I love training my girl Valentine, I've got such a strong bond because of the time I spend with her. A lot of people say, a German shepherd that'll take a lot of walking. I always answer with no because if you spend time properly playing and training one on one, then you don't have to walk for miles. I'm disabled and therefore can't walk very far, my husband does the long walks, but she's more tired and satisfied when we do my routine. I see people walking their dogs 3-4 times a day, until the dog does the toilet then it's back home, and I always think, how much of your time are you actually spending with your dog? The coup de gras is they're out with the dog on an extending lead, head stuck in their mobile, on a main road! We should cherish the short time we get the privilege to own a dog. Great video xx
Yes, I have a bad ankle, so I don't walk miles. I walk for 30 mins, thats all I can do at a time. So we go on slow sniffing walks too, and sitting at the park together just chilling, and also training games etc.
@@kikopup I don't like not being able to walk as far as I used to but the wee look on her face when she learns something new makes up for it. She's 9 and still learning, we love it! Sorry to hear about your ankle but at least you're making the best of your situation, it really doesn't take much to stimulate your dog and keep them happy. Especially with the videos you post! They're much appreciated xx
You are so right: be proactive. A core behavior for handlers. Thanks!
Awesome video, I think I am going to paint TRIP on my walls to train me really well. Train, Reinforce, Interrupt, Prevent. Thanks for sharing this great tip. I think I may add a few more PPPPP's, for progressive, patient, peaceful persistence as reminders for us humans to never give up no matter how tired/sick or fed up we get, you are right it pays off, takes time but so worth it. My Service Dog still has trouble walking, still a pup in training so I use a body and head harness for fine-tuning her behaviors and then do it without it. Every day is different but the TRIP is in effect, we actually made it to the lab for a blood draw for me, only popped her head once to touch the technician but stopped after that and was fine the whole rest of the time, then she trained all her play/work skills in the open yard with no leash, then she stared at me refused to listen and bopped me in the hand really hard, so I bopped her back with the tennis ball - lol(she is a very bull-headed Aussie/border cross- sweet but can be that bully ;), she loves to test me, we are getting there, I train her and she trains me. Thank you, Emily, your leash training program works and every dog is different and not a robot. Keep sharing = caring, blessings.
I've watched this several times and get something helpful each time, but what really hits me each time is the "do this, not that" and filling in what to do in a circumstance that is not the undesirable thing. My dog (8.5 mth old puppy) and cat (5 year old) like to play together, but it gets a bit rough and the pup sometimes disturbs the cat. Now, the cat often starts the play so it is not all puppy! At any rate, I am working on teaching both of them and this video gave me several new ideas. Thank you always!!
Thats awesome! Seriously even when people pay me money for advice, they still wont listen to me when they say they also need to train their cat, their child, or other family members and not just the dog! Lol :)
I just love this!! I have shared it with several clients already. You explain things so clearly. Thank you for doing this video!!
So clearly and concisely explained - thank you, Emily! Will definitely check out your online store/join button/etc.
Thanks Emily. Very concise and very doable as well.
You make things so easy to understand. What you teach makes so much sense. Thank you! Ann
GREAT CONCISE VIDEO! Have forwarded to my clients! Thanks Emily.
Great advice! Thanks for the video Emily
Soooooooo good tips! Thank you!
Thanks, great job 👍🏽
Thanks!!!
Thanks for great advice! No doubt i will think on this!
You'll be "tripping" on dog training :)
Love your lessons. 😍
Thanks!
Great videos! helped me a lot! LOVE THEM!!!!
Also could you please make a video about separation anxiety issues with dogs? mine has just moved to a new country with me for a month and since then he has been barking every time I leave my apartment. Don't know what to do now.........
If you email me I can send you some info... (email me at dogmanticsstore@gmail.com) but I believe Marlena does online stuff for sep anx - malenademartini.com/
Hi Emily, I love watching your videos. I like you philosophy and approach to training. I am currently helping train my daughter's german shepherd who is a good dog, but has several unwanted behaviours. I will be using your methods, but would appreciate some specific feedback. Would I be able to email you a video of Kai and you can give me some advice. I am happy to pay you for your time. Thank you.
