How to train your dog not to pull- Loose Leash Walking Training Your Cocker Spaniel (Training Your Dog), Nikki

In other words- walking on a loose leash. This video quickly outines exercises to get your dog walking on a loose leash by your side. Put very basically FIRST you will teach the dog what you want them to do! And secondly, stop reinforcing them when they pull! I demonstrate the exercise using a clicker, but if you do not have one, you can always use a verbal marker like yes etc. However you will get much faster and reliable results by using the clicker. If you hold the clicker in the same hand as the leash, and keep the treats in the other hand, you will find it easier to manage. Practice holding the leash, clicker, and treats when you do not have the dog attached to the leash yet, so you dont become overwhelmed. A great book on loose leash walking, or how to stop your dog from pulling is- My Dog Pulls. What Do I Do? by Turid Rugaas You can get this book on www.dogwise.com and other places too. Its very short and has lots of pictures. I would advise against using any forms of positive punishment when teaching any behavior, but especially leash walking, as startling or hurting a dog actually increases their stress hormones in their body causing the dog to be more hyperactive and more likely to become aroused and reactive towards other dogs and people (weather they want to greet them or not). DO NOT DROP THE LEASH! I showed myself dropping the leash on a street with no cars/danger and another person there. This would happen during an emergency, if you trip or fumble. In no ...

  1. Love your videos. Have you ever finished the tutorial for the barrier training? The finished product is amazing Now I’d like to see how YOU do it. I really want to give my clients an alternative to e-fencing but my starts have not been as bomb-proof as yours.

  4. @PossumFang To stop the jumping, what worked for our puppy was to first teach him the sit command. Then, anytime you want to pet him make him sit first, then reward him with a lot of praise. Also, anytime he seems very hyper and crazy, just turn away from him and fold your arms. This will teach him that when he gets to crazy play time ends. After he calms down a little you can resume play time. The most important thing is that you are firm and consistent.

  5. This video was so helpful! After practicing in the house for a little while, we went outside, and it was like I was walking a different dog. They stayed by me, and when they pulled I would call their name, turn the other way then drop a treat. I wish I would have watched this video years ago. I have never tried something that worked so quickly! Thanks!

  6. So click? Like the clickers for dogs? I just adopted a 6 month old Basenji Shepherd mix, and he is very hyper. He jumps on you, and pulls the leash; and I have to constantly pull him around because he wants to be ahead of me. He’s full of energy, and I mainly got him for a good companion; and a walking/jogging buddy. He’s already attached to me, and we have a connection; but he seems to think he can do what he pleases.

    How do I go about this? The walking and jumping?

    PossumFangAugust 5, 2011 @ 11:17 am
  7. @Amelia102938 true but i think dogs needs should be taken into account, making it obsess over your treats the entire walk is travesty. you can easily make the dog not pull naturally the way Cesar does it

    Alexus095August 5, 2011 @ 11:19 am
  8. @Alexus095 Yes, but, by looking at her, he is not pulling, :)

  9. Just want to point out something. While your technique and style of training is great (operant conditioning always works best) there is one flaw I saw in the video. The harness you have Max in. A standard harness is a terrible tool to help with leash walking, they actually promote pulling. Especially in sled dogs like huskies who are bred to pull.
    My recommendation is a gentle lead (a head harness) or a no-pull or Halti harness. I know those probably werent avaiable when this video was posted.

  11. the bigger dog is not ‘calm and relaxed’ and is not ‘doiing what it likes to do, looking around and sniffing’ at all, it looks at you for a treat all the time

    SmooveDoctorAugust 5, 2011 @ 2:26 pm
  16. Lol “Train your dog not to bark”. The dog is barking the whole time in the background. lol.

    bradeaston1August 5, 2011 @ 3:20 pm
  17. Brilliant! I just got a new puppy, and I’m excited to teach her to be a “good dog”…my 8 year old dog is full of bad habits so I’m hoping to break those while training the new dog. Wish me luck!

    trishwinnAugust 5, 2011 @ 3:27 pm
  18. Wow thanks so much

  19. How long does this process take with an older dog?

    LiquidRose84August 5, 2011 @ 4:49 pm
  20. @TheAGdollLuvr it worked on my dog ….so why not :D

    TheAnimallovers96August 5, 2011 @ 4:50 pm
  21. My dog is a year old… Will this work on her?

