Step 1) Make sure your dog knows the continuation and terminal marker
Step 2) Shape the behavior using luring and leash pressure.
Step 3) Name the command in the correct order. Command, then motivate, then mark, and then reward.

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
Love how Nate starts walking and Ari just randomly appears between his legs and just passes by like normal 😂😍 so cute
Lol! She is super cute! :)
I love the dog that comes in at 4:55 he is soooooo motivated, I find myself cheering for him when he does a good job hahah
Hahaha! Yeah, Charlie is always super happy and motivated. :)
Man these videos are soooo great! Charlie has so much energy and it’s nice to see you training different breeds. I’ll be getting an 8 week old gsd tomorrow and so I’ve been studying up. I’m definitely going to do my best to use these skills
Awesome. Thanks and congrats on the new puppy! :)
@@NateSchoemer When do you think it would be a good time to introduce him to my girlfriend's dogs? One is a 3 year old Yorkie Poo male that absolutely adores me and obeys me pretty well and the other is an older rescue Maltese female that can tend to bully sometimes.
I love your videos! Question; I have a well trained show dog (doberman) that has always been rewarded for standing and baiting and specifically NEVER sitting for food. I’m stumped on how to start the very basics of sit and down.
Hi Nate! Thank you for your fantastic videos! Even though I still have about a year and a half before I can get my pet, these videos are so incredibly helpful! I do have a question: How do I know when my puppy is ready to learn the sit/stay command instead of just a sit? Thank you so much!
Thanks! I start the stay when they know and understand leash pressure. :)
That's awesome that you're preparing well beforehand how to work with your future dog!!! That's the way to do it! 😊😊
Hey Nate. Great videos. Any recommendations for teaching sit to a pup that already sits automatically when he's waiting for a command? He's too good! :)
Thanks! Yes, I would use leash pressure and the stay command, then implement the sit with down and stand stay. :)
Awesome make sure they are a bit hungry then train....
The more motivated the dog, the easier it is to train them. :)
Hey Nate! First of all, thank you for everything you do. I am training our 8 week old pup and he is catching on really quick because of the methods that you have taught me. I am curious to know if I will have to give my pup a treat (I am still using his kibble as you recommended) every time I ask him to do a command; such as sit, forever?
Thanks! No, you want to start spacing out rewards and working on free shaping. The two videos below should help. :) th-cam.com/video/a2OBoptftYs/w-d-xo.html

@@NateSchoemer Thank you these were very helpful!
Hi Nate, I’ve been following your videos since we got our GSD pup and they’ve genuinely been really helpful. A couple of questions from me:
1) when doing engagement training, whenever the dog looks at you, is it okay to mark with the continuation marker several times in a row whilst they maintain the position, before using free to release them?
2) when i’m teaching commands like sit, and i want the dog to maintain the position, should I mark periodically with the continuation marker as the dog maintains the stay, regardless of whether or not they make eye contact, or only when they make eye contact? Or do you only mark once with the continuation marker?; and if this is the case, what do you do when they break the position and you’re trying to teach the implied stay?
Many thanks from the UK.
1. Yes, as long as you reward them after each marker.
2. th-cam.com/video/s5iD8eN89bo/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
Hey now that my 5 and a half year old dog is conditioned to markers I'm teaching the sit now as proffesionals do you teach sit and only after the dog is proficient in one command you continue to other commands ? Or you shape different behaviours at the same time ? Thanks you for this great channel . Your a great teacher .
Thanks! I like to train multiple behaviors during each session. Jump to 3 minutes into this video: th-cam.com/video/Z-x05KZZ_mY/w-d-xo.html
Teaching numerous behaviors per session makes the training more fun and engaging for the dog. If our dogs enjoy the training, they will learn faster. :)
@@NateSchoemer so when you are still in the shaping phase you mix with luring ? Like this minute shape sit and the next down ?
To teach the implied stay sit, do you recommend teaching sit on the cot to be more clear with the dog? I saw your video on implied stay, and you mention that the implied stay climb is the first one you teach. Do you teach implied sit and down afterwards? Or can the implied stay sit simply be done by putting a dog into sit with the verbal cue, and if they get up, say no, and lead them back to the exact spot they were sitting before. thank you!
