Yes sir! Agree! Had a Great Dane go after a child once. Well within 3 seconds I had the dog on the ground, on his side and held him in a stress position with the child until the dog stopped resisting. All this was done without the 9 year old kid being bitten. That's how fast I caught and corrected it. Then I noticed when a kid agitated the dog the first thing the dog would do was to look for me! Big indicator and from that moment that dog was NEVER allowed to be alone with kids or around kids without my direct supervision. No kid is getting hurt on my watch!

I agree with everything u said. I experimented with collars and settled with Garmans Tritronics. But I had no idea this video existed so I ran the gauntlet blind and figured things out. Sometimes I failed but I got back at it. But just two things. Can u educate people on how to properly put the collars on and how tight it should be. Then could you educate people on how long the collars should be on the dog for time wise. Whether u add these to your rules or make a completely separate video, I think average owners/trainers would again benefit from your knowledge. Thanks Del

Dog owners too often use human emotions to explain what they think drove their dog to do things. Dogs are dogs guys. Stop making excuses for your dogs. Accept n move forward with more training. I am nobody, but this man was 100% correct in my book. And yes that Jack Russel is living on borrowed time! But my question about this vid is this. Are the owners in that house truly safe?

Walking my German Shepherd, a pit bull flung the screen door open and charged us seemingly out of nowhere. There was no time for any of this and thank goodness I let go of the leash and didn’t impede my dog from defending himself. After a very fast and furious fight, (I’ve never seen anything move so fast in real life), the pit bull was on his back and my dog was holding him there. I called my dog and we left while the pit bull got up and scurried off. From that day on my dog was on the offensive with every dog, even from afar he wanted to fight and lunge any approaching dogs. So yes it ruined him in that regard, so if you have time to react like this video instructs it’s well worth the advice.

Thanks for doing this video. It’s very helpful seeing the process of your leather products. I never shop at big box pet stores for anything anymore for many reasons. It’s overpriced junk in my opinion. I have one of your 2” wide leather agitation collars and I love it. It’s such quality craftsmanship and buttery soft feeling leather too. I’ll be ordering a leather agitation harness from you next.

Most dog fights I have broken up have been from people that only use positive reinforcement. People don't understand every dog is different, and some dogs need discipline and structure to live a happy life and not be a danger to those around them.

I am here because my two female dogs who are siblings were in a bad fight the other one even had deep cuts. They were in heat and I seperated them for a week now. And every time they see each other they just want to kill each other. They are not even leash trained and that's my fault. Does caging them next to each other with half a meter gap work?

I want to be kind to these people, but my blood is boiling. Ducks swim, birds fly and Pitbulls fight. End of story.

Thank you so much for this video! My German Shepard and Boston Terrier have been with my family for a year and came with an e-collar. I have attempted watching training videos several times and still don't feel ready to train properly with it. I've shared this with my husband and feel justified in my hesitation. I have much dog training to learn before using this Pro Educator.

I agree completely...fear reactions are so misunderstood. My last vet was dumb and showed their fear and I had a muzzle on my dog. Thanks for reminding me to check the size too.

I had to pause it to laugh at the baby /puppy comment...lol

Brilliant video, so much useful information. Thank you so much !

I can't believe that in this day and age & in the United States of America, that there isn't such a thing as contraceptives for dogs????

Most people will spay or neuter their animals, for no other reason than they keep hearing it's the thing to do. Not everybody gets into veterinary medicine behind a "Love" of animals, it's a very, VERY lucrative industry. with the smaller "Mom and Pop" style vet clinics being bought out by VCA & with their investors that have nothing whatsoever to do with animals other than as a cash cow. You should always be wary, no matter what it is about somebody advising you to do something, that's going to cost you money- if you select them to do the work.

My dogs were together since my baby was born. They were father and son. After 2-3 years since 2022 I've had to separate them. Bc they will fight until exhaustion if they accidentally come in contact. I'm at a hopeless state of ever getting them back together again. The dad was such a doting daddy abd they did well so long. There came a jealousy over me.. hindsight 20/20 I was treating them fairly and unintentionally messed up the pack leadership. Dad shoulda stayed as alpha dog. I didn't know this and now I dont know how to undo it. It's so sad.

My neighbours has a cockapoon and it is aggressive. I have had.to report it to the council.and police

Pure door 91

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love

Thank you for your dedication to the truth in dog training.

that is false that neutering helps the dog even after maturity. they get more diseases, studies show. learn from Dr. Judy & Dr. Karen Becker.

Remote collars are god sent, they work so well and I am a firm believer in testing it on myself so i understand what each impulse means. With my dog i will never go above 30, that gets as good of a response as a chain collar and my training is at 6.

Randomly ran across this vid. I had a dog that was a descendant of Corsully Vom Leerburg. Too bad you guys stopped your GSD breeding, AMAZING dog.

I'm a dog groomer. While I don't allow owners to stay while I'm cutting their dog's hair because it makes for an anxious, distracted dog, I will absolutely do a live video on fb and let them watch the entire process if they wish. Too many pet "professionals" learned from online classes or people who are like this guy. Yes, a GSD needs to be socialized. But there were so many red flags in this story.

