5 MORE Tips To Stop Your Dog From Pulling On The Leash

There are no quick fixes in dog training. But when you have a strategy for fixing your problems, your training starts to work! In this video, you'll learn about 5 MORE quick tips to stop your dog from pulling on the leash. In a previous video, we talked about some simple training tips that will help you to have more control when it comes to teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash. In this video, Instructor Steve will take a deeper look at some more of the choices you'll need to make when you're actually in the process of training your dog. Some of these tips are things that you can start using right away at any stage of your leash walking training. Other tips will prepare you for a few of the more advanced walking challenges. We've said it before, but having a plan for your leash walking training is crucial. And if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. By understanding the training choices in this video, you'll be taking a step (pun intended) toward more enjoyable walks with your four-legged family member!

Just the grass alone distracts my dog 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@helendrohan6077]

Great video! I'm exhausted having to walk my 2 dogs separately; a few weeks ago, my 12 yr old started copying my 18 month old new rescue by charging at everything and everyone that moves. I walk the 18 month old with lots of chicken treats, she is doing better but has a very strong prey drive. She does great at the dog park, plays and wrestles with no problems...but she is Godzilla on a leash. She had a raw neck wound when I got her 8 months ago; she was probably chained outdoors. Rescue group couldn't give me any info. Your videos have been extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@angiquehines2991]

This is exactly what's happening to me..I just rescued a pitbull. N he's teaching my cane corso to pull. So u can only imagine how hard n tiring that is...they are both 2.5...

[@micheleborthwick6832]

I think you need to add "consistency" to this list :) - I know I have not been consistent and my 24 lb, field bred English Cocker is so difficult to take for a walk! We also have an older dog (12), and I know training him with the older dog there is that much harder! I feel so guilty taking the younger without the older but have started to realize that the older guy is still not getting to go for walks because we are now avoiding them due to younger guys behavior. So I guess, he only loses out for the short term if I just buckle down and try these tips (consistently :) ) Will let you know how it goes - thanks for these videos!

[@NovaandthePastapup]

Thank you so much for all your videos! My dog is a serious struggle because nothing i say or do is of value to her, treats barely give her incentive :( its been a long road and we still have work to do.

I have a 4 month havanese. So. Much. Repetition. Once thing that is hard for me is the constant bending over to reward. My dog is REALLY low to the ground. I use a lot of these methods and his leash skills have gotten better.

[@moodist1er]

teach it to catch treats

[@abcdefggg5658]

Thank you for the advice. I would love to know how to properly give correction to our 3mo old Golden Retreiver. Hes amazing when i give treats! I know he can do it but his attention span is short and i need to give corrections on the 3/8 inch slip lead (6ft). Feels a bit harsh on his even though i try and place it hight near his ears and jaw.

[@777Revolutionary]

The pace really helped my 12 week old pup stay focused and he likes to “check in” with me. So cute..when he does get excited outside or indoors when playing, he starts to nip like a little shark lol can you guys make more videos on puppy nipping? I think I’ve seen them all and the collar technique almost triggers that craziness even more. House line helps but I’d rather figure out a more proactive approach than reactive..Help me! Lol he doesn’t break skin but it’s still a bit frustrating

[@electrofx6133]

Can you guys give a complete guide on training a gsd

[@dloveofgod8269]

Great video, yes more of dog pulling on a leash like a bee on a string 🐝 lol add barking to the tugging.

[@chelsibarnes7989]

I have tried the treat training for walking and my 4 month old pup wants nothing to do with it no matter if we are in a quiet place or fast paced and shes very treat motivated unless it comes to walking so not sure what else to do. Is there a specific harness you would recomend to help? Or any other tricks?

[@angiquehines2991]

Does it matter how often u walk them.. I walk my dogs mainly on the weekends...they pull as if they never been out...I have a pitbull n cane corso..they are both 2.5...my pit is about 95 lbs..my cane is about 140 lbs..

