Charlie, I really like Ash style of training; this guy knows his stuff.

[@SimonHurley-vq3fd]

excellent, learnt loads. thank you

[@ChrisHamon-j3c]

Absolutely loved this video. Very informative .. educating dog and owner. Brilliant. We have a 5 month old fox red Lab. he is reacting very well to this lesson. I hope you can do more of these sort of lessons. Thank you all so much 😊👍

[@mrhelichopper]

Absolutely brilliant video, full of great practical tips. So refreshing to see a genuine training video and not one that is set up.

[@jaybird4610]

Fantastic lesson. Thank you to the clients for letting us see it.

[@stephenchurchman7619]

Never easy learning new techniques and being vulnerable on camera - big thank you to the owners. Having worked through distractions with our dog, it helped when our trainer explained that dogs are ‘innocently selfish’ and not doing those behaviors to be difficult on purpose Well done team!

[@The_Gman9123]

These videos are fantastic. More of the same please. Fantastic trainer 😊

[@kmwalsh1916]

Big thank you to the family for sharing their pup and story! Finding all these videos super useful as we raise our new Barbet pup Lydia😅 all the way in SD, California. Charlie, your name comes up everyday in our home! Training her to be a family pet as we cant shoot in the city😂 but want to make life fun for her and make her feel like she has a purpose. Any ideas for us that you can “shoot” over would be much appreciated! Ps I’ve been sending your Chanel to all my friends. Thanks again KW

[@PJTeal1]

Great video. More like this please. Well done to Ash and Bonnie’s owners. Clear and simple 👏👏

[@EKensai]

I've watched alot of YT videos on training over the last year. This is hands down the best video demonstration of training I've seen. Ash I think it is, is just training and we watch, really effective much better than someone talking to the camera. Extremely realistic clients. This will be 99 percent of dog owners first time, struggling to get the knack of everything, I've been there still there in many respects with my pup but this video is inspiring and I will get there. Thank you so much to Charlie and Mordor Gundogs!

[@metarich2451]

Great video that makes Perfect sense. Going to use these first few tips for our 6month old Vizsla girl. Hope you post more videos like this format along the way for more tips. I’ve watched lots of your content but this just nailed it.

[@heilanhame]

Fantastic video, love your work Ash😊

[@Jacky-zj6ol]

This is a great video! It’s so helpful to see how a full lesson goes to learn a dog to walk heel. Timing is everything… Probs to Ash for being a positive teacher and giving clear instructions. 😊

[@aquarmby]

Best video on the channel by far

[@carolwilliams3599]

Another excellent video! I learn something new with every one. Thank You!

[@christineburke4785]

Ash is fantastically clear with his instruction. Great lesson 😊

[@putbinoot]

Nice video and good to see him training the owners as much as the dog.

[@jacquelinekennedy-b9w]

Thank you so much to you all for this very informative training session. Its great to see how you work through the problem

[@karinasmith504]

Brilliant video!

[@clivenorman9767]

Great video Ash, nice to see you and Lauren doing so well 👍

[@homestead.smallholding]

This is the most useful video yet. I really appreciate the reframing of our actions and focus on how they're reacting to it... really good advice. Thanks Ash, Charlie + Team

[@rhyssmith4]

This is a great watch more of this 👌

[@NettyNotts]

I've been trying to get my Viszla to walk nicely on the lead for 2 years, I watched your video yesterday and put a slip lead on him for the first time. The difference is amazing, thank you so much.

[@jamesblackwell5771]

We've had a lot of difficulty as well with our Vizsla! Lots of changing directions with the slip lead helped a lot

[@fabokavrs]

Same here. Night and day difference.

[@judsonstreet-yl3iz]

Very well done, professional, and informative. The trainer had great communication with the owners. I hope the owners will gain more confidence. The owners are very wise to contact you and learn from a professional. I found that place training aided in training sit, recall, heel, and steadiness. Making a large space small was very important for my dog Porter. We love your videos and your fun loving approach to teaching your animals. We would be interested in seeing additional videos of teaching whistle sit and casting. Thank you for your excellent content, Judson M. Street

[@gordonspringate7500]

Really good training video. I have not previously seen the trainer actually undertaking training skills. More please!!.

