Sir please start a complete puppy training series so everyone can understand better. Keep up the good work!

👍💪 Puppy training series would be great to see.

We need more puppy training vids pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Watching this for my 9 wk old Cane Corso puppy. My dog will walk on a leash, sits and goes to door to go potty. I open the door wide and she sits before walking out of door. Thanks to Joel.

Outstanding series! Someone who truly understands that a dog is a dog and need to be treated as such. Thanks for the work.

Pickles is such a cute dog! All the more reason to teach her to be her best and not get away with bad behavior just because she's small or cute. It's great the owners got training for her right away so she has a better life as a well behaved dog. Thank you for this super puppy training video!

I’ve got a 12 week old puppy and I could use more videos like these! Please continue this series!

"You can't punish a behavior the dog doesn't know." Damn, I wish more people who try to train their own dogs knew that one! I've seen so, so many of them use punishment in an attempt to *teach* the behavior -- they think that if a dog gets harshly corrected until they get it right, they'll get it right faster. Usually, all that happens is that the dog shuts down in fear and stops being able to learn at all until it stops.

Pickles is adorable!

This is a great video! Please make more puppy training session videos!~

The correcting helped on our Havashu (mix between a Bichon Havanese & Shih-Tzu). I know you say, that you dont like it too much on small dogs, but it worked wonders. She is now 1 years old and SO good on a leash. She isnt reactive on leash when there are other dogs, she only looks at other dogs, like she's curious. Your videos are truly a life saver! :D

i love your method, it has been working great on my old dogs ! please do more videos on puppy trainning, i just had a new puppy comming home. a big fan from Vietnam

Definitely we need more puppy vids!!! Your loose leash works like a charm on my 9-yr-old pitbull but I found a 6-mo-old pitbull and help! lol 🤗🤗🤗

I love your videos. I think it's important to know that harnesses are beneficial because when a dog pulls on a leash attached to a collar, it can cause extreme problems like collapsed trachea, which causes the dog to gag and struggle to breathe at times. (like excitement)

This was exactly what I needed to see. Thank you!

6:11 melted my heart, that's where puppies defeat me

Love your reasonable approach to this puppy!

Joel, great content once again. Thank you 👏🙏

Omg, this is perfect , I have a 3 month old staffie who I’m trying to get used to walking on leash. She pulls and chocks herself out ! I’m switching from collar to this ! Thank you !

Man this is really great info. I just subscribed. We just got our puppy at 8 weeks & he's now 10 weeks old. I will try this for sure. Thank you

Man I honestly love your videos. So informative. I never click on videos so fast! We have a 11 week old chocolate lab pup and we will be using your guidance from this video going forward. Thank you for everything! :)

thank you for this! im getting a 9 week old puppy soon and hope you post more puppy sessions!

Loved watching actual training in action. Loved the details… how much treat each time, what to do when they don’t really do what you asked. This was super valuable. Thank you!

Thank you for this puppy video 🙏🐕🐾

Great stuff, I would love to see more puppy sessions!

She picked it up so fast! What a cutie!

I am getting a pull in the next couple of weeks, I am so grateful for all the information you give!

So glad to see you did a puppy video since I always wondered what you meant by being gentle with them. Could you do a video about fear/dog reactive puppies? Mine was unfortunately undersocialised when we got her

When I adopted my adult 70 lb pitbull, I tried walking him with only his collar and a leash, and he had such a bad pulling habit that he pulled a muscle in my shoulder pretty badly! Some dogs like a big pitbull can pull hard enough to hurt a person, which mine did. I ended up using a gentle leader. which was great. We have finally worked it out now that he does not need the gentle leader any longer. The leash is loose!

I have watched your videos for the last year. I love the balanced methods. Got a Havanese recently. Today little Fabio, 6 months, discovered your method too with this video. He sat down and watched from putting the leash to the end. Very cute. I think you’re a hit.

