How To STOP LEASH Pulling From Start to Finish!

[@Michelle-he1hg]

Thank you for being honest and showing it doesn’t happen overnight. It definitely is a process that can easily take up to or over a year. I wasn’t consistent with my pit (and regretfully used the prong collar for a year). Once I committed to teaching her how to leash walk, it was like night and day but it took A LOT of time and patience. I wished I had tired her out more often before her lessons! Totally recommend it. It’s been about over a year in training and she’s doing much much better.

I can totally relate with my pit/ lab mix! Seeing that it’s working with you gives me hope that we don’t need the prong collar

Thank god you mentioned to keep the potty walk separate from the casual walk and training walk. I was actually mixing the two. Now I am confident and able to understand whys…. Thank you.

[@gryffinkat]

I have been dog-sitting this past week for a 6mo Golden Retriever who struggles with loose-leash walking. I can't even count how many videos I have watched this week about teaching your dog to stop pulling on the leash, and this is by far the most helpful I have seen! I appreciate Zak's comments about different kinds of walks (socialization, training, exercise, etc.) and being more tolerant of pulling during some of those walks than during others. I also really appreciate the idea of working on loose-leash walking very slowly and close to home (including inside the home at first). That lines up exactly with what I am seeing from this Golden--she does all right when we are in the back yard or close to home, but the farther away we get, the more she wants to pull to go sniff and explore the new things out there. Thanks, Zak, for reminding me about the need for LOADS of patience, along with understanding about what we are actually asking our dogs to do.

[@brooklyngolden9464]

When I first got my big guy this was a HORRID problem. Though I didn't teach him to stop pulling on a leash. When I set boundaries, guidelines and expectations and fixed our relationship, he just stopped on his own. LOOOOOOTS of love went into this, too. Also one of the things you never seem to mention is that dogs will tend to progress until around a year old, then will typically regress a little. This is a normal thing and many people find it discouraging to the point of quitting or feeling like a failure. This is normal behavior and should be expected. This is also why service dogs don't start full service work until around 18-24 months if they begin training at 8-9 weeks old as puppies. Slow is fast sometimes. Expect the regression when they hit their phase and keep on working through it.

[@katdelacruz910]

This is the first training video that I actually sat through without loosing interest. I have a 10 week old puppy and she’s a puller. You gave me genuinely helpful information! I’ll be trying your tips out ASAP! Thank you 😀

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Awesome video! My Molly is a 5 month old Old English Sheepdog at my farm and I started my channel back in July chronicling the transformation of our farm stay startup. Molly shows up as an 8 week old pup in episode 6 and we’ve been watching her train and grow since then. I’ve started leash training a while back and she’s doing very well... she still pulls a bit though, still working on that. Molly is not longer chasing the chickens, but she still wants to chase our ducks. I’ve been training Molly with a lot of what I’ve learned from your channel and will keep doing so.

[@shammerHammer]

Man, thank you for that. We currently have a 6 month old foster dog here. Things are going smoothely, but sometimes, she just wants to go home and pulls like crazy. I watch a lot of your content but hadn't watched this one, but I did things very similar to that. I was just frustrated that it didn't seem to help. But now I know that I'm on the right track and that my understanding of training is overall pretty accurate. I'm motivated again!

[@JenniferJones15]

My 13 week old puppy is already improving on his leash thanks to you. Your methods work so well.

[@melissah3772]

I just love the realistic training approach Zak has. A lot of people will say that a slip collar will magically work because your dog doesn't want to choke themselves, but I see no difference in behavior when I use one, and my dog may hurt herself if she is being reactive to a barking dog or something. I don't feel comfortable physically pulling her away from a distraction with a slip collar on, so we end up not going anywhere when she is distracted. I tried a harness (and I honestly felt guilty for using a harness because of all the training advice out there that says it will encourage pulling) and I actually found that my dog was MORE responsive to direction with the harness, probably because I was able to pull her to change direction more easily without feeling like I was hurting her. Zak's channel is the first one I've found that truly prioritizes our love and respect for our pets. I want to communicate with her and keep her safe above all else.

[@MultiGoodriddance]

I would say exercising or playing with your dog prior to leash training is the ultimate key without it is futile. It frustrating at first to tire your dog out just to train the dog on the leash but it's essential

Hello Zak, I truly enjoy watching your training videos. My husband and I have had dogs over the years of our life together. Our last dog, a precious member of our family for just over 13 years, had to be put down at age 14, in 2019. We have always adopted shelter dogs. This past February 2020, we were ready to bring a new dog into our home. We adopted an 8 week old female puppy from a local shelter and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. In August, she developed a nasty skin infection. After visiting the Vet, we were given a prescription spay ointment which I have applied to her skin as necessary. The infection subsided, and just rice in November, I was given the ok by our Vet to put her on adult dog food. We give her 1 cup (or just under 1 cup) of Science Diet sensitive tummy & skin dry food. She does love it, and seems to be doing well, but I still need to apply an anti inflammatory cream to the affect areas of her skin. Should I also be giving her a Supplimental to improve or calm her skin flair ups?

