Watch a leash reactivity session//no treats or shocks!

Solve leash reactivity with the stop and correct method -I'll show you how

[@KM-us1nc]

I did this last night for 10 minutes. My dog is very much not interested in walking WITH me. We walked around the yard with absolutely no practice, the very first correction she turned and looked right at me, and walked up to me. We went on a walk today and it was much more difficult, but I'd say 75% of the time she was walking WITH me. It was absolutely amazing. A friend of mine told me that meal time is the best time for training. My dog isn't very food motivated normally, but when she hasn't had breakfast/dinner? She's all about food and learning.

[@TheDose305]

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

[@isabellamaya2412]

I just wanna say I just started this method for my 10 month old Aussie. It has worked wonder with the “pop” method. It’s funny she now listens to her name when I call before I pop. Before she acted like she didn’t know her name. Even with today she was jumping at a dog but not lunging and barking and growling I had her in better control. For anyone who thinks this is “mean” I know it seems like a lot but I promise it’s not. Everytime I’ve popped the leash each time my dog looks at me like “whoa” just like he said. Since she’s a herding dog you have to be more strict with any working dog. But they like that. They want to know they can depend on you and look up to you. You are their pack leader. Instead of biting and growling and snapping you are giving a correction to know what’s right from wrong. I’m praying she will be able to travel with me as I had lord of plans for our future. I’d hope to take her on trails and hikes and to dog parks eventually and to play in the snow in Colorado. If someone’s going to say that’s cruel. I’m sure those are the same people who’s dogs grew up just walking the backyard or neighborhood. I want to show my dog the world. And experience it together. 💕 this method makes all the difference. Thank you!

[@natureloversadventures7335]

I wanted to show my dog the world too. After 3 months of travelling my corgi got attacked by a pit bull at the hotel, he got out of next door room. 2 surgeries so far. No more travelling, hope my corgi lives. Done and done. World is evil out there. I want to go hide somewhere.

[@marilyncalvert4143]

I had five chihuahuas at one time and have two left both are well trained and mind really well. My female follows me and really doesn’t need a leash in the yard the older one is 15 and he just stays close by and will tell you when his water dish needs water. He follows you and once he gets his water it’s off to his covered pen to lay down. The female will go on the bed or follow me and if I tap on the bed she goes up the steps then gets under the blanket and lays down. Both are puppy pad trained since 10 days old.

[@winnieleung-mccrea9512]

I have a tiny Pomeranian. I walk him with a harness because a collar might cause issues with his trachea. But at the same time, a harness doesn’t create enough pressure to be as effective as correcting the behavior with a collar. Anyone with small dogs have luck training with a harness?

She wants to meet every dog she sees as far as I know of. She wines lol but yeah I be planning on doing different trainings on her.

[@SomeMinorDogTraining]

@@AlexandriaPetersen-xm9yr One thing you can try is to use her daily food as treats, instead of feeding from a bowl or using treats. This way she'll be hungry and motivated to work. Another thing you can do is practice what I call Existence Socialization. It's just the idea of teaching the dog that they don't have to interact with every dog and person they see. This video goes over the steps to practice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpKvdq2Zmbh_aJo

[@meganm4350]

I love this guy and I love this channel. I only got so far with leash reactivity using his methods though. My dog has intense leash reactivity when she sees other dogs. This method helped me to train her not to pull on the lead, but I've learned to mark the reactive behaviour and treat her when she stops it. I know he's all about not treating them constantly, but now when she sees another dog she registers it then sits and stares at me, waiting for her treat. Game changer. Just throwing that out there. I went through a lot of strife with this dog, toyed with returning her to the shelter, if I have to shove a treat into her face a couple times each day when we walk then worth it.

[@dangernoodle4757]

My dog was extremely car reactive and I don’t have a sidewalk to walk on around roads that are 50-60 mph, making this training method impossible. I ended up putting a treat in front of his nose to make him work to get it whenever a car drove by, eventually he started looking at me whenever a car drives by and now he doesn’t react to them at all, except for moving away if they are close. Better than trying to eat them at least.

