Hello, i have a bulldog/cocker spaniel mix. He stopped pulling on the leash when we walked around the backyard, but when we tried walking down the block he kept pulling in either direction. PLEASE HELP
i am having such a hard time. I've tried the stopping while he's pulling and as soon as we start walking again he goes right back to pulling. I always make sure he walks towards me again before we start walking. I have also tried changing directions and he just pulls in the direction we change! its so frustating!!! help.... 12 week old siberian husky
I like what you showed us and I will try your techniques. I have tried hard but have never changed my walks as yet and will try it. It will still know where I would go but he may just learn to be more aware of me, possibly he trusts me too much. Do not try it on a busy road!
my pitbull rotmweiler (rocky) pulls on the leash when I go out with then when I drop the leash he gets all like sad and like dnt leave me but when I hold the leash he says like let me go u
I have a German shepherd/ black lab mix. And when I got him at 2 months the first time I took him walking he stayed next to me. And has stayed next to me for every walk since. It's astounding
After 3 weeks of being dragged along by my (surprisingly strong) springer puppy I decided to try this method. My clicker arrived yesterday morning and we started practising on yesterday afternoon's walk and he quickly got the idea. He was better this morning, and by the end of this afternoon's walk, he's definitely got it. We're not perfect yet by any means but the difference in the space of just three walks is unbelievable. I'm stunned by the results, and a complete convert. Thank you!
@kikopup or any body else.. Iv been working alot n out of the house to much, now I got time yo catchup on training my pitbull dog.i tryd walking with him but hes just a little wild on the walk.i pull yhe leash nack n treat him to stay along,but he eat the treat n goes back to his own.is there a quicker accute training I could used.like a choke collard,spike collard, shortning the leash for a while or idk.you or an ybody shud or could know more then me.lol thnx!!
Hello! Thanks for making these videos! I have been using your training techniques for 2 weeks and have seen a little improvement in my dog. We adopted him 2 weeks ago and he is 1 year old. I have a question. So, he is not ready to go out on the street for his walks yet because he pulls too much, gets too excited and does not respond when I try and coax him back to me. So, we've been staying in the yard and practicing. However, he's not getting enough exercise with this. How can I exercise him?
For 3 years I struggled with my dog.. i can't believe youtube helped, well actually your video saved me. I can't wait to try this. I live in the city so I'm gonna have to go in the park really early when there are no kids out. TY!
my dog is an angel indoors dose as shes told but the second you put her lead on she goes mad i cant even practice this indoors because she pulls like mad towards the door when we get outside all the things i taught her she wont do even if i get her attention she still wont do it and it makes me look stupid when i walk her she pulls towards other dogs to play but because shes a staffy people are scared and i look like i cant control my dog what can i do???
Hi Emily, I've been watching your all your dog training videos, specially the attention games and loose leash walking ones. I'm having a problem with my 5 yr old Border Collie, she is great inside the house and on our yard, but the very moment I take out her leash, she gets over excited and aroused, and I really can't make her even look at me. Any suggestions or ideas? I tried using high value treats, but she wont eat them. Same for toys. Thank you!
My dog can heel on and off the leash. When she is off the leash she dose awesome. The only problem is when she is not heeling on the leash. She will pull on the leash but if I tell her to heel she dose fine. How do I tech her the difference between heeling and being on a leash?
Really great video I know a little about walking dogs but the moving forward part is amazing and I'm about to go walk my dog and try it now thank you so much!!
@CALIFORNIAspaceship lol i had the same issue, i have a pitt cross staffy. but mine is only a pup, what i used to do is pick him and walk with him in my hand then put him down and he seems to get the idea.
if this dosnt work try just walking around the house with a leash and treat him every time he follows. biggest issue i have is him pulling on the leash too much, need to find a solution for that :)
Make your about faces suddenly and with some force according to the weight and size of the dog. Do this before the leash becomes tight. After a few of those, he'll want to keep an eye on you as to prevent this correction. It may seem harsh but its not. Otherwise he trains and controls you.
Anyone who disagrees has the right to do so and is welcomed if in a tactful manner.
This is all very well with a chihuaha and miniature breeds that even a child could walk, but what about other bigger breeds (e.g. alsatian or dalmatian)?
I have a golden retriever puppy--11 weeks old. He's doing pretty well on the leash, but he wants to carry it in his mouth the whole way. I've tried giving him something else to carry, but he'll only do that for a short time, sniff something else, drop it, and then go back to biting the leash. I've tried Bitter Apple, but that doesn't deter him at all.
