Loose-Leash Walking Inside | Teacher's Pet With Victoria Stilwell

[@GraceUponGraceProductions]

THANKYOU! You actually use dogs who aren't trained yet to show how to train them. Other youtubers show you how it's done with trained dogs.

[@marissashowalter4179]

I been training my golden retever for about 8 years and I got all of my tog training from her, and her training really works. All you need when you train a dog is to be patience.

[@cgtoche]

Yup, patience is the most important thing... But this method for loose leash walking, requires months I feel!

[@erocovers]

cgtoche Why do you feel that? She got some noticeable results in this 6 minute video. This is probably faster than achieving the same thing with collars or whatever.

[@marissashowalter4179]

i totally agree :)

[@risafey]

Some dogs are food and toy motivated, so of course not using them like in the vid would make the learning take months for those types. :p Just do as is fit for your dog. Some dogs just want to please their master and "Good girl!" is all they need.

[@nicolas_diaz_equestrian]

Until you can do what she can do and have followers and fans like she has, you are In no position to talk bad about her and her positive training techniques.

[@chicothechihuahua7594]

People saying Victoria's methods dont work, that mean you need to try harder. Me and my dog have learned a lot from her, and it works the way she trains..

[@SuzetteG316]

People who say positive reinforcement doesn't work are really saying they are too lazy or too impatient to train humanely and properly. So many people want the quick fix, but with time, patience and humane methods like Victoria show us, you will not only train your dog effectively and beautifully, but you will also be building a bond of love and trust with your dog.

[@angelonajourney2405]

Or maybe that she fails to mention she’s using a corrective collar in this video 😂

[@adosa2a15]

@@angelonajourney2405 No she's not. Look closely, the collar has an extra loop (probably to get a good grip) but it's not constricting as she pulls.

[@SoBayK80]

Me too! I've used her methods on two dogs and it does work, but you have to out-patience your dog. When my dog is being extra stubborn, he immediately minds if I pull out my cell phone 😂 They want our attention and approval, WE have to do the work to show them how to earn it.

[@hennessygarciahg]

People are just saying that because so they want the easy way out so they would use prong collar’s and things like that and then they say oh look my dog is listening to me balance training old school training dominance training whatever you call it works it’s just dumb

[@rianeubauer8772]

I just started this today with my 6 1/2mo Great Dane pup and, although I did not have high hopes, it went quite well. He had a couple episodes of biting on the leash, so I just stopped, held it still and he got bored. I can see us eventually walking everywhere and him being well behaved. Side note: it also drains a lot of energy, so he is just more well behaved in general.

[@1withwolves]

thats a gorgeous English springer spaniel.thank you for the video.i trained all my other dogs with only a few problems,now i have a new puppy,a Jack Russel/min pincher,and she never responded to my training so i thought id give your lessons a shot,worked right away,thank you so much!!

[@jackieknight5804]

Nice, kind used her methods with my Labrador and they work. Some other trainers on You Tube seem to spend all their time yanking on the dogs lead and neck.

[@KittyM-]

She's brilliant. Clear, no waffle, highly effective ❤

[@samsmith1358]

She is the best dog trainer I have come across. Her methods are invaluable in training dogs, using intelligence, positive reinforcement and compassion.

[@angelonajourney2405]

sam smith she’s using correction too though. That’s a martingale collar... nobody seems to realize that tho hahahah

[@Sharonmullman]

Thank you again Victoria! I love Candace dearly since the day she was whelped, she was a pleasant surprise! You did a wonderful job with her! She sends kisses hugs to you!

[@snahbrah4046]

I tried this today and it worked for the most part for my dog. I used treats and praised her. She eventually protested by just laying down. I'm still surprised and proud she listened for as long as she did. I''m gonna try to be consistent and do this every day for a while. This helped a lot!

[@Natheyja]

My sammy has grown up so big already. He's 8 months old and weighs 24 kg. :) He's an amazing friend, really calm dog. Clicker training has worked up real nice and he learned things so fast. We still keep learning new things together and we're growing a bond that I hope nothing will break. I'm so proud of my boy.

