      I got a Shihtzu last week, and she is now 9 Weeks old. She barks at night in her bed, even though she sleeps in my room. Is that normal? And she dont was to walk, always sits on the front door... i‘m a little bit frustrated 🙈

      @Theo Emanuelsson I agree with you totally, all dogs need exercise. But you do get the generally agressive dog, or a dogs behaviour is off where you need training for example, dog like to bite things? You need to train him to not bite things and give him a bully sticks. And training them to poo and we outside. And a few commands, like, sit, stay, come, down. Other than that doggos are great.

    Just wanted to briefly share something. I had one of the best walks with my two rescue dogs today. It's been nearly two years of training and behavior modification for two very fearful, one aggressive, one would just have melt downs terrier rescues and today was one of those walks were everything came together and I had the two best behaved, most polite, sociable, playful and confident dogs of the entire group (it was a "pack walk" if you're into that stuff - I call it a "group walk" specifically for smaller dogs).
    My used-to-be aggressive/reactive PatterJack was engaging in games of chase with big dogs like Vizlas and GSDs we met on the walk - I think he was showing off to the other dogs. He was having a blast. My Jack Russel/Shih Tzu mix even joined in at one point. The confidence they both have is amazing, more than I ever thought possible.
    Dogs are amazing. Both of mine are unrecognisable from when I got them. I'm so, so proud of them both.
    Having dogs can be trying at times people, but stick with it because I promise you if you give your dog what it needs it'll pay you back ten fold.

    • @victoriar8668

      Tesla Nick how did you help them with their confidence? My gsd puppy has always been so timid since the day we got her at 8 weeks. She's now 16 weeks and doing better but still gets scared at times. I am proudof her progress but I wonder if when she's full grown she'll be fully confident or will she always be a bit shy

    • @TeslaNick2
      @TeslaNick2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A whole variety of techniques. I started by making both dog's worlds really small. Little to no freedom and tight control at all times. I named them "low stress days". No off leash until recalling reliably, solid "leave it" and "wait". Walks conducted on long line training leads until they've proved they can do the three vitals (recall+leave it+wait/stop). I used conditioned relaxation to help them find calm on cue (a skill I teach every dog I train). Lots and lots of counter conditioning for a variety of stressors (plastic bags was a big one). Kept all training purely positive. Only used time outs as a negative consequence for unwanted behavior (no "corrections" like leash pops). Taught incompatible behaviors instead of punishing bad behavior.
      Lots and lots of obedience training, lots of impulse control games (sit-stays, down-stays, "wait", "leave it", "place" etc). Taught both dogs how to play (one was too timid to engage in games of conflict like tug) but now he's a tug addict (the PatterJack). Lots of doggy parkour whilst out on walks.
      One of the most powerful things is the group walks. Dogs learn from other dogs MUCH faster than from us. My shih tzu mix used to just watch all the other dogs from afar and then "monkey see, monkey do" kicked in and he'd try to emulate the stuff he liked in other dogs. Wonderful to observe.
      My overall goal was to support both dogs through their issues (all fear based due to lack of experience at the appropriate age). Teach them how to navigate stressful situations (usually by deferring to me) and handle their emotions better. Show them that they can overcome challenges to build a sense of self-efficacy.
      The list of techniques I found particularly useful that I certified in along the way:
      BAT 2.0 (Grisha Stewart)
      SATS (Kayce Cover)
      Mark and reward training with food and/or play as the reinforcement
      Counter conditioning
      Classical conditioning
      Operant conditioning
      Perception modification
      Calibrated desensitisation
      Negative punishment (time outs/social exclusion/no reward markers)
      Negative reinforcement (leash pressure using either a slip lead or martingale collar and even harnesses/spacial pressure/social pressure)
      General obedience
      Now that both dogs are well versed in the various skills we've learned, if they do have a scare of any kind, they recover straight away and we tackle and get over the scare right there and then - done.
      It's been a fantastic journey. A lot of work which has never felt like a chore. The pay off is enormous. My two set the example for other dogs now.

    Since luring a small puppy into a sit or down is difficult, a clicker works wonders. I use the "capture method" and simply wait for my Pomeranian to sit. With the clicker, he learned to focus in half a day, and sit on command the next. It's adorable to watch him thinking. I highly recommend the book "Puppy Start Right" for all the different methods of lure and capture.
    We're working on staying on a bed when the front door opens. The tiny thing could be out before we know it-with the door only opened a crack. There are always treats there! At least it's easy to have treats everywhere as he can't reach them.
    My knees are killing me getting up and down off the floor, so I'll have to figure that out. I bought a lure stick that has a clamp to hold a treat. The method to focus on getting attention is genius! Small doggies will be looking upwards their entire life.

    "Too much freedom, too early." This is gonna be my problem to keep in mind. I have to remember that the pups didn't have the run of the house at the breeder, so she's not used to that - and doesn't think of a playpen-sized world as confinement. It's what she's always known, so it's normal.

    Zak please help! How do I stop my puppy from whining in a crate? I don’t want to let her out as she might think whining gets her out. Also I play and give her a lot of exercise before I put her in it she even has a chew toy but she still whines and cries!
    She’ll get tired after she exercises and I’ll put her in the crate, but after a while maybe 5-10 mins later, she will start whining.
    What shall I do?

    • @wonderfulwobbuffet764
      @wonderfulwobbuffet764 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jade Lam I don’t know for sure, but have you tried watching his videos on crate training and separation anxiety? Try to create positive associations with the crate by training and treating while in it (and not while whining [i think this would work similarly to how to stop dogs from barking so check out those videos of his too]). Stay with your dog for 15-20 mins doing normal things while she is in the crate. Does she whine when you leave or also when you are with her? If she whines when you leave, then check out his separation anxiety videos. If she whines while you’re there, look at the barking videos, and pay attention to her while she’s in the crate. Try playing and training while she’s in the crate with the door open.

    • @chelseaa733
      @chelseaa733 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jade Lam you should take a worn piece of clothing like a shirt or sweat jacket and drape it on top of your dogs crate. That will really help because they will smell you scent

      If you still have a hard time with potty training, it may help to walk outside with Rocky personally and stand outside until he uses the restroom. If he is reluctant to come outside on his leash maybe try reassuring him before continuing over the threshold. :) Good luck!

      Experience. If you practice anything a lot, you get good at it.
      Dog training is simply learning a way of transmitting what we want to the dog. Dog's have done their side of the deal by learning to read us, our body language, the sounds we make and the emotion behind them. We're still learning our side of it and how to express ourselves in way our dogs can understand.
      If you never do a single training session with a dog, you still end up understanding each other right ? There's certain cues the dog habitually acts on, he knows when you're sad, happy, angry.

I'm certified in SATS (Kayce Cover) and certified with the IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers). I'm also a member of the IACP (Tyler Muto). I host group walks for difficult dogs once a week and a meetup group called "Doggy Discussions" where I talk about dogs, dog training and give free advice to anyone who needs it.
