I could hear this man say “calm, consistent, loving leader” literally ALL DAY

Exactly! It's just like if your kid is stressed and scared. If you become calm and firm in the situation and you let them know/ feel that you got this, you got their backs and they don't need to worry, they are going to calm down and look to you to feel safe. Dogs need reassuring that they can trust you.

We have started using your advice with our pooch and have seen almost an instant change. Please keep making these videos. And thank you.

Correct! Plant the leadership 💪🏼

Thank you Will. I will i will give this instruction a good consistant go with my dog.

Great I realize if I remain calm so does Leo..

My 8 month old Chapo is doing so good.... A work in process, but certainly a better dog, than before. Thank you, Mr. Atherton! 🤗

So grateful for the clean clarity and wisdom, and truth of the information you put out. Again, grateful for you. Thank you

You are by far the very best most helpful trainer full of consistently beneficial positive reinforcement that always works. I will say I still work daily with a pulling walk pup but it’s so much better and I’m confident we will eventually get to an easy loose leash walking habit.

Thanks for all you do to help us owner properly lead our fur friends!

Nice white German shepherd!

Absolutely love these shorts, I'm constantly picking up new tips to help with my pup. Thank you!

Great point! I can't wait to try it!!

2nd !❤🇨🇦 Thank you, I will start doing this. My farm dog shepherd Jack needs to chill, when I walk him in town. He's come a long way for a pup born into a situation of wild dogs, in the great frozen Canadian north. He's two now, will take on a bear, or a moose without hesitation, but he's aggressive when it comes to dogs. Mostly fear. I'm gonna keep watching. Thank you again, from an old grandma in northern Ontario Canada❤🇨🇦 Your video's are great, by the way.

I have a male Bandog puppy (Bull mastiff x pitbull mum an Pitbull dad) I want to thank you for these instructional videos. Helping shape him into a confident, successful happy boy.

"good girl" - and Millie started smiling 😊

Starting this tomorrow morning Alongside my 12 yr old daughter & 6 mth old cane corso Rue 🖤🐶✨😊🇨🇦thank you for your videos! Watching them daily

Thank you Will!

Great point

Thank you!

Love this guy!!

Great advice, as always.

Hi I have started to watch you only in the last month.. got new gsd pup 8weeks old and with your advice she was potty trained in 3 days she knows her name she sits on command and puts up the paw when I say hello..yes I use treats..thank you..keep up the good work. I have learnt a lot....pat Ireland

Thank you for this little gem of info

My doberman came from a 20 yr blood line. Basically came out of the box. Able to follow commands and stacked perfectly

Great advice, beautiful dog btw

I will definitely use this

Great advice 👍🏻 thank you 😊

That's a good one.

Good one!

That dog is absolutely beautiful ❤

Thank you. I have just been using a couple of your things you have given and they are working like magic. Thank you

Will, you are so gracious in sharing your knowledge with us. You are Brilliant. Thank you.

Great stuff. Love the boots!

Beautiful, so precious! Thanks very much!!!

Thanks for sharing this❤

Will thanks man you have taught me so much on my cane corso journey and I now have an amazing 19 month old boy who's a joy ... but the number one this is never stop even when you think you've cracked it don't let the bad habits slip in !!! Keep it up man !! 🐾🦍✌️💙

Thanks for the tip!

Amazing advise .

Awww my Aussie’s name is Millie!

Ooh I like that one. I've always been in the habit of putting my dog to a sit when I stop. My problem is now trying to figure out how to change the speed of the paces when we walk. I always walked fast but now that I have arthritis in my ankle and I'm legally blind I still have 25% of my vision I'm not always sure where I'm going, I have a beautiful red golden and she is amazing and I want to get the most out of her. She is picked up on my anxiety and has learned how to calm me when I'm anxious but now I would like to make her my service dog I'm having a tough time finding a Handler or trainer that can help me. I have trained a lot of dogs before I lost my vision now it's a little scary.

Watching him for a bit and he spot on

Mine sits before going inside … your on point I love your content and they puppies you work with so beautiful ❤

Absolutely 💯 accurate!! Thank You 😃👍🏼

I’ve never thought of this. Awesome. Ty

OK ty

Wow, our highly reactive/aggressive Mastiff Shepherd rescue is really responding to this. For the first time before going out the door, he is looking up to me for the okay to go out the door. I can't wait to try it the next time the doorbell rings, and he loses his mind. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice, I will try this, kind regards, Joanne 🐺

Thanks Will, reactivity seems like my last hurdle with my 1yr old gsd. My first gsd.

