In this video Stop Leash Pulling - Stop your dog from pulling on the leash can be easy after this video! This is the first time Thomas has worked with this dog and the immediate change in behavior is apparent. In minutes zeus goes from too stressed to take any directions to a good heel and a much more laid back state of mind. Thomas explains exactly how to use the leash for correction to stop leash pulling as well as what not to do.

Verbal commands need to be consistent between multiple owners, handlers. Dogs are not bilingual. If its "heel " it is not "walk" with someone else.

Same here.. finally figured that out after giving away 2 $1200 rottweilers lmao.. very expensive learning experience for me there.. I finally just went with hand commands only with a clicker.. no verbal communication or command except the clicker.. I use that as the attention grabber and to call the dog .. another words he is never too far to hear the clicker but if he is he is always watching me regardless of where he is for the fact all his commands are from hand signals therefore he has to watch me. But that's when the clicker comes in to play. For ex. if he is not watching me or is laying around I'll click once for his attention, then 2 clicks for "come" or a hand command.. hand commands are so much easy than verbal commands.. and your able to communicate with your dog while out in town or in the house while the baby is asleep without anyone knowing.. best thing ever.. I've worked extremely hard to only obey hand signals or the clicker. After 6 months he will not take any verbal commands from me, my wife, the kids or anyone else far as that goes.. extremely nice in my opinion.. 1 thing to always remember....your dog DOES NOT speak English or any other language nor does he automatically understand your words.. Good luck to everyone who may never read this. God bless

@@FullNelson007 that's really cool. If I want my dog to come I just point at my feet. Works very well. If I want him to heal, then I will just walk away and point at my feet again and he follows. Same with getting in the car or going into the house. It's pretty cool.

@@michaelangelos5117 yeah I'd have to say it's truly the coolest thing about having a dog. If you don't have a clicker I'd say give it a try.. when your useing hand commands try to use 1 finger pointing down at your feet as you said for "here or come" 2 (I use pointer and thumb) for my signal to heel.. just different ways you use your hand so your dog is not seeing the same commands for each task.. would kinda be like saying "come" for all 3 main things.. come, sit & down.. dogs are very intelligent and can see the difference in your hand each time trust me..

He loved you and learnt how to train his dog with your videos. He got this dog after his friend was giving her up because she was so unruly. His beautiful girl was doing so well, no pulling, she was engaged, just perfect!! I thought WOW!! The power of KZfaq & a great trainer is changing the world. Well done Tom!

Great explanation on not using prong. I use the prong with my GS because she wanted to keep constant leash pressure, even while being otherwise well behaved. That can cause nerve damage in the dog, but I never realized how bad she was until I injured my hand and that slight pull hurt. Now there is ZERO leash tension on a heel. My other dog does not need this level of inervention.

@danabyrd891 4 жыл бұрын

I had to Upgrade to prong Collar to get my dogs attention, he’s a Rottweiler puppy and very very big at 10 months old. Fortunately the collar got his attention and he doesn’t resist it at all I’m almost to the point of changing over to another collar. The point is I can’t have a dog dragging me because he’s huge and I’m not and I want him to be obedient and my protector not a silly heart dog that’s all over the place and running me over. I have just lost my female after 12 years and it broke my heart he will never be what she was but hopefully he’ll be close.

I’m starting to work with a Rottweiler who is very very strong and obese. I’d like to be able to take him for walks, but I understand that it’s going to take some training beforehand to get him to not pull me away. He’s very friendly, so friendly in fact that if he sees another dog he’ll pull to say hi to it. I’m really excited to see how far his training can go and how his leash and communication skills will improve. One step at a time.

Tug seems to be her favorite thing to do and guidance to make it enjoyable for us both is really needed. How do you decided when it’s a good time to give your Bull the toy? Does he take it from you at times? There is a power dynamic here that I am not really knowing how to handle with my Lily. Thanks.

That's a beautiful pup. I like it has the maniacal drive, and the smarts. I have an abpt similar, and his issue was always over stimulation/redirection. He's good with all animals aside from some breads of dogs, but never has hurt anything. He see's larger dogs as threats, though he was used as bait. He really is 'breedist'... there's only a handful he wants to take out, and it's because they want to play with him as a wrestling buddy, or they are dominant and insecure. GIve em something to do, make them feel safe and give them direction, they become WONDER PUPS! Mine is a dock diving certified service dog (mind you he's 11 now, so things have slowed down A BIT) But it was funny we were 'social distancing' yesterday, and for about 40 minutes he sat beside me with the leash on the ground. No anxiety, didn't lay down, just sat for 40 minutes while 3 people chatted and other dogs/kids went by, when he got up I took him for a stroll to check things out, but no correction, just expected behavior that he knows will be rewarded or fought. Love this pooch. Can't do much as an outdoors guy in Canada with these lil bastids, need me a full time winter breed for what I do. But this one's great.

19:12 Great answer to why you did not use the prong. I myself have not needed to use a prong collar in years to teach a dog not to pull on the leash. I teach not to pull on a leash pretty much the same way you do but I do something just a bit different. I will actually reverse direction when the dog tugs too much one way. This has worked wonders with my dog Ruby. Plus something I would have done with this dog before the real teaching started is exercise or play first to get out some of that excess energy. I know when I take my Ruby to events with me and if I do not exercise her first before we go she can be such a turd. Great video upstate.

@lisafoster4468 3 жыл бұрын

You might want to put it this way - I heard it once and never forgot. You must be one inch tougher than the dog. No more, no less. If he's sensitive enough to respond to a slip collar, wonderful. No need to go up a step. If not, you need something a little stronger. Undercorrecting is as bad as overcorrecting. While the corrections are never very severe, it's equally true that they'll never stop. You can make one correction and only need that one, or you can be nagging for the rest of their lives.

Try in-home stuff, like you going first thru doors and down/up stairs. Make a command like "wait" or "back" and say it as you block the dog with your legs before you go. After a couple weeks of this, try it on leash inside, then wean into the backyard and outdoors. It seems like a small thing but I got my Dane mix to heel or walk beside/behind me for a long time, when just a few weeks previously she'd pull my arm off.
