- How's it going folks! In today's video I show you all how to teach your dog (and yourself) loose leash walking. In the first half of the video I explain the reasoning's as to why dogs might pull on the leash to give the human a chance to understand where the dog is coming from, and that they are in fact, an animal not a human. That still doesn't excuse any behavior that might drag the person at the other end of the leash through the dirt and mud! However, before any owner starts blaming their dog for their bad behavior, they should look into their own behavior and body language and how it might affect the dog's training. Remember, never blame the dog, if your dog does anything you don't like, it was likely a human mistake that caused the issue in the first place. Even so, don't let that discourage you, just listen to what your dog is telling you and work together to be the best team possible!
This type of lesson will take time. Learning anything new is a process not an event. Take breaks when you need to and have fun with your dog! =D
Let me know what you want to see next time and remember to stay positive!

Yes! Walk backwards, practice in the back yard, teach them how to use all their gear, and the most important spaz mode!! lol ❤
Exactly!!!!
THANK YOU !!!
This is great!! Thank you!!!
I'm glad you like it, best of luck on your training journey!! 🐶
I just got an 8 week old Shiba pup and I just realised that although my current dog (a Border Collie) is damn near perfect, can I hell as like remember how I did that (I had her from a tiny pup too!). I love that this video not only explained how to do the leash training but the psychology behind it too. Very cool and informative! Thanks so much 😊😊
Congrats on the new potato! I'm glad you like the content, I'm sure your Shiba pup will be a great doggo in no time! 🐶🐶
@@K9Tay I had her coming to her name, sitting and a few other basic commands in a day - she seems very keen to learn! I did briefly try a leash on her though and holy drama! not impressed! luckily she's not fully vaccinated yet so I cant take her out yet but I can't say I'm looking forward to it! 🤣🤣
That's awesome, keep up the great work!! Lol I know what you mean about a Shiba not being impressed with a leash! I had my Shiba pup drag a leash around for most of the day when he was a wee potato for the first couple of months. If I couldn't watch him, he would be tethered to his crate, or placed in a puppy pen. Luckily I never had any issues with him accepting a harness and leash 😅🐶
This video is so helpful! The way you teach works really well with my brain.
My condolences to your beautiful boy. The loss of a family member is so hard 💔 Take care of yourself and know that he’s still there in spirit protecting you
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that ♥️ I'm also glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Best of luck on your training journey!!
So... this dog accepts treats, my shiba doesn't. Like he likes me, he comes and cuddles with me... but he turns into a screaming banshee whenever I try to train him... because if I don't let him pull and drive the walk and choke himself, he will scream, even if all I do is a light tug. I don't have a yard because we live in an apartment so I really am at a loss... this is the 10th video I've watched and the dog doesn't behave anything like how my dog behaves when following the exact steps
Hmmm that's sounds like quite the predicament! I'll see if I can't come up with a couple of tips for you in a future video 😉🐶
I am in the same situation. Treats are useless.
I have never seen it before he just freezes and won't budge
I've made a video giving tips on how I might work on this behavior, it's in the playlist "obedience" and it's titled Shiba Stop Of Doom. I hope that helps 🙏
Thank you so much for these tips; some dogs are definitely easier to train than others; I'm used to schnauzers, but we just got a Shiba puppy, and he's far from easy. This video really helped!💝
I'm so glad to hear that! Sorry for the delay, I didn't see these messages! If you have any questions I'm here to help!!
Thank you! I needed this.
My female Shiba has a pretty small head so it's tough finding a harness the she can't slip out of. She'll bring her head down to her feet and stretch out, off comes the harness. This only happened a couple times when she was in her crazy zoomie(we call "crackhead") moment and only if I pull hard on the leash
My Shiba is an angel at home, but as soon as a leash is put on she turns into a crackhead. She's usually all over the place and she goes full mental when she sees other people and dogs. I want to socialize her with other dogs but the way my dog freaks out with excitement scares older dogs to snapping at my dog. I've had stubborn dogs before but this Shiba is determined to call the shots lol.
I know what you mean about the Shiba excitement! I'll try to cover this behavior in a video to hopefully give you a few tips of how you help your little "crackhead" 😂
Probably the best “true to life” training to walk video I’ve seen. I have a shiba who pulls like crazy except when we loop the leash through her front legs. After she walks a bit its a little better. She does the “backing up thing” because she seems to of hated harnesses. She has gotten loose twice and is very scary here in Florida when that happens. Right now we use a rope harness. She has chewed out of 4 other ones and this worked. But MAN does it get tight. Seems like the chewing has gone away. But not a huge fan of the rope harness.
Any recommendations on comfy (not confusing) harnesses? She pulled out of a collar and a flat-leash kind of collar. The other two we had were like jacket neoprene harnesses. She loved them. I’m sure they were delicious.
I like to recommend a martingale collar as it's used in many cases for escape proof dog collars, or you might try an x harness that is also escape proof. It uses the same idea as the martingale. Btw so sorry for the super late reply, I didn't even see these messages! Good luck with your pupper, hope you all are doing well!