[@meganm4350]

@@heisenberg2966 I have a dehydrator, I make my own. In the year since I wrote this comment, my dog's behavior has improved so much that I hardly ever even use treats anymore. She sees a dog on the other side of the road and she acknowledges it then returns quickly to my side because her brain now says: See dog -> go to owner -> get good thing. The good thing is now just a pat on the head and a kind word. She's a lot calmer and so am I.

Instead of aggressively lunging towards them, she gets excited to see them and returns to me. It's beautiful to see.

I appreciate learning how to train the dogs without treats; and I appreciated the side tip of not letting your dog rush out of the door in front of you. I learned that from a trainer many years ago, and have never had a leash-reactive dog since; but I didn't know the connection between the two before. You are great!! Thank you!!

[@christy5604]

As a dog trainer...treats are necessary. The reason people have an issue with the treats is because they never learn to space the treats out until they're completely off the treats. How would you like someone perking you around by their neck? This should be done with a no pull harness not a collar.

[@e.thereal]

@@christy5604 well power of treats are undermined in our household, people "bought love" more then used it for training and now doggos belly sensitive due "human food intake" and lord knows what eating outside. He's also now scheduled for being put down, I don't think I will ever forgive some members of my family for not being able to unite in how to take care of the dog. I even wanted to seek out family therapy but no according to them it's all my fault he is reactive and untrustworthy, according to "experts" he is genetically prone unstable and should be put down. The experts don't know his situation at home and family blames me only because I objected to loads of things and people here cannot take criticism so they start yelling almost physical fighting. Poor puppy in the midst of all arguing, anyways watching this pup grow up here made me realise why I have my own mental troubles and I will never trust my so called blood family again. Don't know if I can forgive my parent either for lying so much about most things. Nor can I forgive the kennel that (heard this later) promised only to sell the litters to work as service dogs (at least that what the x police woman said), not regular families. Turns out his dad was even almost too much for the police trainer that had him but she still let him mate and made no paper agreement on that part. I'm trying to tell my family he still has a chance of becoming a more calm dog but no, always doom doom doom. Also the most authorical persons could never stand if me and my brother got too good connection with the dog, somehow they always managed to undermine that. Please pray for us and a happy ending where he makes it, even though it seems impossible right now. He is a good boy, best there is. Wish they could put me down with him, cannot imagine waking up with him not being there.

100% true. I disappear when my dogs sees another dog. No matter how many treats I offer. Sometimes she’ll sit and take the treats but never ever even looks at me. She just stares down at the other dogs.

Man, I disappear the second my dog realizes we're leaving my property. I've had dogs all my life and 3 Dobermans previous to this one and she is giving me the biggest run for my money I've ever had. She makes me look like a new dog owner. I know I shouldn't care about what others think but it does get embarrassing reacting to a car, bike or going bananas when we get within 10 feet of another dog. The thing is she's walked by about 150 cars and prob 70 bikes and hasn't gotten better in the least. When she's in that state she doesn't care about leash corrections or listening to me.

He's better, he used to see dogs a mile away and go crazy now if they are right next to each other he usually waits for the other dog to react first 🤷 it's a long road. Been at it for a year ever since i started watching your videos. I got him to sit and lay down for a dog that always comes running up to the fence (which he doesn't like) which was huge for him, as soon as he stopped reacting the dog went back inside.

[@theaverageguitaristexperim2820]

Thank you good sir. I have been watching several videos on KZbin on how to walk a dog on a leash but all of them you had to encourage and give lots of treats.

[@Lonsoleil]

This method didn't work for my 120-pound Great Pyrenees. This breed is notoriously stubborn. When she's barking and lunging on a leash, she is fixed on "protecting" me and there's nothing I found that can distract her or get her to stop other than being physically pulled back. I'm more than strong enough to handle her, but the situation really becomes a problem when she's scaring the crap out of everyone and their dogs who walk by us. I guess I'll have to find and try out yet another method. 😩

[@msblueshines1910]

Man this dog is still better than mine. He would be barking the whole time.

