      @@camrose2936 You can try a gentle leader or an actually good prong. I've tried a prong on myself and it doesn't hurt at all because it's a good one. Another good option is a harness. It helped a lot with my pup. Just don't get the kind that keeps them from pulling completely because it basically is restraining the dog. Hope this helped.

      @@riverramos9586 - I wouldn't use a prong collar but a good harness with two lead attachments - one for the front so you can bring their front end towards you - and a slight 'martingale' action is useful.
      Ultimately though, as one of the trainers at the dog training school I go to says, every time you carry on walking with your dog puling hard out ahead of you - leading the way - you are basically saying "that's fine - you carry on - I'm fine with you pulling". Zak's approach is time consuming but it is the only one that really works.

      @@honeychurchgipsy6 A harness helped me out a lot too. I'm glad you know what works for you. For me a prong stopped my pup from choking herself and harming other dogs (fighting) since we can't socialize he due to Covid and a lack of dogs around. It took a lot for me to put the prong on, but the results were amazing. The harness got really good results too :)

She had two seasons back to back which meant she was dealing with raging hormones, and had to be kept away from other dogs, for a few months (we couldn't get her spayed during this time). She has never recovered - so I wish you luck - if any methods can help they will be Zak's - but don't be afraid to use any local services available - one to one training works well!!

      If you have to order your dog's dog food there is no time to play, walk and train your dog. Just like kids ypur dog forms a bond with the person that trains them. The problem is that ppl do not know what care is needed for the dog that they have. Just like kids are not the same and they are different... Dogs are too.... Breeds of dogs need different things.. First and for most research the dog that you are getting even if its a rescue. Things like the very climate that they are in impacts the K-9.... Taking lesson from a single temperament or breed of dog is not always applicable to your dog..... Smmfh... Dogs are not accessories

      Absolutley!! As a beginning dog trainer, I'm really trying to emphasize that hugely! In fact, really trying to separate walking on-leash from exercise at first: using the walk as a very specific exercise (with a leash just for it), in boring places like in house and backyard to learn the on-leash technique. Doing actual exercise separately using fetch, tug... Don't walk your dog while they're in training to get YOUR exercise. You both need to get your exercise by other means until leash-work is learned. 😊💕 I think that takes a lot of stress off to approach it that way.... And-- Love you Zak! You are a wonderful and skilled soul! The world is better for your being here 💕🐾🐾

    This video is so reassuring! I have a 5 month puppy who has difficulty paying attention to me on our walks. I thought that it was because he was testing boundaries and my leadership, but this reassures me that he just needs to learn more impulse control. And impulse control, like humans, takes time and practice to master. I no longer feel like a puppy parent failure.

    I loved this video because it shows realistic situations to work through. I've scanned the internet for dog training videos for walking but most times, I find videos of demonstrations with already-trained dogs so you don't see the common struggles that come with training your dog these new tricks. As a beginner, I wasnt sure if I was even doing it right because of the constant distractions but now I feel reassured! Thank you for this thorough video.

      Fish n' Tricks every dog is different and every dog learns differently and your dog may have learned very well with positive reinforcement but your next dog may not. And I hope you don’t think that balanced trainers train through pain, cause that is definitely not what true balanced trainers do.

    • @fishntricks1905

      @@faithm.4084 I know the different training methods out there and I've decided what I will or will not use on any life I'm ever responsible for.
      Pain, dominance, etc being some of those things.
      Positive achieves amazing things, it just isn't the "fastest' answer and humans tend to be impatient and think it's not working if it isn't immediate.
      Like I've already said multiple times, I won't tell others what they can and can't do. I only have power over me and mine and we choose positive reinforcement.

    I'm happy I found this today and it immediately gave me energy to get outside and walk. Although I don't avoid walks by any means (my dog goes 3-4x a day) they're not always the most pleasant. My pup is just over a year and tends to pull. He ignores people but needs to greet every single dog. We had 2 yappy dogs following us today and instead of walking away, we stopped and I kept my dogs attention. Thanks for this video :)

      Seems counter intuitive but you do not NEED to walk your dog for long time , you actually risk over stimulating them...ten mins of scent work finding treats in garden or house is worth an hour of crazy running... young dogs should only have 5 mins per month of age in walks a day.... joint care way more important!

    This video is exceptional! You are an amazing trainer and I love your positive association reward based training techniques! I love this video demonstrating real life challenges of walking a dog outside in an actual busy neighborhood! Thank you so much for sharing your videos on CZcams! Our dog is a rescue from S. Korea DMt so she is very fearful and gets extremely uncomfortable leaving our yard. She gets spooked by overstimulation and drags me home in a total panic. I didn't want to keep forcing her because it sets her back so I avoided it but this inspires me to keep trying, even just a little at a time and work in small sections. I need to limit her exposure and allow her to build her confidence. Thank you again! I've had 3 behavioral trainers and our girl is extremely food motivated but not when distracted and scared by things outside. After watching this I'm ready to try again and may ask a few neighbors to be outside to be ready with a few treats so she has something exciting to look forward to as we make our way down the street! ♥️🐕 thanks again! This video is one of the best I've seen!
