Watching that tail wag speaks volumes alone. It is all about fun, yet structure. Nailed it.
That dog is looking for treats.
That's why I don't really like to use food
The way Goofy pays attention to you is so sweet! Would be nice to see you give him a big hug for us!
I just love watching his wagging tail! 😁
I'm very much for joel beckman's lose leash walking explanation but i love this explanation too.
My favorite people trainer. Because of this man our local K-9 patrol dogs are better. Thank you Mr. Cabral.
Look at that doggy!! He is so well trained! I love this video! Thank you!
I have 0 dogs and love this channel definitely subscribed. when I get a dog I will be rewatching for refreshers
My Belgian Malinois is 14 & 1/2 years old and she still stares at me like that while waging her tail. She's had anxiety since I adopted her so I am surprised she is still around and alert aside from her deafness.
Always giving great training methods, love it!!
Thank you for the detail Robert. Love the detail!
Simply thank you sir!
One of the first ever lessons I had at class was on holding the lead/leash correctly. I was 6 years old. Trip down memory lane. Thank you : )
I like the quick release leash lock. Great video!
Very thoughtful instruction.
What a well behaved dog. So focused on you.
Thank you Robert.
Another very informative video.
Always a pleasure to learn from your goodself and when I am lost and unsure I can always count on you for help.
Great tips thank you
Good tip on the correction!
Great video Robert! the leash is an extension of us. So critical to being a good leader, obedience and security for all with our dogs. Thank you.
Just wanted to say I'm so happy I found your channel Robert. I have been working with dogs professionally now for over 7 years working in kennels/daycares and grooming salons. I found your video about the rant about dogs walking off leash and I've been binging your channel ever since.
I love your approach to training because I also believe in a balanced approach as I have worked with all kinds of different breeds of dogs in large pack settings of 30+ dogs. Positive reinforcement was always the only thing pushed in training videos that we would watch and that was the general we've always been told to approach dog disclipline/training. My peers have always been impressed by how well I can manage a large pack of dogs and keep them calm and stay in control. That's all because of the balanced approach I use in the yard.
I love your no bs approach and overall mentality and I think what you're doing is great. You make me highly consider looking into dog training as a future career. I have tried working many other types of jobs, but in the end I always end up working with dogs again, and it's honestly hard to see myself doing anything else. Thanks for all the words of wisdom Robert. Now back to binging your videos.
Super helpful
I really enjoyed watching your upload!
Love your videos good job 👍
Yesss Robert. I love YOUR leash lock. I’ve been using it since your video with it came out, probably a year ago at this point.
Awesome
This is great for the cold weather w gloves on! Thanks.
Enjoyed the video Robert ...my 5 year old Dobe is going through a Phase on his walks at the moment so this has been fortuitous.
Thanks to this video we had a successful training with reactive GSD at dog park visit #6. We both were relieved. I didn’t understand why my corrections were not working.
Great video great Dog Training walking great Job working
Love watching your videos ,I'm training my Belgium shephard tervuren your way..She is such an amazing dog ,extremely clever and so wants to learn.Thank you
There is no way someone didn’t say Hi to you or compliment Goofy. Your Robert , everyone knows you! Love the videos
like that leash lock never heard that...!!!
Good info my friend
New intro looks great!
Great video Robert thank you. The leash lock looks like a half bowline knot I think from my Boyscout days long ago.
Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot from you. Thank you
Happy to hear that!
@@RobertCabralDogs I have a bull terrier that we are trying to train her, I'm disabled, any advice or recommend video's for obedience training? I love her so much, very smart but she is also very strong! Help me with my baby 😜
It's really helpful! Looks like a small thing but actually i almost let my dog run away because the leash was not securely held.
Oh sweet goofy boy 💖 and this is why you are my online trainer 🙏🔥🙏 best money spent every month , thank you Robert for everything you do for all of us 🤗
👊🏽
Very awesome tip I try esp on my GSD 6 month old puppy...thank you
I thought you literally meant “ESP” 😳 ..,then I realized it was short for especially 😂😂😂
Amazing dog so attuned with you
love these leash tips! maybe tips when walking 2 behaved dogs together?
