Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
This helped me train my collie so much easier! I’ve watched multiple videos to teach my dog sit pretty but she always either falls over or doesn’t hold it, she can actually hold the position now which is a great improvement!
The trainer is so pro that it makes it look so easy. My puppy is 2 and half months and can already play dead but sit pretty is hard on his muscles. will begin taking baby steps and the suggestion to make them sit properly is very good too. Thanks
This video has really helped me with my cross breed dog Jack he is a 6 year old Border Collie/ German Shepherd. For years he would go unwalked and knew nothing but the back yard. no mental training or physical either. one month ago i took him off my parents hands who obviously could not handle the whining and the high energy of him. Now he goes' for 5 walks a day all lasting for 30 mins apart from his "big" walk of an hour. i have taught him spin, walk by my side, play dead and currently working on sit pretty. this channel has gave me confidence to train him, so thank you.
Thank you! This was very helpful. I've been trying to teach my cattle dog pup to "sit pretty" before a "wait" every day while giving him breakfast for weeks/months. It unintentionally evolved from him using my hand to balance during the "paw" or "shake" command. He recently started trying it without support from my hand but slips sometimes on our tile floor. I didn't realize I could be causing him damage by not providing him more traction first or making sure he's sitting straight with his feet planted symmetrically.
My first dog was a mixed breed (german shepherd and some kind of sighthound, perhaps whippet, probably other stuff too) and it was very easy to teach her this trick so it never occurred to me that it might be difficult for dogs to do. Then I got my second dog, a (mostly) boston terrier (a little frenchie's in there too), and I saw when I tried to teach her this that she couldn't maintain the balance to do it. I could tell it was because of how she was sitting, she seemed to actually roll back on her bottom instead of resting on her heels like my other dog, but I figured this was just an anatomical issue since she's so rounded and sausage shaped instead of proper dog shaped, so I just gave up on it. It never occurred to me that I could try to teach her to sit differently.
Excellent training video for sit pretty. Thank you for breaking it down step by step to help the dog be successful. I am looking forward to seeing my dog sit pretty.
Love this video & send it to my clients all the time for dogs who hurt me when they jump excitedly. Building those doggy abs helps so much & takes the strain off their ACL/legs, they can even take treats more nicely since they don’t have to grab them as they’re falling.
Great training video! I loved how you broke down into small, easy to teach, steps, very thorough! Also interesting to hear the benefits of this trick; building up the dogs core. Im having fun learning with my 6 month old Mini Aussie.
My 1 year old Volpino italiano couldn't keep his balance so I thought we had to give up on this trick completely. Watching your video was very helpful, now I let him put one of his paws on the hand I hold the treat with and with that little help he finds the perfect balance. One hour training and we master it pretty good, with a daily training and patience, hopefully we can get perfect. Thank you very much!
Very cute and a great reminder to recheck, retrain and reproof and I love standing behind them for support, that is a great technique to have someone check their bellies that they are okay like when a doc needs to examine them if they are okay. Blessings, the dogs are too cute.
This is great! Prior to watching this I got her to do the trick with the lure but wasn't sure how to get her to do it without. Something to work on tomorrow :)
my little italian greyhound/chihuahua mix still needs time to get this down. he still falls over and cant quite balance himself. this has helped a lot for future steps though!!
Thanks for adding that they have to build their abs first 😩 my standard poodle is new to learning the trick so she’s using my arm to support her weight. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.
Do you think a dog with the lower back leg missing could she do this to help build her up? Do you think she can do it without the last limb being there? Thanks for teaching us all these kinds of things.
P.S. Emily--you are a woman after my own heart. I too, have rescue 4 dogs, and they are a somewhat similar assortment to yours: a border collie, and aussie, a terrier mix, and a Havanese/terrier mix. Thanks for all the excellent positive training info!
That hug at the end!! Wow, another great video 🤩. Not to dis Zack George but your videos are so much more thorough. Really appreciate that and now I can more confidently (and consistently) get my pups to sit pretty! And maybe some of those other tricks later down the line😉
Well, my videos are just like informational educational videos, they are not meant to be entertainment. So a lot of people do bug me to smile and make the videos more entertaining, but its just not my style.
hehe, i always just gently took the paws of my dog and lifted them, said the command, then she got a treat. after ten times of this i said the command and she did it alone xD but very nice tutorial, i'll do it like that if my next dog if my method won't work ^^ and you have beautiful dogs :) i love how different they are
