      Everyone has a different style and some are naturally better at explaining others. I have had people sit in and watch and tell me that I might consider taking less. Guess what? The owners still don't listen. So I took a class. Check out Toastmasters in your area.
      What I learned was to get more information, in a more concise way, in a shorter time. Also, reading the listener. If you watch, you can tell when the person you are speaking to has checked out. Keep it shorter, and avoid it. Because, after they "check out", they aren't really listening any longer.

They have to come to my shop and within minutes they say or signal the same commands I’ve just walked with their dog and he’s perfect! They don’t use the same commands I taught them and the dog! It’s easy to train the dog! It’s hard to train the owner!!

    In my humble opinion, thee BEST channel in your field. I'm a disabled combat veteran with a 5 yr. old GSD/Malionis as my service dog. We were first paired when she was about 1yr. and she is the best thing to have ever happened in my life. The service dog organization that paired me with back in CA was very old school in their training as the CEO/founder was a former K9 handler in the Army. After graduating from their program - over 200 hrs. logged at the training facility and 700
    + hours outside/home over the course of 2 yrs. - I eventually learned that the program that DC (Damage Control) my service dog and I went through could of been much more productive with other training methods. If you are familiar with "old school" training mixed with a military mindset then you will know what I'm talking about.
    Now, I'm helping my parents train a puppy Sable Shepard to be my mothers mobility service dog. I remember all of the mistakes I had made with my girl and I always send them to your channel because even though I have some experience, I am by far, not an expert and your material and training methods are top notch. I just wish that I knew of your channel when I first started out.

    Consistency is one of the many skills training dogs has taught me. Whenever the training is "not working", the first thing I work on is how consistent I'm being.
    I'm a drummer and the ONLY way to get better is tedious repetition of the same exercise until the muscle memory is built up. I'll spend hours doing the same action thousands and thousands of times until the strokes are even and consistent. Some techniques take months and months of regular practice to get.

    I knew a girl years ago who lacked patience and tried to train a new puppy in her life; she was a person who talks a lot and fast but for love or money couldn’t even train her dog to sit. One day I bet her $5 that she in fact had done it, she took the bet and then I won by mimicking her saying “sit,sit,sit,Sit!” and the dog sat... she had accidentally taught the pooch only sit if the word was said 4 times fast and the last was louder. It was amusing and a bit of learning curve for her.

She completely rules their house and is treated like a child who needs treats for just being there. Watching your videos has helped so much she now has learned to sit on command and now has learned to sit to be leashed. It's slow going but hopefully someday she'll become more manageable.

I have to use a harness on her because if I hooked the leash to her collar, she'd break her neck if she saw a bird, or squirrel. She's good about stepping into the harness; and is smart as a whip. I'm just not doing it correctly; I realize now that I'm not being consistent enough. I'll be watching your videos on leash training; and continue to train. It's quite rewarding to see the results. I think that she saved me just as much, if not more, than I saved her. I'm not giving up...we're going to get it right eventually!

    Prior to your saying "consistency", I wanted finish your sentence with "discipline". I would say that the discipline is the condition precedent for consistency. Your video pertains not just to dog training but anything in our lives: parenting, friendship, marriage and our approach to our work or vocational endeavors. Mistakes are the bedrock not of our failures but our successes so long as we learn from them and accept them as part of the learning to mastery process. Mastery at anything cannot happen until we accept our failures in the process as opportunities to succeed.

    What he says here is absolutely true. I use to breed (very limited) shepherds, and so loved them.) One thing, that use to drive me crazy was when I was bringing their food to them they would be jumping all over and sometimes knocking over the food bowl before I could place the bowl, so that problem became one of the most important thing, to me, to address in their training . It is important that your dog watches you for direction. That is a good dog. Anyway, back to the food thing. I would have them sit and wait until I told them Ok to eat. At first when I was working on this particular thing, when I leaned down to place the food bowl on the ground/floor they thought it was ok to eat, but not so, if they started to get to their food while the bowl was still in my hand I promptly brought the food bowl back up so they had to wait until they were fully still, completely, and looking to me for direction, if they start the same thing, I would do this over and over again until they realize their moves didn't work in their favor. IMPORTANT, I NEVER veered from that routine, it WORKS, but only if you do this EVERY time. This helps the dog to look for their cue from you to go ahead, with whatever word you choose to use each time. It also teaches them to be patient. This only works if you do this EVERYTIME, EVERYTIME, EVERYTIME. I can't say this enough, just as the video stresses. Unfortunately, if other people, family members who ever may feed them, it is near impossible to get this thru to them. This takes a lot off of you to have them co-operate with you. Just know they are going to test you, so be ready when you bring the bowl half way down, they are probably going to go for it before you are able to sit the bowl down. So, it is so important to immediately bring the bowl back up until they are PERFECTLY STILL for a few seconds. You don't want to have to try and dodge their head when trying to put the bowl down. They should wait until you have stood up completely, and WAIT until you give them, the WORD, and even wait several seconds before you give the WORD. Well, that is my tip, and I just learned this going down the road training my own dogs. . Best to all! P.S Sorry this is so long.

