In this video, we show you how we fixed Zeke's leash reactivity towards other dogs.
BEFORE our training program, Zeke would fixate, lunge, and bark whenever he saw another dog. He lacked respect for the handler, lacked impulse control, and lacked guidance.
AFTER our training program, Zeke is now able to be chill around other dogs. He respects the handler, listens to commands, and is able to enjoy life off-leash because of it.
All credit goes to the handler for putting in the work - she's awesome. I gave the instructions, but she did all the training. (By the way, she has another GSD, and both of them are now off-leash trained - it's pretty badass.)

I can't afford your training (too much for us in the 3rd world countries). But I watch a lot of free videos (mostly RUclips) to learn how to train my dogs. Just want to thank you for putting this out here. In my opinion, you're the best dog trainer I've watched on RUclips. Very clear, very precise. Thank you.
I can’t afford it and I don’t love in a third world country

I agree 👍 💯 🙆♂️ 👏
It’s even better when you make the plunge. All the holes/questions are filled in. He does pay later where you pay monthly. Best $$$ I have spent on my dogs.
Are you damb bro ..do you think dog trainers are affordable not ..
Most europeans north americans don't have vet visit ..
Why you think every INDIAN OR PHILIPPINE IS POOR AND EVERY GERMAN OR AMERICAN IS RICH
“Not everyone has what it takes to fix their dog’s reactivity” I feel that so much. my dogs has this problem and we’ve been working on it exploring new videos, the other day I just had to sit back and cry because I just want my baby to be able to go out with me and walk with me without freaking out over dogs.
You need to introduce your dog in a safe environment to dogs that are mentally strong. Please don't do what this guy says just because you don't know what to do to change things.
Believe me, it's better if your dog follows your instructions out of respect, not out of anxiety and pain.
Depending on the dog breed and sex, dogs have a shorter or longer puberty. Molosser breeds such as Bulldogs, Rottweiler, Newfoundlander, etc take about 3 years to become adult. During their puberty, their brain is total chaos. They even seem to have forgotten almost everything they had already learned as puppy. Also impulse control is totally gone. Don't expect your dog to behave like an adult if he is in his puberty. Just show him what is right and wrong, stay consequent. Be there for your dog. He will be thankful for your love and compassion when he grows mature.
The best you can do is start training your puppy as soon as he lives with you. And train him every day, use every situation as training possibility. When he starts puberty, just stick to those things he learned as puppy. Go back to short sequences of 3 minutes for training the things he already has learned before. Puberty can really frustrate the living handler and most dogs ending up in rescue centers are between 8 months and 3 years. But this time will end, never forget this. And when your dog has matured, he is not chaotic in his brain anymore and can learn new things for the rest of his life.
Your comment is amazingly informative!! People often don't consider canine puberty nor fear periods in their dogs behavior
I've used Victoria stilwell for years I was training 4 puppies and 2 Adult foster Dogs at the same time together ,before they went to their new homes , never use punishment to train your dog it will only make it behave worse and never put on a pronged collar that is animal abuse 100%, if there's more to your family then get them involved also , its consistent that works , I'm training ATM a Belgium shepherd 4 months they are the hardest to get aggressive out of them especially our rescued who was being trained as a dog fighter, I'm training him to stop lunging at my 8 year old German shepherd dog who doesn't take kindly and bit the pup so hard it cut the pup bad on his nose , had the pup for 3 weeks now and he is just starting to learn , don't give up , yes it's very tiring I'm shattered but I'm not giving up , hope you can get help , good luck and a happy 2024 ❤🎉
This is 99% my situation with my 2 year old shepard. It's actually scary how similar! I have put in many many hours , he does so well at home , but I cannot get him anywhere near other dogs, and yes i realise it comes down to lack of respect for me. . I am unsure however if it is excited or fear based. Other trainers have told me that he is fear based. How will training change? Do you have a trainer that you could recommend on Johannesburg South africa?
Me too I also have him freaking out on people too 😢
Just found your channel, your way of teaching fits my Aspergers and ADHD needs perfectly. I love how you have a clear list in the beginning. You dont leave out the small steps my brain needs unlike most online trainers ive watched. Gives me a confidence boost for my leash reactive GSDs training ❤
I have autism and adhd and your comment has really helped.
