The best no bs trainer out there !!

[@dog640]

Hey man! Got some questions for you. Doesnt this technique make the walk unenjoyable for the dog if he/she has no chance to look/sniff around? And also i just got a three month puppy a couple days ago and just wanted to know how fast should i be on top of all this training?

[@robertjohnsongunsmoke7835]

Excellent advice. Old school basics....As a retired Police K9 handler, your methods are sound and effective. NOTE to new dog owners: seek help from a professional trainer if you can't do this on your own, 90% of the problems I've seen in over 40 years are with or because of the owner/handler!

[@sekurmsekurm7343]

@@sekurmsekurm7343Dogs you train get put down

[@miskervbhsd8619]

@@sekurmsekurm7343 you didn't even watch the video and have no clue what are prong collars/e collars. Prong collars are less painful than normal collars if your dog is pulling. E-Collars are the last of the last possibilities for dog to correct it's behaviour before it would be put to sleep. If all your life you had a chihuahua and yorkies, on behalf of dog trainers and professional dog owners, don't state your BS over the internet making people think prong collars are bad. Even in the video 80% of the job done was not through the collar itself but with positive reinforcement BUT prong is much better for you dog than normal collar if it's pulling/being aggressiive since it signals wrong behaviour instead of choking the dog. If the dog ain't pulling prong collar isn't doing any harm to it, it's exactly how it works.

@@sekurmsekurm7343pop and pay with food. What’s unethical about that

[@IcicleFerret]

@@sekurmsekurm7343 It's far more unethical to let a dog drag the owner around and be an absolute nuisance to the community. Plus, those "force free" trainers are just trying to get you to buy their stuff. I have never met a positive-only trainer that could solve a problem with 2 tools: A leash and a collar. They need dog owners to buy more stuff: More treats, more pouches, lick sticks, calming sprays, special place mats, expensive harnesses, more training sessions, longer training sessions... the list goes on. They've been sold a lie in order to sell product. Enough. Dogs are not made of china. They will not break if you apply a little pressure. I encourage everyone to look up a video called "Experienced mother dog teachers her puppies a lesson in patience." It's just 2 minutes long. The puppies are under 8 weeks old. They display unacceptable behavior. Mom corrects them with a commensurate amount of violence. She doesn't bait them with treats, she doesn't wait for the puppies to get bored. She issues a stern correction, and the lesson is learned instantly.

I'm training my friend's dog while he is out of town for a few months.. Koda(9yrs) is a big dog, like rottweiler/husky/idk what else he said she is.. anyways, the pulling on the lead had to stop day one. I bought her a slip lead and using this technique she walks next to me amazingly. She does still get distracted by dogs.. and we are working on off lead recall still.. But with my blue heeler(3yrs) using these methods, he is perfectly off lead trained and I can walk down city streets with him freely. It's truly the best! Thanks so much from Cincinnati!

I started watching your short videos for a year before I got my German Shepherd . He just turned a year yesterday I believe he behaves very well. Thank you so much.

[@troy5292]

That's awesome! I love GSDs. They shed like it's a mutant superpower, but it's worth it to me. My last dog was a GSD mix and we had to put her down when she was 15, and that was from an aggressively growing tumor. We have two dogs, an outdoor cat (they get along like their own little pack), and a bearded dragon. We love them dearly, but they are just well loved pets. Our GSD was a functioning family member, far past a simple pet. Did you know Garret has very in-depth courses at DIYK9.com? Garret's the training in this video. Many people spend 50-100 hours trying to figure out how to train their dog to walk with manners on a leash where you could buy Garret's course for a very small fee. Less than what my wife and I spent on our last trip to Taco Bell. Considering how long dogs live, it's a no-brainer investment.

