As always THANK YOU for watching, In every video I answer every one of your dog training questions so don't forget to leave your dog training questions in the comments below!
That must drive the owners nuts when Tom hooks her up and she is instantly perfect! 😜
I totally melted when he softly said: "good heel" and "what a wonderful girl"! :) You can hear in his voice he really likes what he does, and he is enjoying the good behavior in a dog. Unlike some of the other trainers that are almost obsessed with dominance and overpowering the dog into behavior.
You are by far the best handler trainer on youtube! Clarifying the "pop" in this video was awesome!
Check out Larry Krohn, he’s awesome too!
Demontrating the popping on the guardian is what I’ve been wanting to see, I wondered what you meant. Thank you! I’m glad the guardian isn’t the one who needed the correction except for holding on to the dog’s end of the leash. LOL!!!
I love this guy because he often uses the words "humane" and "compassion". That, coupled with his excellent technique is all I need to hear.
So very beautiful to watch Tom help the dogs.
I tried your “pop” technique and just WOW! Instant results on 100 GSD. It took 2 pops and then I switched back to flat collar. He performed beautifully and became way calmer and happy!!!
Awesome, Melissa!!! How is the dog on the flat collar......my GSD knows when the prong is on and thats the only way to contain her "drive".......
Perfect example for good balanced training. Good job, Tom! 🐕❤
I think the endgame Tom is trying to teach us is showing the dog confidence and leadership in a calm demeanor. Dog's pick up on our stress levels. If you notice, Tom keeps his arm and the lead in a very relaxed loose position and does a quick tug only to correct the dog if needed. The dog's aim is to please its master, but the dog needs to be taught with precise communication, structure, rules and above all positive reaffirmation every time it does the right thing.
Positive reaffirmation works wonders in building the love and the bond between owner and dog. I know my voice goes up a few octaves when I gave my dog, Max my German Shepherd positive praise.
I got Max as a puppy way back in 1993. It's hard when we finally lose our dogs to old age, it's heartbreaking. But now that I've retired Aussie and after my visit to the USA in July 2020, I'm seriously thinking about getting a rescue dog for the German Shepherd rescue center in South Australia, where I live in Australia.
I'm sure will be a lot of unwanted Christmas puppies given up for adoption once the cute puppy stage has vanished and the dog is growing into an adult dog and the kids and or parents put training this dog "in the too hard basket" which is so sad. Our dogs are a lifetime commitment, not a six-month to eight-month trial.
Great and helpful video, Tom. It was interesting watching the dog with the owner and her ears were straight up and she seemed very stimulated. With you she was very relaxed and her ears for the most part were down and relaxed. With this video you could really tell how relieved she was to have someone in control. I'm glad that you demonstrated the correction technique of not pulling hard but quick.
@TomDavis you should do a show where you invite some of the dogs back, be interesting to see the true life progress
Glad I found your channel. I have a soon to 11 month old golden doodle. I can’t walk her she pulls me and id be running. She loves everyone but... she jumps to hug on everyone. I put a leash on her and step on it so she won’t jump up on grandkids or whoever. I almost gave here away once as it has been wearing me out. I love her and couldn’t imagine life without her. You do a great job! Thanks.
I love that GSD pit mix. such an obvious sweet dog🐾❤️!
Thank you soo much I have a German Shepherd and he always pulls
Thanks for watching!
I have a 3 year old German Shepherd and he will pull your arm out nothing works. I've been trying for 3 years. LOL.. 🤪 I had German Shepherds before none of them gave me problem like he does. He is also very skittish. Good luck with your pup.🐶
Gloria Dorlich yes same
Upstate Canine Academy thanks
@@emisvideos3518 🙃
Tuning back up: priceless. Works like a charm for my multi Sheperd/ Malamute/Husky/ bulldog/Russell Terrier, Beautiful, strong Mutt💕😁
Love your videos!! Everytime I watch i just want to share them to the world. You truly have a gift!!
I just subscribed Tom, I'm binge watching now, as soon as my husbands home he will be subscribing also, so happy I found your channel we have a cross bedlington three years old , the friendliest dog ever, he is very strong willed , the problem being hes been allowed to have his own way, so hence the binge watch.Thank you Liverpool U.k
Omg lmao 🤣 The music at the end in the last clip of going over the “pop“ 😂😂
thanks so much for teaching how to antiscipate redirection-- i could get better at the pop vs. that pulling thing. Day 3 with a nervous rescue shepherd and this helped correct me a bit. thanks again!