I totally agree! So many trainers don't lay out the steps they go through... and they just show videos of their sessions with these dogs, and the dogs are just perfect by the end, but I certainly can't figure out how to replicate the steps! I think it's probably intuitive to these trainers, so they don't think through the steps that they're going through. I absolutely love this channel because it actually breaks down the steps AND gives the reasons why things work.
Dude. Like not sure how should I explain this? Been there done that, etc, paid for courses, asked several trainers, etc. This is the second video of you that I’m watching, and on my first walk after the 2 videos, with my dog on the HS colar, it took one correction and she became perfect. The entire one hour walk. I know I need to fix my mistakes, but I could not know what are my mistakes. It’s been three years that I’m trying. Watching this video clearly made me see my mistake. And it’s so simple. Simple as just correcting and constantly. And your love and genuine attitude all of this for free. Thx brother.
What's a HS collar?
He ment to write prong collar @@evelynfreney8921

This is the BEST dog training video I’ve seen on RUclips period. I appreciate the clear explanations behind the psychology of the dog and the training goals, the voiceovers adding additional information, and the fact that you let the camera run rather than cutting away, so we can see the full process and in-between moments, which are important and a lot of videos cut out. Excited to use this with my dog. THANK YOU!
Glad you found it helpful! 💪
It's not psychology
It's a prong collar
Maybe you notice the yelping and leaping in pain
Oh yes!!!!
Totally agree! So much awesome info!
As soon as this dog gets used to the prong collar, this won't work anymore.
You did not *fix* the relationship at all.
Zeke is a youngster in the middle of his puberty.
44:20 "missed correction" is VERY IMPORTANT. Early on in my dog's training, my thought that it wasn't fair to correct her when she hadn't done anything yet. But you really have to correct the thought and intention to react.
When reacting starts, you have to deal with a non-operant mental state, and self reenforcing behaviours. It becomes much more challenging and less effective to correct.
This is the best video, no bs and very clear information. Today is 4th, my boy never pulled me and less reactive toward another dogs at the park. We still working on it, he not 100% ignore them still looking and whinnies going when another runs or 100 meters away.
The hardest thing is to teach ourselves. The trainer is really there to positively reinforce the HANDLER's behavior :)
We have had Akitas for nearly 20 years this video is beneficial and on point thanks for the honesty addressing this specific issue.
One of the most thorough dog training videos I have seen! Well done, sir!
I really appreciated the length and thoroughness of this videos!! I feel like most dog training videos are 5-10 minutes long, probably because that’s the max attention span of most people. But I’ve been wanting a video like this: long, explains everything so I understand the why behind the what, and shows me the progress from start to finish! Thank you so much for taking the time to make something like this, I’ll definitely be sticking around for more videos
Oh man, I wish I could afford the online course, but I've already spent so much on training this year, unfortunately. I'm really grateful to you for your videos. I have a rescue Husky, and my last trainer said that this breed isn't really easy to train, but now I've started watching your videos and I'm feeling more confident again. Thank you, great job.
Your videos are truly life saving! Extremely informative with both the physical aspects and psychological as well. I am so happy to have found your channel 😊 the fact that you also post these videos for FREE speaks volumes about your character. Keep up the fantastic work!
And one last thing your IP in this video is beautiful. I have seen many trainers material but none of them outline it as professionally as you. Great work on that as well.
Thank you so much for your videos…my dog Rio is a GSD just like Zek…super reactive when he would see other dogs. 10 min session and 1 correction was all it took!!!! You are a God sent!!! Now we walk without the hassle of stress and reacting to other dogs! GOD BLESS YOUR EXPERTISE!!!! Thank you! Thank You!! Now we are working on road restrictions…😊
Thankyou for showing us this video. I’ve start doing the loose leash and then obedience, so now I am happy I’m doing the right thing. My dog barks and lunges when she sees small dogs . I am so glad I came across your video. Learning I only used No but never used leash pressure. My German shepherd is similar to zek.
Super video! You are a very talanted trainer. So many details that I found missing in my training. Thank you!
First stern “no!“ and proper correction I could see results right there! Now it’s time to build on it! Thanks dude!
