Re: Walking to heel - what am i doing wrong
Perhaps you mean this YouTube - kikopup's channel - Barking- Episode 3 - barking on a walk -dog training?
The theme is rewarding and reinforcing attention to handler, there is a negative-punishment here as the dog is prevented from enjoying the distraction, but attention & following to handler is positively reinforced. |

Re: Walking to heel - what am i doing wrong
that's a nice video, very well made.
though dog training isn't some secret art and he talks about a lot of 'myths' that simply have no scientific or factual support. 'biting the leash' is NOT controlling the walk - in some cases. sometimes, yes, sometimes not. sometimes a dog has high levels of prey drive which means a dog just wants to bite and play. walking in and out of your door or walking in circles 55 times will get you 'so far'. a video for owners who will try this will spend YEARS (if not forever) walking around in circles with a pulling dog. does it work with some dogs? maybe yes, but if one dog trainer can train 'lead pulling in 4 sessions' and another says 'it takes patience, time, food rewards etc. and there is no 'set time' and it's up to YOUR LEADERSHIP. i would think the 2nd trainer just wants more money and more training sessions to tell you to walk round in circles - BECAUSE, walking in and out, just won't work in the long term and consistently. so the trainer will take money from you week in and week out rather than actually training your dog. because, if he actually COULD, or decided that he SHOULD teach your dog, then you won't be needing his/her lessons anymore. --- dog being calm before a walk? yes, it can definitely help to put the lead on etc. but does it mean it won't pull or it would 'decrease pulling' when you are outside NO. dogs don't have the capacity to relate such separate events. it's like saying 'i'll put the lead on when my dog is sleeping and lying down' so when i take it out, it won't pull...... i have dogs that are mental and will pull you on the lead. but as soon as you say HEEL, they will walk next to you, and for as long as you want until you release them. THIS IS training. Last edited by edidasa; 23-05-2011 at 04:54 PM.. |

I would get a clicker and treats, get her to watch you as much as possible and when she looks back reward her with a click and a treat and when she pulls change direction by says "this way" and keep changing so she understand your in control and she has to pay attention to you

Re: Walking to heel - what am i doing wrong
So many people get caught up with thinking the dog is trying to dominate you by pulling on the lead- he's a 'dominant' dog; he's the pack leader etc.
Why can't people use common sense?! ![]() For walking to heel, check out this clicker training program: The 300 Peck Approach to Building Duration and Distance Or if you're not using a clicker, how about this from Dr Ian Dunbar. I've seen this in action and I think it really does work. Playing Reward One Step & Sit | Dog Star Daily It's all about consistency, though. It takes time and patience, but once you've got some improvement, it won't be long. It's just starting it off. |