[@Alexanderss91]

I am back after watching to confirm it works. I just got my 1st dog a few months ago and was getting tired of him pulling me. I did my best to keep his leash pulled into me tight but after 5 mins of walking and keeping the leash tight my arm and shoulder were already getting stiff. But just a few mins after I took him out with the prong collar for the 1st time it was night and day difference. I followed his tips and now my dog is already starting to follow me and I can let go of my previous grip I had on the leash and he stays on me. Actually helped me so much. Thank you ❤

[@troy5292]

The full course is at DIYK9.com and called, "The Perfect Walk". There are a lot of other training courses there from puppy courses, obedience, leash and off leash (called Unleashed) for e-collar training if you want your dog to be trained to be fully off leash. Considering you'll have this dog for many years, or even have dogs the rest of your life, you'll be able to have them well trained and polite forever.

[@randalsaul6612]

I got a Staffordshire terroir when she was 3 years old. She pulled like a 18 wheeler truck. I used this method and with in minutes she was walking with out pulling on a loose leash. what a wonderful walker she is and I enjoy walking her now. When you know you know

[@sindhu1172]

When I initially started watching these videos, I felt bad for the dog. Overtime, I could understand the reason for this training and I felt it was necessary. When you really love your fur child, you should teach it good manners, potty training etc as it is your responsibility as a parent/ owner. Giving treats or pampering is not enough, it should be taught how to LIVE. Not training a puppy is the problem for many of the issues. Thank you for your channel because I don't own a dog but I'm able to understand the mentality of dogs and how we can make a better place for them. ❤

[@nikivantassel6772]

I did this yesterday with my 8 month old golden doodle. He was a nut on the leash and not fun to walk, so he would stay home while we would go on daily family walks. I used these tips and he was walking much better within 5-10 minutes. Today, I was able to take him for a walk while also pushing my toddler on his scooter. He walked nice and respectfully for me (not perfect, but a massive improvement already). I’m now excited thinking about going on future walks with him. Thank you for these videos! He’s an anxious boy, so now I need to work on his confidence, but this has been a great start for us already! Thank you!

[@bryantcestrada7126]

Jeff from Castro Valley, Cali, here. I can absolutely vouch for this training from Garret. He posted a video just like this a few years back and have tried it with my 4 year old American Bully at the time that was 105 lbs (RIP now). It legitimately took around 10 mins for him to walk by my side, loose leash, and no pulling. Fast fwd to now with our new 1 yr old American Bully, 50 lbs, and same thing. Loose leash, no stress. Balanced training with the prong WORKS!

[@carmenhatfield4357]

THANK YOU! I've trained dogs for over 30 years. I started out with this method and always had great success but over the years I've caved in to a softer approach because of all of the social pressure. I am retired, but currently training my own pulling puppy and taking so long to get desired results. I really needed this reminder to get back to basics. A softer approach while your dog damages their trachea on a flat collar may keep the Karen next door from bashing you throughout the neighborhood, but it is not doing the dog any favors.

[@troy5292]

Yeah, which is actually more kind? To get the training done in a few sessions and move on, or spend weeks or months trying to do this when you could have been done and enjoying walks with your dog? If something this simple takes weeks or month to train, the other methods are obviously just unclear commands to the dog. America has unfortunately flipped and now everybody thinks they have the right to chime in on how you live your life, and they are always right, and you must comply with what they say or you're a mean and cruel person. I'd just act deaf, ignore them, and keep walking along as if they don't exist. They nor their opinions are worth my time or mental effort. It takes two to argue, so silence leaves them nothing to debate, and they just look like an idiot yelling for nothing. If they want to call the cops, I'd encourage it. I'd ask them to make sure they ask for the Police K9 officer on duty to be the officer to respond but tell the Karen not to be surprised when they show up with their dog wearing a prong collar, e-collar, and flat collar and/or a choke chain. I've walked Echo on a prong collar for the past 18 months through streets, Lowe's, Home Depot, the vet's office, all over the place, and nobody has ever said a word to me. If they ever want to, I'd happily offer to have an educated and civil discussion on prong collars or e-collars. I'm sure anybody that wants to gripe about it has zero true knowledge on how to use these tools correctly anyway. Knowledge is power, and they won't have the power/knowledge to back up their trash talk.

Imperative for our big breeds to be trained and well behaved, much more so than other breeds. I've rehabbed rotties, corsos and boerbels that ended up on death row just because they had the wrong owners.

