Just came across your content. I'm loving it. I've been training for 50 years and sometimes I need these little reminders to inspire me when everything gets boring
Outstanding! I now understand the changes I've observed in my 10-month-old Belgian Shepherd Tervueren. I accidentally stumbled upon your step five. My dog wasn't interested to work for his food at all unless it was high-value treats like liver, chicken, or raw food. So, I started removing his food bowl after 15 minutes if he wasn't interested. Then, I began taking his food with me on walks and required him to work for it by performing commands like spins, sitting, coming when called, and so on. Now, I'm hand-feeding him outside, and he eagerly works for his food. I need to incorporate intermittent reward as well. On a side note, Zak George's methods were effective when he was a very young puppy, but we've since progressed beyond that and now need more precise and effective training techniques. ;)
This video is crazy. My malinois passed away- she was such a companion, hard working and eager to please from the beginning! I have kids now, so I thought hey, let’s go down a notch and try a German shepherd. Yikes! I couldn’t figure out why nothing was working- now I see I need to build the work ethic! I’m excited to try this strategy.. thank you for this video!
@dahkneelah I jjow shat you mean. I've got a blue merle border collie & although I've been training lots of different breeds for 30 years, this is the first time i haven't taught a dog to be biddable! I've now got to the place where If there's a reward in front of him, he'll obey - but I want a dog that will obey at other times. I'm giung to try these ideas!
Ngl.. I spent a year watching dog training videos to soak up ALL the knowledge I could. Stepped away due to pup grief, slowly coming back to learn more. Watched.. 3 minutes of your video and am just blown away already by seeing how clear and concise its demonstrated.. Ive not seen the long leash training used like this and its so effective on screen, that the results speak for themselves with that well trained Doggo. Absolutely amazing.
@@spiffypickle [Fair warning as this could be depressing to read] I spent 2023 saving up for my dream dog (Working line sheperd), brought him home before xmas... and a week later whilst training him with kibble in my hand, he swallowed it down the wrong hole (went into his lungs) and he unfortunately died in my arms on new years no less. So needless to say, very cruel way for a baby to go and why i couldnt stomach dog training for a good while after that.. even tho its been 10 months on.. I still think of him almost every day.

I was getting a bit worried about thinking how I introduce those key words and hand feeding this video has come at the perfect time! I have 3 weeks until we pick up pup so lots of studying but this video is gonna help so thank you!
I enjoyed your video one thing I don’t like is that you’re feeding the dogs constantly for all their rewards and when looking at your dogs are constantly looking for food. I prefer using a clicker and a food reward on a new command and once they understand it, I just use the clicker with no food then eventually no clicker for that new command. Also a ball and the bite tool work really good and I see you do that all the time which is great. You might wanna check out Team Dog, Mike Ritland dog food that I’ve switched to. I still add raw with that. And other things. Love the work you’re doing keep it up
Holy shit! I used reward markers to train my bulldog mix - and did so at mealtimes to make him more eager to learn, subsequently making him learn after the first session of training - without knowing WTF I was doing and here is this professional K9 trainer telling me it’s one of his hacks 🤯
I was thinking about making things more complicated today when playing fetch with my 1 year old dog, cause he likes running and fetching the toy so much. Thanks for the video. I will definitely teach my pup the first "hack"
Love the part about being careful with words. I train horses and English is my second language so I use "eeeasy" as a slow down cue, "whow" for stop, "go!" for forward and so on. Works like a charm because it's only used in specific situations.

This was one of the better videos i have come across, however i would like to start with my 12 week old puppy not 8 months. All that is shown is with a fully trained dog and i want to see the challenges faced with a puppy and how to overcome them. Doing all that you suggest, but so hard with a learning pup.
I am a true believer of raw I’ve educated myself sick on everything involved, the other methods, the changing and backpedaling facts that have challenged the raw food environment, and was so successful and effective with my last dog it wasn’t even a thought on my head that my new puppy would not only never eat raw but that he would enjoy every minute of it. Bc he was 8wks, and surprisingly ABHORRENT turned off by raw, gently cooked, wet, mixed…fresh, I was literally paralyzed. He needed to eat he’s a puppy! There are no “just wait him out “ rules when dealing with puppies. So I gave him kibble. And he loved it. He still loves it. He’s one. I’ve tried to introduce little tidbits of healthy regular food and freeze dried he will eat but uh..I’m unemployed and that just isn’t possible. I want him to grow up healthy shiny coat a just everything that comes with feeding a healthy non kibble diet…any advice? Keep in mind I’ve literally tried anything you can find online, but I can’t afford to consult a nutritionist, behaviouralist, even with the insurance I have for him. Should I try the he will eat when he’s hungry method again because he’s a yr now and it won’t be as detrimental to him health and growth now as opposed to when he was a puppy.?
