Loose Leash Walking: • How to teach a dog to ...
Today I am going over a video from It's Me Or The Dog, reviewing an old video about a doberman named Harvey.
I will be giving my point of view on the methods being used, as well as giving the animal(s) in this video a voice. Don't blindly follow what someone says, even if they are a "professional", use your own critical thinking skills and question the tools, the method, and the trainers.
I am using all footage under the Fair Use Act for criticism and educational purposes, and do not wish for anyone to send hateful messages to the original poster. I hope to spread awareness about this type of unnecessary and dangerous practice that is so prevalent in the dog training world and horsey world, and to give these animals a better life. Let me know what you think of it, and what you would like to see next time! Until then, practice Patience, Peace, and Pawsitivity! :3

I can personally vouch for Taylor's training method for these behaviors. She helped me get my dog back after he was attacked on the leash.
I love your imput and totally agree! My roommate and I used to binge watch the show, and felt off in the earlier episodes! She has a Border Collie and a Border Collie lab mix; and I have a Sheltie and a Roughcoat Collie. Gentle and positive interactions are so crucial to training our doggos, which definitely takes alot of patience. I really loved hearing you say that too, because it always feels like when you watch people training their dogs, they have perfected their skill in like 5 minutes. My sheltie is 2 and does agility. He does well, but we are definitely still working on getting him to pay attention to me when there are alot of distractions. Lots of treats and praise. My roughcoat is 5 months old and is in puppy lessons. Things take time, that's for sure. ❤
That's great to hear! Sounds like a busy household, but I love it! I wish you all the best with your pupper' training!! ❤️🐕
Victoria is pretty amazing I met her years ago. I do agree thought that most rehab does not happen in one session and most effective dog training is pretty non dramatic the empowerment comes from seeing a dog overcome fear for a better life.
That's great, I'm happy for you that you got to meet her. Great comment, couldn't have said it better myself!
I met her at Crufts earlier this year, she's every bit as lovely as she is on TV. I absolutely love that she's open about criticising her past self and actually showing that she's changed and improved.
Omg that would be a dream of mine to meet her! So glad you got to see her yourself! ☺️
I have found with our reactive foster that it's waaaay easier to hold him back with a harness than when he's on his leash, even from the back clip
(I have found though that harnesses that can clip at the front are also really helpful because the dog pulls against themselves)
also the choke chains with the material braided through .. I would think that would be to make it softer and, relatively, more comfortable..
i've been consuming dog training content for years (Victoria Stilwell included) and honest to god until just now I haven't come across one single video where they talked about the collar vs. harness topic as well as you do in this video. i wish everyone who is so opposed to harnesses would just listen to these couple of sentences...
Thank you, I really appreciate that and I'm so glad that I am able to make some sense out of my rambling lol! I really appreciate the support ❤️
Everything you said makes so much sense to me. I wouldn’t put my puller in a situation like this one. I avoid all contact with strange dogs now. Everything outside of our house and yard is exciting to her.
She has a balanced relationship with my older dog, who helped raise her. (Balanced meaning they’re equals/friends/sisters and they play together every day.)
In this park situation, I would remove her immediately. Just driving near one of her parks gets her excited (they both know the routes and the smells before we’re near the destination.
We only practice at home. I’m looking for a private yard and pool to rent to properly run my dogs (our yard was not built for running).
Bella used to go to daycare with other dogs her size, and did really well until she got giardia and kennel cough there.
We still have a lot of work to do, particularly focusing on me when there are distractions. Food as a reward only works when we’re in our house.
I need to practice loose leash work in our house and back yard.
Do you think that they benefit from having other friends? There are two Labs next door. We didn’t introduce them when we moved in, because I brought my dogs to our new home with giardia and kennel cough, and wanted to wait until they were healthy again. In that interim, we stopped working with Bella’s former loose leash trainer, whose help I wanted with the introduction to the Labs next door. Bella used to have many friends and acquaintances from our old neighborhood and from daycare. She hasn’t played with any dogs besides my Lab in over a year. I feel like I’m failing her (not the Lab, though; she couldn’t care less about other dogs, only her 🎾). Am I failing her by not risking an unknown at the local parks?
I don't think you're failing her at all! By doing what you've been doing is already a great way to work with your pup. I find it to be a good thing that you're hesitant about everyone's safety. If the other labs next door seem like they have the same temperment, I don't see it as a bad thing to try a meet and greet, so long as everyone is comfortable and the pups are supervised. I'd suggest if you are going to introduce them, to separate everyone as soon as you see your pup or the others getting too overstimulated or overwhelmed. No need to panic, just take a break and come back to it later 😊
@@K9Tay , Thank you for your reply and encouragement. I think the Labs next door are nice. The male barks a lot at passing dogs. I don’t know if he’s overstimulated or just chatting. My Lab met them once through their fence, and there was no snarling, just sniffing. Their humans said that they get pretty rough with each other (I can hear it; it sounds like normal rough play/bitey face between house mates, which mine only do indoors). Theirs do it on their patio. Would it be safer to meet them on neutral ground, like a park, or my side yard, where my two like to sniff and explore? (It’s a treat for them to play in that yard; the backyard is the designated dog yard.)
Of course! Yes I think neutral ground is probably best for the first few meet ups, just to be safe. That's a really good sign that the two of them could have a friendly sniff through the fence. I hope it works out for you all to have a play buddy for your pups! 🙏
yeah I love Victoria, but this episode was always a bit off for me, especially with the flooding of introducing other dogs.