Goofy is an awesome name! Love it!
😆 This dog is so excited
When you live with a dog, you can say that he shows you various other kind behaviors. There are some kind gestures and behaviors that only your dog would do, so it would be interesting to find out what kind behaviors your dog usually does.🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐕🐕🐕💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
🎉 I just tried your tips for holding the leash with my 16 mo old standard poodle and it helps. Much easier. Thanks so much for this video. 🎉
love to hear that!
@@RobertCabralDogs ? I’ve used pp trainers but I like to find the best of what works with Molly.
I don’t see mild corrections as harmful. She had a bad hyper extinction burst last week and bruised my arms from hyper jumping and mouthing in the backyard. I discovered she wasn’t getting enough rest. Also two days at dog daycare seems to have helped so far. Touch wood. I was thinking of trying a balanced training school to help with that behaviour. How do you correct such behaviour when a dog isn’t on leash and not aggressive just over aroused hyper?
@@JanineMKartist you'll see in my lessons I always use a long line because it gives me an ability to correct
@@RobertCabralDogs how to your correct if they chew it or try to make it tug of war? I tried and struggled . I’ll look at your other videos . Thanks again . At this point I’d rather watch you than ZG. Looking forward to your next Live. When is it?
God love Goofy......!!!! Great video....thank you!
LOVE Tail wagger Goofy !!! ❤
🙏
Pulling to the side/correcting has greater effect than pulling back, especially if the dog is pulling.
When we teach walking/heeling on the left because it’s the International Standard🤷♀️
I tie a little knot in the lead
Hey! Can you cover food aggression and why it occurs? I'm uncertain what to do speaking my dog just started to develop it. I've been trying to give her specified meal times and I avoid eating around her. Yet she still claims the water dish or gets aggressive if a cat walks by while she's eating.
Hey Robert, not very related but can you share some tips for how to clean teeth and keep them clean?? My GSD is only a year and a half and is getting some build ups and staining and I’d like to nip this in the bud ASAP. Thanks!
Hey can you please make a breed break down video on doberman pleaseee
I just found you and have been enjoying your videos. I have a 5 month German Shepard. I have so much to learn! I’d love some help, how can I get in touch with you? I live in Ventura
Good morning and thank you very much for your videos I love them but I have a question? Can you do this video with a novice young dog that is distracted and pulls thank you

@@RobertCabralDogs thank you 😊
Hi Robert I have a walker so how do I walk my dog
The portion about leash grip is helpful, but OMG Robert, this video is more about how to use the leash to give more effective corrections and restraint. How about ways to help your dog better understand leash walking through teaching tips, rather than assistance for a more effective correction. Oh, and give that dog a treat - he’s worked hard, even with you feigning corrections. Give him some love.
Notice the wag of his tail and the smile on his face. Working with me is his greatest joy. He gets tons of love, treats and playtime. Constantly shoving treats into a dogs mouth is not love … it’s bribery. Build a relationship with your dog and that will last a lifetime.
@@RobertCabralDogs A treat doesn't equate to "constantly shoving treats in his face". Giving a reward for work already produced isn't bribery by the way. Balanced training is about equal measures. The dog obviously values treats (as you mentioned he knew you had some), so why be so insulted as to give the guy what he really wants for a job well done?
What I do I feed the leash through the loop and than I put my hand through the loop I created I tighten the leash around my wrist before choking the leash. So now even if the dog can pull the leash out of your hand it won't pull from my wrist
Is there any chance to train my 3yrs.old dog?
I am about to get a doberman pincher puppy any tips for first time owners
Watch my puppy videos.
Goofy doesn't need any corrections! 🙌
Well you make this look so easy. My dog, an adoption from "death row" looks a lot like the dog in your video. I have hired a trainer and had no success .. all I want to doing is go for a walk with my dog. The difference I see in your video is that you actually have your dog's attention. My dog seems to have ADD, but he is so intelligent---- and I know it's just that he IS so smart. I am 72 years old and walking my dog is almost beyond my capability ---certainly not enjoyable--.....Can you share with me just how to maintain my dog's attention/focus?