The difference is she allows to the dog to offer her the behavior which builds a different relationship with the dog. She does not force but allows the dog to choose to give the behavior and she works at the pace of the dog's ability not on her agenda's time frame. I've found her approach extremely helpful for teaching my dog to trust me and to want to please me by doing these kinds of actions but I believe in allowing the dog to offer .
Great video Kiki! I am going to be working on building the muscles for a while, especially since my dog is only 6 months. And then build the behavior up! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your great videos. I have taught my border collie, Kaylie, to sit pretty but she is only doing it for the lure. As soon as the lure disappears she quits doing it without a release cue. If I raise the treat up she stands up on her hind legs. I will try what you say about offering an empty hand and giving her the treat from my other hand. Thank you! Your videos are wonderful! Keep them coming!
Hi! I’m so glad I stumbled on this video and your channel and website etc. love this style of teaching. I was wondering if you could share which clicker(s) and treats you like to use for training? Thanks!! Just adopted and rescued my latest fur baby from a shelter. Pom/papillon type - She’s so calm, loving, smart and the sweetest and somewhat trained but her separation anxiety is the worst I’ve ever experienced with a dog. Working on it. Hope you have some videos in that topic too! Thank you for sharing this way/style with the world 🙏🏻💛🐾
Hi, do you think it's okay to teach this trick to a long (or short legged) dog or would it be bad for their back? I'd love to teach it but wouldn't want her to have problems because of it. It's not as extreme as with a dachshund or corgi but still longer back/shorter legs than of a "regular" dog. Some say it's bad for those kind of dogs but then again it builds muscles
I noticed how all the dogs in the video had tails. Does it tend to be a bit more challenging with a dog that has a no tail aka DOCKED? My aussie's tail is docked so I know she has less balance than a ton of other dogs, and makes it more difficult
Awesome! Selma already knows the trick and it's her absolute favourite trick to perform. I never did know of the benefits it had though, but that just makes it all the more awesome. I might try and teach Lykke it. :)
great video the only problem I'm having is that my dog wont let me stand behind her to support her doing the trick. Is there any advice you could give me thanks
My dog has learned so many things from your instructions. Could you tell me how to teach my dog how to jump off of something into my arms? She knows how to jump into my arms from the ground but I don't know how to teach it with her jumping off of an object into my arms.
Can I ask if that trick is OK for dog with a bad hip? I'm doing all sorts of things for balance, coordination and strenght. but i'm not sure for that trick if it would be OK?
Do you have any tips about if your dog sees the cue as a cue to jump up, out of the sit? I'm currently marking when he raises his front paws as part of the jump but I'm not sure whether that's making it worse, or whether he'll eventually get what I'm really asking him?
My little guy Bentley tends to just jump up all the way regardless of the height of the treat. He does know “up” generally means to go all the way up, but I’m having some trouble figuring out how to help him differentiate between what I want. Any tips?
Is there a size limit that might prevent a dog from learning this trick? My dog is a year old, so still going to be gaining weight. He's about 28" tall and 65 pounds and has really long legs. I've not seen a dog quite as big as him do this trick.
Wow! You are so amazing! I love how you explain! It actually makes sense the way to explain it! Really, you are an amazing and awesome trainer! 1 million thumbs up! You know so much and are really good at telling us how to train! Also, I love how to give more than one way to train!
Hi Kikopup, thanks for the wonderful tutorial. My pup has been checked by a vet and is healthy, yet when I try to do this trick with her she watches my hand and the lure for 20 seconds or so, and then she jumps up and holds on to my arm, even though she doesn't need to jump to get the treat. She doesn't take her feet off the ground until she jumps. I'd really appreciate any tips to mitigate what I am doing wrong if that's possible!
Its a great idea to teach a strait sit, so the back legs build up muscles equally. You can do this by asking for the sit or luring the sit, and if the dog sits to the side, as you go to give the treat, hold it high above the head so the dog reaches up for it and straitens out his back legs to be strait. I suggest beginning with sit pretty with paws rested on your arm.
I have a question about the behaviour of my Dog while we are in a Training lesson. He learns very fast and only 2 minutes After seeing your Video he was already doing it pretty well. But he is Never calm in an exercise. He looks always like he is in hurry. And it is Really Not possible for me to get him as Quiet as your dogs. He is a seven month old border Collie male. Maybe iam doing something wrong or he is just Really excitet about Learning new stuff. I try to calm him with my words and i hold him for a Second. Then he calms a Bit down. And in the Moment i say he's a Good Boy, he Jumps up and he is overexcitet again.
i have a question what if your dog doesn't fall for the lure? My dog has fairly strong legs and spine and shes able to stand for quite a bit but will not follow the lure into the sit pretty position

