Niall, Head trainer at NB Dog Training, shows you how to get a dog who loves to pull on the lead to walk next to you, without dragging you down the street!

I loved your training method. You’re not resorting to harsh corrections that aren’t necessary, and at the same time you’re not bribing the dog to do what you want him to do either. You’re using patience, empathy, compassion , knowledge and skill and the dog is responding to it wonderfully. I’m A dog trainer too, and I respect your methods. ❤️🐶❤️

I really enjoyed this video and your explanation as to why food is not your first go to. There is a lot of R+ confusing things that sometimes make no sense to me so I appreciate the explanation. Please continue to create these types of videos with your thorough explanations. extremely helpful!

Nice demo. This could be my 2 yo male BC. He has always loved being 'out front' and it's been a battle to get any engagement to heel when he has his mind set on a favorite destination. He is better after exercise. I am actively using this style of leash work (as much as I have the patience for) and I am seeing improvement now he is past his adolescent stage (intact male). Mind you he can do a lovely heel when in class but as soon as school is out he will try it on and pull. I soldier on.

Focus on rewarding effort/willingness more than precision, you’ll both find it much more enjoyable, then the more precise stuff is easier!

The reason he pulls is the chest harness Switch to a collar and his instinct to pull will be diminished

@nbdogtraining133 7 ай бұрын

It certainly isn’t helping, that’s for sure! He also pulls because it gets him to the nearest park as quickly as possible, so it’s rewarding!

Can you explain “Push the pressure towards him” please. If the lead is under tension moving your hand towards the dog releases pressure. It is a very confusing statement

@nbdogtraining133 2 ай бұрын

Exactly that. We want the pressure to go off as he moves towards it, by pushing the lead towards the dog we can ensure that he feels an immediate release and understands what he did to make that happen

Overall, a good video. Replace the slip lead with a prong collar. As a 63 year old man, I've trained a pitbull that was dragging a young MMA fighter down the street, do you get the picture??? in 5-10 minutes and automatically sitting at my side when I stopped. He and his partner's jaws dropped and they were snapping photos because they were AMAZED!!! Prong collar and POPPING the collar instead of pulling on the leash. IT'S SO SIMPLE!!! It's not complicated. No food involved. It's called leadership. The turns, etc. are WAY over complicated in the video. If you know what you are doing, the "driveway exercises" are VERY simple and VERY clear that turns the dog into an AMAZING heel. Left side.... right side... doesn't matter.

Thanks, I’m not against the prong at all, however my intent with this case is that dog and owner both learn how pressure works and get the handling etc. correct then if required for more difficult scenarios, we may up to a prong if the owner needs to. So far though he’s absolutely smashing life on his slip since this video so may not need to move on to prong!

@nbdogtraining133 6 ай бұрын

I also don’t ever start with pops, until a solid understanding of pressure and release is in place. Personal preference but I find less pops are necessary and it seems to stick more this way in my experience.

@surpriseitsus9622 2 ай бұрын

That's OK for big strong dogs, but the average dog doesn't need a "pop" or a prong color. I like to take my time, build trust, etc.

@Silverbeardedsurfer 2 ай бұрын

I'd only move towards a prong collar if slip doesn't work. Some dogs will keep pulling even on a slip lead. Or if lives are in danger e.g. Pulling owner into traffic. You can also turn the slip lead into a figure of 8 halter. A bit like a gentle leader. Video should explain which way the slip goes if heeling on the left or right though. A quick pop is the correct correction though.

ive done lots of dog training worked with dogs all my life. I was a groomer for 30 years, but ill health stopped me working. I'm in a wheelchair 24/7. I did have 2 wolves but we lost one recently. she now 10 years old and still pulls on the lead, so I use a gentle leader, she is also very scared of traffic. Can you please give me some advice please. also she is always looking behind us. away from traffic she's pretty good Kay

The main thing would be giving plenty of exposure in a safe way and rewarding any calm behaviour you see. The big challenge would be finding the right environment to do this, you want to make sure it’s not so tough that it sets the dog up to fail!

WTH!! Are you sure you're a dog trainer!? This is the same thing every trainer try's to say.

@nbdogtraining133 6 ай бұрын

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say? Does the dog appear to be learning something here…?

@Otyrap 2 ай бұрын

I don't understand why you would say that. He is trying to give helpful tips to people who want to learn, which is exactly the purpose of his video and reason why people like me watch it to learn from him.