My last minpin was a bolt-er. I’d spend all morning tracking him to try and catch him. The best thing I did with my next minpin was, the day he go to my yard. 8 weeks, four lbs. I got the grandkids in a big circle and called come. I had to use a low voice, which trainers did not like, but the high excited grandkids giggles and voices to exciteable to him and he would not hear me. So He would run to each of us and I could but out a leg and he could run up into my arms. The hardest thing to so with his recall is, for me to run away from him is he gets out off leash. He will chase me every time and if he follows someone out onto the porch he comes back in with them. To further train, on walks I would sit and stay him and continue to walk away, then call come.
Watched this whole thing, very enthused about it so decided to try it with my 9 month old Aussie Shepherd, who isn’t very food driven. Today we are day two of waiting for him to eat for free out of the bowl, just kibble. The majority of his meals have been raw, even that is hit or miss. Excited to see if I can build a food drive in him!
I had an Aussie that was half golden and he was a pig. We had to hide the food from him. The Aussie is one of the smartest dogs. They want and need so much engagement and they love to do things for you. Sometimes my dog gets bored of the raw meat so i give him cooked brown rice with meat broth and some cooked chicken or turkey. He loves it. Besides beef, he loves chicken quarters. They can be given whole and there's a little organ meat in there so they're pretty nutritious and they're very cheap.
Ich war gespannt, was der 5. Punkt ist... aber tatsächlich mach ich das mit meinem Hund seit Anbeginn so, dass sie ihre Trockenfutterration während der Spaziergänge bekommt, für Kommandos, Tricks, Rückruf oder als Suchspiel... Das bauchten wir gar nicht weiter aufbauen :) Was ich mitnehme ist der Tipp, nicht jedes mal zu belohnen, sondern variable damit es spannend bleibt, ob es was gibt. Dass ich Luna her rufe und dann noch 1-2 andere Kommandos gebe, bevor es eine Belohnung gibt, mach ich auch schon lange so :) aber so habe ich eine Bestätigung dass ich ein paar Dinge richtig mache.
Great video, thank you. I wish you could train our Boerboel boy. He is a very good boy. He just ignores us when he sees foxes or other dogs he wants to play with.
This video is probably too advanced for YOU which is normal. Obedience isn't for the dog. It's to teach the PERSON how to interact with and develop a cooperative relationship with the animal. Dogs know how to sit. The training is for YOU to get the dog to sit. Start with basic training. This is advanced.
loved the video, especially the premack principal. thats my favorite one in the raining to use. but fully did not agree on the last point. u should never make ur dog work for essentials like their daily portion food. it is the way to instigate eating disorder in dogs and eventually start all the behavioral problems that come with it. it doesnt mean dogs shouldnt earn their food. they absolutely should. they should know they only get something if they do something in return. discipline is important. however, it doesnt mean they should be deprived of their necessities for it. u can do it without it. ur employers give u salary when u perform good, but they never deprive u of food just because u did not perform how they wanted u to. first rule of fixing behavioral problems is for ur dog to be mentally and physically healthy, which means having their needs met n experiencing no pain. if ur dog doesnt work for rewarding food after it ate or doesnt eat that much, check their health. something's up.
Do you have any videos/advice on leaving dogs alone? We've got a 14-week of miniature dachshund, and as cute as he is, I do need alone time to go shopping and to the gym for example... We're wanting to introduce him being alone into our training but there's a lot of conflicting advice online around separation training and a lot of scaremongering on giving dogs anxiety?
Have you started crate training? I make the crate VERY positive introducing slowly without forcing just feeding them in there, tossing in treats ect.Then start closing the door and keep giving foods and rewarding your puppy laying down and relaxing. The first few weeks my puppy ate most her meals just training with the crate and it can give you a little break (ex: you can clean up or cool dinner while intermittently dropping treats in the crate) Once the puppy is comfortable with that you can start practicing leaving the room and coming back and rewarding calmness ect… Hope this helps xx
7:00 in that case you;''ll get a lot of core stamina, same with only rewarding good behavior. I would definitely keep corrections to an absolute minimum when actively training your dog new things.
Good stuff! I just stumbled on to you. My inception to K9 learning was attending the MES school for dog trainers in Santa Barbara, Ca. I respectfully agree to disagree with your opening intro.that other trainers will not go over this type of super helpful info. you provide as well. I think you and Michael Ellis are cut from the same K9 communication chord in alot of ways. Anyways, im glad i found you and look forward to you continuing to break down your training system to help others, like me, who are in the business to genuinely help pet dog owners with practical obedience and advanced skils. PS can you not cuss so much so I can clip some of your youtube coaching to promote you 😅😂😂?
Great video and incredibly helpful. Question about feeding - if you're not actively training the dog, let's say you have a vacation and the dog has a sitter, do you still feed by hand or can you shift back to a bowl?
