Once the dog goes in the direction of the leash, we can use it to teach positions like sit / down / stand, directing into a heel position, walking forwards, walking backwards, or any other number of behaviors. We also use leash pressure to easily teach our dogs the âStayâ command.
Leash pressure also helps to teach a dog what behaviors are not acceptable without issuing a correction. For example, if a dog likes to jump up on people, you can perform the following exercise (for the purpose of this book we will be using the word âwrongâ. You can use whatever word you choose):
âą Have a friend start petting your dog.
âą When the dog jumps up, have your friend immediately stop petting.
âą Say âWrongâ, and then add the leash pressure, pulling the dog off the friend.
âą Once all four paws have returned to the ground, turn off the leash pressure, then have the friend immediately return to petting.
We can also use this to stop specific behavioral issues such as jumping up on furniture or playing too rough with another dog. We follow the same idea of saying âWrongâ then applying the pressure, and releasing the pressure when the dog does what we wish.
Remember, positive reinforcement is limited by how much the dog wants the reward, but negative reinforcement means the dog is given no choice but to comply (and learn).

I have a 13 week old German Shepherd/ Siberian Husky and after 1 week sheâs crate trained, knows a few voice commands and is walking on a leash - thanks so much for demystify the puppies for us!
That's so awesome!!! đ
Awesome! Nice work and thanks for supporting the channel. Cheers! :)
Another great training session. I love the way my puppy can anticipate what I want by my body language before I get there. She communicates with me so well. Piercing stares to tell me something and shows me what it is, asks me for playtime, offers me climbs, goes to her bed, does the most enthusiastic downs and spins. People always commenting on how well trained she is. All because of you Nate đđ»đđ» thank you so much âșïž
Sounds like you've been doing a fantastic job with your pup! :)
@@NateSchoemer thank you đ
The most effective training approach with the best coach ever. I have been watching videos from different sources with no real value or concept. The fact that Nate is using a reward based training gives him the credit of being the most scientific based trainer. Thanks Nate.
Awesome! Thank you so much, Waseem! :)
Thank you Nate!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! :)
Another excellent lesson! Thank you! đ
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again! :)
you are a great guy bro
Excellent video
Thank you very much! :)
As an aspiring training your videos are so educational even with the hands on learning Iâve gotten
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Love your videos, always very positive and well explained.
Thank you! I appreciate that! :)
@@NateSchoemer I am an obedience instructor at our local dog club (not quite like a personal trainer but it at least helps people who have no idea get some basic understanding and many get interested and follow into trialling). Been training dogs since 1986 on and off and originally it was check chain and leash. It's come a long way since then.
Congratulations đ nate for 100k subscriptions, good job, keep it upđ
Thanks, Bijay! I appreciate that! I'll admit, I was really excited when it hit 100k! :)
Amazing Thanks
Thank you too! :)
Hi!! Love the new video editing!!
I have been studying your videos (+ the training manual on my kindle!) religiously weeks before I brought my gsd pupper home.
She is almost 10 weeks now (home since 8w) and sheâs got a good grasp of the markers (yes, free, no), luring/steering, leash pressure, sit, down, spin, touch, between, heel, place, climb, paw, crawl, back-up, out, âattackâ (for tug). Obviously all of these need polishing and for some she hasnât tied a verbal command with the cue yet.
Iâm in DISbelief at where we are at with obedience training, itâs fascinating that Iâm having somewhat of a conversation with my dog with my cues and markers (and HER cues to me as well)! And this is ALL thanks to your guidance.
I unfortunately havenât had the same renaissance moment with behavior. First among my many challenges is her apparent fear (I think itâs a mix of fear + desire to play) of strange dogs. She will often get fixated on dogs near us and bark if they are too close. At a certain level of arousal I donât attempt to distract her with commands so that she doesnât get used to ignoring me (is this the right way to think?). Instead I get out treats and make fun noises and excitedly begin to run in the opposite direction. Iâve been doing this since her very first day when she growled and barked at a high energy airport security dog and Iâm not sure my approach is working. I was also concerned that even if this approach worked, if the root cause of the problem is that she is anxious about these dogs (afraid/excited), always distracting her from stimulating things wouldnât actually address the problem..?
Also, are trainer-supervised puppy playtimes a good idea as part of socialization? She overcame her timidity the first class. Was happily excited for her second class. And on the third she was screaming and squirming demanding to be let down to play. I strongly believe she has and will continue to learn important dog skills and manners, but I wonder if these playtimes are setting her up to have problems on leash.
