Fix Leash PULLING & LUNGING TODAY! 

7:26 “…so we’re COMMUNICATING WITH THEM IN THEIR LANGUAGE.” This is the key that “dog lovers” need to understand! If you speak to them in the language THEY understand, your dog will know what you’re saying.

I have heard so many negitive comments about training dogs to be service dogs, to they shouldn't use harnesses, prong collars, or electronic collars. But to me if you are doing it the right way, it will only help keep your dogs safe.

I’ve been watching your videos on leash walking, and decided to try out a prong collar with my German shepherd that is 7 months old. After about 5 minutes of walking, there was a big change. I worked with him for about 20 minutes and he is doing well! Not the best, and still needs more training, but the difference from taking him on a walk yesterday to today is mind boggling! I’m glad I found your videos! Some of the others I watched didn’t really help out!

That's such a nice looking dog.

Essentially, I never judge dogs. I judge owners. I'll watch a dog's body language. How relaxed are they? Are they checking in with their owner as they approach me? If I don't see an attentive owner-dog connection; I'll give them a lot of room. My pet peeve is people that choose small dogs because they can overpower them; but fail to train them. Those are the stressed out ankle biters that you need to be wary of. It's sad that big dogs get a bad rap. I could tell that a new dog in my neighborhood was used to getting bad vibes from strangers. I received permission from the owner and gave a lot of positive attention and affection to the dog. It went from shocked to complete enjoyment. It was a great dog! The owner really appreciated that someone else saw how good their dog was, and also relaxed a bit more.

This is great. The moment i was sold is when he explained "the dog is hunting. Instead, have him pay attention to you" when you walk a dog, the leash is a steering wheel and tension on the leash is a signal to turn, or stop, or come along. You own the leash, not the dog. With this principle of pay attention to my lead, i taught a dog to stay, sit, down, and on his side several meters away from me without a leash.

I just adopted a 2 year old pit bull. Given up by his first family back to the breeder. First interaction was not so good for him. Very energetic, horrible leash manners and manners in general. Told the breeder I would take him for a week and see how I could do with him. I had another pit bull previously for 12 years. Long story short the dude was a pain but such a sweet boy. Little weird around smaller children and dogs which had me very leery. I bought all the tools I needed and poured my heart into this guys videos and in 7 days I have a completely new dog. His ENTIRE demeanor has changed and he is so much more obedient and calm. I have fallen in love and owe so much to these training videos. I don't know 100% if I will keep him but have for sure become his new adopted home and will do everything I can to equip him with the skills to be a good boy, he deserves it.

So I have a Aussie Puppy of 4 months. He was pulling on the leash so hard, you could hear his nails scratching the pavement. No amount of me pulling back would help. He would lean into the pull using his bodyweight as well. Unwalkable. I learned from you guys about prong collar. I got one. I was skeptical but I was willing to try anything. After only 2 corrections, He was walking almost loose leash. 2 Corrections. I was blown away. I didn't have to correct him again. Now our walks are much more exciting, because it frees me up to give him treats and train him, instead of spending the whole time trying to fight pulling. This saved me probably weeks of frustration. Love you guys.

Prong collars are the best tool ever for dog training. Seriously a game changer....immediate difference and over time perfection.

I have this exact issue with my 55lb male Border Aussie. I’m a frail 100lb woman in my 20’s. Walking him (him walking me) is the most dreaded part of my days. It’s how I broke both of my wrists needing surgery. He tugged me down some stairs to lunge at another dog where I fell and landed on my wrists. I want to take him everywhere - to stores and restaurants as the lady in the video said. I’m absolutely going to be trying this. Thank you

You hit this one right on the nail. My soon to be service dog was still struggling with leash manners after a month even though we were making progress. You are absolutely correct we do need prong collars for moments where our dog decides that they no longer wants treats or they are not hungry or you ran out of treats. I had this happen and I went to Petsmart IMMEDIATELY to get a prong collar. He is doing AMAZING now, learned leash manners in under 10mins.

Garret, you make dog training look easy. Thank you for sharing you tips with us. I learn something new everyday. I didn’t know the prong collar was supposed to be tighter around the neck. You’ve probably said it a million times but I missed it. I bought the wrong prong collar.. the one I got is “California Approved.” LOL I have to invest in a better one and train my puppy right. Thank you again.

Really enjoying the longer more detailed vids!

