I'm so glad you find my videos helpful! Thank you for your kind comments 😊

Thank you! I try my best to give all the advice I can as a dog trainer! My goal is to get everyone to have a good relationship with their dogs whether it be competition wise or as pets!

Best of luck! Looking forward to having him in my puppy class!

Perfect! This is one of those tricks that I tell my clients to just do during commercial breaks, and as long as you practice it a little bit each day you will see results really quickly!

That's so good to hear! This is one of those tricks that makes training fun for puppies especially, and makes doing the more difficult stuff a lot easier since they already have that positive association with training!

Before teaching anything too difficult, I would definitely focus on attention games, like teaching attention and the touch game both of which I have videos on my channel! Obviously heel is also important, but it's much easier if your dog has that groundwork already set for focusing on you, because then you don't have to constantly deal with the dog who is always distracted! Shelter dogs are definitely difficult, my first dog was a rescue who was in a shelter for 3 years, and they do get some baggage with that, but if you are diligent with your boundaries, and make training fun they will want to work with you! Best of luck! If you have any more questions, or need any videos for how to train something, feel free to leave them in the comments and I will do my best to help!

When training it is best to teach foundations separately and set boundaries separate as well, once the dogs both are in a place where you are happy, you can start introducing training sessions in which both are involved! Just remember that you can have different boundaries for each dog, and each dog can be in a different place training wise and as long as you maintain your boundaries you have set with each of the dogs, they wont negatively impact each other!

Yup, first teach super basics separately

I hav a senior dog and a puppy together and its hard to train at same time

@@brandidick8012 I can imagine XP. I like training with house lines, (McCann dogs, another excellent TH-cam channel with tons of high quality teaching tutorials) and that can help with managing basics initially

I totally understand that, my other two dogs Gunner and Buddy are both senior dogs, and Amo, The dog featured in my video is not even 2 years old yet, but just remember to be patient and understanding and also let your older dog set boundaries with your young dog!

Thank you!

It has been really nice, obviously with a border collie this collar is heavier, which is something I should have anticipated but didn't, but it is extremely durable. However for sports I avoid using it because of how heavy it is, but it's my favorite for photos!

@@DanaAndDogs Thank you so much for the reply and info! i'll probably give it a go and see how it works for my pup as durability is something I was looking for as she chews on her stuff :')

I believe it is the 1.5 in wide one, I don't know the sizing but you can use a measuring tape and go on the website to see which works best! Its definitely not going to break lol, but just not made for what i was intending to use it for lol i have not bought any of their dog hoodies, so i dont have much info on that, all of my dogs are fine with wearing clothes lol, but only Gunner really needs them in the winter, both the border collies are very Happy with winter temperatures 😂

I completely agree! If a dog feels like they are trapped they should have every right to enforce their personal space, and mose bites happen when a dog feels that is the only way to enforce it! When a dog approaches a crated dog, or a leashed dog, it is not aggression when that dog defends itself, or enforces its space. But that dog always ends up being labeled as the aggressor, which is sad. Also, i am so glad you enjoy my videos! It's always nice to hear that people enjoy hearing what i have to say 😊

❤❤❤

Yes I completely agree! This video like I said was really based off of the speech I gave to third graders lol, so the no touch no talk no eye contact saying is something I felt like they wouldn't understand, however I do have more parts to what I did give as a speech to kids, and one part I plan on recording in the future is how to understand when a dog wants its space respected. I split the speech into parts, just because I felt like it would be too long of a video lol, but I did miss some stuff. My main goal is to empathize with the " pet people" because I do understand that in the way they work is they see a cute happy dog and want to say hi to it, because in their world that means the dog also wants to say hi to them. Not everyone is a dog trainer, and that is okay or else I'd be out of a job lol, so this video is also kind of finding that middle ground, but in reality yes I would prefer if no one would want to pet my dog when I'm in public 😂

@@DanaAndDogsO that makes sense, I didn’t realize it was targeted toward children but it was also very good for adults (not much difference lol). I take my 140 pound fluffy white well mannered Great Pyrenees out in public every day so you can imagine what I experience. You do a better job than me at being diplomatic but I am much older than you and I’ve been watching this disaster for decades. The way I look at it if 95% of the people don’t know how to meet a dog and we’re killing millions of dogs and many tens of millions live stressed, frustrated miserable lives (I’m a dog trainer also) why doesn’t it ever get any better?

At the end of the day i believe it's because of the media which is not knowledgeable in dogs, but are quick to get a story, and then obviously the irresponsible owners with dogs that shouldn't be loose that makes bad names for a breed (or in 'pitbulls' case, a generalization for an appearance of dogs). It's always difficult having a dog that doesn't fall into the "scary dog" category, like great pyrenees, when a person sees them they just see a cute fluffy dog, not a dog that was literally bred to be an independent guardian.

I have so many stories of when i used to bring my border collies to public areas how people would literally run from one end of the store to try to pet my dogs, only for me to tell them no. It was almost comical getting those reactions from people who are older than me. Thankfully now with my jobs and being part of kennel clubs i no longer need to bring my dogs to oet friendly stores to expose them to different environments. Still at kennel clubs i have had a few negative interactions (one being where a lady went behind me while someone was asking me a question about training and started giving my bc puppy large hard treats. When i told her to stop and that my dog was sensitive to treats, she got upset with me lol. I ended up spending the night awake with a puking puppy, thankfully she's fine, but that was beyond upsetting.)

Yep the ignorance comes with arrogance. I recently posted a TH-cam titled “please! Don’t talk to my dog” and it got 500 comments 80% idiotic of course and mostly telling me to leave my dog at home if I don’t like random strangers passing by trying to get my calm dog excited with the high pitched squeaky voice. Like that’s not thoughtless and rude(not to mention improper for the dog) and I’m the asshole.

My favorite instance of this, is when I was training my rescue Gunner, In a pet friendly store with a do not pet vest on. A parent encouraged their child to pet my dog after seeing the do not pet vest on, and then I had to be the bad guy and say no my dog is not available to be pet lol

Im so happy you think so!

I'm glad this video was helpful! My main issue is still the placement of where the handle is, with the hardware being so heavy, but yes this collar will last me forever, so it really just an aesthetic vs functionality thing for me😂

Sometimes teaching stand first is easier! I have a video on my channel that gives some different methods on how to teach stand first, before trying to teach back up! Amo already knows back up, but starting off it was a very similar situation, it just takes some persistence and patience, dont give up!😊

@DanaAndDogs My dog halfly knows standing. If it's non-pressure situation it usually follows stand command but if it really wants something (like treat), it usually tries to please me by sitting or even laying down when I try to get it to stand 😅😂 I guess I need to keep practising that too.

I completely agree and understand! I am in the process of saving up for a mic that will clip on to my clothes, all the background noise is unavoidable, due to it being at my kennel club (they have a refrigerator, vending machine, and a loud furnace) but in the future my audio will hopefully be higher quality! I am glad you can appreciate my training even though the production isn't the highest quality right now!

So glad to hear you found this video helpful!

I really appreciate your feedback! I will try to start doing that in the future!

I completely agree 💖
