Wow. Impressive. I have problem keeping lead up high. It falls to middle of throat all the time☹️You on the other hand keep it up high. How can I do the same? Much Joy🐾👍🏾🐾

What if the owner of the dog is loud and obnoxious calling dog over to her indoors? How is the dog ever gonna calm down if that keeps happening 😮

This was a great video, i see you offer dog training, where abouts are you based?

If its a small dog we have to bend knees to give treats right?

Most people just want a calm dog that fits into family life.

For some reason its not letting me like your videos😢Thank you always for your help

Ben where is the slip lead from my mate ?

Should I teach indoors first?

Great video Ben, I’ve been using a martingale with my Corgi and it’s had similar effect. But I feel more confident of him not escaping. We have had many escape incidents . ( on in a nature park where it took 20 minutes together him back. He had a great time. I realized I need to get fitter. 😅

I still think that 2 is better than one unless its a small breed, by a long ways. Once you keep up the discipline of routine and continuous reinforcement of training/commands. They help each other burn off steam as pups before incorporating lead training. They keep each other entertained and that's one of the biggest things during the puppy stage for boredom and any sort of anxiety. It truly isn't that complicated assuming one doesn't think that training and reinforcement with the dogs isn't just for a period of time but most of their life. I am already looking to get my second lab pup so that they won't be too far apart in age as my pup is currently 4 months. My biggest regret when i got my Malinois was not getting two.

As a German, I obviously cannot press the like button here, as the training equipment that you use and recommend is illegal to use in Germany, but I did enjoy watching your video and reflecting on it. Thanks!

Best high drive dog exersize rig ever- for 1 to 3 dogs- freedom to gooo under excellent steering and dog control- the rider steers the dogs- no commands needed- the dogs ADD stability to the scooter- you don't crash with this design- on or off road- even on urban sidewalks and single track dirt trails- on or off road- urban mushing perfected- also good for agro, deaf and blind dogs- d o g p o w e r e d s c o o t e r

I raised 2 littermates before, they were wonderful dogs. Now I'm going for 4 😅 their mother and an older dog are helping me. Thanks for pointing out the importance of single training!

I understand everyone’s experience getting two dogs at once is different. I adopted 2 littermates at once, and it was the best decision. They never experienced separation anxiety or naughtiness from boredom. I agree 100%, however, with training them individually. This was one mistake I made. Although they are mostly incredibly well-behaved, they are somewhat reactive to wildlife on walks, which has been a bit of a problem.

Thank you 😊 Love your videos

Awesome content. Thanks

Great video, thank you! I've seen a few trainers use this approach, but I’m unsure about how to handle walks. Training for 15 minutes is fantastic, but dogs also need exercise. What should I do if my dog starts reverting to bad behaviour during the walk? Any tips would be much appreciated!

I use a harness most of the time now because my dog figured out he can bite leashes clean off when he gets scared and wants away.. Having the anchor point on his back and not in front of his mouth gives me peace of mind. This isn’t a permanent solution and we do train to get him less afraid of the lead. Definitely prefer slip leads tho. Ben if you have some tips on training when a dog won’t take treats or a toy I’d appreciate it 🙏

Thank you for another great video Ben. This one came at the perfect time as i've just got a fenrir slip lead a couple of days ago. I see now where i went wrong and will try again tomorrow doing this new approach. I can safely say that after trying for months with the stop start method that it isn't getting through to her and I need a new approach. Thank you for all the videos you're doing and I Know your youtube journey is going to get bigger and bigger you're a great trainer.

I have a wiemeraner. I used this and worked great. he loves a game of fetch on the walks. untill a fly, wasp or butterfly pass by

Great stuff! I'm adding a harness to train my dog to help me walk up hills and steep inclines and steady me on the way down. It's a fun exercise and very useful on the trails.

Harnesses are designed to encourage a dog to PULL. So its damn near impossible to train a dog not to pull on one. If you have a brachycephalic dog breed (aka a dog that is flat faced, or looks like their snout was squashed or flattened inwards) a martingale or even a prong can be a safer option than a slip or a normal flat collar. However, please be careful with your corrections as flat faces dogs are more prone to breathing issues. If you are concerned for using anything on your flat faced dog, then it might be best not to unless you're sure they'll be fine. I have a reactive Chihuahua, and Chihuahuas can be prone to collapsing trachea. I got him a martingale and Its wonderful! Martingales and prongs distribute pressure more evenly than a slip or prong.

first one ;p

Same here! Hello from Alabama USA

Sickkk as always 🙌

so excellent. i learned this the hard way, ending up with an overly defensive dog like barley. what i've also learned is my dog who was 2 and a half when we met, has great taste in friends. it was me, allowing any dog, always excited, to invade her space. and then the trouble starts. we are both much happier now, avoiding the dog park, and pretty much just walking by other dogs unless she clearly wants to meet them, not because they want to meet her. she has never been aggressive reactive at all. i think of it as defensive reactive. and i don't blame her. she trusts me more too, now that i'm not allowing approaches that i know will offend her, and i do allow her to choose her interactions. and the minute i saw barley with your girls i knew he would be fine. for all the reasons you explain so well. they so want to feel good. i hope he has found a way.

