best trainer ever!!!!!!❤❤❤
Best trainer hands down. Thanks for helping my dog
This video is really needed for me, i have a 14 year old female dog and she isnt pulling but constantly infront and her attention is every where else but with us when we walk and we walk 5 times a day approx 2-4 hours. thanks for this very educational video Mr. Beckman!
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
I love this man :) The best advices on youtube ! Thank you:)
I love the honest way you teach us to think about natural things. How simple it is. I'm from Europe and although I've never had a dog and I work in a completely different field, I realize how much sense your work makes. It's pleasure to watch it and just learn.
Much respect to you sir.
Thanks for the straightforward information with education behind the instructions!! 😁👏👍
Thank you for this video! Thank you for all the tips that you gave us. I like the way you train dogs.
Superb! Appreciate you explaining the context, especially the high reward and overstimulation of being outside the dog's everyday living place. And loved the "didn't get a dog to have another job"! Also really helpful (& impressive) to see this training in one long continuous take. THANK YOU!
Lovely and very smart dog. I have a Golden. Lovely and very smart teaching. A pleasure to watch.
"Listen to some of these business leaders", forget about it lol, I'm just listening to you, Joel. Love what you do, love this channel, love the pod. Keep up the great work.
Go on lots of walks might seem like obvious advice but most of my clients who have trouble walking their dogs don’t do it very much. Practice makes perfect. For you and the dog!
😂😂 🤣 I am jealous of those clients! I live in a large condo building where the only dogs allowed entrance is literally three blocks away from the door where we exit. Add in the inevitable detour to avoid the inevitable aggressively reactive toy dog and our shortest potty break ends up being 6-8 blocks. Ahh…the joys of urban dog life.
To be honest I wouldn't walk my dog as much if I didn't train him to be off leash from a pup age. He is such a chill dog because his mind and body is mostly free. It freaks a lot of people out though that don't understand he's not going to bolt across the road and attack their dog because their dog wants to do that to him. And not even across the road but on the same side. He knows they want to attack him and he doesn't want a part of it so takes a wide berth.
Will definitely try this everyday before walk ... But whatever you said seemed so genuine and so real ... Loved your channel 👌🏻
he keeps smelling the spot you buried the body in. LOL
thank you for that speech Joel! Dog owners/trainers need to wake up!
Boom! I worked on your method for over a year now but this video lead to the break through with my Vizsla. It improved my clarity and posture once again. She's 1.5yo, so maybe it's her getting more calm and understanding too. Thank you!
Love this!!!
Ha ha a lighthearted funny dog trainer. God Bless you Brother.
Excellent video
You are absolutely right on!😀
LMBO I agree 100% with you Joel that kids should be bored sometimes!
This golden is such a sweet dog 🥰
brilliant video!
Thanks for your advice. It never feels like I'm going on a walk. Start, stop, start........I'm getting a Gentle Leader too as Joel recommends so I can cotrol him better. Strong boy!
Love it classic Joel at his best 😊
Mr. Beckman IMHO you have just demonstrated your Mastery of combining physical, technical demonstration of your system with verbal, instructional life-coaching! Prince isn't the only one who believes in you, his DOG-GOD. I do, too.
So much sense here! Agree with you about kids needing more boredom too! Not always filling boredom with iPads!
Beckman killin it 🎉
I listen to you, Joel. Thanks for the pep talk. Bravo! Stay on that soapbox! Jet is so smiley. Happy dog, happy life. p.s. “My giant stupid fannypack treat thing” … new merch?
best leash walking method out there
"That person on the walk doesn't matter" that person on the walk: 😢
he's learning fast!
Very interesting. Correcting the brain not just making them do something else.
Idk if you phrased it this exact way in a past video, but my take away was: It’s about tension not leash length. Whenever I’m walking my husky I try to keep that in mind how far/close w want him and how much leash he needs to get there. Whether he can go to the end for a potty break or if I want him in heel position he’s gotta keep the tension loose! He’s pretty good about going through the door, especially on leash. I should probably stop letting him zoom out, with permission, when he’s tethered to his zip line 😅.
I’ve done nearly exactly this for three dogs. Quite literally, they were completely trustworthy in three weeks or so. Two of them wer essentially the same mix as my current dog, “arctic shepherds” as I call them. My current dog not so much. His radar is always on out on walks. Correct gently, and praise when ignoring things, but he’s so exuberant, especially when seeing other dogs. He’s a whole lot better than he was when I got him, but I still have a lot of work to do…. patience, patience, patience.
My man! You hit it on the nose every time!
2:34. I am one of the people who has been doing this wrong (though my dog is generally pretty OK on a leash). This made so much sense. Great explanation.
Good stuff, Beckman! I started doing your method for walking and it is much better than the old heel and correction routine. Have you read pottenger's cats?