would a dog being in front of the owner but with a little slack on the leash be considered loose leash walking? or does the dog have to be by ur side to be considered loose leash?
yeah I tried all that it doesn't work. The only thing that has worked is getting them to stop pulling is putting the collar on the weakest part of the neck when you walk.
Ive tried this with my 6month old standard poodle, and it works well. but i have one problem, whenever we start our walk, he often goes past me, unless i have my clicker with me and clicks before he does, then he walks nice on my side. how do i get him to always walk beside me? even if i dont have my clicker with me? will i alwaya have to tell him to? is it just that i need to train more?
This is a very informative video. The loose leash is the way to go and we all can learn to be better handlers. Dawggie Go Pak likes this video and maybe the Pak can help you on those walks.
Emily: My dog, Lobo, is great so far, but whenever I go to turn around, he stops. I end standing there with my back to him for a long time before he (very reluctantly) turns back around. This has been going on for a few days, and the time isn't getting any shorter. He's an akita/husky mix: VERY stubborn. Sometimes, training becomes a battle of wills. I'm so happy I'm an Aries and more stubborn than he is, haha. Great videos, by the way. You're so amazing.
My Golden-Lab simply comes back when i tell her to heal (i say backup) and lunges forward as soon as i start walking. She is on full speed no matter what.
So it works like this: She pulls the leash tight way in front of me, i stop and say "backup" and she backs up really fast and sits, and as soon as i take a step she lunges forward again ahead of me tightening the leash. She literally does not know how to walk at a calm pace. She's 2 and a half.
I have a deaf dog, and she's incredibly bright! I know these training tips would work well for my dog if she could hear. Can you think of any innovative ways of letting her know she's doing it right?
i trained my dog not to pull by just leaving the leash on him while he was in the house, so he just got use to having it. Leave it on when your cleaning the house or doing things around the house. When i took him outside he no longer pulled the leash. Not saying it will work for every dog but it worked for me
My dog is a mix Labrador, He is 8 years old and went to training as a puppy, sadly my family didn't go with me to all the sessions, so everybody spoiled him and his training is bad when walking outside. When we go for a walk he pulls desperately and wants to jump to explore and play with every dog. And If he finds smells from other dogs he will brace himself against the floor to lick and I have to pull him very hard. He's being wearing a training collar that hurts him during his whole life. Help
@dodgerbuddy7 I do have a video if you look up "what is clicker training" but I dont go over the basics of the basics. If you go to clicker training . com... they have some articles. My new puppy vids that go over the basics of behavior mod for puppies is on my website under new puppy vids - dogmantics
Very nicely explained. I use most of this technique with the assistance dog candidate pups that I raise for an agency. It seems work best with clicker training - AND handler consistency.
My only issue with this is the dropping of the treat on the ground. It dircetly conflicts with the concept of 'Leave It' and risks ingestion of something toxic.
You DO mention handing them the treat, but it sounds like an afterthought and I almost missed it.
@katboxjanitor I like to put food on the ground in training- especially with aggressive and reactive dogs- as it gets them to sniff the ground. The difference is I want pet dogs to sniff the ground, were service dogs can't really do that. Sniffing is calming, and reinforcing too. Obviously you need to train your dog not to lunge and eat trash in the street- but dogs can understand the gesture of putting a treat down means get it, and a mcdonalds wrapper not so much
@kikopup Thanks for that clarification. I actually found this video through a link someone suggested to people who indicated they were trying to train a service dog and found this video useful for LLW. Unfortunately, I cannot recall where, tho I did leave a similar comment on their posting as a caution, since the thread did not strike me as a formal training setting.
This is one of the better explanation\demo videos of this technique and we do appreciate it!
how do you use these techniques on large german shepherds? i volunteer at a rescue and they always pull. some of them couldn't careless about treats. it's so exhausting and i've pulled a few muscles..
@StevenFraser1980 In this video I am showing with a dog that doesnt want to eat either- yt search "No Pulling!: Clicker Dog Training " Basically your dog is too stressed to eat. A good idea is to go outside often and just hang out in a chair and work on settles outside even before attempting walking- when a dog stops eating it means they are so aroused their body is taking blood away from the stomach. You need to capture calmness first- see my "capturing calmness ' video too