Yes, you can teach the sit stay and the down stay on the dog bed first if you prefer. This could possibly make it even easier for your dog when you teach the sit and down stay on the ground. The process for the stay is the same in each commanded position. Just be sure to always take the dog back to the location where the stay was if the command is broken. Cheers!
Hello Nate, great videos. Always so helpful. I start teaching my dog the sit stay command but I only used physical cues.
1) when should you use physical cues vs leash pressure? Or should leash pressure always be used?
2) I gave my dog the sit command and I began to walk away to see if he would stay there so I could use the terminal marker to gage if he would stay in his sit, but on a couple occasions he stood up and took a couple steps toward me. So I guess my question is, is a sit stay only implied with the continuation marker or is it already implied when say the command? If your dog breaks from the command, how do you correct him?
1) You can use the lure, the leash pressure, or both. Often I'll use the lure, but I'll have the leash as a back-up, in case the dog decides not to do the command.
2)Firstly, there are the two positive types of markers: The first one is the continuation marker (I like to use the word “yes”). This is a word or sound that lets the dog know that they are correct and will be delivered a reward. It’s called a continuation marker because unlike the terminal marker, it doesn’t release the dog. Meaning, if your dog is in a command stay, you can use this marker without releasing the dog from the stay.
However, if your dog is not in a command stay, then this marker just means they’ll be rewarded. Therefore, this often confuses people because of the terminology “continuation”. This is why it’s easier to understand by what it predicts: A continuation marker predicts a reward. That’s it. It doesn’t change the circumstances, so if the dog is in a stay, they remain in the stay, and if the dog is not in a stay, then they remain free from the stay.
In contrast, we have the terminal markers (I like to use the word “free”). These release dogs from commanded positions as well as guaranteeing a reward. Ex.: If a dog was in a sitting position and you use your terminal marker, they are released from that position and will be given a reward (indicating the sit behavior is finished).
The stay is implied when we say the command. Check out this video on the stay command. th-cam.com/video/s5iD8eN89bo/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
Love your videos. How long and how many times a day should I be training ?
Thanks! th-cam.com/video/OvdKDE326gs/w-d-xo.html
Nate if Free has been used for something else could you suggest another word for a terminal marker please?
Yes, I would pick a different word or sound for the terminal marker in that situation. :)
I have a 10 week old GS who just lies down when I try to train with her. She's not food or toy motivated.
Do you have any tips about teaching your puppy from a wheelchair? I usually get on the floor with her but moving backwards for free is difficult. Just any tips for wheelchair users would be great! Love your videos. My puppy is responding so well and we just started 3 days ago.
Thanks! I'm happy the videos are helping. My biggest goal is to get people to understand the science of dog training. The art is being able to take that science and adjust according to your training style and the dog you're working with. For example, our terminal markers (my free word) just means release and reward. This is why I move back, to show the dog they are released to come get access to the reward. If you can't move back during this step, you could also toss the food to the side. So your dog looks at you, you then say free, then you toss the treat off to the side. The dog would have to get up to get the food, teaching him that free means he will be released and he'll get a reward.
I hope this helps and feel free to comment on a video again for any other questions.
@@NateSchoemer Thank you! That is a great suggestion. I will try it. I am working on training my own service dog so I will be following all of your videos.
@@triciawood2862 Hi Tricia- I'm an aspiring dog trainer and definitely want to learn how to work really effectively with people who are in wheelchairs. Can you (or Nate!) direct me to any resources where I can learn about the specific challenges of and creative options for doing so for "relationship-based"/"engagement-based" trainers?? I'd greatly appreciate it! Anything related to this really, would be great. TIA!!
When your teaching your puppy to sit how many weeks to switch into heel position?
I start teaching all the commands right from the start. It makes the sessions more fun for you and the pup. Also, each dog will learn at a different pace depending on multiple variables. Such as the dogs intelligence, motivation, perseverance, etc. So it's important to be able to adjust for each dog. This is the art of dog training. :)
Hey Nate, is it okay to be teaching sit, down, and stand all in the same training session? I have been trying to teach them all at once rotating between the 3 depending on the position that the dog is already in
Yes. In fact, I'll teach multiple commands during each session. Most sessions I'll be working on 10 commands or more.