I feel like shes the only one who actually admits that their dog already knows that trick xD
Omg! When they went hugging each other😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
What an adorable group of dogs
Thanks!
i loved at the end when they hugged each other
This helped me train my collie so much easier! I’ve watched multiple videos to teach my dog sit pretty but she always either falls over or doesn’t hold it, she can actually hold the position now which is a great improvement!
Yay!
Hey when you first started would she lift up for literally a split second then fall back down? I'm training my BC and currently at this step
My jack russell taught herself this trick at 8 weeks.
She just started to sit pretty when she was pegging for food, haha.
Awe :) I bet she's cute when she does it too
the end was precious :D
Thanks!
The way your dog looks at you at the beggining is magical !
Exactly the video I needed, thank you. The bonus tricks at the end are ridiculous!
The trainer is so pro that it makes it look so easy.
My puppy is 2 and half months and can already play dead but sit pretty is hard on his muscles. will begin taking baby steps and the suggestion to make them sit properly is very good too. Thanks
BEST dog training channel on TH-cam!
Thanks!

The dog hug end ❤️
Omg!!! The hugging part is so awesome!! Imma teach my French bulldog and my Malinois to hug each other now!! Haha
Thank you! This was very helpful. I've been trying to teach my cattle dog pup to "sit pretty" before a "wait" every day while giving him breakfast for weeks/months.

Just gota belgian mallinois and cant wait to start teaching her!
How exciting! Congrats!!!
I'm currently teaching my 13 week old bc puppy this & he's catching on so fast 🤩
kelbie snipes most border collies learn so quick
The large number of tips in this video is fantastic. Didn't realize how much I was missing or doing wrong. Thank-you!
Good tips. I use her trick with supporting them with my arm.
ive only seen you a little but I love you as a trainer. and I did manage to do something with my mop to get him to take treats when I have it. x
oh thats great you got your dog motivated for treats!
@@kikopup I have tried before, but tit is a deep seated fear. I just want him to feel ok.
This is great! Prior to watching this I got her to do the trick with the lure but wasn't sure how to get her to do it without. Something to work on tomorrow :)
2020..good for beginners like me
Hope my puppy can do..😘 thank you
7:18 IM GONNA DIE
Its cute 😎😁but I wish my dog did that
my little italian greyhound/chihuahua mix still needs time to get this down. he still falls over and cant quite balance himself. this has helped a lot for future steps though!!
You can practice the trick say your prayers where he rests his paws on your arm to begin with :)
Thanks for adding that they have to build their abs first 😩 my standard poodle is new to learning the trick so she’s using my arm to support her weight. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.
"Meerkat" funny I like it lol
Tug catching that ball is just adorable!
My dog already knows how to stand on her hind legs, will these tricks interfer her learning sit pretty?
The last part is so cute!
Ive never seen a dog catch a ball like that ! that's awesome thanks for the videos
he is sooo focused on you, good jobb!!
you always seem to know just what I am wanting to start teaching my Berner. Thanks!
Do you think a dog with the lower back leg missing could she do this to help build her up? Do you think she can do it without the last limb being there? Thanks for teaching us all these kinds of things.
My
Dog is
Doing amazing she is border collie mix
And she is already starting to sit pretty I just need to fade out the treats
You are a great trainer, I don't know how you pulled off the hugging trick.
I have a video on how to train it on my Facebook Page Dogmantics
P.S. Emily--you are a woman after my own heart. I too, have rescue 4 dogs, and they are a somewhat similar assortment to yours: a border collie, and aussie, a terrier mix, and a Havanese/terrier mix. Thanks for all the excellent positive training info!
NIce! I can't wait for our foster Pit Charlotte to learn this!
im trying to train my puppy charlie some tricks or things that help while walking outside. right now he knows how to sit and to heel
Thats a great start!
Love your vidéos this one is just what 1 wanted to train my 1 year old BC to sit pretty thanks.
Thanks! :) Happy training!
That hug at the end!! Wow, another great video 🤩. Not to dis Zack George but your videos are so much more thorough. Really appreciate that and now I can more confidently (and consistently) get my pups to sit pretty! And maybe some of those other tricks later down the line😉

u are very good trainer i m from Pakistan and i following your trick's thank you
Thanks so much! You answered all the questions that come up in each step of the process!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Good luck with the trick!
hehe, i always just gently took the paws of my dog and lifted them, said the command, then she got a treat. after ten times of this i said the command and she did it alone xD