Thank you for providing this video. I am a volunteer with a German Shepherd rescue and am asked to walk and report on new dogs. There was a dog that I walked yesterday that could use a prong collar. I start out walking using a flat collar in order to observe whether a dog pulls or is lacking in leash manners.

[@emilianamestas5846]

I’m from Vegas and I have a 4 month old Doberman girl (highly food motivated) and after 10 mins she was already doing wayyyy better thank you!

[@norbertmihaji7080]

I will try this method soon but definitely without a prong collar because my husky was freaked out by any collar or any type of hook around his neck. It takes 2 weeks and several bites to get used to walking on the leash outside of our garden. Now we can walk any time and I can put him on leash any time without bite. And also he is waiting the walks. I adopted him on 2023 december 18, he was 1 year old. He was never on leash before I adopted him. And I don't want to screw up what I already achieved.

[@KelseyHubley]

You're not alone! You're doing great. We adopted our husky around the 1 year mark. He was free range outside and it has been tough. We have him used to the harness but still pulls a lot. I'm scared of the collar as he can pull his head out even if it's super tight

[@norbertmihaji7080]

@@KelseyHubley Thank you have a good luck. This happened with mine at first time outside he was freaked out by something and he got to go to the opposite direction and yes his head slipped out from the collar. It was set to the tightest. It was hard to catch. He is quick. We practice with retriever leash since a week. Unfortunately we could not practice the leash walk in the garden until now because he started to flee and he submissed himself and he didn't move if I put him on leash. After he stopped the fleeing I brought him out to the street by my hand and he started to walk slowly but he was scared. And the same happened when we arrived back home he didn't dare to go in the garden I had to bring him in and he started to flee again after we got in the garden. This is why I'm afraid of the prong collar. I don't want that he feel the collar and the leash and walk can hurt and it can be bad.

I have an almost 3 year old doodle and this worked within the first five minutes of walking him. It’s made walking him a much better experience. THANK YOU!!!

[@maciejbrozek4666]

Hi three! We have been struggling with our Swiss White Shepherd girl for three Yeats. We have spent several hundreds of dollars for positive behaviorists. Nothing. Your short video have really made a huge change within ONE 15-minute walk. Thank you so much for the tips! We do appreciate it! Greetings from Poland (Europe)!

[@shanebelt491]

We rescued a Blue Heeler mix, who had been physically beaten. Had food withheld etc. As a grown women, he would pull me so hard, that I physically couldn't hold her back! This video changed his life and mine!! Thank you ❤️

[@rebeccacole6910]

Working cocker spaniel 🐶 5 years old. Always had an issue with her pulling and being distracted on the lead. This technique worked a treat! From Leicestershire, UK 🇬🇧 ❤

[@BG-fv2ql]

I have an 8 month Pitbull Coonhound mix. I actually used this exact technique every day with leads and prongs since the day I took him home. He now gets joy zoomies when he hears his prong come out and he walks like a champ.

[@hairymcfish4407]

it worked with my 4 year old staffy pug mix and i cant thank you enough

[@Zeusbutterfly]

I used this same technique I learnt from your videos on my Rottador and it worked magnificently.

[@tyrelgranger8105]

I watched you do this in a older video, and since have used it on my german shepherds. It is night and day difference. Tried all sorts of fancy stuff before this none of it worked, this method is amazing

[@Nikki-yv4jk]

I have a 3 month old Malinois. We started out rough, he needed about 10-15 u-turns. At the end of the 20 minute walk it was like I had a different puppy. Thank you so much for your videos! They are amazing!