Any advice how to train 2 puppies to walk together either on a double leash or separate leashes? I have tried both and they just want to chase and play with eacother. I was trying to take them to potty together as well as just to wall them.
That's very helpful. I am going to try that tomorrow. I have a quick question, I have 2 puppies, any tips on how to train them together to walk on leashes? I have tried to walk them together and on a double leash and all they want to do is play and chase eachother. I was trying to do this to start taking them to potty together. Any advice is appreciated!
Love your videos. Have you ever finished the tutorial for the barrier training? The finished product is amazing Now I'd like to see how YOU do it. I really want to give my clients an alternative to e-fencing but my starts have not been as bomb-proof as yours.
This video was so helpful! After practicing in the house for a little while, we went outside, and it was like I was walking a different dog. They stayed by me, and when they pulled I would call their name, turn the other way then drop a treat. I wish I would have watched this video years ago. I have never tried something that worked so quickly! Thanks!
So click? Like the clickers for dogs? I just adopted a 6 month old Basenji Shepherd mix, and he is very hyper. He jumps on you, and pulls the leash; and I have to constantly pull him around because he wants to be ahead of me. He's full of energy, and I mainly got him for a good companion; and a walking/jogging buddy. He's already attached to me, and we have a connection; but he seems to think he can do what he pleases.
@PossumFang To stop the jumping, what worked for our puppy was to first teach him the sit command. Then, anytime you want to pet him make him sit first, then reward him with a lot of praise. Also, anytime he seems very hyper and crazy, just turn away from him and fold your arms. This will teach him that when he gets to crazy play time ends. After he calms down a little you can resume play time. The most important thing is that you are firm and consistent.
@PossumFang Well as for walking u saw the video just practice,, for jumping u can do like this:when he jumps on you, say noo!!!-grab his forward paws and step on his backward paws(oc don't step on his paws like mad , just enough that he realize that u are not allowing that kind of behavior,I already saw that u receive a good replay but just in case that didn't work well try this method
the bigger dog is not 'calm and relaxed' and is not 'doiing what it likes to do, looking around and sniffing' at all, it looks at you for a treat all the time
Brilliant! I just got a new puppy, and I'm excited to teach her to be a "good dog"...my 8 year old dog is full of bad habits so I'm hoping to break those while training the new dog. Wish me luck!
your dogs arent even that good on the walk because they only look for food the proper training is a metal slip or prong coller using these properly has no negitive effect. Using these simply simulates the mothers nip on the neck so the dog naturally knows what he did was wrong.make your dog hold a sit before you walk untill you release him then say heel if your dog pulls give a quick pop and say No heel dogs will quicly catch on when your finished walking sit them and say okay and give freedom=]
this was very helpful for us. i likedthis video. We also allow our dog to walk on a relaxed retractable leash, and whenever i see him going ahead of me, i simply say, "With me", and he stops, or slows down until he is at my side, and he remainsthere for the duration or until something distracts him, like another dog. BTW, I noticed that you walk like a dancer. I used to be a dancer at one time iin my life. ONE TIME...lolol eons ago. lol. Thanks again for the video.
Give them leash,they chase a car and they die. Even with a trained dog, never give him too much leash that would get him hurt. Remember, a certain car might get his attention that no other car has.
yo everybody if youll have a chance can youll please check out my video and tell me what you think just search" smartest pitbull pup" or "956razorramon" on youtube.. my pitbull dro is only 14 weeks old..thanks
This has helped my puppy greatly, but what do you do if they work for the treat, but once they earn it, completely lose focus. or when they decide that they want to stop and sniff and absolutely refuses to move forward even when called?
I am a volunteer dog walker @ the local dogs home, I tried this out on a jack russel type i think I managed to get a loose leash for a few mins of a 30 minute walk, it's incredibly hard work, especially with the majority of dogs at the home as they are so ill disciplined, having been strays or neglected... can this method work on staffordshires, and other larger more strong minded dogs? your vids are very helpful, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Nice choke chain and a couple of sharp pulls on the leash. If that does not work. Lift the dog up by the leash until his toe nails just leave the ground. He will get it.
@actafewl The click means clicking a clicker. You can buy them at pet stores usually for under 5 dollars. They are very useful and many trainers use them.
I dont have so much of a problem of my dog pulling ahead anymore, i have a problem with my dog falling too far behind that i just keep walking and drag her momentarily. also, she seems to keep switching sides to walk next to me on. what am i doing wrong?
