Animal Planet phoned 6/18/07 and asked me to make a 5-minute audition video so they could consider me as a host for their new dog training TV series called Pet Finder. I didn’t get the job, but I got this great little video, which you can also see on my website: www.DogDancer.com . Enjoy! Martia Nelson, Hot Diggity Dog Dancing & Obedience Training.

There’s no need to be rude. hotdiggity was nice enough to share this video with us.
The Gentle Leader is a training “tool” to teach dogs not to pull on leash. It can aid in helping the dog to sit. But as you can see in the video, she still has to train Estella by luring her with treats. The GL just aids in the training.
No, GLs can’t force anything, any more than a leash attached to a collar can. GL’s prevent pressure on a dog’s throat (so no gagging if a dog pulls). Same principle as a halter on a horse. If the dog pulls, turning the dog’s nose is easier on both person and dog than pulling on the dog’s neck. As you could see, it was my focus with Stella, voice feedback, and use of food as a lure and reward that molded her walking well on leash. I think GLs are lovely as long as no hard corrections are used.
But GLs force a dog, they don’t train. It’s much like pushing a dog’s butt down after you tell him to sit. The dog isn’t trained, he just forced to sit. Prhaps that’s why you didn’t get the job.
Of course, there are many ways to teach a dog.
So, can we try that walk without a gentle leader?
Fabulously fun video!
Sending love, Jan
