Loose Leash - Family Dog Training

loose leash walking
How to walk your dog on a loose leash is something most of our students request. However, trying to teach this, or even demo it in the exciting environments where we train is almost imprssible.
Instead, we have put together these videos demonstrating some very experienced dog trainers teaching loose leash walking.
Yorkshire Canine Academy
At 36 minutes, this is a fairly long video, but stick with it. Note his two big points:
1) exercise your dog FIRST - or as he puts it ""take the edge off" all that pent-up excitement.
2) train this in a boring envirorment.
Jacob Morgan is co-founder of the Yorkshire Canine Academy - a collective of experienced dog trainers and behaviourists practicing out of their Leeds, Yorkshire.
American standard K9
Garret Wing of American Standard Dog Training has several decades of working with the police in South Florida training their K9 working dogs.
His methods are no-nonsense and can be adapted to any size dog, but is probably more suitable for larger breeds.
Although he doesn't emphasize it, note that like the first trainer, he is also training the dog in as boring a place as possible - in the middle of a wide road in a very quiet area. So start "boring" and work your way up to everyday exciting.
Second, he only expects the dog to loose heel for a short time, and then rewards with "free" time to sniff and piss. Remember, your dogs are pets, not soldiers!
His YouTube has 2.36M subscribers with 1,605 videos and over 1B views. So I think that says something!