Hey, i tried your method, and finally got some results, i have a small 2 years old fox terrier, and he is better behaved, however, i seem to be stuck on his progression. He is better than before, but he still pulls the leash, i'am constantly calling him back (and he comes). Should i try different treats or something?
Great video, very comprehensive. Re: commenters w/ dog that sits and won't walk, i had that problem with my chihuahua. She would not take treats outside so we practiced inside but she would not walk on her leash at all outside. I read the Dog whisperer's advice which was to carry/drive the dog a few blocks away & then walk home. That worked a little bit but my dog still would not budge when we tried to leave the apt on foot. What finally worked was a version of the "ignore" technique that i saw
westmetal17, you can use some of their kibble for training sessions, or cut down on their kibble a few tablespoons to compensate for the treats. You can also make your own healthier treats by cooking boneless meat like chicken, pork, or beef.
@westmetal17 It may take a little while. It's one of those lessons you have to keep repeating daily for a few weeks or so. Just keep with it! It'll get there eventually. :D
please help mee! ive tried this method on my dog and he was doing fine but now hes back to his ways of pulling! he is a 9 month old siberian husky and he is soo strong! my hands hurt and burn when he pulls! today i walked him and i got soo mad! if you can please help!
If I could get my little TFT Zoey to do this..... I would be sooooooooo happy!! You give great tips and I will start practicing inside first, then we willl try the back and forth thing....then maybe we will go for a walk in a totally different direction. Right now the only time she does not pull is on the part of the walk in where we are near a busy street and I think that she is only was good then because she is fearful of the big cars and noise. Glad I was able to find your video :)
Does anyone have any tips on a dog that doesn't like treats while walking? Our pup will take them at first but soon (3-5 pieces) shes coughing on them and what looks like not even chewing them. she just wants to move on and sniff. I've tried standing and waiting for her to come back which has helped but the leash is still tight, she's just not dragging like a monster.
@jameskopacz Praise. Like, "Good Walkies!" I have a dog that dislikes toys,treats,human food treats. He's really difficult for a Golden Retriever! LOL But I can just give him praise or a 1 pat on the head and he excepts that as his "treat" or I say reward for doing what *I* want. :)
I think its better to dont make any noise or not patting your lag while your dog is pulling, because attention to your dog in this time means for the dog "NICE".
Maybe its better to only switch the direction in this time when he is pulling.
these techniques really work,my Border Collie walks nicely after 2 days, but heres a tip . When the dog starts understanding,dont give a treat EVERY time, keep it guessing.
I have a BIG problem with my new puppy. he is a 5 month old miniature poodle, and he bucks in his harness. he rather have me go with him then him going with me. what do I do? pull him along :{ plz help me Kiko<3
@TeddyPupWolf hey, ok dont give up on your dog, keep it close to you and have a short leash , like a really short one, or roll a leash up. make him/her walk behind you and repeat this everyday. Remember your dog needs at least 2 hours of walk everyday. just take cellphones with you and do buisness calls and everything
thanks for your video work! I have a 1 yr. old rescue pet who is not leashed trained, and she needs to manage Midtown Manhattan, soon. I will try to gain her confidence and co-operation by rewarding what she does right. peace
ok this is very clear , but i have a question, @ what point you stop treating your dog and this behavior will be natural, i dont want my dog to be waiting for a treat that eventualy is not going to come
I have a problem though. My 3 month puppy doesnt respond to my treats, she completely ignores them and pulls along. I tried taking her on walks before her dinner to get her to accept my treats but it doesnt work. Its only on walks does she do this, along with not responding to her name/recall/commands whatsoever. Its VERY frustrating :(
@psChrystine Make half his daily food as part of his reward. If he's hungry, he'll listen.
Alternatively, your treats don't taste or smell good. See if he likes bacon or some kind of meat. Dogs turn into genius' once they realize there's good food to be won.
(Also note "human-food" treats are terrible for them... actually, they're ind of bad for us too but we live longer and don't notice their effects for decades.)
@psChrystine Some dogs respond more to toys than they do leashes. Try practicing walking on a leash in the backyard until she gets used to it. Or, you could try to switch the brand of dog treats that you use. Sometimes dogs respind more to affection, so reward her with lots of love and praise. :) As for the name, get her outside alone and call her name. If she looks at you then reward her. But reward her AS SOON as she looks at you. Then start with the sit command. Then lie down. The stay. :)
Hello, i have a bulldog/cocker spaniel mix. He stopped pulling on the leash when we walked around the backyard, but when we tried walking down the block he kept pulling in either direction. PLEASE HELP

