Stop Your Dog Pulling on Leash and Start Walking Together #53

[@robinban1875]

Susan is so fantastic she changed me from a “balance or nothing” school of thought to positive training and I’ve seen my dog blossom with her help and i haven’t even bought her course, just her KZbin videos and free materials make a world of difference. She’s a saint for not gatekeeping this life saving information.

[@DogsThat]

Thanks so much, Robin, your feedback is so valuable to us ❤️

[@notnotnever]

Congrats on you and your dog's success!

[@SSS-sd1cf]

I didn't believe this methond until I trained my dog with it and one day he came and sat beside me when I called him. I was like, wt@ is this coming from? It was one of the most fun moments I had with my dog. Love it!

[@MistyRoads]

A few months ago, a skinny, starving Australian Shepard showed up by our front steps. He responded to my voice and followed me up the steps and onto our porch. We have a wrap around porch with rails all the way around and a gate at each set of steps. I closed the gate once the dog was on the porch. From that moment on, he was mine. I bathed him, fed him, took him to the vet, got him through Parvo and now want him to be the best he can be. He has filled out a little and grown about 3 inches. He is approximately 10 months old. He has taken well to everything I have taught him thus far, except for walking out on leash. Oh my word, he is a major puller. I’m 70 so he can’t be pulling me. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your channel and this video in particular. Time for us to walk in loops. I will check out your training program and see if I can fit it into my budget. Thank you for these videos!

[@Texas240]

Glad to hear you rescued him. I just had a stray decide I was her help. So, watching the vids. I hope you and the dog are well!

[@melissaames5564]

My trainer in Taos NM is a Karen Pryor grad, and she suggested your videos for training our 2 sibling dogs. The male came to us at 8 weeks, and the sister spent 4 months (between 8 weeks and 6 months) in total isolation, shut off from human contact. Both are fear based dogs. We have made amazing progress with both, and your videos are helping move us forward. They are now 4 years old. It's been a long road, but we're crossover trainers and losing the only tools you know as training methods and replacing them with reward based training has required so much patience. I would never go back. Thanks for giving us a perspective of the dog's brain, and how they experience their training and their lives in our world!

[@DogsThat]

@melissaames5564 thank you so much for being here and for all you are doing for your dogs 💚 Sending your trainer a shout out as well!

My first encounter with chickens was having to take of them for someone on vacation. Out of the 8 chickens 1 was the hardest one to get back into the coop. I used bread to shape the behavior to return to the coop. In the end it was easy to get the girls back into the coop.

[@garilou2]

Works great! I love that you make no concessions because you might be teaching to beginners: you already ask for perfection. Right from the beginning

[@siduri03rob]

What a gift you are to the dogs and dog lovers of this world! Every time I watch one of your presentations that covers a behavior I'm having trouble with I'm reminded to slow down. Little steps very often gets you there. ❤❤❤ your work and your generosity is amazing. Thank you so much!

Hi, Dave here from New Zealand, just wanted to thank you for your videos I have a 11 week old German Shepherd and your videos are helping me immensely, so once again thank you very much. Kind regards Dave

[@DogsThat]

Dave, congratulations on your puppy, and thank you so much for tuning in!

[@suemyles2257]

I would so enjoy seeing a pet owner with their dog do these techniques

[@diintheuk4425]

Wow thanks Susan! This works! I started using this method with my 3 month old wild Vizsla pup 4 days ago. She didnt know how to sit next me, and she pulls like ceazy. But this method works! Day 1 she was sitting next to me, and D4 this morning we were able to walk my back garden next to each other for 3 minutes or so. I will come back in a months time to report back. Day7: My 3 month old puppy succeeded (for the first time ever) in relaxed leash walking next to me outside my house. We walked past about 5 houses & back...4 times. I can't believe this is happening after only 7 days. I wonder where we would be in a month's time. I can't wait....😊

[@DogsThat]

We're so glad this is helpful for you and your pup, keep up this great work and don't forget to report back. Excellent! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kirstycampbell2582]

Oh my god Susan Garrett THANK YOU! We've worked hard over the last week with these steps and perch work and already there is a HUGE difference in my puppy's loose lead work, engagement and recall. Our reinforcement zone has changed to by my side and she's not pulling. Thank you thank you thank you 🤗👏🐾🧡

I have a 9 y.o. Sheltie that walks on a loose leash and offleash as well. Lately I started fostering a 4 y.o. Beagle mix, and omigosh, what a puller! I have a month to get her walking without pulling and I am so glad to see this video. Training starts today!