[@endler]

Zac, you are my go to when i need dog tips. I found out about you around 7-9 y ago when I had my 1st border collie, and was looking for frisbee tips. I’ve had dogs since I was born, and always loved training them. I’ve learned alot from your videos and always give you “copy rights” when people ask me how I trained my dogs so well. The only thing I miss from you, is that when you started you did not have all these sponsors and focused a lot more on training dogs without treats (I know it's not possible with all dogs, but you used to give more options for either toys or treats). Everywhere I look nowadays people are focusing on training with treats and I think mostly its because of DIY videos (seriously, it's like petsmart store training completely driving the dog on treats) . Every single time when people ask me for tips, I recommend your videos, but I ALWAYS tell them to search up your oldest videos before you had all these sponsors, because they were ROOTS and worked. Don't get me wrong, all your videos are amazing and helpful, but I liked it more when it was just your without sponsors. Would like to see more videos with treats as a 2nd option only when really necessary. Cheers and keep the videos coming!

[@Cevalip]

Thanks for the comment - I am working towards financial stability so I can adopt a dog. I do however fear the dog becoming obese due to treats, but it never seems to get addressed in training videos🤔

We have a kelpie who is super obedient when off the leash. Even if we run into other dogs. He may check the other dog out, but then follows like it's nothing. On leash it's much different, cause he doesn't get to check out the dog and gets frustrated. And sometimes he just gets a bad vibe and starts growling. That has been happening less recently though, partly thanks to your videos. Keep it up!

Pet owners have an idea in their heads as to how they would like their pet to behave. The truth is that no one sets out to have a dog with behavioral problems. Yet sometimes, we must cope with the fact that our dogs exhibit troublesome qualities. These include behaviors such as incessant barking, chewing on your possessions and furniture, separation anxiety, and much more.Of course, we want to address the root of the problem rather than simply addressing the manifestation. This is where it’s important to seek professional help from a certified dog training program. visit here t.co/nnY411Q7yg

My experience with prong collar was great. Used properly, these are only tools to communicate and are not cruel - I put the prong collar around my own neck and tugged, too. Does not hurt. Nothing is black and white and no two dogs are similar. GSD 8months old He would pull, yank, spring all over, and knock ppl over, hurt my shoulder. Got a prong collar. Never "popped" him, just would freeze and hold when he'd start pulling. After 2 days he figured it out and walks perfectly wearing prong collar. No issues. TWO DAYS. Already weaning him off of prong collar after 3weeks. Still not perfect but so much better wearing only a harness now. Can update again in a couple more weeks if people still thinking prong collars are bad or dont work.

ill check him out. Zak is a great trainer, no doubt. I've used some of his techniques with positive results. Very good. The downside to Zak is that I haven't seen him train large-breed dogs with previous issues where months of training to see any results is not an option.

[@allison3054]

@@runningrock124 The problem with Zak is it took him a year to teach a dog to walk properly on a leash, where other trainers take 15 minutes. Zak excuses a lot of bad behaviors by stressing to be "tolerant" and that's not training, that's allowing a dog to misbehave, and get in a mode where it will continue to misbehave. There are better R+ trainers out there.

[@BeccaTheBoring]

I’ve been working with my rescued 11 year old collie mix for 2 years, and she’s definitely much better than she was. I don’t feel like I’m walking the Tasmanian Devil any more. But she still pulls, so walkie time is still a challenge.

[@bruh5547]

