HOW TO STOP LEASH PULLING INSTANTLY!

[@sashacoyle2846]

I can only say I am in shock. We have a 5 year old Lab/pit/hound mix that lived free on about 2 acres of land for her entire life until 4 months ago. We sold our house in this crazy market time and now have 2 kids and a dog staying in extended stay waiting for a home. She had never been on a leash in her life. We started with a loving animal that turned into a nightmare. She barked at everything and everyone. If a dog was within 100 feet she went crazy. I am strong but this dog was crazy. I was buying all kinds of halters and trying to walk and teach her. I was doing everything but nothing was working. Today I watched this video. You said you guaranteed this so I watched it. The advice was free. Your dog examples were not anything like mine. Your dogs were good dogs. Our dog is named "Dolly". She used to be a Dolly. The last four months she was the "Dolly from Hell". We all love her. But we seriously afraid of what she could do to someone or someone's dog. So within 30 minutes of watching your video I went out and got the new Herm Collar. I was alone. My wife and kids were gone. I came back and said to the "Dolly from Hell"; You are going for a new kind of a walk. I put it on and tried it in the room. Ok, she was usually ready to break the door down to go out. This time she seemed a bit less aggressive but not really a test. We walked to the stairway. We had to go down 3 flights of stairs that usually she pulled me down it. Today she started that and quickly realized that was not going to feel good. I went slow and did all the verbal kind words and stopped to give her treats. Then the exit door. Wow. No run and hit the door. We went outside where people would be and she started instantly obeying me. We walked for over 45 minutes and NEVER, NEVER a single problem. Coming to me when I called her. Sitting to get a treat. Walking when I said lets go. Stopping when I said stop. Sir, THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE HONESTLY HAVE A NEW DOG. Before I was doing everything wrong. She is a great dog. Thank you again, Sasha Coyle.

@@lance8774 I could see it. I have an elderly dog that used to pull like a truck to the point where she damaged her Treachea. I put her on a prong (herm has a Treachea guard and the martingale action further protects her) and she hasn't pulled since the first 5 minutes. Same process I tried on a flat previously. We've now fully moved to a harness to further protect her Treachea, but she still does not pull because of the foundation with the prong collar.

But remember for future reference, it’s the OWNER who trains the dog, NOT the TOOL. I got my dog a prong, just to clean up what he learned before, than after a little, I didn’t need it for either. I actually as of today, have no clue where it is in the house lmao.

​@annievan-maassen2751 it is NOT CRUEL when used correctly. The purpose is to signal the dog through pressure to focus on you. E collars and prong collars are very useful and are not cruel to manage a dog that ignores the handler. These tools refocus the dog to listen and pay attention. The idea that these tools are cruel comes from people that may have a degree in animal behavior but not a clue on how to manage and train a dog. They don't understand the theory or the use. I have trained police K9 MWD in the real world clicker training and positive only trainers would and have told clients to put a down or rehome it because their training DIDNT solve the problem.

[@trumplostlol3007]

@@helenpierce-lamoureux3124 There are only two ways to train a fear aggressive hypersensitive dog that has never been leash trained. 1. Use a regular collar and yank the dog when she starts pulling, barking, and even running towards a fast moving object, say a motorcycle. The dog will sooner or later learn this and will pay attention to the leash, not the moving motorcycle or even the noise. 2. Use a prong collar and do the same thing. BTW, the regular collar is much more painful than the prong collar cause your dog will be choked by the regular collar while the prong collar will give your dog a sharp but not long-lasting or damaging pain. The goal is not to punish the dog, but to make your dog pay attention to the leash, instead of other distractions, like noise, moving objects, other barking dogs, .... Leash training aims not only at leash walking. It is also part of the obedience training. Dogs were bred by humans to obey strict orders to work specific tasks. If your dog doesn't respect you as the boss, there is no way you can control your dog under some crazy situations. Most working dogs are put into cages almost the entire day, except when they are let out to work. If you are thinking about being humane, don't get a dog. Get a cat instead. Cats don't need to be trained and will not be destructive or harmful to your family, the human society or themselves. I am not using the prong collar any more. But a regular collar is not much better. The only reason I don't use the prong collar is that it may raise the level of fear aggression of my dog. When my dog feels being controlled by the prong collar, her fear level will increase.

Michael, that’s a great question! I have no idea why people would be taught to walk a dog on the right. Your scenario makes sense but I only know the way I was taught. In police work we always.