LMFAO 10:23 Owner drops it multiple times! Hahaha! Idky, bit its super funny!!
You make that look so easy...it almost breaks my heart. I have a blue nose pitty that everyone has given up on. Wish I knew someone around me like you. This dog needs help.
Ugh I’m going through the same thing! The shelter actually lied to me initially, then admitted that the dog was returned over three times due to the disobedience and they really needed to rehome her. It’s so sad and I’m overwhelmed and don’t know what to do
@@noseyandneutral mine was abused terribly. She has scars now after 2 1/2 years that won't go away. One of her previous owners used the wrong kind of shock collar, and the metal prong collars which left left scars all around her neck. I have used much much patience, tons of time, and more love with this one than ever before...it's draining very at times but every tiny improvement brings relief and joy to my soul. I was probably her last hope so I cannot give up. We are both growing because of other people's failures. Hang in there, they are worth the battle!
You are one of the best dog trainer I really enjoy the video
I love that the owners identified the dog's individual problems and their problems as owners trying to train them. So many dog owners would just throw their dogs in the backyard and say "I guess that's all we can do with them."
Love your content Tom! I have a helpful hint for you "Leash pop" demo with clients... Have them hold the loop handle of the leash around their wrist (like when walking). They won't be able to let it go this way!
Fantastic work once again! You're doing alot of owners and their dogs a great service man
Very good session thank you again 😮
I love that I've finally discovered something that seems to work. I havent picked up the tools I need just yet, and I'm excited to retrain my dog. But I'm pretty pissed off that I wasted so much time training with ineffective techniques. I've done purely positive training with all my dogs but I now have a 1yr old pitbull Belgian malinois mix and he is a whole lot of dog. Hes good he knows his commands but he chooses to ignore me about 30% of the time and 100% of the time in the face of any distraction no matter how small. We exercise and train every single day since he was 6 weeks old I feel like he should be much further along by now.
Hahahaah......I was just like you...until I got a police line GSD.....VERY "HARD" dog to say the least!! You MUST impliment a prong collar...it WILL change your relationship, leash walking, etc!!
@@ABCdogtraining802 I got a prong collar I'm not super comfortable with correcting him for not listening just yet but loose leash walking is a breeze now and he doesn't jump anymore. Which were my two biggest problems with him. I've only had to actually pop the leash twice for jumping, and just light pressure when walking is enough for him. I'm so proud of him and you can tell hes proud if himself too, we finally understand each other.
@@blair2486 Sounds great. Have fun. Youll know when its time and once behaviors are known.
Wow, amazing!! Loved the end, it was very funny watching that
Used a slip collar on my new rescue dog and our Rottie they work wonders in 10mins! Also always used pressure release on my rescue horse it's great
Good refresher on the pop vs pull for me. Thanks
Thanks for the details on the pop! You are great!
Would it be possible to caption the parts where its difficult to make out what's being said?
Or just buy some good microphones?
Our crazy puppies act perfect for the trainer as well😂🤪
Great work! really interesting to understand dog psychology through good training!
Awesome video! Made me laugh when you had the dog owner hold onto the leash 🤣🐕 But thats how we learn ! 👏 👏
the leash pops gave me a good laugh
6:15 literall tears me up in joy for the dog❤ stress relief, peace
Great video. Thank you for all you do. We have seen great results with the slip collar but there are sometimes when a correction doesn’t work because of too much stimulation going through our 9 month old lab’s brain. Our trainer recommended an ecollar for unwanted behavior/ correction only, saying it will gives us a more consistent correction. The ecollar has worked wonders and is rarely used but when it’s used, there are good results. Watching your videos, it seems like we shouldn’t be using the ecollar for corrections at first. Should we introduce the ecollar for basic commands and not corrections?
Also, what size Herm Sprenger would you recommend for a growing 50lb lab. Our trainer doesn’t use them but I feel as though they are a great tool watching you use them for dogs who don’t always react good with the slip collar.
I found a martingale style head halter for my two. I love it because it does let the pressure off. Slip leads made pulling worse for my dogs, and didn't help for reactivity.
I would say that you can tell by her body language she's stressed. Ears back, wide tongue, leaning.
Don't take that the wrong way. Dog's that don't learn how to deal with stress aren't well behaved dogs. Life is stressful! My biggest issue with some positive only training is that they use food to lure or distract dogs from things that are a stresser. Which doesn't actually help the dog make a decision at all! I think there's a balance needed for true obedience training.