Robert does a great video for this Nancy.
This is something I have been working on as well. From what I learned from all these videos, I have been trying a slip collar. I have seen some improvement already and I only used it once so far. I'm sure a prong collar would be even better if your dog is super stubborn. Just make sure to work with them a bit in your yard or house before trying it on the actual walk. So you both have some practice.
Thumb locks and finger locks. Finger lock lets you pump the leash to give information
I would have thought most of us hold the leash with our power hand and correct with our left (if we're right handed). As some dogs can be surprisingly strong for their size. Where it's just easier to control them using our power hand. If need be.
Also most of us opt for the FLexi brand retractable leashes for convenience. But those are the types of leashes that are more likely to jump out of our hands if the dog suddenly decides to run and we're distractied. Holding the leash a little less tight than we should be or normall y do.
Odd no one's made a retractable leash using bungie cord rope. I have the rope leash as well as the Flexi (which has a light on it...convenient).
I don’t recommend flexi Leash for walking.
My GSD has developed a tendency to crowd me while we’re walking and I’m constantly trying to not step on her. How can I correct this?
There's a reason for walking your dog on the left side! Most people are right handed and would put their huntin rifle on the right shoulder (so it's a tradition).
Out of curiosity, why do a cross body correction vs a straight up correction?
more effective and fairer on the dog.
Do you have a video that shows how you trained this type of heel. Where he followes you everywhere you go. Forward backward etc. like right by your side and pays hyper Focus on you
Yes. My focus heel videos
@@RobertCabralDogs thank you. I watch them.
What do I️ do when my dog shuts down any time the e collar is introduced? My dog gets scared at just the beep sound without a vibrate or stim.
its probably not the right tool for your dog. you would need to do a complete reintroduction.
I’ve heard some trainers say not to put your thumb, wrist, or any part of your hand through a looped leash because you could end up getting injured and even losing the leash at the same time if your thumb gets dislocated by a powerful dog that gets spooked, attacked by another dog, or other situations where the dog may try to bolt (it can be difficult to control even the best trained dog when something unusual happens out of nowhere suddenly). I’ve seen other trainers say it’s best to use the technique that people use to walk alongside horses on leads, similar to the second method you used with a leash folded over with a leash lock where the leash is folded - because there’s no chance of you getting injured in the process, which then makes it possible to get things under control.
Thoughts on that? The argument is that injured person can’t possibly get a bad situation under control and keep their dog from possibly bolting. Is there any reason to be concerned about getting injured and/or losing the leash as a result by holding the leash the first way, and if not, why do you feel that way? If there was a stray dog that came up from behind that neither you or your dog saw, for instance, you can’t possibly react fast enough. We all should be aware of our surroundings, but we can’t possibly see everything.
I’d love to hear your take on that. I think most people would like to hold the leash with the thumb inside the loop (myself included), but there is a valid concern too, so I’ve always avoided it.
I was personally taught to hold the leash in two hands. I am disabled and found a helpful tool back in 2017 called LeadMate that attaches onto any leash and makes it easier to grip and control (they are still sold today!). My leash skills really improved by that because there’s no chance of the leash slipping from my hand since there’s a secure large grip to hold onto. I walk my boy mostly on my right due to the way I need him to assist me, so I hold the LeadMate in my right hand and use the folded leash method in the left hand. I am able to correct properly without any trouble (it’s actually easier). Have you ever seen a LeadMate before? The trick to using it properly is to ensure it’s attached in a way where you only have a couple of feet between the end of the leash and the lead mate. I’ve found that it’s a great tool. I have one on every leash I own - fits onto my thick leather service dog leashes nicely, as well as thin Nylon leashes up to an inch wide.
How do I walk with two dogs？ When I walk with two dogs how to hold my leash? How to correct my dogs for pulling?
2dogs walk on our left side?
Thank you.
across the body? I got to try that! May I ask what your thought about belt leash?
Don’t like them
@@RobertCabralDogs what’s the reason that you done like them?