I have an amstaff that weighs 34kg lean muscle, 16months old. And I baby him heaps, you don't need those prong collars. I start walking him from 16 weeks always on a harness and he walks just fine. If you have to use a prong collar, it means you have been lazy as f#$k. People shouldn't have a pet if you can't get of your ring and walk it.

[@allison3054]

@Adam Lear Yikes, you have an obvious misunderstanding of canines and behavior if you think every single dog can walk nice on a harness without a communication tool like a prong. Fear mongering works, and you're an obvious example of that. I've met people who struggled to train their dogs with multiple R+ trainers for YEARS before deciding to use a prong because nothing else worked. They were recommended to euthanize their dog. Are they lazy? Try understanding the tool before assuming that it is some scary spiked torture tool because someone told you to. Most of the people that say prongs are bad make money off that false spread of information. Science based trainers, the creators of tools like front clip harnesses and 'gentle leaders' that work very much in the same way prongs do (pressure-release system), but, hey, they look much less scary. It's all marketing, and everyone in the dog training industry is trying to sell this point of view that plays with your emotions. That's why prongs, which are actually a really safe tool, are put in the spotlight while tools like haltis and gentleleaders are sold as 'force free' even though they use the same concept.

Stumbled across this video and now I'm hooked. Wasn't a fan of choke collars and realized using them isn't abusive. You also took the time to really demonstrate how to work with your dog.

[@myfavoritedogdad]

The prong collars aren't to sharp and when he explains which part clip the leash to on the chain that's because it's a "martingale " type collar which means yes it can get tighter but only tight enough to add that pressure or prevent them from slipping the collar not like typical chain choke collars that can continuously tighten and actually choke a dog out . This video is full of phenomenal information that is true and factual 👏👌

[@lavishlyvice]

They _are_ abusive and unnecessary. Millions of dog owners living in countries where prong collars are rightfully illegal can still train their dogs without any of those tools, and without harsh pulling and popping on a dog's neck. It's just easier and works faster for people who are too lazy to invest more time in training and communicating.

[@debbiesmith2207]

So well explained. Some dogs can learn loose leash walking even on a harness. Pulling is bad, loose leash is good! I don't want to put a collar of any kind on my 11 week old puppy in case an accident puts him off collars. Already he is loose leash walking and learning leave it quite well on a harness . He is a very smart and agreeable puppy. I did use a prong on a 5 year old incorrigible rescue and it worked a charm used properly. Timing is everything! Every dog is different.

[@dorcasia109]

It’s much easier to teach this to puppies. My lab/terrier is near perfect on a leash.

[@lstevens1512]

Great job explaining this. The same method a K9 officer showed me with my GSD (German Sheperd Dog). I used it on my Rottie and my neighbor's pit bull. It worked every time. He taught me to use a fence pole on proper snapping using a slip collar as you showed in the beginning. Constantly changing directions as the dog starts to walk away is important to keep the dog's attention on you. K9 officer said the same thing you said on snapping as the dog gets to the end of the leash. Dogs learn to read the handler thru the leash. Dog doesn't understand verbal language the same as humans. They read emotions and sounds. They pick up on words but not sentences or compound words. You can say "good boy" positively and he/she will respond a certain way as a reward. Then you can say "good boy" in a rude manner and the dog will respond differently. Same words used but emotionally different. That's why people shouldn't use compound words like sit-down. Dogs can get confused if they should sit, lay down or stand on all 4 paws if they jump up on someone or the furniture. You probably cover some of this in other videos. This is the first one of yours I've seen. If anyone is still having issues after seeing this, I would highly recommend them to spend a few dollars and go seek out a certified trainer who uses this method even if it is you they contact for help because it is not the dog who needs training, it is the handler/owner who needs training on how to communicate with there pet. The cost is just pocket change compared to the damage a dog can do rather if it is material things or legal fees. Some counties will take your dog away and have them put down.

Really similar to how I was taught at a community center dog obedience class 35 years ago with my headstrong Golden Retriever male, sans treats and before anyone knew about prong collars. After a week or so, he was on my left knee always, with or without a leash. Same with a large Aussie male who was even more headstrong. Basically you're teaching the dog to remain focused on you, no matter the distractions. So simple to get thru to the dog, it makes me sad watching almost everyone struggle with out of control dogs on strained leashes, and believe me the majority DO NOT want any help!