Very good. I've got a young dog from the Pound, approx 10 months, had her almost 1 week. Still a bit insecure and unsure. But she loves cuddles! Her only issue is she sometimes blocks my older dog (she licks his face as well). She sorta curls in front of him so he can't move.
So I could interrupt her behaviour when she does this? I am looking at bringing a trainer in to help me with this.
Hi Emily, I really appreciate the tips you give us in your free videos! Thank you so much for that! I have a very special question and hope that maybe you could help me : Since I am physically disabled , my four year old border collie serves me as an assistant in everyday life. He picks up all kinds of things for me from the ground and helps me in many other ways. Since I am living alone, I would like to teach him to go for help in case I am not able to move. I was thinking about some device (some sign or object,) that he could pick up and take to any person outside. He could drop it in front of the person and pull the attention of the person to the object. When the person picks up the object and reads the sign...........my dog should lead the person to me. This sounds very Lassie-like............I know.................do you think I could teach him a complex challenge like this? He can already open doors but the rest of the "exercise" ( for outdoor practice) should be broken down to parts, so he could learn the whole procedure. Could you make a video on this topic or give some helpful tips about this complex approach? Many thanks in advance and greetings from Germany!
The only problem I have with this and it’s not really a slight on the principles just a problem I have is when you DO get your dog to cease the unwanted behaviour and do the wanted behaviour I’ve found my dog goes back to the unwanted behaviour shortly after.
So for example. My puppy will chew on my oxygen cylinder. I’d say “leave it” and she’d back up a few steps, sit and look to me. I’d praise her or reward her for leaving it but then a minute later she’s back to chewing on it.
I suppose in this example I didn’t tell her to do anything after the leave it so she chose that again.
I’m wary of initiating a play session or training session as that can lead to her biting on it to get attention.
I’m gonna try and teach ‘go to place’ I guess that would be a better fit than leave it but ideally I’d want her to leave it for good
Hi! I really appreciate your videos and have a quick question; I know that the cue can quickly turn into a secondary reinforcement (the dog loves to hear the cue), and if I interrupt the dog’s behavior with a cue, which the dog loves, followed by a treat, won’t I be encouraging the dog to do this behavior just so that the secondary and primary reinforcement (plus my attention) can happen?
Love! I am having a bit of a problem however. When I come into a room with my Aussie, she sees everyone there, no problem. But if someone new walks in, she starts barking at them or another dog is I. The room and gets up or walks toward me (guarding behavior). Ok so, Interrupt & Prevent side. List the triggers: someone walking into the room or dog moving. Everything else makes perfect sense. Replace the unwanted behavior with one that you want. I have her back up, sit or go to a spot, bed, or climb. She will go, but she does not stop barking the whole time. Treat, high value treat... she will take it but doesn’t stop. This happens in public places as well as at home. Thoughts? Ideas? Most any unwanted behavior I can fix with this method. I am failing miserably with this behavior though!
What you say, really makes sense!....................BUT!! :-o................When my crazy little bordercollie sees skaters or rollerblading kids, he completely freaks out! I really dont know how to teach him a behavior "instead" apart from just enduring the sight of it. He will be so alarmed, that no word of me will reach his mind even when the skater just showed up at the horizon!. All I can do is just pull him aside as far as I can..... and there is no progress in learning to cope with the situation. I'm pretty frustrated!
Skaters and kids come and go when we are outside and I cannot controll them. So I just dont know how to make a training plan for my dog with so many uncontrollable factors.
I bought a skate especially for him................he drives it himself with his front paws on :-).................but when a kid drives along....he will explode as usual. So it seems that its not the skate itself, but the movements of the drivers, as they aproach and pass by.
Couldn't you make a video on that problem? Maybe you have a REALLY freaky little dog like mine at hand to show us that it can be done!!!!! PLEASE!!!
Go look at CARE for reactive dogs on good. Your dog is over threshold and can't focus. You need to work at a distance and then build from there. You also can teach your dog to look at you when he sees skaters or rollerbladers

Emily has a membership program "Weekly Puppy Insights'. Week 3 'Zoom, zoom, zoom' completely covers the problem you have with your companion. The main character in this program is a border collie. Adult dogs will profit from this program as well as puppies.
