    This was so helpful for my 7 month old! We followed this and the Patreon video 'box work using shaping', and he seems so much more coordinated now.
    Before he was kind of bumbling in public spaces and trepidatious on stairs, but he's made so much progress! Thanks Laura!

      Thanks Rick! It's amazing how a young dog can develop when you help them learn about purposeful use of their bodies. Nice work!

    Great lesson! It is so fun to watch you train! Appreciate seeing the bobbles! I’m working on this same behavior, and today I had an epiphany: I needed to take my dog out of the equation and practice MY mechanics. So, I downloaded a metronome to my phone and then practiced doing a click/treat on every beat-which was a total, fumbling mess. ]:-/ Puzzled over this a bit, and figured out my mechanics are actually a FOUR-beat sequence. So I reset my metronome to a little bit faster speed and practiced my sequence like this: CLICK…deliver…reload…observe…CLICK…deliver…reload…observe… I repeated that sequence at faster or slower speeds as needed, till I got nice and fluent. Then I added my (nicely rested) dog back into the equation. This helped speed up my rate of reinforcement and keep my dog “in the game” with minimal frustration due to dropped treats, delayed deliveries, poorly timed clicks, etc. Anyhow that’s what I picked up from watching this video (and another) on teaching back-up to a target. :-) Thanks!

      I'm so glad you figured out what worked for you for practicing! When I first started clicker training I would watch basketball games (because the dribbling was unpredictable) and practice clicking when the ball hits the ground. I think it's useful to go back to practicing mechanics frequently and videoing our training as well! We are half of the equation after all!

    Hi Lauren - do you have any videos for a specific rear foot, without using actual directionals such as left and right. I use those for turns in agility. Thanks.

    Wow! I am so glad I came upon your channel. Teaching what to do when the dog isn’t behaving perfectly is half the battle, and no one seems to be willing to show that part! Thank you ❤❤

      Hi LadyLove! Thank you for noticing! I try very hard to use dogs that don't know a thing when possible, and to show troubleshooting stuff. If you like watching trainers show all their sessions/errors, I would definitely check out my Patreon. It's only $3 to join and I have a couple full training series on there and am working on another long-form one now that will come out in installments where I show full sessions, what went wrong, how I pivot in the moment, etc.
      Thanks for being here! :) Check out the "dog training" playlist for lots of training videos!

    thank you for sharing this, I love your directions and lighness while training. Would it be a reasonable thing to try and do teaching both a back and a back to a target but teaching different verbal cues. One for back and then one for backing until they touch a target? Would that be to confusing?

    • @DoggyU
      @DoggyU  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Veronica - Thank you for your kind words! Your comment about "lightness" really brought a smile to my face :)
      As far as the backing to a target vs just backing up, I guess my question would be, for what purpose? Why would you want the two to be different. This isn't rhetorical, I'm really asking what function the separate cues would serve so that I can best answer your question. Because if you teach a backup using a target, your dog should just continue to back until they hit something, or you've given them an additional cue to do something else. Let me know what application you're looking for and I'll check back later! :)

    This video is so great! I’ve been doing this with my 7mo GSD for a couple weeks now taking the babiest of baby steps, and i was wondering if you could help me troubleshoot.
    He was consistently doing well with the “pull forward and mark for leaning back”, and then all of a sudden decided “lean back” means “sit”. So now if I pull him far enough forward he’ll just lean back into a sit with back paws still on the platform. If I pull him far enough to where his feet come off the platform he’ll just sit on the floor.
    Is there anything I can do to make it click with him that I want him to walk backwards back onto the platform? Or do I just need to stay consistent with what I’m doing and he’ll get it in time?

      Hi Dominique - I'll do my best to give you some tips without seeing the behavior, but if you continue to get stuck, check out my "Top Fan" Patreon level where I can give you video review feedback of your training - Patreon.com/DOGGYU
      But it sounds like we need to change the reward placement. Try rewarding on the ground between your legs, so the dog gets into the "two on, two off" position with back legs on the target. You mark and place the food on the floor between your slightly open legs, shaped like a V. This will do two things - it will cause your dog to not want to sit because they need to lean forward to get the food each time, and sitting makes that process take longer, and it also places them slightly between your legs when they eat the cookie, meaning that when they finish, to look up at you, they will need to back themselves up naturally. This will cause them to back onto the platform. You can then incrementally lengthen the distance from the platform with this new pattern. Hope this helps! And be sure to report back to let me know how its going - or tag me on Insta @doggy.u so I can see your hard work! Happy Training!

    What do you do if the dog will pivot/shift weight/move feet around on the target in the back, but only if he comes onto the platform head on? He has been avoiding lifting his paw backwards and just jumping away from it every time. I feel like I'm missing a piece.

    • @DoggyU
      @DoggyU  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This might have a lot to do with the platform you're using and their avoidance of the texture. If you're using something hard or slippery, try placing a blanket or towel over it. Or it might be too tall or too small. Try something shorter, or wider and easier to reach. Hope that helps!

  • @ttyrtube
    @ttyrtube ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for such an informative video! A question - when you are pulling forward, and then wait for her to shift her weight back, are you rewarding the pulling forward, or just using the treat to lure, without treating her? In other words, are you treating both when pulling forward and shifting back, or only treating the shift back?

    • @DoggyU
      @DoggyU  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question! I feed when pulling forward. Another option is to drop the treat between your feet with you positioned so that she doesn't start by leaving the platform, but just has to reach slightly to get the treat between your legs. When she wants to look back up at you, she will naturally shift backwards, which you can capture and mark and reward for. Slowly increase your distance from her and she will take one foot off and then replace it back on the platform. Hope that helps!

      I try to use untrained dogs whenever possible. Sometimes it's really hard to get a dog that doesn't have the skill, or sometimes I also need a dog that has some foundational skills. So it's a tough balance, but when appropriate and available, I try to use untrained dogs!

    I have a question. Could this be used in the guide dog industry to teach dogs informal training to back from a traffic check or car. I am a guy dog handler and used to work for a guide dog school in the training department. Just watching your video and it made me think could this be used in a real life guide dog training scenario. Why don’t dog guide schools train their dogs to back like this??
    Thank you!

    • @DoggyU
      @DoggyU  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey Cody! You may know that I also work for a guide dog school, and the puppy in the video is a guide dog pup. I see a lot of applications of this behavior besides general body awareness, including being able to back into seats on a bus or the plane when turning around would be a challenge. I do know that our school does teach the dogs to back away from cars during traffic but does not teach a formal backup in this manner. I think that is likely because the concepts used here involve a lot of shaping and historically guide dog schools haven't used a ton of shaping. I'll be experimenting a little bit with shaping and body awareness in our puppy department a bit going forward, so I'd love to revisit this in 6 months! Thanks for commenting!

    • @DoggyU
      @DoggyU  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Soraia ljubtschenko Motta some schools do use shaping, it's just that it's an entirely more complicated training method to teach puppy raisers so, at least at my school, they don't do it a ton and tend to focus on luring and capturing. That being said, I'm working on some seminars for VPRs at my school to start introducing the concept, so who knows, maybe in 5 years we can utilize shaping in a much more efficient way!

    I can't get my dog to put both back feet on the target. Is my target too small? It's more than wide enough for her legs to stand naturally but she keeps stepping over it instead of on it. The most I can get is 1 foot

    • @DoggyU
      @DoggyU  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      What’s the texture of the object? If it’s a weird texture, try putting a bath mat over it. That can be really helpful. Also bigger is better at the start. At least twice as wide as their stance.
