In this video I wanted to show how to get a dog who isn’t wanting to walk, to walk.
At the start you’ll see me demonstrating how pulling them will not work, they’ll put the breaks on more
At the end I show how to get them to move, use a higher tone, get low, carry on encouraging as they move

Love his run, Ronnie long legs
With training videos online you often see the before and after, well here’s the in-between
Training takes time, patience, repetition and consistency and can be boring but they will get there.
The techniques used here are stop and wait. When he pulls I stop and stand still, I do not pull back, I wait for him to make the decision to make the lead slack and then he receives verbal praise. I didn’t need food.
I also implemented the 180 technique, As soon as there is tension on the lead, turn 180 degrees and walk in the opposite direction straight away. Then turn back and walk the correct way.
As you can see he got there - the pining you here is him trying to work out what it is I want from him
🐾 Making sure Elbie is well looked after for his owner, he’s a sweetheart 🐾
Found one time for training with one of our own dogs. Low distraction area
Wilson doing really well with his impulse control and waiting calmly
Ronnie made a friend today, a beautiful husky called Nova! Isn’t she lovely
🐾 Our regular walker Wilson, our working husky in disguise. He’s been a lot more energetic this week and has gone back to pulling a lot, however on every walk we take him on we get him remembering his training, that he’s learning elsewhere and we are providing the methods he been taught during his walks with us. He also waits consistently when asked. Getting there, consistency is key 🐾
Started some lead work with Milo this morning :)
There is no better teacher in the training world then another dog, and I’d argue more so that a female dog is the best, and above that a mother dog.
Gracie doesn’t look like she’s doing much here but she’s a super calm energy for Milo to learn from. There is a dog playing in the distance something that would trigger Milo normally. Here he is taking Gracie’s lead and is looking to her for reassurance which she is giving with the energy she is giving off. In dog energy she is saying ‘it’s ok mate just come this way, that dog isn’t a threat to us’
If you look closely Gracie checks Milo, turns to check the other dogs energy and continues on her way which encourages Milo to follow. Making a nervous dog feel safe is paramount.
My training is all positive based, incorporates a dog helper most of the time. Patience and consistency and most of all kindness is the way to go.