Its a great opportunity for you to teach someone else what you learned so far and really helps solidify your own understanding too so it's pretty amazing(:
6:53 I feel like telling people they should correct their dog 2 out of 10 times when learning new commands is a bit weird. If a dog makes a mistake in training, you don't need to give it a correction. You can either wait out the correct behavior and then reward it. Or reset the situation and try again. If your dog displays actually unwanted behavior, then it needs a correction. Maybe the definition of correction is differnt in american english and british..? can you reply?
What language/ commands do you use? very intrigued. Ive heard some people struggle for their dogs to distinguish certain/similar sounds in trials, is this why youve done this?
Your "tango" seems a lot like my "break". I use break to switch between on and off duty mode in a way. "Sit" means sit till I tell you to do something else or I set you free to do as you please with "break". Is there some nuance or something else I'm missing about the difference between my break command and your tango other than the word itself which of course doesn't matter? One other thing I'd note is that if I have a tug toy in my hand and he's already on break, he's not allowed to just grab something in my hand until I give permission. In that case I'll "ok" to tell him he can grab and tug.
I absolutely admire your explanation! I immediately get the impression you really understand animal behavior and there's a "why" and "how" factor to your training methods i love it!
This information is amazing. Thank you I feed raw food - and it's wet (all other foods cause diarrhoea). How do i do the feeding from my hand? I can give him small amounts of low value treats - but not a whole meal worth! Thanks
My dog loves it when I slow bake peeled sweet potato until it's like a jerky texture and that might work, or real bacon bits- cooked of course. Or you can make home made jerky from any meat in the oven.
Can you elaborate the problem? Is it that you don't want to handle raw meat for training, or is it something else? Also, can you break down exactly what you feed? If it varies, just a typical meal or an overview of the standard components.
@cameronmccoy5051 I feed raw mince 10,10,80. Yes, it's messy, it cannot be delivered into his mouth easily, I need to keep wiping my hands somewhere. It's often raining or drizzly, I'm togged up in waterproofs. I would need to see a video of someone feeding wet food while wearing a bunch of clothes, holding a lead, navigating gates when other dogs appear, etc I find a ball much easier, & I wave it around to keep him transfixed. But am I missing a trick! Thanks for asking!
@floatysarah interesting... Well for starters, I got the impression (maybe I'm wrong) that this video was intended for people whose current training method isn't working as well as they would like. So I'd say it sounds like you've already got a system that works for you. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If toy/play rewarding works for your method, stick with that. I personally prefer play rewards to food rewards. If messy is an issue, this probably won't work for the type of training it sounds like you're doing. There are a few ways to mitigate the messiness, but it sounds like the kind of training you're doing would negate them.
@cameronmccoy5051 well my method is more of a sticking plaster, as I understand it. If I forget to be on the ball (pun intended), then he can be reactive. I forget - training me is hard! But maybe you're right & I need the next stage after the food is acting as a strong motivator? Thanks for your help. What's your situation?
Is Tango your reward marker too? or is your preac marker a different word all together from your reward and release marker? I've been incorporating waiting to get the toy, but releasing with my reward marker.
How would you apply number 5 to a dog that's on a BARF diet with only one meal a day (served at different time each day)... splitting the meal in two is not an option if I want to maintain a healthy digestion system when feeding raw... She also have a natural desire of fasting around every 5-6 weeks where it's normal she eats less and less 2-3 days before... Even if I could train it during the weeks she crave the meals most, there's still the issue of the handling of the raw meat, I can't just stick it in my pocket 😅
I've been trying to find a food that my pup loves. Any recommendations? Im in school to be a trainer. My dog only likes Beggin Strips, which are basically junk food. I need to find a better, less junky alternative
Our dog has lab in them, so VERY food motivated. Does Point 5 still need to be done in that instance? We used treats EVERY time with the down command, so you're right, she can't be bothered to lay down, UNLESS food is offered!! 🤦🏼♀️
Great content. Dr. Ian Dunbar, DVM published scientific studies about motivation, luring, variable rewards, and fading the reward, about 40 years ago. His method for correcting errors is brilliant, as he identifies the error, stops the error, redirects the dog, and finds a way for rewarding the dog [puppy] for learning the correct behavior. When Cesar Milan told Dr. Dunbar that the dog, Daddy, was not motivated by food, Dunbar used a tennis ball for motivation and reward, teaching Daddy basic obedience behaviors in a few minutes, that Milan had never been able to train Daddy to do. I like your five concepts, but I think that Dr. Dunbar *does* have those on video, and in his book. People don't hear about him, because he doesn't have the charm that someone like Cesar Milan has.
