Important and often overlooked topic. I wish I had seen this video when I first got my high energy working line Golden Retriever 2 years ago. We’ve worked hard and have come a very long way, for sure, but I feel we would have done even better, and the path would have been smoother had we worked on socialization prior to completing all required vaccinations (contrary to our vet’s advice).
Wow Nate!! I love your training style, your content is always great, but JUNE 2021 you're KNOCKING IT OUTTA THE PARK!! Amazing stuff these last couple weeks--no need for you to respond, just want you to know your hard work is greatly appreciated!!🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟
Lots of great information! Personal favorite was that “…people are idiots.” I think we under-explain that people do dumb stuff and have assumptions of other peoples dogs. It is not that they can’t learn, but have not been taught better ways to interact. I was like that until I was told how to approach dogs. I still have to fight my desire to approach excitedly and aggressively.
I love your videos Nate and Bethany... Thanx for all the good work. I have a (soon) 9 weeks GSD and I'm working basically on contact and exposure to different environments and your videos guys have helped me A LOT!!! best of wishes from Norway.
How to approach a puppy and letting it approach you definitely made sense and wish I'd known that earlier.. thanks. Also, didnt realize Elmo made a guest appearance at 15:29! That was cool..
🇳🇿Great video, awesome content. Good to know that for first 12-13 weeks this is when social interaction is the best window of opportunity to get your puppy out and about. Keep the great videos coming Nate and Bethany 🇳🇿❤️👍
Yes, the science is the same. What varies between each dog are things like motivation, perseverance, intelligence, temperament, disposition, etc. Being able to adjust for each dog’s specific needs is considered the art of dog training. Because of this, not all techniques work on all dogs; and as a result, you have to be able to adjust accordingly. For example; a dog with a very high level of perseverance will continue to work through a difficult task to get a reward-while other dogs may give up early.
I foster shelter dogs with behavior issues. Alot of the adult dogs are fearful and not confident because they have lived much of their lives in a cage and never got much exposure to new things like other dogs, animals, obstacles and people. I try to socalise these dogs and build their confidence, but it is so much easier and better for the dog if you start this training as soon as possible when they are puppies!
If I try my dog she would freak and try to run even through I'm with her I got her when she was one year old and then when she hit 2 1/2 that when it start and I. Been working with her not to be so afraid I live in Hemet CA thank u so much for showing this
Thank you so much for your videos, Nate! What can you do about socialization if you rescue an adult dog? People who rescue have no control over puppy socialization.
In many videos I’ve seen you say with puppys biting hands and so on that you don’t discourage it because they are a working line, future protection, or competition dogs. However if the dog will just be a family pet is there a different way to approach it. Thanks
Your puppies looks healthy, smart and active. My 2months old female Gsd weight just about 3kilos and quite lazy. Her daily Diet is pedigree wit cooked rice. Done vet. Kindly share your health/diet guide🙂
I would advise against Pedigree. It's a well advertised food, but it's far from good. You can see most of the products that I use with my dogs, including food here: www.nateschoemer.com/store
Nate, thanks so much for sharing such quality content. My dog Frank and I are training hard to make him a service dog, and I’ve been using your advice a lot. He’s making great progress. One thing I’d like to kindly ask you to answer in a video or here, if you can, is how do I train Frank not to sniff (he doesn’t do it too much, but still not good enough for a service dog) when we enter a store or a restaurant. How do I train this? We’re now at a stage where whenever I take him to a restaurant, he will settle nicely on command next to me and remain in down stay for many minutes, but before he settles, he wants to sniff around and under the table a bit and requires me to give him commands multiple times. Same in the store: he remains next to me, doesn’t really pull, but still likes to sniff whatever is within his reach a little too much. Please share any ideas. I would greatly appreciate it and I believe your other followers would also benefit. :) Thank you again. Fantastic channel. I’ve recommended it to many friends already.
Thanks! Yes, I would treat it the same as how I stop a dog from jumping on people or furniture, or going into a restricted room. Check out this video to see what I mean. th-cam.com/video/R-dDY6QPENE/w-d-xo.html
@@NateSchoemer Thank you, I've just watched that linked video. It makes sense. So, to my understanding, I would pop the leash or say 'No', and then give Frank a few seconds not to sniff until I reward with my continuous marker and praise/treat (so he doesn't learn that it pays to sniff, because he then gets rewarded immediately after he's stopped). Did I get it right?
