I have been watching this video on repeat. There are so many subtlies in dog training which i love.. Working on this and maybe, just maybe, Ned and I will get past level 3 withiout him being a zamboni cleaning up the floor.

[@hilarywilson1541]

Great video! I love watching regular owners learn even more than watching a professional showing perfect performance. Makes me think I can do it too!

Must be nice to have a dog that is food/treat motivated!

[@HazeyEy3s]

oh absolutely but you can also train them to value something more than they do! i trained mine to be food motivated because training with toys was a bit too hard for me.

[@winterblossom4446]

@@HazeyEy3s Can u help me? My dog acts aggressive towards people when it seems inappropriate. Like in the house, between family members. He mostly seems to protect me, so whenever anyone in the family is talking to me? He stands between us and barks loudly. But he also protects my teen daughter. If I'm standing near her or talking to her, he takes the protective stance in front of her (and interrupts with intermittent loud barks) So here's my question, is there something safe and natural that I can give my dog to make him more calm? Alleviate anxiety and make him more relaxed? He is extremely large and tall (120 lbs) German Shepard/Mastiff. I'm a very small female only 125 lbs. I cant control him at all on a leash. Even when a man is walking him? its an intense struggle to keep him from pursuing other dogs and people that he sees. Its seems like he just wants to play with other dogs (but im not 100% sure he won't fight if provoked) and he shows real growling and aggression towards people. I had to heavily sedate and muzzle him just to get him to walk into the vets office for his neutering at 18 months old. Then, they had to knock him cold to take him away for surgery bc he is so terrifying and strong. He is really a good dog in the sense that he is compliant to commands in a calm setting. He will go into his kennel on command. He respects small gates/boundaries that are set up in the house (even though he can easily scale them). He co-exists with small dogs and cats. But he is over protective to a fault, becomes wildly protective and out of control. I want to be able to take my large dog for walks and the parks and places I go, but I can't control him. I want my family to feel comfortable around him and be able to have guests in my house without worrying he will bite them. I wont get rid of this dog. I love him so much. He's 3 yrs old. Unless he bites someone in my family? I can't see myself getting rid of him. But I would love to give him a better quality of life by taking him out for adventures and socialization without worry that he will bite someone. ALSO, sidenote: I've never ever felt safer in my own home before. Nobody lingers near my yard or my door. Nobody is going to enter my yard or my house. He is very smart and dedicated in his duty to protect. He never barks excessively. If he's barking? Its bc someone or something is near our property. He assesses threat level and alerts with a certain bark, I call it his "serious bark" when there is actually a person near the house or the yard.

[@winterblossom4446]

@@HazeyEy3s any advice would be appreciated. His name is Bear. He's beautiful, red brindle. Looks like an extra extra large red brindle German Sheppard with short hair. People tell me he is both beautiful and terrifying. To me, he looks like Scooby doo.

Walk walk. Same issue with my two year old lab. He's with me, but he just likes to be in front. When I stop 9 out od 10 times he stops and hustles back to my side. I usually change direction when he pulls. The pulling is getting old though.

[@lizrock1442]

I'm 63 yo, my dog is a mini dachshund (4 inches high), there is no way I can hold a treat in front of him while walking!!!! Got any solution for a mini wiener ?

[@Secret_Smiler]

I use a long handled plastic spoon with treat paste on to reward. Can be fiddly but saves me (and my back😅) bending down to my little doggie.

[@mernany]

You can get a large syringe and put some peanut butter or other treat paste

[@sarahparker3845]

[@thewoolenhomestead]

Is it safe to do leash pops using the gentle leader?

[@ppittie9747]

So used to walking my dogs on the right because a few of mine have been therapy dogs so we walk them on our right because walls and sidewalks are ….hard to explain but it keeps them from ppl when we need them to be. So will try these steps with some tweaking.

[@keishamoore342]

I would prefer them on the right too. It keeps them out of the way of other people walking the opposite directions

[@carolm.5880]

[@henryf.9154]

Prong collar?

[@careymiller9819]

My puppy has been doing great with the beginning of our walks. But as soon as we head home, she begins pulling. Even at the park, she is so smart - she pulls when we near the car. 😅 and when cars pass she will sit and wait, which seems better than lounging at the car but makes the walk experience a struggle.

[@susanhilton1360]

I have a toy poodle, 8 inch’s tall. I can’t get down to her for a treat and walk. I’m also almost 67.

