Dog Training Tip- Leash Walking: Go Sniff and Marking
 |
This exercise is great for dogs who are constantly crossing in front of their owners on walks to try to reach something to sniff. This video is also good for owners who have dogs who blow them off when they leave the house. By controlling access to real life rewards you can build your importance to your dog when outside of the house. Walks should not only be about exercise for dogs but about mental stimulation. During a walk you can give your dog permission to go sniff so that they can …
lirl, my dog knows “let’s go” very well, so when you said it in the video she looked at me with her ears perked like, “we’re goin’ somewhere? where we goin’? you gettin’ up? hello-oo?”
another great thing about the “go sniff” reward is that they eventually get bored of sniffing, and would rather walk instead.
Woah…. You have an easy to train search dog.
how do you teach the dog go sniff??? And pea on command??
Excellent walking video, thank you
5*s! Excellent tutorial, Emily!
You had mentioned this to me a while ago, so I’ve been using the method for more than a year now, and it works splendidly. I even use it on my friends dog, since he’s used to her letting him mark anytime he likes, and he’s totally cool with the tug and a ‘let’s go!’. I don’t think it’s polite to let a dog relieve themselves on peoples plants, lawns, or on public sidewalks. Mi is completely cool with waiting until we get to the park. thanks Em.
It is just a back harness that I have clipped to the O ring at the front, you can see a better shot of it in the Loose Leash Walking Equipment tips video, at some point I show it off.
you still should!
The more tutorials on humane dog training out there the BETTER! 
Could you please tell me what kind of harness your lovely dog is wearing in this video? Thanks very much.
good video!!!
Good stuff! I was going to touch on this in my next video
good job
As always a great help. Thank you.
very well done as always
Great video! I will try this out with my dog.
Amazing video!!
thank you!
Awesome. I need this for Kai, because she crosses over me to go sniff people and dogs that we pass on our walks. It’s an issue, and she’s ALOT stronger now, so it’s harder to keep her in a heel(normally I don’t have to restrain her and she heels, but when someone comes by, she pulls and I have to hold her back).
great information as always. I have used this kind of idea with Holly a lot because she just wants to sniff at everything when she is out. your videos are such a huge help
This is gold, Jerry, GOLD !!!!!
Well for my dogs, they can sniff as much as they like as long as the leash is loose, but the times that we reach a field I will follow them around for a couple of minutes so they can get mentally tired out by checking out the whole area.
hey kikopup! great video as usual!
I have a question,your dogs only get to sniff around if you say “go to sniff” ?
great i love ur videos u giv such gd advise please make another soon x
