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

[@marilynvega4428]

These videos are so helpful, my papillon puppy (11 weeks old) chews and pulls on the leash or house line as soon as I put it on him, he’s extremely energetic (crazy) I don’t walk him yet, but I put him on leash to take him out to potty in the back yard, there’s a lot of birds of prey in my area so I can’t just let my tiny 3 pound puppy run loose outside, my question is about collars vs harnesses, most of the videos show dogs wearing collars, do you recommend collars better than harnesses to gain more control of the dog while doing these training exercises? my concern is that a small breed puppy’s neck is much more fragile than a large breed pup, which is why I’m using a harness. But I wonder if the use of the harness is working against me. I’ve tried to show him how to not pull/chew and walk on a loose leash but this little guy is wacky, he’s not always food motivated, and keeps picking up leaves and stuff from the yard to chew on, most times he’s so distracted he won’t go potty while we’re outside, (or it would take a really long time)and then shortly after we come back inside he’ll have an accident. Thank you for all the great content

[@Brenday68]

Thank you!! The details you give are awesome, well done! The details of the how to train make such a big difference.

[@leejennifercorlewayres9193]

Why wouldn't you use a chain collar? I find the chokers way more safe should the dog try to back out to escape. They also give a clicking sound before the dog reaches the complete limit which warns them to brace up whereas a flat collar gives no warning and just gives a hard impact. They are also less likely to fail. I guess I'm paranoid the dog might escape and get in big trouble.

[@pokeyjourneys3984]

What about just laying on the ground in biding at least?

[@Amy_deedee]

Me three... She talks AS she's showing us WITH a dog. My 4 month old started biting the leash and when I'd say "no" and pull it out of his mouth it would turn into crazy zoomys with barking, jumping on my legs, biting my clothes & growling when just seconds ago he was perfect. Idk if my walks are too long for him, he's overstimulated, tired, thirsty, hungry or has to poop. When it's on a neighborhood sidewalk (not a remote path) it's so embarrassing. Ugh. I'll deff try these tricks next time!!

[@l.i.l.i.s.e.l.l.s]

Me too she’s to the point and explains so well

Holding the lead parallel to the ground for stoppers completely transformed walking with my 3 mth old pup. 1st walk trying it, so much better, 2nd, flawless loose lead walking. It's like magic!!

Thank you so much for this!! When my puppy is doing something wrong I don't see in the mainstream training videos, I get so frustrated with both her and myself. But this particular instructor is so great at addressing less commonly talked about issues, and also being so sweet to the dogs and addressing different techniques for different dog personalities. 🥰🥰🥰

[@emilyjeanine1159]

My Boston pup was a stopper. I tried bribing him with treats at first to get him to move, but I’d have to bribe about every 10 feet. It was so frustrating, but then one day, idk…I decided to carry him. Just go on a walk carrying my 12 week old pup. I know not everyone will be able to do that (my pup was and still is quite small) and a lot of people in my neighborhood gave me a bit of heckling (“Ain’t he supposed to be walking?” “Ain’t he got legs?” Etc) but what this did was engage his curiosity. He was like “Hang on hang on hang on, what are all those sights and smells?” And I actually rewarded him trying to wriggle out of my arms, by putting him down. Then he was glad to walk the neighborhood and explore. :) And now his walks are his favorite!

As I'm training my Cavapo pup, I see a Stopper, a Hopper and a Chomper in her. I have to admit, I've viewed this video 7 or 8 times. The techniques Carol suggests work really well, and used high value treats (baked chicken) for motivation. Thank again!!

It is a joy to watch you training..... so patient, kind, understanding and loving.... One day soon I hope I will be able to take my dog on walks, as of now she is so independent minded or should I say unruly.... she pulls , she stops , she doesn't like us handling her leash. But otherwise she follows me everywhere like a duckling behind its mom.

[@davidalan3503]

THANK YOU! I have a stopper and there is very few resources online to help with this behavior. It’s been a frustrating experience, but now I have some good tips and corrections for my own behavior. Hopefully my own corrections can help my pup. Thanks again.

[@TomScott89]

Nice video, for hoppers what if the cause is a place? When I walk her through the housing estate there are dogs behind walls which she can hear and always goes mental walking by, but it's the only path we can take so should we do the sit and stop there ?

[@TheClawrenc]

You are bang on. Anytime or any place our dogs lose their brain we can give them something to do. And that sit is ideal. Once they are calmer we can move ahead. It may be a little tougher because the situation we showed the dog moves away. you will need to move through but establishing calm is still a great strategy.

At one year she has had lots of time for bad habits to become ingrained. Sometimes it helps to go to a professional--even just once if money is an issue!--to help point out behaviors YOU are exhibiting that you are unaware of. The problem is very rarely with the dog.

[@mochiyeosang1908]

I'm trying to use my 8 week old puppy's leash to potty train but she just bites at it and rolls onto her back. Similarly, whenever we go outside she just wants to lay in the grass and eat it, and if I move she chases after me and does it all over again (herding breed). Also, for regular training. She isn't very food motivated at all, she doesn't like following the food so it's hard to train tricks and crate train.

[@beautifulpeeps7086]

I don't know if this will help at all, but I have a heading dog mix, and at first she just wanted to herd everything and wouldn't listen to me at all, but I got a couple of chickens and to satisfy her need to herd, I would let her herd the chickens and train her a bit with that. Afterwards, she's all tired out and she actually carried on with regular training just fine. So maybe all your dog needs is some training to satisfy the urges that comes with the breed? Sorry if this doesn't help, just decided to share some of my experiences.

Hi so we’re getting a dog for the first time and r confused between Maltese and cocker spaniel. Which dog do u recommend?

[@user-ei6ff4rx6l]

i’m no dog expert by any means, we recently just got a puppy but i’d say research each breed and see which is a good fit for you. maltese are very intelligent and easy to train but potty training can be hard bc they’re small dogs meaning smaller bladders they can also be quite sensitive and do tend to bark a lot. cocker spaniels are usually pretty gentle and loving, easy to train but are also barkers. this puppy we got recently is also our first and i just want to let you know that puppies are a lot of work, even more than you think. my entire family and i didn’t realize this and didn’t do enough research around it. especially if your puppy is young expect a lot of potty accidents, biting, and sometimes crazy puppy behavior. be sure to be loving with your puppy, though they can get very frustrating at times, you gotta be extremely patient(we’re still working on this) because remember they’re basically babies. try not to reinforce bad behavior/habits like when they whine don’t give attention until they’re quiet. puppies are adorable but seriously a ton of work. you have to be consistent and will probably lose a lot of sleep as you need to get up every 2-3 hours when they’re young to let them go potty if you decide to crate train them, which is recommended to speed up potty training process and reduce accidents.
