“Long winded review and a question at the end;) I’ve been watching your videos and listening to your podcast for years. This review is long overdue :) It’s honestly something very special to watch someone practice their craft and follow their passion. You’re a master communicator with canines and humans and the way you bridge the gap between them is unmatched. You have this undeniable (& inherent) talent and skill to handle dogs and to teach humans. Such a wonderful combination of confidence, humility, charisma, empathy and emotional intelligence 👏You had helped with my dobermans leash reactivity and helped me better understand canine behaviour overall. I’ve found a love and personal interest in dog training because of you. I hadn’t heard of balances dog training until you and it makes complete sense - a system of rewards and consequence. Leadership, structure, accountability and fairness. We now have a Great Dane poodle mix and I’m using your Kickstarter Course to start our boy off right. I love the Burleigh videos. So helpful. THANK You. For all that you do <3 you’re making a difference in this world …I think a TedTalk could be in your future!
QUESTION: I’m currently working on loose leash walking with our 4.5 month old puppy (Dane/Poodle) My initial plan was to have two separate commands for loose leash walking ( on left side can be ahead of me but not pulling )and then a heel ( at my left side loose leash not ahead of me) My Question- How do I clearly differentiate to the puppy the difference between heel and a loose leash walk? Is this reasonable or logical to do? Or should it be more binary either you’re in a heel or on a “break” command What are your thoughts? Also. Slip lead, prong and corrections - do you still correct a puppy at this age with gentle leash pops? What age can we use prong ? We have 2.25mm Hermsprenger from when our Dobie was around.”