@@SuziQ. Dr. Dunbar is very much the opposite of Milan. His Ph.D. is in based on behaviorism, and his studies, publications, classes, and books are backed up by decades of data and research. Many modern dog trainers who have 'certifications' that may be based on his foundations, which are not "purely positive", but are a practical mix of non-aversive punishment and lots of rewards. He was one of the first trainers to emphasize the Behavioral idea that 'punishment' is unique to each dog, does not have to be aversive or painful, but only has to stop the undesirable behavior. It is valuable to look him up along with his books, because when you see his methods... they are very clear. And, if the methods look familiar, that's because he documented them more than 40 years ago.
@@SuziQ. Right. Cesar was well-known. Most people don't know Dunbar, but Dunbar is where many of the modern method came from, compared to Cesar's 'self-taught' methods, with no basis in solid Learning Theory. While Cesar's TV show might have a warning, "Don't try this at home!!!" Everything that Dunbar generated, based on years [ decades!] of research, is geared to the pet market and home user.
@@SuziQ. Ian Dunbar popularized and essentially codified the 'lure and reward' method of training, basically with food, but as other people have pointed out, you can use a toy or anything else that your dog focuses on as a reward.
What can i use to get my dogs food drive up as my dog eats raw food he loves it but would be to messy to hand feed i use training treats when training and his interested in the treats indoors but on a walk outside his not bothered
I never finished his videos, there is something not right with him or his advice or whatever, but this video helped immensely to understand it was a good choice. Yours also by unsubscribing. So many false friends out theres.
How can i build work ethic and food drive if i feed my dog raw? I ain't gonna keep bits of raw meat in my pocket... I tried using kibble and treats but my dog isn't too motivated by it because it's "lower value" than her food.
Okay, I've watched the video. I'm confused as to how to begin this. My dog is completely fixated on squirrels. I don't understand how I begin this training and him not be fixated on squirrels. Maybe if I had a squirrel to pitch out in front of him, this might work.
Oh my God you sound like sir micheal of Ellis, you just buses the word "bellend" more lol. Great video absolutely spot in training advice which is guaranteed to work. B
Step 1 throw the toy. My dog pays zero attention to the toy and is completely ignoring me. Okay, now what? Nothing gets her attention when she is outside. Not even high value treats. Everything works fine indoors. Outdoors nothing.
Have you tried Discipline, Distance, and Duration? You work on the all three first indoors with no distractions. Then work in small increments, go outside your backyard or front yard do the same things. Then work down the block, the around the block, and build. Indoor training will never compete fairly outside.
Quickly subbed. I just think this is too complicated for people to teach their dog. They won't even train a recall and rather have their dog on leash for the rest of their life.
Your error is that you are attempting to TRAIN your dog. Develop a solid trust relationship with your dog and they want to do what makes you happy you have to be mature enough to notice and put your dogs needs first so they trust that they will get their needs met in relationship with you.
Then your dog isn’t paying attention to you enough and your engagement isn’t that good. No disrespect. 9 times out of 10 it’s the trainer not the dog. There’s much more to dog training than what was covered in this video. Still a great video and even being experienced I learned from it because you can always learn more
@@christianlemaire3585 This was sarcasm and I included changing directions even though technically they give themself the correction. Obviously engagement isn’t great. Rescues and unfortunately I don’t have hours to walk in/out the house until they chill out. Walk back/forth on walks. I don’t need them constantly looking at me only that they walk with me and not against me.
@@jerimiah_y I’m not knocking u just trying to help out. U don’t need hours. Just 1 or 2 15 minute sessions a day and you’ll see results. And mix it up. With training u have to be the most fun thing around and u have to gradually move from ur house to ur backyard. Then move to distractions. It takes time but u don’t need hours a day of training. That will flatten the dog out
I also have a rescue pit bull that I got when he was almost 2 years old. It’s a lot harder to get a dog out of already learned behavior so trust me I get your pain lol. It’s not impossible tho
@@christianlemaire3585 fair enough. They are pretty good. I can get them to wait but as soon as I give the queue to walk with me and they try barreling ahead. They are already over excited before leaving the driveway. I really need to try and find time to loose leash walk separately. I need to remind the first and teach the second. They egg each other on.
So you're training the person to know how to interact with the dog. If only more people took the time to learn dog psychology and how to rei force good behavior.
I really wanted to watch your video but I won't because of the foul language. Please consider editing, there could be children who want to learn to train their dogs with your help.
Way to complicated,, I love the dog in the background escaping the place command,, he’s like fuck you im off lol. Top trainer though, funny as fuck! Maybe he is too Intelligent for the average scunbag pmsl

Hey mate, good training. I personally don't like using food to motivate my dog, but I still appreciate a great dog trainer and teacher when I see one.
So helpful thanks!
Awesome video, really helpful and great practical advice.
