"Touch" and "Go Touch" Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มี.ค. 2016
- "Touch" and "go touch" are commands that I have transferred over to many tasks Harlow performs. "Touch" refers to a nose bump on my body while "go touch" indicates Har to nose bump a target (away from my body).
"Don't lick the wall... Weirdo." My favorite part!
this is kinda heartbreaking, seeing how much better you are in this video than your recent ones
PLEASE make more of these! I love them soon much :)
She is such a beautiful dog.
Can you do a video on how you got Harlow to heel?
I think you're a lifesaver, I have a puppy I plan to train as a service dog because of my chronic pain and illness. Right now I'm just potty training and manners. I find your videos are the most helpful. Thank you for making them for us.
I love your training tutorials.
QUESTION: You mentioned blue is the color dogs see the best. . . . I had done some research out of curiosity years ago and I had learned it was shades of pink, or, reddish more on the pink side.
..... I wish I knew where you learned about blue ! ?
You and har are so funny together I love your videos! Great job
Love your videos and Harlow is adorable! The video about flying with your dog was terrific and really clarified some questions I had. It's great that you're doing this. Thanks!
I am so thank you for these dog training videos. I have two dogs and each one has their special areas to help. One thing I can not figure out is how to teach them how to bow (with their rear staying up). Zoey is an Alaskan husky with a mellow heart, and Lucky is one now, a yellow labX crazy boy. He is extremely intelligent also, but that can sometimes make him question me. I need some helpful hints on how to teach Lucky to bow (your “Namaste” ) without his rear end going down also. My command I use is “bow”.
Thank you so much! Already Lucky is good at getting my socks for me and knows a lot of the names of items to retrieve; although he sometimes drops things at my feet or tosses them to me. haha. I walk with a cane, so the touch command will be helpful! Looking forward to that! Again Jaquie, thanks! Joann in NH
I've been following you for awhile but I just found your training videos. I'm super excited to use your advice to train my new dog.
Can you do a video on how you taught the "With Me" or heel, I'm getting my puppy soon and I want to know how u taught Harlow, b/c she is so good at it. 😄
Great job Harlow!!
I want to train a service dog for my psychiatric disabilities and this is perfect for medicine reminders and making sure I get up and out on time. Love these videos, I will definitely be investing in a clicker
Keep up with the training vids. They are very well done and informative
Thank You soooo much for all your great training videos! We learn heaps from your demonstrations!!!! Totally different SEEING how the training is done (rather than just reading it in the workbooks). SO, A HUGE THANKYOU & Much Luv from Yoshi (and his human, Niki xx)... We are working on this task and will upload a video once we have 'nailed it'!! :)
Hi Jackie!
I've been following your Instagram for a while now and am so happy to see you have a youtube channel! Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences with training and showing us how you do things! I'm owner training my service dog as well and your videos have been super helpful!
Thank you a bunch & please keep making more videos! I could use all the tips & tricks I can get! ^.^
When training "touch" what do you do if your dog keeps trying to lick your hand instead?
why does Harlow act so funny when you get her to work on things she does know now?
Thank you for the Great video
OMG SO CUUUUUUUUTTTTEEEEE!!!!😍😍😍😍
Thanks, this was nice and clear and precise without being overwhelming. What types of treats do you use? We have become aware of unsafe things in a lot of treats and was being educated by Dr Dobias on youtube on these things. We are concerned because we keep hearing how service dogs have such a short servuce life and I have seen healthy active dogs much older than 6-8 years of age, any thoughts or recommendations on this?
My dog is afraid of clickers.
Amazig! I'm deff going to work on this more with Reba she knows touch! But I'm glad to know theirs another option to teach her for closing a door and to teach to close with her nose at a higher level
+Heether Trudell I love that Harlow can close the door with her nose! No scratch marks = happy me! Kitchen cabinets and handicap buttons can also be pushed with their nose.
+Helper Dog Harlow yea my parents don't like the paw marks lol but Reba had been progressing the way youve shown!
How do you get hippo to give you the blanket btw love your vids keep it up ily❤️💚💓💗😇😃
I absolutely love your videos. I'm training my first service dog partially myself, but sometimes I can't work with him for a period of time and he seems to forget what we had down just a week or two before, or he's very stubborn and won't listen during some training sessions. I work extra hard with him to get him back on track, but loose leash walking, and heeling are things he just isn't picking back up, and the bigger he gets, the harder it is to take him out for practice when all he does is yank me around. Do you maybe have any tips?
Much appreciated!
We love your videos! We'd also like to see a tail tuck tutorial!
+Anna Bobo I am so glad you like my videos! I would be happy to do a tail tucking video, just as soon as Harlow is a little further along with it. She is still struggling a bit to learn that one!
Where did you get your shroll thing from its bueatifull
what brand of treats do you use?
this is so cool! im ready as heck to get a new dog and start teaching it this stuff :') i dont need a service dog or anything tho, i just want it for days that im lazy or want a cool party trick i guess
I think these are going to be invaluable to me, thank you. I am at that point that I think a SD could enhance my life, but I can't afford to go through a program and pay thousands of dollars. In fact, I live on disability because of my chronic illness. My only other option is to acquire my own dog through the shelter or from local sources and train it myself (this will also help me train my other dogs who are pets and brats lol).
