I love your channel because I feel like you cover these lesser talked about topics and as a result I always leave your videos feeling that I've learned something new (to me) and interesting. Like the part where you talk about how sometimes putting a reactive dog in a sit or down can make things worse. I am not a sport trainer, I don't even have a dog *yet*, but I love your content! Keep it up!!
I have a dog leaking when given the heel command. I want to apply this concept but I find it hard in that he is doing what I ask but it comes with the whining or bark. I believe it is from using the higher value reward to often initially. Any thoughts? And yes it is a Shepard lol
Like everything else leaking can be worked on imo just like this dog with his quiet sits. But in my experience excessive leaking is genetic. If quiet work is needed, better to seek a quieter puppy.

Thank you for the kind words!
That's a great explanation Mike!
Love the content Mike!
A wireless mic would be an awesome addition. I had my speakers turned yo really high to hear you then got blasted by the bark 😂
Haha thanks, That’s because of the wireless mic I’m wearing in this video 😂
