Yeah, I walk shelter dogs and they have harnesses so I deal with it, and I'm not against. I'm definitely against prong collars and have reservations around slip collars or any neck pressure (old fragile necks of podencos etc). But this is definitely the most responsible video about it, I would know how to use them properly at least. Thanks.
@@lion7880 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I like harnesses, and probably half of the people I work with use them. The only issue I have with them is that, if the dog is already a puller, it can trigger that opposition reflex, along with making it more comfortable, causing the dog to pull more. That's simple to correct, but for many people, by that point they either don't have the time, or don't know the exercises, to stop it, so it just gets worse. But, if the dog is not already a puller, and the dog is trained to walk with a loose leash, then they're great.
@@SomeMinorDogTraining I discourage pulling by holding the leash closer to the neck with my right hand, and slowing down the pace, as some form of negative reinforcement but no added pressure, in fact it reduces the pressure on both of us.
Really liked the demo of how to put on the slip leash CORRECTLY! It was very helpful in my understanding why the leash worked SOMETIMES and confused the dog at other times. Very helpful information - thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm glad you were able to get something out of it. Yeah, the slip lead is a great communication tool, but it does have a proper way to fit it. I'm happy to hear that you found this helpful in that. ❤️💕
Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much that means to me. Good luck with your pup, and if there's anything you need, don't hesitate to reach out. ❤️💕
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, and for your much appreciated compliment of Jack. He's an amazing dog, and we've put a lot of work into his training. ❤️💕
I had to put my boy down on Dec 29th... He was 13 years old " his photo is my channel profile icon. We had a good routine and, training videos were not necessary. Nov 25th, I got a 2 month female "Sasha" blue nose and on Dec 5th a 7 week male blue nose. I wasn't planning on it but we just ended up same place, same time and they needed a forever home. My female looks exactly like a Blue Paul Terrier. She is the smartest dog I've ever met, but my boy "Kiko" is a little on the dumb side. LOL I haven't had a puppy in so many years and I want to brush up on my skills, which is why I clicked on your video. I am going to post a couple of videos that I took of them within the next couple of days (you can see what I mean). I would love your input if you wouldn't mind. I love them so much and I am grateful for them! Now, with your videos to help me, I will train them the right way! :-) @@SomeMinorDogTraining
@@lennytheloon I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. But 13 years is a nice, long life, and I can tell he was loved. Thank you for being a good dog owner, and thank you for your kind words and support! ❤️💕 As far as having two puppies around the same age, I would highly recommend spending time to work with them individually, as well as together. And give them alone time away from each other. We don't want them to develop Littermate Syndrome, especially with such powerful dogs.

I just read your article. I never heard of Litter-mate Syndrome but I was looking up puppies biting each other and playing rough the other day. Thankfully, I did get them each a dog cage of their own and they are on wheels so moving them away from each other is no problem at all. I think you just saved me from heartbreak and danger. You are my new favorite RUclipsr! @@SomeMinorDogTraining

Correct. There are slip COLLARS, as well, which are just slip leads without the long handle, so they're literally the exact same thing as the choke chain. But, regardless, you are correct. I think a big difference, however, is that the slip lead doesn't slide down the dogs neck.
Depending on the dog's posture and the fur texture, both sometimes do and don't slide. The main difference is that the chain makes a noise when it tightens which is helpful to the dog. Chains also don't need to be washed, don't wear out, and carry a negative stigma @@SomeMinorDogTraining
@@user-vy6xw5lb5l to be fair, for maximum efficiency, the choke chain should be positioned just like the slip leash (as close to the ears as possible). Just like with the slip leash, the choke chain isn't designed to have the dog in front of you, but rather beside or behind you.
Thanks for watching! Were you able to get anything out of this video? What's your favorite leash/collar/harness?

My dog used the freezack Nordic, a good compromise between collar and harness, pressure on the chest rather than neck, I suppose.

This is, hands down, the best and most helpful lesson on the effective use of the slip lead!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I'm glad you found it informational. ❤️💕
That's the first time I've seen anyone explain how and why to do it properly. Excellent video

any suggestions as to how to desensitize a dog to windshield wipers? He freaks out when they have to be on.
Is it only when you're in the car, or is it any time, even when he's outside the car?
Thank you for sharing this information... Good to know! He is a well-behaved dog and gorgeous too!

Slip lead is just a choke chain made of rope.