    TheAGdollLuvrAugust 5, 2011 @ 5:21 pm
  22. you know kikopup (i think thats her name) thinks this is punishment and too physical. personally i think there are times to touch the dog and times to use positive reinforcement. here your using both but i think its appropriate.

    josski32August 5, 2011 @ 6:04 pm
  23. @arisavee I would make high five by putting your hand down but palm up and stay with your hand up but palm towards it. hope that makes sense :P

    BREEBREE758August 5, 2011 @ 6:13 pm
  24. how do you get your dog to know the difference between commands with the same hand signals like hi five and stay?

    arisaveeAugust 5, 2011 @ 6:55 pm
  25. @96MIXA that is also what i have heard. i give my dog a bone every once in a while though.

    tredub91August 5, 2011 @ 7:44 pm
  26. @unityspirit51 i agree!! its not the dogs fault that he/she doesn’t understand what there trying to teach him/her.

    tredub91August 5, 2011 @ 8:28 pm
  27. Ok so I have a 11 month old English bulldog but he gets extremely excited when anyone out of my family gets near him to the point where he won’t listen to any simple commands like sit how can I calm him down so he won’t jump on them or stuff like that?

    vkilla147August 5, 2011 @ 9:18 pm
  28. @PaigIsSuper
    But i heard that giving your dog human food is bad for them. Is that true?

    96MIXAAugust 5, 2011 @ 10:02 pm
  29. @PaigIsSuper
    aaaa….. Now i get it! tnx for the help! :)

    96MIXAAugust 5, 2011 @ 10:16 pm
  30. ya loko dont call your dog stupid.u have 2 find a way 2 teach him a way that he likes a fun way

    HICO42811August 5, 2011 @ 11:05 pm
  31. i tried this, but everytime my dog sees that i have food, she automatically sits and shakes and sits up and won’t listen. and when i toss the food and hold her down, she doesn’t even look at me, she just looks and whimpers at the food :

    PochaPochacc0August 5, 2011 @ 11:29 pm
  32. @96MIXA No, he means actual human food kind of meat, not a dog treat or something. Like pieces of chicken, or hot dog.

    PaigIsSuperAugust 6, 2011 @ 12:15 am
  33. Thanks for your advice! This helped my dog stay and she barely listens to us!

    Justiniscute123August 6, 2011 @ 1:03 am
  34. By real meat do you mean flesh meat? I don’t understand…

    96MIXAAugust 6, 2011 @ 1:49 am
  35. thank you thank you thank you!! I love all your helpful advice… I’ve always enjoyed training my dogs and you have given me a leg up (ha) and extra confidence and solid techniques!

    terisinwaAugust 6, 2011 @ 2:07 am
  36. @BeatlesGirl707 when you offer a treat to a dog, the dog should turn his head away and avoid that hand where the treat is. this is important especially in families where there are also children.

    heartshapedd1August 6, 2011 @ 2:36 am
  37. @BeatlesGirl707 Your dog (or i should yourself) needs cesar millan’s help. The thing that is wrong with your dog is that his owner is not projecting the right energy. Calm and assertive is the way to go in life, with our dogs, kids,jobs…etc. Think about that :)

    marcostottAugust 6, 2011 @ 3:09 am
  38. My Pom comes 75% of the time; he doesn’t come when he’s eating something he shouldn’t or is barking at another dog and stays 70% or so of the time and I didn’t know how to go about fixing the problem of him moving but now I do =D