I am a true believer of raw I’ve educated myself sick on everything involved, the other methods, the changing and backpedaling facts that have challenged the raw food environment, and was so successful and effective with my last dog it wasn’t even a thought on my head that my new puppy would not only never eat raw but that he would enjoy every minute of it. Bc he was 8wks, and surprisingly ABHORRENT turned off by raw, gently cooked, wet, mixed…fresh, I was literally paralyzed. He needed to eat he’s a puppy! There are no “just wait him out “ rules when dealing with puppies. So I gave him kibble. And he loved it. He still loves it. He’s one. I’ve tried to introduce little tidbits of healthy regular food and freeze dried he will eat but uh..I’m unemployed and that just isn’t possible. I want him to grow up healthy shiny coat a just everything that comes with feeding a healthy non kibble diet…any advice? Keep in mind I’ve literally tried anything you can find online, but I can’t afford to consult a nutritionist, behaviouralist, even with the insurance I have for him. Should I try the he will eat when he’s hungry method again because he’s a yr now and it won’t be as detrimental to him health and growth now as opposed to when he was a puppy.?
I meant to say ‘would never eat anything other than raw”
he prefers kibble - buy a good quality one and let him have that
My last minpin was a bolt-er. I’d spend all morning tracking him to try and catch him. The best thing I did with my next minpin was, the day he go to my yard. 8 weeks, four lbs. I got the grandkids in a big circle and called come. I had to use a low voice, which trainers did not like, but the high excited grandkids giggles and voices to exciteable to him and he would not hear me. So He would run to each of us and I could but out a leg and he could run up into my arms. The hardest thing to so with his recall is, for me to run away from him is he gets out off leash. He will chase me every time and if he follows someone out onto the porch he comes back in with them. To further train, on walks I would sit and stay him and continue to walk away, then call come.
Min pins are fun. Lots of attitude!
Great to see you giving advice but can you tell me what to do? My Podenco is not really interested in toys outdoors just hunting anything.
Thank you, this is very helpful and sensible keenness
Wow and low impact - thank you.
Gonna try this! Thanks!
Watched this whole thing, very enthused about it so decided to try it with my 9 month old Aussie Shepherd, who isn’t very food driven. Today we are day two of waiting for him to eat for free out of the bowl, just kibble. The majority of his meals have been raw, even that is hit or miss.
Excited to see if I can build a food drive in him!
I had an Aussie that was half golden and he was a pig. We had to hide the food from him. The Aussie is one of the smartest dogs. They want and need so much engagement and they love to do things for you. Sometimes my dog gets bored of the raw meat so i give him cooked brown rice with meat broth and some cooked chicken or turkey. He loves it. Besides beef, he loves chicken quarters. They can be given whole and there's a little organ meat in there so they're pretty nutritious and they're very cheap.
Fantastic video! Awesome advice! Such practical useful advice that will get brilliant results 👏 ❤
Thank you so much for this video it's amazing, what a game changer!
Ich war gespannt, was der 5. Punkt ist... aber tatsächlich mach ich das mit meinem Hund seit Anbeginn so, dass sie ihre Trockenfutterration während der Spaziergänge bekommt, für Kommandos, Tricks, Rückruf oder als Suchspiel... Das bauchten wir gar nicht weiter aufbauen :) Was ich mitnehme ist der Tipp, nicht jedes mal zu belohnen, sondern variable damit es spannend bleibt, ob es was gibt. Dass ich Luna her rufe und dann noch 1-2 andere Kommandos gebe, bevor es eine Belohnung gibt, mach ich auch schon lange so :) aber so habe ich eine Bestätigung dass ich ein paar Dinge richtig mache.
Love your videos ! Starting to train two Australian Shepard puppies. Received the food guide, any recommendations for good food in the USA ?
Great video, thank you. I wish you could train our Boerboel boy. He is a very good boy. He just ignores us when he sees foxes or other dogs he wants to play with.
How about using a dog that hasn’t had all of this training.
This video is probably too advanced for YOU which is normal. Obedience isn't for the dog. It's to teach the PERSON how to interact with and develop a cooperative relationship with the animal. Dogs know how to sit. The training is for YOU to get the dog to sit. Start with basic training. This is advanced.
Good video, this was quit helpful, although im not all the way through. I subscribed to your channel.
loved the video, especially the premack principal. thats my favorite one in the raining to use.
but fully did not agree on the last point. u should never make ur dog work for essentials like their daily portion food. it is the way to instigate eating disorder in dogs and eventually start all the behavioral problems that come with it.
it doesnt mean dogs shouldnt earn their food. they absolutely should. they should know they only get something if they do something in return. discipline is important.
however, it doesnt mean they should be deprived of their necessities for it. u can do it without it. ur employers give u salary when u perform good, but they never deprive u of food just because u did not perform how they wanted u to.
first rule of fixing behavioral problems is for ur dog to be mentally and physically healthy, which means having their needs met n experiencing no pain. if ur dog doesnt work for rewarding food after it ate or doesnt eat that much, check their health. something's up.
