Very nice video.. you provide al lot of information! My dog is just like that but I cant let him offleash in the forest. To high prey drive and he wont listen anymore when he sees a deer. Do you have any training tips/exercises to control prey drive? I saw your video when you toss the ball and the dog stays in place. Brownie also stays in place with the 'stay' command. Also with toys. But not when there is deer... I see the deer maybe 3-4 times a year so I can't train with them but thats to much to risk offleash walking. I love trailrunning so it would be awesome if I can make him stay or in heel position when we spot something.

This is the BEST place video I’ve ever seen. My pupper needed this so badly, I can’t wait to go through these levels with her.

Good in theory but uour try this with a chihuahua. They are stubborn beyond belief and would rather starve than eat something they don't want to eat. Plus they have a high chance of hypoglycemia and because they're so small if they go too long between meals they can have seizures and all sorts of fun complications.

but you're saying this assuming all your watchers might be right handed? I'm a lefty :D

May I know, how long it take to have that result? From the reactive state to the non reactive state.

9:00

I don’t want my dog leading me so he doesn’t get the entire 6 feet constantly but he can also heel in a loose leash position as well. I always enjoy these videos and have learned a ton. Train your dog to loose leash walk and keep focused on you before walking in this way

I saw another content creator call his walks a “sniffari” and that is so accurate.

I only started your program (although I’ve watched many of your videos) and I immediately realized marking is one of the highest rewards for my dog. He will hold his pee (even though we have a back yard) as long as possible, so he can mark as many spots as he can on our walk (also a minimum of 20 times). He will eventually use the bathroom in the backyard if he has to and not pee in the house, but he absolutely loves marking the neighborhood - only releasing just enough to have more for other spots. I’m keeping that in mind when it comes to our training. (“We don’t decide what is rewarding for our pets”). Thanks for all your knowledge, I thought I knew some basics but you have really helped me get our training to the next level.

Great advice. Thankyou

Clearly this kid has never had a dog that pulls lol. Worst video KZbin has ever recommended

Hi Miles, I've been making my way through your fantastic youtube videos and I'm subscribed to your emails and considering buying your online programme. The big question I have is...can I apply the same theory using slightly different tools? Specifically: a sound/vibration collar instead of ecollar, and a martingale collar instead of prong? I know these are softer signals but my partner isn't comfortable with the shock/prong so I'm looking for a decent alternative.

3:25 you look so stiff, is your back hurting? relax bro

I didn't see any reactivity. You went straight to step six. Where was the lunging and absolute freakout? Another thing about these videos is, the dog already has a lot of training. I think it would be good to point out that before you can address reactivity you have to get the basics down.

When a dog is deeply ingrained in aggressive or hyperactive behavior, it can feel like traditional methods like food or positive reinforcement alone aren’t enough to regain control. In such situations, I think a combination of approaches can help: Management first: Before addressing the behavior itself, it's important to manage the environment to prevent escalation. This means avoiding situations where the dog can rehearse undesirable behaviors. Crate training, safe spaces, or controlled walks with appropriate gear (e.g., a prong collar or a head halter) can be helpful in safely managing out-of-control dogs. Structured routines and boundaries: Clear, consistent boundaries can be grounding for an anxious or aggressive dog. This includes setting up a predictable daily routine for feeding, walks, training, and rest. It helps the dog understand that they don't have to act aggressively to get what they need. Focus on impulse control: Building up impulse control can be key. You might use techniques like "place" training, where the dog learns to settle in a specific area until given the release cue. This can help the dog learn to focus and de-escalate. Counter-conditioning: If the dog has a specific trigger for aggression (e.g., other dogs, strangers), working on desensitizing them to these triggers while pairing the trigger with positive experiences can shift the emotional response over time. It may not involve food immediately, but something else rewarding-like a favorite toy or praise-could help build positive associations. Leash pressure and release techniques: These can be helpful to regain attention, especially with dogs who have a lot of built-up energy or aggression. The goal is to use light pressure to help the dog understand boundaries and stop certain behaviors, followed by release once the dog relaxes. This is not punishment but a way to provide clarity to the dog.

