In this installment of the Dunbar Dog Diaries Kelly continues training Nox on loose leash walking and heeling.
These real-time training videos are great!
Thanks for watching! They are fun to make. ~ K
Apparently my own training style is simular to yours. I rescued a 4yo pup 3 months ago. We have been working her basic commands and her excitable reactions to other pups outside. I have got her from lunging and barking to a whine and slight pull so we have some progress. After you mentioned knox wasn't trained at your side and you had worked in front i chose to train my dog at my right as my other dog walks at my left. Her positions have been perfect and when she is called she runs over and sits. I have trained dogs as a hobby and will hopefully make it my career once my rescue has been trained. I needed a refresher so thank you for the tips.
So exciting! Keep training!
I cannot watch this, with such a working dog
We´ll be getting an 8 week old Lagotto puppy, what criteria would you recommend for when we first start putting her on leash? Not pulling? Staying on the same side? Stopping when I stop?
I want to make it as easy as possible for the puppy to be successful, but I also don´t want to teach her any bad leash habits. Thank you!
Ooh, this is a very good question! Thank you! The very first step, of course, is acclimating your pup to the collar. Most young puppies will do more following than leading at first. Use this to your advantage by practicing lots of that without the leash and siting by your side. If the puppy gets ahead of you when walking, do a quick turn and take off in the other direction, calling your pup with squeaky or kissy noises. Change speed and direction often. Try to keep your pup on one side. Don't worry too much about a perfect position, work on your puppy keeping her attention on YOU until released to play. Add some lured at the side sits once the pup understand to stay with you and on one side. Keep these following session VERY short. Two minutes at a time, tops. Could be as short as 30 seconds sprinkled throughout the day.
Once you've got that mastered as a team, in your home and garden. Add the leash and repeat all exercises. Pulling is the biggest issue and the most difficult habit to repair, so I would say keeping your dog's attention and not letting the leash get tight are top priorities.
I think I'll do a video on this in a few weeks. Thank you for the inspiration and stay tuned! ~Kelly
Thank you Kelly!
I have loved "dancing" in my backyard or house first with dog on leash, being silly and sort of darting and dancing around with leash as loose as like a jump rope saying silly things like "oh what's this?! What are we doing? Is this fun?! Oh yes it is! And we go DIS way!!" (running a few steps, then stopping like how dogs play ), then excited little gasp "Den we go DIS way!! " (speech impediment optional 😁😁😄😄).
Then I slow it down over course of a few minutes, while letting dog lead me even, going wherever he/she pleases, smelling, etc. AS LONG AS leash stays loose. My goal in this is: wearing leash = a loose leash that involves movement and fun being with human.
I gradually work down the dancy stuff over course of a week to it being by my side only, then gradually move to little more distracted area like driveway, etc.
And so that the dog doesn't miss the fun little game, I revert to that sometimes on the walk. Caution: I slow it down tho and get calm as we finish those few little dancy things so that they don't then bolt off ahead still excited. I have them go into a sit and then I calmly say "Good. Ok....let's go."
Its been a super fun way for me to work with puppies I've walked. I am a "dog trainer-in-training" as it were, and just learning, but Kelly- YOU are the expert, so is what I'm doing here ok??? Would LOVE to know from you!! TY for this vid series-wonderful! Have also puchased bunch of Ian's on Udemy on sale this year and loving them!
Can you try this with a puppy?
it would help to have a puppy that is NOT amongst the highest working dogs -- get a normal corgi, or boxer, or papilion ...not amongst the working dogs
