    It's so great to see a training video with a less easy dog breed. There are so many videos of people showing their skills with Border Collies, Malinois and ect. But this is where your knowledge and talent has to kick in. Very useful video showing the subtle nuances training such breed and the reason behind it. Thank you for sharing it.
    You mentioned that slip lead is your favourite tool. How would you compare it to a choke chain and Martingale? It would be lovely if you made a separate video about those and other training tools.

    Duuude! I am so glad I lucked up and got my pup when you got Eileen. My kangal pup HATES the leash and digs in every time. I have been doing exactly what you displayed in this vid, but until I saw this video I had no idea if my approach was sound or if I was creating more problems. I have never had a dog so independent/ stubborn in regards to having a natural dislike of a leash and going for walks. Historically it's always been me teaching my dogs to stop pulling, but never to start walking lol. Thanks again!

    We're getting a Marremano pup who was abandoned and has never been in a household before. I find that your videos are the only ones that really educate owners on the psychology of the dog and the root of behaviours and success. I feel this education is what stands your videos apart from the others and is so valuable because owners needs to be trained just as much as the dogs do! I can't wait to take the puppy course! Keep up the good work!

    Our 2 year old border collie was incredibly reactive when we adopted him 7 months ago. We believe fully that this is because he’d been walked on a harness for the first 18 months of his life. The owner sent a harness with him when we picked him up and it enabled him to pull like a freight train. We quickly replaced this for the flat collar and later on a prong collar. It’s been a long process over these past few months of trying to undo the terrible habit he’s been allowed to do for so long and teach him to walk nicely on a lead. He’s still by no means perfect but it’s a massive improvement compared to where he was. I would give anything to be able to go back to the beginning like this and teach him to heel from scratch before he’d learned to pull 😂 That being said there’s still things from this video I can incorporate into his training for sure. Excellent video as always mate!

These are some of the best training techniques I have seen online. Just like the Dog Whisperer, you stress that the owner's energy is so vital in the training process. I will order one of your dog training leashes. Hope you deliver in Turkey. I live in Kusadasi Turkey and in all, there is only one professional trainer who is way too expensive.

    I LOVE Eileen! It's so funny to me how stubborn all the giants I have worked with are. Just like this! I always tell my friends and family "you don't so much train a giant, as you negotiate with one" Once you're on the same page though, they'll do anything for you! And I mean anything! I don't think they're less intelligent, just that they want to do things their own way, and will bang their heads against a wall to get there! Like Eileen with the fence, "I want be with Puppy, but this isn't working, let me try here or here or maybe here? No? Ok I do something else" 😂😂😂 It sometimes does require a tremendous amount of patience, but they're all so sweet it's hard to get really cross with them. Thank you for this very real video, Will! ❤️

In fact you are the first trainer I have watched who talks about the importance of manners, and manners in all dogs, no matter how small and cute, are vitally important. Thankyou

Hopefully with these videos I’ll learn how to get her to listen and train her better.

    Brother, you are an amazing coach/trainer . I don’t like flying my dog anywhere I purchase without it being at my feet . I would love a bullmastiff from you if you were a breeder but I’m in the states . I’m new to your channel and haven’t done my binging yet but if you breed let me know we just put a deposit on a male bullmastiff after losing our champ Grunt in October . This breed is unlike any other in my definitely biased mind 😂

    Thank u soo much for all these productive informative videos, i have learned so much. But there is something in my opinion almost every trainer miss to teach us is: how to react or what to do if my dog did the opposite of what im training them. For example if im training SIT for several times and once he just ran and kept running chasing a cat!! not answering his recall or come!! What should i do? Should i keep calling him? Should I stop so that my command means somthing? Should i chase him? Should i try to distract him? Although ive tried !! I really need help what to do if bad behavior like this happen what should our response be as a leader? Would really appreciate ur answer from ur own prospective. Thanks.

    I am definitely guilty of making all of the mistakes you mentioned in this video. Starting your Boot camp today and this will definitely help with the socialisation element.

    Thanks for your videos, you do a great job explaining things. I have a 2 months old American Akita, who doesn't seem to be motivated by treats. She digs her heels and doesn't want to move forward. I'm currently using a harness but will consider using a slip leash. Is it too early for slip leash training at this age?
