I was test driving two service dog matches and both dogs bolted (a horn honk and a bird) one dog broke 3 fingers on my right hand and one dog broke 2 fingers on my left hand. having had the same service dog for 11 years, and these dogs were trained, i was not prepared for this bolting behavior. in 2 weeks i’ll be matched with what i hope will be my new service dog. to say i’m nervous is an understatement. this dogs trainer has had a live link for the past 3 MONTHS on this dog, so i’ve been part of the action for a while. this has helped me see how this dog reacts to situations and i feel somewhat bonded to him. i’ll watch the rest of your videos because this last year without a service dog has been pure he$$!! i need to get my confidence back after the 2 wash outs.

Holding the leash from the pinky side has made a big difference. My strong pit mix puppy and I are still learning to walk together well, and she still has times when she will get over-threshold excited when seeing other dogs. Your leash techniques combined with a biothane leash gives me the control and confidence I need to focus more on actual training. Holding from the pinky side reminds me of horseback riding English style. That’s how we would hold the reigns.

I'm happy to find that I actually am doing this mostly correctly. I just have skipped the looping part so far . I think tiny bits of horse training knowledge have firmly planted in my head not to loop over any body part that you want to keep.😂 Thankfully, I think most of our dogs aren't as strong as a horse. I have had some nasty cases of rope burn lately just from my pup, though. Pitties can be strong. Even pittie mixes. My 9 month American Bully mix is already far stronger than my Boxer was in her prime. Yesterday my pittie mix, Bella, jerked her leash so hard that it just flew from my hand. And she spent the next few hours running around like a crazy dog, scraping up her feet in the process. Poor girl. I was going to take her on a pet store tomorrow.

I have two whippets and what I've found that works for us is near hand anchor with both leash handles looped over the back of the wrist with the leads running between the thumb and index fingers. It's robust and solid and I can bring the full cross section of my wrist/arm to bear if I need to. Sight hounds can be triggered by sudden movement of small critters - I've never come close to losing a lead yet.

All that said, I've been experimenting with adding the loop around the index finger. it's a bit chunky with two leads, but with the leash handles looped over the back of the wrist and the leads looped around the index finger supported by a closed fist, a very rock solid way to hold the leads.

I don't have a dog. I am horse trainer but really love learning about teaching other animals. I didn't know there was a technique to holding a dog leash! Handling is extremely important with horses, never any loops or wraps, and absolutely no fingerlocks, because if the horse spooks you are too small to hold them back anyway, and to avoid getting dragged you must be able to let go. The one thing that's the same is the pinky side to the horse! That is also something I constantly repeat XD From my experience with horses I know there is a ton of knowledge and skill involved in training. I have a fabulous source of correct info here for when I finally get my first dog!

Hey, your videos have been very helpful with teaching my pit bull puppy. He is almost 7 months old and weighs just over 20kg. He is super good with loose leach walking and has the sit and stay commands down like a pro, but refuses to down though. He also does protection training (bite-work), as a single mom in South Africa it is kinda compulsory. He is so good at walking that my 11y old boy can handle him. I use your holding method when walking him on the flat leash unfortunately he needs a stronger leash for the bite work as he broke 2 fairly expensive strong flat leads. I use a horse lead, it is a strong, round big lead with a beefy buckle and seems to work well without hurting my hands when he pulls. I love your videos and they are super helpful with my pitty and my son's jack russel (the jack russel is more work that the pit bull by the way).

I was holding my dog's leash with the wrapping around my hand and wrist when he decided to leap off the porch (8 steps up from the sidewalk) and go say hi to someone walking down the street. Buddy was a 110 pound Golden Retriever and St. Bernard mix. My dislocated elbow, ER visit and 10 weeks of occupational therapy convinced me that wrapping a leash around your hand gives a FALSE sense of control and safety. When you are sitting on the ground in pain (or worse), your dog is not in your control and you can't do anything about it. The Leash Lock is much much safer.