Can I do this with like, five puppyes at a time? I have to many of them. Actuelly, do I even need to socialize them with other dogs, since there are five of them?
They’ll need to be socialized around safe dogs at some point. They are only familiar with their litter mates, and this can form issues in the future (for socializing or training) because they tend to use one another for confidence and assurance. Having all five at once meet a safe dog might be far too overwhelming for the dog they’re meeting, and since you want to maintain structure, have the puppies crated and introduce them to the safe dog one at a time. That way, you can ensure good short and safe experiences.
Hi! My GSD is 13 weeks now and due to a bacterial infection and a scratched cornea, I've only been socializing and going places as of last week (since she was about 11.5 weeks). Am I doomed?! She's fine at hardware stores and pet stores, but she's scared of dogs. Is it too late, will she now be reactive to dogs since she's at the 13 week mark?!
No, it's not too late. Just keep exposing your dog to new environments and make it fun to create that strong positive association. Check out the videos below for more info: th-cam.com/video/RStYnOzAcQ0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/LSaA1SnZ90Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nate and Bethany! I know this video is a little old so I hope you'll still reply haha! I'm getting a puppy in 6 months and have been doing EVERYTHING I can to learn to become a good owner. Yes puppies are puppies and they're going to bite and be mouthy. BUT Bethany says at10:02 , "I want my puppy to be comfortable biting." So what about those of us who don't want that? It seemed like Bethany wasn't for the teeth on the gums (which I've always heard too and never really liked). I have lots of nieces and nephews under 8 and sorta helicopter parents and don't want to create any issues, but still want them to love and interact with my puppy. So what can I do that you recommend for the other part of us who DON'T want our puppies to be comfortable biting? Thanks so much!!
My dog wants to greet by jumping on people. She is a 2 year old rescue and heeler/sheherd mix. Have had her 8 weeks. Some people she lunges at their feet or shoes. What is the best way to get her unfixated on their feet and to greet calmly?
I have a question, I got my puppy at 7.5 weeks, I started doing shaping and luring, he’s now 9 weeks, at what age do I start naming the commands. He’s doing great with luring.
Once we have our dog performing the action the way that we like with our physical cue, it is then time to give the behavior a command. The command can be physical or verbal. In order for your dog to learn the command, you must say or perform the command ONCE and then show your dog the physical cue. Don’t make the mistake of repeating the command or saying something like “good sit” after the dog is already sitting, which can send mixed signals to a dog that is already sitting.
thank you for the tips! I was wondering if its true that you have to start training your german shepherd puppy, when you get it? do I socialize my puppy for the 13 weeks and then train?? pls help :)
Yes, socializing and training is important to start early in a dogs life. I personally start training as socializing once the puppy is comfortable in their new environment.
I brought home a 12 week old puppy who is scared of almost everything…I am trying to do right by her and socialize her as much as possible but I’m not sure how to approach it since she is in that fear period. Would love any tips anyone has 🙏😅
Hi I hope Nate u can help me with my dog iv been watching your vids and I'm now watching this video and it is with some one in Riverside is that in California and where are you located e please see my Emma was a recuse from WI she has a bad bro lem with sound and door bells and other things I. Been ask on utube if their any way to help me on what to do for her do u have any advice on this problem
What about kids approaching strange dogs? I usually always have the kids stand straight up rather than get down on the dog's level. By getting down on the dog's level, if the dog does bite, the kid's face is right there and now they're off balance because they bent down to the dog's level. Please advise.
Yes, I personally don't recommend letting kids pet strangers dogs, but with family and friends dogs that are trusted, it's okay. They can usually stand, since they're much smaller than adults and usually won't intimate most dogs with their size.
Hello Nate, I want to ask a very important issue. I have brought home a Belgian Malinois. Its been a month now..she is 3 months old now Whenever I start any kind of training to her and try to pet her a little after giving her a treat she growls on me as if she will bite me. I tried saying "No" and what not but she continues to do even today. Even when I touch her generally, she growls at me. I will be introducing her to kids next month but I am scared that she will bite them. Please tell me something. If she doesn't behave, I have to give her away what I don't want to. Please help
Hi Nate, my 6 month old puppy used to be okay with strangers greeting him and patting him, but lately he became easily scared by random noises, strangers and other dogs. Do you have any advice? Thank you!! Always your videos are really helpful.