Sorry for the length! I wish you were based in NYC.. I have lots more questions and Iâm super eager to learn the SORCERY that you practice.
Thanks! Trainer-supervised play sessions are great. Your pup may learn some behaviors you don't like from the other dogs, but should be easy to fix with obedience. My biggest concern with group plays is that the dog doesn't have a bad experience, such as getting attacked by another dog. Most of the other questions are covered in version 3 of my dog training manual which should be released soon. I'll announce it on CZcams and it'll be free to download for the first week. :)
Great technique,,,đ
Thanks! Cheers!
Hi Nate! Thank you so much for the obedience series, I've been binge watching it in anticipation for my new GSD. Getting her in one week!
Quick question about the order of training. Would a rough outline of the process look something like this?
1. Teach name
2. Conditioning to markers
3. Luring
4. Luring into basic commands/positions
5. Leash Pressure
6. Verbal Commands
Thanks again and please keep up the youtube videos they are gems!
Thanks! Yes, that's it for the most part, but I don't stress teaching the dog their name. They learn it naturally through daily use. :)
Love love love your videos! Will use this when husband finally agrees we need a dog haha
Yay! Thank you! Dog's are the best, I'm sure he'll eventually give in. Lol!
Some ppl think that by watching videos they will have this amazing dog in a few weeks.It doesnât work that way.You need to actually put in the time and have patience.It Isnât rocket science,please also donât use the crate as a punishment device.Some dogs also learn a lot faster than others or will succeed in a certain area quicker than in other areas.
And probably IMO,the most important advice to crate training(which is the easiest for potty training and also gives the puppy a sense of security),NEVER leave the Collar on when they are in the crate.
Iâm no means an expert trainer,far from it,I just believe training needs to be a 24/7 fluid process.Spend time with your puppy,as much as possible and donât ever lose your temper.Every moment of every day can be a training experience,as in you can be training when not training..if that makes sense.Also sometimes the puppy just isnât feeling it so you have to adapt to that as well.
Great advice! Thanks for sharing. :)
Great video Nate. as usually . I recommend your channel to all my friends who ask questions about god training
Awesome! Thank you so much! :)
Id love to see videos with adult dogs who have learned unwanted behavours, learn new and wanted ones
Good PRACTICAL information!đđœ
-> subâd
hess so cute and fluffy
Hi! Your videos are so great! Iâve always had dogs and we always have the basics down and Iâm excited to do some more advanced training!! 2 weeks ago I decided to get an Australian shep/boarder collie đ this gal is giving me a run for my money!
Iâm just wondering how many reps we should do each day? Should I work on one thing every day? Or multiple things? Sheâs 8 - 10 weeks old.. thanks!!! Any advice is appreciated
Thanks a lot for the video! I have a question, what to do if the puppy is more interested in biting at the leash instead of following the pressure? lure with food I suppose?
Great video! Easy to watch. Well filmed. What a beautiful dog.
What collar is this dog wearing ?
Also what food are you using ?
He's just wearing a normal flat collar, but a martingale would be preferred. In this video we're using the dogs kibble (Stella and Chewy freeze-dried coated kibble). However, I also like training with freeze-dried dog food as well: amzn.to/2W88zMf
@@NateSchoemer thank you
Puppy kisses at 9:21! Soooooo cute!
Lol! He is a super cute pup! :)
Great video! I think you might have misspoken around 8:30 though. My understanding is that the negative punishment is taking away the leash pressure when he acts politely. Applying leash pressure would be positive punishment, and not petting when he is jumping is negative reinforcement.
Lol! Thanks, but your understanding is incorrect. No worries though as people confuse these all the time.
The foundation and understanding of dog psychology starts with the four quadrants of operant conditioning. Since this is something that most people have a hard time understanding, letâs go over it. The four are: positive reinforcement, positive punishment, negative reinforcement, and negative punishment.
These can be broken down into two factors:
âą Reinforcement means to encourage a behavior to be repeated, whereas punishment means to discourage a behavior from being repeated.
âą Positive means to add something to the equation to influence behavior, while negative means to remove something to influence behavior.
It can be tricky to see âpositiveâ as discouraging a behavior, as in positive punishment, and ânegativeâ as encouraging a behavior, as in negative reinforcement-but itâs easy to understand in the context of operant conditioning where âpositiveâ and ânegativeâ are not used to mean the same things we normally use them for, such as âgoodâ and âbadâ.
