Stop Your Dog’s Unwanted Behaviors With This Positive Interrupter

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2022
  • If you took an obedience class back in the 80s, you could have learned to say things like AH-AH, NO, and HEY to stop your dog from doing something. And if you learned that that recently or find those old habits still with you, I’ve got something to help! Those short sharp words spoken harshly will startle dogs and stop a behavior, but they will also create stress and anxiety for a dog. Instead, we can teach words or sounds that will interrupt our dogs and let them know what we want them to do.
    In the episode you'll hear:
    • About the judgement we put on dogs when we use harsh words to stop behavior.
    • The way to condition a new cue to use as a positive interrupter.
    • How a positive interrupter should mean "stop what you are doing and come and find me".
    • When to use a positive interrupter to give your dog something different to do.
    • How an interrupter is not a recall cue and that your recall cue is sacred!
    • About choosing the best sound or word to use as a positive interrupter.
    • How you could use "wit-wit-wit-wit" as your positive interrupter.
    • How to easily teach your new positive interrupter to help you and your dog.
    • When to transition your new cue to real-life situations.
    • That you need to be aware of the thing before the thing and inadvertent behavior chains.

    What’s the word or sound you use or plan on using for your positive interrupter? Let us know in the comments.

      It's so funny! I use wit-wit as a game to get Win out of the kitchen each night while John is loading the dishwasher and cleaning up after dinner. Win waits for the game now and as soon as I say wit-wit, he runs with me to the bathroom to get his winner's circle of treats and then get his teeth brushed (well I just use toothpaste drops but he doesn't flinch anymore when I put them in his mouth because of this game!). Win doesn't actually get his nose into the dishwasher anymore; but we love this game so much that we play it every night. So now I will follow Susan's plan for advancing this to a cue that I can use as a positive interrupter for more important things such as running to the window (which he does less and less than before) and for going to pick up a potentially harmful item along the walking path. This is so cool!

      How about whistling? I have taught my dogs to come to me (not a formal recall) when we're out and they are off leash and I just want them to check in with me. I haven't thought about using it in other situations but I think it could work.

    • @nanettelai1525

      I have a question! If I have more than one dog, should I have a separate interrupter for each one ? I’m new to having two dogs. Mostly am planning to use the interrupter for the puppy when he decides to chew on the older dog when the older dog isn’t;t feeling like being chewed on lol. But as curious in case I wanted to use it for multiple dogs at any point. I am just learning how to handle two at a time - huuuuuge learning curve for me! Making slow gains though 😊

    This is all useful, but the most helpful instruction for me is to not use a new cue ‘for real’ for the 3 weeks. I tend to be too impatient and then get frustrated when it’s unreliable because I haven’t built my foundations properly. Thank you so much for all your teaching 😊

    This is REALLY hard to unlearn, I was taught the same way and still catch myself clapping and going HEY or ah ah with our new dog. I’m going to do my best to change that.

    • @Bossgirl222
      @Bossgirl222 29 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thank you for being honest… same here. It’s like this instinctual response kicks in and the “uh uh” “hey hey” “no no” 🙄 is old school ineffective. I also noticed, I get louder (as if my puppy can’t hear me, yea right) ….UH-UH! He will stop, but he shows the signs of lip licking, fake scratching etc. Like Susan said, there is a flaw in my training if it’s over the same dang thing. Time to Refocus. Replan. He’s 12 weeks. AND… as a little side note … as I get louder , guess who else is becoming more vocal! Yep! My bad!! I need to give myself grace… I’m learning, and this video helped me so much! Roping “me” in with better choices, and positive reinforcement!

    I am thinking of using “Ding” which is easy to repeat and make sound positive. Thanks Susan. I have years of ingrained use of “TST” or “Eh-Eh” or using a somewhat harsh “No” “Stop” or “Leave it” so switching from a negative interrupter to a fully positive one might be tricky for me but I feel it will enhance my relationship with my puppy so I will work hard to make that switcheroo.

    • @daveyinparis1
      @daveyinparis1 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey, thanks for the "Ding, ding, ding", Marianne. Love it! My mighty mutt picked it up really quickly. He stops in his tracks and comes back to me. Another three or four weeks practice and we could be ready to try it out on unwanted behaviour.
      Cheers from Oz.

    I was taught to use 'pup pup pupppppyyyyy' as a recall by a local trainer last year before I found you Susan so now I'm trying to make that a great recall (though as yet I can't let my scenthound off lead unfortunately) so am excited to start using 'wit wit wit' for positive interuptions. I so love your teaching, your style and your whole outlook - thank you so much.