Great breakdown as always!
Thanks!
I need to get another dog just so I can teach them to hug each other like that last trick haha
Thanks
Thank you for commenting :)
Nice! You are awesome helper for people who has a dog!
Awww so nicely done and explained. Thanks for sharing
You are so precise and acurate in your steps. Thank you!
how do you teach them to hug
My dog did this when I asked for his paw, he gave both😂
clever!
Great video Kiki! I am going to be working on building the muscles for a while, especially since my dog is only 6 months. And then build the behavior up! Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Amazing tutorial as always. We will try 'Sit pretty' this week..
Tnx from algeria
Thanks for your great videos. I have taught my border collie, Kaylie, to sit pretty but she is only doing it for the lure. As soon as the lure disappears she quits doing it without a release cue. If I raise the treat up she stands up on her hind legs. I will try what you say about offering an empty hand and giving her the treat from my other hand. Thank you! Your videos are wonderful! Keep them coming!
How do you phase out using your arm for balance? Is that just something that happens with more practice and as they develop the core strength?
Beautiful instructions
I love your videos very easy to understand
Hi! I’m so glad I stumbled on this video and your channel and website etc. love this style of teaching. I was wondering if you could share which clicker(s) and treats you like to use for training?

you method is amazing i follow you and watch all your video from sicily
oh thank you very much :)
I tuoi video sono sempre meravigliosi e istruttivi. Vorrei tanto i sottotitoli in italiano. Grazie.

Love this trick. I've been trying to teach my pup this for over 3 months and he still uses me for support. How do I get him to do it on his own
Go back to using a piece of food to lure.
My dog has learned so many things from your instructions. Could you tell me how to teach my dog how to jump off of something into my arms? She knows how to jump into my arms from the ground but I don't know how to teach it with her jumping off of an object into my arms.

My little guy Bentley tends to just jump up all the way regardless of the height of the treat. He does know “up” generally means to go all the way up, but I’m having some trouble figuring out how to help him differentiate between what I want. Any tips?
when phasing out the lure, I keep the lure in my "action" hand, but deliver a treat from the other hand. :)
Love this! Will try it from behind her, right now she mostly jumps or lifts her butt instead of just her paws. Any tips to keep her bottom planted?
Is there a size limit that might prevent a dog from learning this trick? My dog is a year old, so still going to be gaining weight. He's about 28" tall and 65 pounds and has really long legs. I've not seen a dog quite as big as him do this trick.

my dog don't have it's tail can he learn this tric and u r just superb!!!!..
Yes you can! My schnauzer can do it and his tail has been cropped!
WHOOOAAAAA. I REALLY NEED TO WORK ON FETCH, BUT THIS IS JUST COOL... I'MA DO IT
Hi Kikopup, thanks for the wonderful tutorial.

She doesn't take her feet off the ground until she jumps.
I'd really appreciate any tips to mitigate what I am doing wrong if that's possible!
Thank you for another great lesson! My corgi is 3 months old. What age is safe to start this? I noticed he sits with both legs to one side

Æzoo Shana why so many ppppppps in approaching
#Crystal Moonlight I love your videos very easy to understand @Chris Baarstad
Congratulations, your videos are very good, and I can see you really care for your dogs, you are very cute.
I have a question about the behaviour of my Dog while we are in a Training lesson. He learns very fast and only 2 minutes After seeing your Video he was already doing it pretty well. But he is Never calm in an exercise. He looks always like he is in hurry. And it is Really Not possible for me to get him as Quiet as your dogs.
He is a seven month old border Collie male. Maybe iam doing something wrong or he is just Really excitet about Learning new stuff. I try to calm him with my words and i hold him for a Second. Then he calms a Bit down. And in the Moment i say he's a Good Boy, he Jumps up and he is overexcitet again.
How do you differentiate the hand signal for sit and sit pretty?
i have a question what if your dog doesn't fall for the lure? My dog has fairly strong legs and spine and shes able to stand for quite a bit but will not follow the lure into the sit pretty position
My dog always jumps up and tries do eat my hand whenever I start to move my hand upwards. What can I do to prevent that?
Keep the treat pressed to the dog's mouth, rather than nose.
Thank you so much it took a while for me to understand some of this cuz my house is loud but it go quiet then yay
You are amazing! This has helped me a lot, thank you 😊
Can smaller dogs do this trick? Like shih tzus?
Seriously love your content, thank youuuuu!
Thank you I'm going to try and get behind my pup. He puts his arms on my arms instead of up in the air
about how long did it teach your dog to learn how to do this
Cool training
Thanks!
