  7. Collar type for an 8-week old GSD? There is so much info out there regarding force-free training vs a more balanced approach. Any comments/remarks in this? Thanks!

    1. Randolph….CONGRATS on your new pup!! I own a 7 month GSD and have trained a few…see my videos if you wish. In my opinion…..I would start right off with a martengale for a month…..depending on your pups “drive/temperament/threshhold to corrections…you WILL likely need to implement a 2.25 prong collar by HERM SPRENGER at 4-6 months (this will help within 30 minutes at most, start inside teaching leash pressure/no distractions)….Your dog will REQUIRE “Balanced training” through reinforcement and some well timed and fair corrections. You dog is likely too “hard” for a force free garbage approach unless you want to be manhandled when your dog is 75 pounds……balance is VITAL for success!! These are not lapdogs….as youll be well aware in the next few months!! Work on obediene and hand feed the first month or so teaching yes/no/wait/etc…..you enter/leave first always! Have fun, be patient…crate train as most GSD are intense and YOU need to teach them what is and is NOT allowed IN AND OUT OF the home, etc!! Make a huge deal, throw a party for the first 5 timed your dog shows a behavior, then name it!!! This is where your yes/no/wait…through hand feeding will really help you out!! Hang in there and train the dog you want NOW as an adult!!

    2. Kingdom K9 Training Academy Thank you for your reply! I’m a recent subscriber and look forward to watching all of your content.

      I currently do not have my puppy quite yet. I’ve been researching breeders, reading up on animal behavior, watching tons of YouTube videos and purchasing the essentials for my much anticipated furry friend. You can never be over prepared : ).

      Thanks again for your feedback!

  10. Would love to see your thoughts on how to train to allow for exercise and loose leash walking. In other words, there are times I’d like the dog to be able to run a bit on a long leash, but then know when it’s time to walk nice next to me. I use a short red leash for training and a long retractable leash for roaming. But not sure if I’m just confusing the poor thing. Love your vids. They are very helpful.

    1. Hey Phil….whats the age/breed… Ive worked with many dogs. I would ONLY use 1 lead and teach yes/no so your dog knows what is expected…I use a 15ft “long line” teaching my dogs “leash pressure”….luring and shaping inside first for 5 minutes a few times a day. Also….luring into “heel” position…mark it when in position “yes” and give them the reward within a second!! Repeat!! Once doing well, take it outside, go slow….when not doing it properly….a gentle no and “lure” back to position…”yes” and reward! Have fun!! Teach it a “release word”….okay or break, free, whatever you want so it knows….its the dogs time to roam until you ask it to do something else!!

    2. Kingdom K9 Training Academy Thank you! She’s a 7 mo old Blue Heeler (probably mix with Australian Shepard) – Texas Heeler? Anyway, appreciate the input. She’s doing pretty well with food in my hand to heel, but we’re still at the 35lbs of “out of mind” pull to run for that darn squirrel…Ha! So sometimes a “gentle no” just isn’t in the cards. But working inside first is a great suggestion and separating the commands to include a “release” is very helpful.

  11. Thanks Natalie! FYI I am giving some opinions to assist your followers….you can tell me anytime to “shut up” and ill let them live and learn like we did for years! I just know the distress and how a dog can impact a family/etc very badly and love to help….keeps me busy! Again, thanks and keep teaching proper tool usage..im a big fan of yours, larry krohn, robert cabral, tom at uppstate.! Sat healthy and gritty!! Love from Vermont!

  12. Hi Natalie. More great information for us beginning trainers.

    Although, I found I was able to follow your recent leash training with dude (?) more easily, due to the visuals. The angle and distance in this one made it a bit difficult for me to follow. Was Matt on camera? (I hope that’s his name. I’m bad). Usually I love his work. Thanks both of you!

    1. The prong is a tool used to educate the dog, it’s not a matter of “if” it’s needed – the prong is how I prefer to teach the loose leash walk in the most concise, fair, and efficient manner possible. If you watch the session in it’s entirety you should understand why.

  16. So, what about puppies? My girl is 14 weeks, I use both harness and collar. I’ve tried distracting when she’s on the leash with food or toys, it helps some times but when I use her collar with a leash, she’ll play with the leash, especially if I just let the leash go to wait for her to stop. For some reason at night time potty breaks, she doesn’t care about the leash.

  17. You’re videos have really helped me! But my dog is very non-compliant (?) whenever I try to do the whole walk back and forth until he follows you, my dog just digs his heels in and stares at me like I’m an idiot lol.
