Our nephew, Connor, takes our Dobie, Apollo, for a walk. My apologies for the wonky audio in the beginning! Apollo was trained using only positive reinforcement methods (treats and attention when he did well)... no choke collar necessary!

  • Very well, in fact dogs are better of lead by verbal commands than a choke chain . My rottweiler can be seen at "Rottweiler went hiking", no chains at all.

  • @168mightymark I will check that out, I love Rotties! And you are very right about the training method. Because Apollo was trained with no chains and a slack leash he is as obedient off-leash as on. I could've done this video without the leash but I do like to use it as a safeguard; he is a dog and dogs are not infallible. But my point is, if we are walking and I reach down and unhook the leash, nothing changes. It is his training and myself that keeps him by me, not a piece of nylon.

  • Good video. I guess the dog would be pretty intimidating to someone who didn't know how genle he actually was. I know I'm very careful around dobermans and dogs of that size

  • @musicianforjesus I don't blame people for being scared of him before they meet him (I love him to bits but I realize he is a big dog and some people are scared of big dogs), but on my husband's side there are some family members who refuse to visit the house because of him. :[ It's really sad and ridiculous. He is five years old now and has always been this wonderful but they won't give him a chance.
