Watch every time I go in the street and my Beagle automatically stops, until I say it's OK (between :50 to 1:00 then again at 3:50 to 4:00 or near those times), because I trained him to never leave the yard without my ok. I'm also training him to start and stop barking on command. Bincy Boo is a totally reliable Beagle off leash WITH DISTRACTIONS ANYWHERE, no prong, choak, or shock collars, no food, no clickers (hands free). He is the dog in the neighborhood that people always compliment. He wasn't always this great, it took a lot of work in many different places, with more and more distractions, over longer periods of time, to reach this reliable level. Your dog is able to do this too, If your dedicated to take the time. Prior to Bincy Boo's training, I was told by everyone who had an opinion that "Beagles can NOT be trained to be off leash without shock collars." Well I'm glad I didn't listen to them. I will and do help people train their rescue dogs for absolutely free (even to off leash level), if you live close, and are willing to put in the time (MN).
@fergielion Yes, you can, and I did (also) use a long line at a park for off leash (just always think SAFETY FIRST). Off leash should really be called Distraction Proof Training, cuz to be 100% reliable off leash, your dog must obey you in the most distracting of situations. And the fence next to my house is temporary, cuz neighbor dog has killed other dogs b4 (more than once), so I needed an extra layer of protection for my dogs' SAFETY, and Thank You for your Compliments.

nice to see someone training dogs without pain and intimidation some typical trainers use...
refreshing to see a Minnesotan use a ecollar nicely, everyone I know uses them to only hurt dogs...:(
I saw in some of your videos you have a fenced yard to train in, could one get similar success in a unfenced yard on a really long leash? or with a fenced location away from where the dog would typically be? I wanted to train my rescue to be off leash, but our neighborhood doesn't allow physical fencin

I don't use any food treats at all. I use one of his toys, THATS ALL. My beagle has learned he must be obedient to get rewarded with his toy. As you can see in the video, he starts to jump on me once he knows I have his toy. I'm also training him to stop barking on command. He's a beagle, not any different than any other dog, excect they need to learn eye contact asap, or it's hard to teach a dog that always has their nose to the ground, constantly sniffing.

Did you always train him with food as a reward for doing the right thing? How old is he?
