Absolutely insane how quickly and how well this worked. We have an 7-year-old dog who is not treat motivated and is so excited to go on a walk that she doesn't stop pulling till about halfway through. We tried every collar under the sun and nothing seemed to be working. Tried this method out and within 2 minutes she was no longer pulling!! My walks have become enjoyable instead of a chore. Every kudo possible to you!

Tears in my eyes. 3yo puller, tried 2 trainers techniques to no avail. Watched this once and implemented just now and within 5 mins the best walk we have been on in his life. Thank you so much!!!

As I write this, I'm almost in tears. I just tried this out on my very excitable Aussie AND IT WORKED. I've seen so many other videos, read many other ideas. This worked, and it is far simpler and instinctual than any of the other techniques I've tried. I've never owned a dog before and we're trying our best to train her. She's super smart but I still thought this would take some time. It didn't. I started out with the way you suggested starting out, by sitting at the door and waiting for your command. That took a few tries but it worked. Then I tried what you suggested for the walk itself. And it took almost no tries for her to get it. We had our first successful, non-pulling walk we've ever had thanks to you! Thank you for explaining the why's and the how's AND THE HOW-TO'S. You are now my favorite.

I watch his show every saturday and bought the book kzfaq.infoUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq because i like his method. He's very talktative in the book about his dog training experiences with several different breeds over the years. When he does get to the training chapters, you need to read more slowly, take mental or written notes and try to apply his advice to your pet. That's where i'm at now. Another review is in order aftet i've trained my blue mountain shepherd with brandon mcmillan's method.

I have used the same leash pop method for many dogs, and it works great. One tip I have seen Joel do is to make sure you crouch down prior to the pop. In other words, make sure the leash is parallel to the ground when it goes tight. Most people at first do the pop and the leash is pointed upwards towards the handler's shoulders. For whatever reason, this isn't nearly as effective as the leash being no taller than the dogs neck. Watch closely and you'll see Joel crouch low before the pull. Obviously if you have a short dog you'll need to get lower than normal. Just my 2 cents.

I found this right when I needed it most! I just rescued a full blood German Shepherd off the streets, not microchipped, and he is so strong! He tries to pull me everywhere. I am applying this today!

I'm a dog trainer from South Africa 🇿🇦, 41yrs of running mt school. This is the methods I use. It works. Many thanks to this trainer.

I volunteer at a shelter. We had a lab turned in due to owner death, and happily the family was coming for him, so I gave extra special attention to him due to the situation. I took him for walks and he was a puller. I tried this method and BAM, he stopped. I was thrilled that I helped him for that little bit so when he goes to the family, maybe they will keep him afterall. Thank you for this video. I recommend your videos to many!

I live in an apartment and was applying corrections for leash reactivity just like in your videos. Neighbor across the ways came out and scolded me for making those corrections as my dog was barking and lunging towards her. I was thinking to myself so this behavior is ok to you and you want my dog to rush towards you and possibly nip you? Some people need to mind their own business. The gentle leader makes those corrections look worse than they are because it turns their head. Anyways, your methods are working and I will continue to apply them. Now I just gotta learn to deal with these types of people too.

This is good however a “good boy/girl” when it is stopping when you do, will elevate it very much. A dogs drive to make you happy is key to success

Don’t forget to read the dog’s cues too. He wanted to stay in the shade & stand on the cooler pavement.

This is the 3rd video I watch and I was so impressed on how fast he started listening. I have a jack Russell terrier and people used to ask me if I was walking her or she was walking me. She was definitely walking me. She’s 8 years old now and I just started training her against pulling. I’ve been doing it without treats just correcting, pulling the leash and stopping. It’s been a week and she’s doing amazing. She looks for me now when I let her go without the leash. She’s a completely different dog. I shared this video with someone else that I know is training their dog.

