Leash Training a Dog
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.
Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

This little segment will help you to leash train your puppy. This lesson is teaching a dog how to heel. Dog Training with Dave Melchionno. The entire video can be found at www.buzzcreek.com.

I wish he taught you how to train a dog that cant stand to be on a leash because she freaks out whenver i try to walk with her on the leash.
It’s dog, not dwag.

amandapandemonium what a silly comment - whoever would be training a 12 week old puppy on a leash is a little silly given they are want to explore and should be at that early a stage. Clearly a trained dog doesn’t need the same positive reinforcement as one that is being trained and that was the point being made. Choke collars are just plain cruel especially if used improperly. I tried this method and it’s working beautifully after only ONE DAY!

Give the man a break - clearly some of you people have never worked with a dog like a Border Terrier that pulls so hard on a lead in its initial excitement that it chokes itself. Pulling it back as this video shows makes a huge impact and likely hurts it less than allowing it to choke itself from its own pulling. The positive reinforcement when he heels (and yes, a treat for that behaviour) makes all the difference for ertive dogs. This video is great - excellent advice thanks for posting.

I have a little pom and I don’t pull his neck back. Instead, I train w/ lots of treats and hand signals.

Oh yes, I prefer going with the fads, as you so kindly call them/us, because you’ll get a happy, attentive and hardworking dog. I’ve seen it work, when I trained myself and I’ve seen it work for others.

Oh yes, I prefer going with the “fads” as you so kindly call them/us - because you’ll get a dog that’s happy, attentive and hardworking, when you are training. I’ve tried training a little myself and it worked out for me and I’ve seen it work, when others used positive reainforcement.
First: No I don’t …
First: No I don’t likethis method. I find it unnecessary to pull the dog back with the collar and a lot of dogs suffers from pain in their neck, due to the pulling back with the collar. Why can’t one just guide the dog how to do it with a treat instead of a tug? Or with target training? The dog doesn’t think it rules the world because it doesn’t get tucked.
The dog I have trained in heel was better than that dog after one weekend’s training with treats and the treat was gone at that time.

Thanks for the tips …
Thanks for the tips. The hands signals do not work for my dog (Mini Dachshund) as she is so close to the ground, she can’t always see my hand. Any form of choke collar causes her to gag, so I use a harness. She’s heeling beautifully.

old school is the best way. Don’t go with the fads.

don’t forget EXERCISE. Sorry, but I’ve been reading Cesar Millan and a couple other dog training books and training a dachshund who’s a little bundle of energy. Exercise, as in brisk walks WITHOUT distraction (Cesar calls it migration) as well runs drains a dog’s pent up energy and allows for easier training. Exercise is primary for dog obedience followed by training. Affection is last. Pick up a Cesar Millan book and read for yourself.