[@ddcollier9543]

My dog is about 6 years old and I’ve had her about 3 months. I walk with a walker and she pulls me so bad. Sometimes I nearly fall or the walker almost falls over. I’ve tried pulling on the leash and saying no don’t pull but it’s not working. Any thoughts would be great. Thank you

[@kekkelpenneypeckeltoot5700]

Our issue is not pulling with our new 11 week Dane. It is him jumping at me, grabbing my pants and every now and then getting some leg on too ( or my shoes and or laces) grabbing his leash etc. He doesn’t care if I use a deeper sharper voice, ahah, a high squeal, toy or treat, he wants to grab and tug everything. This happens everywhere. He’d chew his house line all day if he could. Help please!

[@LeonBosset]

Watch a few e-collar videos.

[@YawaruSan]

I’ve been having trouble with this, I have two dogs and the younger one still pulls relentlessly, is it better to train him individually?

[@darialois1]

Yes I’d work with them separately as you need to give a dog 100 % your focus.

[@laurenml1222]

I have the same issue.

[@YawaruSan]

Lauren Lopez yeah, I’m discovering that they both need to go at the same time so it feels bad to take one out first, but I’m realizing I had a lot of time to train Kenzo by himself first, so trying to take them out at the same time doesn’t allow me to properly train them individually. You have two dogs as well?

[@laurenml1222]

Guillermo Gonzalez yes. I got them together in May and have been training separately and together. But like you said. They need to go out at the same time and it feels wrong to leave one inside while the other goes out! They’re terrific boys, well behaved for 6 months old- but the larger one loves to pull. I do find that when I say “look at me,” I get their attention immediately so that’s good. They know they’re routine is a good brisk walk each morning so to take that away would be sad. I think I’ll start spending more individualize time with the bigger guy so we can work on his pulling. I use goldfish crackers on our walks, so I’ll follow his advice here.

[@YawaruSan]

Lauren Lopez yeah, I felt the same way, though I realized that when the pulling dog sets the pace, the other dog doesn’t enjoy the walk as much and both seem more tense as I walk them. It’s about quality over quantity time, though it’s twice the work for walking them, the sacrifices we make for our dogs right?

[@PJG1710]

Our Jack RussellMIX is approx 8mos-1 yr.. At home she is pretty good and listens well. Another story: No outside social skills and barks at people and other dogs. Now I have tried to distract her and its not working real good. Her pulling is there but not terrible... WIP. Hoping the Gentle Leader Headcollar, works for the pulling. HELP

[@mrfsealah]

I am trying to walk my grandson’s lab/pitbull mix and he is a puller. I walk in a quiet cul de sac neighborhood where the biggest distractions are trees. 🙄 I guess I need to bring snacks and keep to the middle of the street. If I have the strength. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

How can I make my 4 months old husky puppy to stop pulling when he has to sniff and when he see other dogs? I let him sniff for 5 seconds and he’s good to go but he won’t move when he sees another dog so I have to wait for them to leave.

[@foxybuddy]

This method bworks perfectly with my dog when he is hungry. But other time, nope

[@Jcislrd7]

What do you use as treats? My pup loves her treats but she's not fully enticed, some times the thing that distracts her is more powerful than the treats even me using my voice 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@cameronh123456]

I use pupford freeze fried treats. My dog likes them all, but I like to use the sweet potato ones, as they dont smell like the salmon ones. Less than 1 cal per treat and they give over 475!

[@jackiebarlow4920]

👍👏👏👏🐶😍 x

[@harveythebordercollie2918]

I will pull as I'm no fool but give me a treat that is made out of meat then I will try to not make you sigh now give me my damn meat treat hooman

[@LeonBosset]

Why left side? Most walk training videos recommend the same.