We'll start with positive reinforcement and how it's applied to dog training. As explained, âpositiveâ in this context means âto add to the equationâ and reinforcement means to encourage a behavior to be repeated. Therefore, a positive reinforcement translates to giving your dog anything your dog sees as valuable, with the goal of encouraging the repeat of a behavior.
Negative reinforcement is when pressure is turned on to get the desired behavior, and once the behavior is completed, the pressure is turned off. Two things must take place in order for negative reinforcement to work:
âą Once the pressure is turned on, it cannot be turned off until the dog complies.
âą The moment the dog complies, the pressure must immediately be turned off.
Positive Punishment:
This is when something is added to the equation that the dog doesn't like, to reduce the likelihood of the behavior being repeated.
Last but not least is negative punishment. This is when something is removed from the equation that the dog likes in order to decrease an undesired or bad behavior. This is something that is commonly practiced in dog training.
@@NateSchoemer I appreciate your detailed response and all the incredible info you offer us for free
Hola soy de Colombia, me surge una duda, cuando iniciamos el refuerzo negativo por la correa, tengo entendido que la señal verbal vendrĂa despuĂ©s del refuerzo negativo, pero cuando el perro ya la conoce, podemos decir la señal verbal y si el perro no lo hace introducir el refuerzo negativo ?
My kids and I just got our Siberian Husky puppy. We live in Canada and with covid it is extremely hard to find effective training. While waiting to pick our puppy up, we have been watching your training videos non stop. I really like your technique and Iâm wondering if you offer lessons online and if so, how can I book with you? Thanks so much!
Oh also, I meant to mention that my son has autism and we got our puppy to comfort him, to also help him with anxiety. You have tons of useful tips in your videos. This is my first time doing this, do you have any recommendations specifically for training with puppy/child with autism or do you suggest just directly going to a trainer in person? Iâd like to get the best results possible, am willing to work hard and cost is not an issue. I appreciate any advice!
Hi, Kristen. Yes, I offer zoom/facetime training sessions. You can book a session through email. If you put in the time, you can train the dog yourself for your son. If you start running into some issues, then it could be worth hiring a local trainer. NateSchoemer@gmail.com :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
Can we have Spock back on the show? đ Would be interesting to see how he's grown in the meantime and how he behaves/responds as an adult dog!
Lol! Thanks! I may have him back on the show. We'll see. :)
Hi! Newbie here :) Is a three year old dog too old to teach leash pressure to?
How do you get a 2 year old dog who is stubborn to learn to do any commands that was never taught when I got her? And how to stop pulling on a leash?
Go through my basic obedience series on CZcams to learn how. :)
Thanks Nate!
can you talk about preventing dogs from eating cats poop and other foods outside (when off leash)?
You can say no and correct the dog with a leash pop or you can teach a leave it command: czcams.com/video/u3Fnm4fpt38/video.html I hope this helps! :)
@@NateSchoemer i went through your entire basic obedience training. The problem is when the dog is off leash, in dog parks etc. When the leash is on she doesnt even attempt to pickup food or cat poop. Thanks!
@@amitsapir2 maybe a long lead will help? not sure
Do we always reward when utilizing leash pressure or do we eventually switch to verbal praise/intermittent treats? Thanks Nate đ

My Miniature Poodle puppy walks well with a jacket harness on the back, but using a collar he cries in pain as it seems he has a sensitive neck. Do I need a leash on the collar to do proper leash pressure? Or should I try to train him to accept the collar leash? Or a harness on the bottom front?
My default recommendation is to use a leash and collar, provided there are no medical restrictions. If a veterinarian confirms that the dog has a condition where a collar might be detrimental, I would advise against it. Otherwise, if the dog is cleared by the veterinarian, employing a leash and collar is the way to go.
How to make this training but backwards? Like when a dog is pulling..I try to put pressure back to me but the pressure release doesn't seem to be a nice reward or even food..he just take the food and turn back to pulling..even if I make him stay in the position for a while..goes back to pulling..
How did you become a dog trainer? And why? Iâm still looking for my profession and considering dog trainer.. I have social anxiety issues and would rather work with animals than people.
I went to the Tom Rose School. czcams.com/video/csN7_7IwSlw/video.html If you don't like working with people, then being a dog trainer may not be the best choice for you. As a dog trainer I work more with people than I do the dogs.