The very best reactivity session I have seen! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with all the dog lovers!
mvp! took me literally 1 walk, applied what your said and my dog f****ng listens... i feel like a black version of cesar melan now :) thanks bro!
This was exactly what I needed, thank you!
THANK YOU! I Agree, this is the best dog training video! I used this technique with my first dog years ago, but with my second the trainer did not use this method. He taught treat training & u turn for this behavior, not punishment and rebuild. This has saved my relationship with my Border Collie, after 5 months of pure frustration and exhaustion. I can now take him on runs without having meltdowns from both of us. I wish I had found this sooner.
Me : knowing it’s my fault my dog is reactive
Him : you’re the reason your dog is reactive
Me : 👁️👄👁️
Good coaches tell us what we need to hear! 😂😂❤
My mom's dog has anxiety anytime she's not around and I told my mom that was her fault she did not want to hear that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent detailed video! Thanks for sharing with us. Much appreciated!
Best vid I've come across yet. I'll be putting your methods to the test. Thanks a ton.
Just the video i was waiting for!!!! I keep slacking on your site bro! Heading over there now!!!
Love this. Can you do a video on resource guarding? growling and trying to protect high value toys, bones, kennel, etc?
Thank you so much for these videos! They are sooo helpful!
the information in this video is so valuable and the transformation zeke goes through is incredible. thank you miles for approaching dog training the way you do.
THANK YOU mate ❤ what a video! So clear, so passionate, thank you! 🙏🏻
Im sitting in front of my mac, watching your video, listening carefully and most importantly eating my nesquicks one by one, thank you for making this video free sir.
You’re the best trainer out there! Thank you for this video! I’m going to possibly take your training course if I can afford it.
We started using this training and it has been phenomenal. We are trying to stick to everything you're doing in our dog has went from an erratic idiot to a calm walking, peaceful dog. We can't thank you enough and would love to learn and see more of your classes. Thank you!
I love hearing that 🙌 great work
I just want to say thank you! I think this is the BEST pet dog who has drive and frustration to meet other dogs mixed with prey drive. I created the same problem that Zeke had by watching multiple unnamed ytbers and 'socializing' my dog at dog parks because its so heavily pushed on this platform. He was already an extremely dog friendly dog, but by me taking him to play physically dogs at the dog park taught him other dogs mean high arousal play and/or threats, or passive victims to annoy. Essentially all dogs came to mean something both more concerning and more valuable to me. Tried u-turning this issue for 2 years with a positive only training (i am glad i learned that foundation though) but being aware that there is no positive competing reinforcers that will win, establishing a baseline with R+, plus more. Everything you did helps complete the picture. I'd also like to mention on the other end there are balanced trainers that try to form a narrative about handler leadership that gets in the way of communicating that watching your dogs behavior is critical for delivering good feedback for what you like/dislike and its refreshing to hear a balanced trainer not obsessively harp on 'respect'. Also your comment about keeping Zeke chill was very helpful. Otherwise the intensity can unexpectedly amplified by overchallenging him where he doesn't even know why hes being punished or what to do about it so he gets panicky/aroused. Speaking from experience.
Your description sounds exactly like my dog. Hoping the rest of the video will teach me to fix it.
This method was the only way and technique that helped my 9 month Australian Kelpie's reactivity! Thank you for the phenomenal and informative gem videos. It's been 3 weeks consistently using this technique and the improvement is day and night, although there are times where my pupper acts up (which is okay because he's in his teenager phase), it happens on rare occasions rather than every time!
Your Kelpie will probably only need to have a job when grown up.
Since I've seen you have so much insight then explain how you would solve reactivity from a one and a half year old mal and working line shepherd mix. We do confidence building, play, desensitization. You're predicting bad outcomes but you're gatekeeping a solution, so give us your way.
Thank you for the great video! I'm going to utilize these techniques with my English Bulldog who is just like Zeke
Thank you so much for this video again! Looking forward to new uploads from you every time.
You explain and show so well what to do and the result with Zeke is AMAZING! Well done you and the owner. I know it is very hard to keep up the work. I am failing my way forward with our dog. We will get there in the end with help from your lessons!
Your videos are so great! ❤
I am from Germany and am working on my dog's reactivity for 9 months (Dalmatian, 18 months old), twice daily, long sessions, being really consistent.