Make your about faces suddenly and with some force according to the weight and size of the dog. Do this before the leash becomes tight. After a few of those, he'll want to keep an eye on you as to prevent this correction. It may seem harsh but its not. Otherwise he trains and controls you.
Anyone who disagrees has the right to do so and is welcomed if in a tactful manner.

Ive tried this with my 6month old standard poodle, and it works well. but i have one problem, whenever we start our walk, he often goes past me, unless i have my clicker with me and clicks before he does, then he walks nice on my side. how do i get him to always walk beside me? even if i dont have my clicker with me? will i alwaya have to tell him to? is it just that i need to train more?

Emily: My dog, Lobo, is great so far, but whenever I go to turn around, he stops. I end standing there with my back to him for a long time before he (very reluctantly) turns back around. This has been going on for a few days, and the time isn't getting any shorter. He's an akita/husky mix: VERY stubborn. Sometimes, training becomes a battle of wills. I'm so happy I'm an Aries and more stubborn than he is, haha. Great videos, by the way. You're so amazing.

My Golden-Lab simply comes back when i tell her to heal (i say backup) and lunges forward as soon as i start walking. She is on full speed no matter what.
So it works like this: She pulls the leash tight way in front of me, i stop and say "backup" and she backs up really fast and sits, and as soon as i take a step she lunges forward again ahead of me tightening the leash. She literally does not know how to walk at a calm pace. She's 2 and a half.

i trained my dog not to pull by just leaving the leash on him while he was in the house, so he just got use to having it. Leave it on when your cleaning the house or doing things around the house. When i took him outside he no longer pulled the leash. Not saying it will work for every dog but it worked for me

My dog is a mix Labrador, He is 8 years old and went to training as a puppy, sadly my family didn't go with me to all the sessions, so everybody spoiled him and his training is bad when walking outside. When we go for a walk he pulls desperately and wants to jump to explore and play with every dog. And If he finds smells from other dogs he will brace himself against the floor to lick and I have to pull him very hard. He's being wearing a training collar that hurts him during his whole life. Help

smokeyjoe713 4 months ago
Very nicely explained. I use most of this technique with the assistance dog candidate pups that I raise for an agency. It seems work best with clicker training - AND handler consistency.
My only issue with this is the dropping of the treat on the ground. It dircetly conflicts with the concept of 'Leave It' and risks ingestion of something toxic.
You DO mention handing them the treat, but it sounds like an afterthought and I almost missed it.
katboxjanitor 4 months ago
@katboxjanitor I like to put food on the ground in training- especially with aggressive and reactive dogs- as it gets them to sniff the ground. The difference is I want pet dogs to sniff the ground, were service dogs can't really do that. Sniffing is calming, and reinforcing too. Obviously you need to train your dog not to lunge and eat trash in the street- but dogs can understand the gesture of putting a treat down means get it, and a mcdonalds wrapper not so much
kikopup 4 months ago 2
@kikopup Thanks for that clarification. I actually found this video through a link someone suggested to people who indicated they were trying to train a service dog and found this video useful for LLW. Unfortunately, I cannot recall where, tho I did leave a similar comment on their posting as a caution, since the thread did not strike me as a formal training setting.
This is one of the better explanation\demo videos of this technique and we do appreciate it!

StevenFraser1980 5 months ago
@StevenFraser1980 In this video I am showing with a dog that doesnt want to eat either- yt search "No Pulling!: Clicker Dog Training " Basically your dog is too stressed to eat. A good idea is to go outside often and just hang out in a chair and work on settles outside even before attempting walking- when a dog stops eating it means they are so aroused their body is taking blood away from the stomach. You need to capture calmness first- see my "capturing calmness ' video too

This video was so helpful! After practicing in the house for a little while, we went outside, and it was like I was walking a different dog. They stayed by me, and when they pulled I would call their name, turn the other way then drop a treat. I wish I would have watched this video years ago. I have never tried something that worked so quickly! Thanks!

