I had to take my adult sons dog. He got her and became ver ill with Crohn's disease and I didn't want her to go to shelter. Shes only 1 yr old and high energy. Ive been learning so much from you which makes me able to have her and saves her from shelter maybe her life. Thank you good sir! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Exactly! It's just like if your kid is stressed and scared. If you become calm and firm in the situation and you let them know/ feel that you got this, you got their backs and they don't need to worry, they are going to calm down and look to you to feel safe. Dogs need reassuring that they can trust you.
Some kids saw me walking and told me there was a dead cat on the sidewalk. Im thinking idk what to do either but knew I had to be calm and collected. I told them go home I will call animal services.
You are by far the very best most helpful trainer full of consistently beneficial positive reinforcement that always works. I will say I still work daily with a pulling walk pup but it’s so much better and I’m confident we will eventually get to an easy loose leash walking habit.
I have a male Bandog puppy (Bull mastiff x pitbull mum an Pitbull dad) I want to thank you for these instructional videos. Helping shape him into a confident, successful happy boy.
2nd !❤🇨🇦 Thank you, I will start doing this. My farm dog shepherd Jack needs to chill, when I walk him in town. He's come a long way for a pup born into a situation of wild dogs, in the great frozen Canadian north. He's two now, will take on a bear, or a moose without hesitation, but he's aggressive when it comes to dogs. Mostly fear. I'm gonna keep watching. Thank you again, from an old grandma in northern Ontario Canada❤🇨🇦 Your video's are great, by the way.
Hi I have started to watch you only in the last month.. got new gsd pup 8weeks old and with your advice she was potty trained in 3 days she knows her name she sits on command and puts up the paw when I say hello..yes I use treats..thank you..keep up the good work. I have learnt a lot....pat Ireland
I'm so glad I found your videos, we have a puppy and everything was going great training until 6 months old and now he head strong but you really help explain things well and cover things with the reason too
Will thanks man you have taught me so much on my cane corso journey and I now have an amazing 19 month old boy who's a joy ... but the number one this is never stop even when you think you've cracked it don't let the bad habits slip in !!! Keep it up man !! 🐾🦍✌️💙
William , i have started doing this with my Doberman, as sometimes he becomes reactive to bicyclist on our walks. Doing this method has really helped, me with my boy . Thank you so much for the tip .
Thank you for this, as i was doing this uintentiionally knowing if this helped or showed lack of control. So i am glad that i just trusted my instincts
Beautiful dog. Yes this truck really helps with reactivity I see dogs infront of their owner and they are much more likely to become reactive especially if they are on a tight leash and they are not confident or nervous animals in the first place. This tactic allows your dog to look to you for direction, they see that you are calm and it communicates what is expected of them. He's a great trainer!
I tried that once with my dog Yennifer. At the time i actually had the collar on my waist, soon it went down to my legs. She hopped right over my leg and ran off. She dragged me with the leash for about 2 minutes before it snapped
I do this with my dog all the time and if something is going on that makes him nervous, like bicycles going by, he rests his cheek against my thigh. He's partially blind, so this physical contact helps him know I'm there for him.
Sawat Diiiii Khrap (“Hello” - Thai Transliteration) from Phuket, Thailand….. Will….. I really like these short videos (2-3min) you’ve started that focus in on one (1) specific training tip. Not everybody has 30min at one time to watch a full length production….: ) But…. We all have a few minutes here and there throughout our day where we can watch several short clips, covering different tips. Keep up the Good Work…. Cheers…
Ooh I like that one. I've always been in the habit of putting my dog to a sit when I stop. My problem is now trying to figure out how to change the speed of the paces when we walk. I always walked fast but now that I have arthritis in my ankle and I'm legally blind I still have 25% of my vision I'm not always sure where I'm going, I have a beautiful red golden and she is amazing and I want to get the most out of her. She is picked up on my anxiety and has learned how to calm me when I'm anxious but now I would like to make her my service dog I'm having a tough time finding a Handler or trainer that can help me. I have trained a lot of dogs before I lost my vision now it's a little scary.
