Using Daily Quickies To Fast Track Your Dog Training And Grow Your Dog's Skills

- In August 2021, I released a special video about my dog, This!, titled “Normalizing Imperfection in Dog Training”, covering our challenges so that everyone with a dog knows that struggling at some point in life together is completely normal. In that video, I encouraged everyone to take daily action to make tomorrow better than today for you and your dog. It doesn’t mean blocking out big chunks of time. Dog training with “Daily Quickies” is how I get so much accomplished without having long dog training sessions, and in this episode, I’m covering how easy it can be so that you can put it into action.

Oh I’m so excited I found this🙏🙌🏻🫶🏼
My side being a good place has been life saving.
I do daily quickies multiple times a day. Several in the morning using breakfast as a reward, followed by crate training (it’s a slow process but better each day) the game is “spoon in your crate!” The spoon has some soft food on it and I give it to him once he’s settled in crate with door closed. I’m increasing the time each day. Now he runs in on his own and soon I’ll add a kong for longer duration. Outside I play search and tug and retrieve games. In the day it’s loose leash walking and night a variety of tricks and games. I adopted Mylo in June. He was so wild and reactive and unpredictable, I was truly concerned this would be his and my life. Until I found your channel!!! 😊 thank you!
Great comment! Especially the part about slow, but daily progress. This training is definitely turning out to be more about me than my dog. I get so easily discouraged, and while I would never take out my frustrations on my dog, she can of course, sense when I stop having fun. I love Susan’s training philosophy so much, and I agree with it all. I’m sure I need to be more consistent. I probably just need to go back to the basics.
I use the quickies. I call it doodling. It makes such a difference.
Thanks Susan, making training accessible and easy for all. Our family enjoy playing, 'find the toy or food', my dog is so brilliant at this now, my children can hide his frisbee, upstairs, under the duvet, in one of the bedrooms and he still finds it in minutes or outside under something. He is amazing, 😀 tail showing his approval! We challenge him sometimes by asking for another cue before sending him to find his toy/food.
I would love my dogs to be more relaxed when people come to the door. I’ve been working on the latest podcast on barking but it’s still difficult to get them to relax when someone comes into the house.
I didn't realize that I was doing this, but I've been doing this all along!! Anytime I want to give my dogs a treat, we do something. We play all sorts of the games. I need to be more intentional and work on more husband activity training.
I feel so silly-- it's completely obvious to work on the tiny part of just exiting the front door....
I've been trying to get loose lead walking on the sidewalk in front of my house.
And just.... ignoring? the pulling to get out there 😅
I lumped on accident!
Thanks for the great advice yet again!!
I can definitely split more to get better, faster results!
Thanks, Susan & Say Yes Team! Before being released to her breakfast, Nellie does hand targets. Min gets a round of collar grab when I wake up in the morning.
That's awesome, Nanette! Thank you for sharing
Yes! Love this SO much!❤
We've been doing this since we joined Recallers and it has made All the difference.
Not only does it build our connection and make training sessions easier but it gives us a win every single day👍🏻
I call this "kettle training", for as long as the kettle is boiling for my coffee, I'm doing training on the kitchen floor :D
My pup can't really handle more than ten mins of training at a time so most of our training is this kind of quick format. I was naturally doing one review session where we review everything she knows, one handling session, one new/current thing session. Sometimes i mix it up and do new stuff with review stuff too. I'm adding a confidence building session in now too thanks to this video. We do 40 mins per day on the low end already, much more if you count the sit and wait during play sessions and I'm hoping to grow how long she can focus but she's still pretty young and it's more important to keep her engaged and getting consistent wins. She's really growing into a great dog and a lot of your videos have definitely helped.
Hi Susan and Team. Thanks so much for this wonderful potcast.
Thank you so much for listening!
I’d like to add I started yard agility as well and when the weather is good again I intend on making it a daily game as long as he enjoys it !!
Can I come live with you for about a year, of course I’ll bring my un trained dog😂👏🙌🏻🙏 I need training so bad.😳these are the very best videos! Thank you❤️👏🌟🦴
Totally makes sense! This house is all about Quick training sessions all day! Just did one with Toggle while watching a podcast! Can you choose to chill, while I stand at the counter....he chose "Frog"...paid it, made out for a much calmer 10 minutes with the Chihuahua mix! This is a reminder for me to pick more specific behaviors needed by each dog that can be worked in a short amount of time that will add up in the long run!
Anytime I want to give a treat or engage my dog, I do this. This podcast will help me be a little more intentional about it. Thanks! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Thanks Susan. This podcast is very helpful, especially the quickies. I have rehomed a high energy 15 month old Labrador - Phoenix, who has had no training from his previous owner. I have been overwhelmed by the training needed for him .....its like......There is so much to do, What is the most important training to do first? Now I can see that I can train 2 or 3 things as Quickies. He comes to work with me, so I can do quickies in my coffee and lunch break, which also gives a different environment. I am enrolled on both Recallers and Home School the Dog. Already I am seeing moments of calmness. That is causing me another problem, cuz when he is calm, I wonder if he is ill !!!
