I have an Australian Shepard and Husky mix who are both almost 2 years old. Both are unsocialized to people and dogs and bark at everything. I have watched a number of your videos where you go through stages of training. This is the part that is missing for us. We have been incorporating your methods, this last week and the response to YES is short of a miracle. Looking forward to continuing the program as we see results already. Will follow up once we are done with the six-weeks. Thanks for the in depth videos showing step by step the training process. We have learned a lot about dog behavior and are looking forward to happier dogs.
This has been very helpful for me with my 7 month old puppy.
I wish I had found you 5 months ago!
I'm sick of local trainers telling me not to walk my puppy because it will only teach her to pull. Yet not giving me the tools to teach her not to pull. Except for slip leads and prong collars. Which are not a solution for us.
I'm not going to lie. I'm doing the indoor work to slowly teach her to heel. But I'm also taking her to the state park nearby and working on loose leash walking based on your videos. In 3 days, she is already improving.
She needs an outlet for her energy. When we walk, she is a completely different and more happy, content puppy the rest of the day.
The advice I have gotten has limited my dog's life too much. I'm doing what I feel is right for her now while seeking out the best advice I can find that I think will work for what she needs. Your videos have been so helpful.
Thank you!
We just adopted a two year old chocolate lab rescue pup named Layla about 3 months ago. She is the best girl but lacked sone training and her leash skills were pretty poor. She pulled like crazy and although she is not reactive in the sense of being scared or aggressive to other dogs and people, she is overly friendly and pulls to be able to meet them all! I found the Happy Hounds YouTube videos which have been an amazing help however we were not sure if we were trying to do too much at once or in the right order so we bought the training guide. I am so glad we did! Because we were already following the videos we were not really at week 1 but we figured somewhere between weeks 2 and 3 to start. Since following the weekly guide her walking and leash skills are so much better and we are ready to move on to week 5 that includes dog neutrality. I still love the videos and reference them all the time but the structure of the week by week guide has made all the difference! If anyone is struggling with walking I highly recommend this guide!
I have two very highly reactive dogs, ones a rescue Rottie, Raseri and the other is a rescue pocket Pittie, Dahlia. Both dogs are very headstrong and physically strong. So far into following the base instructions they are really walking better, not reacting in negative ways, I mean they used to go absolutely apeshit if they saw another dog or for some reason Dahlia hates E-bikes. They have gotten so much better at refocusing and the outburst though still there are becoming minimal. It's a lot of work but following these training techniques has helped me as well as a dog partner for nearly 40 years. I tell my friends about ya'll too. Thanks, Phil O.
I am on week 2 of the leash walking programme and have found it to be stress-free and easy to implement. I am using this with both of my dogs and they are responding very well and learning quickly. I'm grateful for a force-free method as I am more relaxed as well knowing that I do not need to use corrections. Thank you !