The only thing that confused me , was Bethany said she lets people do what they want when interacting with a puppy before 13 weeks of age . When does she determine that the interaction isn’t going well and then cuts it off ?
sir / mam..can we a teach a long coat gsd like how we train a police gsd..i mean can we train him and can we do heavy exercises with a long coat gsd....if anyone know pls reply me...thank you..
Yes, you should be able to. With any dog, you need to learn how to read their body language so you don't overtrain them. As long as you keep the sessions short and fun, then you shouldn't have any issues. :)
@@NateSchoemer ok sir..thank you...soo much..sir if possible can u make a video on how we can prevent hip dysplasia in our dog in future.what exercises should be done in order to keep our dog hinds legs healty nd strong nd reduce the chances of hind legs problems...

So, when new people, or people my puppy doesn’t see very often, come over to my house, my 16 week German Shepherd puppy runs and hides behind the couch. Is this something normal that he’ll grow out of?
So I haven’t seen this video until recently and I never knew how important confidence building is at a young age for dogs. I watched your basic obedience series to train my dog when I first got him and he’s doing very well but since I never got to do any confidence building with him, he is becoming shy and scared of certain interactions. For example, EVERY single time he meets another dog whether they just want to sniff him or even play with him, he will do the submissive position and will not move until the dog is no longer focused on him. He has never been attacked or bit by another dog but he acts like it when he meets any big, medium, or small dog. He is a yorkie who is 10 months and pretty obedient for all the training I was able to do while in college. Is it too late to change any of his scared behaviors and build confidence since he is way past the 13 week mark? If not, what can I do to start helping him? Thank you
It is never too late to start confidence building with your dog 😊 Check out my other confidence building video here: th-cam.com/video/LSaA1SnZ90Q/w-d-xo.html
We avoid dog parks like the pest because more often than not the dogs there aren't properly socialized. And to be honest, lots of dog owners could benefit from some socialization, too lol.
Thanks a lot for this. We’re planning to get a rottie in a few months and I want to train it to attack and stop on command do you have any videos on it? If you don’t can you please recommend a few. And another one is man trailing but I’m pretty sure you have a series on it I’m not sure tho. Thank you :D

I hope for those of us who get an adult dog who may not be properly socialized, our attempts to get our dog used to unusual people, places, things are not in vain. 🤔
I seriously thought that I should keep my puppy until 12 weeks old. This video is great to know! One question is, can we socialise the puppy who has not gotten its 2nd vaccination with our neighbour's dog? Please response.
Yes, just make sure the other dog is vaccinated and friendly with puppies. Also keep in mind that anytime you are socializing a puppy that there are some risks, however small. In my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons.
I always train one at a time, and when both are fully trained, I can start working with both of them together, so they know they need to listen regardless of the distractions.
How does her dogs I fat I love that I just got a German Shepherd puppy she staying with old and sometimes she does not want to eat so you guys have any tips or what so my dog can eat more I like your dogs but mine is not eating that well I wanted my dog to be kind of like yours pretty fat if you know what to do please can you tell me I will appreciate you and I love your videos dude keep it up

In theory by 12 weeks a dog should have had 2 distemper parvo vx so risks are lower but plz everyone vx a puppy before going to places because most home depot's are near a PetSmart
Hey man just wanted to thank you, I found your channel awhile back when I was going to buy a belgian malinois, so I'm glad that lead me to your channel because they've been really helpful and so easy to understand. You deserve more views! Thanks again
Saying that a puppy enters a fear period around the time that they're finished being vaccinated is bullshit. I successfully socialized my Rough Collie puppy in that time period by training her to enjoy a wagon. We would go everywhere and to the mall. I also put her in shopping karts. She never hit the ground where I didn't want her to be. She is three now and a very well adjusted dog who is used for therapy work. People get dogs and they realize that they can't even go out in public, and taking their dog out is even scarier. We live in a strange time for dog training.
ALSO: Just saying "poop" and "water" is not enough. Pups get parvo from even being on the same grass in a city where its common. If you live in a populated area, just don't risk it, especially if you just put 2 grand down on buying your new best friend! Be insanely cautious and creative.