But only since I have found your video's I really start making progress. All other methods, even from in person trainers here, only worked for about two weeks, then all restarted again.
Here in Germany prong collars are not allowed.
I am still working on reactivity, but it's really getting much better.
Thanks a lot!
Hi, I'm in a similar situation with my dog. Interested to know what you used instead of prong collar? They aren't illegal here but they are very controversial.
Thanks 😊
After using some time a normal collar npow I use the harnish only, even all trainers say that that don't work. But I do not want to hurt the dog at the sensible neck.
The key I think is
1) training the dog proper leash walking as this trainer here explains it
2) to learn him to wait and resist temptations increasing the time before he gets what he wants to about 15 minutes or more.
3) Keep distance to other dogs and only over time get closer to them as he shows less reactivity.
4) Distract him from the other dog e.g. continuing leash walking training, or making him sit or lay down, or if the reactivity gets less, make heel training even without leash and reward him with lots of treats treats.
5) Don't pay attention to the other dog yourself, ignore it by looking straight.
6) Don't over excersice. Let your dog enough free time to run and sniff. For that it is important to work on a reliable recall.
Don't lose patience. So your dog knows that you are reliable and you always react the same way in certain situations.
Thank you so much for this. Trainers near me want $250 for a 90 min session or thousands. This is super helpful and I’m going to start with my dog today!!
Absolutely love your videos! Super fun to absorb information with your attitude in teaching. Thank you!
This was an amazing video and breakdown.
Thank you so much again. I ordered the prong collar. Waiting on it to start training loose leash and i'll go from there. This is what so many people need.
it's for the dog to realise he pulls too much, if anything, but not for you to pull much to punish, please.
I am very grateful for your video and your clear training! I have been struggling with my dog grabbing the leash when he gets aroused. I can now see my mistakes in handling this situation. I need to be ahead of the game and correcting when I see him start to get excited before he grabs the leash. Once he has that leash, I can't correct him. I am going to be working hard on this concept. Thank you.
Best dog trainer and teacher I've ever seen. Making progress with my fear reactive border collie just by watching your YT videos. Hoping to get your course soon.
Thanks for all your help. You are doing a great job. I hope this will reach as many dog owners as possible.
This is a terrific example ..my dog is just like zeke. Thank you. ❤ i obviously didnt punish behaviour...and i didnt mark unwanted behaviour. Plus i didnt correct soon enough. Thank you. I have subbed and will save up for your online course❤❤❤
Very informative video - thank you so much
Great session amazing I have a 7 1/2 month old border Aussie Cross and she’s not reactive but she thinks she can go up to every person and every dog and so we’re working on that and we’re gonna start working more on the loose leash. just got her a small prong collar a few weeks ago and I’ve noticed a huge improvement And then started training her with a slip lead and it was like it run backwards. We’re also inside like Canadian tire you know different places where you can take your dogs inside with there’s other people and things and without the prong not paying attention just put it that way anyways we keep working with her and thank you for your videos. Very encouraging.
Your analogies are brilliant.
Thanks for this video because its helping me so much. My dog is exactly like her dog and escalating. I've had two border collies before and no problems with them but my new border collie is different, harder to control even though he was trained just like my other two. I think he has more prey drive, and gets frustrated easier. He's a border collie but comes from cattle herding lines so I think that might be why.
Great dog trainer, even better human trainer.. which is arguably the majority of the work. It's amazing how solid training advice applies to humans as well. Good dog trainers are on par with the best psychologists imo. Subscribed.
I appreciate this! Time to put in some work!
You are the best trainer. Keep the good work
I have two Saint Bernards ❤. Bella runs with me all the time but totally 💯 what you said. I want to fix this because it’s not fun anymore because she’s so reactionary on the leash. Thank you for this and I totally agree 👍🏻
this is great work. thanks man!
Great video. I’m sure you have helped a lot of people who can’t afford or cannot come to you for this type of training. That’s true love for dogs and the need to help people is genuine. Thank you.
Thank you for this one❤
This is excellent!!
You are so young. I am impressed with all this knowledge you have about dogs & training. Where did you learn all of this?
Great channel thanks i am from PERU realy learning a lot ❤
You are an excellent trainer!!! I wish I knew you when I had my Shepherd because she was worse than Zeek. She was reactive to go after other dogs to attack them & I couldn't handle her anymore & I wound up giving her to a friend of mine. I could not fix & train her!
