1. Sit 2. Stay 3. Break 4. Walking right beside you 5. Come to you 6. Leave it

[@SunnyvaleTrailerParkSupervisor]

Thanks :)

[@georgecunningham562]

@TwinTurbo Ray come to you=heel

[@KevinORourke25]

Our dogs look to us for guidance and direction and we look to Will for guidance and direction. He's just the best behaviorist you will find. By way of Will's instruction, I have taught my Pitt/cattle dog to heel and he does it beautifully, and his recall is excellent without distractions. Working up to the next step. Thanks Will.

[@chrisgleesonx]

Hi mate, how did you manage to get him to do these without breaking ? I've thought my new Golden Doodle pup to sit and a few other important things from Wills instruction but the one thing I can't get him to do is it consistently listen to me when there is other distraction

[@KevinORourke25]

@@chrisgleesonx Turn the distraction into a motivator for reward. I adopted a cattle dog/ Pit bull mix and he was over-reactive to everything especially squirrels. Every time he saw a squirrel I would pull him away (correct him) and in a strong voice I would say "YES". Eventually, he learned that squirrel meant "YES" and "YES" meant reward. Eventually, (you have to be patient) he connected the squirrel with a reward and he just started turning toward me whenever he saw a squirrel. The reward has to be very High Value ( I used beef) so that he was more motivated for the reward than the squirrel. It took about 3 weeks to a month to accomplish but it was so very worth it. Good luck!

Will is the best.

Excellent comment 👍🏼

[@doublesushi33]

I started training my a year old black lab two months ago and now he can perform all these commands. A large part of our success is due to your channel! Thanks for all your help, Will!

[@annief9752]

One of your videos came up as a suggested video, and I've been binge watching ALL of them. Though I've completed the k9ti training program and continue to work on all of those commands and skills, my 9-month old 60# bernedoodle pulls on walks and has become very reactive to other dogs who constantly lunge and bark at him. It injured my should since he's so big. So three days ago, I bought a slip leash and implemented your major relationship/training styles and commands, and BOOM 💥🤯 LIFE CHANGING WILL!!! Eye contact, looking for direction, heeling almost perfectly, recall has improved by leaps and bounds, indoor listening improved. FANTASTIC

[@finalcountdown3210]

Just make sure you keep up with it almost every day. We got too comfortable with our 1 year old dog, and we've had to back track because we were like, "oh, he learned it!"

[@annief9752]

@@finalcountdown3210 definitely. I've kept up several times daily with trainings and am very strict, but adding these things (which I'll continue to do daily) have been life changing (for me and our dog!!)

Really like the way you give info. Clear, concise, and to the point. This is a great way to lead people into the beginnings of training but not overwhelm them.

Me to im a cat person lol but i started to binge watching his videos. Really nice videos with seriousness about it.

Best advice ever. And simple commands too

[@alp6244]

Nine months ago, I acquired a re-homed 5 yr. old Standard Frenchie, who I was told was fully trained. Well, it’s been an experience. This video about the basics in dog training, is so helpful. I need to reinforce several of your training tips: *leave it, *recall, *loose-lead walking. Sit and stay she has down pretty well, although, I live in a rural area, and sometimes birds & squirrels distract her, which shows she may need reinforcement in those areas too. Love all your brilliant videos, Will. Well done!

My daughter has done your perfect puppy course, and SIT is so good as the dog is not perfect yet. So if dog gets distracted she just tells dog to SIT, and dog calms down.

[@josephnolan2607]

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and expertise with us. My family are getting our first puppy in two months time and we are just soaking ourselves in your techniques so that when our new family member comes home, she'll know that we are balanced, calm and consistent canine leaders.

Hi Will! It’d be so helpful if you made a video on what are the good and bad ways to leave a dog when going for a 1-2 week vacation.

[@drewnicest4319]

Awesome video

[@rozannaedwro934]

You always make it looks so easy and you seem to have instant success. With my Dutch Shepherd it is like Bill Murray’s ground hog day eevery day.😳😵‍💫🙀

[@icantthinkofascreenname3064]

Yeah, and when you don’t have access to a training field to work on recall it is a bit frustrating. I am feeding 3/4 of my boy’s kibble throughout the day for training but still working on recall outside on walks. I need a long line for training but if he’s sniffing around the food reward isn’t enough to get him to recall consistently, I have a 15’ retractable leash and even with a prong collar if he wants to do something it’s hard to get him to leave it unless we’ve been walking on a “heel”. Once he gets freedom he doesn’t listen well till after I keep him walking with me on a loose-ish leash, but he’s got more energy than I have time to tire him out both ways. I bought a training program online only to find out it’s for puppies & food rewards, I’d have to buy another course to get problem solving, and yet another to get ecollar training. And none of these guys have cheap prices..

[@andyreeves8941]

Hi Will, have you ever trained a Norwegian Elkhound? They are barky independent breed. I’ve a two year old that’s quite reactive to everything and I’m torn between this being part of the breed and her being nervous or anxious. How do I tell the difference?

[@jugado219]

I just commented on one of your shorts. Can you please do a video and shorts about blue heelers . Any info you can share. There are no good videos out there about blue heelers. Thank you!