How many days/weeks do you teach each command before moving on to the next command?
Once the dog is conditioned to the markers, I start teaching all the behaviors I would like the dog to perform and I progress at the speed the dog is learning at. Each dog is going to be different though, so keep that in mind. If that helps, maybe consider supporting my channel. Thanks! :) www.patreon.com/NateSchoemer
Hello Nate, I have a question. What do I do if my dogs know the sit command (without physical cue) but does not associate my continuation and terminal marker as a reward? I started watching your videos a little later and have been training them on sit, down, stay a lot but haven’t been doing my markers properly. Any advice?
Great question. Check out my video on engagement training. It will show you how to teach your dog the markers: th-cam.com/video/UkZ7ucpK9sc/w-d-xo.html
Nate, we’re getting a 8-week old Golden next week. I have watched many of your training videos and got some great information. I have had four dogs previously and the most recent we used clicker training and had pretty good success with that. Are you an advocate of this? Also why do you teach your dogs to jump up for a treat? Isn’t that “suggesting “ a bad behavior of jumping up on someone?
Thanks so much!!
The dog at 6:44 is that a german shepherd? I’m thinking of getting one of those 😁
She's a Malinois. I would recommend a GSD over a Malinois though, unless you plan on training non-stop. :)
I will! Thanks for the tip! 😉
Nate I’m just starting the training with my 9wk GSD and when he sees the kibble in my hand he will jump and bite my hand pretty aggressively with those sharp teeth. I’m trying to get him to be gentle and sometimes he can be but other times he barks at my hand and lunges and gets my hand or shirt when I lift it above his head to get him to sit. Any suggestions?
Have a leash and collar on the puppy. Then hold the leash in one hand with a part of the leash resting under your foot, so if he jumps up, the leash will stop him. Also, be sure not to add any tension on the leash when he is sitting nicely. Then slowly start to move your hand with a treat towards your puppy, if he jumps up, stop him with the leash and move the hand away. Then when he's sitting again, repeat the process. continue to do it until he stays sitting until the food reaches him. If he's aggressively biting at the food, then another trick is to hold the food in your fist. if he tries biting at the food, then the hand stays closed. Once he's being gentle, then slowly start to open the hand. Instantly close it again, if he starts to bite too hard. Repeat until he knows that he needs to take the food nicely. The idea is basic cause and effect. I hope this helps! :)
when I try to train my puppy she just lies down? Is there any way to resolve this
Yes, First, teach her leash pressure. Once she understands leash pressure then you can use it to fix this issue. When she goes to lay down, use the leash pressure to cue her into the sit. It works every time! :)

My dog is having trouble differentiating the continuation from the terminal marker, he doesn't stay in the sit/stay position when continuation marker is given. Any advice on how to solidify the difference between the two for him or is it just more repetition is needed for now?
Great question! When I'm first teaching the two markers, I don't worry about the dog staying in the position after I say the continuation marker, since the dog isn't in a stay. I just show the dog that I will be bringing the treat to the dog in place. I only make the dog stay in the position when I'm working on the stay command. You can see in my "Stay" video that the puppy breaks the stay after I say the yes marker. When that happens, the "no" overrides the "yes" and the puppy doesn't get the treat. Once they do it correctly, then I give them the reward. Rewatch the stay video and you'll see what I mean. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! :) th-cam.com/video/s5iD8eN89bo/w-d-xo.html
Nate Schoemer stay video
Bro what does continuation marker and terminal marker mean?
Continuation Marker: This is a sound that lets the dog know
they will be receiving a reward. Sound = Reward
Terminal Marker: This is a sound that lets your dog know
they will be receiving a reward, but it also guarantees a release.
Sound = reward & release.
Nate Schoemer thanks alot for replying bro! So basically continuation marker is YES as you teach and in other words it means the dog will stay in one place and i will give him treat going towards him and FREE means he has to come and get the treat from my hand?
What treats are you using?