Your videos are joy to watch! Love the details.

my dog was really bad on leash pulling. I use prong collar and see the result in just a DAY. thanks for your videos, keep it coming :D

Out.. Standing! Thank you! Kitty, aka "Ding Dong" (for when she's acting ditzy), is a GEM! Now, a 3 yr old rescue I've had for a year and a half. She's a mix of 7 bigger dogs, two predominantly pity's. (The rescue told me Lab and Boxer, not even close. Not an ounce of Lab in her, but she does look it.) Trained her to the point she's on a first name basis with many of the stores in our area! It's to the point the managers have got on their store comm's to inform other associates that "Kitty's here." Walks in Home Depot are no problem as with other stores. "Left side, right side, back, forward, she'll pick stuff up when I drop it, the whole gamut, a real champ! I've trained her with a pinch collar and she's responded well to it and it's our go-to collar for every occasion. Have used an e-Collar primarily for 50 yard retrieves and only zapped her a couple of times, (because she was hiding under the trailer and didn't want to take a bath). She still cowers when it's bath time, and will reluctantly slither up to a 4' stack of training pallets. And now comes when called for bath time without the e-collar. Her big downfall, (she actually has two), but her big downfall is when she see's another 4 legged creature! It's like all her manners go out the window! Her trigger! Other dogs! I have the prong collar but rarely use it because she responds so well to the pinch collar. I use the prong once every 4 months or so when she starts getting a little too rambunctious on the pinch... But after watching this vid, tomorrow we're going back to the prong collar and heading towards the dog park for a walk to start to curb her reactiveness! This video is outstanding! Why I didn't think of the prong collar to mitigate the issues with her reactiveness towards other dogs earlier is beyond me? Thank you so much! I've had offers from others to buy her, and turned down some generous offers. Why in Walmart the other day, there was a line 10 deep just to cuddle with her and take pictures with her! Many will cringe as I'm training her to be my service dog. (That's so when I totally can't walk, I can put a saddle on her and rider her around!) I was told that service dog's shouldn't interact with other people... Non-Sense! I've trained her and she responds to eye commands, voice commands, and hand commands, and so as long as she's on her "A" game, I have no problem with her interacting when people want to take pictures with her... OK, sorry, I digressed. I have all the confidence now, after watching your vid, that if I use the prong collar, she'll get the message and ditch that reactive, trigger towards other dogs! OH! The second down fall as I mentioned earlier that she has is... She's a BED HOG! When I got her a year and a half ago, she shivered for the 1.5 hour ride home. Just shook uncontrollably. So I picked her little self up, put her at the foot of my bed and cuddled with her to try and settle her down all the while thinking, "Mike, you could be starting a real bad habit here." And now, a year and a half later, sometime she'll share my bed with me! J/k as all I have to do is look at her and she'll slither back down to the foot of the bed... Only for me to wake finding her tucked with her nose inside my armpit! Hence, one of her nick names, "Ding Dong!" Thanks again! Sincerely appreciate the effort and informative material you put out here for us. All the best, Sincerely- Mike n' the Mutt, aka Kitty, aka Ding Dong! 😀

This was wonderful and very helpful for us at home. TY for the free lesson :)

This video is so helpful I’m getting ready to prong collar and martingale collar train 6month old puppy SAAP rescue golden lab/ German shepherd wish me luck leash pulling walks are very rough afraid of falling love your videos

Your such a loving professional dog teacher ❤ you bring so much peace to the dogs and their owner's

Great information. Thank you for this video. Less anxiety for the owner is priceless.

What a great job by the Jedi and his owners! Garret, you did well as well! LOL

i just want to say thank you for the informative and detailed video! your videos helped me and my dog from having 1 walk a week to 3 times a day! this videos are very helpful especially for me and my reactive dog!

I have a Brittany that's given me so much anxiety when walking because of dog aggression from my puppy. I have learned so much from this channel & have started this way of training. Improvement in 1st 5 min and my walks are much much much more relaxed & enjoyable! Thank u!

The problem with the gentle leader is that most people don't use it correctly and, because of that, it can cause a pinched nerve in dogs who have longer necks or who are taller like Great Danes, Greyhounds, Standard poodles, etc. - I know from experience. That is just one reason why I don't like them either and prefer the prong collar.

Thanks for this video.

Thank you for sharing.😊

Good job brother I love your videos

Thank you!

My dog walks perfectly on the leash and he's constantly looking at me, he stops when I stop, he sits and stays if I talk to someone but all that ends when he sees a cat. I think he'd be easy to train with the prong collar and your valuable tips.

