    1. they haven’t lost their enthusiasm! they’re just engaged with the trainer! once it’s time to play safely that enthusiasm will return in full force. letting a dog be too ā€œenthusiasticā€ with no training can be dangerous depending on the situation!

    2. Idk, man. I’d be pretty scared if my dog showed that “enthusiasm” in a situation where it was unsafe to do so, and he ended up getting himself hurt.

    3. @@emiilyshe I think she looks engaged ans enthusiastic in the first 4 steps, in the last two she seems a lot more subdued. I agree that the enthusiasm has to be channeled often but she didn’t seem problematic in the first four so it looks like a loss to me. (I keep assuming it’s a she but I don’t actually know)

    4. @@terrabelle9937 hmm I don’t see anything in there that could get the dog hurt. What situation were you thinking of specifically?

  1. Instead of a “reminder” you can simply stop walking forward and “deny” access to the walk. Call the puppy back to get it back into position and reward for that position. The continue the walk. Same result and less force.

    1. Nice one….I’ll remember that. I have a 14 year old husky who, being a husky, loves to pull ahead. Too late with this guy, but maybe if I get another dog one day.

    2. Yea, I thought it was easier then this. I do it quicker. We train organically on every walk. Pull ahead, stop or tank em back. For hard headed dogs, make the results of mistakes unpleaserable.

    3. One of the first things you teach a dog is no, and I do like the mother to discipline ( trade secrets lolšŸ˜…)
      Still, any training is better than no training, to each his or her own. I just connect and can train any animal ( dogs, cats, birds even reptiles and fish, without old-fashioned out of date techniques.

  2. Step 5 is superfluous, you can skip it, but the rest is great. Remember that it will take time, and it may seem like each walk you have to start again but they will eventually get the hang of it

    1. @@jedigovna9537what do you mean nope? they’re right. science based training proves that if you bother to read the studies. if you’re smacked over the head everytime you do something wrong you’re likely to take longer to learn, same thing for yanking a dog in a non emergency.

  3. ā¤ Wow! That was superbly accomplished. Your darling poochie was cute to begin with, now he/she looks so precious being such an obedient self composed puppy ā¤ šŸŽ‰

  4. I did none of these. My dogs walk fine. I do the stop and go, yank em in place, have them sit, then walk. Repeat. No joke here.

  5. My dog knows how to heel he just hasn’t been doing it lately. Is there a way I can reenact this engagement from him without too much rewarding?

  6. Just a reminder for everyone this is a puppy which is an easier to train for the time being. So if you try this on your 2 years old or anything not puppy it’ll take a little longer before they grasp the concept unlike a puppy.

  7. What if my dog sits to screw his kibble/treat and break the heel? šŸ˜… every single time he gets it he sits to eat slowly lol

    1. Eventually when you use random rewards, this shouldn’t be toooo much of an issue. Most of training the ā€œtreatā€ should serve as a lead.

      Optionally you could use a long treat like a bully stick, so you can still hold the food while they chew on it.

  8. šŸ˜‚ have a large
    Amount of treats in your pocket before beginning step 1: ā¤ excellent video- thank you

  9. Best video I’ve seen on this so far! But once the treats are less frequent how to we make sure they stay consistent and listen?

  10. I never really use treats to train a puppy but everyone has their own technique that works for them.

    1. If food driven enough, you can just use kibble instead of treats. Albeit, as long as you’re not free feeding.

  11. We practice with a wall, so the dog can’t go left or right, but had to walk in a straight line. And you can Block him with your leg when the dog want to walk in front of you. So you teach the dog it is a normal way so you don’t always have to lure and reward. The goal is your dog must follow you and not the treat. ā¤
