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.

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.