… Thank you for sharing. Me and my dog appreciate it …
I am so happy I can study your videos! Here where I live dog trainers are very expensive! Thank you. Much love from Brazil!
Great video. Learned alot.
Bro thank you. Great resource
Definitely a lot of commitment for good results.

This guy is amazing!
Best leash loose video hands down..!!! Thank you!
I really like this video. We hope to try this with our 8 lb rescue dog. He is a sweetheart inside the home - with everyone and towards our 80 lb Goldendoodle and 12 year old cat. But outside the home he is laser focused on other dogs. We have tried treat training - he doesn’t care about the treat. We have tried a harness and a training lead, he pulls with all his might. We have found the gentle leader helps with the pulling. But once a he spots an another dog in a walk, he goes crazy. He pulls, spins around, barks so loud. We hate to tug on the leash to hard in fear of hurting him. When he gets reactive we keep walking and try to say a word to him. He will keep pulling and barking until the dog is out of sight.
The video is great. Do you have an alternative suggestion to a prong or choke collar? I ask because they are illegal here in Switzerland, where I live. Thank you!
Appreciate most of this video We rescued our dog at 1 years old who already came with all these behaviors so it was nothing that I personally did so I'm trying to work through that but otherwise pretty good information
I am going to use this in my training with my leash reactive 11 mo old GSD - he hackles up and barks just coming out of the house , super high drive working line shepherd.He’s a challenge
ty...... what ever it takes .... save/ protect dog from getting in trouble... ty
Some of the best knowledge for free
I know when I first got my dog Freya who is 1 years old who I rescued her past owners used to keep her outside in a backyard all the time and when I first took her on her first walk she had some reactivity and I've been working with her with a prong collar and safely introducing her to other dogs and other people and new smells and it has helped so much I also want to add that some dogs may have high anxiety and that could be a reason why they have reactivity
thank you so much for this video
I loved so much of your explanations mate... Are you a follower of Jay Jack and his theory/prac?
This is amazing. You sir are an awesome human being therefore an awesome trainer, thank you for sharing this video and hard work/ knowledge with the world ♥️✨🙏🏼
Have you ever owned or fostered a rescue? I'm curious.
Hello first able thank you so much for this video I’m a new dog trainer. You have no idea how your videos are very helpful sometimes I have a hard time explaining what I do. But you make it so clear. Btw I’m in France and would love to buy your ecollar training. Is there any way I can pay in 4 times even from here ? I’ve tried but u have to be American I think 😅 if it’s not possible I’ll buy it eventually I can’t wait and again thank you for your content !!!! We all appreciate u
Possibly one of the best videos on this topic I have seen. Can you not do this with e-collar or is the e-collar just for recall and emergency situations? Great work
You could, but I wouldn’t recommend it. There’s too much room for error
You’re a badass dude, your channel deserves way more love. If you see this and you have the time. Any tips for getting a dog into the car? Recently adopted a 10 month old bully pit mix her training is coming along great. Have her conditioned and responding well to the collar but I can not get her in the car. I mean I can and have physically lifted her into the car but she has no will to get in any car. I have tried treating her into the car which worked the first time we used it but now she wants to lay down about 5 feet from the car. Looking for any advice you’d be willing to share. If you were closer we’d be there but I’m in Atlanta. Hope you’re doing well and I’m ready to watch you blow up. All ❤
Make light directional pressure on the leash, and don’t release it until she takes a step forward and/or jumps into the car. Mark and reward incremental progress along the way.
Basically, just make it happen, reward, and repeat until the dog is totally comfortable getting in and out, and you no longer need to use pressure.
Try using a high value treats and try practicing your dog to jump onto stuff like a bench and reward/praise your dog and sometimes a short run up will help
Dog ramp
I love your video presence....You seem so trustworthy. But like I have been burned so many time trying to help my boy out. He's a 3 year old pit mix who we adopted Feb 2023 and he was returned three other times due to his reactivity being deemed as aggression.
Are there any guarantees on the product?
We are looking to adopt again to help get one of these amazing pups out the shelters, but we want to be sure we are the best pet parents we can be first.