Fantastic video. I’m learning dog training as I would love to be a dog trainer as a hobby. Thank you for your help. 🐶

Wow just watching it again helped me🤗

This is great, I'll have to re-watch it when the time comes to leash-train our future Beagle puppy, who will move in with us end of November. Watching your videos definitely helps with the puppy jitters,.

Just found your videos. Previously had a wheaten terrier. Great dog, submissive enough that training was a breeze. Loved him for 12 years. His successor is an Airedale terrier puppy who is now 5 mo old. VERY smart and sweet but more willful than my wheaten was. She has learned all her basics already but thought I might need some help with training a more assertive puppy. 6 week AKC puppy class ended up being a waste of time. She already knew what they were teaching and it was all treats and positivity. When I asked for help on specific problems, like avoiding a collar grab, they smiled and shrugged. So disappointing. She’s getting bigger and has decided it’s okay to not do as I ask, even with a treat sometimes. Thanks for helping me understand I can’t expect perfection at this point and that I can be slightly firm with her if needed. She’s currently a velociraptor (fast with lots of teeth) and jumping and mouthing are an issue. I’m way more confident that we’ll get through it and she’ll be a great dog in the end with your methods. She really does want to please, I just need to train myself with your help to show her how great life can be when she follows me. Please never stop making these videos.

Our 11 week black lab (boing! boing! boing! 🤣😂🤣) has been here 2 weeks and is ready for some lessons. Wonderful, smart, energetic when not sleeping, brave etc. Sleeps thru the night in an indoor pen. Starting sit, down, stand, spins, off, off-leash come to heel position (then free to run again). Sits for meals and before doors, excellent recall to name, runs into both large and small crates (not locked in more than a minute yet), beginning retrieve and drop... veeerrrry food motivated. 😋 One very short leash lesson went well...tug, call, treat 👍Not on a walk yet. Potty on pads getting better, potty outside increasing. Labra-gator mouthing with shark teeth is insane...I'm wearing leather gloves while trying to inhibit it.

Once again, Thank you!!

Pickles is so dang cute and sweet 🤩

This dog is so much like my Cockapoo with the wiggling and wanting a belly rub 😂

He is great with Pickles. She is so small and beautiful 😍.

I’m binge watching you and this is MUCH more my comfort level with my 3 month old… a trainer came over and yanked his neck to quiet him in his crate. I found cheese and cucumbers to be a MUCH better pacifier. Switching back to my harness 🫡

youre awesome man.

Agree with everyone puppy series would be great!!

I'd love a serie of videos to guide us throughout the education of a puppy

This is great! Thx.

Great video

I love your videos and feel like you're giving the best advice and tips around here, but sometimes it seems too easy when you do it. I have been able to put the harness and leash on when I'm feeding my puppy. But whenever I stop, the puppy starts to struggle and try to bite the harnnes and the leash. I would like more videos of dogs that are having this kind of difficulty and how to fix them.

not sure if you've already done one but a tour of your property would be cool as it relates to the dogs! it looks like at 4:13 the dogs are fenced off but can watch and see what's going on which they probably enjoy. thanks for all your content, we just got 2 puppies and i've been looking for a good youtube channel and this is it for sure

it should be illegal to have a dog this dang cute in a video. i mean prince is cute and all but pickles got him beat by a country mile

Thank you so much

I have been attempting with limited success the loose leash walking techniques, not pulling etc with a 5 month old great pyrenees...so much patience must be used.

Yes, more puppy training videos please. We have one 4 months-old toy poodle mix Bichon. She only can do her business on the grass, which I hated. Grass in North Carolina is full of critters.

