This video covers how to teach your puppy what you do want him to do instead of biting and nipping at your legs and clothes when you walk through a room or go for a walk with him. This video also covers biting at the leash.

You look so happy ma’am. I am so glad and proud of you for pushing through everything. Thank you for continuing your content during these times. You have helped me so much with not only my puppy blues but helped solved many issues our 10week old mastador has. We learned he was taken from his mom at 4.5 weeks, so there’s been a lot of craziness. Thank you.
This concept of rewarding a dog when it’s doing well has completely changed the way I train because it works! I encourage all dog owners to watch your videos.
I’m not sure how that’s such a crazy concept to you, why would you not reward the dog when he does well? You’re gonna get mad at it for doing the right thing? This should be a given. Even negative reinforcement training rewards the dog for doing well
@Baron Von Bielski Of course! What changed for me was to catch them doing well and rewarding them. To not say no! when they make a mistake. To reward them for just sitting quietly, for instance. A subtle change, but so effective.
why would it be a surprising concept to you? Isn’t it common sense to reward the dog for good behaviors? Rest assured tho, most dog owners understand this basic concept already.
@Sheridan Boy, I’m not explaining my self well. I have always used a positive reinforcement training approach, always. What I haven’t done is reward them when (ex.) they’re laying quietly next to me. Not after being naughty, not after anything, just hopped up on couch and settled next to me. I praise them, sometimes a treat, no big deal. Not necessarily what I did before. At least not formally, with intent. I might have hugged them and said, good girl, I love you. Something positive, but not with a treat (we have a puppy).
It’s something not many people think to do (coming from someone who works as a dog trainer). Owners usually think “oh, I’ll reward them if they do something I asked for”, but most of them don’t realize you gotta reward your pets for not doing anything wrong when you’re not asking them for anything! It improves their behaviour a lot!
This is super helpful! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, and it’s great to see these common topics covered. I’m planning on getting a puppy next year, and the one thing I really don’t want is for him or her to be chasing and bothering my cat. You explained it so well, I think I can adapt the same principles to train a puppy to be calm around cats.
I’m so glad your new puppy is doing well and having fun with the other dogs.
Wonderful and brilliant! I’ll be getting a puppy in a few years and training them myself as my assistance dog (I’m Autistic and ADHD) and watching your puppy videos (and all your videos really) gives me confidence – I’m so anxious I’ll misread my puppy and mess it up. When I’m well enough to work you and Hannah Branigan are the top people I will be supporting! As always, thank you✨
Fellow Au-DHDer here too, and I am doing the same! 😍
Love your clutter free house. So good to see you with a lovely puppy again.
OMG thank you so much!! I was going to ask you for this! My puppy loves my flip flops Sox and toes when he’s in maniac mode (the feet thing is new). He knows what toys are his he just thinks I’m adding new ones. Lol. Doing our best. Your new pup is super adorable and cute!
Lovely to see this ongoing training and stuff with the new pupper. Such a cutie omg
Thank you for the wonderful tips
Again, I have a very elderly dog, but your videos are so stellar! I recommend them all the time. Now a family member is getting a pup, so these are so appropriate! Thanks!
I’ve been trying to reward good behavior but my Maltese puppy just feels like a magnet to my foot. Even if I’m standing still, if he’s in the same room as me, he lunges for my feet and doesn’t let go until I distract him. It seems to be getting worse so I worry that he’s associating getting the attention he wants with biting my ankles, but it’s not like I can just ignore getting chewed on and walking away only makes him more interested. I probably need to figure out how to get him in a calm state first since he’s usually either hyperactive or passed out.
im having similar issues with my bernadoodle. she nips at my ankles cause she knows she’ll get treats when she listens to me and stops. so if i dont give her treats, she gets more and more aggressive and i dont know what to do. and when shes sleepy shes totally uninterested in anything, even with turkey, cheese, chicken, her treats, anything.. shes not interested when shes lying down. either super hyper or slumped. haha 2 weeks in and im struggling
You may have inadvertently reinforced the behavior by giving treats for stopping. The dog has learned that biting ankles gets them a treat.
@dmaneri78 hahah looking back on my comment from a month ago, now shes doing great and doesnt bite ankles. i think i definitely reinforced the behavior at first but as she grew she got better!
This is a great vid – thanks so much!
Thank you for another wonderful video!! You are inspiring so many of us to be, not only better dog owners, but also better humans.
Love it. We are working on the same topic.
We use your set up with the table.
Your mechanics are great.
Okay but how do you train this sort of stuff when the puppy doesn’t already know it? Your videos are so good, but your puppy is laready super well trained and behaved-—mine is at point 0 it feels like in comparison, this game won’t help at all 🙁 . I’d like to see a day 1 of this game rather than the puppy already know it so well ha ha
You make it look so easy. My pup is just constantly in hyper mode.
Did they eventually calm down? Mine’s the same right now .
@Starlit Gaming Yeah, he stopped around the 5-6 month mark haha
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to find tonight. You’re saving me and my ankles!
Great video. Very helpful. Is that a plastic bag or some other type of bag (e.g. silicone) in your treat pouch? Can you let me know the bag/brand? I have been looking for bags to put in my pouch that are easy to get the treats out quickly. Very difficult to find.
Very informative !! Thanks 👍🏽
Hi, m from India 🇮🇳 1st time i watched your 1 video and now m continuously watching, appreciate your patience and your style the way you are training the dog,, since 5 month daily I was searching proper and complete training video, so now finally I have found….. Thank you for your precious time to make training video… Thanks alot….. Now I’ll give training to my puppy,, then I’ll share the feedback… Actually my puppies is always pulling my pants at the time of walk 👣
So helpful! Thanks for posting the video!
I’ve only just seen your videos (from a recommendation) but they are all absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much! What do you do when your puppies and dogs are excited? Surely in the mornings before they’ve had a walk and what-not they are bouncing around and full of energy? How do you prevent things like jumping up then? Thank you again!