Thanks for this! What would reccomend for dogs that aren't interested in toys?
The entire video is a golden nugget
Thank you! 👍
Great video many thanks
Interesting, thank you. Chris in Brazil.
Very good content, thanks !
Premack was a teacher..did this with kids. My dogs reward was chase squirrels. She is much less crazy about chasing them now!
Love this. Thank you.
Do you have any videos/advice on leaving dogs alone? We've got a 14-week of miniature dachshund, and as cute as he is, I do need alone time to go shopping and to the gym for example... We're wanting to introduce him being alone into our training but there's a lot of conflicting advice online around separation training and a lot of scaremongering on giving dogs anxiety?
Have you started crate training? I make the crate VERY positive introducing slowly without forcing just feeding them in there, tossing in treats ect.Then start closing the door and keep giving foods and rewarding your puppy laying down and relaxing. The first few weeks my puppy ate most her meals just training with the crate and it can give you a little break (ex: you can clean up or cool dinner while intermittently dropping treats in the crate) Once the puppy is comfortable with that you can start practicing leaving the room and coming back and rewarding calmness ect… Hope this helps xx
Great content!
7:00 in that case you;''ll get a lot of core stamina, same with only rewarding good behavior. I would definitely keep corrections to an absolute minimum when actively training your dog new things.
This worked wonders on training my autistic child thank you so much!
The hand feeding can be fairly dangerous, though.
😂
TOO FLIPPIN' FUNNNY‼️
is the premack principle the same as break training?
Glad you asked that. As went through my mind too
Essentially yeah! I just wanted to reframe it in an attempt to emphasise its importance ❤
Good stuff! I just stumbled on to you. My inception to K9 learning was attending the MES school for dog trainers in Santa Barbara, Ca.
I respectfully agree to disagree with your opening intro.that other trainers will not go over this type of super helpful info. you provide as well. I think you and Michael Ellis are cut from the same K9 communication chord in alot of ways.
Anyways, im glad i found you and look forward to you continuing to break down your training system to help others, like me, who are in the business to genuinely help pet dog owners with practical obedience and advanced skils.
PS can you not cuss so much so I can clip some of your youtube coaching to promote you 😅😂😂?
Great video and incredibly helpful. Question about feeding - if you're not actively training the dog, let's say you have a vacation and the dog has a sitter, do you still feed by hand or can you shift back to a bowl?
Do you know if the sitter is open to working on some skills while they are with them?
Its a great opportunity for you to teach someone else what you learned so far and really helps solidify your own understanding too so it's pretty amazing(:
6:53 I feel like telling people they should correct their dog 2 out of 10 times when learning new commands is a bit weird. If a dog makes a mistake in training, you don't need to give it a correction. You can either wait out the correct behavior and then reward it. Or reset the situation and try again. If your dog displays actually unwanted behavior, then it needs a correction. Maybe the definition of correction is differnt in american english and british..? can you reply?
It's the same. I'm in US
What language/ commands do you use? very intrigued. Ive heard some people struggle for their dogs to distinguish certain/similar sounds in trials, is this why youve done this?
The only word I heard that wasn't English was German: Fuss (fooss) which means foot.
Didn’t he say that the Mal was trained in German? I watched the first half this morning (10 hours ago), pre-caffeine.
I think that's not uncommon. I remember somebody saying they use Korean in trials.
Can you suggest a food available in the US?
Your "tango" seems a lot like my "break". I use break to switch between on and off duty mode in a way. "Sit" means sit till I tell you to do something else or I set you free to do as you please with "break". Is there some nuance or something else I'm missing about the difference between my break command and your tango other than the word itself which of course doesn't matter? One other thing I'd note is that if I have a tug toy in my hand and he's already on break, he's not allowed to just grab something in my hand until I give permission. In that case I'll "ok" to tell him he can grab and tug.
I absolutely admire your explanation! I immediately get the impression you really understand animal behavior and there's a "why" and "how" factor to your training methods i love it!
This information is amazing. Thank you
I feed raw food - and it's wet (all other foods cause diarrhoea). How do i do the feeding from my hand?
I can give him small amounts of low value treats - but not a whole meal worth!
Thanks
My dog loves it when I slow bake peeled sweet potato until it's like a jerky texture and that might work, or real bacon bits- cooked of course. Or you can make home made jerky from any meat in the oven.
Can you elaborate the problem? Is it that you don't want to handle raw meat for training, or is it something else?
Also, can you break down exactly what you feed? If it varies, just a typical meal or an overview of the standard components.
@cameronmccoy5051 I feed raw mince 10,10,80.
Yes, it's messy, it cannot be delivered into his mouth easily, I need to keep wiping my hands somewhere. It's often raining or drizzly, I'm togged up in waterproofs.