Sawat Diiiii Khrap (“Hello” - Thai Transliteration) from Phuket, Thailand….. Will….. I really like these short videos (2-3min) you’ve started that focus in on one (1) specific training tip. Not everybody has 30min at one time to watch a full length production….: ) But…. We all have a few minutes here and there throughout our day where we can watch several short clips, covering different tips. Keep up the Good Work…. Cheers…

I didn't know that! Thank you so much for sharing this information

I tried that once with my dog Yennifer. At the time i actually had the collar on my waist, soon it went down to my legs. She hopped right over my leg and ran off. She dragged me with the leash for about 2 minutes before it snapped

The way the dog has its ears tiled back 😂

What kind of dog is this. Absolutely beautiful

That would be our right foot … for us Americans. 😊

Roger that I'll try it with our 2

Great tips as always! Thank u 😊

Thank you for this trick!! I will add this into my pup's daily walks...

lesson no. 1... thanks 👏👏👏

I love this mans presence and demeanor, I bet he's like 6'5!

Great advice!! I’m going to start this with my new baby! He’s two and a little reactive. I think he would respond well to this. Thank you!

got my subscription

I will try this on my neurotic Labradoodle!...will let you know how I get on.

William , i have started doing this with my Doberman, as sometimes he becomes reactive to bicyclist on our walks. Doing this method has really helped, me with my boy . Thank you so much for the tip .

Gotta try that!

Beautiful dog. Yes this truck really helps with reactivity I see dogs infront of their owner and they are much more likely to become reactive especially if they are on a tight leash and they are not confident or nervous animals in the first place. This tactic allows your dog to look to you for direction, they see that you are calm and it communicates what is expected of them. He's a great trainer!

nice advice mate as usual 💚

Thanks for the dog training tip.

I'm definitely going to try this with my reactive dog, we're making progress but that may help me a lot

Omg she's adorable,what breed is she?

I love your accent. Good advice.

Lol. My dog used to put his paw always on my food, so I changed the game and now I'm doin it. So she knows who is in charge now

My dog disrespects the hell out of me 😂 he's a good boy but DAMN. I'm going to try this thank you sir 🙏

Are you from the UK Also amazing tip never would’ve thought to do this.

I must try!

Thank you for this, as i was doing this uintentiionally knowing if this helped or showed lack of control. So i am glad that i just trusted my instincts

I'm amazed by the quality of this. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was a true revelation. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember

The way he talks to her in a lil sweat voice while his actual voice is that of a viking is heartwarming 😂❤

♥️🌹🐾

I'm curious how my husky will take this, he is used to us both making decisions .🤔😂

i do this naturally with my puppy, glad to hear it's a good idea

This is gold advice dude

We gonna start practicing this tomorrow!

This guy knows his stuff , so many are popping up these days 😮, but this guy is good end off !

i plant flags when i go for walks except there for the pop i have to come back and pick up when i forget a bag

Good girl ❌ "gOoD gEaIrL" ✅

Instructions unclear I stepped on my dogs foot

My family has a similar idea, it's where you put your foot over gently but firmly in front of the back paw or on the front paw. All though my dad was training hunting and hopefully one day assistance dogs.

Easier said than done when you’re a big tall dude 😂

I do this with my dog all the time and if something is going on that makes him nervous, like bicycles going by, he rests his cheek against my thigh. He's partially blind, so this physical contact helps him know I'm there for him.

Never occurred to me that British people and others who drive on the left would also heel left with their dogs 🤯 or maybe just a leftie idk. Always taught the duck retrievers commands for heeling and returning on the right

Best dog trainer on YT by far.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I need to try that

Good that i have this habit from minecraf

I do this naturally without thinking, even going up the stairs to the apartment my leg is in front of him.

I do something slightly different, I specifically tell my dog to stop, so that when we get to crossings etc she stops when told, and doesn't walk on until told. Also very effective

AWWWWW, SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE MY 3RD GENERATION POMSKY, PRINCESS MOMO!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

You the best of communication how do you train a dog

Will, someone steel your flannel? Good advice.
