Secret dog training tip- teaching ‘back up’ for leash walking
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 ahead of you. Teaching them to back into the heel position allows you to move freely 2- If you train your dog that when he reaches the end of the leash the only way he can move forwards again is to back up, he will consciously start avoiding hitting the end of the leash. This means- No more pulling on leash. 3- This is a great impulse control exercise based on the Premack Principle. In order to move forwards you must first move backwards. —- Loose leash walking obedience without force how to train a dog without using punishment clicker training dog training walking in heel how to teach backing up on leash How to train a puppy to walk next to you .

@kikopup Thanks ur videos are realy awsome!
@Civicblabla no you don’t, you can use a world like “yes’ but a sound that always sounds the same is best. Some people make a clicking noise with their mouth. I clap for my dogs some times (like in the middle of a routine) however at other times it doesnt work as well, as you might need your hand to hold a lure etc… like in this video. You can use a ball point pen if it has a loud enough click to it.
@rwburnell However I don’t really mind that I do not speak properly, as neither did Shakespeare- he used the word “forwards” :)
SONNET 60
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
@rwburnell I actually struggle with language. So you will find lots of “misspellings” in my writing and videos. I have had trouble hearing and pronouncing words since I was a child. I still confuse curb, with “curve”,,, I am dyslexic as well. I will focus on making videos and enjoy the process rather than getting depressed looking for errors in my speech patterns. I have seen the word “forwards” in written English, but I do believe you are right… that I am misusing “proper” English
Do i have to have a “clicker” or cant i just clap my hands or some other clicking noise?
Thank you for your brilliant series of videos. I have two labradors who have recently arrived in Australia and were pulling on their leashes. Following your clicker training tips and slowly progressing to the back-up I have had two wonderful walks with my dogs Flynn and Pai this morning. It is really exciting to see how much they enjoy the walk and importantly the interaction with me. I am thrilled and highly motivated to continue with this wonderful method. Thank you for taking the time.
CORRECTION:
There is NO word “forwards” in English – neither spoken nor written. There is only “forward.” (Au contraire, “backwards” IS an optional term for “backward.”)
You are awesome! Thank you for the tip.
I really love that
Another helpful video! Thanks
My dog like to sit when I teach them to back up. Now I will try your trick.
Thanks you so much.
Thank you! I am going to try this.

Awesome video, thanks!
Very useful trick, made easy with this video!
i love this!!
cool vid!! how many dogs do you have?
Thank you SO much Emily !!
I got my dog to back up by walking towards her. But now we’re stuck, I can’t get her to back up without moving into her. :-(
AB FAB-LOVE these videos of yours, my shelter volunteer friends are using “yanking” and pulling and yanking more to teach them who is boss-at the instruction of the ACO’s! I am trying to convert slowly and your vids are so logical and stress free that I think it will help THank you so much.
Excellent! Easy when you know how. Thanks again. keep up the good work!
This is great thanx so much for your videos. I used to think that only some certine special dogs can be trained and that the rest are just not born with it. I got an 11 week old golden about a week and a half ago. I thought maybe I’ll try to teach him down. With in an hour he had it down. two days later I thought I’d try to teach him how to cross his paws (from watching your video) and even though it’s taking him a bit longer to get just right he is actually learning. Thanx for all your tips.
ADD AND SUB ME IF U LUV DOGS!!!!!!!
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! I am going to try this with my dogs.
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.