As always, ACE by name & advice.. .
I’ve learned so much from this channel. Why not also use positive reinforcements with treats to hit it from all angles though?
There’s so much positive reinforcement in this video it’s silly.
That’s why I said “with treats”. The question was why don’t you use treats.
Hyper reactive Shep lab mix used these techniques on worked well except when squirrel,buses,bikes, strangers,wind. Now I have profound muscle weakness so pulling dangerous.His rescue buddy walks well,ignores came,has him calmer over all but need types on walking assistive devices
Years ago, we had neighbors who used those head harnesses on both their dogs: a Basset Hound and a Golden Retriever. They were both constantly fighting against it, it seemed to be incessantly irritating their faces, and never have I seen dogs so miserable, even while just standing still.
Brilliant video! I really like the way you explain the thinking behind, it is very easy to understand and to follow, encouraging a positive interaction with the dogs. Thank you so much for sharing
Your videos are a blessing! 🙏❤ tysm!
I agree Tom the Industry is nasty at the moment, well it has been for some time. Nice to see you back. I am not a fan of head collars on dogs, they always look unhappy. I get the feeling she was happy when you took it off. Thanks : )
My golden Retriever will walk to heel on the roads, but as soon as we're on grass he's nose down, yanks and pulls, totally goes deaf on me because he is obsessed and i mean obsessed with sniffing. He's 2 now and I'm considering having him neutered to see if that helps.
Please go for it I've been shocked by what a difference it makes and it's a good thing to do even if you aren't having behavioral issues. Honestly, something I've learned with all my dogs is that it's so much easier to avoid issues by setting the dog up for success by early neutering, tons of exercise every day, and clear communication (+ learning how the dog thinks and learns) vs taking a dog who has habitulized problematic behavior and working to undo those issues.
My dog is my life and has had great training but the first two years were definitely the hardest and it takes time for the dog to mellow out as he gets a bit older but if your dog isn't neutered then it's going to be so sOOOOO much harder, he may never mellow out fully because he is raging with testosterone and even though he wants to please you he can't help but be a slave to that intense drive that he simply isn't able to turn off. Imagine having the horny body of a teenage boy where your entire biology is pushing you to have sex every second of the day but you aren't able to ever relieve that intense urge and you can't help but to act out a bit from sheer and utter frustration. That is exactly what your pup is going through, he isn't choosing to misbehave, he's a slave to his intense hormons and you can help him by removing that obstacle for him so why let him suffer. He won't be upset with your for neutering him (I thought that too at first).
The attention issue you describe is exactly what I experienced with our first family dog (when I was a teen) that wasn't neutered, he had a lot harder time listening so I've been very careful about this with my dogs as an adult and made sure to have them all neutered and there is a huge difference, the dogs mind isn't clouded and he is set up to succeed from the beginning. I definitely recommend at least talking with a vet who can explain things a bit more, I'm sure you love your pup and only want the best for him and just like with kids sometimes dog parents have to do things the dogs may not like that are in the dogs best interest long term. Best wishes with your sweet boy :)
@@avivamae5171 I've left all my previous dogs entire and never had any problems with them training wise, they've all been totally chilled and compliant. It's just this one i have the problem with. His sister is an obsessive sniffer too, although not quite as bad as mine. Neutering is the last resort for me and i certainly wouldn't have considered it before he was 2yrs, for hormones and bone growth reasons, but now I'm wondering if it might be best for him. He can't go off a long line because once that nose is down recall is non existent. If neutering will solve the sniffing obsession then it will be worth it, i just don't want to have him done and it not make a difference so very much in two minds.
@@LoneWolf.6.9.9.6. I think there's a chance it will make things a bit easier but I wouldn't count on any one thing to completely fix the issue as you are then set up for disappointment. Maybe you can spend one or two sessions with a trainer to see what other techniques are available. Whatever you decided to do I wish you the best.
Panther 8282 my dog does the same thing and he is neutered, and was neutered fairly young 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t think you can bank on that working
@@mysticobra1 it's been a decision that's taken 18mths to make. I've worked with trainers and have explored every avenue possible. His obsession with scent of other dogs and marking is just becoming way too much. Every walk is a chore as I'm constantly turning with him....6 solid months of turning and no further forward on grass. Food isn't an option as he's not interested in anything but scent. He's very whiney too. I spoke to a lady with same breed of dog with same problems and neutering stopped his marking and hes now a normal sniffer. Mine can't go off lead, as totally deaf on grass. If neutering helps just takes the edge off so that training can be done, it will be worth it. It's literally the last resort.