Thank you :)

Perfect. Found this just as I needed it, exactly when I needed it. Thank you. More would be awesome... and maybe something on how to correct a tiny (7 years old) who can't be on collar because it would injure his trachea? (yeah, I'm insane enough to have both LOL)

Yes please. !!!! I just got my puppy he is 2 months old and a American bulldog boxer mix. I want to make sure I’m doing everything properly so he grows into a stable healthy happy dog !! I’m nervous as he is going to be big so I want to be ready and responsible

What an easy puppo. My puppy was turning to bite the harness and then bite the leash. This pup is half asleep just going with it 😅

youre the best

Can I add that this method worked with my older, much bigger 9 month-old in a harness as she will not wear a collar after her previous owner used a prong collar and cheap shock collar which would burn holes in her neck? The correction is a little different than with a collar, I use my wrist in an upward direction rather than the low side pull Joel uses with a gentle leader, it took me about 20mins to stop her pulling like a freight train. She now heals perfectly after a week.

I've got a 3 month old American Terrier mix that we rescued. I've seen some videos of your dog correction training with Bosco and Prince and was highly impressed. Going to go through your videos to inform myself better on how to train my puppy. She's awesome and I've got some progress but I'm ignorant in puppy training. Her and my daughter have become best friends but she's in the teething stage so I'm cautious at this time. Ice cubes and frozen carrots seem to be helping.

Pickles, I ❤ u

Before watching you we literally got our dog a harness to reinforce his pulling just cause we didnt want him choking himself.

I am re watching this video again :)

Hi Joel! First of all, excellent channel and very helpful content. I know you said in another video that leash reactivity is best achieved at around 9 months as the dog's brain is more mature. I have a 4 month Rhodesian mix that weighs 17 kg already and LR only functions when we're alone or little distraction. At the sight of people and other dogs, he flies. What advice can you give for strong puppies like him? Thank you so much!

Do you have a video about walking a puppy with an older dog? Very interested, love your content!

The 2 month old Great Dane is resource guarding my bed and couch! Can you do a video on that! I’ll go back and look in case you have some info on that.

Puppy training series would be great! I would pay to see it.

I’d love to see some puppy training with giant breeds! Happy to volunteer mine 😂 2 and 4 month old Great Danes. I feel like I have to be very strong towards training bc of their size but they are still just puppies. Feeling guilty over here.

Loving the channel, I have been trying your method with my new German Shepard puppies, and so far it's challenging as I am doing both at the same time. But I am only doing 15 min max on the sessions and I am seeing improvements 👏

Very useful though I think in my situation we need to let our little puppy age up a bit more

Question I have a lab cross (pittie I think) who is just over 4 months old. He PULLS… should I be doing the puppy loose lease training or your older dog method with the small pop to correct? He is super strong even at 30lbs.

ive never seen you use slip leads, i love them. what do you think?

We have 3 months old golden retriever, it gets in to fight with me , my dad when ever we control her from grabbing things and other mischief . She has become very dominant. Your suggestions would be of great value.

I have a 5 months labernese that is 50 pounds, when should I start fading out the harness and have some leash corrections?

Great video , what do you do for digging? Or eating poo? Thanks

You should make a video and sell it, literally.. i'm too impressed

At what age would it be ok to leash correct? If it’s an older puppy and you still pop slightly to the side will it damage his neck?

I have a 5 month old . He’s a big puller what type of collar would u recommend?

Can you do a video with a large 5 month old dog please and more with two dogs at a time. I have sibling husky german Shepard mixed and I’ve been walking them separately. Is it too soon for the gentle leader collar? Should I walk them together?

My 4 mo old standard poodle is strong already. She yanks my arm pretty good. She pulls me. I need to nip this pulling in the bud. Hate the puppy harness. Don’t know what else to do/use

I have a very small breed puppy (around 6 lbs) in an area of the country that gets very cold. He's high energy, but during long stretches of the year it's too cold to take him out for walks. Also, I'm older and disabled and frequently am unable to take him out even in good weather. I know it's a departure from what you usually do, but it would be really helpful if you could do a video on how to teach a dog to walk on a treadmill. I've tried, but he just gets terrified as soon as it moves and refuses to move forward.

So are harnesses better for younger smaller dogs? Or are regular collars preferred?

