Teaching Your Dog To Listen To You Outside AND Off-Leash!

It's a big step in your training to teach your dog to listen to you off-leash! Most people simply unclip the leash then act surprised when their dog decides that they aren't that interested in them anymore! In this video, Instructor Carol will talk about loading value when you start to teach your dog to listen without a leash on. She will talk about when it means for a dog to be "leash aware" and a few important steps that you'll need to take (pun intended) to make sure your dog listens even after that leash comes off!

Is your dog CONSTANTLY pulling during your walking training? This video is for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Pcm2WuqaiiY80 Happy Training!

Hey I have 1 year old beagle he is very stubborn is there any advice you have very good driven but even more dog driven

Yes he is ...thank u

Great video carol ! Thank you !

I really enjoy watching Instructor Carol. She explains what she is doing very clearly, and demonstrates well.

[@kayleighjuliana]

Yea! I liked that she broke it all the way down to the very start with relationship.

YES!!

I need Carol to come to my house and train my husband because he's not following these great lessons with our rescue very well.🙄

[@davehughes1962]

“I am the squirrel” 🤣 Great video and great teachings, thanks

[@cobbdan]

gotta love instructor Carol!

[@bennash4848]

Love the realistic dogs you always use not the ones that already know what their doing allows people like me to look at realistic body language etc. Great work as always.

I volunteer my dog for the next video!🤪

I don’t always watch dog trainers, But when I do I watch McCann 😉

🍺❤

[@goymedhundDogtrainingBehavior]

I agree - i have 4 favs: McCann Dog Training ( i even stay up all night ( when i can) to catch their live show - they always answer the questions , they are great at engaging us, positive and so cool :) , Then Kikopup ( poor girl just lost her new puppy, Dream, only 10 weeks old ). I also watch. Michael Ellis at Leerburg( incredible talented and emphatic AND superfunny. Lol.. ) and off course : School of Canine Science - they are also awesome. . I LOVE this part of youtube :)

[@terjemullerkarlsen3028]

OMG! Just came in from a walk with my beautiful Rottweiler girl, nearly 6 years old. She came to me like a gift from heaven nearly 2 months ago. And lets just say that walking on a leash was not here strongest side:) But after watching this video and others from Mcann, we have gone from her nearly pulling my arm off when smelling something good, to actually for the whole walk totally changed mindset. (read: Me). After trying out inside, doing some exercises in the back before going off, we had the best walk and time of our days together. Just a few corrections along the way. What a difference! I can not wait for our next walk and the weeks to come to practice this to make it become the new normal. Both Lizzie and I are so grateful. Thank you!

[@sashabaldam2185]

thats great news good job to you and your dog

[@karlasantoro4981]

Awww---goosebumps for you.

I'm curious for a follow up, is she an angel during walks now :D

[@elainelucke]

Carol is an absolute treasure ♥️

[@s3s3e3j3]

What I love most about these videos is that, in addition to being extremely knowledgable and easy-to-follow, Instructor Carol makes it all look so FUN! I find myself smiling as I watch her guide each dog to better behavior--Thanks so much!

[@biljanas7931]

I AM the squirrel lol

[@AastryBrocolirose]

honestly, the blue loading bar thing is the best. if I get impatient I look at it and don't have to wonder how much time before the next section. Oddly it's calming enough that I don't skip forward. You know how to train humans as well!

[@samanthagahm8168]

I love Carol's energy! "Go be a dog!" makes me chuckle

[@RMONINJA]

I have a 1yr old recuse that I've had for only 2 weeks and he pulled non-stop while on-lead. I did this session with him just one and I'm astounded, we can now walk almost continually on a loose lead! Great actionable tips. Letting him realise that he is his own barrier to going where he wants when he pulls works well.

[@rachaelevans8351]

That’s really good to hear, I hope your dog and you keep up the good work

[@JayJayFromAZ]

“People go to casinos all the time not to win all the time but for that random reward!” 😂.

I would really like to see more instructor Carol videos ( especially Border Collie Videos) She makes training make sense.

You guys are saving my ass right now. I just love McCann DT. I wanna buy you beers...or coffee, I like beer but this is about you.

First video I have watched on this channel and totally impressed.👍👍 Instructor Carol is fantastic. She is like a psychologist for dogs and humans. Second, I like that there isn't annoying in your face selling of products like other overly comercial channels. Straight to the instructions.. Wonderful video here. Thanks friends!!

I would love to see something on a dog that REALLY pulls. I would be over the moon if my dog did this.

[@TrippleDKitKat]

I did this with a client recently, the dog was dragging me down the street, she still had the leash tight every so often but I used a similar method like the one on the video and it worked wonders!

[@emjongill]

"I AM the squirrel!" 😂 i'm gonna visualize this when I go out training again 😄

[@jwest9155]

I can just imagine the looks I’ll get from walking back and forth to get into a gate loool. The most challenging thing of dog training is having the time to do it and ignoring all the people around you, and hoping they don’t run up your dog and ruin your training

[@iSwearToCod]

i did it for an hour near my park lol it is what it is and it’s for ur benefit also so i think it’s worth it.

[@milliesecond102]

IKR?!!!

[@h1719]

Oh my gosh yes I agree. I'm always self conscious and I feel like people are judging how I train my dogs

[@Dshatila1983]

@@h1719 That's just you judging yourself.. I used to be that way. When you stop caring about what people think and just enjoy the NOW, everything gets way better... The way we see people is a reflection of who we are. We automatically judge everyone and create our version of them in our story of life. Also,there are many versions of you in this simulated reality based off everyone's perception of you. You are not the same person to each person that knows you or has experienced you in their story and there will be more versions of you in the "future" which is actually now because all there ever is, is NOW!

