That is good that you don’t want your dog to escape, one great collar that I have discovered after using choke collars without being able to train my dog is a gentle leader it prevents pulling because it makes the dog’s head turns sideways when they pull instead of tightening so they can’t go forward much. If your dog already heels and the collar is just to have an extra strong collar that works though.
My problem is that my Irish Setter, if he gets off his leash (he broke his collar a while back) is gone…he loves to run, and it doesn’t matter if I chase him or not…does anyone have any real suggestions on how to train him not to bolt when he’s off-leash? For his safety and well-being, any suggestions are welcome!
Loads of people say it doesn’t work, but I usually find that these people don’t practise it the right way. I don’t even look at Elly when I walk away. It was either… get her to follow me, or lose her, and I certainly didn’t want to lose her!
If an owner gets the dog to stay with them while walking of the lead or leash, then it solves all sorts of problems in the future like running away from home and running off if the leash gets accidentally dropped or broken.
I agree. Don’t chase your dog! We had a german shepard that loved to play the run away game. He thought it was a lot of fun. Once we stopped chasing him, the game was over. We would just go home, open the gate, place a big bucket of fresh water by the door, and within ten minutes he was home. Eventually he stopped the run away game.
This technique worked great for my basenji.
I have this problem with a friends dog. When i clip him off the leash he will surely just run away but i a not sure if hes already dependent on me enough or if he would just walk away lol. So i reather chase him. Better then if he gets hit by a car or lose. maybe after some time. Althoug its reather stupid to train a dog which you have just temporary. My friend dont have time to train him though :-/ .. guesse i need to get my own dog and take care of him myself
good for you!
Great Help! I’ve been doing this all wrong.
I used it on a chihuahua and a dachshund. Worked just fine for me.
Please don’t use a choke collar, in my experience they are uncomfortable, dangerous and they teach a dog absolutely nothing!
stop lying. this **** don’t work. this only works because Border Collies are the smartest dogs. if you have a hunting dog, this technique won’t matter to him.
I have a dog who’s nine years old and he’s always pulled on a leash. My dad has tried to use Ceasar’s method to end this behavior, but it never worked. I tried the method shown on this video and within 5 minutes, I was walking my dog with a loose leash!
choke collars can be dangerous for the dogs if the owners don’t know how to handle the choke collar. You will damage neckmuscle.
i tried that alot and she didnt react at all she just kept running and almost got run over D: im never doin that again it took longer to catch her
i have a minuture pincher and they are very small dogs and know to be very very hyper
My advice would be this- Do not chase your dog when it runs off. Chasing it makes it think this is a great fun game.
My dog is four years old. When she was a puppy she used to run off all the time until one day I decided i wasn’t going to chase her anymore, so what i did was, I turned my back on her instead and slowly walked in the opposite direction. This showed her that the game wasn’t happening anymore and she began to follow me.
It’s hard but it does work. My dog does not run off now.
Get an Invisible Fence! They really work. Be sure to get the real brand though because there are alot of them out there that are not as good.
cubemaster13 – if your dog escapes then practice this somewhere where it can’t get too far away and where it is safe. Practice in your garden/yard or an enclosed area like an empty tennis court.
You dont get the reason that I have a collar like this. I know and understand that I have an animal that has instincts to run after other animals whether they are trained or not this will happen. I have had regular collars fail and my dog is to important to me to have hit by a car or run up on another dog, because at 5 months old they havent reached adulthood and are less likely to run off at that young of an age. My dog again is well trained but it is an animal.
if you train the dog correctly there’s no reason for a choke collar. my neighbor is 13 years old and has taught his 5 month old pit bull to not run off, not bark at other dogs, be gentle with small children, not jump on people, he never barks when someone rings the doorbell, he even trained him to shake someones hand when they come in the door! (that was for fun but its cool) but my point is that if you do it correctly the training IS the choke collar (metaphorically speaking)
I use a choke collar and thats my dogs only collar. I dont choke my dog dont hit my dog I use it to gaurantee that she does not get away from me as she has done with basic collars. BAsic collers have even broke on me. I am a responsible dog owner that has a well trianed loving happy dog.
choke collars are terrible dude, why would you even suggest that?
get a choke coller. You dont have to choke your dog with it but it wont get away.
Then teach her not to run from you.
I tried this and my dog got mad and ran away and I had to chase her for 10mins
She’s a minuture pinscher and her head is small so she gets off of all the harnesses and collars I buy her please I really need help I’m getting tired of chasing her for over 10 mins she’s so fast! Anyone have any advice
This really worked! I tried it last night on my 7 month old Newfoundland. She’s 80lbs so I was very tired of her pulling while we were on a walk. She pretty much got it after 5 minutes! Thanks!
Thanks Eric! Our little Maltese was always in a hurry to be a step or four ahead on walks and would pull and pull. When we stop, he would heel but starting again, pull pull pull. After about 7 times of reversing directions, he got the idea that at my left side was the best place for him during movement. He was kinda’ pissed or frustrated the first couple of times but I think he thought it was him and not me and now he doesn’t choke himself, he seems happier, and I couldn’t be more proud. YAY!