Thanks for anything you can provide :)
I really wish I could afford your training course. Your teaching style is the best I've ever encountered and I have no doubt I'd be able to transform my relationship with my dogs. I'm very grateful for the information you share here!
Prong collars don’t need to be used all the time but they work for reactive dogs. It’s good to learn different techniques. This was a wonderful lesson. My wish is to walk my German shepherd off leash one day . Super
best video ever.... insight so great..... so many dogs get labeled aggressive and get treated poorly especially strong athletic sheppards.... .... but some are fearful others are like this like the reactivity with lack of leadership while others ( very few) are really aggreive.... ty dear for taking on all those that think positive reinforcement is the inly way........maybe if done when 6 months or less but by now it must be firm..... no wonder even the bible says "spare the rod and spoil the child( dog...etc)"....ty
Thanks for the human training tips…
Makes perfect sense
Can’t wait to start but still healing from a broken ankle
It’s been fun managing an 18 month old GSD when your 62 and broke my ankle dirt bike riding
Lots of wrestling and tug while I get on my feet
GSD start growing mature with 2 years. Until then and maybe a little longer, you will have to help your dog get through puberty. Please don't put on a prong collar and then pull on the leash like this guy does. Your dog might be submissive for a while until you take off the prong collar or until he gets used to the pain you are causing when pulling the leash that hard.
And please don't expect your youngster to accompany you on a bike. His puberty mind will see and taste and smell sooo many interesting things in the environment. Just help him through these times of chaos in his mind and body, that controls him. Simply walk with him in nature, explore the environment together with him, investigate together with him what you both see and hear and smell. This will deepen both of your feelings and tie the bond of yours yet a little closer. Then, when mature, your dog will respect you and he will be thankfully follow you without being submissive. A GSD or an Australian Cattle Dog aren't breeds that fare well with pressure that sends them straight into submission. Also most Molosser breeds won't return respect for submission you forced on them. Please take your time to study the different life phases of your breed, then you can have a wonderful lifelong experience with your dog. 😊
First timer here! Thanks for the clarification and the knowledge. I have a 14 months black GS and he's good but I had a lot of confusion with other trainers exercises. I was not doing it correctly, now now I know better. He likes to go for his leash instead of a toy. is it ok? Thank you very much again! Buen dia!
I'm really learning from your videos. Congratulations! Can I use a unified leash for dog reactivity training instead of a prong collar?"
Thank you. My lab / hound mix who is 2.5 is excellent on leash but when he sees a bigger dog coming towards him who is also being walked on leash he barks and lunges . He is 48 lbs - so do I need a prong/ chole collar or I can do what you have shown using regular collar and harness ?
Thanks for the video my girl is the same a him. I’m hoping this works I’ll try for sure.
I'm watching this video now and am sure I will learn a lot. However, German Shepherds are known to be trainable. I have a Beagle, and this behavior and the barking seem to be hardwired in this breed. I've had many dogs in the past 70 years, all rescues. This is my first Beagle. Back to the video...
Basically another thank you and all the comments say it all. It didn’t take more than a minutes of watching one of your videos I stumbled across and I was hooked with your way of thinking and training.
Can you talk about incompatible behaviours versus differential reinforcement? When it comes to applying it to reactivity, but also the misuses of them? 🙃
27:00 I thought I was watching a N.W.A video. Pop pop 😅. Great video. Thanks
I needed this today.
Thank you Sir, you are an amazing teacher.
I just (re)started dog sitting and walking, (but did this in college).
“Why, What, How”
Simon Sinek
One of the more in depth, thought through videos on the net. The only problem is that the idea of physical punishment (which is what a prong collar is) is considered medieval and even outright prohibited in a lot of regions - for good reasons. While correct, and highly specific, temporary use of a prong collar might not be harmful, it is a big challenge for legislators to distinguish between that vs dog beaters.
I do reactivity training and get the same results with force free training. No corrections needed! Just change the underlying emotion!
Let’s see it
You are an awesome teacher! Do you have a video about actual aggressive dogs? And how to handle the situation when your leashed dog is approached (usually fast) by a loose dog?
“It’s okay they’re friendly” means I have no control over my dog …
Very hard to train a reactive GSD when you’re always getting dogs charging up to us ….
