This is a video tutorial on how to teach your puppy not to bite at his leash.
Don't start the training games, AS the problems are occurring. Start the games when your puppy is calm and relaxed to set him up for success.

If your puppy is very excitable, you could have your puppy on leash or in a pen while someone else does the distraction further away from you at first so that the puppy can cope.
Teaching default calm behaviors like a 'settle' will increase your puppies abilities to cope with exciting situations and make the correct choices.
always wonderful ideas! Thanks Emily.
Well done, as usual!
Awesome! A lot of dog owners have this problem with their dogs and I am sure that this video will help them tremendously!
I have a question, what if your dog is so stimulated by the cat that she is always seeking him out, and can never focus outside because she is anticipating chasing the cat? When we are outside nothing else exists but the cat, and this is creating a big problem. Is there a way similar this one to teach her not to be stimulated so much by the cat? She has just recently picked up this habit.
love it!
An invaluable video, wish their were more trainers like you around.
I have gone through many a leash with my GSD, and only advice I had been given previously was to “tell him no” and “drop the leash” both of which only seemed to make it into a game for him. He is getting better after using this sort of exercise, but if he gets over excited on a walk and grabs the lead it’s hard to snap him out of it and get him back to being relaxed.
@emzlou09 Anything that the dog *really* likes. String cheese and hotdogs (you can get about 200 treats out of a single hot dog) often work well. Most dogs work best for soft, savory treats, although some go nuts for Cheerios or similar things.The dogs regular dry food generally isn’t motivating enough for most dogs when working around distractions, but you can mix it in a treat bag with some stinkier, higher value treats or grated parmesan cheese or something to make it “worth more” to the dog.
@kikopup The video is called “No Pulling!: Clicker Dog Training ” also the black dog did give me blisters on my hands- that WAS indeed the most difficult leash puller I have encountered! Even though I used to work at a shelter with Katrina dogs that only got to leave their cages 1 a day- Rotties Mastiffs… None pulled as intensely as this Black dog… but of course you cant really tell because the dog did so well in the video. Clicker training is about setting dogs up for success
@kikopup and I Agree 🙂 Setting dogs up for success should be the new fad in dog training, and I hope it doesnt go away.
Omg I forgot how cute dalmation puppies are!
My collie bites the lead whenever a motorbike goes past (she ALWAYS goes utterly mad when she hears or sees one) or when a car passes. I guess its just because she cant get to the bike or car. She sometimes does when we set off on a walk. I just say `leave it` and stop until she does. No problem. I like the way you are so calm and so sweet to the dogs on your videos, including your own ofcourse. What a lovely pup!
I just used your technique on my 9 week old English Golden Retriever pup. He learned to leave the leash alone in just 15 minutes! He used to bite frantically at the leash and shaking and tugging it without let-up. We practiced what you said over and over again and pretty soon he didnt care about the leash one bit. I will continue to reinforce this lesson to solidify it. Thank you. He’s already impressed us and showing some of the best turn around ever!
I’m investigating training a dog and found a great website at Bevs Booster Guide (google it if you are interested)
@palma raja 4 No.
Some of kikopup’s other videos deal with these sort of problems. They focus on rewarding your dog for being calm; rather than targeting him solely when he is in an excited mood, find him when he is calm, or wait until he is calm, and reward him. Keep an eye out for calm behavior and reward him when you notice it; don’t wait until he is acting up. It’ll take a bit of time and several sessions, but it will teach him that he is rewarded for being calm and he’ll learn to enjoy being calm.
what puppy treats do yo like to use and at what age would you allow puppies start eating meat raw or cooked or ground?
Nine years later… wow very good advice. About to stat our 10 week puppy on leash work and glad I saw this.
Can I ask you which treats your feeding your dog for this? Would you forgo the doggy’s dinner if training rewarded them with a bounty of treats, or would you decrease the amount of food at dinner?
OMG this is fantastic! Really helped 8 week old River! Thank you thank you!!!

Once u teach simple commands always reset him by Sit Stay n open the door. Once he obey sit then walk him out . This will keep him from running out n bolting into the streets
Should I just let my puppy chew or pick up the leash on walks while doing this training at home? She’s already made a bit of a habit of it and I’m not sure how to deal with it in the meantime until she starts ignoring it properly. I would like to pause going on uncontrolled walks until this issue is fixed but I’m extremely concerned about making sure she gets her socialization before she hits 12 months, plus she prefers going potty outside. It’s deterred any of my attempts to teach her about leash pressure, and she always gets a mouthful of leash on the way back from potty breaks 🙁
