LOL, Yes sir, I am fully aware. However, I'm pretty sure you are confusing this as "aggressive behaviour":

While i've tried the direction changing with rewards to get him to stay behind me it gets annoying after awhile. I guess I could try sticking to it.
A dog who is pulling on the way home is not tired. A tired dog will not be pulling at the end of the leash. Step one "Tire" the puppy out. He is use to the routine of the walk. Change it and lengthen it. running will not tire them out only more time spent walking will. Then step two take the dog out front and work on teaching him/her to walk with you. A puppy will only truly learn when he is tired. Teach things like telling the dog "easy" or "back" using your leg to move in front or stop and wait till they come back to you if they are way up ahead. Training is seperate from excercise.

Well that kinda defeats the purpose if he's already tired and not pulling then it's time to go home. What I want to do is tire him out without him pulling.

how does that defeat the purpose. you need to have him tired before he can absorb a lesson. Then teach him to walk nicely. as you do this use those commands and corrections when walking, but puppy will know what they mean as you have been teaching it.

Yes but when he is already tired he doesn't pull or do anything i dont want, so by that time I dont need to tell him anything.

Lil Bastrd 12-05-2009 10:11 AM
you may not have to tell him anything but you can teach him commands like a "walk" command or "easy" and because he's tired he will be doing it, therefore you praise. As the pup hears these in the quick 5 min training session he will learn them, then start incorporating them into your walks. You need to teach the dog English first then you can use it to communicate.

Do people actually think he can change a dogs behavior by just saying "pssshh" and tapping them on the side?

He also charges $100,000 for private lessons.
Yea makes sense. I just started watching this show here and there as recommended from a co worker. I'm not dumb so I don't automatically jump to the conclusion that he is this magical dog training who will change a dog in minutes but some of the opinions he gives imo makes sense.

There are four types of dog owners that should use the halti instead of the training collar:

* Those that are forgetful! The training collar works like magic only if you are 110% consistent and snap every time your dog is pulling.
* Those who will give a very mild or slow snap, for fear of hurting their dog, etc. The training collar only works if the snap is lightning fast
* Those who have trouble snapping the leash because of a physical problem such as tendonitis, arthritis, bad balance, etc.
* Those who have a very powerful and/or large dog. The halti is like power steering compared to the training collar for those mule or moose-like dogs!

We had an Akita and the Halti made it so I could walk her without pulling my shoulder out of its socket. :thumbsup:

My husky (8months old now) was pulling HARD before!! Even on choke collars like 'the friendly collars'. Then I opted for the stainless steel pinch/prong ones. Made a world of difference. Only thing is to make sure the chain is on the side, and it sits right behind the ear and right under the jaw. And it should be tight enough not to slide even if they shake. I opted for this over the plastic ones cause its a lil more sturdy.

It's actually better than the choke ones as it requires less "snap" for corrections n they'll never constantly pull.

Do you still use it on walks?

You are lucky, I've trained ppls dogs who would continue to pull even with the pinch collars. They aren't for every dog and best if you use it with training classes and an instructor who knows how to best use this training tool.

(b)these dogs sholuld not be off leash at all,due to their aggressive behavior and/or lack of control with the owners.

You ever been to Trout Lake? I have seen so many dogs there that are off leash and running around being aggressive towards other dogs,50% of the dogs there have no business being off leash,yet the owners don't do a fucking thing about it,they just stand there and watch,being the fucking retard irresponsible owners they are.

let me ask you something....have you ever seen two dogs get into a fight? have you ever seen what a dog looks like after it has lost a fight or been attacked by a much stronger and aggressive dog?

Do you have any idea how much it cost in vet bills to care for a animal after it has been in a situation like that?

Do you even own a dog at all?.....if not,then STFU cause you have no clue about what your talking about.
Nothing makes me more angry than coming across douche bag owners who let their dogs off leash, when they have no business being off leash. Very few people bother to put the time into their dogs to make them well behaved. They are too fuckin lazy, and are too 'busy' to take the time. So I'm with you on this.

Although you may not agree with Cesar's method's, until I see proof he uses shock collars, or anything like that, I'm gonna call bullshit. Even if he does use them, chance are the dog needs it. While he's at it, he should put one on the owners for letting their dog(s) get that bad. Shock them everytime they do something wrong. Regardless what you think of the guy, there is something to his methods, and all dog owners should read at least one of his books. It's just another perspective to concider.

No. He hasn't been out for walks for the past 10days. Only out to poo/pee. Just got neutered and it's shitty weather so he's inside to keep the stitches dry.
No collar at all now.

Yeah but when you DO take him out for walks, do you still use the prong?

nipples 01-06-2010 12:16 PM
It's on his neck, but the leash is attached to his regular collar. But if he misbehaves then I'll snap it on the pincher

But I'm going to bring him for some professional training. His prey drive is HUGE!!! Once something triggers it, he goes into autopilot. Tapping his hind, his legs, shaking a can of pennies, yelling, clapping...nothing. He zeros in and goes for the kill. Good thing it's a loose dry leaf being gussetted by the wind! Hahaha

14days without any contact with us. OH BOY!!!
