I have a American bully im trying to teach how to heel got any advice?

[@kimplpnoklahoma9660]

@AmericanStandardDogTraining I had an issue with my dog being trained for service dog services. I had the trainer tell me to use a pig stick to get his attention which was fine. He’s a German Shepherd and has lots of fur but the trainer was attempting to get his attention for something and she whipped him with the stick much harder than I was comfortable with. She told us to use a plastic “prong” type collar and I bought a metal one because the plastic one didn’t get his attention much and she also uses the flexible martingale collar (I think that’s the name of it). He was adopted as a 1-2 year old street dog from SPCA and hes a quick learner. I am struggling with my trainer because I feel like we should be able to heel and that things we do have nothing to do with service dogs. Do you think a pig stick is an appropriate tool and what do you suggest to help him with on leash heel?

@@AmericanStandardK9first I really enjoy watching your videos.... Second we have a American Pitbull, and he is super emotional if you are giving love he trembles, if he's excited he trembles, if he's in trouble he trembles, and he is HYPER protective at home and only home, and he doesn't know how to greet people always aggressive approach but 3minutes later when he realizes hey it's ok, he is their best friend and wants love, until they leave the house and return it's back to square 1

[@Troy-Echo]

@@kathyalbin3553 I agree 100%. I've guilty of this too. I really liked what I saw Garret say in the puppy leash training video with the Cane Corso named Brooklyn (I think)? He said not to name a command until the dog is doing that action well. I introduced the word 'Sit' too early, but it was such a simple action to train it didn't really matter. Now I also have her sitting via hand command. I'm working on 'down' now, silently. My prong collar will be here later today and I can start training Echo (our Husky / Treeing Walker Coonhound mix) in the bathroom where the dog cannot go but so far AFTER I properly introduce the prong collar as a positive and awesome thing that gets the dog treats when she sees it and comes to me and then when she lets me put it on for more rewards/payments.

If I'm going to working with a dog that won't recall and I need them to, I will turn and walk or even run the other way, it almost always works.

Rottweiler owner from NW Europe here. This vid just appeared on my list. I agree with you 100%! My dog has 6 acres of fenced woodland & meadows where he can walk freely. And he comes every time when I call him (whistle). From day 1 I started to reward his return to me. And now, a few years later, I still give him that treat. He always returns, even if he's 200, 300 yards away and can't see me. Me whistling is enough. (Now... how to educate those people who walk their dogs off-leash without having them under control. It annoys me endlessly every time an un-socialized dog walks up to my dog and enters my Rottweiler's 'personal space'. They always start moaning about my Rottweiler's reaction towards their rude dog...)

[@salownsu123]

Perfect recall is amazing and a necessary tool to teach. Tho to play devil's advocate, a rottie's behavior towards other unknown dogs on his territory can be incredibly aggressive and that's also something that can be trained out. My GSD for example has been shown since day 1 that any aggressive behavior will not be tolerated and now whether he's on or off leash, I NEVER have to worry about his behavior with other dogs. If your rottie gets aggressive, he could injure the other dog who could very well have only approached out of curiosity or to play.

[@scottlambert8891]

I totally agree, recall or coming to you is not natural in my opinion. Anytime the dog comes to me, I never, never and never give any corrections, I praise, even when they walk by me I praise.

@@bearashby4451 prong collars are fine, but they are supposed to be used with big, tough, well-trained dogs. They are not fine if you use them as punishment or slap one on a chaotic dog and leave it on a chain or start pulling around. A well trained dog will never put pressure on the collar, so won't pierce it's neck. It's not a punishment tool, it's a communication tool. Some breeds, like corso, alabai, kargal - won't even notice a simple collar. And they are more than capable of dragging you along NO MATTER how big and strong you are. So no, it's you that needs to educate yourself.

But it's just dangerous to let a machine of a dog think it is the strongest smartest in the group. I like to tie my dog up and then walk away. Call him me to. Watch him try with all of his might to get to me and fail. He's not strong enough. Then I just breeze on over whush and he's free. He looks at me like I'm magic.

I have got a German Shepherd she just turned four the people that had her before me usually kept her in a cage. Not because they were trying to be mean just because they were busy people. Every time I went over there I seen her in a cage so I talked them into let me take her home with me and see if I can find a good owner for her that has time to train her to be a good dog. I've had her , about a month or two and now I am attached so I'm going to keep her. She's not trained to go potty outside or trains to do anything. I do find that she listens to her name very well she comes to me when I call her name. She loves to go on she walks me very well. When I get the leash out he goes crazy excited so excited that she keeps moving around and won't let me put the leash on her it takes a good two or three minutes to get her leash on. Remember no training at all stuck in a cage all the time, what would be my first steps to take with her?