Hey there, just subscribed. Loved your video especially after watching one from Peter Caine, uck. I was wondering if you have any tips for the dreaded Shiba sit. My 1 year old Shiba Leif loves to just plop his but down whenever and stare off into the distance. He gets really jumpy when i bring treats on walks so I've had the habit of just tugging and forcing him to keep walking so he doesn't think I'll just allow the behavior, but I dont like the look of forcing him to keep walking. I use a harness with so im not pulling him by the neck, but i feel like i look like a bad owner tugging his dog along behind him. If he needs to poop he walks great and stays ahead of me looking for a spot to squat, but as soon as he's done his business he's back to stopping every dozen or so steps. It's a specific behaviour i cant seem to find a video on, its always how to stop your dog from pulling, not how to stop pulling your dog. My partner and i would love to get some excercise to, but we can never keep any kind of pace. Thanks in advance, i can see you're great at replies 😊
Thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate that!! This is a great question, I'll try to make a video response to it in one of my next uploads, so stay tuned for that! Hopefully I'll have some tips in there that can help you all out 😁 I'm very familiar with the Shiba sit lol!!!
Hello, so I just watched this and it was wonderful but my dog is really different. He’s just three years old and I’ve been working with him since he was eight weeks old doing all the right things and from eight weeks old he’s been pulling on leashes even though I’ve stopped every time he went to pull and it’s just frustrating now he’s three years old and I believe I’ve done everything correct I even did try to use a head halter, but he hurt his head and neck with that so I don’t use it anymore. I use a harness with two leashes.
He’s just super hyper all the time so it would go outside and before I even take one step he’s pulling, and I tried waiting for him to go loose a little bit, and then I would either click and treat or say yes, we got to the point where we really couldn’t go even take two or three steps, and I’ve tried the method where you go the opposite way when they pull on the leash. I’ve actually tried a lot of methods. I’m just lost and what to do and maybe nobody can really help. Maybe it’s just him and I am going to have to except who he is anyway, this was very good and It put a smile on my face to see your dog so calm and walking by your side my dog loves to work. He has a drive that no dog I’ve ever seen has and he will kind of stay at my side but all he does is bounce up and down and I’ve tried scatter feeding and I’ve tried.
Actually, putting my hand down to his face so that he doesn’t jump, but the minute he takes the food he jumps right back up and down again it’s just complicated and he’s not a very easy dog to train although he’s extremely smart he’s actually one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever owned
Aw thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Maybe if you could show a video of how you walk with him, I could give you some pointers. It might help me to see how both of you work together so I can see what your timing is like, and how excited your dog gets. I'll be looking at your video about dropping the ball, in my next video, so hopefully I can help with that as well 😊
@@K9Tay oh thank you very much and I’m so excited and I will try to do a video with us walking but I don’t have anyone to tape it and it’s hard to walk and give the treats and video at the same time with the dog pulling as you can see, there is a couple of him by my side, but bouncing up and down up and down up and down and that’s all he does
Ok, no worries, if you happen to film it, great, but don't worry if you can't. Sometimes I'll set my phone or camera on a table or the ground nearby so I can film myself while working with the dog. That way I can watch my body language as well.
@@K9Tay oh yes, I have done that but you can’t get very far walking but I could try it just wondered if you watched the out and the two ball video thank you
No worries, even just a short video would be helpful, but in the mean time I have seen your video and I have a review coming up soon with tips of what I might do to help with the dropping of the ball. 😁
I just adopted a 10 month old Shiba from a shelter. He is well socialized with people but hates going for walks but what is even worse is he hates wearing a collar the most and won't go near harnesses. Every time he has one on he runs around shaking his head want to take it off and even tries to play bite if you grab him while wearing it. I don't want it escalate to actual biting one day. Do you have any videos or tips to teach a Shiba to take to a collar so that he will be able to be comfortable on walks? He has a lot of energy and I can't burn it off him because this issue. Any help will be appreciated!!
Thank you for the comment, I would be happy to make a video on this for you! Congrats on the new puppy!! ❤️🐶
@@K9Tay Thank you!! He is the sweetest boy. I just wish he can take to a collar nicely so I work on taking him for walks soon!!
So sorry for the delay, but I just uploaded a video explaining how I would go about harness training a wild puppy lol! Hope you all have a happy holiday weekend! 🐶
Great video! Definitely one of the best I've seen so far so I hope you keep it up. I also have a Shiba which are very stubborn dogs
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!! My Shiba keeps me honest 😆 I always have to find a way to make the behavior make sense to him, but I can't blame him!
What do I do if mine just lays down or sits bc he doesn’t want to walk?
Ha! I'm all too familiar with that trick Shiba's try to pull! Sometime I will try pointing at stuff on the ground or act interesting in something to get their attention and keep them moving. Of I'll toss a small treat ahead of them just to get the ball going. When all else fails, I pick up my Shiba and carry them for a few steps and that usually helps lol!
Adonisssss is the best good boy ever. Also very useful video so I can train my sister in laws spazz muffin
Janah Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid and good luck with the spazz muffin! ^_^
I watched this video an hour ago and am crying now because my Shiba of 3 years who NEVER walked without choking himself finally got it for a split second this morning. THANK YOU
That's terrific, I'm so glad to hear that! Keep up the good work and you two will be enjoying your walks in no time! ❤️🐶
ARE THOSE HORRIBLE COLLARS EVEN LEGAL?? They sure as hell aren’t legal in Finland. Especially the spiky one 😢
Unfortunately they are legal and VERY popular among a lot of dog trainers. I don't necessarily think the people who use them are terrible people, just misguided owners who haven't been taught to use more appropriate tools or take enough time to work with their dog properly. I sure am glad they outlawed these archaic devices in your country! Keep up the good work Finland! :D
My shiba puppy just tugs at the leash, go where he wants, and refuses to follow even with treats. Im so sad.🥲
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that! But just keep up with it and try to practice indoors with your Shiba puppy to build up the behavior of walking with you on leash without a lot of distractions. Good luck, I believe in you! 🐶
