SPRINGER SPANIEL BAXTER, EXTREME LEAD PULLING, FIXED IN MINUTES

[@ceebee0766]

times this by 2 with my boys....makes me want to leave home...but we have realised a professional is needed to help...wish us luck!

[@clarebevan917]

I tried this with my 5 year old springer after about a week now more pulling and it's such a joy walking now

[@St3veWK]

Great video! I’ve been watching your stuff and using it to greatly help me with my 8 month old lab.... Walks are massively better now! I’m now in control of the walk, and she earns her sniff breaks, and she’s much happier :). Cheers, from Nova Scotia.....

[@judithmcleod1534]

Wow i'm shocked, we have re-homed a 14 month entire Springer, my partner prefers your lead and i did prefer a police training dog lead with a harness!!!! He pulls so much and makes it very difficult to walk for me and my partner to be fair, he was pulling exactly the same as Baxter on both leads, what i hated with the slip lead that you and my partner use was the heavy breathing it was awful to hear. I watched this video and what i noticed straight away was that you put the slip lead higher than the collar?? i didn't know if that was a mistake at first!! so i watched more of your videos and it clearly wasn't a mistake!!! you put the slip lead just below their ears!!!, i got my partner to watch as well and straight away, we went and tested it. FANTASTIC ........ 100% improvement straight away. i don't know if other dog owners have made the same mistake that we have? You will be making our walks so pleasurable now. All i need to do now is get him to give me eye contact as he is brilliant in the house but as soon as we go out he is in the zone, i don't think he was ever really walked or socialized that much, i shall look at your other videos to see if there is anything there to help. Thank you so much you are amazing!!!

[@regenindergosse]

Yep, you don't just pop on the neck, you control the head ^^

[@LadyYolk]

I love that you let them smell, I live in Canada and have been looking for a trainer for teaching my 75 pound lab to walk and they won't train so she has any freedom, they all say they can only train so she walks next to me, but I will try this method and hopefully not need a trainer.

you probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me!

[@matthiastyson6732]

@Kayden Korbin Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@matthiastyson6732]

@Kayden Korbin It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@kaydenkorbin225]

@Matthias Tyson no problem :)

[@izzymooney9456]

U just got a lead that makes it impossible to pull

[@mildredhighcock7333]

and it will learn not to pull because of it, so when the lead is changed down the line, no pulling

[@joshevans5795]

great informative video. I've tried the figure 8 lead with my 11 month old springer and it definitely helps, but he constantly tries to push the lead off of his face with his paw - any advice here?

[@RM-zf3kw]

These can create a lot of torque on the dogs head, leading to a lot of pain in their neck which can also cause damage. Their skin is a lot thinner than ours which means tissue damage can happen very easily. Just because a recue recommends this, doesn't mean it is good. The only way to teach a dog to walk on a loose lead is by lots of repetition using either a Y shaped harness or flat collar during training sessions, short lengths frequently until the new behaviour (walk on a nice loose lead) becomes engrained. There should be no quick fixes in dog training and equipment should never replace time and teaching a dog. These are aversive to the dog, that's why they work. An amazing, qualified Dog Trainer explained to me that the practice and repetition of teaching your dog loose lead with short lengths at first is to help them travel new neural pathways. The more those neural pathways are travelled, the wider they become so that the new behaviour (walking on a lovely loose lead) becomes engrained and the dog doesn't even have to think about it. It is how all mammals learn. However dogs can be very complex in how they learn and association and any pain or discomfort from a head collar (which is why they walk nicely on these things) can lead to negative associations with everything around them, even things that are not related, even the handler. Anyone who understands Canine Science would not recommend these. Invest in a qualified, force free Dog Trainer who can evidence their accredited qualifications, you won't regret it and your dog will thank you for it. It is well worth it.

[@mildredhighcock7333]

I disagree with everything you've said. I speak as I find.

[@suemyles2257]

Nonsense. Head collars do no more damage than any other piece of equipment when wrongly used. Did it ever occur to you that if head collars were so dangerous they would not be on the market? Too many lawsuits. Instead there are now a zillion styles.