Sir how much time we should train a dog and what treat we should we give please sir
If you're curious about what food, treats, or training products that I use, you can see them listed here: www.nateschoemer.com/store
Watch this: czcams.com/video/OvdKDE326gs/video.html
Can you do one of these videos on loose leash walking? Everyone keeps telling us to use treats, but Shadow isnât treat driven. He responds so much more to working and praise than treats! But I canât get that to work with pulling on lead. He just doesnât seem to understand that getting to the end of the leash is a bad thing :(
He did one about 2 months ago. It should be in the basic obedience videos
For sure. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/E7ztsl09dOI/video.html
Do you recommend any particular type of collar when teaching leash pressure?
I like the martingale collar. I like to use very simple and basic collars, because I only use collars when I'm training the dog. My dogs don't wear any collars at the house, so I don't concern myself with style. Lol! You can see all of the products I use with my dogs and the dogs I work with here: www.nateschoemer.com/store Thanks again for watching, commenting, and liking! I hope this info helps. Cheers! :)
Awesome video- is there an age that is best for introducing leash pressure to a puppy? We just got an 8 week old heeler, is that too early to start introducing leash pressure? Also are you using a martigale type of collar or just a regular flat collar?
I would recommend starting when the puppy understands how to lure in to all command positions. Once you have that, then leash pressure should be a smooth process. This pup just had a normal flat collar on, but a martingale would be preferred. Thanks for watching! :)
@@NateSchoemer thanks for the reply and clarifying on luring and the great content overall!
Is that a flat collar the pooch is is wearing or do I need a special collar?
You can use a flat collar or a martingale collar. :)
Btw I love your videos! I have been able to use some of the techniques to get my puppy some tricks and get him use to some of the commands. Just gotta make sure he actually knows them now but now hereâs my problem. Please help!! We have a 10 week old puppy and weâve had him since he was 4 weeks ( trust me Ik thatâs a young age but thatâs a story for another time ) He knows to go outside but heâll still go inside the house ( pee and poop) When heâs going, heâll look directly at you and and keep going even tho youâll tell him no. Me and my husband are extremely frustrated and have tried doing everything to keep him from going inside. Please help, Iâm tired of cleaning poop or pee off my carpet and Iâm tired of constantly washing his toys or blankets because he decided to pee and poop on them. I honestly have no idea what to do anymore
Check out this video on potty training: czcams.com/video/EKqy0j7tYi0/video.html
hey man I love the videos, do you have any suggestions for a breed that is cute, energetic like a dog that is cute friendly and when i need it to it can slap someone with it's tail?
Lol! Not sure what you mean by "slap someone with it's tail" but check out the response that I had on this same question that you posted on the "How to Find and Choose the Right Breeder for You. With Bethany Preud'homme."
@@NateSchoemer tysm and sorry for posting it in both places I thought it was the latest video so..
How old is this dog?
How many treats should you give in a session to avoid over feeding?
The treats are the dinner. When my dog is doing his training, we dehydrate his raw food meals and use for treats. If we use a full meal amount, he wont get free food in his bowl for that meal.
Struggling with this as my pup just tries to chew the lead..any tips?
Pop the lead out of the dogs mouth when he tries to bite it.
Damn that sun be shining through my screen
Where can I ask dog specific questions?
On any of my CZcams video comment sections. :)
Hey Nate
I already reached out to you via Whatsapp and on your Homepage since itâs a more lengthy question with added background. Should I still post it here?
Can leash pressure be used with a harness, or does it have to be a collar?
It's easier with a collar, but you can use a harness. You can see an example in this video: czcams.com/video/E7ztsl09dOI/video.html
Hey Nate, not sure if this is the right place for a Q&A. I have a 6 month old Mallinois and heard different opinions on wether to run/mtb with him at this stage of his life because of health related issues that he can have later in life given that he is still growing, etc. Do you have any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks, cheers
I base the training on each individual dog. You don't want to take a puppy on runs as they are still growing, but play running in the yard should be fine. If I do start taking a dog on runs, I always start with a short distance and increase as the dog gets better and more comfortable with it. If you go on a run and your dog is limping after, then you know that you have gone too far. So then you would adjust accordingly. :)
@@NateSchoemer thanks!!
Are you using a regular leash or a slip lead?