How do you keep your dog's head up like that? My dog's head is down towards the ground when we're walking. Her nose is always on the ground :( How do I get her to keep her head up? At least for most of the walk? (She is 12 months old. Shepherd-Lab mix.)
You teach her to give you eye contact..by teaching her "watch me's" you say WATCH ME..as you hold a high value treat up to your face....as soon as she stops looking at the treat in your hand...and looks directly into your eyes.. mark it ...Say "YES" or click..the instant she does it... and give the treat.reward....Thats how to teach them to look up ....you use food...eventually you dont need to.
Nice leash holding tips. So how do you train your dog to walk on a leash?
I just got a 1year dog and she has no training and I need help

Can u please tell me the best way to stop dog barking? When dog is in crate, he cries incessantly. I've tried saying "stop", "no", and shaking the crate. Then, I tried ignoring him completely, which did work for a little while
have you tried covering the crate?
@@RobertCabralDogs he just went back home to his owner. He's a Shiba Inu 5 months old. They are very stubborn and very smart/ independent. He gets constant attention as he goes to work with owner and has an entire office of people who play with him throughout the day. It's to a point where he demands attention. I'm his trainer and have never trained this breed before. He's a super quick learner and I have been training him since he's 3 months old, so I know him well. He's extremely mischievous and can't be left unattended unless he's confined. I have now started changing the dynamic of our training. I told owner to tell staff, not to give him so much attention and for a few hours a day to keep in crate and let him just learn how to be calm. And, yes, I already ordered a cover for his crate
What if the dog is a puppy and it is not tall enough?
So honest question for those of us who don't live in the People's Republic of California. Right handed folks carry their defensive tools where their right hand can access them. One can't expect to have free access to tools with their right hand if there is a leash handle wrapped around their right wrist.
How would you suggest we free Americans hold the leash in that case?
I usually put the loop around my left wrist and then hold the slack off the leash in my right hand. That way I can drop the leash from my right hand and still have my dog tethered to my left.
You can use your left hand to hold the leash once your dog gets good enough. But when you're start training, the leash should be in your right hand for the reasons Robert said.
That's why dogs are trained to heel on the left, so your gun can be on the right.
Hopefully you'd train your dog in a safe place, where you can be without your gun for 10 minutes.
Exactly.
All police and military dogs are on the left. Trained and condition.
You just use a normal leash?
What happens when you are using a walker
I you should show us with a dog that doesn't know
I walk him in my right …
How do you get Goofy to constantly look at you!?
Why are you focusing so much on the "the dog doesn't get away from me"? And you are putting your hand into the loop. It's a safety nightmare in my opinion. My mother did the same with my dog. A 1-year-old 40kg White Swiss Shepherd. During the walk, they were attacked by street dogs. And yes, my dog defended them, he made two steps forward, but my mom was on the other end of the leash. She tried to hold my dog back, but couldn't. But she also was unable to let the leash go because it was around her hand. So she felt. At this moment, my dog tried to escape and dragged her to one side. So she didn't only felt down, but was also dragged around.
Same for me, now is winter and some roads are full of ice and slippery. I don't care, if the dog get away from me, but I don't risk to fall down, if the dog start to pull for any reason.
I agree. I was taught to never put my hand thru the thumb loop. I was schooled in Koehler method and you never put your wrist in a leash, same with confirmation handling.... You just don't.
Perhaps you missed the part of the video covering the leash lock that would clarify it to you.
dog tail must be tired..:)
Some ot your leash working was decent. But I disagree with a few things,but you are more talented and knowledgeable than the majority of trainer's that I've seen!( No need to be critical about anything! Becsuse it wil sometimesl work for younger dogs and non professionals... Handler's's ,who are dealing with higher drive animals and larger more powerful, or AGGRESSIVE dogs...? Well?
Explain yourself. What is it that you disagree with and what are you saying or asking?
Should someones dog run wild... That handle technique is going to get your shoulder dislocated. I know i know. 'in an ideal situation'... But thats not for some ppl who realy should 'get a grip' so to speak.
Made me feel uncomfortable/nervous encouraging putting your hand through the loop... 😩💦
😆
But your dog is already trained you need to show a video of a untrained dog for people to really understand the method