I have been stressing about that possibility because I have only the most basic of training skills but I think your videos will help me a lot.
If you don't mind answering a question...how did you get/find Harlow? Was she a small puppy or was she a bit older? Did you have to go through the preliminary stuff like house breaking before you could even begin training her to assist you?
Also, how do you handle/interact with friends or family who don't like dogs or have allergies and won't allow her in their homes? Obviously, their wishes in their own private spaces should be protected, yet Harlowe's assistance is so very important to you.
Another option for getting them to touch your hand is to put a treat in between your middle finger and your ring finger😁
After you've mastered her touching the blue dot on the wall, do you then transition to moving the dot to other places around the house for her to go touch? Then transition to taking blue dots in public for her to go touch specific things? Eventually transitioning to no blue dot? I'm trying to figure out how I would transition from using the blue dots on the wall - to having this be an actual task without blue dots needed.
How can i get a service dog can you help me get one I'm a diabetic I need help to get a service dog .
I want to teach my dog to close the door so am trying to teach my dog to “touch” but he just licks my hand. I originally clicked and gave a treat for that since you said any interest in your hand, but now he thinks the command is he is supposed to lick my hand. What do I do now lol?
I miss you.
So much.
If I am trying to train my pup how to touch/nudge persistently when I am beginning to experience anxiety (example: a shaking hand) would I use this method but have him touch a shaking hand with the blue dot on it?
+Vanessa Gallardo I would simply have him "touch" your hand when you begin to shake it, without using a blue dot. The dot is more for targeting. Practice by shaking your hand, replicating as much as you can the way you shake when you become anxious, and have your dog "touch." Slowly phase out your voice command so the cue becomes your physical motion.
Just found your videos. My pup is only 8 months old, so he's still just starting out and learning slowly. Do you have any suggestions on refining a touch so that it's only the nose? My boy has an annoying habit of doing his first touch perfectly, with his nose, and then he gets excited, and has a happy open mouthed pant going... Which for some reason causes his aim to be completely off, and my hand ends up inside his mouth every time! It's like he's trying to hit my hand with the middle of his mouth, rather than his nose. I do what I can to not react, not reward, reset, and try again, but he hasn't seemed to grasp it. He just gets more insistent and shoves my hand further into his mouth! LOL Which when you're trying to break puppy nibbling habits, is counter productive. So we've taken a break from training for it, since it's not one he needs yet, we'll pick it up again when he's more mature/less mouthy but any pointers for a stubborn puppy would be appreciated if I happen to need him to learn it sooner.
I'm really excited that you started doing videos!! It would be really cool to see a video where you talk about some struggles you dealt with when you were first starting with Harlow. I am partially owner training my first service dog and there doesn't seem to be any real videos out there about the difficult parts of training and what to expect!!
P.S. I was able to teach my dog touch using your method in a single training session. I'm excited to move on to funky objects with my girl.
+Emily Wright That is an excellent idea for a video! I will definitely make one detailing the struggles of owner training, because there are quite a few things I could discuss. Thank you for the idea, and I am glad my videos are helping you!
What do you use to edit your videos? I love Harlow. She is absolutely beautiful.
+Raising_Servicedogs Vlog Movie Maker for Windows! It is very easy to use.
Do you use high value treats or kibble???
+Rachel Meehan Harlow uses kibble. If you need high value treat suggestions, I would go with Natural Balance food logs, cut up into cubes. But keep in mind, dogs don't magically start behaving because of a particular treat. It is the training and determination of the handler that makes the difference.
You used the laser pointer for a while too, do you just like sticky notes better?
+Caroline and Chloe I also used a laser pointer! However, I found that the light was not strong enough to be seen (even by myself) when outside. So I prefer the blue dots, and eventually Harlow will no longer need them for targeting handicap buttons. The blue dots I use in the home are stationary.
What is the clicker used for?
The noise signals to the dog that he did what was asked....or at leastt came closer to completing the task.
How often do you and Harlow train?
+Rachel Meehan We have training everyday. I can't give an exact number because so much depends on my health, schooling and other obligations on any given day, but I try to turn most things into a training experience. For example, we need eggs. Instead of having someone else go to the store, I opt to do so in order to get Harlow some extra public access training.
My dog licks walls too hahahhaha
Not often but I find it weird too :-)
This was super helpful to train my dog. I was thinking about a “paw Push” command for those public handicapped door opening discs as my dog naturally used her front paws a LOT (Aussie Shepherd cross rescue)
How old is Harlow in this video?
Really really benefitted from this video! I also have a chronic illness & some dog training experience.
I subscribed & am going to watch more of your videos. Thanks! 😸
pattisonenterprises sadly there won’t be anymore videos. Jacque died.
0:48 I didn't know that.
12:36 I don't even understand what you said there.
I am training my puppy to be my service dog for asthma
Sophie the service puppy Yay asthma isn't a disability :/
Great job Harlow!!
