How to train your dog not to pull- Loose Leash Walking
In other words- walking on a loose leash. This video quickly outines exercises to get your dog walking on a loose leash by your side. Put very basically FIRST you will teach the dog what you want them to do! And secondly, stop reinforcing them when they pull! I demonstrate the exercise using a clicker, but if you do not have one, you can always use a verbal marker like yes etc. However you will get much faster and reliable results by using the clicker. If you hold the clicker in the same hand as the leash, and keep the treats in the other hand, you will find it easier to manage. Practice holding the leash, clicker, and treats when you do not have the dog attached to the leash yet, so you dont become overwhelmed. A great book on loose leash walking, or how to stop your dog from pulling is- My Dog Pulls. What Do I Do? by Turid Rugaas You can get this book on www.dogwise.com and other places too. Its very short and has lots of pictures. I would advise against using any forms of positive punishment when teaching any behavior, but especially leash walking, as startling or hurting a dog actually increases their stress hormones in their body causing the dog to be more hyperactive and more likely to become aroused and reactive towards other dogs and people (weather they want to greet them or not). DO NOT DROP THE LEASH! I showed myself dropping the leash on a street with no cars/danger and another person there. This would happen during an emergency, if you trip or fumble. In no ...

GREAT video. You are a very good trainer.
ReplyDeleteme neither.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone i was wondering to get some feedback. I want to change signals on my dog, like i want to give a different hand signal to lay and etc. Is it to confusing for the pup?
ReplyDeleteI can't... military. </3
ReplyDeleteGet a DOG!!
ReplyDeleteWait... why am I here on this video again? Stupid youtube is playing tricks on me.
ReplyDeleteI just adopted (Yesterday) a 2year old Siberian Husky. On her first walk with me, she pulled alot. So I started using your methods at 1:33 and 1:53. It's already starting to work. This morning I walked her for the 2nd time and she pulled alot less. It's not a complete success yet, but by the end of the walk, she was starting to stay beside me for mor than 5seconds :D
ReplyDeletebecause you want to gget a dog...
ReplyDeleteMy jack russel is way too hyper
ReplyDeleteMy dogs a beagle and none of this work, he's a complete idiot and drags and pulls and because of his nose since hes a beagle he runs to trees and other dogs and i am unable to walk properly i never take him anymore.... Any tips? So he can go out again
ReplyDeletehahaha sounds like my Smokey, they can be manipulative, can't they? just like babies . . . :)
ReplyDeletethanks for your help. hopefully just waiting will do the trick... but I'm not sure in this case, because he does like going on walks now. I've trained my dog to do a "sit/stay" which he is very good at, and I think that HE thinks that whenever he wants a treat, what he needs to do is sit and stay (even if I haven't asked him to) and he should get one. He only does this in certain locations along our walk where i previously gave him a lot of treats while teaching him not to bite my legs on walks!
ReplyDeleteSimple, your dog is still young, give him a few months and he would be more than eager to walk with you. I had lots of problems walking my German Shepard when he was about six months old, but now he just goes crazy when its time for the walk. Hope this helped a bit.
ReplyDeletei didnt help my dog dosnt walk with me instead i have to drag her plz repley
ReplyDeletelearned a lot of this, thanks. but you walk like you've Pooped on yourself :S
ReplyDeleteive never heard my dog bark yet :(
ReplyDeleteHi Kikopup. I very much enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. I have an idea for a video about a problem I'm having on walks with my five month old Bernese Mountain Dog. I haven't seen you or anyone else address this particular problem. My dog often sits down and refuses to walk along next to me. He comes if I say "come" but then he sits again until I say "come" again, so walking becomes frustrating and difficult. If you're looking for fresh video ideas... this one would help me!
ReplyDeleteFantastic video, I'll definitely have to try it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDog? Thsts a rat on a lead lol. Gd vid tho will try that with my ddb.