[@Ijibu404]

Hi Will, really appreciate your content! Would like to know if you have any tips on how to train your dog to run next to you when you ride your bicycle or go horse riding. Would love to be able to have my dogs run free next to me in that way so I could offer them much more varied excerise and bonding. If any fellow commenters have expercience with this then I would love to hear your tips!

Sit is a state of mind and heart.

[@tryitout7435]

Ha new to your channel. I was browsing KZbin and saw a video about not pulling on leash, my dog is good at that but could be better, so I put it on... My dog heard you talking to the dog in the video and instantly became very interested. He watched the whole video with me! I figured hey, I better subscribe to this guy! Then we watched this one, when I put it on he sat right when your said sit, and continued to watch with me ha ha ha cracked me up.

[@corashaw7774]

was wondering would you consider a puppy playlist?

[@gracie_l_lee]

Hey, I’ve got a question. I have a border collie who’s perfectly fine and sweet, but if he hears a higher pitch voice from someone he doesn’t know, like a random person using baby talk or something, he goes absolutely insane- like we have to grab him or we fear he will attack. Got any ideas on what’s going on here, or how to stop it?

[@Hoopfan83]

This is the best dog trainer imho

[@Peevesmeister]

Hi Will, after 6 months of positive only training we've seen little progress and have begun following your guidance. One thing our trainer told us about our German Shepherd/Lab cross is that they should earn all their food via training or toys like Kong/Fenrir hammer and not be fed at set intervals. Would you agree? It sounded like a gimmick to me.

[@norest4dawicked402]

@willathertoncaninetraining I have a serious question. I have a 8 month old American bulldog and she's a great dog but it's like she will not go number 2 outside. Why is this and what can I do to correct this and get her to go to the bathroom outside?

New to Cane corso breed. Used to have a Rottweiler male. Now have cane corso girl pup. 14 weeks. She will not eat at normal meal times. Graises and moves on. Takes fw bites and wonders off then comes back to eat a few bites but never a full meal in one sitting. What am I doing wrong or any suggestions ?

[@ryanwells9242]

What do I do to help keep my family’s dogs from fighting each other? They’re both jealous dogs and try to get love from the same person at the same time or try to take each others food and it causes them to snap on each other and it’s pretty bad fights. They’re both mini Australian shepherds and one is 4 and the other is 3 I believe

My dog sits reliably. He stays well. He “leaves it” reliably. He now walks on a loose leash (used to pull terribly). He knows his left paw from his right paw. He will take a bow, lay down, speak and say I Love You on command. He “comes” when there is zero distraction. Otherwise, he literally will refuse eye contact and become stubborn. How do I change that behavior?

[@jemmawolf4150]

Oh boy, ditto. Other dogs around....I am no longer valid in her life!

[@banefulbty]

You have to train commands in different environments. If A dog knows a command in the house, the only know it in the house. You have re train commands in every néw 😊environment until their consistent

I am in 6 months gonna be a first time dog owner, my wife has a diploma in taking care of dogs cats and farm animals. And i myself got some experience in training some smaller dogs of friends. We really want a dog of our own, and are both looking at a large protective dog breeds (rotweiler, cane corso) we want to own only 1 for a while. My question is: we want to be responsible and getting everything prepared so we can take on this difficult first time owner task, after watching hours and hours of videos and reading books, what is something else we can still do to make sure that even as a first time owner we get a happy and healthy dog for our little family?

I've started using a flirt pole to exercise my 6 month old corgi mix, and she's downright wicked good at it. My problem is that when she finally gets her reward, she's latched onto it like an alligator and doesn't want to release. What can I do? Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated, as I view this as a training tool/exerciser only, not a toy. I'm also careful to keep it to a minimum so her joints stay healthy.

@@timgross6915 don’t think of it as bribing, think of it as giving them payment for a job well done. We hate doing things for free, so do dogs. Eventually, they will do it regardless of treats but its always best to reinforce. Thats how I’ve done it with mine and it works a treat, excuse the pun.

Hope you figured it out! Mine barks like crazy sometimes at strangers, worse when it's the gf who has him. Working that out seems like a challenge. For stay I think it helps w hand motions. I started w making him sit for his food and if he tried to get up I would start the whole process of setting it down , over. I then worked on sit and stay that lead to a come where I slowly increased time and distance of stay to come. GSD require attention n training, I am finding out. In a good way. Haha

Is there a video to teach your dog break. I made the mistake to just let my puppy (14 weeks) sniff everything he wants and now im teaching him to walk properly on the lead but i dont understand when he is supposed to poo and pee. Usually when i take him out thats the first thing he needs to do so seems impossible to expect him to follow.

[@JM-vz6ok]

How do you teach a dog to break?

[@PietyFailed]

I taught mine by luring them out of a sit and stay with a treat, whilst saying the break command. After several repetitions they learn to associate break with leaving the position, and you then ween them off the treats and give them praise instead

Iv had my 1 year old Doberman about a week he's pretty smart. The break was everytime he is fed he has to sit and stay but if he moves early the bowl stays in my hand he soon got the gist.
