is this dog training or human training?
My dog isn’t …
My dog isn’t interested in the food unless it is right in front of his face… I try to get his attention but he is more interested in walking, cars, grass etc but if the food is put in front of him he goes straight for it but if I pull away or hold it above him he will just ignore me.. I’m really get frustrated because he never does as he is told when I walk him but inside the house he always does what he is told..

well i tried that before . he gets really off that he just sit there or he barks at you
My dog is the same …
My dog is the same way. We started with getting her not to pull on the leash by bumping her on the chest when she gets too far forward with my foot and use the command “hey”. I will also do speed changes as well as stop and go alot. I’ve also taught her “back up” with this method. If she really isn’t listening on the walk, i will use my knee and give her a hip check…. it gets her attention on me and breaks her focus on whatever else she was looking at. good luck
@cynthy123 if a dog …
@cynthy123 if a dog is to focused on the food it is generally because the owner hasn’t learned about “variable-ratio schedule” this means you don’t treat the dog every time he sits, after they learn sit you mix it up, maybe after every 4th sit you give a treat, or after 10 sits you can treat think of a slot machine they don’t pay every time you pull the handle, but they pay out enough every now and then to keep you pulling that handle… it makes you more interesting if you are not predictable.

1. Get …
@cynthy123
1. Get a front clip harness – this changes the area of pressure on the dog & can calm them down,
2. STOP WALKING when the dog is pulling you, as the front clip harness helps bring the dogs shoulders back towards you give the dog a cue – I say “off the lead” meaning I want a loose lead.
3. once the lead has some slack again, begin to walk in the opposite direction and say “let’s go”
Repeat when the dog pulls – even if you only get to take one step in each direction at first.
@cynthy123 turn …
@cynthy123 turn around and go the other way when he starts to pull you. Static training collar is good for when they arent wanting food

My German Shepherd also thinks that the game is to try to bite my hand off for the treat when I try to train like this. I’m having a heck of a time training her to heel. She know’s how to do it, she just refuses.

@LIUtenant: Try getting a head collar named Gentle Leader. Other head collrs might not work as well. My Pit Bull pulled excessively and stopped as soon as I got him using it. To get them to use it, you sohuld just put the nose part on and treat them with very special treats in the house. The next day, maybe clip it on. and treat. The next day, go for a walk with it. I used that to start to teach heel and now I can walk him on a Sensation Harness without him pulling.