Thank you. I'm always looking for better ways to choke things. And this looks perfect. I use flat collars on dogs. But this kind of collar is good for using on certain types of dog trainers

Ed, this is why you are a God in the training communities and respected everywhere you go. Every time you open your mouth you absolutely nail the answer! Some Dogs have limits and not every Dog is cut out to be a superstar and this does not mean that they are not good Dogs. My Dog is an example of what you are talking about here. He is an American Showline German Shepherd and he is low to medium drive. Instead of me sitting around whining about it I try to make the most of every minute I spend with him. The expression "Train the Dog you have in front of you" definitely applies. There is a Trainer who does a lot of videos and has done well in the IGP arenas and he is always complaining to his audiences about "how soft this Dog is" or "how hard this Dog is" and he always blames the Dog as the reason why he can't advance in the sport. I get that to sell more videos he has to win competitions but IMO he would do a lot better making the most of the Dog he has in front of him instead of always looking for another "better" Dog.

My Labrador (the first one I've ever had) always carefully sniffs a treat when I hand it to her before she eats it. No big deal, but does anyone know how selective breeding produces this kind of behavior? My Mini Schnauzer just snap ups the treats in a millisecond, which I've always assumed was the doggy norm.

This is the most important exercise to teach a dog!! I've been doing this same training for over 60 years. I've lived in the mountains for 50+ years and my criteria is that my pups don't come off the leash (or long line) until I know that I can call them off a fox or a herd of deer. This means that they turn on a dime and leave change and come running back as soon as I call!! (I raised and trained Siberian Huskies for 20 years. I was able to call three Sibes off a porcupine one day when we were out in the woods. Whew. The training works!). I haven't done as much as usual with a young year old Border Collie yet because he had so many problems as a very young pup when he came to me for rehabilitation. I have trained him to sit and stay at the top of my driveway while I cross the road to get my mail. Recently, as I got my mail, I turned to see him streaking down the road and then saw a herd of deer crossing in front of him. I called him once and, by golly, he turned on a dime, left change and came RUNNING back to me. A good test, for sure. (Yes, he broke his stay, but got lavish praise for coming!). So listen to Ed. He knows what he is talking about!!

I like the term reflexive. I try to describe what the dogs response to a recall should be in our training group, and reflexive is the word I have been looking for. Thanks Ed.

I enjoyed your honesty... very blunt, matter of fact, to the point! Thank you for sharing!

Just found your channel a couple of weeks back, really enjoy your content. My wife and I have 2 Jack Russells, the breeder is JRTCA all the way, so they are bred for hunting. I don't hunt them - the 6 year old male finds a way of doing that for himself. The 7 month old female is just incredibly smart. I've been using some of the methods on your videos and they work really well considering they are smart and stubborn sometimes. I enjoy your no b.s. way of explaining things. My wife told me I should take some training courses so l'm looking at yours specifically. Thanks for putting out so much great content.

I very much agree with you and I’m a dog trainer as well!

I just love watching this ❤ Not only great content, but listening to Michael Ellis teach is one of the most enjoyable things in life to do. Such a great comminicator, with dogs & humans. Such a legend ❤ 💪

Excellent information. Thank you!

It’s funny . All positive dog trainer explain that dog is clouser to the child than to the wolf but they don’t apply same system of education 🪦👌

My dogs can overpower me with a slip not with a prong. Not aggressive just head strong and my male hates the sound the prong makes putting it on, I have to corner him to get it on. Can I switch to a dominant dog collar? Will it work the same as a prong?

I have used Leesburg's dominant dog collar for years There is nothing like the control it gives you It is east to teach your students to use it properly as well

I purchased a Herm Springer for my Australian Shepherd when she was about 6mo and it worked great however because of her long coat fur gets entangled in it because of the working action of the HS. After seeing this video I decided to purchase one and give it a try. The Keeper Collar worked great with zero entanglement. I love it! And not having to use a safety line is icing on the cake. Definitely getting a second. 🇺🇸

What if everything is high value for your dog? What is lower than kibble

We use smaller shackles, and didn't know this was a thing. Good to know. No webbing stretches that much... maybe 1/16 of stretch.

it will be perfect if you add stoper, so it can stays up behind the ear

Like reinventing the wheel. They've already got slip leads with stops for this. This used to be a dog training channel, now it's like watching newest gadget of the week sales channel.

Worst design ever .

The access cord of a normal slip collar just become an extention of a separate lead you simple adjust your hand position to compensate, absolutely no need for extra arm movement to apply either pressure or a correction. Exactly the same as a 1 pce slip lead.

The slip collar is on backwards for Heavens sake!

I understand these people though, they just want to make sure dogs are not being abused, but i bet that if they had extremely aggressive dogs, they'd eventually realize that pure positive training just doesn't work for when their dog is in tunnel vision.

Very clever! I've been a top trainer for over 60 years, but never have seen this before. (I don't have big-headed dogs, but this is such important knowledge!). Thanks.

Great video Ed

In which streaming course of leerberg this is available?

I have a male (intact) and a spayed female. I spayed the female because i honestly didn't want to deal with the menstral cycles.

Just ordered my pup some! So excited to see how this changes our training sessions!
