This was great! I learned a lot! Casey’s delivery is so clear and her phrasing so nicely measured I was able to easily follow and learn. It was neat to see her model clear cues-both verbal and physical-that kept her dog engaged with calm and confidence-not confusion, stress or over-stimulation. How on earth does one become an expert in doggie toy play, I wonder? Extra-long toys, identical twin toys-these are not facets of toy selection I’d specially considered, but it all makes perfect sense. Thanks for putting this together! Yes, I’d like to learn more! E2W and Trip (Loved seeing Jake roll and play like a pup!) I do appreciate the emphasis on the importance of neck & shoulder-safe side-to-side tugging. Too many TH-camrs show that bouncy up & down tugging and it drives me nuts.
After commenting i saw Casey’s bio on your Ledr Dog website, including her credentials from Susan Friedman and other extensive experience and training, as well as yours, Laura. How one can become so expert and proficient in dog training so young continually astonishes me. These resources were just not available in the 60s and 70s tho. What a rich world it is now, with the incredible insights of Friedman, Laurence, Clothier and all to guide us.
This comment feels so true. I started looking around at dog training in the early 2000's and the field is so different even since then. While R+ was around for the public back then, it has a totally different flavor and refinement now.
I’ve been very fortunate to be exposed to these amazing minds right at the beginning of my career as part of my guide dog apprenticeships. Seminars with susan clothier, who also worked with the breeding program, Kay Lawrence, clicker expo. I was very lucky to get hooked early and find trainers that I was obsessed with learning from. It’s definitely an all-consuming obsession. 🤣
Can you make a video about preparing a service dog for college? I'm going to college next year and I'm bringing my service dog and I need to make sure that he is prepared before we go.
Hey Mobster Crow! I'll add it to the list (which is pretty long at this point lol!) But for now, think about what happens in a college setting (lots of people, long down-stays under your chair, sports games, etc.) and begin practicing for those events. The same things you'd do for regular public access, you'd want to do for college, with a larger emphasis on settling in class, working around rowdy crowds, and staying attentive to you around people trying to distract or pet your dog. Hope that helps!
Thank you!!! I have a huge dog so I think I will have to teach him how to origami fold himself to fit under desks and chairs. His legs are so long, he looks like a moose... I always joke about cutting his legs and tail off because he constantly slaps me with his tail and paws. He's a bit clumsy but I still love him. @@DoggyU
@@mobstercrow7515 I teach tucking for big dogs using a suitcase to teach them to get small and tuck their limbs in. Hope that helps! Hoping to do a video on this at some point, but the list is long of videos to do lol!
This is so fantastically helpful! I have been trying to parse out rules for playing with my new pup and this answered all the questions I had in mind. Thank you so much😊
i'm very new to dog training so this blew my mind. thank you so for this video! i literally just taught this to my 2 year old rescue we just foster failed and who has much more energy than i'm used to (our other 2 dogs are 15 and 12!). this dog loooooooves to run. i've been trying to find creative ways of tiring her out when i can't get to a dog park (i'm also trying to take her running more but i have to be careful as i injure easily due to an underlying medical issue. strangely, she appeared to show 0 interest in toys or just fetching a ball... but when i add some structure and throw commands into the mix, she zeros in!
Great video! Anyone know where to find that tug toy that looked like it had multiple long tails of fur? Can’t find it anywhere. I think my dog would really like that one!
Hey J! Not sure this is the exact one but pretty close. All the good tugs are from clean run :) www.cleanrun.com/product/chewbacca_sheepskin_chaser_dog_toy/index.cfm
I'm curious how you all feel about shaping the dogs' tug mechanics. I this video there is some discussion about the human mechanics (back and forth, not up and down). But what if the dog doesn't want to pull back continually like this dog does?
I'm sure there are lots of ways a dog might respond that's different from this dog. Mine, in particular, shakes vigorously. I worry she might hurt herself. I'm not looking for specific advice, though, just some general thoughts on how to get the dog tugging in a way that works for both the handler and the dog.
So some dogs will never think tug is that fun, but I watched a fascinating seminar at clicker expo in march where Hannah brannigan shaped tug with, I think, a hound and it was really really cool the way she did it. I believe she started with shaping pulling a tissue out her hand. She might have a course on it!
Sweet bark, if you’re interested in shaping a retrieve, check out my Patreon Deep Dive series on shaping the retrieve. I’ve trained many non-retriever breeds to retrieve and lay it out over on Patreon with 2 of the 3 lives on there. Third one is coming up in September :) Patreon.com/doggyu

@@DoggyU Way to go. You’re living my dream.
This is adorable to watch! I hope I can apply this when I train my first dog.

Thanks for the video. ❤ The toys are interesting. I liked the balls.
My puppy loves the tug of war.