Question: How old should your pup be before taking leash walking seriously. My Tervuren pup is currently 4 months old, and I feel like I'm being too hard on him, but at the same time I don't want him to develop bad behaviors like pulling.
@SimpawticoDogTraining6 жыл бұрын
Usually at that age we recommend 200-400 feet at a time, only going further if the puppy volunteers to do so, or stopping if they're reluctant. That said, you can practice your formal walking technique, but do it in a neutral environment. Training it outside is like teaching a kid to play basketball at the playoffs. Way too much happening. Isolate and teach motor skills, build muscle memory, and slowly move it into the outside world. In the meantime, use different hardware outside that they can pull into and let your puppy noodle around as this is good mental enrichment. Eventually your walking will crossover from your practice and be mannerly all the time. Check out our progressions video for a peek at what that looks like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWSylX-KraqEeKc

Hi Hana. My advice: get rid of it and teach your dog not to bite the leash. I know this sounds smart-assed, but I promise I'm dead serious. Tons of dogs at the shelter bite their leash and I've taught the staff how to fix it in a day or two. Chain leashes just don't offer any flexibility or sensitivity. You're just avoiding the problem with it. Drill down, and fix it. It's tedious work and will probably take a week or so if your dog is persistent, but when it's done you can use whatever nice leash you prefer. HOW to do it is beyond the scope of the comment section so email off-list if you'd like guidance on this.

This doesn't work if the leash you're using isn't a flat nylon web leash. I use a round climbing rope style leash that has some elasticity and a no-pull harness with the leash fed through a carabiner attached to the back clip on the harness and attached to the front loop. For my grip, I feed the back end of the leash through the handle and use that as a cinch on my wrist and hold the rope in the same hand with the rope fed through thumb side, not pinky side. That way the leash is controlled by the dominant muscles in my hand middle finger through thumb, not the weak side ring and pinky. I can completely let go of the leash if I need to and the leash is still attached to my arm, and one hand is completely free.
@SimpawticoDogTraining6 жыл бұрын
I originally shot this with a rope style leash. It most definitely does work and has for years with hundreds of leashes and ropes of all materials from nylon to leather to hemp. You're missing the point, though. It's not the fingers doing the work, it's the wrist, elbow and shoulder groups. If you have the rope/leash exiting on the thumb side you're locking up the wrist and you lose dexterity and ergonomic strength. Your muscle groups don't work as efficiently. Plus, if you're using a cinch, there's no dynamic length control, it crushes, and there's no emergency bail out. I would never recommend anyone do it that way, I'm sorry.
@kelpontheway71756 жыл бұрын
Simpawtico Dog Training I don't think you read my post correctly. I'm not anchoring the leash on the opposite side to which the dog is walking and holding the middle of the leash with my opposite hand. I'm anchoring the leash to my forearm on the side that the dog is walking, setting the length of the lead with the same hand and controlling the communication through the lead with my dominant arm muscles. It doesn't lock up anything. Specifically, through the extensor digitorum communis, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brachio-radialis that send the tension through the triceps brachii, deltoid, infraspinatus and trapezius that gives me the most range of motion and the strongest muscle chain on which tension transmits and continues through my core, glutes, and down through my legs in a linear direction that minimizes my dog's ability to pull me off my feet or knock me off balance. Your method sends tension through the extensor carpi ulnaris, anconaeus, biceps brachii and pectoralis minor, requiring much less tension for your dog to pull free or cause an injury to your hand and sends the tension laterally across your shoulders and spine, maximizing your dog's ability to pull you off balance with enough force in any direction. If my dog pulls hard enough to take the lead from my grip, then the cinch on my forearm tightens, not before. If I used your method and my dog (a husky/pyrenees mastiff mix) pulled hard enough to pull the lead from my grip I would end up with a dislocated finger or thumb and probably a face full of concrete instead of the pressure being dispersed equally around my forearm. Worst case scenario I get a bruise or minor rope burn around my forearm and retain control of my dog and whatever situation is causing my dog to veer off course .