So click? Like the clickers for dogs? I just adopted a 6 month old Basenji Shepherd mix, and he is very hyper. He jumps on you, and pulls the leash; and I have to constantly pull him around because he wants to be ahead of me. He's full of energy, and I mainly got him for a good companion; and a walking/jogging buddy. He's already attached to me, and we have a connection; but he seems to think he can do what he pleases.
How do I go about this? The walking and jumping?
PossumFang 6 months ago
@PossumFang To stop the jumping, what worked for our puppy was to first teach him the sit command. Then, anytime you want to pet him make him sit first, then reward him with a lot of praise. Also, anytime he seems very hyper and crazy, just turn away from him and fold your arms. This will teach him that when he gets to crazy play time ends. After he calms down a little you can resume play time. The most important thing is that you are firm and consistent.
mensensarah 6 months ago
@PossumFang Well as for walking u saw the video just practice,, for jumping u can do like this:when he jumps on you, say noo!!!-grab his forward paws and step on his backward paws(oc don't step on his paws like mad , just enough that he realize that u are not allowing that kind of behavior,I already saw that u receive a good replay but just in case that didn't work well try this method

LiquidRose84 6 months ago
your dogs arent even that good on the walk because they only look for food the proper training is a metal slip or prong coller using these properly has no negitive effect. Using these simply simulates the mothers nip on the neck so the dog naturally knows what he did was wrong.make your dog hold a sit before you walk untill you release him then say heel if your dog pulls give a quick pop and say No heel dogs will quicly catch on when your finished walking sit them and say okay and give freedom=]
mrfullback39 6 months ago
this was very helpful for us. i likedthis video. We also allow our dog to walk on a relaxed retractable leash, and whenever i see him going ahead of me, i simply say, "With me", and he stops, or slows down until he is at my side, and he remainsthere for the duration or until something distracts him, like another dog. BTW, I noticed that you walk like a dancer. I used to be a dancer at one time iin my life. ONE TIME...lolol eons ago. lol. Thanks again for the video.

Great video, very comprehensive. Re: commenters w/ dog that sits and won't walk, i had that problem with my chihuahua. She would not take treats outside so we practiced inside but she would not walk on her leash at all outside. I read the Dog whisperer's advice which was to carry/drive the dog a few blocks away & then walk home. That worked a little bit but my dog still would not budge when we tried to leave the apt on foot. What finally worked was a version of the "ignore" technique that i saw
cherokeebaby10027 9 months ago
westmetal17, you can use some of their kibble for training sessions, or cut down on their kibble a few tablespoons to compensate for the treats. You can also make your own healthier treats by cooking boneless meat like chicken, pork, or beef.

You give great tips and I will start practicing inside first, then we willl try the back and forth thing....then maybe we will go for a walk in a totally different direction. Right now the only time she does not pull is on the part of the walk in where we are near a busy street and I think that she is only was good then because she is fearful of the big cars and noise. Glad I was able to find your video :)

Does anyone have any tips on a dog that doesn't like treats while walking? Our pup will take them at first but soon (3-5 pieces) shes coughing on them and what looks like not even chewing them. she just wants to move on and sniff. I've tried standing and waiting for her to come back which has helped but the leash is still tight, she's just not dragging like a monster.

I think its better to dont make any noise or not patting your lag while your dog is pulling, because attention to your dog in this time means for the dog "NICE".
Maybe its better to only switch the direction in this time when he is pulling.

psChrystine 11 months ago
@psChrystine Make half his daily food as part of his reward. If he's hungry, he'll listen.
Alternatively, your treats don't taste or smell good. See if he likes bacon or some kind of meat. Dogs turn into genius' once they realize there's good food to be won.
(Also note "human-food" treats are terrible for them... actually, they're ind of bad for us too but we live longer and don't notice their effects for decades.)
Odbarc 11 months ago
@psChrystine Some dogs respond more to toys than they do leashes. Try practicing walking on a leash in the backyard until she gets used to it. Or, you could try to switch the brand of dog treats that you use. Sometimes dogs respind more to affection, so reward her with lots of love and praise. :) As for the name, get her outside alone and call her name. If she looks at you then reward her. But reward her AS SOON as she looks at you. Then start with the sit command. Then lie down. The stay. :)
