Excellent! I seem to be at this point with my female springer right now. I'll try the solutions listed here. I have been using your methods solidly for about a week now, after using similar clicker training, but without some of the foundation work. It's really helping. I still have a dog reactive dog, but we're working on it. Thanks for all your help!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very helpful video Emily. I knew that the yo-yo effect was reinforcing to Lilly (my Siberian Husky) but I couldn't figure out why. I tried this method and she hated it - but it worked. Whenever we stopped, she whine and bark. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear she was telling me off in doggy language. She's a diva like that.
ReplyDeleteExcellent video(s) do you have any pit bulls / bull terriers / dogo argentinos you do this with? or just the generally submissive ones?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... My dog is often yo-yoing on the walks... Sadly, I'm not sure if there's too much I can do about it because she's just come to Sweden from spain as a rescue dog, she's very stressed and the enviroment is very reiforcing for her. I'll try to click her for staying with me but she quickly loses interest and finds the enviroment more interesting... :/ Hm. I use cheese for treats... What do you think, is it worth having yoyo walks until she calms down? any tips?
ReplyDeleteFab,thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewe had a major breakthrough - we click every eye contact the dog offers us. This helped a lot. The dog knows that it's the best to walk besides the leg but if she goes ahead and notice that I'm behind her, she self-correct herself and wait until I catch up. The leash is always loose. I can now walk relaxed along the sidewalk and my arm doesn't feel like it's made out of gum ;)
ReplyDelete@doggydogma I have a sniff signal named "check it out". ok i will try my "let's go" get rewarded by a "check it out". Maybe this helps that the dog pays more attention to me. The sniff-situation changes day by day. Some days the dog walks like the first number one top dog by my side and some days the world is made out of smells better than everything my dog ever sniffs ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome video! :)
ReplyDelete- I have a cocker spaniel - a natural born sniffer :) I began to add a "go sniff" cue - by saying go sniff while my dog was sniffing. I would pair this with my movement cue "lets go". I reward the let's go with a go sniff - but I also will lets go randomly at things my dog is going to sniff, and encourage him to sniff at points that he may other wise ignore. This has helped my dog begin to pay more attention to me on a walk. Your dog is young so be realistic, but don't give up!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the person that gave Tug up knows how awesome he is!
ReplyDeleteI forgot - my dog is a 6 month old puppy ... I think sniffing is a very normal behavior and it's often one of my rewards for the dog
ReplyDeleteMy dog is forgetting me while sniffing around and then the dog pulls.
ReplyDeleteThen the dog hits the end of the leash and come back and then the sniff goes on. I often try to click into the sniffing while the leash is loose.
What can i do to prevent hitting the end of the leash while my dog sniffs and diving into his own world? Any ideas? :)
The harness is from Hurtta, I bought it for Tug in Sweden :) Here you can find this particular harness, on the brands webpage: hurttacollection(dot)com/en/lifeguard-en/products/accessories/padded-harness/

Great vids! When i get a dog, im gonna watch everything youve made.
ReplyDeleteone could probably use these tricks to train people too, dont you think?
hey emily :) i love your tutorials, but i still have a problem with walking my dog. she has so much energie & is so curious about everything, that she often pulls or even barks, especially when we meet other dogs. i do train with her and at home we have no problem at all, but as soon as she's outside she pays no attention to me at all- it's like i'm invisible for her.
ReplyDeleteso how do i manage to get my dogs attention? she's not really into petting and toys are only interesting for her at home.
Thank you soooooooo much !!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a problem, my dog doesn't want price in the street, he is so afraid and don't pay attencion to me...what i have to do?
ReplyDeleteI bet I can answer that one for you ;)
ReplyDeleteAs with all dogs, Jack Russels can be started to be trained as soon as you get them! Just be sure to do it in short sessions especially as a puppy when they have a shorter attention span.
Awesome, this is my exact problem.
ReplyDeleteWorking on this currently with my golden-lab
I adopted a dog from the pound and he's grown huge in a short space of time! He doesn't show affection like my other dogs and never maintains eye contact. He pulls and I go flying. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid of walking him. Please help! I try train him in places with low distractions but he just doesn't look at me.
ReplyDeletei havemini jack russel,,and she pulls,,she only stops when shes like tired,,
ReplyDeleteEmily, what brand of harness is Tug wearing around 3:19. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, at what age do you recommend to start training a Jack Russell Terrier?
ReplyDeletewhat happens if my dog kinda wanders around me when I'm walking him, getting dangerously close to the road and just weaving the leash around my legs? He isn't pulling much but he just goes all over the place and I have to be careful where I step. If I have to get him to follow in the heel position, I usually have to make loud kissy noises and jog. Unfortunately, since he's a small Yorkie, we have to stop quickly ad he wanders around again. Help!
ReplyDeleteThis is more subtle than it looks, but I will give it a try. My lab is a total yo yo. Not to mention he KNOWS if I have treats in my hand and has eyes in the back of his head to see when I am restocking from the bait bag or my pocket.
