I just thought I would give an update on how me and poppy are doing. The first thing that I have worked out is that it is me that is being trained and not poppy. Because of this poppy has become a lot calmer and relaxed, she comes up for more cuddles with us which is lovely. There is still some barking at other dogs which is getting less and she sat whilst a dog walked passed us for the first time about a week ago (a very proud daddy) things are moving in the right direction. Walking has become a pleasure with no pulling on the lead. Thanks again Will and team

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

Thank you for your help with me and poppy, we have taken everything you showed me in the session and using it in the real world. We went out for a walk this evening and she walked beautifully. We are able to get closer to other dogs. Not perfect yet but getting better. Slip lead all the way.

You have a gift for explaining perfectly what a dog is thinking. You're a natural teacher.

So weird how much of my own situation felt mirrored in this video. I have a black pit/lab mix and she does all the things Poppy did. Pulls at the leash incessantly, barks at any human who gets within 10 feet of her, and now even barks at other dogs (she didn’t used to, so the leash aggression is getting worse). She also tries to wander off to the side and does sudden stops to examine anything of interest with her. Frequently crosses behind me, and more dangerously, in front of me, which means I step on her paw, or trip myself up trying to avoid that.

She’s a little over a year now, and I got her at 3 months from a shelter, where she had already been adopted once and returned. So I was determined not to fail her…but I am. Anyway, these videos do help, I just wish I could get in-person owner training from Will.

Also, if anyone read this entire comment, thank you for listening to my TEDtalk. 😬☺️

I love the “loading” comment. I can sense that with my rottie pei without even looking at her - she sends the energy up the lead. I love all of what you’re saying! I’m slowly winning the argument that I am actually the pack leader, not her stubborn, sassy ass 😂

[joshuafillmore]

I've had this problem since day one of finding a GSD I rescued. Your videos have helped me understand her so much! You have no idea how much you helped me and Marley connect. Love you man, I'll always watch your content!

Lovely dog, just needed a bit of Will’s no-nonsense yet magical mastery of canine behavior.👏

[donnaallgaier-lamberti]

You do have a real gift. Boy, do I relate this this situation!! We experience the same issues. My Lab/Staffy spent her first year in a kennel with zero experiences and came to me with a lot of bad habits including reactivity. I was not the leader I needed to be, but I am learning, and she is improving as well.

It works magic! I have been trying it with many shelter dogs (I walk them often), and even during our first walks I manage to reduce reactivity (leash pulling/barking at other dogs, etc.) by 70%. I can imagine, how fast we would progress, if it was done every day. Just basically changing directions already helps a lot, the doggie waits for your next move and doesn't pull that much! You develop engagement and focus at the same time.

Fab video because more real life. My attempts never quite look like Will’s successes! Thank you

[beastmaster]

Just found your channel. So interesting and I love the passion in which you do your work!

[nadiahunt]

You’re so smart, thank you!! Thank you thank you thank you!

[jessicaphillips]

My husband and I rescued an abused husky whose previous owners kept her chained up and let their other dog harm her so she is terrified of other dogs. We've had her a year and have tried everyday to work with her, but have only made little progress. I'm definitely going to try a head halter now. Thanks for this

[andrewjpturner]

Wow, trying this as soon as yhe slip lead arrives, I did think that its was down to me having more control. Thank you so much for all your videos

[sbarbie]

Thank you for clarifying the difference in reactivity between fear based and confidence based. My 3 year old rescue pitbull is a very confident boy. He is reactive to some dogs, usually larger dogs, but he seems happy to greet them and then gets reactive after a few seconds. I need to work on my leadership so he looks to me in those situations. I really enjoy your helpful videos

[ellenczaplinski]

Thank you for showing a great example of how to correct a reactive/independent female! My female toller has similar issues. Eager to apply these techniques with her!

[Bendino]

You are by far the best trainer I’ve seen on YouTube. I’m pretty competent training, but I have two distance behaviors I could use help with. One: getting on furniture when I’m not home. We don’t use a crate and she only does it when I’m not home. Not in front of me. Playing rough in response to rough play. She is a rescue and can be reactive and bitey at a distance. Working on leave it and recall and it’s going well, more looking for a way to train that behavior away specifically since it’s so momentary and a reaction.

[proghoster]

New here, and here to stay. Incredibly informative videos, and it’s apparent how much you love the work. Cheers!

[DanaK]

Oh my gosh I needed to find this video. I have a border collie mix and he’s the classic “He’s a GREAT dog, really! He just sometimes….” dog. I’ve tried tons of different methods to correct him. Finally I did what this owner did and started avoiding public places because my awesome, affectionate dog is a raving psycho when he sees other dogs. I will be buying a slip lead today and trying this out!