I dont have a video on that online. But what I suggest to do (which I didnt say in this video- is break the training up into steps) For fear reactivity and aggression I suggest setting up training sessions to work on the issue rather than training in everyday life... As what can happen is what happened to you- things are unpredicable so your dog can stay the same or go backward in training... and it can be stressful and frustrating. Teaching your dog to skate is a good first step. But most liekly your dog is not just reactiing to the object, but also the sound and sight, so youve worked on the object and the sound of it... But now you have to address the trigger of the sight of it in training sessions- iin this video its a different story- the dog wants to lung and bark at a broom. But if you watch the video you can see that I didnt just move a broom or vacuum. I went in such small steps the dog didnt see it was the same 'picture'... and built it in small progressions so the dog finally was seeing the "picture" that he used to react to. It seems slower a process, but what happens is the dog is less stressed so the learning is more powerful. And less room for setbacks. th-cam.com/video/zlZmJlllP7Y/w-d-xo.html I suggest first step getting a family member to slowly skate back and forth infront of you, have them stop when your dog looks to excited. Then progress to faster as your dog succeeds. It will take at least 4 sessions, of 10 mins to see change- as your dog is so sensitized to the trigger.
thank you so much for your comments! Your public work is so helpful for the humans and so beneficial for the dogs!!! I myself was raised with methods of violence and intimidation..............so thats what I am used to................but I'm so glad to learn about non-violent ways!!!
I have a 4-month-old lab, I've been training the kissy noise and she does it when there is no distraction or when chewing some low-value toys but when she is chewing the walls corner or the chair there's no way she will stop no matter the noise I make unless I remove the object... any advice? I don't like putting her on the play pen all the time :(
As a young puppy I could reliably walk my dog off leash. Now that he's 7 mo the, he lags behind doing g his own thing and barely keeping up. What can I do?
What's your take on shock collars?
Lagging actually can happen with punishment. Even compulsion trainers would agree to build drive and interest in you use reinforcement like toys etc. but this sounds like something’s wrong. Id get the vet to run a blood panel if the pup is lethargic and not active, it could be pain or illness related. For now shorten your walks and begin by using some high value treats as you step out the door to reinforce being with you.
Madam,
How can I teach a dog to bark ? I am growing a gaurd dog and that doesn't barks.How can I train it to bark ?
Lol. That is typical :) Everyone who doesnt want their dog to bark gets a barking dog. And people who want their dog to bark dont. I suggest teaching your dog to bark by playing keep away from a toy and then pairing that cue with people he likes approaching the area you want him to bark toward, so he barks at whoever approaches (but they dont know hes friendly).
How much time everyday should you ideally spend doing one on one training with your dog in a realistic world of work, family, chores & rest? Thanks
1-2 mins a day if you have an issue you need to work on. Short training session before or after the walk. You could even stop somewhere along the walk and do a 30 second lesson if your dog is not stressed outside.
I have a golden retriever in therapy dog traning, but he is way to reactive (playful) towards other dogs. At that point all training goes out the window, very frustrating. He is 18 months old. Very good dog otherwise.
My rottie would keep walking away sniffing and ignoring me but he's only 7 months.cannot get him to stop eating pieces of acorns.
I have a video on default leave if from stuff on walks th-cam.com/video/PLuKnrVYmQs/w-d-xo.html
My dog never comes in the house when I call her
Does she come for dinner? If so, the second before you start making her dinner, cue her to come, then give her her dinner. Thats one tip. The "prevention" is that you are not going to call her in the house at the moment, because you know she wont come. Instead, go to her where she is, show her a treat and lure her in the direction you want her to go. I also suggest working on the recall where shes a few feet from you first so she can succeed before adding distance, and also when she might be laying and resting. Something has made the recall no longer reinforcing- that is why shes not doing it. So dont do anything to her she doesnt like after calling her, for example putting her in a pen, cutting her nails, giving meds. And start to give her a treat or something she really likes every time she does come for the moment to build back the reinforcement value of the cue.
