Exactly the video i was looking for, taking our 18 week Cocker for a walk is like flying a kite in a gale!
what a great description - my spaniel too!
Exactly how I describe mine
I’ve found the best way to stop him pulling or being unfocused is to let him have a long free run first then he’ll happily walk to heel off lead or on lead even with loads of distractions. He’s only 18 months so still bonkers. He’s so high energy he finds it really hard to walk slowly until he’s burnt some energy off.
I think our cocker is similar. He doesn't pull because he's anxious he's just desperate to run off in the forest. He's a lot better on the way home 🤣
I'll try that. We have a just turned 1yr old springer and it's like she's in a world of her own when out on short lead, she's hit and miss with reacting to your voice to stop pulling we praise and treat her but then she's back at it again. windy days forget about it. Every leaf, paper whatever she's going for it. You can call her back till you're blue in face and nothing. We have a 15 metre lead and let her bomb round she comes back turns when called etc but still not ready to let her off fully.
With my Toodles I used redirection, But I also used a stop. Toodles would sit by my side in the stop/heel position. I love this video so much. Its positive recorrection.
Cannot fix the issue with my springer spaniel
My cocker seems to have improved from using a slip lead, and the turning into them/changing direction thing.
Thanks very well explained for a short 5 minute video!
Going to have to try this on my parents youngest Springer Spaniel as she's currently a nightmare on the lead.
But she has fantastic recall off lead and really wants to learn and please.
Hopefully I'll be getting my own Springer pup in November so it will be good practice!
Hello, I've just discovered your channel, and wondered if you can make a video on spaniel aggression? My springer can be reactive and aggressive towards other dogs and protective over me. I've heard this is a common problem with springers.
How can I transition from a slip lead to a regular flat collar ? Or will I forever need the slip?
With my retreiver I used a harness that allowed me to clip the lead on to the front of his chest. If he pulled hard enough, he ended up turning himself around facing the other way. Soon gave up. Along with clicker training and treats, he stopped pulling. If he pulled or got ahead of me, I turned around. He quickly learned that if he wanted to go 'forward,' he had to do it on my terms. But I also learnt to speed up my own walking a bit. He had 4 long legs and his human was just too slow for his energy levels! Combined with some good off-lead runs in the fields (with proper recall training) he was always happy to walk by my side.
I have done all of this with my springer spaniel, she still gets distracted and at 3 years old I constantly still have to train her or have a treat out that is the only way she will heel nicely, will I forever just be training her, also if anyone else takes her for a walk she just pulls them I feel awful and I really have trained her so much not sure what else to do
Are you turning around when she gets ahead of you? Before she gets to the end of the lead? I turned, walk the other way and then turn back again with my dog in the right place. I remind them to heel. If they get ahead again I used to remind them and turn around if they didn't obey. It's a gentle way of saying 'if you want to go forward, you do it on my terms.' As a puppy, we ended up just pacing the same bit of pavement for a day, but he got the message eventually.
How do you teach a reactive spaniel to walk to heel, her reactiveness is anxiety based she is 12mnths old.
Exposure. Try making her sit and walk near the anxious thing, while you are calm. Eventually she will learn to be calm around the thing she is anxious of. If she's scared of something, turn her around and bring her back to it, so she can learn that it's nothing to be scared of. And perhaps speak to a specialist, who may be able to help.
Ialwsysfpundthatspoolswhatwould have been A nice walk
What about dogs who aren't food motivated, why is this never covered?
a reward doesn't have to be food.. It could be a voice inflection, a happy dance, a game of tug, a little fuss.. hell, some dogs are ecstatic just because you look at them :) So do whatever you think your dog might like :) And if it doesn't react happily to any of those.. figure out why and work on that :)
@s He is motivated by retrieving. I have harnessed his prey drive using inspiration from the book "Hunting together" After lead training from a pup and spending £250 on one-to-one training. At 2 I now walk him off-lead twice a day. He does enjoy the praise but certainly not on parr with the retrieve itself and not enough to counteract the desire to pull. It would be good to see videos with different scenarios not ones that are the easiest to fix!
@@chloesmith2065 Fair.. but ultimately, Will's running a business, and we should be grateful for the free content... Some trainers don't share anything unless you pay.. So....
My cockers are so naughty and very intelligent, they use it to get what they want not what I want :(
I don’t know you but. You’ve got to be assertive. If you’re a low confidence person or they know they’ve got you round their little finger they’ll pick up on that
I’ve watched this video multiple times just as I’ve watched the 14 minute version one multiple times. This guy comes across as a student who is giving an oral presentation on a book he hasn’t read. He babbles on at top speed and rarely gives any practical advice. I’ve found most of his videos to be worthless.
