Dog Training Tip- Leash Walking: Go Sniff and Marking

[minihillary]

I have a 1 year old shiba, and she sniffs and pulls on the leash whenever we go out for walks. When i stop walking so that she doesn't continue pulling on the leash, she will just continue sniffing and ignore me. She also has this annoying habit of lunging forwards when she needs to poo. We have a problem with identifying who's alpha.. any tips on how to stop this? Does my dog need more exercise?

I really appreciate your videos on dog training and they help me in training my dogs, I like that you use only positive reinforcement.

my 12 week old rough collie puppy just sits on the ground and wont move :( any way i can stop this?

[mrsw0827]

My puppy hates her leash! I am going to PetsMart tomorrow to buy her a harness.

Also, she wouldn't potty. When she wasn't fighting she was just sitting. I had to pick her up and bring her back into the house. When I did that she ran to my bedroom and peed! How do I train her to potty outside or to at least try?

is it okay for dogs to mark in their own yard? or will they be aggressive to visitors? my german shepherd started to mark on walks, but i won't let him so he doesn't do it anymore unless he caught me off guard. my pitbull doesn't mark, but when he has to pee, he has to pee and it wasn't a quik spray, it was long so i know he has to pee.

[GrafferDusk]

Do you mind if i post some of your vids on Pitbull chat forums,

I would like to show ppl how great you are! :D

[53Playmate]

thanks for sharing great tip. I will try this with my puppy

[JiveDadson]

I've got two doggies that I walk together. One trains very well using clicks and treats. The other does okay with click-and-treat most of the time, but when we are out walking he is utterly indifferent to the tastiest treats. His reward is "Go sniff," and it works great. He has learned to give me just a hint that he wants to go sniff something, rather than trying to screech to a stop.

I have a bullmastiff name Memphis and he isn't a sniffer nor a marker. When we walk he simply stays by myside an stops when I stop but soon as we enter petsmart all bets are off for atleast 10mins till he calms down any advice?

ADD AND SUB ME IF U LUV DOGS!!!!!!!

[kgreej]

lirl, my dog knows "let's go" very well, so when you said it in the video she looked at me with her ears perked like, "we're goin' somewhere? where we goin'? you gettin' up? hello-oo?"

another great thing about the "go sniff" reward is that they eventually get bored of sniffing, and would rather walk instead.

Woah.... You have an easy to train search dog.

[nataliawasilewska97]

how do you teach the dog go sniff??? And pea on command??

[chezzebait]

Excellent walking video, thank you :)

[ZandersStory]

5*s! Excellent tutorial, Emily!

[tehrenberg]

You had mentioned this to me a while ago, so I've been using the method for more than a year now, and it works splendidly. I even use it on my friends dog, since he's used to her letting him mark anytime he likes, and he's totally cool with the tug and a 'let's go!'. I don't think it's polite to let a dog relieve themselves on peoples plants, lawns, or on public sidewalks. Mi is completely cool with waiting until we get to the park. thanks Em.

[Kabukihomewood]

Could you please tell me what kind of harness your lovely dog is wearing in this video? Thanks very much.

[kikopup]

It is just a back harness that I have clipped to the O ring at the front, you can see a better shot of it in the Loose Leash Walking Equipment tips video, at some point I show it off.

[martaepaprika]

good video!!!

[tab289]

Good stuff! I was going to touch on this in my next video :-)

[kikopup]

you still should! :) The more tutorials on humane dog training out there the BETTER! :)

[sgardenswartz]

@kikopup any advise on running with a dog? I have a 1+ yr old rescue. He loves to run with me but pulls exp when a rabbit is visible.

[PheobieandHarpo]

good job

[1949pink]

As always a great help. Thank you.

[instagasm]

very well done as always :)

[newbear95]

Great video! I will try this out with my dog.

[hdsheena]

Amazing video!!

[KrazyKai0905]

Awesome. I need this for Kai, because she crosses over me to go sniff people and dogs that we pass on our walks. It's an issue, and she's ALOT stronger now, so it's harder to keep her in a heel(normally I don't have to restrain her and she heels, but when someone comes by, she pulls and I have to hold her back).

[zsianz1]

great information as always. I have used this kind of idea with Holly a lot because she just wants to sniff at everything when she is out. your videos are such a huge help :-)

[Adipatus]

This is gold, Jerry, GOLD !!!!!

[marixels]

hey kikopup! great video as usual!

I have a question,your dogs only get to sniff around if you say "go to sniff" ?

[kikopup]

Well for my dogs, they can sniff as much as they like as long as the leash is loose, but the times that we reach a field I will follow them around for a couple of minutes so they can get mentally tired out by checking out the whole area.

[marixels]

thank you!

[courtneyj4657]