Why does this guy always sound like he's arguing with someone? 🤣

This simply works. Joel is right we don’t give M&M treats to our kids every time they do something right so why do that with a dog? GOLDEN 🏆

The looking part i now realize i see in well trained dogs i see walking around. Always checking in

For me what works with my 3 dogs is I keep the leash short so they can't wander and I talk to them in an upbeat voice. As soon as they stray or pull I stop talking and praising them and go silent. They notice the change and start walking next to me again, no pulling of the leash required. I do this for the first year and after that they are perfect leash dogs. YMMV

I rescued an untrained 5 year old Pitbull 2 months ago. Gentle as anything but never taught anything behaviour and on a chain outside his whole life so dealing with walking, puppy biting, jumping… EVERYTHING a new puppy will do. Except Bear is 70 lbs. Walking has really improved. Every time he pulls he moves back to my side. I just couldn’t stop the pulling to begin with. I correct, but was afraid I was doing it too much. I’m doing what you are doing, but only when he pulls…not immediately when he walks away. I hope people realize the core of these videos. Dogs don’t watch KZfaq. You are training the humans. Not the dogs. The dogs won’t follow direction if we can’t follow what you tell us to do. Just subscribed…I know my plans this weekend. In.7 weeks we have grown to love Bear with all our hearts. Thanks for helping us bond with him through these sessions. 🤗

This worked great for my foxhound rescue. He picked up on it right away, but like clockwork he got comfortable and started pushing the new boundaries. That's his thing. But I was consistent for weeks and he finally got the hint that I wasn't going to give in to his stubbornness. Now he walks with me perfectly, no issues.

2 days of this method and I went from a nervous, energetic mess I hated walking to a dog multiple people have stopped me to comment on just how good my dog behaves on leash. it's really insane

Hahah I like this but also the tone makes me feel like I should apologize for something I haven’t even done.

Into day 3 of this training method im absolutely amazed with my dogs progress hes like a whole different dog to walk his attention is fully kept on me and not distracted by other dogs or people on bikes which he always use to pull towards. Thanks for the awesome tips

I have a Dobberman he is 6 months and he was pulling so hard that my arm was hurting after a hour walk. I used your method and after 10 min he was stop pulling. It was a amazing walk this morning. Just amazing and thank you for your video. It helped me a big time!

I am amazed, I know possibly you won't see this but still I wanted to express my thanks. I just got back from the best walk I think I've ever had with my dog. She's a four year old working line German shepherd, and since she was six months old we have seen countless dog trainers and I've watched hundreds of hours watching dog training videos and spent many more working with my dog. Her general behaviour is great, the positive reinforcement techniques work great for teaching new things and tricks, however when she's on a lead she just looses focus on a walk, she's far more interested in smelling something or looking at something and pulling me to get to the new smell. Just correcting the pull and reinforcing when she's walking next to me requires my attention 100% of the walk and constant treats, and it doesn't work 100% of the time, if I am walking with someone else it all goes out the window. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this dog to a point I can just walk without her pulling me over or hurting me to walk her. I found your video last night, we worked through today and the difference is night and day. It seems like by interrupting what she wants to do and her focus on that thing and redirecting it towards me and giving her a treat every so often but not so often she depends on that for good behaviour is the key here. I cannot thank you enough it feels like from here I can actually work with her and get her to the point that walks become enjoyable and something I look forward to doing with her, rather than dreading.

This way of training a dog by leash cues is very similar to communicating to horses via a rein and halter. As soon as the horse or dog does something other than what you are teaching them, you stop everything, give them a moment to process and then begin again. Not only does it take patience and for the human to count on spending a lot of time at a session, it also takes review at first because they need reminding and to know that nothing has changed, so yeh, humans need to be very consistent.

I love it! Thank you! I had a Chocolate Lab who pulled for 13.5 years and I never did anything about it. We got a 1.5 year old Chocolate Lab from a shelter 5 days ago. He was almost totally untrained. I had him walking next to me in 5 minutes.

Yessss this is my kind of REAL life scenario training. Some physical from the owners part and not doing the training treats sooo much. I love the way you said you don’t want to be just constantly giving queues CONSTANTLY! Because that’s what I am doing. I am speaking to my dog the entire walk instead of enjoying. This could be a much easier way to train

My 6 month old yellow lab is a puller, this video saved me a ton of heartache in literally 15 minutes 1 walk. 22 stops. Thank you so much!!