Great video. Great first session.
Great video!! Can't wait for next one! Question: when heeling Bella will do so well, I praise she speeds up again, I remind her, she pops back for a bit before the cycle again. Do i need more of correction like a slip? (Just on flat collar atm)
Try just reaching down at running your hand across her head. You can say “Good” or nothing, bc that small touch was praise. Also, we women tend to go overboard & use high pitches. No no no. KISS, right?
so where is the training? All I saw was you changing the collar....
Exactly
Smh Seriously? Come on. The lead was changed. When I say “lead”, I mean the person “leading” the dog. Body movements, tone inflections, leash control.
Yay new vid!
THANKS FOR watching Leo!
Great video. I really like your style.
Great share :)
THANKS!
Loved this!! Thanks tom💕
Can you make a video where you actually show the methods for training a dog? The uncomfortable collar was changed and that’s it
As always amazing♥
Can you make a video on the tool you use and how to use them the correct way?
Unable to determine where part 2 is. You have a lot of videos and there's no link to part 2 in the description.
What do you suggest a handler do with a dog that is fine doing the tune-ups but when it gets to a new environment or sees another dog it goes from 0 to 100, stops paying attention to the handler, and keeps pulling aggressively?
I am from Korea and have a 1and half year old golden retriever. I practiced leash pressure in my yard and it worked well but in reality when we go out, she pulls the leash. I don’t think she really understands leash pressure. So my question is if I can use prong collar and why she pulls again when she is out?
You are One of the Best People trainers I have seen working with DOGS.. would love to have you on the #topsnappodcast one day
Great.
You make it look so easy, what's your view on the extendable leashes? They're what my boyfriend has always used with our pull-I dog
adriannnaable THEY ARE AWFUL AND DANGEROUS STOP USING THEM
Thanks so much! I don't like using them for training,
If your dog pulls they are the absolute worst thing to use. You need a regular leash to teach your pup how to walk on leash correctly, if he pulls and his leash can extend then how is he supposed to learn what you want from him. Use a regular leash and when he pulls immediately turn around and walk the opposite way so he learns that pulling doesn't succeed in giving him what he wants.
You want to teach the dog that it should not create any tension (pulling) on the leash. How is a dog supposed to understand that it shouldn't create any tension on the leash, if there is constantly light tension on the leash?😅
Thanks guys I appreciate the input, I prefer regular leash and I'll be sure to try the walk on the opposite direction thing
I’ve just started using the training collar made from paracord and my dog goes nuts Avery once in a while and tries to pull away. I’ve been stopping and petting her/calming her down when she does. What should I do when she goes crazy and fights the training collar? Thanks!
Stay calm.....ignore until calm.....praise once calm! She will learn.....have fun!
Could you make a videos on how to stop a dog from pulling and trying to be aggressive towards other dogs
What is that slip lead connector?? I need that so I don’t have to buy a separate slip lead and I can just attach it to my leash
Well i guess ill try this for my little monster. he is a terrier chihuahua mutt thingy, and he pulls so badly and im a very weak person so it gets very annoying to contain him on walks. he cant be on a collar cause he coughs if it pulls even a little bit (he still wears it so he has identification on him at all times) but he has to use a harness. would think work for a harnessed small dog? i know that harnesses promote pulling but he cannot use a collar.
THIS 7:15
Loving these videos, have a question if you're ever coming back to a old video, but I have the same problem with my Partners dog, I've come along and it has no structure, never being held accountable so I've started to train it the best I can, he's always been a very reactive dog, and charges at most things that go past on a walk, I've managed to stop him from doing it to people and cars with a slip leash and new commands like "leave it" and "break" etc, but I'm struggling the most with getting him into a heel and staying there, he's a small dog so when I get him into a heel and hold the lead in place he kinda freaks out and thinks he's going to get stepped on so end ups going off to the side. (probably doesn't help he is rather blind lol) but have you or anyone got any tips on holding him in the heel position, I can get him there for a little bit but he starts to speed up after a few seconds.
Love your work and everything you do for our doggos
What does the red leash thingy do? Never really understood the different leashes
Would you do the same thing for a dog that constantly stops on walks?
