What’s More Important Than Your Dog Training Sessions?

- For dog agility, we have a start line, and that is where our dog stays until we release them. The start line is a given for my dogs, and I know they will stay, but getting dogs to wait in any position can be very challenging for many. We’re covering what I do that allows me to take it for granted my dogs will stay no matter what. Plus, we’re taking a quick detour to discuss the use of the word no in dog training.
In the episode you'll hear:
• Why we are always dog training, even if we don’t think we are.
• The data I’ve collected on my dogs start lines over the years.
• How most of my dog training happens around the house.
• What I reward my dogs with for holding position.
• About the daily life training I do with my dogs.
• How start lines start with Crate Games and apply to doors, beds, cars and more.
• About the importance of the release cue.
• That permission is reinforcing.
• All the opportunities to train your dog when you are not training.
• How to easily practice a start line 6430 times a year without training.
• What I believe about the word “no” in dog training.
• About Tater’s marking and how I deal with it.
• Why I focus on my dog’s having a head whip reaction to their name.

Im no longer able to do agility but love this podcast and everything you share with us! ♥️.
Susan what a super podcast. It has opened my eyes and will really help us to be even more intentional with our training. Thank you 🤩
Problem with “no” is that we humans see the unwanted behavior when we say, “No.” and dogs read these pictures we see. I “no” turns into a reinforcement - animal communication
To be a good family pet…….
Thanks
Brilliant, as usual! I was watching when you did that calculation during the 360 program video and happy to hear how you elaborate on that fact! Picking up our very first puppy this Sunday and so excited to start Crate Games and IYC straight away (between all the loving, kisses and cuddles....and potty runs!). I also took advantage of the 4 month HSTD program you so generously offered :) Since discovering you, and Dogs That, I've watched, listened to, and read, every bit of information you have put out...twice! I'm committed!
I hope you enjoyed the first year of having your first puppy. It’s fun and challenging at the same time. I wish I knew about Susan when I first got Anna and Zoe but they are now both almost two. Zoe will be two next month. My stray is twoish, I call them my three stooges. My four year old is a small short legged, long bodied girl. Four girls. I barely signed up for hstd and crate games. I brought Zoe and Anna home on the same day lol and no they’re not related but they act like twins or siblings lol. Susan’s game based training is so much more fun and so different than any positive trainer or any other balanced trainer. I’m so glad someone told me about her last year. Eventually, I want to do recallers. How is your puppy doing now?
@@jessicajarsak7812 Thank you for asking :) Crate Games and IYC were the best things I ever did, and following much of Susan's advice on housebreaking and "Gated Communities" we never had accidents, ever, and no chewing of anything, ever! However, I ran into multiple issues, including a dog not motivated by food, not good at playing tug, sensitive and fearful, and now leash reactive. Add in a husband that coddles the dog, undermines most of what I did from day one, and severe separation anxiety keeps me from ever being able to leave the house for more than a hour or two.
I'm currently invested in "play" work/training with my now 100lb 17 month old and it's making a difference. Over the past 1 + years I've had to investigate other styles of training, and invest in private training sessions as well. Wish I could say it's been a bed of roses but now I have a much clearer understanding of how people become dog trainers, just trying to learn how to "fix" all the problems with their "first" dogs.
So great to hear you are feeling successful with the programs. I am a member of Recallers (of course because what's another $500?...kidding), and my review would be mixed. If you have a food motivated dog, much more successful. An analogy would be to consider signing up for an online course to become a Master Chef, when you don't even know how to boil water! It takes much more effort and experience, even when you have a Master showing you how (Susan and her Team for example). Anyway, all the best, and thank you again for asking how we are. It's been way more challenging in ways I never expected and I have the desire and time more than most and more resources than a lot of people and it's nowhere near where I thought I'd be at almost 1 1 /2 years.
Wow, I so wish I had seen this podcast before I started training my puppy, but I'm on it now. Thank you for this great information.
soo great helped my mindset with my loving life puppy
Thank you for watching, and for your lovely note, Trillian!
I LOVE this! I was explaining to people that I teach my family pets the way sport dogs learn thanks to your methods.
From what I understand about dog learning, many of them may perceive their names to be "no" 😆
Hi Susan, I'm doing crate games. We are making the rewards higher value when they return to the crate. In this podcast you suggest the reward of release from the crate is to play with you. When do you make the switch? Also when and how do you stop using high value treats?
This is great! I try to do impulse control to translate to startlines, and reward my dog when she comes when called on a daily basis. Have noticed her recall slipping a bit sometimes so will definitely stay on top of it.
Intentional, intentional, intentional. I must be more intentional. Really good podcast that I will listen to again. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Absolutely bloomin brilliant! Can't say any more! Other than how dumb I am for all the opportunities I've missed!
Thank you, Ray! We know you're doing the best you can. "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” - Maya Angelou
SOOO awesome! I love the wait at the door. Keeps both the dogs and people safe, as they must wait and not trip you up running down stairs etc. My dog has been trained to mark and wait top and bottom stairs and not move until I am walking along side.
What are your thoughts on "dog doors?" We have a fenced -in yard and our three dogs have always come in and out as they please. However, after listening to this podcast I feel like I am missing out on many opportunities to train my dogs. I will be rethinking how I use the dog door. Thank you for this "aha" moment!
OMG! Thank you! Makes total sense, If you give your dog a treat at the start line in training, how do you transition away from doing it - cold turkey?
Susan!!!! Can you teach us how to train our dogs to be relaxed like This when she is in her hotzone to cut her nails??
Hi, Susan has a specific video on Pedicure Please that will be helpful: th-cam.com/video/JIPxgReFk58/w-d-xo.html (DogsThat Team)
@@DogsThat thank u!
😃 you guys are awesome
Another great podcast Susan!Thank you! Just to clarify, if I’m practicing reinforcement Zone with my puppy, and want to get him to heel/close at my side up to a start line, can I reinforce at the start line upon arrival and then tell him to wait as long as I’m not walking/(throwing something) back to give him an additional reward?
Perfect! Love this!!
So what to do if you dog goes into the hot zone on their own free will while not playing the game and proceeds to bark to get treats.
intentional and intense share similar origins...
I think you are funny, and make a lot of sense.