Love this exercise. I have a young puppy that doesn’t pay attention to me. She also only comes when she wants to. I think I see where we are dropping the ball.

[@Tree60HandcraftedDesigns]

I love McCann's videos and training style. I wish I had known about your methods 40 yrs ago! Love Carol's enthusiasm and her explanations and rationale.

[@saarlooswolfhund6237]

Well done! Exactly in this way we are doing our everyday walks. Having fun together! Give the dog a reason to develop the world together with you and a reason to stay on your side.

[@chrisohear3887]

What a fantastic training session. I've recently adopted a 3 year old cocker spaniel from the kennel. And hes jumped in the water 4 times chasing ducks... Hes a good boy though, I'm sure if I can replicate atleast 10% of this video he'll start doing better :')

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! It is so so helpful !!!

[@chandraeckert3087]

I love your common sense style! Thank you👌

[@DilettanteMusic]

Carol's explanations are clear but this is only partly useful. When Carol is approaching the gate and the lead suddenly gets tense, Lucy comes straight back to Carol to start again. That doesn't happen to us. When our dog Paco pulls, he just keeps pulling and maintains the tension in the lead himself. If I try to gently bring him back to me, he resists and the tension in the lead is maintained. I just don't get how she so easily gets Lucy to go back with her in order to start the process of approaching the gate again. This is a problem with so many dog training videos, where there's no acknowledgment that the dog won't necessarily respond the way it's 'supposed' to and there's no instruction about what to do in those circumstances.

[@iSwearToCod]

agree. they need to do it with a hyper puppy and show all possible mistakes and how to address each one

[@sgoe02]

"Problem to have" ... I love it!!! That is an awesome statement. Love to have the problem that my dog is most interested in me!!!! Awesome!

[@shiva8265]

We just rescued 2 pups. I am having one pup and will be staying here for another 2/3 weeks maybe longer so the pups will be together. I believe they are around 12 weeks (3 months old). In the house here, we have a nervous + reactive Dutch Shepherd + I have a 19 year old Jack Russell X Mancheater Terrier and a bouncy Jack Spaniel (i think). These pups are Frenchie x Chiwuwa (know i misspelled). I am looking forward to learning more training. Great video, thank you!

[@karlasantoro4981]

Love this video. Carol--love watching you work Lucy and teach us why you're doing what you do. My Golden is 7 months old, and I've stopped letting him off leash, except if we are way back in a field, due to adolescence. lol But I love it when he's on long line and checks in with me. "You're checking in with Mama? Great!"

[@jamiegamble7082]

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Great video Carol, very informative.

[@bennash4848]

Brilliant video, sounds silly but never thought about using both lines at the same time and agree with the jumping up at me. Recently I have allowed my collie on a walk to jump when he comes back to me it is obviously a lot more fun since doing this his recall has become even better

[@patricialewis6138]

Carol your a fantastic trainer.

[@mikailagray]

I’ve been really trying to focus on name response for my puppy. He sits pretty well in the house and even outside okay for now but he has a hard time responding to his name consistently. I do short range practice in the house using a toy or his kibble as a treat. I may bring a toy outside. He like playing with sticks and leaves and other things when we go out side so a toy may help reinforce his response outside. Thanks for the tips.

[@pippavanel4170]

I think I would benefit from some training from Trainer Carol, she is amazing and so encouraging!

[@blasiancurlss469]

This is perfect! I have a 5 month doodle and recently walks with her have gotten so bad to where I don't even want to take her because she pulls so much but I will try these tricks and see how it goes.

[@stick__shooter]

Thank you for all the great training videos! We had two dogs and had to put one down a year ago (had him 13 years) and had to put the other down this year (had her 14 years) and we decided to adopt two dogs from the humane society. One is a two year old 18 pound beagle/chihuahua mix who is eager to please and he likes to stay close to us and is quick to come when called. The other is a 9 month old Bulldog mix who is very intelligent and very motivated by praise and food, but she doesn't listen if there's a big distraction (like our outdoor cats in the yard). She has been very quick to learn not jumping up (thanks to the tips from one of your videos). I ordered a long lead just now so we can start using things from this video to work on re-call and staying close. It's difficult because the two dogs love playing with each other and chasing each other around the yard, but it isn't fenced. There's no traffic to worry about, but our yard is surrounded by woods and we don't want her chasing a deer or getting bit by a snake.

[@peggyjorde7000]

Great video Carol. I needed this I have been asking for help to have someone show me how to play with my assistance dog. I am disabled with chronic pain so movement is is not easy and pain is a good teacher. I think Molly knows that but I feel that I need to be more dynamic all the same. There must be a way and I will find it. Thank you.

[@edefrain27]

This video was so good! Carol, thank you for breaking it down for us! I always wondered how to really train a dog to be off leash. I’m still working on building a good relationship with my youngest pup (we don’t call him the tiny terror for nothing 😆) but have high hopes to build up to this!

Hi this video was really helpful with some great tips! I was wondering when would you introduce a command like here or come? Or would you only use there name?

[@sarawallin530]

I love these videos! You guys are so awesome. I am having issues with my pit rescue with pulling. We have had her for like 5 months and she is approximately 1 yr 3 months. We put her on a harness because we were told flat collars can hurt her trachea. We had her on a prong collar to help her with the pulling, which did help however we recently switched her to a harness and she is constantly pulling as we walk. Do you think I should switch to regular collar? I've been thinking about a vibration/beep collar as well.