So, to my understanding, I would pop the leash or say 'No', and then give Frank a few seconds not to sniff until I reward with my continuous marker and praise/treat (so he doesn't learn that it pays to sniff, because he then gets rewarded immediately after he's stopped). Did I get it right?
Can I do this with like, five puppyes at a time? I have to many of them.
Actuelly, do I even need to socialize them with other dogs, since there are five of them?
They’ll need to be socialized around safe dogs at some point. They are only familiar with their litter mates, and this can form issues in the future (for socializing or training) because they tend to use one another for confidence and assurance. Having all five at once meet a safe dog might be far too overwhelming for the dog they’re meeting, and since you want to maintain structure, have the puppies crated and introduce them to the safe dog one at a time. That way, you can ensure good short and safe experiences.
Yes, I would start with one at a time and then I would start working them together when I worked through the early stages.
Hi! My GSD is 13 weeks now and due to a bacterial infection and a scratched cornea, I've only been socializing and going places as of last week (since she was about 11.5 weeks). Am I doomed?! She's fine at hardware stores and pet stores, but she's scared of dogs. Is it too late, will she now be reactive to dogs since she's at the 13 week mark?!
No, it's not too late. Just keep exposing your dog to new environments and make it fun to create that strong positive association. Check out the videos below for more info:

Hi Nate and Bethany! I know this video is a little old so I hope you'll still reply haha! I'm getting a puppy in 6 months and have been doing EVERYTHING I can to learn to become a good owner. Yes puppies are puppies and they're going to bite and be mouthy. BUT Bethany says at10:02 , "I want my puppy to be comfortable biting." So what about those of us who don't want that? It seemed like Bethany wasn't for the teeth on the gums (which I've always heard too and never really liked). I have lots of nieces and nephews under 8 and sorta helicopter parents and don't want to create any issues, but still want them to love and interact with my puppy. So what can I do that you recommend for the other part of us who DON'T want our puppies to be comfortable biting? Thanks so much!!
My dog wants to greet by jumping on people. She is a 2 year old rescue and heeler/sheherd mix. Have had her 8 weeks. Some people she lunges at their feet or shoes. What is the best way to get her unfixated on their feet and to greet calmly?
I have a question, I got my puppy at 7.5 weeks, I started doing shaping and luring, he’s now 9 weeks, at what age do I start naming the commands. He’s doing great with luring.
Once we have our dog performing the action the way that we like with our physical cue, it is then time to give the behavior a command. The command can be physical or verbal. In order for your dog to learn the command, you must say or perform the command ONCE and then show your dog the physical cue. Don’t make the mistake of repeating the command or saying something like “good sit” after the dog is already sitting, which can send mixed signals to a dog that is already sitting.
Question? Collar or harness for training?
thank you for the tips! I was wondering if its true that you have to start training your german shepherd puppy, when you get it? do I socialize my puppy for the 13 weeks and then train?? pls help :)
Yes, socializing and training is important to start early in a dogs life. I personally start training as socializing once the puppy is comfortable in their new environment.
Hey, is it okay to re-train a puppy even though he is now 4 months old? Thanks
Yes. :)
We’ve been in lockdown so what do you do to help socialise an older pup?
I talk about this in my dog training manual. You can get a copy here: amzn.to/2P2tyQH
@@NateSchoemer thanks I’ll get on and order one.
I brought home a 12 week old puppy who is scared of almost everything…I am trying to do right by her and socialize her as much as possible but I’m not sure how to approach it since she is in that fear period. Would love any tips anyone has 🙏😅
Master.👊🏾
Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers! :)
What if you miss that time period from a dog that was abused as puppy and terrified of people. Can this fear protection be un done?
Hi I hope Nate u can help me with my dog iv been watching your vids and I'm now watching this video and it is with some one in Riverside is that in California and where are you located e please see my Emma was a recuse from WI she has a bad bro lem with sound and door bells and other things I. Been ask on utube if their any way to help me on what to do for her do u have any advice on this problem
What about kids approaching strange dogs? I usually always have the kids stand straight up rather than get down on the dog's level. By getting down on the dog's level, if the dog does bite, the kid's face is right there and now they're off balance because they bent down to the dog's level. Please advise.
Yes, I personally don't recommend letting kids pet strangers dogs, but with family and friends dogs that are trusted, it's okay. They can usually stand, since they're much smaller than adults and usually won't intimate most dogs with their size.
Hello Nate, I want to ask a very important issue.
I have brought home a Belgian Malinois. Its been a month now..she is 3 months old now
Whenever I start any kind of training to her and try to pet her a little after giving her a treat she growls on me as if she will bite me. I tried saying "No" and what not but she continues to do even today. Even when I touch her generally, she growls at me. I will be introducing her to kids next month but I am scared that she will bite them. Please tell me something. If she doesn't behave, I have to give her away what I don't want to.
Please help
I would suggest reading my dog training manual that is available on amazon. I cover this information in detail. amzn.to/2P2tyQH
Hi Nate, my 6 month old puppy used to be okay with strangers greeting him and patting him, but lately he became easily scared by random noises, strangers and other dogs. Do you have any advice? Thank you!! Always your videos are really helpful.