Regular leash attached to a martingale or flat collar. :)
Hey Nate, Iâm just wondering my puppy gets bored of training and doesnât finish all of his raw meal. How do I get him to get him all his nutrients by the end of the day when leaving him excited for the next training session? He gets fed 3 times a day
Stop the session before he becomes bored. You want to stop when he is having fun with the session. This will keep him wanting to come back for more. In addition, you can give him larger portions for each reward, so you can feed him more in a shorter period of time.
@@NateSchoemer Thank u
when i put my leash on my puppy, he just tries to put it in his mouth and chew on it. i take his attention off of the leash so he drops it out of his mouth, mark, and reward. but then when i move the leash to start teaching leash pressure, he goes back to trying to chew on it. how do i stop this instinct that he has to chew on his leash? Thank you in advance!
That's normal. Popping the leash out of the dogs mouth is an easy way to fix that issue. :)
đ
Thanks, G K! :)
I can't tell from the video, is the leash pressure being applied with a martingale collar?
Yes, I like using a martingale collar while teaching leash pressure. :)
@@NateSchoemer thanks!
Iâm having trouble keeping my puppy from chewing the leash. đ Sheâs not quite getting the leash yet. đŠź
Lol! That's normal. Popping the leash out of the dogs mouth is an easy way to fix that issue. :)
Hey Nate, we just done our first full day with the new puppy. Hes very good other then at night when we pick him up put him in the crate he whines and cries for a very long time and itâs so hard to listen to. I had watched your crate training video beforehand but a family member didnât and originally just picked him up last night and put him in and closed it. So to prevent any accidents and such we have continued to do it today but itâs heart breaking. Can u give me some advice please as I have tried to positively reward him coming into the crate with food and toys in there but it clearly takes a long time. He likes to sleep on the floor next to sofa but we donât allow him to at night. Please can you help me out. Much appreciated
The positive reward etc we started earlier today, so his first full day 2nd night
I would follow the steps in the crate training episode. Even if you do the training correctly, some dogs will still whine in the crate. If that's the case, check out this video and jump to 37:08 czcams.com/video/3lBJFcWiAzk/video.html :)
â@@NateSchoemer Thank you so much, thats what i've been doing and he is able to go in to eat from my hand in the corner or play with a toy. I'v'e also got a chew toy designated to his crate It's getting better but I will give t that method of the metal bowl a shout when he whines. How often do you put in the crate throughout the day?
You scared me for a second. I know that its rare to have 100% agreement with any other trainer however when you were talking about -R I was like... âok Nate Iâm listening to hear you out but if you go full on escape avoidanceâ then you started it using a +R contingent with the food. Which I totally agree with. Then I was like yeah ok I teach this pretty much the same. Basically you broke it down into stages that the dog could handle first which is awesome. Then you could maybe even say that with this sort of training you are creating a +CER to the leash pressure and so the leash pressure could be a secondary reinforcer (obviously I am stretching the assessment of the learning in the pups brain there) but definitely the dog is like âoh leash pressure down I know what that means = good stuffâ. Not sure what your cue âwrongâ is though. Iâll look forward to a video about that. Thanks for this vid.
Thanks! Yeah, wrong just predicts leash pressure. You can see an example in my stay video, but I'm using the word "no" instead of "wrong", but the process would be the same. Cheers! :)
đđđ
Thanks! :)
Hello I'm from Indonesia, My dog ââis good but there must be food. So why is that?
hello! :) Check out this video: czcams.com/video/a2OBoptftYs/video.html
I love your training, but unfortunately my puppy thinks she has to bite my hand off and then eat the treat.đ€·ââïž
Have a leash and collar on the puppy. Then hold the leash in one hand with a part of the leash resting under your foot, so if he jumps up, the leash will stop him. Also, be sure not to add any tension on the leash when he is sitting nicely. Then slowly start to move your hand with a treat towards your puppy, if he jumps up, stop him with the leash and move the hand away. Then when he's sitting again, repeat the process. continue to do it until he stays sitting until the food reaches him. If he's aggressively biting at the food, then another trick is to hold the food in your fist. if he tries biting at the food, then the hand stays closed. Once he's being gentle, then slowly start to open the hand. Instantly close it again, if he starts to bite too hard. Repeat until he knows that he needs to take the food nicely. The idea is basic cause and effect. I hope this helps! :)
When I apply leash pressure my dog pulls back đ
That's normal. It's called a classical opposition reflex. That's why we have to teach the dog to go with the pressure on the leash as explained in the video. :)
Catching in football is a yellow card unless you are the keeper.