I would need to see a video of someone feeding wet food while wearing a bunch of clothes, holding a lead, navigating gates when other dogs appear, etc
I find a ball much easier, & I wave it around to keep him transfixed. But am I missing a trick!
Thanks for asking!
@floatysarah interesting...
Well for starters, I got the impression (maybe I'm wrong) that this video was intended for people whose current training method isn't working as well as they would like. So I'd say it sounds like you've already got a system that works for you. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If toy/play rewarding works for your method, stick with that. I personally prefer play rewards to food rewards. If messy is an issue, this probably won't work for the type of training it sounds like you're doing. There are a few ways to mitigate the messiness, but it sounds like the kind of training you're doing would negate them.
@cameronmccoy5051 well my method is more of a sticking plaster, as I understand it. If I forget to be on the ball (pun intended), then he can be reactive. I forget - training me is hard!
But maybe you're right & I need the next stage after the food is acting as a strong motivator?
Thanks for your help. What's your situation?
This would work for kids too!
Is there a video of this guy training a cocker spaniel or showing off a trained cocker spaniel?
How does no.5 work if you’re raw feeding? My fur missile (Malinois) is on raw mince, cooked brown rice and mixed veg twice a day.
Is Tango your reward marker too? or is your preac marker a different word all together from your reward and release marker? I've been incorporating waiting to get the toy, but releasing with my reward marker.
How would you apply number 5 to a dog that's on a BARF diet with only one meal a day (served at different time each day)... splitting the meal in two is not an option if I want to maintain a healthy digestion system when feeding raw... She also have a natural desire of fasting around every 5-6 weeks where it's normal she eats less and less 2-3 days before... Even if I could train it during the weeks she crave the meals most, there's still the issue of the handling of the raw meat, I can't just stick it in my pocket 😅
Premack was a school teacher who used this technique for kids!
Ca I just start from the hand-feeding step if the dog is motivated or the cardboard box is actually adding something of value ?
I was not shocked by the last tip, say hello to Zac George's face on your bum
That's a hole (sic intented) video in and of itself😂
I've been trying to find a food that my pup loves. Any recommendations? Im in school to be a trainer. My dog only likes Beggin Strips, which are basically junk food. I need to find a better, less junky alternative
That first failure looked set up, more like he called late and the dog had almost reached the end of the provided length of the leash.
What breed of dog is Ranger?
I'm wondering that too.
The hardest part is training Human 😊 but so true A
How old should the dog be to start this mark training? 2:50
How did you teach him to go get the treat using the word "Tango"??
@@paulacraig8252 ,
The word doesn’t matter. You can name anything (hence the “carrot cake” example).
GOOD !
😒I just wanted my headstrong dachshund to come back when called, but nope never happened 😞
Our dog has lab in them, so VERY food motivated. Does Point 5 still need to be done in that instance?
We used treats EVERY time with the down command, so you're right, she can't be bothered to lay down, UNLESS food is offered!! 🤦🏼♀️
Great content. Dr. Ian Dunbar, DVM published scientific studies about motivation, luring, variable rewards, and fading the reward, about 40 years ago. His method for correcting errors is brilliant, as he identifies the error, stops the error, redirects the dog, and finds a way for rewarding the dog [puppy] for learning the correct behavior. When Cesar Milan told Dr. Dunbar that the dog, Daddy, was not motivated by food, Dunbar used a tennis ball for motivation and reward, teaching Daddy basic obedience behaviors in a few minutes, that Milan had never been able to train Daddy to do.
I like your five concepts, but I think that Dr. Dunbar *does* have those on video, and in his book. People don't hear about him, because he doesn't have the charm that someone like Cesar Milan has.
Cesar Milan is obsolete. Does this trainer use methods like Cesar does?
@@SuziQ. Dr. Dunbar is very much the opposite of Milan. His Ph.D. is in based on behaviorism, and his studies, publications, classes, and books are backed up by decades of data and research. Many modern dog trainers who have 'certifications' that may be based on his foundations, which are not "purely positive", but are a practical mix of non-aversive punishment and lots of rewards. He was one of the first trainers to emphasize the Behavioral idea that 'punishment' is unique to each dog, does not have to be aversive or painful, but only has to stop the undesirable behavior. It is valuable to look him up along with his books, because when you see his methods... they are very clear. And, if the methods look familiar, that's because he documented them more than 40 years ago.
@@hanksimon1023 ,
I read one of his books, years ago. Seeing Cesar’s name confused me.
@@SuziQ. Right. Cesar was well-known. Most people don't know Dunbar, but Dunbar is where many of the modern method came from, compared to Cesar's 'self-taught' methods, with no basis in solid Learning Theory. While Cesar's TV show might have a warning, "Don't try this at home!!!" Everything that Dunbar generated, based on years [ decades!] of research, is geared to the pet market and home user.