    I enjoyed this podcast. I actually enjoy all your podcasts. I’ve been out of the loop for a few months and so glad to be back into the game again. First off , I love that you gave a shout out to Emily Larlham aka Kikopup. Secondly, I love that I am using the positive interrupter “pupnpupnpupeeeeee” with my brand new McNab pup. She has been with me since Saturday. The remarkable training I’ve used just happens to be the Susan G way. Started off the bat with collar grab, it’s yer choice “ and crate games. During the 5 days , she’s made no mistakes in house. I can interrupt her doing non exciting stuff and working on recalls too. Ok, so here comes the near poop escape. I spotted her walking around in a circle on one of the other dog’s bed and immediately did my pup pup pupeeeee and ran out the door keeping my eye on her. Low amd behold, here she comes running. She ran into the shrubs and resumed her poop escape. Touch down my girl. Well done . Thanks Susan . Glad to be back and happy to start once again.

    I learned "nope" from another online trainer. I think his online name is pawsitive? It's hard to say "nope" in a hostile way. Even if I go Nope nope nope, it comes out cheery.
    Today's video/podcast was excellent BTW. Good energy, funny, make me chuckle AND I love the happy music. Doo doo da doo doot Clappity Clap Clap

    Thank you Susan for reminding me to get rid of my bad habits from the 80’s! The negative sound seems to come out the worst when loose leash walking and the dog will randomly run to the end of the line and nearly yank my shoulder out of the socket! I need more practice :D I appreciate the great examples you supply.

    Pup pip as my girl collie tried to climb on my lap when you said that! So easy to be negative when your dogs are barking because they hear another dog somewhere. Started using this with success already 😊

  • @Ballooner
    @Ballooner 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    What confuses me is that any word or phrase we say is still just a sound to them. It is us that have added meaning to it. Be it negative or positive. So what's the point in steering away from "ah!" And using "wa wa wa wa waaa" when the only thing that's changed is the way WE perceive it? 🤔 example: you could teach a dog that a bad word is a good word and vice versa, as long as how WE think of it and use it is positive. You see my thought process? Glad for some feedback 🤗

    • @Annakdota
      @Annakdota หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's not really about the word but the way we say it. The reason why we change "no" to "wit" is actually not because of the dog but us, people. Because we tend to give certain words a certain meaning. The connotation of "No" is mostly negative. Of course we can force ourselves to use it with positive tone in our voice but.. imagine when we see something we don't want (for example our dog eating something from the grass), our emotions change simple "no" to "NO!!! 😡" (if that makes sence). However, if we have a word like "wit" - that does not have any specific meaning, it is new and we can teach ourselves that this word will always be positive.
      Hope this helped.

    I just trained "watch me" as an interpreter.... It means eye contact contact. Problem is, it creates a chain... I use it to prevent barking at other dogs... He now looks for dogs to bark at when I say it

    • @texasgirl6000
      @texasgirl6000 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, that's why you don't use these interrupters only when the dog is doing something mischievous > unwanted behavior. Some dogs will do the unwanted behavior purposely to get the reward.

  • @zdenkafialova8727
    @zdenkafialova8727 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used to use "yohoo" during shutzhund training.. (when dog got zoomies with a sleeve) But in normal life its a combination of an old fashioned "aah" , "end" , their name or "keep going".
    The last three get good, not intimidated reactions and its great. Yet I´ve found, when my head is not "in the moment", or somehow distracted.. its a step back and I´m getting back to the old programs. In my case, mindfulness is a key.
    Thanks for the podcast, its a great help! (and reminder to think about what I´m doing) :)

    Very useful information Susan! Thank You! I use Pup pup pup for that special once in a long time crucial recall. Doesn’t matter what’s happening or for what reason, I come. For other behaviours like you’re describing I will try the wit wit. I have been trouble shooting for a while because I created that exact negative behaviour chain you mentioned by using “trade” too much! I have since found your programs and the training necessary to stop relying on it to “ magically teach” my dog the right behaviours with It’s Yer Choice, for example. It all may seem a bit lengthy to do, but like your other games, once you get it down, they do get it, and learn. As you’ve said before, and I can attest to it, the difference compared to the immediate command and comply old school methods, far outweighs the constant need to control your dog and the ongoing managing! It’s a heck of a lot less negative and stressful too!

    Hi Susan,
    I use a sound that comes from a game that I played with my children called cuckoo. This started to be used when my two labs were off lead and going too far away from me. I like the sound because I can make it ring out loudly and never with an angry tone. That said, I do take the heart about the lesson plan and not reinforcing the thing before the thing.