I agree. I have pugs and they are very high energy. They love to run when they get outside the kennel.

[@flameangel202]

Yes, Dogs need positive reinforcement when returning to you even when they haven't returned straight away. We have owned sight hounds over the last 18 years and these dogs aren't known for good recall at all. I always gave a big fuss and treat to my Whippets from when they were puppies. My female was so good, I could call her back if she took off having seen something from full flight, she would do an arc and come straight back to me.

[@Sh4dowlands]

I always had a very strong opinion on the tools. But I have to admit that you are literally the first trainer that I can say I can respect and who honestly and complete explains how you should use these tools. The e-collar is forbidden in my country, the prong collar isn't but I have to say, I have never seen anyone ever used it the way you explained it. Hence I got my opinion about it. Thanks for being so clear and open.

[@jondoe4667]

The trainer that helped me with my dog explained it the same way. After a few seconds they are no longer thinking about the fact that they didnt come when called,and have no idea why they are getting a correction. He also said if you punish the dog for peeing on the floor it wont make sense to him because he doesnt understand if it was the act of peeing on the floor,or just the factbthat there is pee on the floor that made you angry. Sometimes its easy to forget that dogs do not think the same way humans do.

I just recently got a border collie, he's been great as well, any tips or tricks that you have? Also how long was your boy with you? What type of food did you feed him? I'm just curious because where I live no one has border collies and all vets or pet stores recommend these high processed foods

[@ciaranobrien8709]

@JanetDragamore first of all, congrats, the border collie is a fantastic breed and easy to train. They love mental stimulation and are born to work. we had rex for 14 years, rarely a health complaint. They love fetch, but they can be a bit compulsive with that game. I used to play Frisbee (I taught him some cool tricks!) and run and stop instead. They have a very natural herding instinct and so will tend to round up anything they can lol. This in their mid to later years makes them fantastic with a young family. My only negatives would be, I have seen some that were snappy but I felt it was because of lack of leadership and stimulation, also they have boundless energy, a good walk everyday, socialise them from pup and play constructive games and you will have the best and most loyal family dog you could hope for. Food wise, he never liked dry food so I fed him tinned and when I was at the butcher I would always get him a few off cuts. I hope this helps you with your new dog, he or she will keep you active and entertained for years, and once they are happy you will have a true family best friend.

Thanks for mentioning the Herm Sprenger brand. I’ve used HS for many years on both dogs and horses (bits) as they are more anatomically correct. The only suggestion I have is to not buy the prong collars with the clips as they can fail by pulling apart, or if the dog pushes the clip against something and releases it. That said, I do have a micro one with a clip I only use on small breed puppies in a controlled environment for convenience.

Very unfortunate how people treat their dogs. I've trained my dog since he was a puppy to know he'll get a treat every time I recall him.I seldom walk him on a leash so recall must be as close 100% as possible. Now at 5 years old, no matter what is going on around him, when I recall him he comes immediately and I still give him a treat every time. He is very food motivated. Very simple but it has served us well for 5 years. Since I got him conditioned he has never once failed to be recalled even if other dogs are around or no matter what distractions there may be.

I like this information... I have some "trainer" adjustments. My boy is old and he has lost his hearing. Hand signals are our new training. He is all about the snacks, so all is good... There is never a reason, to get mad at my best friend...

[@curlymaplebandit3107]

Have an 11 year old pit, deaf since birth. Has been the greatest experience. So much so that we now have a 14 week old dogo Argentino pup, deaf as well. Arthur my old boy remembers more sign than I do. If I’m aggravated, I do my best to exit the area and take a minute to put myself back in the correct mindset. Then re-engage. Never an “off leash” moment with deaf dogs. Sure makes the 4th of July a blast!

You can not punish dogs...you have to correct them. Love the advise in this vid cause it is the truth!

[@scotmetcalf2745]

So I absolutely love how calm and relaxed you are around your dogs and that doesn’t change when your training them. I’ve noticed I get super emotional around my dogs and they pickup on it. My kids have a pit mix which now he’s getting older we’re starting to think that he’s a mastiff mix maybe stronger on that side and he was left on the side of the road in a box when he was found as a puppy. Super energetic and whenever I’ve tried to walk him he literally drags me so my question is should we use a prong collar on him? I’m sure that’s a subjective question being we’ve never trained with one but he’s such a great dog that I’d love to get him outside and release a bunch of that energy and give him a purpose! Thanks for everything you do for us all!! Have a fantastic day

[@believerrrrr]

100% use prong collar. But use it correctly!

[@stephanlude3734]

With an Appenzeller Mountain Dog and a Dobermann we use that they have so much drive. So it's a mix of treats, a mini rope to pull and start of an emotional party because they came. It's a kind of jackpot to them. At least when you are on action it's a great method to be the most desirable for these dogs.