Great at what you do learn alot a trainer myself hope to have a dog for myself soon

Love your content! Our 16-month-old boxer "Smoke" is a nightmare on the leash (I'm a fit 38 y/o former marine with my left shoulder, finger and arm getting destroyed by his explosions XD). He's a fantasticg companion, clever, kind, ADHD MAX, no anger, and no aggression whatsoever, EVER. He, unfortunately? also has practically no interest in food rewards. He does love his biting and pulling toys though (so do I)! He learns quickly (he knows how to grab, hold, let go, sit, lay down, stand, stay, place, etc. (within the house 90%, thus far, outside 10-50% depending on his mood), but leash walking and outside playing and control is very challenging. Trying your techniques, with food, doesn't really work, he simply doesn't care outside. I did figure out that using your techniques (yes, free, watch, etc.) does work if I reward him with a tug- of-war! so, now I'm training with that. my question: Can you maybe make a video on how to use toy rewards, both in general and for leash walking? I did order a pinch collar (even though they are illegal in the Netherlands) to help him understand better what I expect of him outside (ill be introducing that gradually in the coming weeks), but it feels like I need a "carrot" first. keep up the great work.

THANK YOU !!! This video fixed my 3 year old dogs pulling problems in 15 min flat... Yeah, sure I will still have to remind her and use reinforcements... Within a matter of minutes she was doing exactly what he said she should be doing.. But know that I was walking her with tears rolling down my face...

I really appreciate your videos... very informative and helpful. We recently adopted (wife and daughter wanted another dog after our other Pitbull died last year) a male stray, one-year old, 70 pound American Staffordshire Terrier that pulls and lunges like a locomotive if he sees other animal (birds, deer, squirrels, or picks up on a animal scent, or sees another person walking nearby. My wife and daughter can't walk him if he gets triggered because he'll pull your arm out of your socket if you hang on... it's dangerous. So, I have to walk the dog, mornings, afternoons and evenings. It would be nice if other members of the family could walk this bull of a dog, because I can't all the time.

Used your prong collar on our 1 year old Corgi and simply the pop technique without a prong collar on our 4 year old Corgi. Within 1 walk both dogs are at 90% better. Great advice and instructions! Thanks!

What a beautiful coat color🥰🥰🥰🥰

GREAT INFO

Good video, thanks.

This guy knows how to speak I friggin love it

So my Mighty Paws martingale collar and Herm Springer prong collar came in the mail today. (And the safety connector, of course.) I tried the martingale by itself first. My 4mo old German Shepherd does not give half a sh!t about it. He acted like it was a challenge, like he was pulling a sled to the gold mine. It looks cool, though, and has less of a chance of breaking than a store bought collar, I suppose. The prong collar, though; has my dog walking at my side with a loose leash after 30 seconds. We did two half hour walks today out in public with hardly any problem. Pup got a self correction right after we put it on, then I showed him I want him at my side. Stayed there the whole time.

I m from nepal, watching your more vedios and technic thanks for you

I have a 3 month old German Shepherd, and trying to train him... like banging my head into a brick wall 😂. I wish you were here in Mo!! I could definitely use your help!! BTW, love you're videos!!

Looks good.

Bro, and you’re a Marine!? Semper Fi brother!! You’re my RU-vid dog trainer. Done.

I know these are cut for time and content but on average how long are these sessions initially? How much should I be training each session?

brindle colored dogs are so dang cute! I want 50 of them!

Owners got a great dog he wants to work for his people

GARRETT can you please use e collars on congress? Set it up that US citizens can push a button to correct their actions.

Are these videos geared only for bigger dogs or can an owner of a corgi use these videos? Like for a corgi that pulls…would you recommend a prong collar?

do you have a video on how to correctly fit a herm sprenger prong collar that doesnt have the clip please?

Quick question, how do you go about trading your dog when and when not to do his/her business on a walk? So we can take our dogs into stores without fear of them going as they please

My Rotti/English Mastiff pulls with the halti as well. Watching your video and going to learn prong collar…. The halti gouges his eye

I love his name.

Quality went way up in this video

Awwwwwwww!!!!! His name is Jedi!!!!

what kind of treats do you use?

A prong collar used properly... like power steering.

I've done training with my dog all the time and he has the same drive as this dog. I've never used any type of collar other than a cheap leash. If he gets to far ahead I give him a voice command to reset him. You have to train the 1st yr. What you allow then will carry over for yrs. Also it's your demeanor. Dogs can sense your attitude. If they think they can get away with it. They will do it. Give them an inch. They take a mile. Yes the other types of collars help but that's sort of a retraining type of thing. A dog who has been allowed to pull for so long. Means you have to reset them, as he says. That type of collar is like their mothers teeth. Your resetting him back to being a puppy status and this is how it's supposed to be.

prong collars-my bloodhound has serious dulap and when i tried to size the prong collar to his neck(high and tight) so that it stayed up it was way to tight and they way his breathing sounded was different (i took it off and added back the link) at this length it sits low and loose but he still responds like he should (work in progress)

Hi Garrett. May I know what kind of hotdogs you give as treats? I'm not sure if typical human hotdogs are OK because I believe it is very high in sodium. Thanks very much for guidance; love all your videos!