[@sharonbroadway4054]

I wish I had found you eight months ago when I first brought home my unruly, untrained adolescent GS puppy as a first time dog owner! So grateful to find you now. For the past week, I've watched a few of your videos every day, and my brother remarked how much my puppy's behavior has improved in just a week (it's the Itsyerchoice ;-) I need to watch ALL of these videos, and can't wait for your special celebration next week. You are such a special person. Funny, generous, kind, and you sure know what you're doing. Your love of dogs and dog training shines so brightly. Sending you and your dogs a ton of love and gratitude!

Thank you Susan. I am going crazy with my little moodle who pulls. I have an illness in my spine, so that when she pulls, I am in pain. I am starting up with this tomorrow. She’s so good at lots of other things. But she’s growing up now and the pulling is getting worse. So I’m very excited. I’ll keep you posted.

[@truecynic1270]

Brilliant, Susan!!! Here I am, senior person, and I NEVER ever knew, thought or 'heard" of this. Obviously, YOU and YOUR techniques have been 'missing" from my "instructional" life. Currently I have a terrific 15 mon. GSD who in many ways is simply great but in a few ways is simply terrible, stress-inducing, "p*ss*ng me off at times and not as successful as I had dearly hoped. Excuses aside, my mistakes recognized with me responsible, I am DEEPLY appreciative of not only what you say but the psychological rationale behind your information and teaching. Thank you. Thank you. ( and now I understand exactly why the wonderful kennel who bred my, and others, excellently tempered GSD, follows YOU and YOUR teaching. ( and the credit for introducing "uneducated me" goes entirely to the kennel . (Pfederland Kennel, Ontario, Canada)

I wish I had this years ago when I had a GSP who loved to pull on his leash. Eventually, it got a little better, but he never really walked well on leash. Still loved him with all my heart.

[@Cncparkhomeservices]

Susan, you are brilliant, just keep flooding this subject, I cannot stand all the horrible techniques on KZbin that are used including e-collars, yanking the dog, slip leads, prong colllars etc etc, my clients often ask me and I just cannot stress enough to them that so much on KZbin is bad, I say do you think it's kind what you see, if you don't then it's not, if you ever have any more tips to tell clients on how to navigate KZbin then please let us know. I struggle with what to tell them sometimes!!!

I looooooooooove how you introduce all your topics, how you think about dog training, your sense of humour, and everything. It is such a relief to have found you just before I got my new puppy 😍 I wish I could be one of your students but it seems difficult as I leave in Switzerland. Well, maybe one day I will still follow your classes. I learn how to be shaped by dog and I can improve my English at the same time. Thank you for EVERYTHING !

Hard to remenber all this, I'm the one that needs training, more than the dog. You make it look easy

[@dortenielsen8253]

A Columbus 🥚 So very logical and simple 👍 When walking the dog I prefer to deliver the treat in the hight of the dogs snout to prevent the habit to bend his head backwards to look at me. Even a tiny little bit on the outside of the dogs head so he will walk with his head straight forward, not looking up or looking to the side, where I am.

[@kyliecarpenter4806]

KZbin knows I just went on a walk and needed to see this! I’ve tried several different ways of having my Border Aussie mix walk loose leash beside me. Treats don’t work long term and yo-yoing the leash hasn’t really done anything except for making him choke himself constantly and making me feel bad. Tonight I tried turning the opposite direction each time he pulled and walking a little distance before turning back around. It seemed to have worked well! I started adding a click click sound each time i turned around so he knew when I was turning and didn’t get yanked back. Once he realized what the click click meant, each time id do it he’d look at me and turn. Gonna add more of the tips in this video, but after a kinda bad day I’m excited to work on this!

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

Thank you Susan for this video. I'm going to try this on my dogs.

[@jimhepworth]

A real eye opener for loose leash training our 11 week old puppy. He likes tp walk but is very distracted. He's tolerating walking on the right, but this will definatly speed up the process for an enjoyable walk for all. Wish you were near us in London. Thanks.

We're glad you like them, thank you! 💕

[@jaimekern7519]

I like this mechanic but,I have finally have the 3 dogs on 3rd day of less pulling. I am challenged because I have 3 and I suppose I could try individually, I will try short seam touch sessions. I rather not exclude any of pack in session yet I understand the group distraction. For a milestone I had youngster attention at side and only praise it was great he really wanted that treat! And the pack did not go out of control because a very well trained dog behind! I am looking forward to tomorrow " seam touch" introduction. I believe that the older one will be introduced first to this new communication alone at home.

[@michelepoitras3183]

Thanks for these great tips. Can't wait to try them. I've been struggling with my dog pulling on leash for 4 years now. Looking forward to loose leash walks.