So what if you got your puppy at 14 weeks and they already a bit timid?
The only thing that confused me , was Bethany said she lets people do what they want when interacting with a puppy before 13 weeks of age . When does she determine that the interaction isn’t going well and then cuts it off ?
She would determine that on a case-by-case basis.
sir / mam..can we a teach a long coat gsd like how we train a police gsd..i mean can we train him and can we do heavy exercises with a long coat gsd....if anyone know pls reply me...thank you..
Yes, you should be able to. With any dog, you need to learn how to read their body language so you don't overtrain them. As long as you keep the sessions short and fun, then you shouldn't have any issues. :)
@@NateSchoemer ok sir..thank you...soo much..sir if possible can u make a video on how we can prevent hip dysplasia in our dog in future.what exercises should be done in order to keep our dog hinds legs healty nd strong nd reduce the chances of hind legs problems...

Can a 9 week old puppy be anxious and if so, is it able to be trained out of her? She is pretty fearful of everything.
Definitely need one of those tunnels!
Yeah, the pups usually really enjoy the tunnel. :)
So, when new people, or people my puppy doesn’t see very often, come over to my house, my 16 week German Shepherd puppy runs and hides behind the couch. Is this something normal that he’ll grow out of?
I would start working on confidence-building and counterconditioning. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/LSaA1SnZ90Q/w-d-xo.html
@@NateSchoemer okay, thanks!
My puppy is afraid of dogs... he would want to run away when he meets other dogs... what should I do?
Check out this video and read the description to find the section that applies to your issue. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/3lBJFcWiAzk/w-d-xo.html
So I haven’t seen this video until recently and I never knew how important confidence building is at a young age for dogs. I watched your basic obedience series to train my dog when I first got him and he’s doing very well but since I never got to do any confidence building with him, he is becoming shy and scared of certain interactions. For example, EVERY single time he meets another dog whether they just want to sniff him or even play with him, he will do the submissive position and will not move until the dog is no longer focused on him. He has never been attacked or bit by another dog but he acts like it when he meets any big, medium, or small dog. He is a yorkie who is 10 months and pretty obedient for all the training I was able to do while in college. Is it too late to change any of his scared behaviors and build confidence since he is way past the 13 week mark? If not, what can I do to start helping him? Thank you
It is never too late to start confidence building with your dog 😊 Check out my other confidence building video here: th-cam.com/video/LSaA1SnZ90Q/w-d-xo.html
We avoid dog parks like the pest because more often than not the dogs there aren't properly socialized. And to be honest, lots of dog owners could benefit from some socialization, too lol.
Yes!
This is soo amazing i wish my dog was a puppy again 🤣Definitely best advise how to do it right way! Awesome !
Thanks, G K! :)
Thanks a lot for this. We’re planning to get a rottie in a few months and I want to train it to attack and stop on command do you have any videos on it? If you don’t can you please recommend a few. And another one is man trailing but I’m pretty sure you have a series on it I’m not sure tho. Thank you :D