[@peacefulmind12]

Thanks for the info. about Dog wanting to be Pack Leader Baloney. as soon as you mentioned that it made more sense why my dog pulls..

[@la8616]

+peacefulmind12 Dog pack mentality has been proven false again-and-again. The reasons dogs pull is because we are slower than Christmas and they get stimulated being outside.

[@hennessygarciahg]

Yep positive reinforcement training is the best way to train a dog all the Victoria haters are saying that she put down the dog and apparently we’re not watching the videos correctly

[@hennessygarciahg]

L A yep but all the people who watch Cesar Millan they believe that kind of stuff they believe in old school training I guess you would say Victoria has been doing this for about 20 years Cesar Millan has been doing it nine years and I heard he doesn’t have a psychology on dogs Victoria works with behavioral experts psychology experts she knows what she’s doing

[@eHowPets]

Absolutely you can! Some breeds might be a little more excitable and need a little more time/patience so just be prepared for those possibilities. Blueticks are particularly smart so she should adapt well as long as you show her that you're the leader. Just be sure to keep her on the leash in that field to make sure she doesn't run off! Let us know how things go

[@Natheyja]

I've been training with my boy with clicker since I got him, and he's learned so fast. :) My sammy is 8 months old now and oh boy, time has flown by sooo fast.

[@dontpugme]

They don't have a video, but in victoria's forum on her website, there is a thread in the Dog Training Articles section that has helped countless people

[@stevenedwards2162]

Reverse direction is the only method my 12 month cocker spaniel is making progress with having tried everything else Thankyou 👌👍

[@dontpugme]

thank you for taking the time to work with your dog! Positive Reinforcement wins again! :D

[@eHowPets]

You can definitely do clicker training at that age. You might want to just start with the clicker before you move on to not using it. Report back on how it goes!

[@ikktomii]

victoria is my god i hope she’s doing absolutely wonderful

[@iboone99]

Do you think I can train my 8 week old bluetick pup to be a good walker. My wife wants to be able to take her on walks and I do live next to a large field so plenty of opportunity with no cars.I have heard these can be stubborn and it isour first dog but she seems really good and we are giving as much excercise and play as possible somedays two hours somedays only one but she seems really good in our home let me know if you think we can use this method to train her to walk well with us.

[@Rodster3000]

With a dog like this you need to know when he is even going to think about biting your ankles. As soon as he even thinks about it firmly say "no!" to him. When he calms down reward him and give him lots of praise.

[@Imwright720]

I remember her from the tv show. I always liked her training style.

[@freetje44]

Hahahahahaha loooove the tongue xD beautiful dog and great tips!

[@eHowPets]

It's definitely tricky to have her in "training" mode when she wants to be in "hunting" mode (like Blueticks are the majority of the time). She's still young and it's important to keep the patience while trying to teach her commands and obedience. There are some really great additional articles about training Blueticks on the ehow site, such as this one: ehow . com/how_6368247_train-bluetick-coonhound.html

[@highfive6095]

As humans, we tend to believe we need a lot of verbal recognition to communicate with our dogs. It's important to step outside ourselves and realize that, where our species' communication revolves around words, theirs revolves around body language. This means they're naturally very aware of yours -- if you've been around dogs, you know how they observe you. A smile or body posture that reflects relaxation and happiness means just as much to them as an "atta girl." The benefit of using this type of reward is that it helps to keep your dog (and you!) calmer. It would be easier for the puppy in this video to control her whining and jumping without the charge of excitement generated by Victoria's vocalizations. When you're calm, you teach your dog to be calm. It makes it easier for a dog not to pull, it makes it easier for them to be social with people and other animals, and it makes it easier for them to be loved by the multitudes. Good luck with your training, and may your dog teach you the art of relaxation and joy.

[@Natheyja]

I'm so glad I found these videos! I will be getting my first companion in January and really could use some good training tips. Is eight weeks a good age to start with clicker training too? And can both training methods be used at times: with clicker and without? Or should one just stick to either or in everything?

[@erichwelgemoed]

love this but this dog what breed exactly is the dog?