I’ve just came back from walk which was an absolute nightmare. 9 months old golden, dragged me around like crazy. I’m going to try this.

Love the video! Thank you! I can't even get my dog to stay calm while I'm on the floor. If I sit down around her, she'll jump all over me and nip at me. Not sure how to stop that because she actually hurts while trying to teach her to calm down around a sitting person. She's a 21 week old lab/catahoula mix.

At the end is something that has become second nature to experience dog owners and trainers. But for novices it is often not known! Subtle difference that just makes sense with what you're doing and how the bog's body will move during the process! <3

Way to simplify different ways of getting same result, nicely broken down.

A chill video from a chill trainer. Love your chillness :) You got any trick/advice if a dog gets distracted once in a while when training/playing. Like a bird or an other person in the park makes my BC 50% of the time just drop her toy and wonders off. I guess its not wrong of me to tell her off and come back instantly, with a little corrction on the longleash? Loose leash walking is going pretty well even in busy places (I do have to tell her a few times to stay in heel but she does correct herself before I have to with the leash on my "na-ah") She does not like fetch that much, but likes to play tugg. Yet as I said, while playin or obedience training, a distraction sometimes is more intresting for her, she does not run off like crazy, but just the focus is all gone. Anyway, keep them videos coming man. Love to learn from you !

Another great video! Where is that slip lead from? I have tried a coupke and they keep slipping down. Its always seems to stay in position in your videos!

I’ll give it try. 😅

Hi Ben, loving your output on this channel....Where do you get your slip leads from please ?

Great video. Many thanks. I have shared this with many of my clients who have all found it useful.

Is it counter intuitive to walk my dog on a flat collar in more of a “throw away” mode, while I’m training heel separately? Should this be the only “walk” we do until we’ve progressed to actually walking down the road?

Ben, your channel is very underrated. You gonna have 100k subs minimum for sure!I'm gonna try your technique with my puppy. Please continue releasing such practical video when you show us precisely how you do it.

Thank you for sharing this advice, all of your videos are so informative. Where do you buy those leads?

Siccckkk! Love the work as always

Thank you

As a trainer, I found this video extremely useful in terms of the dialogue I have with a lot of clients. Many thanks.

I have been doing this with my dog for about a year and she gets everything while I’m training her but doesn’t seem to remember anything by the next day It’s crazy and I’m about to just give up. I’ve also spent hundreds of dollars on her training. By the way, she’s a 80 lb lab.

Haha!! WHY! Is the dog trying to move the other dog away from them!?

Just discovered your channel and it's truly awesome. It also gave me some hope in a moment where training my dog has become quite disheartening. He's a beautiful and sweet 4yo English Setter who I adopted 9 month ago after he was abandoned by a hunter (here in Italy this happens a lot with these breeds - hunters often abandon hounds who are not "good enough"). Knowing how reactive these dogs are, I started working on my recall with him from day one and I have reached the point where I can say his recall his very good in moments of medium/low stimulation. However, he's got such a strong prey drive and such high reactivity that in certain circumstances it feels like he's not even aware I'm there with him. If he smells water nearby there's no way stopping him from running towards it, or if he smells an animal in a nearby bush, there's no way recalling him for the next 2/3 mins. This is very sad to me because I love going on long walks in nature with him and see him explore the world around him, but I also want to make sure he's safe and that I can control him should the situation require that. I'll definitely try the long lead technique, especially when it comes to his drive to run towards water. Keep up the good work Ben, really appreciate your energy and the knowledge you bring to the table!

Hi Ben . Love & appreciate all your videos. mate . At what age do you recommend using soft popping on a slip lead to train a puppy,. Our lab is 9 weeks now. Cheers, Jay..🙏

Just come across your channel! Many of your uploads have the exact questions I have 😂

Just got a rehomed (not rescue) dog and he’s not food oriented, that little piece of knowledge you passed on how to combat this was great 👍

Another great video Ben. I’ve done as you said in the comments on the last video and my dog is now stopping less so thank you so much. If anyone is watching this and is struggling, just keep going. There will be setbacks, but focus on the little wins. Thanks again Ben.

So she was looking at something was it something in the distance?

New subscriber here! Will Atherton just mentioned you in his new video posted today, “how I stop dogs pulling so quickly!” I look forward to checking out your videos. 🤎🐶
