I hope they were your sheep Rex was in field with. Many farmers will shoot or prosecute loose dogs in field of livestock. Also if irresponsibly powners saw thus they would assume a loose dog in a field of sheep was ok. Sorry about the rant but i live in sheep country and can understand the farmer's point of view.

i have a dog just like sky his name is speedy

I love the guiding principle of this heel training. Not a forced training. Takes time and patience but well worth it. Im glad ive found this video. Thank you💗🐶

My dog has shown all signs of displacement whenever my husband gets home. Obviously he’s wanting to okay with him and excited to see him. Unfortunately my hsbnad doesn’t have the energy or interest and pushes my gsd away when he brings a toy. It leaves my dog confused and I’m so frustrated. I try to teach our boy not to push toys on anyone but it’s his way of trying to interact and displace his anxiety. Any suggestions please…

Thank you!

Thank you for the sound advice and will definitely help our rescue over come her anxiety by boosting her self confidence and start with the basics as you pointed out on the way forward helping her overcome her fear. Great video thank you.

Thank you a million. You are giving me hope for my puppy. ❤😊

I just rescued a 7 yr old golden doodle. He is walking on a leash beautifully, however he isn’t peeing or pooping. I’ve had him for about 16 hrs, he has drank 3x and ate once.

With positive reinforcement you can fix an animals behavior issues in 2 weeks.. With negative reinforcement, 2 days

My dog gets really up and hyper. If I give him a treat on the walk, would you know why it seems like if he starts to do a good job and not Paul and I give him a treat then he starts pulling again.

Scuffling feet! Genius!!!!!

This is something to Try, our 4 Year old Morkie, is beautiful, but always pulls when seeing other people or dogs when out on her daily walks, Thanks for the great advice Nigel.

Legend has it they're still running.

Dear Nigel, thank you for this terrific video and the gorgeous Jazz. I have a highly reactive Airedale Terrier. She is a rescue and is now almost 6 years old. Your methods make total sense to me and I can see the change in Jazz. I watched a free webinar with Doggy Dan who seems to have the same methods as you. I really like the thank you's when there is barking and removing from the space into a smaller closed space to think about things. My Airedale, Gracie, is highly reactive with other dogs but since I started using Doggy Dan's suggestions I have noticed an incredible calmness in her at home. Now that I have seen your methods out on walks, I will try them with Gracie. I haven't tried the flight method. I was walking past other dogs and distracting her with treats which clearly doesn't work in the long run. I'd love any other suggestions for her. She has had a lot of trauma in her life but I don't know exactly what it is. I never will but I love her dearly and want her to be happy and not feel the need to want to kill another dog or eat it for breakfast. I am very confident when I walk her and have come such a long way but the lunging at other dogs and the barking and wanting to bite them is a struggle to get in control. I really appreciate your videos and hope to come back to you with positive reports.

Truly beautiful. How’s the transition go back with mom?

I dream is to become a dog trainer

I've never seen a dog who looks IDENTICAL to mine. This is so cool! He's a rescue as well, so this helps out a lot!

Ditch the harness - they are made to enable the dog to pull: sledge, tracking, agitation. HARNESS - a big marketing con.

My dog aggressive food give me some tips

4:05 why don't you cite your source?

One puppy step 🐾🐕 at a time. So inspiring 🙏

my dog tries to bite me if I interupt the incounter I dont know what to do

My dog is border collie mixed we adopted her at 3 month's she scared to go outside and barks at every noise and jumps on our company i don't know how to stol her habits

Thank you for your video is giving me more confidence, that we are doing the right thing by adopting. Our Romenian rescue is coming next week 🤞🏻

This is awesome! I watched this video simply bc I was bored and then for fun I thought I’d try it with my dog. It takes patience, kindness, and repetition. It only took her 10 minutes to learn! I’m so proud of her!

Great video, will have to try these steps. We have a 2 year old German shepherd rescue with behaviour exactly like this, goes bonkers at the window, out on the yard etc…. Also very reactive to certain dogs/people on walks. Very stressful but determined to get her sorted. Purchased the book, thanks👍🏻

You talk about corrections. What corrections do you deploy with a harness? hahaha. And then, you expect Natalie as the owner to do the same as you do as the dog trainer with the same skills as a supposed dog trainer???? Have compassion for Natalie. Give her the tools that she needs to control the situation, which may involve a prong collar or an eCollar (extremely compassionate tools). But, set the owner up for success instead of prioritizing your stupid ideology about dog training. Be a REALLY compassionate dog trainer, not one that aligns with a stupid ideology.

Thank you again for explaining the language of my dog and how i can behave towards him to make his life easier and happier.

Hello Nigel. I find your videos really honest and inspiring.

Woof! Thanks for the video. Helped my human run better with me! Woof!

Thank you so much for sharing this realistic and super helpful video. My latest GSD rescue pulls like I've never known! Patience is a virtue I know but it's incredibly helpful to get a few new tips - like the shuffling and zig-zagging. Will definitely try them in our walk training. Thank you!

What brand of harness are you using?

I have two dogs. One is better than the other. Do I do these tips separately or can I train together?

What kind of collar and leash is that ? I have an American bully and he has so much energy people can’t come over because he loses it he barks cries and wants to launch at them or he hops to there faces

Always count on the garbage news for turning the funniest viral video in years into a negative thing.

Thanks to the owner for being so brave to be filmed. ❤ It's so helpful to see real life examples. We took our dog for a walk and my partner said oh wow she's much better, I was like uhuh I watched Nigel on CZcams! 😌

Very informative video.

At first it seems this dog needs exorcist

Eagerly awaiting part 2. Great video Nigel

Love how you taught us how to teach our dogs to walk and run effectively. Great video!

This is probably the most clear/simple video on how to deal with this situation

Great video glad you're making content again and giving people hope for they're reactive dogs👍👍👍👍👍

I'm a week and a half into rehoming a cavapoo. I can't tell how much of her behaviour is lack of socialization and how much is anxiety, but she's smart and we're making progress slowly, except on her reactions on walks. That's not going so well.

Man dogs are A LOT of work. Even if their friendly. But one like this. Wow. Sucks for the dog and everyone

this is inspiring, thank you Nigel.

Brilliant progress. Well done Nigel, First Class Training

Fantastic video as always. Looking forward to the next one

Another clear and concise video Nigel. Thank you. Main point being, never give up and going back to move forward.

I have an Australian/German Shepherd Mix..he’s so sweet..once you get to know him. but at first he lunges & barks a lot, especially when he doesn’t see the people coming:/ makes me sad, because once he meets other dogs he’s great! but people don’t usually want to go up to him because his teeth I think.. but he once he meets someone & if they move slowly lol then he’s fine!!:) like normal lol still working a lot with him, hopefully I can walk past people normally eventually😂he’s my bbyyyyyy❤