[@sharonC662]

Love this video. I really learned a lot. it's good to see mistakes and how to rectify, thankyou to everyone for sharing

[@pim1234]

exactly like my dog ! All the same 'problems'

[@rensha8635]

Loved watching that. I’m practicing those points tomorrow with my young lab. All Makes perfect sense.

[@NatalieFinnigan]

This is really useful, thank you!

[@janetwarren-dunford5449]

Great video, love this. So informative and easy to follow. Thank you Ash. More like this please. ❤

[@vivdawson5953]

That was absolutely brilliant … Great learning video… Thankyou… so much to learn🤗

[@profitfever]

Loved this, learnt so much. I think the problem I’ve had with some of the previous heel videos is your dogs seem really engaged with you. As soon as I’m in the street my dog looses engagement with me. This shows me how to essentially nag her to get her focus back in a gentle way. Loved this. More please!!

[@1seannnn]

great lesson. Skipping this first step is where most people go wrong imo. So important to start small.

[@richstratton8583]

Fantastic video, Ash is an amazing trainer. Great to see, thank you

[@Boris-z3d]

Great video full of high value practical training tips! Amazing trainer and thank you for doing those! 👏👏👏

[@Glasshousebc]

This was superb, informative. I Always learn something from all you do. Many thanks

[@keithhaynes8079]

I like this Charlie and Ash good lesson more of this please I am still a novice at 79 and 5 dogs later, you are never to old to learn more I have one at 19 months he is coming on nicely but he has a lot to learn.

[@clareodonnell6016]

Fabulous thank you for providing this.

[@Avert87]

This is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you! My puppy is mouthing the lead, and likes to keep hold of it, I keep it loose and just let him carry it, so long as he's walking nicely by my side. He's only 13 weeks old, so just doing 5 mins a day. The breeder demonstrated to me, and it was almost sad to see him obviously feel more confident with her 😅 Hoping to grow in confidence, and your videos help so much, so thank you.

[@oldtimerdoggroomeruk230]

Great video good to see people learning!

[@mikeprince8514]

Great video, really informative thanks to you and the owners for sharing - love this style of video a series perhaps??

[@SN-qc5vb]

Super good and informative video!👌 Thanks for that 👍

[@rosjierandevelynhall9421]

Brilliant ! Thankyou, leash ‘reactivity ‘ … if it didn’t react it would be dead ‘😂 … really interesting topic . Great to see this lesson

[@nurseyj9]

Really good information about how much sleep a young dog needs! My beddywhippet (8 months) sleeps a good 5 hours in her crate every day, whether I'm on my nightshifts or not. Deliberate for me to make sure she's settled whilst I sleep the day away so her routine is exercise/training every morning, settle and sleep, wake up for dinner, toileting walk and then a bit of sofa time before I go to work. I also find that brain exercise (heelwork especially) makes her more tired and ready to settle than just physical exercise

[@BenJamminJ]

What a superb trainer and lesson

[@fabokavrs]

Recently subscribed and this video was really useful. We have a 2 year old show cocker who basically we’ve done rubbish at training. So far spend 3 days (2x20 mins sessions a day) using this video as a guide and it’s been a night and day improvement. Also not used a single treat haha

[@thesvictory]

Thank you😄 This is Brilliant😄

[@KateOHara-xg4up]

Love love this.

[@KateOHara-xg4up]

Would be great to see next lesson if they come back, to see progress and what advice they are given for next stage.

[@LauraChamberlain-o2b]

Amazing

[@lauraemery9630]

Great video... more like this

[@urbanmtb3984]

Great can you do more vids like this

[@susanread5537]

Love this video! Fantastic

[@harveythedeveloper6347]

We have a 7 month old "fox red" lab also named Bonnie. Exactly the same temperament and walking issues so thank you, what a coincidence!

[@drdamo666]

I like this a lot, obvious stuff. But it's a really good demo of the slip lead and is making me think it's probably time to get one! Micromanagement on the lead was really good tip.

[@amyaw98]

Thank you for this video, very helpful!. Last week I had an incident where someone not only ignored my 'no' when they asked to say hello, but also FED my dog as he was being jumpy & over-excited (which is something I've been working very hard to fix!). For context this person knows me/the dog, but that's no excuse to ignore my 'no'. They justified it by saying "it's okay, I have labs myself. I know what it's like"... 🙄 Your videos help me maintain my confidence inspite of incidents like that which make my training harder.

[@nurseyj9]

A hard stare, raised eyebrow and a 'police stop' hand out gesture works wonders!

