Hey this is John, above is my 2 year old border collie. I built this site to help others who are struggling with dog behavioural problems.
Up to a few months a go Sammy had a few behaviour type problems and barked a lot. To the point where my neighbours were complaining regularly.
I have searched high and low for the answer, I tried out lots of different methods, including remote static and vibration colars, citronella colars and various other products, with no real success.
Well there is a way......
I eventually found my way and Sammy and me have worked through our problems. Sammy no longer barks, we are both much happier and no more complains from my neighbours !!
I wish I new back then what I know now! To find out more about how I did it click here.

fantastic video
U loser, why do you have to talk such shit all the time. don’t watch the video, you negative twat. Thats why ur dog despises you.
Get a life
This video is crap. This dog already knows how to walk on a leash.
thats stupid to call him small puppy then he wont get used to his name
Our puppy is only 8 or so weeks but refuses to walk on the lead. He lies down and won’t budge, no treats or pulling him along works. He’s a border collie so I thought he would delight in the out doors, and his brother likes walking with the leesh.he’s a bone idle mush. Help!
@ConiferTreez Seems kinda fishy to me that someone with such expert training like you would be watching a video on how to walk a dog….
she sounds like she is new to it
my puppy himself learned to just walk on the leash the first time i was gonna train him i never trained him before i was walking back but he knew i was trickin him so he just pulled on the leash
im not deaf. how do i get rid of these fucking subtitles
@ConiferTreez The use of a pinch collar is nearly always a last resort, used only if you’ve exhausted every other possible option. Mainly because they’re so simple to misuse, and cause actual harm to the puppy. I also don’t know anyone who’d prescribe them to someone on the internet, w/o even meeting the puppy and obvserving the owner’s technique.
And, telling the other commenter to “yank the living shit out of it until she stops pulling” out of her 2 month ancient puppy sounds like brute force.
No one is saying that you should use “brute force” on a fucking puppy or a toy breed, christ almighty.
Pinch collars are meant to be positive/relaxing things, especially for a puppy.
If a dog (any dog, puppy or not) CONSISTENTLY refuses to do what it’s told, then necessary actions must be taken. One sharp yank usually does the trick.
Most pussy-footed assholes that work at rescue facilities should in essence not be working with animals at all, ESPECIALLY not animals that have severe behavioral issues. The way to fix an out-of-control, man-biting Rottweiler is most certainly NOT “positive reinforcement”, haha.
cially with smaller, toy breeds, you could really KILL a puppy doing what you suggested. So yes, what you said was very much horrifying.
And as for my experience? Volunteering with the local Humane Society, being close friends with reputable breeders who have bred many litters of healthy, sociable puppies who manage to be trained without brute force.
@ConiferTreez “Yanking the living shit” out a dog is a method you reckon people should use on puppies–or any dog for that matter? If you walked up to a rescue worker, you know, people who deal with dogs who’ve been mistreated all their lives, and I wonder how many of them would agree with your practice.
And your “experience” doesn’t even make sense for this issue. This video is for the average person raising an average puppy. Not dogs with “EXTREME” behavioral issues. I hope you know, that espe
Since when did treating a dog like a dog become horrifying? I tell ya, only in America, hahaha.
You know absolutely NOTHING about animals. I rehabilitate ex-fighting dogs/dogs with EXTREME behavioral issues, dogs that have previously bitten people and/or other dogs.
Please elaborate on the depth of your experience.
@RuinedbyReality Positive reinforce has it place, but it shouldn’t b used for everything! Its to reward a excellent behavior, but some behavior is not wanted. ANd a dog who follows you because it “WANTS TOO!” is a dog that isn’t trained at all! I know dogs that will sit for a person when it wants to, but it not very often, and the dog is not trained well at all!
@RuinedbyReality Dogs may not be children, but they do learn through association, if you they see the yelled at and than pulled off the couch their gonna get the point, and depending on the breed some dogs are quicker than other at picking it up. I mean how do you teach a dog oh dont jump on the couch using positive reinforcement, throw a treat, to get them off or take them outta the room! Your rewarding terrible behavior!
@nikigurl08 But dogs aren’t like kids. You can punish a child and the child will know why they were punished. Unfortunately, dogs’ brains don’t work like that. If you punish them, they won’t know why they’ve been punished, and they won’t stop the behavior. All you end up with is a dog that still pees on the carpet or jumps on the couch, but who is now worried of you.
@ConiferTreez Your comments are both horrifying and horribly, horribly inaccurate.
I have a 12 week ancient lab. I’ve had him for a week now. Was able to teach him to walk on a leash. Buy a clicker, click it, and give him a treat every time you do until they see that every time you click they get a treat. Then teach them to “sit” or something simple. AS SOON AS their butt hits the floor, click and treat & praise. Just be patient. Next, clicker to teach to walk. When they are close to you, not pulling, click and treat. PS, my puppy needed aloe gel on pads of feet. Get sore quick.
YouTube should ban this worthless woman from posting these laughable videos.
Positive reinforcement works with lame & meek dogs. IT DOES NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT WORK WITH MOST DOGS.
MOST dogs need a foot up their asses, it’s just that simple.
Place a pinch collar on her, make it as tight as possible, place it right around the crown of her neck, right before the skull, & yank the living shit out of it until she stops pulling.
I totaly agree one of my puppys just grabs the lead and wont let go , so anoying lol
I have a labrador puppy shes 2 months ancient n she wont walk on a leash she keeps on pulling back n stays in the same spot sitting down i often pull n it doesnt work pls help
Some trainer that are all hyped up on the positive reinforcement will say this is mean! But do you give a kid ice cream when they stop jumping on the sofa? Jus sayin dogs are a lot like kids, and their a time say no and a time to reward. I hope this helps it did wonders w my pom, my bf’s doberman, and a bunch of other dogs i’ve worked w. ANd it working on my 11 week ancient pom.