@@SuziQ.
Ian Dunbar popularized and essentially codified the 'lure and reward' method of training, basically with food, but as other people have pointed out, you can use a toy or anything else that your dog focuses on as a reward.
What can i use to get my dogs food drive up as my dog eats raw food he loves it but would be to messy to hand feed i use training treats when training and his interested in the treats indoors but on a walk outside his not bothered
Unsubscribed from Zak George after finding your channel - oops! I didn't realise how bad he was. Thank you for your videos!
I never finished his videos, there is something not right with him or his advice or whatever, but this video helped immensely to understand it was a good choice. Yours also by unsubscribing. So many false friends out theres.
Works with people too....
mine launches like a missle and then turns into a propeller
Do you know how long it takes to learn all this?
It'll take me about a month of re-watching until I learn it.
How can i build work ethic and food drive if i feed my dog raw? I ain't gonna keep bits of raw meat in my pocket... I tried using kibble and treats but my dog isn't too motivated by it because it's "lower value" than her food.
Okay, I've watched the video. I'm confused as to how to begin this. My dog is completely fixated on squirrels. I don't understand how I begin this training and him not be fixated on squirrels. Maybe if I had a squirrel to pitch out in front of him, this might work.
Oh my God you sound like sir micheal of Ellis, you just buses the word "bellend" more lol.
Great video absolutely spot in training advice which is guaranteed to work. B
Interesting 5 having them have to work a bit harder for their food ever couple of feedings.
My dog is reactive but he also gets the “zoomies.” What should i do about zoomies?
Step 1 throw the toy. My dog pays zero attention to the toy and is completely ignoring me. Okay, now what? Nothing gets her attention when she is outside. Not even high value treats. Everything works fine indoors. Outdoors nothing.
Have you tried Discipline, Distance, and Duration? You work on the all three first indoors with no distractions. Then work in small increments, go outside your backyard or front yard do the same things. Then work down the block, the around the block, and build. Indoor training will never compete fairly outside.
@@Missfoxtooyou ,
We’re good indoors, like Sandy is. Outdoors (not on our property) is a hassle.
Quickly subbed. I just think this is too complicated for people to teach their dog. They won't even train a recall and rather have their dog on leash for the rest of their life.
@@canine_coach ,
It’s not too complicated. My pup likes these kinds of exercises.
Not all dogs want to play with a toy like this. Then what?
I love how all dog trainers on youtube throw shade at zak george😂, guy is the most delusional trainer out there.
Your error is that you are attempting to TRAIN your dog. Develop a solid trust relationship with your dog and they want to do what makes you happy you have to be mature enough to notice and put your dogs needs first so they trust that they will get their needs met in relationship with you.
Nothing new about using environment as a reward.
Youre just a laugh riot, Donald.
Your dogs are well trained. Why not show us how to train with a dog that is not trained.
People always corrupt a dogs name!
What if your dogs have the 85% percent rule reversed? ha I think I'll try continuing marker/look at me training.
Then your dog isn’t paying attention to you enough and your engagement isn’t that good. No disrespect. 9 times out of 10 it’s the trainer not the dog. There’s much more to dog training than what was covered in this video. Still a great video and even being experienced I learned from it because you can always learn more
@@christianlemaire3585 This was sarcasm and I included changing directions even though technically they give themself the correction.
Obviously engagement isn’t great. Rescues and unfortunately I don’t have hours to walk in/out the house until they chill out. Walk back/forth on walks. I don’t need them constantly looking at me only that they walk with me and not against me.
@@jerimiah_y I’m not knocking u just trying to help out. U don’t need hours. Just 1 or 2 15 minute sessions a day and you’ll see results. And mix it up. With training u have to be the most fun thing around and u have to gradually move from ur house to ur backyard. Then move to distractions. It takes time but u don’t need hours a day of training. That will flatten the dog out
I also have a rescue pit bull that I got when he was almost 2 years old. It’s a lot harder to get a dog out of already learned behavior so trust me I get your pain lol. It’s not impossible tho
@@christianlemaire3585 fair enough. They are pretty good. I can get them to wait but as soon as I give the queue to walk with me and they try barreling ahead. They are already over excited before leaving the driveway.
I really need to try and find time to loose leash walk separately. I need to remind the first and teach the second. They egg each other on.
German shepherds believe me your success rate will be much easier
i cant do none of this lol
So you're training the person to know how to interact with the dog. If only more people took the time to learn dog psychology and how to rei force good behavior.
I really wanted to watch your video but I won't because of the foul language. Please consider editing, there could be children who want to learn to train their dogs with your help.
Way to complicated,, I love the dog in the background escaping the place command,, he’s like fuck you im off lol.
Top trainer though, funny as fuck! Maybe he is too Intelligent for the average scunbag pmsl
lol ur tattoo choice
