How to use a Leash to Stop 90% of Behavior Problems. Leash Pressure Training!

I have a 13 week old German Shepherd/ Siberian Husky and after 1 week she’s crate trained, knows a few voice commands and is walking on a leash - thanks so much for demystify the puppies for us!

Another great training session. I love the way my puppy can anticipate what I want by my body language before I get there. She communicates with me so well. Piercing stares to tell me something and shows me what it is, asks me for playtime, offers me climbs, goes to her bed, does the most enthusiastic downs and spins. People always commenting on how well trained she is. All because of you Nate 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you so much ☺️

The most effective training approach with the best coach ever. I have been watching videos from different sources with no real value or concept. The fact that Nate is using a reward based training gives him the credit of being the most scientific based trainer. Thanks Nate.

Congratulations 🎊 nate for 100k subscriptions, good job, keep it up👍

you are a great guy bro

Another excellent lesson! Thank you! 💞

Thank you Nate!

As an aspiring training your videos are so educational even with the hands on learning I’ve gotten

Hi!! Love the new video editing!! I have been studying your videos (+ the training manual on my kindle!) religiously weeks before I brought my gsd pupper home. She is almost 10 weeks now (home since 8w) and she’s got a good grasp of the markers (yes, free, no), luring/steering, leash pressure, sit, down, spin, touch, between, heel, place, climb, paw, crawl, back-up, out, “attack” (for tug). Obviously all of these need polishing and for some she hasn’t tied a verbal command with the cue yet. I’m in DISbelief at where we are at with obedience training, it’s fascinating that I’m having somewhat of a conversation with my dog with my cues and markers (and HER cues to me as well)! And this is ALL thanks to your guidance. I unfortunately haven’t had the same renaissance moment with behavior. First among my many challenges is her apparent fear (I think it’s a mix of fear + desire to play) of strange dogs. She will often get fixated on dogs near us and bark if they are too close. At a certain level of arousal I don’t attempt to distract her with commands so that she doesn’t get used to ignoring me (is this the right way to think?). Instead I get out treats and make fun noises and excitedly begin to run in the opposite direction. I’ve been doing this since her very first day when she growled and barked at a high energy airport security dog and I’m not sure my approach is working. I was also concerned that even if this approach worked, if the root cause of the problem is that she is anxious about these dogs (afraid/excited), always distracting her from stimulating things wouldn’t actually address the problem..? Also, are trainer-supervised puppy playtimes a good idea as part of socialization? She overcame her timidity the first class. Was happily excited for her second class. And on the third she was screaming and squirming demanding to be let down to play. I strongly believe she has and will continue to learn important dog skills and manners, but I wonder if these playtimes are setting her up to have problems on leash. Sorry for the length! I wish you were based in NYC.. I have lots more questions and I’m super eager to learn the SORCERY that you practice.

Love your videos, always very positive and well explained.

Excellent video

Hi Nate! Thank you so much for the obedience series, I've been binge watching it in anticipation for my new GSD. Getting her in one week! Quick question about the order of training. Would a rough outline of the process look something like this? 1. Teach name 2. Conditioning to markers 3. Luring 4. Luring into basic commands/positions 5. Leash Pressure 6. Verbal Commands Thanks again and please keep up the youtube videos they are gems!

Amazing Thanks

Great technique,,,🙂

Hi! Your videos are so great! I’ve always had dogs and we always have the basics down and I’m excited to do some more advanced training!! 2 weeks ago I decided to get an Australian shep/boarder collie 😅 this gal is giving me a run for my money! I’m just wondering how many reps we should do each day? Should I work on one thing every day? Or multiple things? She’s 8 - 10 weeks old.. thanks!!! Any advice is appreciated

Good PRACTICAL information!👍🏽 —> sub’d

Love love love your videos! Will use this when husband finally agrees we need a dog haha

Great video Nate. as usually . I recommend your channel to all my friends who ask questions about god training

Thanks a lot for the video! I have a question, what to do if the puppy is more interested in biting at the leash instead of following the pressure? lure with food I suppose?

Some ppl think that by watching videos they will have this amazing dog in a few weeks.It doesn’t work that way.You need to actually put in the time and have patience.It Isn’t rocket science,please also don’t use the crate as a punishment device.Some dogs also learn a lot faster than others or will succeed in a certain area quicker than in other areas. And probably IMO,the most important advice to crate training(which is the easiest for potty training and also gives the puppy a sense of security),NEVER leave the Collar on when they are in the crate. I’m no means an expert trainer,far from it,I just believe training needs to be a 24/7 fluid process.Spend time with your puppy,as much as possible and don’t ever lose your temper.Every moment of every day can be a training experience,as in you can be training when not training..if that makes sense.Also sometimes the puppy just isn’t feeling it so you have to adapt to that as well.