I think its very interesting learning about Zak’s training methods. I consider myself a balanced trainer (I dont post about it because Im still learning about training, and have been working with trainers for the past few months.) I would just like to talk about using adversive tools for a second. So Zak mentions that using corrective collars might work, but when you don’t do it the dog may not listen. I would counter this by saying the same goes for treats. A lot of people rely too heavily on treats, and if they arent paying the dog every time they give a command, I’ve seen dogs immediately lose motivation and stop giving a behavior. This happens a lot when weening off of treats. Another thing is having to say a command several times before the dog listens, or them not caring enough to do the command. That is where adversive tools like prong collars and ecollars come in. Let’s say you tell your dog to sit, and they arent sitting, you would give a correction. (Thats saying youve done plenty of training beforehand and know the dog knows the command sit, and they are just being stubborn.) The point is for the dog to want to avoid the negative consequence, and makes it a win-win if they cooperate. (Dog completes command = No correction, and reward, whether that be a treat or just your encouragement) Zak also mentions that using a corrective collar while neutralizing a reactive dog towards other dogs could make it a negative experience, and personally, I’ve never seen that happen. The point is to correct the dog for giving an undesirable behavior, which you train before going out and socializing with other dogs. That way, when correcting, the dog understands what they are being corrected for. Once the dog is more neutral, then a lot more praise and positive reinforcement is brought in. And this isn’t saying that me, or any balanced trainer are all animal abusers that rely on punishment, and dominating or being the “alpha”. No. Alpha mentality in dogs doesn’t exist. Leadership does though, and showing to dogs what is right and wrong is very important so that mutual respect exists. That’s why I use operate conditioning and teach leash pressure with the dogs I train. The reason I’m commenting is just to try and give some perspective. a lot of people look down on balanced training, when it can be a life changer for dogs. I’ve seen dogs be suggested to be put down for their behavior issues, and that they are untrainable, and the trainers giving this advice are force free trainers. I’ve seen force free trainers insult and talk terrible about adversive tools, and in the same breath claim reactive/aggressive dogs are “untrainable” because they aren’t responding to their positive reinforcement. Now in no way am I going to be the person to talk terrible about positive reinforcement trainers, and that they are all terrible and can’t train dogs. I think Zak seems like a great guy and is very respectful and a good trainer. But not all dogs will respond with just positive reinforcement, I’ve tried. When I first got into training, I only did r+ training, and took my german shepherd to postive only training classes when he was a puppy. As he got older though, and graduated his training classes, his reactivity started getting worse. Walking became near impossible, he would explode if he saw another dog, and we couldn’t walk with any of our other dogs because he would jump on you, start freaking out, and bark/cry if our other dogs got in front of him. And this at the time was a 60lb german shepherd that could drag you down the street. Not fun. And I was very dedicated. We put him on a harness, and did training every day. I will tell you a harness is what made his pulling issues all the worse. His harness made his walking skills all the worse, and made walking/taking him out so much less enjoyable. But we began using a prong collar on him, and he is now a near offleash trained dog because of it. (I’ll also put in that if you do think of using any kind of corrective tool on a dog, please do your research! Prong collars can really hurt a dog if they are not fitted correctly. Also I will NEVER suggest putting a shock collar on your dog. That can really hurt your dog and burn their skin. Instead find a quality ecollar, which is a remote collar that instead of shocking the dog, give a little stim on their neck, that so long is at the correct setting, are really great tools! Just do your research) But all in all, no matter what tool you use, whether that be a corrective collar, or a harness, training is all about what is most beneficial for YOUR dog and finding what training works best for them. Keep doing what you are doing, Zak!

I totally agree about not using the aversives because they normally cause more issues. But they're also just unkind. Dogs find it annoying, painful, and even scary. You don't want your dog to associate those feelings with you, training, and triggers. They're also risky healthy wise. Trauma to the throat, neck, and spine is not uncommon with dogs that wear these collars.

[@lifesajoke6965]

Thank you, very helpful. This is way different than the way I was taught when I did an internship at the humane society back in high school. It was always done with a choke collar thing and we used dogs at the shelter that spent most of their day in a kennel and we walked them on a path that basically went right through farm full of farm animals on both sides. Anytime they pulled (which was always because of all the animals and just their pure joy of being out of their cage) we were told to tug the leash and that was basically it.

[@Sandra-pq2sb]

Year ago I started following all your advice because I got a reactive Rottweiler at 1 year old. We trained positively for 6 months and his behaviour got to the point where we weren’t able to go outside. Then I found trainers like Larry Krohn, Upstate Academy, Southend dog training and few more, now he is able to be off lead, reactivity towards people, traffic is completely gone. We are able to get past dogs with 1m distance and my dog is finally happy. If someone is struggling please just find more information, all quadrants of upper conditioning are essential, some dogs just can’t be helped with purely positive approach. Purely positive approach is a reason why so many dogs end up in shelters and are being killed because no one wants to help them by opening their minds.

[@someones_daughter_]

This is so true, the story with my dog is similar, except mine was with anxiety. Positive reainforcement just confused the hell out of my dog, and there weren't enough real life applications.. I wasn't able to intervene anytime she freaked out, froze, or tried to run away out of fear. Problem is that if you don't react to your dog misbehaving (could be anything between eating poop to biting an animal or person), you don't attach a consequence to their reaction. Granted, combatting agression with more agression is a slippery slope for a catastrophy. But you must remain calm to enforce the right NO to your dog. Making them understand that some things are appropriate and other things aren't is the only thing that will work. The world isn't just happy and nice, you can just as well turn a negative situation into a lesson as a positive experience.