Thanks for the video 😊 I see I made a mistake in my comment on the podcast, it’s obviously the mistake I have been making when trying to fix my loose leash issue, my big dog is pretty good but could definitely improve. I’ll be putting your method to proper use starting today 👌🏽
This method is very effective and it teaches the dog to make good decisions. I use it with doors, gates and other places because it can safe the dog's life. Treats don't obligate the dog to follow, pressure on the leash and corraction bring obligation, and then a lot of praise and treats. My malinois taught me that. I don't have problems but I like to watch your films. Very good film and explanation :)
2:50 Thats me 😂😂😂 Thanks again joel
He looks like a great dog!
Goldens are THE BEST…….in my opinion!
Yes, I use your doorway method. I also said the word 'wait'. My dog thought that would be a good idea when I tried to let it out for free play off-leash. 'Hmm, I'll sit in the doorway and use it as a disguise in order to ambush squirrels'. That means me holding the door open and letting the cold air in. The only way I can remedy this 'wait' tactic is to throw a small treat out and say, 'go.' With my breed you also have to try to be cheerful with them which is sometimes hard to pull off. Yes, it's important to be 'the boss' but realistically with some breeds it's a detante. Super cute personality with Jeff' you can tell he wants to be a movie-star. Ruff-ruff🐿
Far out man, you know this is so true, I had problems getting my dog to focus on the walk with me until 2 weeks ago when I -1: stopped going to the park and walked him directly for a 1 km to the shops instead, then 2: I enforced a no stopping, no marking, no distraction rule, popped the leash over and over patiently , 3: I started using an E collar utilising the vibration button with verbal commands then took away the verbal commands and vibration and enforced my body language As his guide, 4: I used a long leash and rewarded him with the free command every 10 to 15 minutes so he does whatever he wants, 5: I made sure that he always returned to the “heel” command and beside me, and 6: i randomised the order of the walk and threw in different commands and avoided excessive verbal rewards before I completely eliminated them for the free command, this all started with watching your recall video in similar setting to this one, he’s not allowed to run out , and must return on command, this now 1 year old Malinoise is the challenge I never expected, but the reward I absolutely appreciate. And I removed all toy/food rewards a long long time ago as in your many video suggestions for a more naturally obedient dog. I now walk relaxed listening to my podcasts and without stressing and worrying if I see another dog/bike/ cat/ scooter/ poison or crazy kids 😊
omg i need to get there… how do u start tho when he is intensly reacting to dogs on the street? do i avoid them? (if not they get scared)
Thanks for the great video Joel. In my opinion, this is one if your best loose leash walking videos. People don't get it, I know. Do you mind if I forward this video onto some of my clients when they need it and I really think this video will help them?
Thank you sir
Thank you! for saying what you have. I have asked for help on older videos and not sur if you've or your team has seen them. I'm learning so much and just want to thank you for your hard work. Any tips on separation anxiety?
Good tip
So glad to come across your videos without the prong collar/harsh methods!! I have a 9 month old jack Russell who has a harness, which might be part of the problem? Should she have a collar? She's very friendly and wants to go to every person and dog, mainly people
Between this and your video coaching the lady with the great dane i must say my 6.5 month pup has improved 10x. Some mistakes i was making: My door method was not working because my apartment exits to the balcony then stairs leading to sidewalk. Doing the doorway method upstairs but the dog would rush the stairs and leave me at the sidewalk. I'm now enforcing calmness in the stairs and on that last step. I was not consistent enough with the leash corrections and the turning away. Sometimes you have to commit to looking like a maniac. I was focussing on the walk and the destination. Big mistake. I did not have high value treats. I'm using ground beef now and my dog is now listening VERY carefully now. All of these combined made my dog ignore previous triggers like kids, squirrels and other dogs. She still gets crazy when she sees friends but she's able to snap out of it and focus on me. Thought i would live with a dog randomly lunging at things all my life. OVER IT!! THANK YOU SIR!
I need to build up to this! Im struggling w the same. doorway kinda ok but almost pulling me down the stairs and at the outside door the last step n flying is really hard. Also when he sees dogs.. itsa nightmare even tho i treat him when he looks away n i correct him. the problem is we have very narrow sidewalks thru the city center n i cant avoid dogs like this -except going on the other side of the street.
Watching again. I would listen to you, even if you were wearing NBs! Thank you so much. (Snazzy loafers, by the way.)
Chip has learned over the years that so long as he's moving on a forward-ish tack, he can pretty much sniff and pee and explore as he will but what I absolutely will not accept is scavving, lunging and doing a 180. Even without Joel's training, his first tip is absolutely key: go on a ton of walks with your dog. Eventually, they'll figure it out and you'll figure out how much wiggle room they should have. Chip not only knows I'm lenient. He knows my roommate and my wife are varying degrees of NOT lenient. 99% of dogs are not dumb.