Hi, Mark! Here are the treats that I'm using: amzn.to/2W88zMf
Hi! Why do you give the food after you release the dog not as soon as he sits? You are probably the only trainer I have personally ever seen do that...! Most of the time, people give the food as soon as the dog does the desired behavior, and then use their body to encourage the dog to move as they give the release command... In my mind, being released does not require reward, it's kind of a reward in itself... Is this maybe because of competitive obedience or something related to the stay command?
Hi! Great question! It just depends on which marker you use. If I use the continuation marker, I bring the reward to the dog. If I use the terminal marker, that predicts a reward and release. By using the terminal marker the dog will learn to do the behavior more quickly because the dog learns that the faster they do the behavior, the faster they get to jump up and get the reward. You can learn more about both markers here: th-cam.com/video/DUovsf3OnBU/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps and be sure to join my new Facebook group to continue learning how to train your dog with direct support from me and the rest of the community. :) facebook.com/groups/NateSchoemers/
@@NateSchoemer Thanks, I appreciate the reply!
Are there any tips in training a older puppy (about 7 month Shepard/pit mix) who is a rescue? He is kinda rambunctious (like a puppy lol)
These training techniques should work on any age dog. :)
I got a 4 month old Shepard/pit mix as a rescue and she learned using these. Pretty awesome. Watching again to try to pick up on what I missed the first time...
Hi Nate. Hi guys. Can anyone help? I have a pitbull puppy who is learning so fast and his obedience is amazing. He is 4 months old and does all basic commands. However the thing I struggle with is, when I take him out front in the street and I walk him just 2 houses away from mine. I walk him past this house that has a big dog. That dog barks and my puppy gets so scared he wants to run away. So what do I do in this case?
I would use counterconditioning and desensitization. I would walk him past the house on the other side of the street multiple times with food rewards until he became comfortable with the situation. As his confidence grows, then I would get closer to the house.
desensitization is the technique of making your dog less reactive to stimulus that would ordinarily cause a bad reaction, and is done by exposing the dog to the stimulus at a very low level until there is no response. Gradually, as you increase the stimulating environments, the dog will become non-reactive.
@@NateSchoemer Wow Nate. Thanks for the response and advice. I actually went out now and tried it. I did exactly what you said. I went on the opposite side of the road and just walked back and fourth a couple times and stood there to show him it's ok and he didnt even want the treats. His anxiety turned into curiosity. He is so adorable and clever that it worked like a charm immediately. I walk past that house with the big dog and my puppy walks with his chest out, ears up and he even walks toward the dog now without pulling on the leash. So I guess eventually with repetition he will put more attention on me when we walk past there. Amazing. Thanks so much Nate. Really really appreciate your response.
Love your video. How to teach the dog sit probably? I meant my dog doesn’t sit strait.... she sits lazily.
Great question. I'll be discussing this in my Q&A video tomorrow. Just check the description for where your question is located in the video. Thanks!
Hello Nate, first time seeing your videos and I love them! They are very informative. That is why they get so many likes. Definitely a sub from me. I just wanted to ask, however, if he question the girl above asked was ever answered in a video of yours? Maybe I am just missing it, but I didn't see a Q&A video after this in your uploads. Thanks in advance! ( nevermind I found it)
My dog don’t want to sit she just turn the head up and then she’s not more motivated with the threat :( what can i do?
I would also implement leash pressure training. You can see how to teach that here: th-cam.com/video/9L8tK7mSD10/w-d-xo.html
@@NateSchoemer thanks!! I’ll see it
I need to find a training treat that my dog actually likes. 8 week old GSD
These are the treats that I use and most dogs like them: amzn.to/2W88zMf
I use freeze dried liver.
Does training jiu-jitsu make you better at training dogs?
Haha! Maybe it helps a little with the coordination. :)
Sounds like you got put in a chokehold lol
I've been put in a few Chokeholds. Haha! Jiu Jitsu training will do that.
@@NateSchoemer Hahahaha
Why are you side stepping the dog lol
Not sure what you mean, but thanks for commenting! Lol!
@@NateSchoemer Np, what I meant was when he came you pivoted to the side and dodged him as if you were slaping a knife away
Not if it’s a dachshund. Butt doesn’t follow nose.
