~Sigh~ Ya know, I can walk my two dobermans with a shoestring if i wanted to, once a dog learns to walk on a leash correctly its not like its only for that one leash lol. You really dont have to throw anything away. Buy some cheap leashes, and use your good ones later.

are collars a bad thing for a dogs throat? my german shepherd is 6 months old and pulls like a train. that can’t be good for his throat, I don’t know what to buy a harness or a gentle leader..it’s gotta be able to hold onto him well, it can’t slip off. I tried your tennis ball throwing technique.. my dog only drops the ball if I have another ball now lol..so now I play fetch with 2 balls :S

For beggin, ignore …
For beggin, ignore him completely. If he gets noisy about it, remove him from the room.
For the jumping/scratching on doors, you need to be there with him, say “No.” in a very firm voice. The INSTANT he comes down/stops the behavior, praise him and treat him. He will soon ociate the treat/praise with NOT scratching/jumping. Training a dog is very simple, reward what you WANT, remove good stuff when behaviors aren’t wanted.

That would never work for us because our leashes are way too thick. They are made like thick braided ropes. I`ll have to watch more videos to find another technique because these leashes were a little expensive so I don`t want to waste our money by throwing them out and buying more.

If you can not keep …
If you can not keep up with your german shepherd in terms of speed and endurance, you should not have one.

I run a seven minute mile and my german shepherd can run faster than me, but cannot run a seven minute mile. After 100 yards, he heels. I also practice benevolent leadership: stopping when he pulls, treating and affection when he heels.

Most dogs in the shepherding, working, fighting, terrier groups DO NOT want to walk. You should be able to at least jog/run/blade until they tire out.