[@7USC7]

Love your content. I've owned 25 breeds....I've found the most amazing breed of all is the Vizsla. They are unique in so many ways. I'd urge u to own one. I'd love to see more Vizsla videos. So smart, funny and extremely athletic!!!

[@jjhites9855]

Hard to state it enough, the time frame dogs live in. Anthropomorphism as a pet owner novice/ hobby trainer is where i have failed most often even though i am very aware of it. Obviously as a pro trainer you’re well aware, and I am not trying to tell you anything about how to train. I am responding as a student of your channel. Your reminders like this video with a real scenario, and how you train-telling us as you go: for example, Agh i missed the mark that time ( 1 second window)- cant reward him there! Explaining what the dogs going through as you train-“ he’s not getting this , i need to back it up a bit then build from there”. Your teaching us and reinforcing the teaching via your training style is what I love about your channel. Side Note: i love the camera work- it doesn’t feel scripted, sure you want to teach or show a certain thing, but you take the training where it needs to go based on what your seeing from the dog, or what you feel “is the teachable moment”.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you again for the motivation and helping me steer the content in my channel. I just like to shoot the videos as raw as I can. Mistakes are made I don't care how long you've been doing it. I make mistakes every day and probably every training session. TIMING is EVERYTHING in dog training. The difference between a good dog trainer and a great dog trainer can be a difference of a half second here or a half second there. Good dog trainers react swiftly and accurately to the observed actions/behavior of the dog. Great dog trainers predict and are already prepared to react to what the dog is going to do before they even do it and sometimes before they're even thinking about doing it. Sometimes I know what the dog is going to do up to 30 seconds before they do it and can mark it a second or two before it happens. I'm working the current rep but thinking about 1-3 reps down the road and know based on what they did 3 reps ago what they will do on this next rep. It's a strange thing to explain and even harder to teach. Other times I'm caught completely off guard and unprepared to react appropriately (those instances suck). And yes, I come in with an idea of what I want to teach but often let the lesson shape itself. I tend to focus on what the dog is struggling with or take advantage of momentum in the lesson

[@alexandradittmann8588]

Thanks, Garret, another insightful video with beautiful Bentley. The Herm Sprenger prong collar has made training far easier for me, but, jeez, nothing was able to beat the e-collar... This commonly so misunderstood tool didn't just make recall reliable, which means the dog is enjoying a lot of fun time now off leash, running and playing in different environments - but e-collar training also changed the (adolescent) dog. Calmed her right down, once she had understood how it works, and that it's not a big deal - a pop just meaning "come back to me now", which she happily does, because that's where the praise, the treats and the ball-toy are located. I seriously feel for the owners who live in countries where these tools are banned.

The time the dog spends with you should be awesome and fun. It is should be the highlight of their day. We've all been there not knowing how to handle a situation where the dog's nature got the best of us. Know what to do and how to properly handle it is half the battle. What a great video!! Somewhere out there, a new owner has a larger breed for the first time and are still figuring the do's and don'ts. I had to learn the hard way with my doberman, but these videos have helped tramendously. All the other youtube videos with positive upity jumpy energy emotions were not working. Your training vids are to the most real and practical. My dog(s) respond very well right away now. I'm getting better all the time because of the content. Thank you.

I am so glad I found your educational videos! My Golden was sent for training from a highly recommended trainer and they used the prong collar…she was terrified of it. She immediately peed on the floor So we took it off and never put it back on. We had a very bad experience with this trainer, we tried to discuss it with them but they just stopped communication. We found other ways to train her but I will be using one on my doodle. Thanks again for explaining this in detail.

[@maureencallahan1604]

Prong collar was disaster with my dog also a "Pitbull". Whenever he'd go for something the prong collar would feel like something was biting him and he associated that with me and would turn and try to bite me. Got rid of the prong collar and everything's good now.

[@DeathsInverse]

[@HiroThatDude]

I am so thankful that I saw this video way before I got my Shiba Inu last year because this is a shiba thing too where if they’re having so much fun, distracted outside most likely they will not come when called at 100% rate. And the biggest lesson I learned before I even got a dog was that you can never correct a dog unless it’s at the moment and I learned this to a great extent even before I got my Shiba Eno and it has worked wonders because if you come home and see something wrong was done but don’t when it was done, you can’t do nothing about it. The dog won’t even know what they did wrong. So when your dog finally decides to come back to you just reward him to come back to you by petting him giving a treat or whatever. I’m truly thankful for this guy for his helpful videos.