    We've been very lucky with our European Maltese. We very seldom had to use negatives. I think the only time is when he pooped 1 batch in his toilet tray and 1 batch in 1 corner of the kitchen. 😂 He wasn't even destructive during teething. Even when we say no, we use it like a choice word with no anger or frustration. I did notice, though, that my dog drops his highest value duck jerky every time when I say, in a sing-song way, "Where are you?"

    You have to be able to BEAT a high competitive disruption or insentive to the dog at that point in time.

    Hmm, I have used "oookay" or "aalright" in that same tone. Usually when she is sniffing in a spot for too long on a walk.

    I been using a positive interrupter without knowing it was that, it worked very well for three month but it has been loosing value. It lost value because, as you say, I used it too much in situations that it was not ready for. Should I start from scratch with a new sound or work on it as if it was new?

  • @hannahstewart1534
    @hannahstewart1534 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use a clk-clk like how people will get a horse's attention, a tongue click in the cheek kinda. It's worked for every dog I've had!
    Either that, or ts-ts, tongue against the back of the teeth. That one works best on my cats but still works for dogs that are less responsive to the click.

    When we've worked up to interrupting high value activities, and we're using the cue in an actual situation, praise becomes enough of a reward, no cookie is needed anymore?

    Genoeg - which is basically the Afrikaans for enough. I like to use it in the sentence "Dis nou genoeg" which means, enough, move along please. I have whistle recalls which has been a game changer for me.

    Found you through a friend (yea!) and am trying to catch up on all the things I have missed. Have a 6 mos old golden who is mouthy and trying to use this interrupter for that. Where do you get your leashes by the way. Can seem to find anything like you have. Again thanks for all the knowledge. (Just bought a blue kiddie pool by the way to train to love water)

    Thank you Susan for all this great advice. I joined doggyflix and plan to start recallers. I've been working on treat diving. I don't want to confuse her. If I drop the treat to teach this do I need to say search?

    • @kimalot4966
      @kimalot4966 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @lilkoo93 I joined recallers a while back. If i remember correctly yes, just say search or get it if you drop the treat whether on purpose or accidentally. So that it's a command and not the dog making a bad decision. Although if I'm wrong about that I hope someone will correct this response.

  • @dianewright1460
    @dianewright1460 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Love all your pod casts and the education I'm getting with home school the dog! Positive interupter is causing a dilemma in my brain and I know you'll have the answer...when I drop or even throw a treat my dog Buddy was taught using "it's yer choice" and unless I say "get it" or search when I throw he knows not to eat it. So....do I use the positive interupter word then the permission cue for him to eat it?

    • @TheWhiterams

    @christiannegirouxclark854 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ok, I whistle when the dogs are too far from me, or nose down too long in the brush and I'm afraid of what they might have found. Is this a positive interupter? Should I build on this sound I already use and is more or less effective (they usually come barreling at me, but its not a true recall... could be much more effective by following these training tips)

  • @smfrink

  • @jmkoehn6799
    @jmkoehn6799 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this, Susan, perfect timing for my one year old and my foster pup (some sort of aussie herder). Do I have the sequence correct?
    - interrupter cue/ treat on leash, keep moving (for me I ended up with puppeeepuppeeepuppee)
    - interrupter cue / run / treat
    - 3 weeks +, cue to interrupt undesired behavior
    - (same time?) tug, cue, (tug stops) treat
    - instructions for non-tug dogs at 13:08
    - week 4-5, cue to interrupt low value activities

  • @terrygriffin1103
    @terrygriffin1103 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This seems like a new recall. I know the video starts with saying recall is sacred, but there isnt any information that differentiates the behavior. ‘Stop and find mom’. Why two commands?

    • @snakeygbr
      @snakeygbr ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I was wondering the same thing. If your 'recall' cue is sacred, why do you need something else? I thought recall should be taught to be 100% reliable so can be used to call off anything unwanted as well as a general come back to me. I'm not sure I understand the difference. I haven't done Recallers for several years as my dogs are 7 and 8 now, but I have a new puppy.

    The sound does not matter. The sound is associated with what behavior you want, instead of the one the dog is engaged in.
    I use, "uttt," as the interupter sound.

  • @genoeffapalumbo3378
    @genoeffapalumbo3378 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very useful, thank you! I have an adult rescue dog and recall is a tougher skill for both of us. Do you recommend doing this once a day for a week, then moving on to the moving for week and such? How long is a good amount of practice time? I spent about 10 minutes on it today.