[@fly1327]

@@Taureantiger888 Add 10-15 feet of rope to your leash so it's pretty long. Find a spot without people/other dogs like a quiet park. Start walking and when your dog is distracted and heads somewhere else, let him, then when the leash tightens, POWERFULLY force an about face (now facing you), praising your dog at that distance for paying attention to you. Shortly you'll notice your dog anticipating, not going to the end of rope+leash length. Shorten the amount of rope, eventually to just the leash. Then work on stops and turns. Now the dog is focused on you, the pack leader and recognizes you as such. Being pack animals, dogs are only happy when they understand their social position in the pack. Have fun!

@@fly1327 thanks for some reason my reply was removed or maybe it’s internet connection. We live by the lake so he’s on a longline of that length. On normal walks the prong has completely changed our walks for the better. On beach he gets extremely hyper focused on smells and dogs etc and he ignores corrections. He fixates on the dead fish on the beach… it’s very hard to snap him out of it. Mind you I’m a 5’4120lbs female so maybe my corrections aren’t as sharp as I think they are lol.

We're using one with generally good results, but I hadn't really figured out how/when to correct (it's kind of been a "self-correction" when he lunges), and lately he's pulling a bit again (85% walk is "loose leash" vs 5% prior to prong collar, so has been definite improvement). Your "demonstration on the column is SPOT ON, will share with others!!❤❤❤

I have two large dogs with severe reactivity and I've followed many other videos, trainers (a few from KZbin), and techniques with commitment, but never have I had permanent results until a program like this. I actually learned some of this from another trainer, but this video captures it much better and I'm planning to work with Shield in someway going forward. I will say I think the other videos by Shield K9 on foundational ideas make this much more effective. I struggled with committing to a prong collar and some of the negative corrections emotionally having had some experience and in particular bad experience.

i have a similar collar without the metal and my shepherd took to this after three or four walks. Its such a pleasure to walk him now as he needs the exercise to remain happy and strong. i think the shepherd part helped him as he seems very smart and eager to please. walk time is fun now. Thanks. when strangers come by, jogging or what have while we walk. I simply put him in a sit while they pass. then start back up with a little treat. Just do like they show you and remember they are dogs not people. the better trained the more you can enjoy and love them.

Great explanations and demonstrations. If I see a handler and dog with a prong collar I watch carefully to see how they work as a team. If the handler keeps a straight leash with the prong all of the time, I immediately go to the other side of the street as I can see there could easily be problems. If I see them using the prong collar incorrectly I do the same.

FANTASTIC advice. I have shared your video..I adopted a White Siberian Husky from our local humane society. She was just under a year. She was from a breeder who sold her, and the buyer sold her and they sold her and sold her again .....so from birth to 6 months she was a cash cow...until the humane society got her. The breeder came to claim her but they wouldn't release her. She was adopted a few more times and brought back. So the girl spent the next five months in kennel...they are a great humane society and she has good gate manners...she is people friendly and other animal frindly but she had NO experience as a domestic. PLUS, I had to learn about the Husky and found they dont ever want to be trained..but I found out she is much like myself.....don't tell me what to do but give me reason to do it. Long story and I have only had her for a month but thanks to your training advice we are family now...she is coming along so well...I thank you....

[@caitlinsoup34]

I have no problem with others using prong collars when it is used correctly, sort of like a bit or spurs, but at the same time it completely and reasonably possible to train your dog to walk on a leash properly without one except for more difficult cases where all other methods have been exhausted. I used to use them on my dogs until I found that once I would relieve the pressure on the lead, the chains on the collar would get stuck and not loosen up without me having to manually relieve the pressure. The dogs ended up being more confused than anything since they had no sense relief from the correction. With that being said, I really enjoy this guy's videos. He gives really great, informative training videos that have helped me a lot when it comes to working with my new puppy.