    Really thank you for this advise. This seems to me the best advise I never had in dog training. From now I will try to keep this in mind and to pay attention to this when training my malinois.

    Very good advice! Not only for dog training, but for life as well. I have been watching your training videos to help get a pitbull rescue under control. Consistency has been a common theme I've noticed and embraced. Happy to say I've made huge progress with the dog and must also say the training routine and consistency as made my life noticeably better. Thank you for the great content Robert!

    "yet" is a powerful little word!! I use it for encouragement when working with both animals and people, including myself. Instead of "I can't do this!" I think "I haven't done it YET". My lab pup has learned SO much so quickly, but just could not/would not manage a "stand"... I could lure her forward from a down or sit, and knows "wait" in down and sit, but she just would not stop moving forward and wait in stand (yet). At almost 8 months, she is finally understanding as we practice stand/wait/fold-down. 👏👏👏 BTW I never noticed the fold-down as a "thing" till watching Goofy in the box.
    Thanks for that!

    I’m becoming a dog trainer and I think the hardest thing for me to grasp, and this video helped so much to explain it, was what consistency really meant, including how tone of voice has to truly be the same every time I give the cue. This made my day because even I sometimes get down on myself like why am I facing difficulty when I don’t need to. It’s for these very reasons, truly honing patience and consistency! Thank you Robert for the wise words! Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🐕✨

    Robert has become our primary mentor for training. When we decided to get a Belgian Mailinois, I knew we needed some guidance (I had never worked with a dog like this) and discovering Robert was amazing. I used his free content, which is plentiful, for the the first couple of months of Kila's training with good success. Now we are a member at his website and Kila, at 6 months old, is truly becoming the most amazing dog we have ever owned. Thanks Robert!

    What an amazing insight! Do not change your technique, unknowingly most of us do that because we dont get desired results, every day watch a new video and hope for a miracle that our dogs will be trained with that technique... All we do is confuse them and set them up for failure...

    Thank you Me. Cabral. I just purchased an Afghan pup and your advice is spot on.
    I’m 67 and wanted something to help me with consistency. So I own “King Tut.” We’ve been working on housebreaking, leash commands and biting.
    Many times I wanted to throw in the towel, but your advice is evidence I’m on the right path.
    I’m also into martial arts and consistency is imperative if you want proficiency. Thanks again.

    I agree, if ya don’t have the time/patience, to put in the work ya gonna set ya self up for failure. I also believe that yelling at the animal will have it thinking about the yelling and won’t be able to concentrate on anything until it’s calmed down again, to say nothing about praise,very important..praise.. top tips mate. Thank you 🙏

    @mattystewart8 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You always seem to post a video exactly when i need it 😂 ive literally just figured this out. I put way too much expectation on my pup, got very frustrated and in the end i almost quit, and because i too have been doing martial arts for years i thougt screw it i wont give up ill just change my approach. In the last two weeks my dog is a completely different dog, she is happier, im happier and her work is benefiting from it also.

  • @mariustresorus942

    You're brillant. I've found your TH-cam channel earlier this week, passed it to my daughter(22 yo) and she already has an appointment with a dogtrainer on this coming Sunday (here in France - we'll check if he's okay thanks to your advices).
    The dog (aussie from an association shelter) is 8 months old and he's okay (socialized, dogpark every day, does many things as stand, down, sit...).
    But he doesn't clearly get under control yet the basics "The COME command, the STAY command and the LEAVE IT command.".
    Thanks for your work ! It helps a lot.

    Absolutely brilliant. I have been researching how to be a good owner before I would get a pup. Up until now I have had a lot of doubts about my ability. However after listening to this, I am now confident. Why? Because I have never been exceptional at anything, yet I am fairly successful. Why? Because of my routines, patience and perseverance. I have applied the same mindset in martial arts, learning, motorcycle riding and fitness alike. Thank you Robert! :)

    1000% agree! I haven't had a dog for awhile, but the ones I had were well behaved, because I was always consistent and patient. And I never used treats, only praise.

She seems to love our daily training sessions and so do i. She does not always get it right but with patience and consistency it is so rewarding when she does. For Both of us.

    I really enjoy these videos and have saved a number of them for future reference. I agree with 99% of everything. Really the only thing I have a issue with is tone. I agree that during training tone should always be consistent. But a dog can sense intent, urgency, pleasure or displeasure if you use different tones.