I'm amazed by the quality of this. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was a true revelation. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
Wow, our highly reactive/aggressive Mastiff Shepherd rescue is really responding to this. For the first time before going out the door, he is looking up to me for the okay to go out the door. I can't wait to try it the next time the doorbell rings, and he loses his mind. Thank you!
My dog is a reactive dog who seems aggressive, but actually is a shy girl. She has an issue with barking at on coming cars when we are out for a walk. It’s annoying and difficult, cuz she is pretty strong and pulls toward the passing cars. I have watched several trainers on CZcams/instagram and I find his vids to be more informative
My family has a similar idea, it's where you put your foot over gently but firmly in front of the back paw or on the front paw. All though my dad was training hunting and hopefully one day assistance dogs.
I do something slightly different, I specifically tell my dog to stop, so that when we get to crossings etc she stops when told, and doesn't walk on until told. Also very effective
Just practice during your normal routine. Before you open the door. Before you give food. Before you put the lead on etc etc. This is an easy command my Husky does on walks
I have a cane corso puppy that is so nippy even when try to pet her.. She's 3 months old. I have some timers heard to use more aggressive measure to stop this but really all I want is to show her love and affection but its also hard to get her to settle down enough to hug and pet her.. She constantly putting my hands, feet or fingers in her mouth. Saying no doesn't work. Also is using a correction collar ok.. I have a 5# older chihuahua she antagonizes... And a15 # mixed Chuihuahua that got into a fight with her yesterday because she wants to play and she keeps going up to them which they don't like. If I push her away she starts getting mouthy with my hands and jumping at me a bit, in a playful way, but she wont stop. She's damn willful for sure. How can I assure that my little dogs, she wont end up hurting them. I have a golden Weiner about 20 # that does like to play with her to an extent but what will happen? Is Harlow the Cane puppy will get over the top of her and but her jaws around her head or throat… its not hurting her but it concerns me so we take her out on a leash now... And our golden Weiner so wants to play chase but not wrestle with her. She hides most of the day in a safe spot until She is ready to go out.
this is great, I have a question. I have 3 dogs and one of them started to get reactive and therefore all of them got reactive. We do try this trick but kind of tricky with a pack. Do you have any great advice as for reversing pack behavior? Would be much appreciated
My dog is pretty good at auto sitting when we stop but as soon as I “plant my flag” he breaks his sit and moves away even though I haven’t released him. He acts scared of my foot. He is a dog that wants me to hold him all the time but for some reason when I bend down to pick him up he also gets scared and backs away. I don’t know what to do.
I'd love to do this with my dog, but unfortunately he is *constantly* on the lookout for other dogs, who if we happen to meet, he pulls toward and barks his head off. I haven't managed to figure out if this is out if excitement, aggression or fear/anxiety. He is a rescue who we couldn't find out the history of as well. For now, walks make us both anxious at this point
I’m so curious, what’s the story or reason behind the knee high boots? They look great- just curious if you are using them to avoid ticks in the grass or for some other reason
I could hear this man say “calm, consistent, loving leader” literally ALL DAY
also cocker spaniel
This guy is hot!
I had to take my adult sons dog. He got her and became ver ill with Crohn's disease and I didn't want her to go to shelter. Shes only 1 yr old and high energy. Ive been learning so much from you which makes me able to have her and saves her from shelter maybe her life. Thank you good sir! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