"Scratch, thats OK, we are not tyrants!" Lol
Hey dog people!
I am not against treats, but I do agree that you just don’t give them to the dog to make them do something - it has to be as a reward for doing the correct thing.
every time you mention the fanny pack im imagining Brandon M master class
I trained him as a puppy to ask before sniffing gets what he wants. He is required to pass behind me if I allow him to my right. Sniffing IS the treat/positive re enforcement. I ENJOYED (so did he) the process which people forget to do.
Great video. What do you recommend for a young dog that locks up and won't move forward?
At 5:30, I love how he looks directly at the camera & 'smiles' at the comment
The dog is like almost perfect I have no idea why he’s coming to your place for manners or any kind of training
We don’t know the needs or situation of this golden’s owner(s) for training, but I agree, this lovely dog is well ahead of many we’ve seen here.
a lot of times dogs can sense the leadership quality of the handler (mostly via body language); the dog could have been a terror when with his owner.
@@topcatwarrior yes most dogs should act like this when totally trained, and some dogs are like this genetically Bread some dogs are really hard and some dogs are very easy and this one is definitely an easy one. What a good boy he is.
@@robin212212 well as I saw it and I am a dog trainer that dog doesn’t look like it’s the type to overpower its owner I guess unless the owner is 85 pounds and senior citizen with bad hands It’s not a typical Beckman type of dog. He usually trains and that makes me happy because I love seeing very nice, sweet, gentle, kind dogs.
this dog is the same dog from his previous video. so he probably looks perfect to you because joel already trained him for a week or two
❤❤
Really loving your training style. I have an 11 week old Goldador and have been trying to find a method of training that is no nonsense and straight forward. Do you have a young puppy video here please?
I rescued a 8month old pit, I’ve had dogs all my life this dude Is A Pain in the BUTT . Sweet as heck but I’ve never met a Dog SO reactive it’s the most stressful thing ever ! Thanks for this
Same. I have a year old schnauzer mix and he gets so excited about literally everything. My other three dogs were never like this. Having a hard time training him.
@@glowatyourownpace Oh, a Schnauzer, a working dog!
I now call doing those turns in seemingly random directions, "crazy walk." It's very effective in getting our 2 year old Corso's attention before a walk, and we find ourselves needing to do it less and less.
We dont want a robot, the ones who work like it xD
Joel man, ive seen a lot of your vids. __Your methods are fine__ They are dogs, I relate to how some single stern moments with them can change everything for the good, its like they are waiting for it. I own leadless dogs that go to work everyday in a CBD. But Joel, just chill and know your all good! Your methods are new' and thats fine. We can feel your annoyed by commenters and its changing watching your vids as its like your trying to fix these few odds commenters ...who you know are wrong. Internet has many muppets. Just do you bro and let the truth speak for its self. have fun! dogs are for fun! x Your all good!
Thank you, will try to incorporate this more. Do you have any suggestions on corrections when the small dog has a harness? He will go after anything and will hurt his neck. thank you
Can I be vulnerable for a moment? I’ve exhausted every method of leash training & keeping my dog’s focus. I feel like I am failing my dog and it’s very upsetting bc I know that I’m doing everything right (at least I believe that I am). Has he gotten better? Definitely! He’s improved a lot in many ways, but the pulling/obsessive sniffing absolutely has not ceased. The stopping, sniffing & pulling almost feels compulsive and my corrections just do not even register as corrections w him. It doesn’t phase him 90% of the time and if they are effective, it has no actual effect on him just doing it 5-10 steps right after. Just about everyday, I take him on an hr-2hr walk and I implement EVERYTHING i’ve learned from this channel and others. I’m 4 months into this and I’m ready to throw my hands up in defeat. I am genuinely worried about his trachea potentially being damaged at this point. How do I properly identify when I am not the issue and I just need to use a different tool such as a prong?
It has been so drilled into my head that “i’m just not doing it right” when I am struggling w training, Im having a hard time accepting that maybe it’s my tool of choice and dog. ):
Great video. Hope you can show one with a crazy out of control dog like mine. Makes walking almost unbearable. Got the Martendale collar on, zap collar on and gentle lead. My dog looks like Mrs. T! People prob think I’m nutz. My dog is terrible on the leash. Pulls me down the street and gets a little better once we walk for a while. I am going to try the things you put on this video. That was was a dream compared to my dog.
Great Video again! Thank you! Can you also please try to address the over excitement in my 3 year old American Lab around people and other furry friends
Got the same issue. She turned 3 last month and is still a puppy when it comes to other dogs and people!
Dogs work for food, freedom and affection. That’s what pet owners don’t understand. It’s very simple.
🙏
Isn't this the same golden that was absolutely ignoring your recalls and running from you?