[@traceysmith311]

I watched this video 3 times and then went and tried this with my 6 month old German Shepherd and HOLY COW! The ONLY things we worked on during our walk were the sudden u-turn and the sudden stop pop and I can't believe the difference. We are currently enrolled in an intermediate puppy training class and she does great in class but using only the techniques they taught just wasn't working at home. I have been dreading our walks as getting dragged around gets old FAST. This made a huge difference. After about 5 u-turns she had it down to walk at my side...by no means a perfect heel but way better. Towards the end of the walk (just under a mile) she started to forget and it took just 2 uturns to remind her. Her sudden stop isn't perfect but it's way better than it was and this was only the first session so I know in a few more she'll be amazing. I don't have a prong collar, just a martingale and it worked great on that. I'll move to a prong if I need to but this girl is so eager to please I'm not sure I will need it. Thank you for making some simple and straightforward.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Countryboykeller]

Thanks for this and all your other videos. Family recently got a dog that I wasn't a big fan of but she is definitely growing on me.

[@user-ed5tf6kj1n]

Really liked how easy this training was to follow. Thank you, Garett.

[@user-xm1tm9oz1f]

This is now the 3rd video I’ve watched of yours for leash pulling today. After the second video I tried your techniques with my 3year old 90 lb American Bulldog/Pitbull mix and within 10 minutes I had her walking at my side and stopping when I stop with just 2 u turn corrections. I rescued her 5.5 months ago and she’s been a demon trying to walk. Wish I had found you and these tips sooner! Time to keep working more with her to perfect her healing. Thank you for these videos! 🙏🏻

[@bananaketchup9353]

Training my pittie for 6 days with your techniques, clearly seeing the difference thank you

[@vokuit]

I was really hopeful when I saw this video. We have a pitbull mix that is 5 years old and my family never had a dog. We have him, since our cousin surprised us with him. When we walked him he was constantly pulling so we were trying to look for solutions and people to train him but no one really knew what they where doing and of course the training was expensive so when I saw this training method, I was honestly very happy. So when I walked the dog, I put on the prong collar, and I started doing the methods and after a few minutes he was walking right next to me with no pulling and a loose leash, and was making eye contact, and when I stopped, he stopped. So overall this guy know what he’s doing. You just got yourself a new subscriber. ❤😂😊

[@chrischivious2]

Words can’t describe my appreciation for this trainer and his method. All I can say is it worked for us!

[@misscarmen491]

Thank you for these videos. I have a 7 mo standard poodle. She is very smart and can be stubborn. Walks are a nightmare so will be using the U-turn method to get her attention. Once older we will see if we need more of this method.

[@JoseHernandez-sl7qw]

Definitely was right about the prong collar, tried to do it on a normal collar and was very hard to walk, got a prong collar used the same techniques and was significantly easier, learned in a matter of minutes amazed on how much easier it’s been since

[@user-zl9qx9fx8w]

This technique truly works…my 60 pound GoldenDoodle was a horrible puller just like Sunny and quickly changed within 15 minutes of being introduced to the prong collar! Thank you so much for sharing your training techniques! They have helped immensely!

[@taylork322]

Works on my 1 year old mini schnauzer with 7 months of training under his belt and works on my 2 year old GSD/malanois mix with 2 years under his belt. Even though my dogs have training sometimes I have to remind them of this training to get them back on track. Thank you for posting this cause it reminds me what I need to do to give my dog direction

[@TheSummergirl25]

After more than a year of only positive training with almost zero result and a lot of frustration on both ends, I did exactly this.after only a couple of weeks we started walking nicely, we now still have the prong on but I don't really have to use it at all any more. Keep posting these videos 👋

[@yogawithdasia]

I tried this on our morning walk, and it works! Even without a prong collar. For reference, I have a 5 month old male giant schnauzer. Thank you! 🎉

[@britfit1900]

Can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much

[@1stfeather]

I just ised this method on my rescue 4 month old shepherd mix, & wow, what a difference already. In 10 mins total time, we have a pup that is much easier to walk with. Thank you!

[@chandeliervalley7373]

Absolutely phenomenal man. Definitely using you as a resource as we grow

[@KGS0428]

My 6 year old pit/catahoula mix has had me going crazy trying to get the pulling to stop. I’ve tried everything and came across this video. After 3 minutes of this he’s a completely different dog. Thank you so much for

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Heck yeah, that's awesome to hear! Nice job!

