Might not work with all dogs, but has nothing to do with the dog’s size and it doesn’t mean that the alternative is jerking your dog around as there are other positive methods that might better suit your dog if this one doesn’t. I think it’s awful when ppl (and I don’t mean you) suggest that “Since the dog is big, you harsh methods”, thanks to Cisar Millan this idiocy has fans. Positive reinforcement might take longer, but seems to always get long term results that are sustainable.

It is far better to change direction 90 degrees instead of 180. A dog is easily moved sideways, and it’s therefore less harmful.

@Nitah89 The idea is not that the loose leash WILL lead to a correction, it is that anytime the dog walks ahead and can’t see the handler, it has no idea what potential action the handler can take. While a competition-type heel (similar to what Sam does) is going to be impractical for long walks, the main idea is for the dog to follow the person. With a healthy balance of reinforcement and correction, any dog can do it.
Great video, and good boy Sam!

Does it works with all dogs?

Make sure you do not talk to the dog while you are working on this. Dogs get excited when you talk and will confuse them. Keep your head high and relaxed and give firm but fair corrections. Once they seem to be getting the hang of it and you are walking with a loose lead, then and only then can you pet the dog for approval or speak and give a good boy compliment.

step 2: The dog will hurry to catch up and as soon as your dog passes you turn around and repeat the step. It can take 5-10 minutes a day to work on it and can take a week or two but keep doing it and they will learn. good luck!

I had a dog that pulled and through lots of research came across a great way to cure the problem. Start with your dog in sit position, without saying a word and with a loose lead start walking at your normal pace. As soon as the dog decides to run in front just turn around and give the dog a quick/easy correction. You must be confident.

One of the doggies got a really bad cough immediately after hitting the end hard. I took him to the vet, who gave him hydrocodone. He coughed and was afraid of the leash for a week (the dog, not the vet). Glad to say, he got over it, and I got over “correction” as a training method. He’s now walking loose-leash better than his buddy.
May 31st, 2010 at 8:10 pm
But wouldn’t the dog associate the un-tence leash with the correction? “Oh no, the leash is slack, now I’ll feel uncomfortable”?

@bubbly384 what i do is randomly give my boys treats when they dont pull, but they dont know when i do and dont have treats, so they’ll be good ALL the time. hasnt really worked yet though…
May 31st, 2010 at 9:09 pm
yeah this would work great but my dog gets all twisted in the leash and he is falling and I am falling…. guess that is what I get for having a POMCHI

@bubbly384 I knew a lady who had one with that same mix and that thing was a terror. Awful dog lol. She was a nice chick and all but that dog was just diabolical and mean.

give food dropped from your mouth to get attention of the dog. Dog will learn that staying close to you it ges food reward, but gets a pinch on the collar if the dog pulls

I wish Roxy would learn!! Shes a german shepard-husky mix, and when she pulls, she PULLS. Whenever she puls, I just stop in place until she stops, and over the weeks, its starting to work. Istill want to train her to stay by my side, so she wont run away. any advice?
May 31st, 2010 at 10:58 pm
well, the idea that i am a person, human. that assumption is already made clear. dogs see characteristic’s of their owner and reflect it on to the others they see, so in retrospect the owner makes the dog =) psychology.

I have a wonderful service animal that is a dog. He’s well trained, well mannered, and very cooperative. My life would be different, and limited, if I were not able to have him in attendance with me. Over the past 18 months, I HAVE LEARNED AND TRAINED to work with HIM. This is the most important part I realized about learning to use my service dog effectively. (see part 2)

(Part 2) The dog is trained; if I don’t learn the proper to way to utilize him and to make sure he stays trained and to reinforce his obedience then, his training will become ineffective. The same principle is applied in training any animal or dog. The OWNER is being trained to utilize these skills effectively so that the owner is able to train the dog. (see part 3)

(Part 3) An additional note, training a companion dog is different from training a service animal. A service animal must have the capability of “intelligent disobedience.” This means that even if I am not aware of my own need, usually medical, my service dog is able to discern this, recognizing the potential that my safety and welfare are at risk, and his “disobedience” is deliberate. (see part 4)