[@cannoli_bear]

Does this work for fear reactivity? My Corgi (and I) were chased down/attacked by loose dogs many times when I lived up in AK. Now he freaks out everytime he sees a dog while on leash. I'm never upset with him, but I'd love to help ease that fear/anxiety when he sees other dogs while leashed.

[@kadenceporter9001]

Check out "engage/disengage" method if you haven't tried it already. It'll take much more time than this guy's method but it'll desensitize and counter-condition (change the emotional response) your pup, which is what fear/anxiety based behaviors need in order to truly change them. The "freaking out" is only a symptom. The problem is his fear and anxiety. The cause is his negative encounters with loose dogs. I like to use that formula to help figure out dog training/behavior issues. Hope that helps :)

[@isabellevasquez7433]

I’d counter condition. I’ve found that corrections can be far more harmful than helpful in fearful dogs. When they’re overstimulated all they know is that they’re scared and aversive stimuli just makes their anxiety worse. This channel I’ve seen is a very human centric approach to training- what’s the most convenient and quick thing for me? It’s not about you. It’s about your dog that you love and changing their conditioned emotional response, not just their behavior.

But kept digging because this type of treatment doesn't work, Meh is my current response to this, he has some good points around doorways and thresholds if only he could deliver the message without all of the chest thumping, but I'm guessing that's his appeal to dudes looking for an answer... in general you're not going to get what you want working a dog like this - I'm down with balanced training, meaning I'm not at all in the all positive reinforcement camp...but at some point if you want a happy dog you have to ask what's fair to the dog? ... Jerking the dogs head off? There's just no thought put into this method, it's quite crude.

I stabbed the pit bull with my pocket knife. Not sure what helped but the pit bull finally let go and my corgi run away into the darkness. We had 2 surgeries so far. It happened about 2 weeks ago. He always had reactivity, growling toward dogs when on walks. I cannot get him stop it. It is because he was always scared. Now, what do I do after this attack? He is mortified now. And me too.

The door bell is easy, have someone stand at your door and ring the bell so you don't have the chaos of needing to go open that door quickly, let him calm down, put him in a sit stay and let the door bell ring again until your dog is not interested in that bell anymore. You'll have to repeat this alot of times but it's definitely worth it! As for the harness, it's comfortable to pull in a harness, that's not the case with a collar, if you don't want to tug the leash, stop and make your dog sit everytime he pulls

Sorry, but try doing this demo with my dog. You wouldn't make it one second once he saw that other dog. A command and a correction does not work. You're saying this dog is highly reactive, but what do you consider highly reactive? All I heard this dog do was some whining. My dog would be barking his head off like mad, jumping, twisting his body, going insane. And I have never found a way to train it out of him. He is not aggressive to other dogs either. He just gets so highly over stimulated by other dogs that nothing else will hold his attention. We have actually considered bringing him to a feisty fido session since we live in san diego, but I almost feel like you make it look too simple in these videos. I have a friend with an aussie mix with a very similar reactivity issue who has spent 18+ months working privately with a trainer and is finally seeing meaningful results. What does a realistic timeline look like for correcting serious leash reactivity?

All I can assume is that it's just gonna take more and more and more and more practice. He's been allowed to pull on leash for too long and I've just said NO more.

He just go into it going crazy.. fighting with this behavior in half year.. now my dog is well educated doing good heel, sit, lay even under high distraction. But dog reactivity still there.. and it drive me nuts

I didn’t n my t believe in yanking on a leash. A gentle name call and slight tug gets a dog’s attention. This neighbors 12 year old is yanking the hell out of the leash and she’s showing poor control with the dog. The mother refuses to take the dog for socializing and training. They can buy a new car but would rather have fines for animal abuse. The way this girl is yankng on the leash really disturbs me. I got her on video pulling in the leash and hanging the dog by the collar off the ground. Animal control has yet to remove this dog from the family and it’s still going on. Then she got the fog where it can’t be video tapes and no telling what she was doing to the dog but she was angry at the dog then opened her apt door and a shortly after the dog was yipping. I think animal control made a bad move by not removing the fog or requiring them to take it to be trained.