[@amyaw98]

@nurseyj9 get myself one of those shields the police have 😂

[@GLNZ1]

Just tried this with a dog we're looking at rehoming for a friend and amazed how well it works. Totally different dog

[@vivdawson5953]

Absolutely brilliant … thanks So much to learn …. No need to even know the dog’s name or even speak to it! Clever stuff and well done to the owners for letting us watch the video . They were great too! 👍🏻 lovely dog!

[@petemitchell8884]

Social butterfly,so true😂

[@geoffmatthias3056]

Great video it really shows how important training really is. Ash is excellent at communicating with the owners 👏 just goes to show you get out what you put in 🐕‍🦺👍

[@0304CJB]

Really interesting, more training the owners than the dog! More content like this.

[@GLNZ1]

It's always the owners that need training. Ash is providing very clear comms to the owners so they can then provide very clear comms to the dog. Kudos to the owners for being filmed. Favourite owner training channel 😄

[@jaybird4610]

The trainer subtly mentions “the dog remembers the sit not the recall” during the recall portion of this lesson. In my opinion this is VERY important part of the lesson.

[@eleanorwilde9323]

Will there be a follow up video with her progress?

[@spindriftgamer5614]

How do you deal with lead biting. My cocker just twists and goes bonkers trying to chew the lead

[@RiverBlakeful]

Rub vix vaporub on it

[@KateOHara-xg4up]

@@spindriftgamer5614 my cocker used to do this. Depending on age of yours it could be that you're trying to do too much too soon maybe? Mine is 10 months now and no longer does it but it was very frustrating at the time. In hindsight I'd say I just went too quickly and I think taking a step back, even at this age is better but very hard. This video is good to watch at the lab isn't much younger than mine so nice to hear them say he's still young.. We will get there!

[@petemitchell8884]

Would you agree that tone of voice is important as well..not the usual puppy puppy puppy! More of relaxed,normal tone?

[@explorewithsteggie1913]

Can you suggest a schedule for when I bring home an eight week old puppy? I plan to create train.

[@joefish6546]

I would love to also see this trainer showing slip lead walking on a finished dog. During the turns its almost like he is using his left hand to cue the turn like you would use your hand for targetting with a dog. If this is the case, does there come a point where the dog targets your knee, or hip instead to maintain position and the hand can be freed from that position, or does the handler maintain that hand position while walking?

[@viktorholmgren8978]

I have a question. If you live in an area where you're need to keep your dog on a leash while they pee and poo, how do you handle that if your dog is in training to heel?

[@DaleCairnie]

At what age should i start walking my puppy?

[@vivdawson5953]

Two comments above ‘cos I am technophobic 😂😂….

[@thehomme]

You call it a “nag” when it’s actually a punishment. It’s a shame to see trainer like you still teaching with aversive methods and passing this on to owners. Where do you draw the line in using force to train your dogs?

[@PJTeal1]

Maybe watch a different channel if you don’t agree with the methods?!

[@ThemoosemanT]

I think the NAG here is being used, reasonably effectively by the trainer, and understandably less so by the owners, as a negative reinforcer, rather than a positive punishment. That said, it's not my cup of tea either, but really no point in asking your question here.

[@thehomme]

@@ThemoosemanT adding something the dog doesn’t like is positive punishment. Punishment is punishment regardless of whether it works. Why not challenge and draw attention to poor training? And yes I’ll not watch anymore. KZbin algorithm recommended the video

[@bobmac2786]

Where do you see punishment? I see gentle instruction. You can’t discuss and explain your requirements with the dog. You need to give instruction in a way the dog understands. He calls it a nag I call it a reminder. The dog will learn from this type of instruction. I wonder what methods you use to achieve the same results?

[@thehomme]

@@bobmac2786 you can’t see the punishment? The dog is having its neck yanked repeatedly with the lead. It’s a physical aversive being added to the dogs environment which is positive punishment. Would you smack a child repeatedly until it learns how to behave? When would you consider the training to be punishment? When the dog yelps in pain? Perhaps you think that’s ok too as long as it works? Loose lead walking can be taught better with a longer lead and positive reinforcement - adding something to the dogs environment he values such as food or a toy. It’s upsetting to realise most people such as yourself don’t realise that the approach in the video is both cruel and unnecessary and worse presented as the only and correct way.