I have a 6 month old English mastiff that I worked on from day 1 of bringing her home with positive reinforcement only and this dog looks to me as if I’m the best thing ever. I don’t treat her every 5 seconds and she still regularly checks in with me. She started as an unruly puppy pulling at the end of the leash and jerking me around. What you’re doing here “works” but because it’s aversive. Is it animal abuse? Absolutely not. But is this the BEST technique. Absolutely not. This is exactly what you said, QUICK fix because it’s aversive. Where as positive reinforcement is building a relationship and rewarding them for checking in with you. You condition with relationship and food. He actually checked in numerous times when you first got ahold of him. He checked in with you a few times and you didn’t reinforce it. Had you and most owners actually built the foundation of “checking in” you’d see the behaviors shape from there. You use less and less treats as time goes on. It isn’t quick but it isn’t using threats of “popping leashes”. Using figure eights and regularly changing directions along with positive reinforcement is incredibly effective but takes patience. Again I say that this is not animal abuse and not the worst thing ever. You’re absolutely right that the leash pops don’t hurt the dog! But it is NOT the BEST technique when there is other techniques that avoid all aversive techniques. Am I in the business of saving dogs lives? Yes!! So if it comes down to euthanizing or leash pops and prong collars (used properly) then I will accept that but I would NEVER go for this method for a puppy who is still learning the world. This is the time to build the relationship!

While I dislike the constant tugging on the collar that's on a very sensitive area. I do enjoy the video. Thanks for the different method, I'll be sure to try a much more gentle way.

This is really good stuff. I'm totally sold on your technique. I would just say that you don't need to be so defensive against the haters. There will always be critics...don't give them any power.

WOW! With a little work you did it with just a regular collar n Leash. I always knew there was a way.

He is absolutely right. I've never used treats to train dogs

I have a 3 y/o Malinois. He used to be tough to walk. Thanks to you and this method he is a pleasure. I may step up to a gentle leader to make it even better! Thanks!!!

My pup is 4.5 months almost ready for the leash training. My old dog, rest in peace, was a dang near perfect walker, but its been 12 years since I have trained a dog! Thanks for this method, I am going to use it.

I'm glad that you left in where the dog struggled a bit. I think a lot of us see clean cut videos and think we are failing because it doesn't work on the first time

So, this is the real deal. I have a 10 month old Boston frenchie mix. totally pulls till I want to pull my own hair out. I watched this video last night. Today in less then 30 minutes my dog is healing, watching me, mostly loose leash. wolves don't talk dogs don't talk why train them with words they don't understand. He sat at every crosswalk, sat in the lobby of my building waiting patiently for the elevator. Then sat withou8t being asked in the elevator. I am so sharing this and your videos to everyone!!! I would love to become a spokesman or ambassador for your products and services!!!! What blows my mind is its only day one!!!

I appreciate your training methods. You don’t talk too much, you’re straight and to the point. No philosophical or talks about energies, etc. Your tips are practical and they have worked effectively on my puppy. I’ve been walking her off the leash. When I say, “wait” she finds a spot to sit and waits for me. Love it! Thanks!

I was halfway here with my dogs. The difficulty of getting a pair from the same litter can not be overstated. They reinforce their own bad habits and this technique means I at least have another tool to not make it worse. I'm excited.

This guy is pure agro

Honestly I think there are different methods that work. I used positive reinforcement on my dog that used to pull (smooth collie). He got the idea eventually even though it took me a while. He now walks without tension on the leash and the treats have been phased out. I dont even take them with me unless we are going to new environments or doing some outdoor training.

This is such a great video. Dogs being trained need to be one with their owner. Not one with treats every second.

Beautiful! Such a patient way to train the dog and the human. Learning from each other to ensure a happy and stress free walk. 😊❤

So I tried this - on a 9 month old, 23kg husky that can't be walked by anyone but me and even I have sore shoulder in the evenings at the end of our walks (we usually have him off leash as he is unbearable on the leash) - and it took 4 tugs and he is a different dog. This is incredible, I wish I came across your video 6 months ago. Cannot thank you enough.

For my puppy pamphlets in my breeding program, I'm listing your KZfaq channel. Your techniques have worked so well on my 7 month GSD. The proof is in the pudding!

I feel like I’m his wife and he’s just come home from a really bad day at work.

That dog is calm. You should see my dog. Omg. Guess I’m a bad pet parent.