I have a 6 month old rough collie. It is rare that he ever gets ahead of me on a walk - instead he is lagging so far behind me. What would the correct correction be for this???

Can you show how to solve problem with dogs that get anxiety/shut down with a harness? Ears go to the side and tail is tucked in back; doesn’t eat treats because of high anxiety and almost crawls over to a spot and lays there and won’t move. Various techniques have failed: treat, treat, treat, touching with harness, leave harness on in the house, distract by doing it at favorite location. Not fear based I don’t think as dog eats treats off of it, walks by it, smells it and even lays next to it.

What do you think of a house line? Many trainers on KZfaq recommend it, but my small pup likes keep chewing on it and every time it's like a fight when trying to take it out from her mouth...btw, great to see some videos of small breed training!

I just got a 6wk old blue heeler that will eventually be trained as a PTSD dog for my daughter.... I want to start her basic training asap followed by good dog then her specific task... What is the general age does each stage need to be expected to be done/mastered by? I dont want to rush her or expect to much from her to soon

Would I still do this same thing with my 6 month old puppy and my 14 month old puppy? I am having a lot of pulling from both dogs. And they are barking at a lot of things. Bella my 14 month old will bark when there isn’t even anything there as soon as I take her outside and she barks at other people and dogs. My 6 month old pulls and barks at everything. Any tips would be great! Thanks!

I have a 5 month old German pointer lab cross. He's getting quote tall now and still pulls on lead. Am i OK to use the correction method properly or is he too younge? I use collar and lead not sure if gentler would be better now? Thank you very much

My 14 week old pom fights getting the harness on so much. Was hoping pickles might fight a little so I could see what you’d do

I do the moving when my puppy doesn't do the right thing, I say I'm "changing the context". Basically repositioning myself and the dog without adding more commands cause he has a short attention span and we can start over new..

I have an 8 month old chihuahua that kinda keeps to herself and a 3 month old husky mix. My husky keeps rough playing and nipping my chihuahua. What should I do about this?

What age would you begin this training?

I have a basset hound. She sniffs the whole walk, would your method still work on a basset. She stays on one side, she is getting better with the pulling (trying your method) but what about sniffing? she is 2 years old.

What should I do my 4 month old chow chow starts freaking out when I take him for a walk and other dogs bark at him or tries to approach every dog

my adult dog is the size of Pickle. I’ve been using a slip lead to teach loose leash walking. should I be using a harness then? is there danger that the loose leash will hurt his neck?

Can you or explain how to do this with multiple dogs at once? I have three dogs and normally take two at a time.

You say we can fix pulling later and we need to be mellow with these young dogs. Pickles is 4 months old. At what age is it appropriate to be "less mellow" and more "hard core" on fixing the pulling?

This morning my puppy got out of her harness!! We were right behind my house when the neighbor’s mean female pit barked at us frantically! Lilly got loose, but luckily she was too tired to run far. She was biting me hard on both hands as I tried to put her harness back on. It seemed like a half hour before I could put it back on! Why does Petsmart sell that garbage? The Doctor was right about it! I’m getting her a new gentle leader! She has escaped from her collar too! She has a big chest and a small neck.😎🌺🐶🦋🐲🐳🐕

At what age is it ok to start teaching this to a puppy?

I have a 5month old papillon mix boy. He is very small and me and my family loves it when he jumps up on us. He is so small that it does not bother. Is this a mistake? I do want him well trained.... it is just him being happy to see us and showing affection, but I do wonder if it is healthy to allow it. Thanks in advance

i just got a second dog long haired chihuahua who's about 1-2 yrs old and she could not figure out even how to sit, I"ve had lots of dogs and I trained the other one easily where I've never ran into this problem before. I tried to push her butt down, luring, nothing I could think of works. Do some dogs just not get it? She like treats but she seems completely untrainable so far, any ideas?

OMG! This is GREAT! But do you have advice for some serious puppy nipping/biting? I'm losing my temper its so bad