We have started using your advice with our pooch and have seen almost an instant change. Please keep making these videos. And thank you.
The way he talks to her in a lil sweat voice while his actual voice is that of a viking is heartwarming 😂❤
Beautiful, so precious! Thanks very much!!!
My 8 month old Chapo is doing so good.... A work in process, but certainly a better dog, than before. Thank you, Mr. Atherton! 🤗
Great
I realize if I remain calm so does Leo..
I love this mans presence and demeanor, I bet he's like 6'5!
Thank you Will. I will i will give this instruction a good consistant go with my dog.
Absolutely love these shorts, I'm constantly picking up new tips to help with my pup. Thank you!

Thanks Will, reactivity seems like my last hurdle with my 1yr old gsd. My first gsd.
Will, you are so gracious in sharing your knowledge with us. You are Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this❤
lesson no. 1... thanks 👏👏👏
I tried that once with my dog Yennifer. At the time i actually had the collar on my waist, soon it went down to my legs. She hopped right over my leg and ran off. She dragged me with the leash for about 2 minutes before it snapped
Mine sits before going inside … your on point I love your content and they puppies you work with so beautiful ❤
I'm going to try this. Thanks.
I do this with my dog all the time and if something is going on that makes him nervous, like bicycles going by, he rests his cheek against my thigh. He's partially blind, so this physical contact helps him know I'm there for him.
Yay! That's very cool 🥰
Thank you for the advice, I will try this, kind regards, Joanne 🐺
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this trick!! I will add this into my pup's daily walks...

Watching him for a bit and he spot on

Aw! Bless you❤ best of luck to you and your dear pup.
I'm definitely going to try this with my reactive dog, we're making progress but that may help me a lot
I'm amazed by the quality of this. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was a true revelation. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
i do this naturally with my puppy, glad to hear it's a good idea
Great advice, beautiful dog btw
My dog disrespects the hell out of me 😂 he's a good boy but DAMN. I'm going to try this thank you sir 🙏
Try deepening your voice even I tiny bit when you want him to listen
He's not good if he disrespects you
😂😂😂 totally relate able
I love my lttle homie but sometimes godamnnn bro 😅
Wow, our highly reactive/aggressive Mastiff Shepherd rescue is really responding to this. For the first time before going out the door, he is looking up to me for the okay to go out the door. I can't wait to try it the next time the doorbell rings, and he loses his mind. Thank you!
Thanks for the dog training tip.
Great tips as always! Thank u 😊
Great stuff. Love the boots!
My dog is a reactive dog who seems aggressive, but actually is a shy girl. She has an issue with barking at on coming cars when we are out for a walk. It’s annoying and difficult, cuz she is pretty strong and pulls toward the passing cars. I have watched several trainers on CZcams/instagram and I find his vids to be more informative
OK ty
Thanks i will try this
Omg she's adorable,what breed is she?
White Swiss / German shepherd
That would be our right foot … for us Americans. 😊
I will try this on my neurotic Labradoodle!...will let you know how I get on.
Good one!
Perfect, top man
I love your accent. Good advice.
My family has a similar idea, it's where you put your foot over gently but firmly in front of the back paw or on the front paw. All though my dad was training hunting and hopefully one day assistance dogs.
I already do this but I've never thought of why it's just instinct
I do something slightly different, I specifically tell my dog to stop, so that when we get to crossings etc she stops when told, and doesn't walk on until told. Also very effective
I do the exact same. It’s crucial for emergency situations in the event she needs to stop without by heading to the street! That word is pivotal
This guy knows his stuff , so many are popping up these days 😮, but this guy is good end off !
nice advice mate as usual 💚
Are you from the UK
Also amazing tip never would’ve thought to do this.
Best dog trainer on YT by far.
Agree
I'm curious how my husky will take this, he is used to us both making decisions .🤔😂
Lol. That’s part of the breed! 🫣
Just practice during your normal routine. Before you open the door. Before you give food. Before you put the lead on etc etc. This is an easy command my Husky does on walks
This is gold advice dude
I have a cane corso puppy that is so nippy even when try to pet her.. She's 3 months old.

Lol. My dog used to put his paw always on my food, so I changed the game and now I'm doin it. So she knows who is in charge now
You the best of communication how do you train a dog
We gonna start practicing this tomorrow!
Gotta try that!
Will, someone steel your flannel? Good advice.
this is great, I have a question. I have 3 dogs and one of them started to get reactive and therefore all of them got reactive. We do try this trick but kind of tricky with a pack. Do you have any great advice as for reversing pack behavior? Would be much appreciated

For now, walks make us both anxious at this point
Awww my Aussie’s name is Millie!
got my subscription
I must try!
I’m so curious, what’s the story or reason behind the knee high boots? They look great- just curious if you are using them to avoid ticks in the grass or for some other reason
I will definitely use this