I give treats because I want to make the trading enjoyable . I trained before her morning meal, and I used her kibble. Works like a charm

OMG, I cannot thank you enough for sharing such an amazing technique and, most amazingly of all, doing so for free! I adopted my first ever dog just under six months ago at the age of 31. She was 8 months old, and I was her third home already. I was shocked to find out that she had zero training. I would absolutely dread our walks and was starting to resent her. I love her immensely, but our walks were such a struggle that I was starting to seriously consider the possibility of re-homing the poor thing again to a more experienced owner. I live in Canada, and she nearly pulled me straight to my slippery, icy death several times. During the first week that I got her in the fall, she literally DRAGGED me across a field in her eagerness to chase a ball - to the point that I got grass burn along the forearm that was holding the leash and my clothes got covered in mud. I weigh about 230 lbs, so she is STRONG!!! Her second owners said that she is 1/2 hound, 1/4 black lab, and 1/4 mastiff. She's a big girl! Daily, I have been walking down the street, getting yanked around to the point that I was concerned that she might dislocate my wrist or shoulder. I walk her first thing in the morning and right before bed (plus a mid-day short walk around the block), and I couldn't keep starting and ending my days getting worked up into a frustrated, angry mess. I was telling her commands that she KNEW when we practised them indoors, like 'easy', 'come', or 'sit', but it's as if she would literally lose her mind as soon as she got outside because of her excitement and energy level. She wouldn't care at all about treats and would be in her own little brainless world. Each walk rapidly devolved into a shouting match, and people would give me a wide berth, thinking me a lunatic rather than a frustrated person who was in pain and nearing my breaking point. It was turning me into a generally irritable person, leaving me with no patience to deal with any other tiny inconveniences that might crop up during my day. I ordered a head collar (a Halti) from Amazon. Of course, this thing that I needed desperately and wanted to receive urgently got lost, so I had to order a second one and wait even longer. I was worried that I might snap and lose it on her in the meantime, so I asked my middle-aged friend to take her for a few days to give me a break. During that time, we got freezing rain here; my friend got yanked & fell HARD on her knees the other day, with my dratted dog running off, leaving her behind as if nothing had happened. When I messaged her today, she told me that she was "recovering" from this afternoon's walk. I finally received the head collar today in the late afternoon. Full of anxiety, I walked over to my friend's house (about ten minutes away) to pick up my dog. On the walk home, I used the head collar and your technique; I had the best walk that I’ve ever had with her. It worked like absolute MAGIC. I am SO RELIEVED and beyond ECSTATIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I feel like I can enjoy having my sweet pup for the first time ever, and I am thrilled that I can be her forever home, like I had initially planned to be. You've given me my sanity back, and my relationship with my dog will be so much better from this point forward. I tried so many techniques and so many different types of treats; this technique is literally the only thing that worked. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I shall be in your debt forever, you wonderful, incredible man!!!

I stumbled across this particular video last night and watched it with an "okay, another technique that looks easy for the guy in the video that I'll have no luck with" attitude. But it looked different, and after reading the comments caught on to the "lower the leash" tip. So, I just got back from walking my stubborn German shepherd (who failed three obedience courses) and was really impressed with how quickly he caught on to my "new" form of correction! Within a few minutes he was paying much more attention to me, and started to correct himself before I could give the leash a tug. I'm very pleased with how my dog reacted and have great hopes for further improvement as we continue our daily walks (which had been frustrating struggles for the most part!). This is my third dog, and so far the most difficult to train. And I know it's mostly my not knowing how to communicate with him. But I'm going to be checking out more of these vids and hope that they will help me learn what to correctly do to teach my pup to be the awesome dog I know he is.

I can’t wait to give this method a go today. I love the notion of having my dog on a walk without having to think about him constantly. I’m ready to invest this time. Thank you!

GOAT. I’ve learned so much from Beckmann. My dog is now very well behaved. My wife hates it because she sees herself as the dog trainer in the family

Do one that pulls and bites and barks and plays with the leash when trying to redirect them. That was a pretty chill dog.

Beckman is the best, I have used his examples for walking my dog and he has improved 80% or more on walks and has become a different dog.

wait until he finds out the dog doesn't actually know why he's tugging on the leash lmao

Oh Joel why don’t you just give him a bunch of treats? …”Cuz I don’t want to give him a bunch of treats! Cuz that’s not the way I live life!” Haha

The Joel Reinforced Walk..this is so good! 👍

Oh thank goodness, training for real life. I have anxiety and am neurodovergent. I find other training methods such incredible hard work. When I'm out I don't want to be constantly focusing on giving the dog cues, treats and carrying out extensive exercises. This is something you can just do when you are walking and is easy to do every time we go out. It makes walking and training one exercise not two separate tasks. Thank you so much

Giving me some confidence to get a small dog! (…I’m a wheelchair user, 100% independent, do not need the assist but might like the companion…)

Agreed. Sounds like hes telling everyone else how much they suck and how awesome he is.