[@kamkam7964]

It's an English Springer Spaniel :)

[@nancyle8306]

Make sure to use the proper walking equipment like body harness or head harness for better control. And, a non retreactable leash. Yummy treats and lots of toys help to redirect your dog to you.

[@AbraKadabi]

My dog, Charger, is a 7 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Queensland Heeler mix. I know his breed is very hyper and excitable, but I feel like since he's a bit older, he should be calmer? When I try walking him like Victoria says, he jumps up and bites the leash. It's not an aggressive bite, definitely a "I want to play" bite, but I don't really want to walk around with a jumping dog! Haha. Could anyone help?

[@julianbolt]

You're both gorgeous!

[@kassyangel1]

Which is better a collar or a harness for a pup?

[@rosemary8780]

Really great videos! Thanks Victoria :D

[@Juniperberri]

Helped a lot!

[@Alytra]

My dog pulls, but she also bites the leash. Shes a teacup poodle and has chewed through extremely thick leashes. and has learned a lot of things super quickly. The one thing that she refuses to do is walk good on a leash. Shes amazing around the neighborhood but the second she realizes we're heading home she becomes a completely new dog. She chokes herself even with a good harness and she starts wheezing like crazy. She will take treats inside the house, but the second we're outside she doesn't at all care. I'm praying this'll help.

[@AbraKadabi]

Well, humans aren't their moms and dogs know that. And having prongs shoved into your throat constantly will only harm their trachea. That's why it's good to train your dog to walk loose leash, no matter what type of collar you use.

[@nancyle8306]

Yes starting training as early as possible is important. Motive your dog to move with praise, food, toys while the leash is on. Let's go is a different command than come. Let's go is for on leash loose leash walking. Come is for off leash, the dog must come to you and sit in front of you.

[@dodojack1045]

Can you do a video with a dog that's not already trained. Thanks.

[@imocooper1039]

Ive tried this! It worked sometimes.

[@steveess20]

Well, I'll try it. Makes sense. We have the same breed of dog as is in the video, about the same age (and about the same behavior). Right now I'd give myself an F as far the dog walking goes. What kind of collar is that?

[@yutorubenliamtheodyeryeung2053]

what age should i start to train my puppy on leash is 8 weels old. any advise on cavapoos

[@nancyle8306]

Like Victoria said this dog in the video doesn't like food or toys so she uses praise. She said you need to find what motivates your dog. I would say absolutely use toys or treats depending on your dog. Overtime once your dog is in the later stages of training you can phase our the treats/toys or give them spontaneously. Nancy ABCDT

[@colleencummings7480]

I've been working with this with my 14 week old golden retriever. she does well, but she tends to bite/pull on the leash. should i just keep going and ignore this behavior?

[@aytekyildizcom]

This was amazing!

[@darakjamal]

I have a 10 week old Pit-Bull pup. She doesn't pull but she constantly sit down during our walks (something every 2 or 3 steps) and its a challenge to get her back to start walking. She'll also stop and sit if somebody is approaching us or behind us. I live in downtown chicago so needless to say there's a lot of distraction. Any recommendations on mitigating all the stops and sits. She pretty good inside the building and in the house but the outside is a whole different story. Thanks!

[@madeleiner559]

how old is this pup? mine is 6 months and I think its the right time for this as they are too young otherwise.

[@MrRasorci1]

I think your puppy wants to be the alpha pup. You need to take control and let your puppy know you mean business but in a nice way. I would suggest taking your puppy out for small walks everyday and when it needs to go to the bathroom to get it used to being on the leash. Let your puppy know it is a fun experience and that he/she has nothing to worry about. If you don't mind, you might want to try putting your puppy in a harness to make it less stressful. I hope this helped. :)

[@jessicacrew267]

do you think that will work with a few mounth old puppys

[@dontpugme]

Just keep up with turning around immediately if he jumps. Always make sure you never give him anything when he jumps. He must have all paws on the floor to get anything. Also, make sure he knows sit very well. Show him that he gets stuff like food or attention when he sits but jumping gets no response.