[@KezanHrafnask]

We have a Labrakita/German Shepherd(?). He's 22 months, about 24in and 100lbs, and this technique does work! I have not obtained nor utilised a prong collar yet, though he does have an e-collar we use for correction. I walk him sometimes w/o the e-collar, and that can be a substantial workout! Going to make sure and obtain the brand of prong collar suggested. He does walk far more chillaxed with his Grandma (who is 71) but with me he can be a double handful at times, lol. His drive is very high, and i take it seriously that it's my responsibility to correctly direct that drive. I also enjoy being able to give him his treats when he behaves well. The demonstrated methodology and shared knowledge is appreciated greatly. Happy Holidays!

[@zephyrbiscuit4547]

Dude, thank you so much. I had one session with my half lab / border collie mix and had almost identical results to the video. Planning to give her a few more sessions before back to the regular collar but this was awesome!

[@oldNdirty]

my dog is a 5 year old cane corso and he pulls on walks with my mom or dad but we fixed it like you did in this video. just did it on his normal collar. cc are respectfull to they family members so it was easier with our one. dont want to tell all are easy to handle for everybody. once a corso everytime a corso.

[@kimberthegsd_615]

I also trained my dog on a flat collar. 106lb Eastern Working Line DDR all black German Shepherd. Only took a few corrections now she walks perfect. She is very smart catches on to things very quickly. As a pup she only peed in the house 1 time before she knew it was bad and never did it again. Never pooped in the house.

[@troy5292]

Thank you DIYK9.com for helping me train my dog. I did this with my Husky/Treeing Walker Coonhound mix at 4 months. ONE corrective U-Turn was all I needed, and it was a messy one at that because it was my first ever. Everything else was cleaned up with sudden stop pops and food rewards. We do figure 8's, speed up, slow down, left and right turns, and she still walks well at 21 months old. I practiced in the backyard a couple days and hit the road. I had to do one more corrective U-Turn as the level of distraction jumped up significantly, and now we can walk up on rabbits (one of her triggers) and I can put feather light leash pressure to ask for a sit (from the Leashed course training), and we just stand there until the rabbit takes off. Echo stays in the sit.

[@Jules-740]

I don't have a dog YET. But I really want one in the near future so I am trying to learn as much as I can about training. One thing I was surprised about in this video is how you said we don't need to say "heel" when we teach them as many other videos do. I like this aproach you have.👍

[@dalila8676]

I have a 6 month year old cane corso and I am from Cali. I have been doing this method for the last couples walks and she is already 10x better then what we started from our first walk(she didn’t even know how to walk out the front door when we got her) love your videos!

[@baileycameron5173]

Came from the similar video done on a husky for my 10 month old golden retriever named Sunny !! Worked in a 10 minute session, after months of attempted positive only training consistently!

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Nice!

[@samanthahopkins1874]

Thank you for sharing these videos!

[@MPMLLC178]

Very professional, and simple to follow dog training for anyone looking for advice.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you!

[@idonteven18]

I have a 5 year old border Collie and a 4 1/2 year old Australian shepherd. They both would pull, with the prong collar my border wouldn't, my Aussie gave 0 f's and pulled anyway. After not even leaving my house or walking back inside depending on how they were behaving they have learned to not only pay attention to me but their leash reactivity has stopped, if i drop the leash immediately they stop next to me and wait for me to pick it up or wait for me to start walking. It just takes time, effort, consistency and patience. Keep training guys 👍

[@CmbRoy]

Pit 7 years her name is Coco. This is the only, MOST IMPORTANT thing she is not trained on. U have given me full confidence to try it, then I'll try on my 2 puppies if I'm successful. I'll be back for update!!!! Keep up love your videos....

[@SueDamron]

New subscriber here!! Thank you!!! You’re brilliant! This makes so much sense! The dog realizes they caused the problem and learns from it!!!

[@user-kd6uw5gj7r]

After a stressful walk with my 90lb 1 year old german shephard/lab mix... I ran to this video! Now I'm running to the store to grab a collar and we will be training this asap! I will report back with results lol