I hope for those of us who get an adult dog who may not be properly socialized, our attempts to get our dog used to unusual people, places, things are not in vain. 🤔
You can improve a dogs socials skills at any time. :)
On hot days I gently hose down the dogs or use a cold wet towel.
Thanks for commenting. :)
My puppy just turn 14 weeks today. I wish I saw this video a couple weeks ago. And ... I was told not to bring him anyware til fully vaccinated.
It's not too late to still work on building your dogs confidence and socializing skills. :)
I seriously thought that I should keep my puppy until 12 weeks old. This video is great to know! One question is, can we socialise the puppy who has not gotten its 2nd vaccination with our neighbour's dog? Please response.
Yes, just make sure the other dog is vaccinated and friendly with puppies. Also keep in mind that anytime you are socializing a puppy that there are some risks, however small. In my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons.
@@NateSchoemer thank you 😊
Nate I have 2 new Dutch Shepheard do you have any ideas on how to train both at the same time? or is it best to train one at a time?
I always train one at a time, and when both are fully trained, I can start working with both of them together, so they know they need to listen regardless of the distractions.
How does her dogs I fat I love that I just got a German Shepherd puppy she staying with old and sometimes she does not want to eat so you guys have any tips or what so my dog can eat more I like your dogs but mine is not eating that well I wanted my dog to be kind of like yours pretty fat if you know what to do please can you tell me I will appreciate you and I love your videos dude keep it up

For sure. You can see most of the products that I use with my dogs, including food and treats here: www.nateschoemer.com/store
In theory by 12 weeks a dog should have had 2 distemper parvo vx so risks are lower but plz everyone vx a puppy before going to places because most home depot's are near a PetSmart

How about socializing a previously neglected and fearful rescue animal who’s older than 13 weeks?
You can do that as well. Just don't do too much too soon or you can stress the pup out.
Desensitization is soooooo important!
Absolutely!
👍👍👍
Thanks, DJ Whizbang!
STEVEIOOOOOOO HAHAH
Hey man just wanted to thank you, I found your channel awhile back when I was going to buy a belgian malinois, so I'm glad that lead me to your channel because they've been really helpful and so easy to understand. You deserve more views! Thanks again
I'm not sure why she said she lets her puppies bite?
She doesn't want to discourage the biting since she breeds for working dogs and protection sports.
Saying that a puppy enters a fear period around the time that they're finished being vaccinated is bullshit. I successfully socialized my Rough Collie puppy in that time period by training her to enjoy a wagon. We would go everywhere and to the mall. I also put her in shopping karts. She never hit the ground where I didn't want her to be. She is three now and a very well adjusted dog who is used for therapy work. People get dogs and they realize that they can't even go out in public, and taking their dog out is even scarier. We live in a strange time for dog training.
ALSO: Just saying "poop" and "water" is not enough. Pups get parvo from even being on the same grass in a city where its common. If you live in a populated area, just don't risk it, especially if you just put 2 grand down on buying your new best friend! Be insanely cautious and creative.
How much price ?
Annoying thing is people hardly ever ask. By the time I’ve said no or wait they’re already at my dog.
Very true. I experience that often as well.
The biggest battle for me are vet techs. They think they’re professionals and know what’s best for your puppy.
Is anyone else waiting for the puppy to talk?
Lol!
My mother in law loves Turkey neck chickens lol I think they’re super ugly
Lol!
Honey those aren't horses---they're mules.
Lol! :)
Vets do not give this info out and it is so detramantal to puppy development
