Скачать или смотреть How to be the Pack Leader: The Secret of the Structured Walk

Is there a difference between walking a dog and training a dog? My wife recently asked me why I only post videos of me walking—and my answer changed her perspective on everything.

In this video, I explain why the 'Structured Walk' is the ultimate training tool. For me, walking a dog is 95% about guidance and 5% about movement. When a dog walks beside or behind you, they aren't just behaving—they are trusting you to be the Pack Leader.

Many behavior issues like barking, lunging, and anxiety stem from the dog feeling they have to lead the pack. When you take over that responsibility, the dog finally feels free to just 'be a dog.'

Key topics I cover in this video:

The 95% Rule: Why my dogs almost never walk in front of me.

Building the Bond: Why exploring together is the best way to connect with your pup.

The Stress of Leading: Why dogs get anxious when they think they are in charge.

Pack Hierarchy: Understanding the natural roles dogs take within a group.

If your dog is constantly pulling or reacting on the leash in NYC, it’s time to switch from 'walking mode' to 'training mode.' Let’s show your dog that you’ve got this!
