Love watching your tecnique- especially for lowering the excited energy. Totally motivated to get out into my front garden with my 5 month olde aussie and working on engagement in this way. Thanks! Looking forward to more.
Thanks. Good video. I love how calm and clear you are with your dog. My challenge is always to use one command once instead of repeatedly saying the word rendering it useless.
Totally agree that poor focus on the lead is due to lack of attention paid towards the handler. Nice video. Any tips for if a dog will only work for food? i.e. "I'm not doing that unless I can see you have a treat for me"
Hi, thanks for the awesome comment. I would try a mix in your training, maybe load up on treats at the start and then swap it to attention or no treat and see the dogs reaction. But some dogs are really food focused and work best for tasty treats. What type of dog do you have?
@@thecairdcompany2811 English Springer Spaniel. He loves attention during downtime but isn't motivated by it during training, unfortunately. He is always on the lookout for a treat and I just can't get him working without either a treat or a ball (a ball isn't realistic to use if I simply want a 'down'). I'm stuck :(
I just found your channel and am impressed by the simplicity of the "game" to build engagement with your dog. I have a rescue Staffy that is food motivated to this will be perfect for him. I will be keeping an eye on your channel to see more of your techniques for dog training.
@@thecairdcompany2811 Merle is doing great! He's around 7 years old but has the energy of a 6 month old so a game of Frisbee is in order to take the edge off him before playing these games. He had virtually no recall when I got him but now he at least responds to his name when called. He doesn't always come when called but he's getting better. Thanks so much for you taking the time to share your training techniques with we youtubers!
Thank you for such a great video. I really enjoyed it. I have a dog that gets bored quickly and most trainers say I should get exciting to him. But that puts him over the top and he can't concentrate. This is a wonderful method for us. I will try it before our obedience class today.❤❤
That's such a lovely comment, thank you! What type of dog do you have? We have just moved to a new house with a nice back garden so we are looking forward to doing more videos. Our dog has really settled down and matured now she is 2. What age is your dog?
@@thecairdcompany2811 He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and will be turning 3 yrs on July 13 2024. I am looking forward to seeing more of you and your beautiful pup. ❤
so good video ! but it seems you dog knows already very well what you expect from her. I will start as soon as possible but now in Florida we have high heat and a lot of rain. but cannot wait to work with my puppy and teach her this lesson. It will be not so easy as I see you with your dog. Thank you , very good video.
thank you so much for the lovely comment! I can only imagine how hot it is across there in Florida!!! I know what you mean, it is hard because Poppy has picked up the training so fast haha! Awesome to think someone in America is watch my training over here!
This is just what we need for our distracted and independant (!) Mini Schnauzer. May I recommend dried sprats, broken up, they're the best treats because they're natural, and really stinky, which dogs love! Plus they don't contain all the sugar and wheat that dried food or treats are made of. Can't use my dog's food for this, though. He's on raw, and thrives on it! 🙂
Great video, thanks! Have been doing something similar with my lab, but am going to add throwing the treats on the ground to improve distance! Have you considered using considered adding ‘wait’ command to build focus as you’re doing, and use the ‘leave it’ command for something she is not to ever touch. This adds a layer to her trying but might be something to consider. Leave it can be then applied to anything, from spilled pesticide when walking her at your Home Improvement store, to other dogs on a walk, to an item on the sidewalk. When you say ‘leave it’ she should immediately look up at you and keep going with you away from whatever it is. This a can take a little time to teach but it is so worth it and could even save her life. Again, nice video, added nuance. Thanks!
Evening, sorry for the slow reply! Thanks so much for taking the time to mention all of that, very informative!! I'm looking forward to getting some more training videos out when we move house in a few months... bit more of a secluded garden :) I can see your photo has a spaniel in it, do you have a few furry friends?
Evening, sorry for the slow reply! Yeah we sometimes use kibble and sometimes just normal training treats. If we are doing it in a very busy place I will use a few pieces of chicken or ham just to get her focused on me haha
we used kibble which was part of her meals when she was younger. It defiantly worked to keep her attention on us, and actually really mentally stimulated the dog. What type of dog do you have?
Just FYI your thumbnail had a mistake in it: the apostrophe in "dog's" was not necessary. It should have been just "dogs". An apostrophe means either something is possessed by dogs or is a contraction. For example, you could have had "Best dog's games" in your thumbnail. The games would have belonged to dogs, but you put "Best Games for Dogs" and "Dogs" is simply plural.
Appreciate your bravery to do this in your yard 💪
love how you call it a YARD :) where about do you live?
@@thecairdcompany2811 Well actually Germany. Not sure if that word is actually British or American English so yeah 😁.
Important information. Engagement with your dog is so crucial
Seems to work well with your pup. And it's easy to do, even in the garden.
yeah she has really enjoyed it, and I think it worked well over the years to build her focus on us. Do you do any attention work / training?
Love watching your tecnique- especially for lowering the excited energy. Totally motivated to get out into my front garden with my 5 month olde aussie and working on engagement in this way. Thanks! Looking forward to more.
Cheers buddy! So glad that it was some use and helpful! How's the training going? Is an Aussie an Australian Shepherd? They are awesome dogs!!
❤ my puppy needs this.
aww I am sure you are doing amazing! What type of dog breed do you have??
Enjoyed watching you train pup. Thanks...
awesome, thanks for the great comment! It was really sunny that day, could do with some sun this week haha
Thanks. Good video. I love how calm and clear you are with your dog. My challenge is always to use one command once instead of repeatedly saying the word rendering it useless.
evening, thank you for the lovely comment!! I can't see what type of dog you have in your photo?
Nice calm training. Well done!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment!
Great job, enjoyed very much. You make it look so easy !! Thanks 😍🐾🇺🇸

That's awesome tips, thanks! My eldest has used them before and also said he liked training with them! Will get some for future videos!
Great video very informative

Hi can I ask is it your dogs kibble? My dog hates his kibble and wouldn’t take it- still looking for a tasty kibble suggestion
Evening, sorry for the slow reply! Yeah we sometimes use kibble and sometimes just normal training treats. If we are doing it in a very busy place I will use a few pieces of chicken or ham just to get her focused on me haha
Who called the grammer police? 😂
it's "grammAr" 😉
Omg Lol 😅
Do you use regular food or treats?

german shepherd working line 1,5 years old

Guilty as charged :) I'm normally the one that spots this on other people's thumbnails aswell haha!
Poor grammar erodes your credibility as a so-called authority...
Not fixing it makes it even worse.
No one really cares.
I want to watch dog training not grammar lessons!
@@bethhayes8427Yes they do
harness? not on your life. Collar? not happening with mine. A halti combined with a slipchain.
what type of dog do you have?
Plural nouns don't take apostrophes.
You sunk by battleship