HOLY COW! my pup is 4 months old and we have had issues walking since we started. He is small but he pulls horrible on the way home. All the way home. I bought one of those slip leads and even though I used it right he would rather choke to death then walk right. Anyway I found this video today and couldn't wait to give it a try. 2 min! 2 min and my dog was walking on a dangled lead. Yes many corrections during the 40 min walk but all in all it was SO GREAT! After the walk when we came in house and he was off the leash he still kept checking at me for like 15 min. Oh pls trust this guy he really knows what he is doing. It's almost magic and my dog had his ears up, tail up he was much happier too. Being 4mths the only issue now is he wants to smell everything. Picking my battles! Thank you!

This worked so well! I have a 100+ lb Dane and St Bernard mix who has been terrible on walks since day 1. I've tried several different type of collars, a pinch collar has worked somewhat but not great. This technique changed his whole vibe in about 15 minutes. He's so much better at pulling and not running off to check out every tiny thing and pulling to go see every person and dog in the world. It's crazy how fast and effective this works. Thank you so much for this.

I thought ceaser was good, your style is more simple and preferred,no messing around, I got results with in the first walk trying this,with my 6 month old ducth shepherd

This is basically my dog other than she also gets worked up when she sees another dog on walks. On leash anxiety and when dogs are on the other side of a fence. I admit I've not had consistent chances to socialize her with other new dogs in public. However, she usually does do good around other dogs at her own place or someone that was willing and able to help with the introduction of their dog with her. She's gotten along with over 10 dogs, being mostly family dogs then few over time to greet. She LOVES people, but loves to bounce at them. She gets super excited at the start but if the right person is around her, she knows how to calm down. Another relative is when people may be sitting and talking. She tends to get in our faces rather hyper or just mildly hyper. She sometimes takes other people as a joke as she can push others around more than she can me. Like I was even able to teach her to stop sleeping on my bed after 3 years of allowing it! Though there is that once in a huge while she'll sneak onto my bed, while I'm asleep. She is also unaltered and is currently 3½ years old. Other bigger issue are attacking fences due to people or dogs and digging. Even if she knows the person, she'll bark at them from the other side of the fence. I definitely need to watch more relates videos. I just need to leave my bengals at home for some of the walks and switch between.

That was a GREAT tip about younger dogs…. To not always correct but also be a re enforcer. Something to take note of for sure. I know with a puppy it feels like constant corrections but I took note of that! “General leash rules. Not a bunch of treats, not a bunch of cues”.

People don't realize that if it did hurt the dog, that there would be yelping

How could it be “wrong” or unacceptable to correct a dog’s behavior when we teach our children and correct their behavior so they learn how to behave at home and in society.

Watched a number of his videos recently, wish I would have found them a year ago. Agree with everything I’ve watched so far. This was probably the most apropos to my needs. Attention attention attention… I need to next find one to curb enthusiasm when seeing other dogs…

really been struggling with my dogs pulling, inattention, and leash reactivity and we've had him a year. I've watched countless videos and read so much and this is the most bare minimum and basic lesson I've seen yet. can't wait to try it

I’ve tried this technique and works amazing, it’s so nice to have your dog walking next to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This is old fashioned tried and true training!! My first class 50 years ago, the instructor did exactly this. No food just keeping the dog in check. Don’t let your dog pull! Correct with a quick jerk on the leash et voila no more pulling.

12:13 dog: "Ok, lets see if he stops when I stop..."

Thank you so much for this video. I've been giving my dog so many treats on walks that he expects it. Thanks for this video as I now know what I need to do.

I really like what you said about how you want to be able to take your walks leisurely and think about whatever you wanna think about instead of constantly giving cues. That’s what I’m working towards so I will give your method a go on our next walk! Thank you so much 🤙🏼

I can’t believe it was that easy, my 10 month old Australian labradoodle learned to walk on leash with just 5 minutes of effort. Just awesome man ❤❤❤

Love this no nonsense approach and without the focus on treats! I grew up with dogs in the home, and treats were treats! Not handed out constantly.

Your methods definitely changed the lives of me and my Heeler for the better. Forever grateful. Keep doing what you’re doing. 🐕❤️

Great channel. The two things Joel says the most..."I'll do this all day, I don't care"... I'm not going to do that, I don't have time for that"

Totally works! I think it’s a matter of clear communication with your dog, no clutter or confusion.

