This is one of the best dog/human trainers I have ever watched. He makes it so simple and now I recognize that all the issues we have had (some continue) are a result of MY mistakes. Every mistake I made have come from my lack of understanding the “mixed messages” I am giving Kiah. No wonder why I have been so frustrated at times and even wanting to give up. I kept thinking “she is just never going to get it”. Utilizing Roberts videos, I have made huge progress with Kiah and she is a far less confused Lab/Chow mix. What I have learned is that you can correct the past mistakes and have a wonderful, happy dog. It WILL require a lot of patience. And you must be willing to watch Roberts videos and learn. Thank you Robert for everything you have taught me. Kiah thanks you too🐕🐕
@@RobertCabralDogs I am so impressed with your videos that I can't thank you enough. I wish I could come and learn from you.. what you do has become my passion now. My name is Rajendra and I am from Pune, India. I keep on watching your videos again and again. Goofy and Maya are amazing.
Ahhh... this is why my 11 wk. old drops the ball before she gets to me me when teaching her fetch. Because "drop it". I've since seen your advice to "tug" or have another ball during fetch. Genius! Thank you, sir.
This is something that I teach my clients. Almost all of them previously used "Come" "Sit" and their recall was none existent. I work similar to you but I am still learning. You are an inspiration as well as a great educator. Thank you for your time.
- I instruct dogtrainers to use the recall command as most important command. What recall in my opinion is, is that the dog has to come to you when called and you must be able to touch the collar of the dog and that is all there is to it. It doesn't matter what the dog is doing when you touch the collar or how far he is from you. This prevents the thing happening what Robert is talking about. - The recall command is used in obedience to let the dog come to you as described above, but other commands are also used to let the dog come to you when he is far away from you. For instance the "heel" command means that the dog has to come to you and he must go sit in the basic heel position left from you. No matter how far the dog is from you. The same goes for other "position commands" you teach your dog. - Otherwise good work as always, Robert. 😀 /- -
Robert , thank you for this " the come command " Its one of the difficult things I'm going through. I'm form BC Canada . Yes I've been busy in the evenings watching a lot of your TH-cam Videos . I know its most likely us as a owner that make the Mistakes. On a Other note , my walks with Layla ( Female Purebred Rough Collie) are amazing with Prong Collar. Nothing harsh , just a gentle on the leash. many thanks again IT WORKS.
This explains a lot haha...my dog sometimes stops and sits when he's still 3 ft away. I had no idea the training was the problem...guess it's back to basics
Wonderful tip. Being a newbie in dog training, I luckily never did this mistake-thank goodness! Instinctively, I let the puppy run towards me, let it continue running between my legs for a few steps. I want the dog to run in recall as if its life depended on it, to come behind me and feel protected by me (as his pack leader).
Sweet I did not make either one of these mistakes. I already do the 2nd part. How ever I do my COME teaching a bit different, but I like your way better. I do not need someone to help me your way. I basically play dog ping pong lol. We both have treats and take turns calling the dog. My Ruby pretty solid on recall but I think your method will make her even better. I dont know If i wanna throw a treat between my legs when teaching a Great Dane though lol. I think I will just throw at my feet for that one, I dont wanna talk soprano for a few hours lol. I hope that works almost as good.
It is so amazing to see how this Mal listens and loves you. I hope I can get my 20 week female Mal like this. Plus, it is amazing to me how much you love this dog as well as all dogs. You are a very passionate person. It shows in your videos and ask me anything videos. Thank you.
Thanks for all your videos, Robert - your logical, well thought out calm approach to dog training is a great help to keep me on the right track with my playful (sometimes impetuous) mini schnauzer pup. Cheers.
Hello from South Africa! Love love love these videos!!! My boy is 8 months (and my first malinois) he's well behaved, but now it all makes sense of where I need to get it right!!! Can't wait to get home and try this with my boy!!! Thank you!!!
Signed up today, I really love the way to approach training. My puppy is responding very well to it! Even after spending a couple years researching before I got her I am so glad I found your videos and trainings@@RobertCabralDogs
Whoa. I am now glad we haven't been working on 'come'!! Dog gone it, Robert!! Excellent! What little we've done is to SIT after coming! This makes incredible sense!!
Thanks for another great training tip. I'm retraining my Rottweiler to recall when he's moving or running instead of from a stay position. He's doing well and is a lot more interested in coming to me even if he's playing at the park with other dogs.
i have a 13 month old, 105 pound german shepherd that i got when he was 10 months old - his previous owners did not work with him AT ALL besides "sit, lay down, paw" and now I have this super hyper, super big dog that's difficult to work with because he's constantly so high strung and uses his weight/size to get the best of me. The main problem I have is that he refuses to let me get close while he has a toy, so it's difficult to actually get anything out of him with toys, even though he's clearly pretty toy motivated. general obedience isn't too bad usually, but because i can't get the toys back i have to use food, and almost every distraction he can see is more interesting to him than the food. Any advice? also, i love your channel, just found it the other day and instantly watched half of your videos. you explain very well and make it very clear what you need to do to get the right result. keep making them!!!
I train dogs for a living but I really like your content and it has also opened up my tool box! I never thought to train the come this way while I didn't have this problem it still a great way to do it!
Thanks so much for sharing --- This is so awesome and such useful information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, especially free of charge - I will keep watching and thumbs up - your insights are fantastic.
how these video help a lot.. very useful and great idea and specially easy to understand on how to train your dog.. thank you for the very useful idea ... god bless.
Robert Ur Realliy Amazing U hqve a very wonderful Difference then others do .. This Ur Tricks we can develop a healthy Relationship with Dogs & make Happy living I'm w9rking with Ur Tricks on 5 months old My Rottwieller Thank U Sir
While I largely agree with your method of teaching recall, for those that compete in Obedience in venues such as AKC, UKC, etc. an auto-sit at the end of the recall is going to be necessary. Without question it can, and probably should be added after the dog understands the basic recall.
Thanks! Very helpful! Do you recommend teaching a dog to “wait” first, or does it not matter when teaching the dog to come? These are such helpful video, I rescue dogs and they come in all ages and backgrounds, so your videos are especially helpful. An educated dog is much more adoptable, as you have said.