[@thebiblemessenger]

What is wrong with balanced dog training and negative dog training? 1. Those methods WASTE MONEY. If you are a dog trainer trying to save money, why would you waste money on buying choke chains, shock collars (e-collars), and prong collars? 2. Those methods PUNISH DOGS. Dogs are smart animals. Why should we use something so negative such as punishment with "bonkers" (according to Jeff Gellman, the guy who pretends to be a dog trainer but actually is an animal abuser,)? As Victoria Stillwell once said about shock collars, "This is what I want to do with EVERY SHOCK COLLAR in a home." (Uses a hammer to break them) 3. Balanced dog training STILL PUNISHES DOGS, but punishes when a dog does something wrong. They still use choke chains, e collars, and prong collars. POSITIVE VS BALANCED VS NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT 1. Positive training is based on YES. If a dog lies down, they get a treat. If they get up, the trainer redirects them into a lie-down, and then they get a treat. 2. Balanced dog training is in the middle. If a dog lies down, they get a treat. If they get up, they get a painful shock collar. 3. Negative training is based on NO. To train a dog to lie down, trainers step on the leash or push their back down. When they succumb to the pressure and lie down they don't get anything. But if they get up, they get a rough pop with a prong collar, choke chain, or electric collar.

I cant believe that ive been following inertia for a yr now 😊

[@susanwangcfa3685]

Who knew Zak has such a collection of funky sneakers???

[@pianistansley3446]

I have a 4 month old Yorkie puppy, ( she’s almost 17 weeks old, I got her at 11 weeks old). She is very sweet, good natured and is doing great with the following commands; sit, lay down, stand, stay, come, wait, spin, and roll over. She will follow these commands when I have a treat ready, some of the newer ones with a lure, not perfect, but she is doing nice. Now to the point, she has been walking pretty well on a leash, but about a week ago, she stopped walking. She does good on a leash in the grass, but when we are on the sidewalk actually “walking” she just wont walking, she just sits or lays down. Any suggestions?

[@lyndseyleavitt5220]

Is the cement too hot for her?

[@azcardinalds2360]

My dog a yorkie / poodle will walk and is wild but if you let go of the leash he does not move a step idk why 😂

[@brigittewatto]

Love all these videos, especially since I have a 15 week old border collie

[@Laflamablanca969]

[@jacey1718]

[@amyperaza3513]

My dog pulls a lot so this is very helpful thank you 🙏

[@Mria_fer]

[@lindseycameron1976]

Another absolutely great video! Thank you!!

[@ramsaybaird2828]

The fact his Border Collie is named Inertia is absolutely fantastic and hilarious

[@danaandthedogs]

Thank you for addressing the pinch collar issue. I will NEVER put one on my dogs. It's a cop-out for training and they are cruel. This video was SO helpful. I'll start using these tools with my 2 2-year old Huskies - they definitely respond to treats!

[@aubreykeim7626]

Trying to train my 2 year old shepherd mix how to walk nicely on a leash and to keep attention. Was feeling very discouraged until I saw this video!

[@hahahaha-jd8bn]

literally just training my dog before walks makes him so much better behaved,ignored dogs completely off lead instead of lunging on lead

[@Gary21H]

My puppy, Angus, does really well on his morning walk, but is a disaster on his evening walk 🤣 He's doing really well with the foundations, and now time for some leash & walking training! Thanks for the video.

[@TheLiquid765]

Dude his shoe game is strong!

[@ralfthelabradorpuppy5940]

Thank you helped me and I found out a lot I hope you to reader

[@kimkane135]

Circles do work great for my German Shepard I just rescued…I agree with all your training tips u really see results if you stay consistent

[@jammer5g6lyaj72]

My mini aussie pays attention pretty good outside, he's lived outside pretty much the entire time since he was with the breeder until 9 weeks when I got him.

[@jayatimukhopadhyay2172]

Hey Zack, your videos have taught me a lot and I love them and quite follow them. Will it be possible for you to make a video on Interia's grooming ritual and routine and bath times? My puppy is very calm most of the time but when it comes to bath time she freaks out so much and it becomes very difficult. I would very much appreciate if you could show us how you go about your routine.

[@julierocketqueen6257]

Zak’s so goofy & it’s so fun to warch! I don’t even have a dog 🤣
