AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD TRAINING! How to Train Your Australian Shepherd To Walk To Heel!

[@VioletFlores-fv7un]

Your passion for what you do is truly inspiring.

[@veganwaffle]

I like the info but I would’ve love to see it in action so I know that I’m doing it correctly

[@veganwaffle]

But I love your videos I dont want it to seem like I’m being a dick!

[@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco]

Same!

[@AlexandraG_]

I have aussies as well! Love them. Is your pup extremely intelligent as well?

[@Birdhouseboi810]

As long as the result is what you want. It’s not wrong. As long as it’s not beating the dog.

My new Aussie cross border is 13 weeks old. She sits down heels on left and right like I am I’m amazed but I’ve been doing basically what you have been doing or or explaining and I’ve also been training her to do centre in between my legs. I can’t believe how smart! A puppy puzzle four minutes not even she had it opens in her belly! I am truly blessed, but I really appreciate your videos. I want your teaching 🐾🐾🐾🐶

[@sillyygirl]

Will, the work you've put into helping us take care of our dogs means a whole to me. Thank you so much, I'm so glad I found this channel. My aussie will be here in 8 weeks and in the meantime, your show is going to help me become a great leader for my aussie Io, thank you!!

[@johncherry1870]

I am picking up a 10 month old mini Aussie this weekend and will be following your guidance. Thank you

[@davelord8039]

Would be nice if you got a 8 week old pup and video all the steps in order .first day , House training ,sit ,stay, stop biting if required of course. Etc. Maybe go allthe way to advanced training with a vid for each subject. I would love it.

[@SquerGG]

My first dog and I couldn’t be happier. Got him almost 2 months ago. Potty trained in just over a week and has a lot.... A LOT of energy. We go on plenty of hikes and I do a lot of off leash walks. I got him used to being off the leash right when I got him. As for leash walking... it was quite horrible. Was pulling non stop, and kept on barking at other dogs and people. The pulling turned to choking and I couldn’t take it so I made the decision to get a print collar. Boy was it a game changer. 30 seconds into his first walk with it, he realized the pulling was not okay! Thanks for the videos. I always watch you and Corey for guidance

[@adalgross]

Print collar?

[@connerhansen6221]

@@adalgross probably means prong collar. I use them on my dogs and they work great!!

[@hannahu8951]

I wish I would've taken my Aussie on more training walks when she was younger. She use to be so calm and quiet on walks but shes had a HUGE personality change and now she is aggressive towards strangers, super reactive, and very vocal.

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Thanks for watching, it's not too late to do training with her. It might take some more time or you might need some extra help from a professional trainer

[@hannahu8951]

@@willathertonaustralianshep8549 Thank you for the advice! We try to take her on training walks as often as we can (kinda hard because of the weather).

[@bee030888]

yeah she stays on a loose lead, but is constantly jumping in front of me wanting to play, she's 11 weeks old. Just got her a few days ago. Awesome video, thank you.

[@jaybryant4037]

I love your love of dogs and spot on with training

[@kellycatanho6202]

Thank you for your guidance.

[@AlexandraG_]

I have two beautiful, lovely Australian Shepard. One is two and a half, and I have a pup thats 3 months! I love them as my children and I want to train their behavior now before she (Marley 3 months.) gets to old. They are both the most intelligent, smart, strong personality, sweet well behaved babies, I want to do their intelligence justice and hone their natural skills as aussies, thank you so much for your help, information, and comfort in my confidence training my babies. I needed to find this video to inspire me to properly help my babies achieve their full potential, because they are absolutely genius and deserve me to continue to encourage their special skills.

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Thanks for watching! It's sounds like you have 2 beautiful dogs, hope training goes well with your latest addition!

[@AlexandraG_]

Thank you for this. Truly helpful.

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

You're so welcome!

[@aliciakurtz4858]

Your info is great. I do wish you would show videos of you actually doing this with the puppy. Visual would be very helpful!! I like your info but then I have to look elsewhere for visual then it gets confusing.

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Thanks for watching! We've actually got a dedicated truing channel full of practical demonstrations, here's one looking at heel walking you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJu2aJKtr6tmjKM

[@michaelriley1]

What do you do for heartworm for an Aussie Shepard puppy? I’m so confused over the situation. What product of heartworm and flea protection. Help!

[@NovaandthePastapup]

I love your videos you are a fantastic trainer! I adopted a 10 month old standard aussie and it has not been what I expected im some ways. We did professional training but she unfortunately is so stubborn and independent that praise means very little to her, she finds no value in listening to me. Its so hard to train her because she does not care it seems :/ never giving up though, I love her.

[@MJS541]

I'm going thru that with my Ausie. She's so protective/defensive almost all the time, especially if kids she doesn't know are around, or someone on a bike, skateboard, etc. (anything with wheels, aside from cars, thankfully). My ex wouldn't let me get a slip lead because she thought it was cruel, even though I showed her every dog trainer uses them. I just ordered one, and hope that will assist me in training her. Like with yours, she is very stubborn, seems to think she's the leader, and will not listen if she's excited about something else. It's embarrassing, and I worry she may hurt someone and have something bad happen to her. I would love to get professional training help, but I can't afford to pay for one. I am very thankful for these KZbin trainers.

[@patersonjess]

So helpful! cheers mate.

[@ridemx323]

Appreciate the information. A lot of training videos on KZbin are out of date or don’t go into detail.

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Glad to help!

[@DrewGarage]

Thank you!

[@magusmelanie828]

As a dog owner my whole life, we had an aussie previously, one of the best pups we ever had - currently have a German Sheppard about 7yr old... I'm so damn close

[@uriahpagan4256]

Thank you so much for this information!

