Clicker Dog Training: STOP Leash Pulling!
This is an exercise that supplements the techniques that I have presented on this topic already. It is not by any means a conclusive, end-all solution to stop leash-pulling. However, after having worked through everything else mentioned in my other videos on teaching loose leash walking, I find that a lot of dogs learn very quickly with this approach that they must not pull if they want to continue the walk. It is important to note however, that using food as a reward after every 'roundabout' may cause some dogs to pull just so they can come around for a reward. Using food rewards occasionally should eliminate this problem.

ReplyDeletethe camera is too close to your face
ReplyDeleteokay I'll try that. but the thing is it's ON THE WAY HOME. she'll just lie down in the middle of the road and cars pass by and honking at her. I HAD TO pull the leash and drag her. i panicked! The thing is that she MIGHT be really tired as she's around 7 years old now rather than scared. she knows the area really well. one time she was gone from my house, we looked for her everywhere, and one hour later she was back! its fine if she wants to rest for a bit, not in the middle of the road though!
ReplyDeleteMy German Shepherd would do this out of fear. She'd make a complete stop if we walked too far away from home. What I did to remedy this is to make the outside all sunshine and rainbows for her. The main motivator for my dog is her chicken treats.
ReplyDeleteIf your dog is motivated by food easily, try waving it in her face. When she gets up to go after the food, begin walking while holding it in her face. After a suitable distance is gained, reward her in a very happy tone. Rinse and repeat.
And yes I've tried pulling the leash. Still she wouldnt budge and sit still. Or worse, lies down in the middle of the road.
ReplyDeleteMy dog a golden retriever, initially LOVES the walk. But in the middle of the walk, she would SIT and wont budge to move at all. She even lays down!! How do I get her to resume walking again? This is very dangerous since she would sit in the middle of the road UNEXPECTEDLY where cars are passing by! She could get hit! =(
ReplyDeletethat dog is so cute...bt ive tried tht alot of times with my puppy,and he only seems to do it with food
ReplyDeletewhat if they get the wrong idea and decide to walk behind you?
ReplyDeletedo you do the same thing that you have shown?
thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat if she bites and tugs at the leash...sigh...
ReplyDeletewhat would you suggest if the dog isnt pulling, but sitting and doesnt want to move forward?
ReplyDeleteMy border collie x rescue used to pull quite a lot, which is very dangerous here due to icy roads! But after clipping the leash to the front of her harness she immediately stopped pulling!:D
ReplyDeleteWe are about to adopt a rescued German shepherd that is 8 years old . Poor thing has spent his life locked up. The rescue place we are getting him from say he has leash pulling issues. Any advice on training an older dog?.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is ADORABLE!!! I love her ear-feathering!
ReplyDeletei know where you live lol :)
ReplyDeleteLove your video and training methods, using them on our GSD puppy. 13 weeks old today and training very well, Thank you!
ReplyDeletealso, the advantages of my dog is that she is a very quick learner, it only took me 5 mins to learn her not to pull, i also learnt her to "hi-5' and "stick em up" lol :) its very impressive when walking your dog xx
ReplyDeletehey i have a 1year old shih tzu, she pulls half the time, but not as bad as what she used to, i bought her a non pull harness and most the time it doesnt work. when she pulls i say "here" and i put the treat behind me thinking that it may stop her pulling, and i did this constantly throughout the walk, and on the way home, i didnt give her any treats and she didnt pull and she kept looking at me :) i think its starting to work i just need to keep persisting :).
ReplyDeleteHello. I have a young 4 month weimaraner puppy and he still does not understand when he has to be calm and when it's time to play. He pulls very hard. What is a best technique to teach a very energetic dog? After all day of running he still seems active :) !
ReplyDeleteI've honestly used some of the dog training techniques on my kiddos. hahaha
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a German Shepherd Mix who walks comfortably most of the time, but whenever we pass another person or dog he lunges at them due to excitement. This really gets frustrating after a while, advice please ??
ReplyDeleteNow I know how to introduce clicker training ! Thanks : )
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting your training videos... now I know how to introduce clicker training to my dog ! Seems very logical. Now to put it to the test !
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any of the other techniques I explain in my other videos? Like I mentioned in this video+description, this is a relatively advanced idea that will work with some dogs whose excitement level has already been somewhat lessened through several other exercises first. Please see those first if you haven't already.
ReplyDeleteHiya, i have a dog that pulls due to excitement and i tried the same method that you explained in this video and i found that my dog seemed to view coming back to my side a game. So he would pull as part of the game and then complete it by coming to my side repeatedly on walks. Pull heel pull heel pull heel pull heel constantly - he didn't stop pulling to avoid having to heel as suggested.
