Daniel Steven's Dog Obedience Training  STOP Your Dog's Behavior Problems!

This is another cool Dogmantics Dog Training Tip on how to teach your dog to walk next to you on a loose leash. If you are consistent with this behavior, you can actually make pressure on the leash a CUE for the dog to back up and they learn to walk on a loose leash as a default. =—- Teaching a dog to back up into the heel position on walks is helpful for many reasons. 1- If you have more than one dog on a walk sometimes it can be hard to turn around and go the other way if both dogs are …

    Thanks for the great tips! I followed one of your other loose leash walking videos, and it worked great. I noticed my dog already starting to automatically back up if the leash started to tighten. When he gets himself back in proper position now, he touches my knee with his nose. I hadn’t thought about putting it on a que.

    Thanks for another great video! The only way I could get Berri to back up was to shape it, he simply wouldn’t move back with a lure. Now that he knows the general movement I can try luring him to get him to back up while at heel (as opposed to directly in front of me only). What a great application though.

    wow I can’t wait to try this with my pup, we just got ‘go forward’ on the leash down ( she was a little unsure what to do, but we’re getting there) now I have to teach her this so she’s not pulling when she decides that going forward is awesome. LOL

    Awesome! This is great not only for walking…but I’ve been having trouble with backing up in obedience heel, this helps! Thanks Emily!

    Fantastic video and fantastic idea. When Desperado loses focus and starts to walk out front I stop until he resets himself at my side. Before he would have to do a finish to my right of left, but I think now I’ll teach him to back up since that will take less room in a cramped space.

    ooo, need to try. At the moment Mi either sits when I stop moving forward, or does a little spin back into heel position.

    Kiko is such a beautiful pup! I did get my rescue Chihuahua 1/31/09. About all she wants to do is sleep. That’s OK with my migraines. We just lie around together. She is so so sweet!

    You are awesome! What if your dog is really “independent” like a terrier and listens only when he wants to.