ReplyDeleteNice video! I've been trying to stop my dog from pulling (he's a yorkie/maltese mix) but i have problems with doing it the treat-way since it seems like when we're outside its way too hot for him to eat treats, its usually around 90-100F (he's busy panting with his tongue out). And he simply looses interested in the treats (I tried different kinds), is there another technique you could recommend? :)
ReplyDeleteAh call your self a dog trainer I sound train you to become a dog trainer
ReplyDeleteomg i just tried this and it worked but was very difficult with my excitable, everywhere, anxious yorkie
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see her do this with a dog that moves faster than her!
ReplyDeletewonder if this will work on my 8 week old puppy. He's a German Shepard/ Labrador retriever/ Golden retriever mix. He pulls and trying to get him focused is a battle within itself. When I stop and/ or change direction he doesn't care. He'll pull back on the lease, Sit and not move and then whine, or he'll actually throw himself down on the ground..he won't stay on one side of you and he actually will " attack" your legs/ feet/ shoes.
ReplyDeletewhat are clicks?
ReplyDeletehaha thats thats a looooouuuud washer
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just get a new washing machine?
ReplyDeletemy dog barks at kids alot. what should i do for that?
ReplyDeleteHow could I reinforce my dog without saying "no" or did you mean do not shout "No!"
ReplyDeleteOr maybe you could just get a washer that doesn't sound like you have bowling balls in it.
ReplyDeleteSo how would you go about this if the dog alert barks only once to noises outside (e.g. dogs and people walking past, or dogs barking in the distance) ? My dog just does one ear-piercing bark at noises, then looks at me with a guilty look. I haven't punished her for barking, but guessing her previous owner did. I can't hear whatever she's hearing, so it's difficult to throw her a treat before she hears the noise....
ReplyDeleteWhat about barking at birds? I don't see this working, good stuff though.
ReplyDeleteExcellent
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take?
ReplyDeleteHi,my dog barks at noises and strangers only when me and my spouse are around him. We are teaching him right now the sit and stay like your others videos and it is working when there is food but it doesn't always work when he see that there is no food, any advices? Thanks, P.s. he is a chihuahua long hair..
ReplyDeleteattacked twice?? Poor Splash!! You have wonderfull pets by the way and you are awsome! :)
ReplyDeleteHe's practicing these behaviours, which will make them more likely to occur - also, if this is fear related rather than just wanting to chase things (can't tell, but likely fear if he's reacting to "people near him" and not just people who are running or cycling etc) it won't get better unless you give him some down time; it's vital he not be put in that situation where he will lunge and bark. Behavioural Adjustment Training (BAT) by Grisha Stewart could help (the ebook is on dogwise for $9.95 )
ReplyDeleteSounds like your dog is over threshold and needs some time *not* going for runs at the park (yes, exercise is extremely important, but if he's reacting to everything like that, it's doing him more harm than good... is there a quieter, preferably deserted (but safe!) area you can take him to for a while? Distance from his triggers, keep him below threshold (if he lunges and barks, he's too close), then the food will have a better effect. If you know you'll run out, can you take more?
ReplyDeleteno thank you stupid? You called them stupid lol?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the clicky thing? Do dogs enjoy the sound of clicking? Nice video btw, thank you.
ReplyDeleteVery intelligent approach to the problem of barking. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteExcellent video - very instructive and you are obviously
ReplyDeleteHi every time my little beagle jack is in his crate, he is fine then if we go up or down the stairs, he barks like crazy he won't shut up. My dad wants to give him away, and he's been with us for years!!!!! I don't wanna let him go! We also have an American bulldog and she can't be separated with jack. Vice versa. I don't wanna leave him!!!! Any advice???
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this is the best way.... we've tried everything. Taking him to training, training him ourselves, etc... but while on a run at the park, he always barks at people and run towards them, even biting their pants. Even when I take food for my run and try to catch his attention every time he barks. As soon as I'm out of food, there he goes again. I am thinking of buying those electric collars.... with a pain in my heart, otherwise I'll have the police at my door anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteWe have a cavalier king charles with Springomyalgia. He is a special needs dog. We adopted him 3 months ago. He barks almost continuously. He was badly mistreated from day 1. Has a very difficult time walking, can you give us some suggestions regarding his barking. Does not interact with our other 6 dogs. Just wants to be near me. Please help.
ReplyDeleteThank you sooo much, i feel guilty when i have to yell.