[@vincef7487]

I wish I had this information YEARS AGO‼️ I learned the hard way not to give correction when my dog came back from being off-leash. Fortunately, he eventually forgave me. Now I know. …sub’d👍🏽

Thank you for the content. Curious what’s the typical training structure for most dogs for basic obedience on leash. How many weeks, is the dog being trained daily, what’s the duration of training sessions. I want to make sure I do right by the new dog I adopted. Unfortunately I don’t have the funds to seem him to a professional trainer at the moment. However I’m in the fitness industry so I understand how to make a program for humans to get said result… just not dogs. Thanks and take care

[@Nikkimommyof4]

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I tried for over a year to train my lab/ pit mix using the regular methods from our local MSPCA classes. Our puppy did well in most of them but... we quickly discovered that there were some lessons she was just stubborn about doing no matter how hard we tried to reinforce it. She would get distracted and using sweet words and treats were not going to get the job done. As she grew bigger and suddenly realized that she's more pitbull than lab we began to experience bigger problems with her behavior and it was like teaching her all over again. I had to buy the pronged collar and felt like such a failure when I did. I felt like there was something I just wasn't doing right and that I was resorting to hurting my dog to stop her from making bad choices that could potentially put herself or others in danger. I understand the reasoning behind why I bought the collar but the way you describe it and the methodology behind the way you should use it made me feel a ton better since I treat my dog like a princess. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for her. This was just one more thing I was doing for her to keep her safe and help her to make better choices. Thanks again. I just discovered your videos and I will definitely keep watching them.

[@tgd6895]

Great video, my dog is pretty well trained. Does tons of tricks and what not but recall is limited sometimes, distraction is still an issue at times and barking. Oh and off leash is iffy. I keep on a 30foot lead outside on the property (in a small town) with limited space. She does great, she knows to stay out of the road(if I throw an off the mark frisbee,she will not go catch it and leaves it) But when people and dogs come on or near the property she will still(sometimes) try to run to them. If I keep throwing the frisbee she will not go near them but I have to stay close and keep a toy in the air. Any suggestions on the latter at least.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Hi, well, the 30 foot lead is a good precaution, but for off-leash training her to 100% reliable recall under distraction, you might need e-collar training - either with a local trainer, or with our own complete (online) e-collar course "Unleashed!" on diyk9.com - which gives you access to our personal guidance in the comments section of the course.

[@poppajules]

My pitty is about 5 years old and has absolutely ZERO leash training. She pulls like crazy because she wants to run full bore everywhere and smell everything. She also has a propensity to get rough and tumble with other dogs her size, because she loves to play! We got a prong collar and within the first leash walk, she understood not to pull, she is getting better at leash pressure indicators, and she is a completely transformed dog. We were always unsure about the benefits and whether she would pay attention on it or if it would be a waste of money, but I am convinced all over again and will always be ready to use it on new dogs when the time comes. Thanks to your videos and positive reinforcement to us, as well, of course.

[@midxclappers4888]

Tools are great, any dog can be conditioned to them. I muzzle train and use a prong on my Doberman (7months). I refuse to have a large reactive dog, that’s pulling me down the street, having to avoid every person or dog I come across on walks. The more disciplined they are, the more freedom they will have, I’m willing to apply discomfort and punish my dog, when necessary. And simply praise them for doing as they are taught. If you want your dog constantly being exposed to a public setting, you have to be more strict. There’s many opportunities that can be dangerous. Your dog MUST obey you 100% of the time. What they can do at home on your property, may not be okay in public. And I feel this is only accomplished by Balanced training, with discipline, punishment, praise and leadership. 50/50. Do your research and you’re unlikely to fail.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

[@judgeleeder638]

I'm from The UK 🇬🇧, I've used many different collars and harnesses on my Chunky Boi, German Shepherd × Bernese Mountain Dog.(I use to do some dog training) I have been using a prong collar on him for around 4 months now. He reacts brilliantly with it now, I also use an e-collar on him as he would be off chasing whatever and come back in his own time no matter how much I shouted him. But I've always praised him for coming back as they live in the moment. (I tried it on myself first!) I took it slowly with the e collar for him to get use to wearing it, at first just that. I have now got to that level where he actually walks better off leash than on it! Good luck Pup 🐾🐶🐾. Thanks for you're content, have subscribed 😊

[@pedrogarcia7230]

I remember doing this when my dog was a puppy and I was frustrated he would run away from me and think it was a game and out of frustration I would correct him once he got back to me. I regretted it after because he would eventually come back but he would cower away and anticipate the correction after that I stoped being mad at him and reassured him that it’s ok to come back to me. Now his recall is great even without a e-collar.

[@granolaflossin191]

Thank you so much for this video. My dog experienced this with the e-collar before I got him. He was buzzed at 10 every couple of minutes for barking in a crate until he got quiet. I was told this took 20 or so minutes. This was their way of crate training him. The couple of times we’ve tried to put an e-collar on him, he fights and fights out of fear. I know I need to bring it back for him, but wasn’t sure how to start it.
