Been trying to get here with my dog, but he can't pay attention to anything for more than 15 seconds. Congrats to you. :3

Dogs will do anything you want if they can figure out what it is.

Look at that look he gave you. Just.. ugh. So damn adorable. He knows he’s a good boy. God damn I want a dog...@RetroHomeslice

I was kind of expecting first off-leash hare sighting.
carrotsonfire
If only my dogs were as good. I'm training one of them not to pull on the lead, but they still can't help but chase runners and cyclists.
MamaJeaux
You should be! We all are! Good boi!
PupperPotato
Congrats on the training
hemingwaythegsd
Thank you! It may not seem like that big a deal but to me this is huge!
ViktorDrasix
I wanna know how. I would love to do this with Thor.

I tried to go for a walk with my kids recently, but my dog saw us and decided she was coming too. Walked out the gate and across the street,
LadyWidebottom
And she just walked alongside us without a leash. Had to take her back home because we were going on the train, but she was so good.
Messingwithyou
Lure with and give bits of food. As long as the dog is food driven,it will work. If they are ball/toy driven, use that

My dog knows Left and Right- I shout directions when we’re walking in the woods. I know PEOPLE that don’t know Left and Right...
johnwill1480
Keep going. Give him more to learn and a task. They need it trust me
hemingwaythegsd
Believe me this is only one small aspect of his training! He's learning every day
johnwill1480
He looks very healthy and well taken care of. Nice coat and weight. Makes me happy to see that. Keep up the good work
CptKoekie
Very Nice doggo you got there
tasan
Excellently trained pup!!!
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Wait until the first squirrel.
hemingwaythegsd
We haven't seen squirrels yet but he's seen lots of birds and is actually leashed 95% of the time
oakleaves
Taught my guy the same way. Squirrels, deer, birds, or other dogs, he sticks close unless released.
LadyLongToes
My dogs collar fell off once, she looked at it, looked at me, and bolted. It took me a mile of trying tactics to finally get her.
princesstigerliciaface
oh noes
hemingwaythegsd
That's scary! If her collar falls off easily maybe have a harness with tags on it for double security? Or a stronger collar
LadyLongToes
It was 100% user error. It was our first stroll with the baby and I wasn’t paying close enough attention. Now I check everything.
IStoleALoafOfBread
what a well trained pupper!
Elmhafudd
Really hope you're in an off leash area. People that have their dogs off leash on the street are assholes
hemingwaythegsd
He was off-leash only for the video. I just wanted to see if he needed the leash to stay in position. It was a large open area with no ppl
Derginsdrogalot
A hecking good doggo!
Donatello34
Do Not Boop? I’m doing it anyways @OP
hemingwaythegsd
No pets only boops
Donatello34
Brilliant! Fully supported!
MartynMage
Nice work, @OP! Are you going to train him to sit when you stop? Or stand and wait?
hemingwaythegsd
I am not enforcing an automatic sit with him as I prefer he sits just when I tell him to, but sometimes he does it automatically
MartynMage
Cool! What's the next thing you're looking to train him in? (Other than reinforcing heel)
NashvilleNative
I always get sad when I see those training vest, but I know they're necessary for training. Malinois?
hemingwaythegsd
German Shepherd!
NashvilleNative
Ah, which now makes sense given your username lol. Gorgeous pup!
Naariel
Wow great job! I'm teaching my 8 month BC to heel too! the moment she doesn't see a treat in my hand she runs ahead. We're working on it.
hemingwaythegsd
I've started to hold my treat hand behind my back so he doesn't associate seeing the treat with behaving, if that helps.
TheLeastICouldDo
Taught a severely abused chi mutt to be off leash at all times. Until I made the mistake of going to the bathroom without her
ASMRuVeganYet
Aw, did they run away? How is chi doing?
TheLeastICouldDo
Ex stole her in the divorce then neglected her
johnwill1480
Got damn. How’s the training going now?
ASMRuVeganYet
Aw, so sad to see pups that are developed poorly. They are so impressionable when they are young. Chin up, good on you for trying, mate.
cynicatt
That's a seriously long crap, you should probably see a doctor.
naikiCandySmuggler
that is an extra special good dog! He keeps looking at you, he listens!
hemingwaythegsd
I've worked so hard for him to look at me it made me so happy when he just did it without a cue
psychrock71
Excellent, now for Level 2 (the squirrel test)
hemingwaythegsd
I have a bird so that might have to work instead. There don't seem to be lots of squirrels here
psychrock71
Yippy dog, passing cat, whatever it is I'm betting your dog will handle it. Nice work!

Why no petting? If i may ask
Pwnzistor
I'm thinking because its really bad for service dogs to be distracted while working.
imgoingtoreadyourusernameandtheresnothingyoucandoaboutit
Plus if its service training, service dogs aren't supposed to be pet while wearing their best because it's a distraction and they need to
imgoingtoreadyourusernameandtheresnothingyoucandoaboutit
Attend to the medical needs of their handler at a moment's notice
bmjflow
The Do Not Pet vest supports your hypothesis.
Ghostshenanigans
I understand that, i would never pet a service animal or support animal while its on the job, i was just curious about her pup :)
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
The front patch appears to say 'training' so in a way this dog is 'on the job', or eventually will be.
imgoingtoreadyourusernameandtheresnothingyoucandoaboutit
I would guess it's a 'practice how you play' type of thing
hemingwaythegsd
The video stopped right before I gave him a treat! And I don't usually pet him while we are in motion
derfred
Pretty sure he was wondering about the vest, not your behavior ^^
hemingwaythegsd
I replied to them again!
Ghostshenanigans
Haha i get that, but i meant on his vest it says no petting, was curious as to why, is he a support animal or K9 pup in training?
monadi
Dogs in training and just support animals in general should not be pet. It can distract from their super important job. They are working...
monadi
Not to be disturbed! It's hard because I love every single dog and want to pet them all but they're for their assigned human, not me.
CloseupCaptionReaction
I love dogs, I love every kind of dog, and I want to pet them all, but i can't, can't pet every dog.
hemingwaythegsd
Oh! I misread that! I have the patches on because I'm working on his handler focus right now and don't want other people distracting him
Kunitsu
I need to consider doing that, I like to take my big girl to the park to get used to being around other dogs and people and too many want to
Kunitsu
bother her regardless of how many times I say she's training please dont distract her
Ghostshenanigans
Gotcha, that makes a lot of sense, thank you for explaining it :)