The neck yanking king!

I find it extra effective because it snaps the dog out of its locked gaze and turns its attention to you. Plus it's a controlled, planned move, something you can do before you meet or pass a dog in the distance. Results from a few pops. I'm loose leash walking 2 dogs at once and I feel proud!

I taught primary students for years and many of your methods are what effective classroom teachers use. I refer to your consistency, patience, repetition, rewards (mostly verbal), and consequences. Thank you for being such an effective teacher!

This Method just resonates so extremely with me I love it, thank you very much!

This dog is not that bad. He just needs to check in.

LMFAO... he is so dramatic when he pulls the leash..he stops gets all low and uses to hands, HAHAHA cracked me up

Love how real you are! Tried this method in the park today and my BMC started to get it. He did seem a little sad though and I know they're a sensitive breed, but I think it's because his previous owner let him do whatever he wanted.

I love how you care about teaching the dog good manners! You’re videos are helping me teach my 6 month old German Shepherd husky mix. Thank you

To train our dogs just played hide and seek in the Australian bush.. to get them to come on call always… and to heel walked with a snack in my hand until the end of the walk… easy 💕

What an awesome start, tell my co-workers something similar. I don't want dog's doing what I tell them, because they know they'll get something, cause when you remove that, often the process needs reinforcing.

Thanks for another easy to follow video. I raise small and toy Australian shepherds and use either a modified slip lead harness or the easy walk harness with great success. Would love to see you do more with toy breeds since they tend to get away with murder just because they are small and nobody sees their poor behavior as a big deal. So many unbalanced and unhappy toy dogs in this world due to being spoiled and uneducated.

After 3 dog trainers and always been told to teach the heal position to stop my sprocker from pulling. This is the first technique I have found that focuses on what the lead means. Day 1 of trying this technique out and it is like walking a different dog! So happy I found this video. I know the training has just begun, but thank you for finally showing a simple technique to train a dog to stop pulling on the lead.

My dog walks behind me. I have never seen a dog do this before. I've always had pullers that I had to train to walk beside me, but my sweet Arabella prefers to walk behind her humans so she can keep an eye on us lol. We also usually have to carry her part of the way because she gets tired lol.

SO COOOL!!! Finally a trainer who works with an untrained dog! Most dog trainers show all these cute, well behaved pooches that don't need training at all, leaving me wondering what's wrong with my mongrel. 😂 Just through the first 4 minutes of the video and subscribed right away. Why did I not find this channel three years ago when I took my dog home from the SPCA... 💕 🐾

Great to see another trainer who believes in general behavioural expectations rather than constant management. Valuable video and really defining the most common reason for failure to improve.... Failure to put the consistent work in and follow the process.

This is the best no pull leash instruction that I have seen on KZfaq. I really like your authoritive approach. This is good teaching for the owner and the dog. You clearly had a dog that was not a well trained "plant" and you quickly provided proof of an effective method. Well done!

I wanna set my dog up for success 😊

The easiest way I get a dog to walk beside me is to change directions.

This technique worked great with my wandering dog. She doesn’t pull much but she wanders all the time. By the end of the first walk- after stopping what seemed like a hundred times she was walking nicely with me and stopping when I stopped using this technique! Thank you for sharing info for a dog that’s biggest problem is wandering and not paying attention. First true loose leash walk we done, every other technique I have tried before this one left us both frustrated and feeling defeated. This one works!

Thank you for this video. This dog is exactly like my golden x lab dog who is 11 months. He loves to go off on sniffing tangents and pulls with his body weight when he’s fixated on something like this dog does. Recently bought a gentle leader and it works amazing, but I’d like to continue training him on loose leash walking with just a collar. I’ve been using your method for around a month now and have seen results but not as I’d like them to be. I think I know where I’m going wrong thanks to this video. It’s letting them sniff much later in the walk rather than in the beginning, I tell my dog a cue to let him sniff but I’ve been doing it much too early. Thanks again for your video. Cheers from Australia!

I’ve been using this method with my 2yr rescue. None of the other training methods clicked with her. Two sessions of this method and she’s almost a perfect walker. Thank you for your assistance with such a troublesome issue.

Gentle leader is especially useful for people like me who have a disability which makes me really weak. Just that tiny bit of power he uses on the flat collar I would never be able to do. But with the gentle leader, it's like a quarter to half of the force.