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

I was afraid of the prong collar--I have a dozen "no-pull harnesses", tried "gentle leader", martingales, chain collar---my 90 lb German Shepherd was injuring me 1-3 times weekly, nothing worked. Some of my injuries were pretty significant. Prong Colar was literal life saver. He still totally enjoys his walks, but I haven't fallen or been pulled to the ground since we started using prong collar 6 months ago. He's very happy when he sees me pull out the prong collar. Incidentally--I bought a "Keeper Collar" prong collar--works the same way, but Herm Sprenger prongs are sewn into a sturdy & PRETTY leather collar, eliminates any need for a back-up safety collar. I highly recommend, and no one knows it's a prong collar by looking at it, they just think I have a very well behaved dog. And he is well behaved on walks--now, since using the Keeper (prong) Collar. It's fitted the same, snug but not tight, high on the neck, is kind of like a martingale just like a "plain" prong collar. Also, I started teaching an automatic sit at street corners and a sit or down when other dogs approach. This has also greatly improved walks, by bringing his attention back to me several times throughout walk, and helps with leash reactivity in many ways (I think the other dogs we encounter behave less intimidated, so less likely to approach him in intimidated/threatening manner. And the sit or down when dogs approach winds up being a self-rewarding behavior, because he WANTS to interact with other dogs--and other dogs approach him in more friendly, relaxed way than when he's pulling at leash, overly excited to interact. Oftentimes, he'll now sit or lay down when smaller or more timid dogs approach, without my requesting the behavior, because he gets a better response from dogs we encounter).

I have worked with difficult dogs. I love prong collars. they are NOT bad when used appropriately. A small tug or jiggle gets their attention. a dog that dislocated my shoulder on the 1st attempt at walking turned into a sweet well mannered dog with appropriate pressure and release of the prong collar. I'm currently dealing with someone who thinks prongs are abusive and wants me to just use the 1000 treats method of training. it is infuriating as I think constant treats cause other problems as they cover over your inability to communicate what you want of the dog. I very rarely use treats when training. and all my dogs are well mannered.

Great informative video mate. 😊👍👍 I’ve been training dogs since 1976 and have used all sorts of “corrective devices” and l must say, the prong collar is by far the most effective. Before writing this, l did read quite a few of the negative comments and l came to the conclusion that these people react to, what their heart feels/reacts to, rather than their brain. Not once did the dog react to a “POP” as being painful!! The instant reaction to pain would be clearly and instantly obvious, yet there was no indication of pain demonstrated by the dog, hence there is no pain discernibly associated with the use of the prong collar, as used/demonstrated in this video. A “choke chain” has to be used with much greater force by the handler, to achieve the same obvious results, as clearly demonstrated by the experienced handler.

You are not kidding. It worked almost instantly. I adopted my Huskies from a rescue 1 1/2 years ago. They had their habits, sniffing around on the street for everything. I love them so much but walks have been difficult. They were almost ripping the leash out of my hand on walks. I watched the video and just started "popping the leash". They actually look up at me now for approval if they want to veer off our walk and I've only done this for two walks. The more assertive dog is walking 80% loose leash without pulling and the younger dog is a little better than that. I cannot believe it. I give them time to sniff and mark territory but when we need to walk they pretty much follow me.

[@davidch880]

As a former German Shepherd breeder and trainer, I can tell you that German Shepherds are predominantly praise motivated, food treats are not a big thing with these dogs generally speaking. So, give your German Sheperd lots of praise and show him or her that you really mean it. This behaviour on your part will be far more beneficial in your training regimen. I always used a nylon free slip collar rather than a prong collar and I would use the "pop" (although I called it 'TAG') technique in training and I always found it most effective. The secret is in the "TAGing."

[@johnmarken3945]

Prong collar goes right behind the ears, not so low on the neck, particularly if your dog has a 'ruff' like ours. There are plastic versions that are easier to put on via a latch also that work ALMOST as good. We switch to those once we've gotten some basics down. I really do like your emphasis of 'no pulling' or leash tension allowed. Might empahsize that if you continue forward motion while the leash has tension, you are actually REWARDING the dog for that pulling.I also really like e-collars for transitioning to off leash.

[@sasuanime]

If my dog pulls, I dont move. So to keep moving she needs to stay closer to me. And for this method you dont need any special collars. Just normal walking equipment.

[@laramonroe3363]

Hi Christine. I work with pet dogs of all shapes and sizes in San Francisco. I have never worked with a working dog nor competed in obedience. I mention this to contextualise myself. In my experience, most of the dogs I have trained on a prong collar can go back to a normal flat or training collar (I don't use slip collars). However, it often makes sense to keep using a prong collar for some of the heavier dogs esp. the bully breeds. In addition, I have seen dogs get collar-wise and fail to behave correctly unless the prong collar is on. It depends what you are competing with. When my golden client is around water, no amount of leash pressure or training can overcome the urge to swim, so she wears a prong on the way to the lake. Otherwise she is fine. To cut a long story short, it depends on the dog. With all training, the aim is to use the least intervention as possible. But before switching to a regular collar, PROOF YOUR DOG. This is very important.