What type of collar was used for the training and do I need to use a specific leash? And my dog gets very anxious and starts crying and jumping everywhere as soon as he sees the leash. Should take them out first, let them get tired and then start the training with them? Thanks for the awesome videos!
He uses a slip lead
But if you have 2 dogs, should that walk on one side? My dogs walk on the same side and they always pull like hell
Next episode ;0
GREAT question....😊😊
@@tomdavisofficial thank you!
You must first get the dogs not to pull when walking by themselves, then integrate them both walking together. Trying to get two dogs that pull to learn loose leash walking together is like trying to teach a small child their ABC's at Disney World with a parade going by. Way to many distractions.
I'm in Leesburg Virginia, I'm also disabled I have 2 what they call mini huskies who pull, they was used to being in a fenced yard. What are some tips for walking etc for me
What did he use initially on her and then switch to on her regular collar
During "tune up" did you reward for good behavior other than praise it didnt show but just a min.
Do you have a link for where to buy the red double snap safety clip? I didn’t see it on your amazon list.
Any tips on how to train a fearful dog who is afraid of random stuff? Cars, trucks, people, children, bikes, lamp posts, traffic signs - everything started after we moved to a new apartment and apparently the outside is now the place of random fears that I've never seen before. We've taken two courses of positive reinforcement training (22 weeks total); but it just doesn't seem to tell the dog to not to be afraid. We almost never go to walks any more because of this.
so sorry to hear this...I kinda know what youre going through....my guy is doing better, now....still some fears, but growth. I noticed that when i would walk him and he'd freeze or back up in fear at whatever, I would stand still, calmly and let him smell, watch and learn. If he was bolting, I'd stop and hold him so he could engage, sensing my presence and protection. If he is too excited or overstimulated, I'd sit and stay still until he calmed down. Then the learning can begin again. Work first with reducing excitement and stimulation. Your own calm (confidence) is still key. I don't know if this helps...hope it does.
Wait, what does that mean? “the industry is really bad right now”? I just got a Husky pup and follow a bunch of channels but am having a lot of trouble training her.
Hows it going with the pup Frank...you have a "hard" dog and breed......any progress??
I think he means that the force free craze shuts people off from common sense. There is nothing wrong with a fair rebutal when the dog understands what it is for and how to avoid it. I wanted to buy a headcollar for a super strong rescue pittie mix dog I got 4 days ago so I could control her head and get her not to attack my cat using treats. I was told by the pet shop server that is abuse and I need to work with a trainer. I think my 40 year experience with about 60 dogs, mainly Rottweilers and my open mind and common sense put me in a better position to judge than a pipsqueak who is just finishing a training course. I know my dogs give me their votes.
@@liannebenn2097 thank you for explaining. I have noticed that, yes. Lots of Huskies communities are very aggressive to dog owners who use dominance training with their dogs. Yet that’s the only way I got my Husky to behave and be good at recall while they all struggle with keeping their dogs on leashes and constantly have them escaping. There’s a huge difference between animal abuse and more disciplined styles of training. I’m not as experienced as you, but I do know what works with my pup and she’s a very happy dog. Has no fears and is friendly with everyone and all animals. 🤷🏻♂️
@@frankaliberti Yes and the craze for harnesses drives me crazy too. A dog having an annoring contraption around its chest and the whole of its strength to pull its panicked owner to attack any dog it pleases. The owners usually try to run to hide behind a tree whenever they see someone comming. Guess which dog will end up in a shelter. Theirs or ours?
Each dog is an individual. Many people are less intelligent that their dogs!😜
Hi Tom I walk with a walker do I put one arm down by my side while walking my dog is it okay
Which collar you take here?
Like everything but the sunglasses while doing the excercise :)
Do dogs still enjoy their walks if they don't get to smell everything etc.??
In my opinion they don't. They need to smell things and pee a lot. Let them walk loose on the leash when they find something interesting and then go back to the "heel" position when they are done smrlling cuz what the point going for a walk with your dog and not let them enjoy the outside world with their senses. Imagine being with your friends and not being aloud to talk. xx just my opinion
To my understanding, a dog should not be in heel for the entire walk. If you are in a situation, being in heel will help to control/correct the situation, whereas you have no leverage if they are sniffing
I keep my male Aussie on a long line if i have to have him on leash. He can wander do whatever he wants but I can call him in and have him walk nicely beside and stop and wait at curbs generally keep him safe and we both enjoy the walk.