[@reynapacheco4267]

How can I stop my dog from whining?? everytime he is ask to wait like when he is at the door to go out or for his food or if he just wants to keep walking he will star whining and crying. People just turn and look at me they think I'm hurting him. Pleas help!! he is not pulling that much thanks to you guys

[@karamkaur1761]

If he whines on the walk make sure u leave him alone in the backyard and go inside and watch through window without him noticing you. Let him whine for couple minutes and if he still continues tell him to quite, pet him and leave again. I did this with my puppy and he doesn’t whine no more. Make sure u start to leave your dog outdoor while u are indoor that will bring a lot of difference.

[@glittery_cucumber]

The most frustrating thing about owning a puppy in a big city is that basically every person you walk by addresses the dog and wants to engage with it. I'm honestly shocked how many people think it's ok to purposefully distract a young dog by clicking their tongue, talking to it or even touching it without asking. I would love to be able to drive to the middle of a field and train my dog in silence, but it's just not an option.

[@toniwoni121]

Couldn’t agree more with this!! And unfortunately asking people to step back or wait like in this video doesn’t work; there’s unfortunately no respect or patience.

[@darialois1]

Can you show us your technics for dog afraid of strangers who insist on approaching you and your scared dog to say hello Please.

[@Slam-]

I’m here because I have a beagle who pulls like a sled dog haha

[@ingobaby1]

Our SBT is usually excellent when walking, until we meet other dogs or humans on our way. He is getting better every walk, but it’s a long process. If someone wants to follow Odin’s progress, you can subscribe to our channel. It’s still fairly new, but I plan on showing his training and progress as we continue with our videos.

I have COPD and can't walk quickly. Plus my other dog walks even slower behind me. So I'm trying to get one to concentrate and walk slower and the other not to plod along and catch up.

[@colinlee7644]

Priblem is when i bring my dog out, she does not want to take treats. She seems afraid and be very conscious about the environment. Any nouse will kind of scare her. Butnhse is 2 years d already

[@shawnwhittle98]

Literally everything distracts my dog, he's from the bush and I'm not kidding when I say EVERY smell distracts him. He doesn't care for treats while we're walking, and just resumes pulling as soon as we do the stop/turning around method.

[@ashleystanley4624]

Beagle owner here🤚🏻 Dear God help me! That nose is active constantly! It is so hard to get five steps without him wanting to stop and explore a random smell.

[@emmamemma4162]

Ah yes, that's the best and the worst thing about owning a hound. So amazing how they are in tune with their noses, so annoying when they won't pay attention to you because that blade of grass desperately needs sniffing. We're slowly reaching an equilibrium with our 16 month hound, she'll heel for a little while and then we tell her "go sniff" which means she can explore but not pull on the leash. It's not 100%, but most of the time she'll give up on a scent and pay attention when asked to. Hang in there :)

[@ashleystanley4624]

Emma Blomqvist Thanks for the encouragement. My beagle is only 3 months, so he is very much still a baby with a lot to learn. I have never trained a puppy before, so I have a lot to learn too. He is sweet as sugar, so that makes it all worth it.

[@emmamemma4162]

@@ashleystanley4624 Beagles are absolutely lovely. 100% hound! And 3 months is super duper young, a bit of treat training on the leash is fine, but don't drive yourself crazy trying to do it all at once. Sometimes it's OK to put your puppy on a harness and let them explore and sniff to their heart's content.

[@PaulBrownclk-me]

My 6 month old cocker thinks she is pulling a sled, she loves treats at home, but she ain’t got time for treats whens shes out.. why do all these videos use well behaved dogs ? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@glittery_cucumber]

I agree... My main issue with leash training videos is they never show a realistic walking situation. Like just trying to get from point A to point B in a straight line in maybe 5 minutes. It's always training grounds, parks etc. where they just walk back and forth a few feet with no other dogs, people or traffic in sight. I have honestly not found a single video on youtube that gives you tips on how to stop pulling on an actual walk, it's always basics like teach them to hang out with you, take 5 steps then stop and reward etc. Saying this as someone who loves the McCann content!

[@samijo_bb]

Pfft like anyone will walk back n forth to pet a dog.. 😆

[@allfacts19]