[@RayShaw007]

Really good advice, thank you for sharing. I'll be working on this with my mature dog and my puppy. Not that our walking is bad, more that it could be better. I like what i would call 'good walking'; a dog that is pulling is purgatory; it's very unpleasant, wearing on the arm and shoulder muscles and just a complete pain in the ass. I really enjoy a good walk with my dogs; it's a fun experience. I don't like to see people being walked by their dogs. I think the big difference between the old style training and yours is that the old is often a matter of discipline and correction whereas you work towards getting the dog to wanna walk by your side - like it's great space/place to be.

Thank you Ray, and happy training!

I have a 2 year old German shepherd-lab mix. He is a terrible puller whom I can't really walk on a collar or even harness because when he gets focused on something there is no stopping him (he's highly reactive and his first "dog trainer" made bad advice to us so it became even worse). I have tried many approaches but this is new! I'm going to give it a try!

[@ellenkingrice3997]

We’re in the Recallers program right now - I wish I had seen this podcast episode when we were introduced to Game Day 5. This podcast gives a LOT more of the beginner’s sequence. Thank you for all this content - it’s amazing - but sometimes I’m not starting at the right place.

Can the "sit" in this exercise be replaced with a "there" cue? We do freestyle and we can't have a default sit. So I want to know if when he comes into position on the left or right side I can tell him to remain standing "there" instead of "sit" until I walk forward or in a loop. We use the cue "there" when the dog is backing up to a particular location in the ring or at the point when we want him to stop moving in a particular direction. Thank you for all you do to help dogs and their people understand each other!

[@Go-zi1py]

I grew up on a farm and our dogs were incredibly well trained without the use of food! Praise and correction worked perfectly.

We have no garden and here there are not so many secure area (I mean very far away from streets) where I can take my puppy without a leash but I would love to take him/her through the field and by the lake too. I can I do it without stressing him/her as it would be early to ask him/her to walk on a loose leash. Perhalps could I use a long one? Hope you can see my comment and give me a suggestion. Thank you again for your work. Hugs from Italy ❤️

[@mollysmoney]

Thank you so much for this! is the idea to extend this kind of walking from two straight steps into 3, 4, 5 steps and beyond up until lets say a 30 min walk? or is it a completely different skill to walk "freely" but close to you without any pulling?

This was great. I listened to the podcast and then watched here to get a visual. While listening to the podcast, I assumed you were speaking in reference to the dog being on the left hand side (when you were talking about taking the treat from your right hand across), but i wanted to watch to make sure I understood correctly. Also, when you mentioned touching your seam, I assumed you meant further down on the leg versus closer to your hip and the video made it so much clearer. Just wanted to mention that because I know trying to describe things in a podcast vs video format is tricky. I’m the kind of person who needs a really clear explanation to get it right. :) I’m loving your podcasts. These are excellent! And it is so great to listen while I am driving or out for a walk.

Thanks Susan!!! This is a good winter project. We have been trying all kinds of things for years. We are currently in Recallers and loving it!!! Highly recommend Recallers to all. We still haven't mastered walking on a leash in the neighborhood. It is quite a challenge for my patience. I have been doing the stop, it is slow and not real fun. From your podcast, it is negative reinforcement which I don't want. We will try this.

Update; we did two five minute practices in doors. We had nice enough weather for outdoor walks and have done them 5 times since my original post.

We have plenty of other things we can work on for the winter.

[@tracymateus2102]

@@nightmateus1014 I do allow Night to sniff in certain areas, to go to the bathroom or just sniff. He either asks by looking at me or I just reward his good behavior. This is not competition obedience, just a walk where he is always beside or behind me unless I have told him it is okay to go potty or sniff around.

I'm 65 & we have tried training with just learning through videos, but most don't really teach so se understanding. Professional training is so expensive for us. He's extremely smart. He loves a job. He wants to eat his food either from his snuffle mat or his kong. He knows a few tricks & lets us know to go out, but he still drags me all over our yard. I'm starting this training asap. Can you tell me what good treats you use. It's so funny, when he goes out & he knows he was good he goes to the treat bag area to show us he knows he was good. So stinking smart. Blessings to you.

Hello Ms Garrett! You said something about the dogs hips being in alignment with our own. Should our hips be aligned with each others OR should their shoulders be aligned with our hips?

Makes great sense - I'm going to try this today! We have a Border Terrier (so obviously smaller).

Susan, your content is amazing. As another dog training content creator here on KZbin I really appreciate all the amazing content you put out for all of us and for free.