[@dcorkhill07]

Quick question about the breaks- what’s best to do when your dog gets too excited when they’re allowed a break? Mine can walk nicely on the slip lead then gets a break and just wants to dart about to different sniffs and pull against the lead?

[@carlduffin]

I would have liked to have seen the owners take back over to see if the learning is in place with them as well and not just you as traininer.

[@zpr-si9pd]

Me too, looks like it’s hesistant cause the owners are walking behind.

[@grahamallen1970]

Walking with a stranger! Mum and dad's behind me what's going on? Not taking any thing away from the trainer! Ess can be very good actors. I have a 5month old terrorist that is going to need some outside help....brill off lead, comes back to whistle but every thing is bloody hard work, and she pulls like a shire horse.!

[@CoiledBooties]

@@grahamallen1970 eeek be careful letting a terrorist off it's lead 🤣

[@suemyles2257]

Yes. This is the failure of ALL KZbin and TV trainers. We do not see the owner with the dog nor do we see the dog three weeks after the miracle of the pro trainer

[@iangillen2841]

This worked with my 55kg presa canario cheers 🍻

[@coriebrady3713]

If u think this is extreme you haven’t met my reggie I’ve tried and tried and tried with him he doesn’t seem to understand any of it

[@toastmalone7957]

If you're going to buy a gundog and not train it to work, don't be surprised when it wants to follow it's natural instinct of hunting up and flushing. He's pulling because he's wanting to do what he's been bread for and his entire genetic make up is telling him to do, and without any formal training he hasn't a clue how to do that in an appropriate manner. Even if you don't shoot, it's massively beneficial to train a gundog as a gundog.

[@elfynjones2117]

yep and dont waste your money on a stupid harness which is what you put on animals too pull stuff ffs.

[@JudiStevens-p1o]

That is a great video. Our 4 month old Springer's nose never stops so at what age do you start doing this and with other training you suggest that they get the energy out of them before training which we do on a long lead?

[@ducatidad8231]

Was it just the F8 lead? Didn’t see anything else you did??

[@noelfrancis9258]

I've got a 8 year old sprollie , with a similar problem that i have never managed to correct , or if i do , it 's not for long. big problem for me is she feels she has to check all smells of animals and where they live , which i guess is a protective instinct , but i have noticed that she is much better behaved when someone else comes to pick her up for a walk and then she will continually look back to see if I I'm following and is submissive.

[@holygrail7856]

I have a springer..it doesn't work.. I'll keep trying. THANKS

[@clairesmith4575]

My springer spaniel is a crazy puller I’ve tried everything the headcollers she just constantly paws at her face to get it off I’m at my wits end with her HELP !!! 😫😫😫

[@Welsh35]

Snap

[@SiCrewe]

Wish I could have found a way to stop my Spaniel, Ollie, from pulling on the lead. We tried every kind of lead and harness and he'd obey every command while walking. It was just that, once he was actually moving, I think he wanted to make sure we got wherever we were going as quickly as possible. Ironically, the best way to get him to walk calmly was... to let him off the lead. He'd pull like crazy when we were walking on the pavement but then, as soon as we got away from the road, I'd let him off the lead and he'd happily walk along beside me. Dogs, eh? 😃

[@juliedavies1828]

Omg this is like my Loki he is a 6 month old springer he pulled me that hard my shoulder cracked 😪 I’ve tried no pull harness and lead and treats and still nothing fingers crossed we will get there

[@sweetlorraine6982]

How has the lead configuration changed, i think you said figure of eight, did you turn the lead into a halti., by fitting it over the muzzle you didn’t show that bit.

[@grahamfinlayson18]

Now do it without the Halti.