Thanks great info. This is going to work great for our new puppy. Do you think I can correct training mistakes with my four-year-old Aussie? She’s really smart and actually pretty well trained, but there a few tweaks based on info that you shared that I’d like to make.
Nice videos. I would like to see a video on all your hand signals. I believe my dog responds to voice commands. I also think my dog responds to hand signals (possibly better)
Our German Shepherd was adopted as an adult. We think he may have been a service dog of some type. He has NO UNDERSTANDING OF TOYS OR FETCHING. He is about six or seven years old but is SO energetic off leash. He will never come when called because he runs away off leash!
A couple questions. When u was down on the ground your dog only wanted the treats not you?? This is one method that works but I don't understand the treat thing especially on a trained dog. I don't carry bacon when I an working my cattle dogs. Is it easier for the soft hearted to train dogs with treats??
yes, that's during training and for the most of the other times, but occasionally it's okay to tell him to come after a sit, it's like the dog knows how to do both things , the dog still expects a command, either a yes for release or a come to come, he didn't build the dog to think that "after i sit and stay for a while he always calls me so i better go to him now" instead the dog doesn't know what the human wants from him after the sit.
This dog understand what Robert wants though this is more to prevent confusion when you first start training the dog and showing it what you want it to do if that makes sense
Great advice! I'll restart my dog using this..i do tend to make her stay i also taught her to sit or down after recall which i did not know was a big no no. I was a bit preplexed about something though,maybe a misread the situation..on a previous video you mentioned that when you say sit(which for your dog is a stay) you should never recall them to you until you give the go (which in your case looked to be a touch and yes) but in this video you recalled her from a sit. My dog knows basics like stay,and wait and stay etc..(not perfect but still hoping and trying to improve),might be a bit harder as she is already 1.5 years old. Can i for example tell her to lay down and say stay and then go back to her say Go...should i avoid calling her from a wait rather than a stay? and only use stay to mean that shes only allowed to freely move when i go to her and say the word "go" ?"Yes" to be much friendlier but i do tend to use the yes but still want her to stay still and i dont her to get mixed up that yes is the free word. Excuse my english, i hope you understand where im trying to get.
great question. the idea to this lesson is to simply teach the dog NOT to auto release or auto recall. Once the dog understands, its obviously ok to recall the dog from the stay - as I do. However I urge people not to recall the dog out of stay too often.... it builds the bad habit we are trying to avoid.
So basically come is come be with me /let's have a party..and be my mate? If u want him to come but automatically sit in front of you -use different command ??eg "front"??.?
Bro this is Goofy’s TH-cam channel. I can’t be the only one who doesn’t even look at Rob through the entire video?! Goofy, you’re the S@&$ dude! lol For real though, you’re great too Mr. Cabral. Haha
Mistakes. Repeating commands. Doing repetitions. Not correcting. My pup might get a verbal the first time. Pup does it again she’ll get a silent correction with no warning and not a word spoken.
Great video, one question: when you collar your dog to go home from the park or woods, he'll also first have to come to you. This means for the dog "end of playtime". How can you make sure your dog will still come to you if he expects that?
Uggh. So how do I reverse this? There is one area in my home that my dog NEVER comes all the way because a few times I called him to that area it was to tell him not to eat out of that trash can in that bathroom. Local trainer said to go around house and show him things not to touch. (Initially then occasionally as reminder) How to rebuild trust? Do more positive recalls? Then maybe work to trying recall in that area of home? Also would love a video on general alarm/protective barking. Can you teach your dog to bark? My dog has barked when people are on my property and does not play well with other cats or dogs. But I have not figured out how keen he is on ALL strangers. How do I figure out when to trust his bark/train his bark. He went from barking at the deer in the yard to nothing now. Yes, because when it was deer, our response was more of a “thanks but no thanks” unfortunately.
Anyone know how to train corrections in this? i.e longlines? Lets say they always come but the one time they don't, then they get away with it, how do we correct that?
Just increase the longevity every time and slowly increase the time required for it to wait before reward etc. Take it slow and increase time over weeks if that helps.
Hi Robert your the best, i seen you video at the horse ranch, trying to teach my dog to come and down while headed toward me in motion like goofy did, in what order should this be tough, he learn to complete the come command, He already knows down but when i say come, I follow it with down as he is on his way to me,but he wont go down till he gets about 3 feet from me not like on command as he is in motion . so in other words he wont go down while on his way. Help please Tony
What treats do you recommend for a 5 month old malinois? Mine gets his treat so desperate that he chokes. I am using zukki treats that are somehow chewy (not soft not crunchy). I use sometimes small pieces of hot dogs and sometimes his own food and either way he is always desperate to eat whatever is in my hands.
What breed is Goofy? I have an almost identical dog with just slightly less black on the front. She's supposed to be German Shepherd but I can find no references to blonde being a recognized GSD color. Do you know Goofy's lineage?
What do u do if he is coming towards u (in a hurry since u did recall (come) him) but all of a sudden u need to go platz immediately?(some danger to him if he keeps coming to you).. Is this addressed somewhere? Thanks.. say hi to.Goofy for me!!
I'm give my opinion here ... based on my personal experience, dog insurance is invaluable. My German Shepherd nearly died on holidays from contracting hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. He had to have blood transfusions and a week in hospital, with a follow-up of around 5 different medications a day for three weeks. The total bill came to $4,000 (Australian dollars). The insurance I bought was the most comprehensive I could get. Yes, it was a bit more expensive, but I was so glad I had it, as they covered the total bill. Not only that, but I submitted the claim on a Friday afternoon and they paid it in full by the following Monday. The following year I was dreading the premium, but it didn't go up much at all. So yes, I would definitely consider insurance. I got insurance for my boy when he was eligible at 12 weeks old. Hope that helps.
Like any insurance, it's not worth it until you need it, then you'll thank yourself for having it. I've saved thousands because all my dogs are fully insured.
Best advice ever - throw a party when your dog shows up! ❤️🐶

