This is a very helpful video Emily. I knew that the yo-yo effect was reinforcing to Lilly (my Siberian Husky) but I couldn't figure out why. I tried this method and she hated it - but it worked. Whenever we stopped, she whine and bark. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear she was telling me off in doggy language. She's a diva like that.

Excellent video(s) do you have any pit bulls / bull terriers / dogo argentinos you do this with? or just the generally submissive ones?

Hmmm... My dog is often yo-yoing on the walks... Sadly, I'm not sure if there's too much I can do about it because she's just come to Sweden from spain as a rescue dog, she's very stressed and the enviroment is very reiforcing for her. I'll try to click her for staying with me but she quickly loses interest and finds the enviroment more interesting... :/ Hm. I use cheese for treats... What do you think, is it worth having yoyo walks until she calms down? any tips?

we had a major breakthrough - we click every eye contact the dog offers us. This helped a lot. The dog knows that it's the best to walk besides the leg but if she goes ahead and notice that I'm behind her, she self-correct herself and wait until I catch up. The leash is always loose. I can now walk relaxed along the sidewalk and my arm doesn't feel like it's made out of gum ;)

@doggydogma I have a sniff signal named "check it out". ok i will try my "let's go" get rewarded by a "check it out". Maybe this helps that the dog pays more attention to me. The sniff-situation changes day by day. Some days the dog walks like the first number one top dog by my side and some days the world is made out of smells better than everything my dog ever sniffs ;)

@peterl0815 - I have a cocker spaniel - a natural born sniffer :) I began to add a "go sniff" cue - by saying go sniff while my dog was sniffing. I would pair this with my movement cue "lets go". I reward the let's go with a go sniff - but I also will lets go randomly at things my dog is going to sniff, and encourage him to sniff at points that he may other wise ignore. This has helped my dog begin to pay more attention to me on a walk. Your dog is young so be realistic, but don't give up!

I wonder if the person that gave Tug up knows how awesome he is!

I forgot - my dog is a 6 month old puppy ... I think sniffing is a very normal behavior and it's often one of my rewards for the dog