I've been a student of Susan since at the end of July 2021 when my dog was almost one year old. I am happy watching this episode today because I believe we have been doing exactly what she described in this video everyday up to now without thinking it was a "training". My dog is happy to have the nail trimmed and waits for me to brush his teeth everyday. Our loose leash walking and recalls are pretty good. I have been beating myself up for not being good at planning training sessions, but now encouraged enough to get going. Thank you very much! :)
YES! As a former dog groomer, a dog well conditioned to grooming has a much more enjoyable experience than the dog that's dragged to the groomer only when their coat is a mess. 🙄
Now I have been watching your videos for weeks now and today I noticed I wasn't subscribed that... Changed that quickly. You give me so much to think about with those podcasts, I feel like I learn a lot, but sometimes I also feel a little stupid 🙈
Another gem of a podcast 🐾💕
Love this! We’ve been doing quickies for quite a while since I am gone for long hours now. It gives us connection and strengthens behaviors.
This video gives me an even better idea how to pick games that improve behaviors I would like to improve! Thank you!
Thanks Susan this makes so much sense - I have become a member of home school the dog - I have an 11 week old male Aussie who is very head strong and determined. I am hoping to learn how to train him without losing his enthusiasm or zest for life
We are so glad you found us! Thank you for wanting to do your best for your dog
Excellent advice. I have been adding "Daily Quickies" just prior to watching this episode, so it resonated with me strongly as well as helping me plan them. I do a more "formal" (but fun) training session once a day but these add value to those moments that are suddenly presented where you have the opportunity to positively interact with your dog.
This is so helpful. My A-Ha! realization was thinking of these projects in 3 categories, and linking the practice to MY habits. I'll check back in a month...
Have been doing this all along but not in a organized manner, thankyou for the time and energy you put into these. There are a lot of happier dogs out there because of you❤️🐶❤️ M y puppy is perfect and she’s been very patient with me. She thinks the vet and groomers are play dates😊
Big ' Thank you' xxx
Thanks for these podcasts!
Thank you, Cindy!
Fabulous!
What an amazing educational channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making it so accessable
Glad you enjoy it, Jaylen, thank you!
I do quickies every day and I’ve got my 18yo to do quickies every day. Favourites are collar grab with the tiny dog(rescue from violence). Kelpies get it’s yer choice . I might do them 3/4 times to calm everyone and helps me focus. I’m a Recallers member too.
🤣🤣 we do this at my meals but I never named it. The scraps of egg or sandwich crust or whatever gets 3-10 reps of something ❤️❤️
I loved this episode! I have a dog thats anxious and I really want to focus on him being comfortable in his own skin. Can you please give some examples of games to play to do this? I have things I want to train in the other categories too (nail trimming, loose leash walking) and I know how to break them down into quickies, but I'm struggling with coming up with quickies for my dogs confidence/optimism. I'm a student in HSTD, Pedicure Please, and Wag Nation so I have access to those games as well. Thank you!
Hi, and thank you! ❤️ You can use the foundational games of HSTD for your daily quickies to grow your dog's confidence in small sessions and in different areas of the house or during walks: IYC, Collar Grab, Treat Diving, Hand Targets, Hot Zone... Happy training!
Absolutely love your videos! I am a new fur baby owner l, she is 4 months old!
So much information not sure where to start!
Hi Julie, thank you and congrats on your pup! 💕 If you haven't watched yet, our Puppy Essentials playlist is a great resource: th-cam.com/play/PLphRRSxcMHy2hywpv3Md3HbWWPPbVF8W5.html
I love your podcasts! You are absolutely amazing! Do you allow other trainers to come learn from you in person?
Hi Amanda, thank you so much for your kind words. That's something you could ask our team at wag@dogsthat.com 🐕
@@DogsThat thank you so much!
Susan, what would be a good way to "mark" a desired behavior with a deaf dog?
Thanks for another helpful podcast! My dog is super excited with visitors, I find it hard to practice this without enough repetition, I would need to throw a party! Any tips on what I could do daily to manage this?
So, throw a party ! Invite one friend to dinner, but they must help train at the door when they first get there. Then again before meal, & one more time after dinner (before dessert !) Remember to cut back on Fido's dinner due to food rewards !
Each weekend a new friend ! ;)
@@m.maclellan7147 that's not a feasible or a reasonable solution. I don't want to invite people and not be able to pay them any attention because I have to manage my dog. And then what? How many weeks would I do this? The amount of party throwing it would take would be too much I'm afraid. I'm looking for daily small things that could be helpful
Hi @Isabelle Gauthier, thank you for your lovely note. We have a playlist for greetings with tips and strategies to help - th-cam.com/play/PLphRRSxcMHy3KQXSC-3IzEdBgBetrl2YP.html
Love the concept… but maybe a different term/name? Speaking as a teacher of teenagers 😂
have you used a head halter on Tater ?
Hi Susan, yes, Tater wears a head halter, and you can see him with one on in quite a few videos. Susan's video on head halters shows Tater's head halter - th-cam.com/video/AXqyZYxQmMQ/w-d-xo.html - (as he is brachiocephalic, Susan uses a Comfort Trainer and finds that fits him beautifully) - DogsThat Team
,@@DogsThat I was asking because Tater is a flat-faced dog. Does he need a special halter? ,
Wait.. but what is an example of a daily quickie? Can you give an example of what that is? How long your 5 or 6 things take, and how to end the daily quickie?
Hi Nomis, Susan mentions examples at 08:06 (List of free dog training video tutorials on TH-cam): down, perch work, muzzle training, sit, stand, nose or paw target, other tricks, husbandry or loose leash walking skills, etc.