[@ijustreallylikeramenokay7626]

How do you find out what a dog is motivated by? I have a 4 year old rottweiler that is pretty well behaved most of the time. However, when he's on a walk and sees a dog, he will stare at the dog until the dog goes out of sight, or comes over. If the dog approaches and picks up a fight, or even just a game, he will be very aggressive. He likes food, but when he's outside nothing will distract him. He's generally not really motivated by toys or praises neither.

I have a heavy puller because I skjor with my lab. She heels off-lease fine. I trained heel with no leash right-side, left-side, and backwards heeling using a food bowl (most labs are chow hounds). kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4HGZmyMqrGKjK8 Left and right side heeling can be useful in retriever sports. I also teach a silent auto-sit whenever my left foot stops:kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGLGgaONjcp5pMU The silent auot-sit while heeling is useful for us jump-shooting ducks at spring creeks up here in Alaska. These were easy to teach without a leash using food bowl training. I like food bowl training because with twice a day feeding, I have a eager student with 60 short training sessions per month.

[@yeawutever94]

My sister has a Pitbull that's almost two years old. She took him from a friend who didn't have the time to train him. The leash pulling is a big thing for him because he was never walked on a leash before we got him but another big thing of his is jumping on people. We try ignoring him but it annoys everyone in the house very fast. So is there any way to train him to keep him from jumping on everyone? Please respond as fast as you can:)

I have just started training my 4 month old Podengo cross pup, when she sits and refuses to move I put a tiny treat ahead of her on the road, gets her moving real fast!

[@ScottNygren]

Some good breeders will start training (even clicker training!) at a young age. Learning starts (to be functional for people) at 1-2 weeks - even before they open their eyes!. Clickers can be scary, but if paired with super yummy food (cheese works well) a good breeder can start then too. I've seen a littler of 5 week old puppies all go from jumping on the xpen to sitting en-mass waiting for their bonus food rations (other than mom's)

[@nancyle8306]

When walking purchase a body harness for better control. Practice "watch me" exercises . Use food , toys or praise to motivate him to focus on you. When he jumps turn around but keep an eye on him. As soon as all four of his paws touch the floor turn around give him a treat. And repeat as much as you need. For house guest coming over. Think about teaching "go to your place" to prevent jumping and excited greetings. Google how to train "watch me" "go to your place" Good Luck Nancy ABCDT

She doesnt seem to focus on me easily when I call her name as she is pulling even though she knows her name so it is difficult to switch direction so I have been stopping and saying stop until she stops and then I say lets go and start walking again but she most often starts pulling again.

[@nancyle8306]

See what motivates your dog is it food,toys, praise? Make sure have things he will work for when the leash ison his collar. Look at how Victoria is using praise for the dog and crouching down low, using a really high voice. All to motivate her but, if your dog isnt responding you might be using the wrong motivator.

My puppy didn't need to do that. We just putted him on the grass. Then he smelled the holl field, after like 5 minutes he was walking with me evryday.

[@nancyle8306]

Like Victoria dogs don't want to be on a leash when they are born. Overtime they build a positive association that leash = walk. You motivate your dog will praise, food, toys when the leash is on.Try different foods..chicken, hot dogs, tug toys, etc. to see whatyourdog will work for.And, dont give these high value items unless your dog is working for it. i.e walking loose on a leash, sitting, etc.

[@korynnininm]

thanks for the vid my dog is a pit bull ( very gentle) and if i look like i don't have control over my dog people freak out also any tips to keep them from jumping or how to rain them not to? if i get any comments on why pit bulls are horible i will report u and have your accout shut down!

[@nancyle8306]

Work in a low distraction area first like inside your home. Like Victoria did in the vid. Use a praise, treats, toys to have him focus on you instead of that is ahead. Again, like Vic did in the vid.

[@kuwaizair]

what if they are high strung and being unpredictble upsets them?

[@kuwaizair]

or if you trun around they will resist and plant themself and want to walk backwards to go foward.

[@KellyOKellyComedy]

That's a good point.

[@victoriapizzo1013]

No it doesn't

[@melissagoodman681]

another way is to just stop every time your dog pulls and wait for slack on the leash or for your dog to look at you. It takes time and a lot of patience but it can be effective depending on your dog. it worked for mine. She learned that she was going to go anywhere if she was pulling.