[@samantharenaud370]

Will this still work if I have a 10 month old that’s kind of an issue on a leash?

[@hmellas9948]

I need this...My Rusty wants to drag me down the street. XD

[@grahamalanhancock5597]

Would've loved some visuals in a youtube video.. lol

[@rachealcooper917]

Thank you for the info! I put my pup on a lead from the beginning so I could control her environment constantly in the beginning and not allow her free run of my house. Unfortunately, I just kinda let her do whatever she wanted and it made her a horrible leash walker outside. I’m working hard and consistently to fix this, this info is SUPER helpful, and the harness called a “gentle leader” has also been EXCELLENT dealing with a puppy that kinda just doesn’t care and who’s also developed a little reactivity towards dogs while on lead. I highly recommend it in combination with these suggestions for “older” puppies.

[@kc-n-sassy]

my standard size aussie is a dream to walk very easy dog to train etc... my mutt is 95% a dream and 5% crazy... mini aussie (mini american shepard) hasn't really been walking too much without shots being complete.

[@zergnub7426]

Can I ask - how often do you train your puppy to walk to heel? Can I do it in my garden with him? An hour a day?

[@mattmejia8191]

Off topic , but does anyone have any recommendations on puppy food for an 8 week old? I found taste of the wild “high prairie”.

[@brandontussing1279]

I may get flack some may disagree but I use Iams I've always grown very healthy good looking dogs with this food. I believe it's just as good as the higher priced food. Good solid less Stinky poo.

[@brandedbylife5563]

Is there a specific purpose for heeling on the left? Would the right side be as efficient?

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Thanks for watching! Walking on the left is traditional for competing but it's totally up to you if you'd like your dog on your left or right, the key is consistency though!

[@briannewilliams2148]

how do you get the dog to look up for guidance? do you give the meat a bit above his nose so he looks up?

[@lynnjaxful]

Do you sell merch?

[@IndigoGoddess1111]

We just rescued our 8month old Australian shepherd a month ago from someone that had neglected her and eventually abondoned her. He got her from a shelter that saved her life. She has zero training. Do you think we will have trouble training her on our own or should we seek a professional trainer?

[@jordanwilliams3816]

Second that motion

[@theresejohnson3196]

What do I do if my dog is not into treats and not food motivated to reward?

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Thanks for watching Therese, another reward you can try is either a toy they love or giving them loads of praise

[@lindaweaver5212]

I’m so glad my Aussie doesn’t do that. And we got him at a year old. Teaching him to be my service dog. Excellent breed for that. Awesome dogs.

[@abbiemontgomery5404]

That’s what we are aiming for here but everything just suddenly started to go down hill, from slightly pulling not wanting to listen to commands anymore, definitely being stubborn now too.

[@randystyborski5983]

Any chance of you showing us how this is done?

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Check out our dedicated training channel full of live demonstration videos, here's one about how to teach your dog heel kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJu2aJKtr6tmjKM

[@tea.and.bookies]

This is great but mine doesn’t even walk 😬 he’s 12.5 weeks and just sits when I try to get him to walk with me. He’s good with wearing a harness. But the second I get the leash on, he sits. Or lays down. Lol

[@nanditoscalata7163]

I just got my Aussie puppy dino! Learning a lot through your channel 😊

[@ryandunn1528]

Yea like a lot of people are saying, your channel would be a lot better with you showing your dogs and showing examples of the training

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Thanks for watching! We actually have a dedicated training channel full of live demonstrations. Here's one of our videos looking at how to train your puppy to walk to heel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3OnhKmsesicbdk

[@nzigurung5539]

Can I do same with 10 week aussie puppy? Can I give him chicken as treat?

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Of course! We'd recommend starting training as soon as possible and doing it in short bursts and making the time longer and adding more distractions in as you continue training. It's because to use whatever treat will help motivate your pup!

[@RKCjsstevens]

Starts at 2:48

[@cannerainer]

I have an Aussie that is absolutely the best. She's polite, sits beautifully, walks on a leash beautifully, the best personality, so gentle, but I can't get her to play with toys with me. I want to teach her to "fetch" and "drop it" like I have my other dogs but I can't get her to put a toy in her mouth long enough to teach her anything and if I throw a ball or toy she just looks as though she's in trouble. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. The breeder was a good friend. She has never been abused and I've always used positive reinforcement. Any suggestions? I'm stumped.

[@ruthgilbo889]

Why LEFT hand side/????

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

Hey Ruth, it's traditional for competing it's totally up to you which side you train we just recommend you stay consistent!

[@CurruptCookies]

My little baby of 15 weeks tries to herd me when we walk 😂 he potty trained beautifully. He is not pulling he’s to busy trying to watch me then focus on walking

[@shane-oshaunason7590]

Is this method universal for all dogs?

[@willathertonaustralianshep8549]

It's tailored to the Australian Shepherd but much of it is transferable

[@kumargaurav2612]

Sorry buddy u are teaching swimming without the pool. I would request u too actually show how u do it. That's the better way. Please perform with the dog. For our help

[@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco]

Same!

[@SphinxDrummond]

I’m left handed and it feels more natural for me to have my dog on my right side.

[@Kenneth_Fishing]

My puppy gets really scared by other bigger dogs when we’re walking

[@bradenfredrick2720]

Can you show a video?? So I can see this in action

[@selene9906]

My dog is a Australian shepherd and he needs to learn how to walk in the park and he braks at people

[@dui1318]

Do you actually train dogs or just talk about it?

Can u just get to the point it’s taking you a year and a half to just for you to get to it I’m literally standing here waiting to actually tell me something important

A lot of talking not a lot of showing I hope you guys change this at some point