Love the "Toss the treat between your legs" tip. Thanks!!!
Perfect! I have done this “incorrectly” my entire life. Thank you for this valuable lesson.
Great watching Robert working with his dogs Amazing
I love this one because people always sit their dog on a recall, this makes so much sense. Thank you!

Love all the gsd and mal videos you post
This explains a lot haha...my dog sometimes stops and sits when he's still 3 ft away. I had no idea the training was the problem...guess it's back to basics
I was making this combination of come sit mistake. Thanks for "correcting" me.
These subtle tips have been missing in my training. Thank you Robert.
Great three part videos Bud.
Thanks 👍
Amazingly obvious but in two & a half years of training, I hadn't realised the damage the sit at the end would do. Really well explained, thanks you.
Simple and intelligent dog trainer.good job

Fantastic advice! Thank you!
It’s working like a charm!
Great to hear!

Love your videos, simple and easy to follow. Easily one of the best dog tutorial youtube channels around. Thank you!!

so simple , and yet i been doing this mistake everyday , today i change things

Cool. Another thing I've got right. If I want to recall my dog to a sit in front of me, I use "front" which is trained separately from the recall.
Thanks for solving my problem
Glad I found your page, fantastic easy to grasp training tips that make sense. Beautiful Mal!
Whoa. I am now glad we haven't been working on 'come'!! Dog gone it, Robert!! Excellent! What little we've done is to SIT after coming! This makes incredible sense!!

