Adam Katz Shows Dog Training To Stop Pulling On The Leash

[crookedriverranchman]

this is not a dog pullingm this is a dog who is confused as far as what you want from her/him. The constant patting on the face is not giving the right information tot he dog as far as what you want. You would have made a bigger statement if you would have actually had a dog that pulled on the leash.... Just my thoughts...

Adam G. Katz is a highly respected trainer. I have started using his methods with unreal success. Thanks so much for a wealth of knowledge. My puppy is going to be a joy with the training I am learning from Mr. Katz. Thanks so much again.

Geez, some of the people writing some of the responses are just jackasses. This is why I will not post publicly any of my dog training. I rehabilitate aggressive dogs and you would be aghast at what happens sometimes.

Well... that's 4 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

This video is useless. It shows a dog tugging on a leash, then a dog walking nicely. Great.

Here's a thought.... how did you do it?!

Oh, and you might want to wipe the vaseline off your camera lense.... douche.

[crookedriverranchman]

is this supposd to be amazing stuff, looks just like every other dog pulling video

[dogsaremysoul]

so what do you really have to do? just keep walking her back and forth until they get the idea that their suppose to walk next to you?

[wellbehaveddingo]

its much more complicated than that, this video just happens to make it look easy because the dog is easy to work with. if your dog works simply for praise and has a low likely hood of being distracted (which is less than 1% of dogs in my experience) you might get the same results if you ignore his use of a correction and focus on what he does to bring the dog back into focus (turning) and to positively reinforce the dog for the correct behavior.

thanks. could you answer one more question for me? How do I make my dog understand the meaning of no? every time I tell her no she still thinks I'm playing even if I'm saying it in a low tone and not minding her at all? well she is only 3 months.. but yeah.. how do do that?

[blanca0287]

That first segment was considered pulling ?? I have a 6 month old big golden retriever and believe me when he pulls, he pulls !!! So much that my arm hurts like hell after. Luckily I have a trainer coming today

[cinnamontic]

so this it the after.difficult to discuss the results without seeing how she was before

[ladypasta]

Hmmm - sorry to be cynical but my 70lb Pyrenees mix would already be way out ahead of me and pulling with full strength if I let her leash out that far. I do better with a short lead.

[costaricajones]

Check out the web site. There is video of my using the same techniques on a Rottweiler and a Pit bull. Also-- keep in mind: It's a female Golden Retriever. And she's highly responsive. But the bottom line is: If you don't know how to use the technique, you'll have problems with any large dog.

[Julietspage]

This is my problem too with my male Pyr. He pulls so hard it is unlikely there is ever slack in the leash. I have a heck of a time walking him.

[wellbehaveddingo]

juliet,

this video isnt very great for showing someone how to work a severe puller. id suggest getting a new restraint (ex a harness if you walk your dog on a collar now) and begin working on teaching it to walk on a loose lead inside with few distractions. google "training levels" to find a free and complete guide to how to train your dog anything.

[votraginbot]

If this is REALLY the first time you met this dog, you're a lucky trainer :). It's obvious this dog have been before on leash, obvious she knows to sit next to the handler when he stops... a lot of obious things.And, maybe the most important - it's a labrador - dogs really interested in satisfing owner's wishes. Try the same thing with a rotweiller/German Sheperd / Husky ...who is for the first time on leash & street and let me know what happend. Best regards! JE

It looks like you're using food as a motivator. What happens when you don't have food?

[costaricajones]

No food. The dog is just highly responsive. I was expecting to need to use the pinch collar, but didn't. In fact, the chain slip collar wasn't even fitted properly, but she was so responsive, I just used what they had.

[wellbehaveddingo]

ed-

though he's not using treats, he's clearly using positive reinforcement. fortunately this dog responds to attention and praise, especially from a stranger. he gives one completely unnecessary correction at the end, but what gets the work done is repetition and positive reinforcement. if you're using food as a reinforcer, all you need to do is be sure and fade it before you're in a situation where you wouldn't have it. pair the food as a reward with praise and then slowly fade out the food.

We just came back from walking our three dogs: Winston/Clemenza, Boo and Mango, working hard to keep them from pulling. Tomorrow we will do this with them on the street in front of our house - timely! Thank you.