[@luugianhut]

I think Kayl's high pitch is the biggest distraction for the dog, more than the toys and the food bowl 😂

[@thalassophile1665]

I walk two labs, they are awesome as long as I have treats in my hand, the moment I don’t, they pull. I’m guessing I need to work them both separately for this exercise. We go on “sniffy” walks and “walk walks”.

[@debbigoertzen8290]

I have a small dog, Pomsky, and am using a halter rather than a collar. Are there any adjustments to these lessons that I need to make?

[@Sam-qt5ff]

A halter like a harness? Ones that go around their body encourage pulling. They were originally made for sled dogs to pull the sleds comfortably. Need to use a flat collar. Dogs will keep pulling on harnesses. No dog trainer worth their salt recommends harnesses or halters. If you mean a halti, still not a great choice in my opinion. The pops could hurt the dogs neck from twisting.

Walk walk. Any recommendations for a dog who is completely unmotivated by food?

[@MariaSkorupinska]

They have a video where a lady is using toys as a motivation.

[@Sam-qt5ff]

Walk the dog when they’re hungry. Make the first meal of the day a walk to earn their breakfast. Put their kibble in a treat pouch instead of treats. If they’re hungry they’ll be motivated.

[@turgutmavuk]

Whenever we go outside my 8 month male english setter old puppy seem to be interested in smells more than anything and loses interest in food. Any recommendations?

[@meerespelikan]

Maybe better food or a toy? A lot of time is about engagement. Setters are great dogs for sniffing games/training. If we are boring (according to the dog), they find interesting things somewhere else. Depending on what your ideal walk looks like, you need more/different communication with your dog. Trained dogs don’t have to focus on us all the time (because they’re still aware enough for when you can recall them) but at 8 months old, it’s still all about building a relationship, so that they basically need to "store" you as more important than anything else.

[@Sam-qt5ff]

Don’t feed the dog before the walk. If they’re hungry then they’ll be motivated. Put their whole meal in a treat pouch.

[@janwencel609]

I have a dog that has high hunt instincts and squirrels are more interesting than food or pops. Any suggestions?

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

I've got a similar problem. I make my pup sit, look at me, and wait for a while until I'm ready to keep going (and usually whatever bird or squirrel is gone).

Walk walk

[@reddragonready]

My problem is my dog is a ball obsessed Border collie crossbreed who isn't pulling because he is distracted by something in sight but by any place anywhere where we ever played with the ball. He knows each place within half an hour walk in whatever direction we walk. So, lets say I start walking North..he knows a place he played in the north and that is what he is pulling towards, even if it is say a 20 minutes walk away.I don't understand how to use a "leave it" on that?

[@UnknownPr0digy]

If your dog is trying to go another direction, walk that way, make sure there is a little slack in it and right before leash extends bust a u turn and keep walking do not look back or let him pull, it teaches him/her to focus on you cause they see "hey this guy is going the other direction, I gotta pay attention to them." (If you are worried about hurting their neck, don't be, use common sense behind it) and if you use a harness even better cause no stressing about hurting puppys neck

[@Sam-qt5ff]

@@UnknownPr0digydon’t use a harness. They’re designed to encourage pulling. They’re not for training.

[@Sam-qt5ff]

Get a prong collar. They work great when used properly and it doesn’t hurt them. Sounds like he just pulls on walks in general. If you drove a half hour and hopped out of the car and randomly walked around I’d bet he’d still pull. And if he isn’t maybe it’s because he’s sniffing. Once the sniffs are old sniffs it’s not as exciting and they don’t stop as much or as slow.

You didn't really address the part about how to differentiate between different walks? For example, now you can sniff, to now we walk and you don't stop or sniff (as much)

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

I use a harness and long leash (20 or 50 ft depending on where we are) for a sniffy walk. I use a regular 6ft leash and a martingale collar for my working or structured walks. I'm hoping the different hardware clues my pup in, but it's hard to know for sure.

[@The_Ubatron]

Walk walk still here...

[@ArlynSigeti]

I see a human that holds the leash so short and tight so the dog has no choice but to pull. Also, allowing the dog to go forward and following behind on a tight leash, teaching the dog that a tight leash is the desired thing. Begin at the beginning, before attempting to walk anywhere. Teach the dog where you want him to be. Pay him well for being there. Show him how to get back to that spot. I think people expect to be able to walk their dog all over, with distractions and triggers without working on foundations first. It is so important to teach what we want. You can’t correct if the dog doesn’t understand the behaviors we want.

[@pvdogs2]

We call the sniff walk a 'sniffari'.