[@13patriciaanne]

My spaniel has a halti head collar and still pulls

[@rebeccaelisabethcockram3574]

My springer is worse than this 😔 i don't excite her before we go for a walk and she pulls to the point i have blisters on my hands 😔 any tips please? 😌

[@lousc2141]

We have the same problem. Its a cocker spaniel and a total nightmare to take him for a walk :(

[@farihaf3009]

Right so how do u do this with a dog who will yank backwards to get out the leash/collar and doesn't care about pressure will actually look like he is about to pass out.. Weighs about 40kg. Treats, affection and praise words don't work so.. He's 3 yrs old. Jumps up and down and will drag u. Very stubborn. Walked on a head harness now and he's still the same.

[@stevenedwards2162]

I know how you feel , I have a very head strong cocker spaniel she pulls on the leash no matter how I try to stop her , I have tried every dog trainers advice a thousand times and she still pulls like crazy. Like you said will pull backwards to break free off her harness or collar. 😭😭

[@farihaf3009]

@@stevenedwards2162 yes exactly! I had trainers too. One told me to stop walking as he pulled I was consistent it didn't work. Another said hold the leash tight and yank it when he pulls away again it doesn't work. It's so frustrating. U pay so much money on these trainers and it doesn't work. Still in the same place

[@stevenedwards2162]

@@farihaf3009 . I'm in the same place too , it's annoying and hard work to make them half listen , recall is another problem aswell , anyhow keep trying fingers crossed and hope they get better 🤞🤞👍

[@regenindergosse]

There's another method I can think of right now. (Search for "WDR Hunde verstehen", just copy it, on KZbin, it's german but you can see what he does) He takes control of his space and doesn't allow the dog to go past your side. A option you guys could maybe try if you want ^^

[@stevenedwards2162]

[@gordonbushby1753]

can someone tell me what this lead is called?

[@Cr33per13-]

on a loose leash at 6.10 (lead is short as and is in upright position) that is not loose leash.I can guarantee this guy would not train/controll my sprocker.

[@coriebrady3713]

My dogs probably to the same extreme but he’s only a Lakeland Terrier... I’ve tried a lot nothing working the eye of attention I’m 6’4 he’s about a foot high I’m struggling he wants everything every dog post men are his worst enemy but we got him at 2.5 his bad habits have just got worse

[@SandJAngling]

Wow I need that kinda help with my spaniel

[@ScratchyBaws]

NOT a great trainer as no trainer would at 4.20 walk straight onto a road whether it be a dead end cul-de-sac or a busy road with a dropped or raised curb. Rarely have i walked a dog i've owned on a lead in 50yrs but i always make them sit and wait at a curbside. If you're going to train or teach a dog then do it properly for the dogs sake.

[@kellyleeder7851]

Hes gone from a collar and lead to a figure of 8 lead . No training has happened here . Disappointing especially as the lead change was not shown in the clip

[@justkate4474]

Thank you! This really helped me and my springer, now i know how to properly start the walk hes so much better 😁

[@southenddogtraining1]

Crazy Douchebaggit that’s awesome, thanks for letting me know. ❤️

[@chrisquantrill1647]

Was that Halti used to help control the pulling?

[@julieannecharters6132]

no a slip lead configured in a figure of 8 over the nose,haltis are crap and pull towards the eye socket stay clear.this works on all spaniels as they hate the pressure on the nose when they try and pull.

[@lahannahlou]

such a good dog

[@nicholajackson276]

Typical spaniel. Figured of 8 works great but put him back on a normal lead and he will pull again.

[@JosephC2K11]

While u have him doing what you want teach him heel and when your consistent and the dog is consistently following heel put him back on normal lead but keep the figure 8 in your pocket he will Learn

[@suemyles2257]

So what? Perfectly respectable to use a Halti as the normal way of walking a dog

I dont know why people struggle so much with training a dog. Its not rocket science. So easy to do.

[@forbesdogtraining]

It’s simple but it’s not easy! 😂

[@surfboyswales5746]

It's a bit more complicated than that. Depends on behaviour issues, breed, experiences etc many dogs take a bit of time. The process is simple but getting the reward times perfect, cues, markers all is a skill. Also takes a well trained trainer or eye to diagnosis the behaviour reasons and make a modification plan.