A love your methods. I have a 2 yr old French/old English and she is so reactive. I’ve got a prong collar but she still goes mental when she sees another dog. I don’t get stressed, I walk another way, try to walk into her, but she still focuses on the other dog, it’s like she wants to kill it 😢 I will keep trying, but it’s hard work 😮

I have an American bull dog that, he just turn 3 months and I want to learn how to train a puppy. He’s very much, “the leader” and it’s hard to train him do you have any tips that I can use on him?

what should I do with a small dachsund? Do i need a prong collar? or just some treats?

My 7 year old German shepherd dog is not too bad on the lead, but he is inclined to walk a little too far in front of me. I would like him to be near my pocket so he can engage better with me. Should use this video's process to achieve si similar results Love your channel, keep up the good work.

When should you introduce your pup to a prong collar

Do you use the same collar forever or how long after do I change the collar to a regular one?

Which prong collar should I use for an English mastiff and a doberman?

I have just rescued a 9 month old Besenji mix from a home that abandoned her. I want to begin training as soon as possible and her biggest issues are biting the leash and refusing to move forward to follow. What type prong collar is needed?

"Its not room service", theres me bringing my dogs homemade waffles whilst chilling after their long "hunt"💀🙈

How long do you use the prong collar for? Forever or until you think their behavior has shifted permanently to paying attention to whatever you ask?

Looking it up, a site said that feeding a dog hot dogs is terrible for him. Please advise.

👏👏 100%

Hi Garrett, my german shepherd is 3 months old and he's scared of going for walks. When we're leaving home he won't follow and on our way back he pulls me home. I don't have a prong collar. Would you suggest using one this early? I've had him for a bit more than a week now. I wanted him to get comfortable before using the prong collar. What do you suggest?

Prong collars are illegal in my state in Australia. What’s the next best alternative?

How do I avoid my dog from stopping and biting the leash when I make corrections?

Hey :) I'm a pride owner of a beautiful Presa Canario that is about 120 pounds, and have some of the same problem with a sudden jump or he is walking me, but live in Norway where Prong is forbidden, so do you have something else I can use? Thanks in advance for advice ;)

Good video! How long do I use the prong collar? Is it every time I walk my dog or just for training and they should get it?

Which size width herm sprenger prongs for 80lb American bully pocket size?

How do I choose the right size prong collar? I have a 47lbs hound mix and he needs this training! I need this as i don't feel my arms and wrists anymore and the walks are hell.

Do you you think this would work on smaller dogs? i have a Chihuahua pitbull mix hes on the smaller size maybe round 10 lbs? and hes very anxious around dogs and even yaps his mouth around people but lunges for dogs, (he thinks hes a mastiff and wont turn into a bigger dogs chew toy if provoked) i was thinking about getting the prong for him and my doberman (he pulls snapped one of our heavy duty leashes) and an e collar but id how id correct for barking with an e collar

I see you have the Unleashed class and Perfect Walk class. Which would be ideal for a dog that is overall pretty good on leash, but freaks out (to the point of attacking their own tale in a circle) every time they see a dog? This is a miniature pincher/shiba inu.

Which is the best prong collar

I wish i was in usa instead of australia!

What prong collar did you use in this video ? 👀

I see palm trees. Any chance you’re in the Orlando area?

The problem is, this collar is forbidden in the Netherlands. So what is the alternative?

Garrett what do you do you feed the dog raw hotdog

I was just gifted a 1 yr old female dobbie, I have started to walk her but MAN does she have some strength pulling trying to run. Every time she sees me she goes wild literally jumping on me and bitting me. What can I do?!

Could definitely use pointers on training Rottweiler puppy. What’s your experience with Rottweiler’s for a family dog?

Bro, you’re using a Packout for your leashes? I knew you were the guy after watching the first video.

Guys, the shallow depth of field is not working.

I have a dog ho is pulling non stop and i don't now what to do she is doing that becuse once the dog attacks her

i have a few questions because my 2 puppies

4:54 that's my pit mix right there smdh🙄🤦‍♀️😖

Poor Enzo poor hips

I want to get a new born puppy soon and I wanted to know when is it good to start training and what course would you recommend

How much do you charge for a session I have German shepherd rescue

is trhis recommended for Beagles? why dont you do a video with Beagles? I am scarried to use this collar with mine cause he won't stop

I wished I could use a prong collar but it's banned in the province of Québec , Canada . That goes with e collars too.

I had a trainer help me with my dog. He told me to tuck on the leash and say no I’ve been doing that my dog Otis is five years old. He’s a terrier and I’m from California. He lives to pool when I walk him. He gets hyper aggressive with other dogs, I need help

prong collars are banned where i live at. is there any other good alternative that i could use to get a compareable result?