Thank you so much for posting this!

Hello from Korea:) what do you do when they get more aroused with a leash pop (correction). I'm traing my beagle on a flat collar but my trainer suggested a choke chain. I have tried using slip leash but when he loses it he does not care that he is choking. Do you recommend a prong collar or a gentle leader to snap him out of loading when he sees another dog. By the way my beagle is really good off leash and doesn't react if he gets to sniff the other dog.

I highly recommend a GL, if nothing else it changes up the stimulus.

[@kensmusing]

These training videos are so frustrating because they show the most behaved dog doing a training session, when in real life our dogs are absolutely nuts. This isn’t super helpful.

[@cdboyce17]

That’s not a very reactive dog..if she was or used to be we didn’t see it and how to handle it. Also it literally says “no treats” in the title..

[@hilja33]

Best dog training channel and I’ve watched so many different ones. Real life stuff.

[@Bazinga546]

I wouldn't call this a leash reactive video...that dog was well behaved before the video. But appreciate the teaching practice

[@ioidt]

Would you recommend leash brand/size for a 20 lbs dog. Thanks!

[@goo5976]

Hiked a few miles with my dog off leash and he wasn’t as reactive as I thought

[@user-ie6jr4bg1w]

The weird thing is, my dog does listen, she will lunge and bark hut she will stop when i say so. I don’t understand how i can prevent her from doing it at all, at times she actually does ignore other dogs

[@MrTomRcMan]

Okay but the issue im having with your videos is clearly you're using dogs already trained and who are not dog aggressive and doesn't listen one bit the second they see another dog no matter what like my dog does so maybe make a video with a dog whos extremely aggressive so maybe i can learn from that video.

[@hatchetkween80]

No no no you gotta back up a few steps....when he stops the dog actually looks up at him thats soo important when it comes to training and my pup won't acknowledge me at all

[@Thundersnowy]

Wow. If that's a super reactive dog then my dog is mountain lion..

[@MeekieMeekins]

What if your 7 lb. dog goes bat shit crazy and goes more wild if you correct them?! 🤪

[@OblioandArrowInc]

Except that dog is not reactive my puppy makes her look like a good walker and he is only 14 weeks

[@patsyhay9592]

This dog is fine it just wants to play my dog is aggressive this video is not for me she wants at every dog especially if they start the barking aggression. Also has bite history to people I really need a trainer that can handle her

[@katelynguihot7784]

This is not a good example for a reactive dog. My dog legitimately goes off his head and looses his mind. Train that???

[@Joey-vy1iu]

Can you please make a similar video for dogs that lie down during walks upon seeing other dogs?

[@Arose444]

My dog does carrousel circles around me when he sees another dog. Or just gets sudden burst of energy if it’s just both of us. I hate it.

[@angelawills4814]

Hi I wonder if you could tell me what videos to watch in the lead up to this, as you say at the beginning of this one. I really want to get it right.

[@luxor106]

OMG I used this technique on my dog. He has the same reactivity issue. The world of difference on the initial walk. He is not perfect but he is aware things are changing. I cannot thank you enough!!!

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Try that with my little spaniel and he'd drag you across the road small or not ! Nothing works with him. He won't wear the gentle leader either. Pulls like a train on all walks despite perfect house behaviour. Tried all the tricks in the book.

[@lillexxndDaHellHounds]

My dog attacks the leash

[@PhoenixC-le7zt]

You can actually use this to HELP your dog's reactivity! When I play with the leash with my dog, he feels way more excited to be playing a fun game than to bark at some dog in the distance!

[@nicolehart3955]

This dog doesn't really have leash reactivity. This is really well behaved.

[@Hellfireworship]

My bulldog has bad leash reactivity, even with corrects, she’s just set on that other dog