Thank you so much for your videos. I spent money on a dog trainer who was no help for me or my dog. I’m taking it upon myself to train him, so I can’t thank you enough!

the handler is not relaxed

Hi ya Krisy from uk

Miles. My dog currently being trained with an E collar, and would react to other dogs. The other day I took him to the dog park. We stayed outside for awhile. Finally I put him on a long leash and we went in. To my amazement there was no reactivity. I let him engage with other dogs. No problem. I took off the leash, he goes freely to other dogs, no problem. I recall him, no problem. He's a lot happier and stress free. All he wanted to do was go play with other dogs. Now we go on walks with a long leash if we're not at the park. Our walks are now a lot more pleasant.

Not sure I agree with this many other trainers focus on counterconditioning and desensitization not punishment for fear based behaviors

Would love to see a similar video for the heel command!

Great information! Im enjoying all of your dog training through my membership!! Thank you very much. and i think your sweatshirt is awesome! please share the link to purchase one.

Its interesting because the little yelps when he gets a stim are because hes so aroused. I have a gsd who is literally the same dog. Arousal level and the way he acts and interacts with the world. Can handle a correction until hes really aroused then you get the little yelp.

Is it in a dogs nature to be reactive to other dogs and my definition of reactive is once they see a dog they go in the curious mode w there ears perked and wanting to go and meet the dog not in a agressive. My rott didn’t have other dogs to play w and if he saw a dog he’s make a cry type noise and want to meet them bad

There was a shitzu I’d walk and idk if it’s just of that breed but she’d grab the leash w her mouth as if she was walking herself and wouldn’t stop

Nailed it!

You are a great teacher.❤

Brilliant video. Thank you MIles. Your AMAZING.

This guy looks like Noel fr

Fabulous information.

The real lesson starts at 17:25 for those already familiar with the psychology of anxious reactivity to unfamiliar dogs.

My dog is reactive toward strangers. Can you do a video about fixing that behavior?

Please stop using a neck collar only, instead of a harness. The risk of throat, trachea (windpipe) collapse, and thyroid gland injuries, to name a few, is high when pulling on a dog collar. Also, muscle strain and vertebrae damage. Plus, would you want to have your own neck tugged at or yanked on? My daughter is an Emergency/Critical Care veterinary doctor, and sees the results of pet owners who don’t use harnesses.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤ You are the best. Amazing videos.

That's one horny dawg...

Thank you for making this so clear. You speak and show your knowledge.

What is your location? Your video only showed 1 other person with a dog & a napper.

Will the correction still be effective for phase three outside of a prong collar?

it's waaaaaaay beyond dog training 😂 thanks, now I have the unresistable urge to share this with my boss(es)

Would this work the same with a fear of cyclists? My heading dog barks & wants to chase bikes as well as barking lunging at other dogs while on a lead. Thankyou.

That's a huge park! I wish I had a park like that where I live. It's hard to find parks that aren't by busy streets.

hey! my family and i love your videos. if you could do a quick super short video on teaching a dog how to heel (my belgian malinois will not follow a food lure to get into position for the life of her) we'd greatly appreciate it!

My akita is like this boy everything gets her alert and excited, what do you do to fix this when you cant use an ecollar for there attention

Step1からStep2,Step3へ進むタイミングはどのようになったら進めれられますか？

Very wise! Instead of the word "fault" I'd use the word "responsibility." But you're 💯

I'd love to take your course but it's not within my budget. Do you have someone a little more basic that is more affordable? Thank you

valuble information. Thanks. That jacket is fire too

I had a stray Podenco for 10 years, she already learnt road boundaries by herself. She was my riding companion and i never had a problem riding along a highway, her following my horse, checking the traffic! Dogs are extremely intelligent.

Another great great video, thank you🙏🏽🐕