Whats the small little rope you clipped onto her flat collar?
A safety clip
I have a question for you, love what you do btw. I have a German shepherd heading up towards 6 months old. Her training has been going great, until recently she pulls and pulls. Listens when she wants to but as soon as something else is more interesting she just does not care that I’m on the other end of the lead. Tried half check, choke, slip lead. Again works without distractions as soon as something else is more interesting she does not care. I have been recommended a prong and or e collar. However not sure if she’s too young for this kind of equipment? What’s your opinion?
Jeanine Bennerdt Hammer I use a prong for my 11 month old GSD...and it works wonder. Once they stop pulling ...he will walk infront on me though. Once she gets use to the collar and stops pulling...then proceed to start having her waking right next to you. Use treats...lots and lots of praise and treat. Slowly start taking away those treats so she listens without expecting something in return. Every minute of the day is time to train. Doing basic command throughout the day...don’t always give her treats will keep her on her toes. Hope that helps.
@@kirank2026 is there a particular prong that you use? There are so many on the market it's difficult to figure out which one to get. I read that rounded tips are more effective and don't cause damage. What might you recommend?
Hi Tom davies Like it you
Is there anyway to train loose leash walking, but also mushing pulling separately? How could I make these walks separate where the dog knows the difference?
When they have to pull they a harness - dogs can tell the difference
Wish I could post my 8 year old rescue staffi to you !!! 😂😂😂😂He pulls towards reactive dogs!!😟😟
I'm going to try this. I have a 1 year old german shepherd that pulls a lot and never listens lol
What kind of slip collar did you use? Or how did you make it?
Just wanna let you know, your link to your site attaches those two arrows, so the link won't work correctly. GL!
I wanted to see the fearful dog? Where did that one go?
So my German Shepherd is suffering from all four of the issues you’re addressing in this video I have no clue where to start with her she is a little over a year old. I feel a little lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Contact him through his website.
So is this saying just to use a slip lead? That’s what made the huge difference there?
I never saw the dog actually pulling on the leash with Tom. Where is the footage where the owners "hand over" the dog and he is pulling?
If the dog is given to a new handler it is often confused and will at the first moment do nothing or stop pulling after only 1 or very few correction. Especially if the person holding the leash has the right body language.
I have 3 jugs and they are very aggressive with other people and other animals not sure how 2 fix that
I have the same problem.. she ‘has’ bit before. Both people & dogs...
@@joniwarren4662 ya I have a mom a dad and their puppy and they are fiercely over protective of eachother and us and it scares me that I can't let my guard down or they are gonna hurt someone
@@joniwarren4662 and I don't know what to do to change them now they are like 6,5 and 3 years old
Ya it sounds like the breeder was an ahole but I totally understand what u mean and we did try to socialize our first dog and he was fine till our neighbor kicked him when we weren't home ever since that he is wary of other people and protective of us and his wife and son
I wished we could help each other. I try to work with mine every single Day... doesn’t make any difference. I know a couple who own a feed store. Has taken their mini aussie to the store since she was a baby. Yesterday, i walked in and she started growling at me. I have pet her a llot. They said she has just started doing that. You can’t get a dog who has been more socialized than Millie , so i thought i may be an ‘Aussie” trait? Not sure.. mine gets along fine with her big sister. They do have ‘stingy with a toy’ problems once in a while. I think mine may be territorial aggressiveness. All of this has happened on our property or in our pickup.
What collar did he use
The prong collar works very well so far. My super timid, crazy, aggressive, 2 year old totally untrained (not even potty trained) Aussie girl is finally learning to respect the lease and pay attention to me when she is on leash walking outside. My property is right on a super noisy highway with super noisy useless idiotic Harley Davidsons passing by every few minutes (apparently there is a gang of motor gangsters somewhere in the north of my property). She is starting to pay more attention to me than those stupid gangster bikes. I can finally have a little bit of control over her when some bicycles ride alone on the other road also next to my property. She will still bark and jump around when some bicycles approaches, but she will stop jumping once I pull the leash a couple of times. And when I use the usual stop pulling harness she will react to my direction nicely. But that's when there is no stupid Harley or bicycle or other dogs around.
Try it with Beagle ;)
My 3yr. Shepherd will pull your arm out. How do you handle this one.???????????
I paid $800 for a trainer 😢 I'm lost 😟
