How to teach your dog to STOP pulling! (part 1)

While there are many dogs that pull on walks, any dog can learn to walk calmly on a loose leash if we create a positive learning environment and teach them in the way that their minds understand. Find out how using positive reinforcement you can condition your dog to stay next to you and stop pulling when you take them for a walk.


****This is one in a series of dog training tutorials that I have made. Clicker training is demonstrated in this video - but not fully explained. Check out this video for a better explanation of how it works:

@jbeyer243 I completely disagree. There is no nothing dog should do for you by default. And they DON'T understand that you're master and they should please you forever. You firstly should become valuable for your dog. Make your dog want to work!

I love your philosophy and awesome training! One question - when a dog pulls against the way you are walking (like they stop and go for a tree along the sidewalk for instance), what would you do? My dog is a large breed, and I have been a bit inconsistent with her. This is my fault and I take ownership of that, but is there still hope for training? She is 8 months old. and pulls a LOT, and is CRAZY around food (must be in kennel for our mealtimes). Any suggestions Thanks so much!!

There is some really excellent advice and tips on this video, and I'm so glad you've used a larger dog here. It's easy to click a small dog before it surges ahead, but when you have a GSD or an ESS, two steps and they are already close to pulling. I like the way you stop and change directions. And your dog is an absolutely beautiful, one of the prettiest GSDs I've seen in a long time.

my dog doesn't pull, he sits! he is fine with the leash on when im not holding it. so, when he sits i call him to me and reward him, but then he sits again. i've never trained a dog before, so i don't know what im doing. please help...he's a great dane , so this is kinda important before he gets too big.

@axelflintstone , patience is the key. Watch more vids. You can make it were you can eat and your dog lay down and wait to get something when you finish. 8 months is young and a good time to train your dog. I love the way he show people how to do it.