Yay I did this right. My recall ends when the dog goes around me into a heel.

how these video help a lot.. very useful and great idea and specially easy to understand on how to train your dog.. thank you for the very useful idea ... god bless.
Glad I subbed.
What is the best moment to mark (yes) the behaviour. When the dog turns and runs to you, when the dog has come or both?
Yes is the mark which I place on completion. I use GOOD as a bridge word to encourage the continuation of the behavior.

Yep ,far to much time is spent on formal recalls rather then real life recalls. Sound advice Robert. Thanks
Wow. Really helpful.

Nice videos. I would like to see a video on all your hand signals. I believe my dog responds to voice commands. I also think my dog responds to hand signals (possibly better)

Beautiful dog, amazing job, that's intense
Our German Shepherd was adopted as an adult. We think he may have been a service dog of some type. He has NO UNDERSTANDING OF TOYS OR FETCHING. He is about six or seven years old but is SO energetic off leash. He will never come when called because he runs away off leash!
train his recall first and foremost. and don't use a harness !
Oops...guilty as charged..
Thanks for pointing this out..
I love your videos, they are the best! What kind of pants are you wearing please?
As usual, great info. As an aside, any knowledge of or thoughts on Jack Healy?
Any response would be very much appreciated.
A couple questions. When u was down on the ground your dog only wanted the treats not you?? This is one method that works but I don't understand the treat thing especially on a trained dog. I don't carry bacon when I an working my cattle dogs. Is it easier for the soft hearted to train dogs with treats??
He was using the treats as the reward he was working as if the dog was untrained and still learning
Wow, awesome! Mind blown, thanks a lot!
but...but... you called him from sitting position without releasing him first. Didn't you say not to do that in first video?
yes, that's during training and for the most of the other times, but occasionally it's okay to tell him to come after a sit, it's like the dog knows how to do both things , the dog still expects a command, either a yes for release or a come to come, he didn't build the dog to think that "after i sit and stay for a while he always calls me so i better go to him now" instead the dog doesn't know what the human wants from him after the sit.
This dog understand what Robert wants though this is more to prevent confusion when you first start training the dog and showing it what you want it to do if that makes sense
Yeah...I know I am a couple years too late but I was thinking the same exact thing! Now I am sort of confused.
I'm just wondering why you go backwards? Great video, thanks.
It taps into the dog's instinct to chase.
I want my dog to do well in dog shows, how shall i start prepping him for the best results, looking forward to your answer
Great advice! I'll restart my dog using this..i do tend to make her stay i also taught her to sit or down after recall which i did not know was a big no no.

nice video, but if he doesnt come to me at all, should i shout him?chase him(guess no)? wait forever??
Love it!
I was told long ago that you not suppose to chase after your dog. What if I wants to correct my dog? What command should I use? Thanks!
Bro this is Goofy’s TH-cam channel. I can’t be the only one who doesn’t even look at Rob through the entire video?! Goofy, you’re the S@&$ dude! lol

Hi Robert your the best, i seen you video at the horse ranch, trying to teach my dog to come and down while headed toward me in motion like goofy did, in what order should this be tough, he learn to complete the come command, He already knows down but when i say come, I follow it with down as he is on his way to me,but he wont go down till he gets about 3 feet from me not like on command as he is in motion . so in other words he wont go down while on his way. Help please Tony
What treats do you recommend for a 5 month old malinois? Mine gets his treat so desperate that he chokes. I am using zukki treats that are somehow chewy (not soft not crunchy). I use sometimes small pieces of hot dogs and sometimes his own food and either way he is always desperate to eat whatever is in my hands.

What breed is Goofy? I have an almost identical dog with just slightly less black on the front. She's supposed to be German Shepherd but I can find no references to blonde being a recognized GSD color. Do you know Goofy's lineage?
What do u do if he is coming towards u (in a hurry since u did recall (come) him) but all of a sudden u need to go platz immediately?(some danger to him if he keeps coming to you)..
Is this addressed somewhere?
Thanks.. say hi to.Goofy for me!!
When i go to touch my husky on the nose he doesn’t understand its a release and he trues to playfully bite my hand
Another thing I'm trying to do is recall him and he must go behind me /bridge between my legs and sit or platz..good or bad???
Should this "action" therefore be a different command to "come/bridge/ sit or platz that I'm doing now.... sorry for all these questions..
DOG INSURANCE: WORTH IT OR NOT? AS A PUPPY? WHAT AGE SHOULD I GET IT?
I'm give my opinion here ... based on my personal experience, dog insurance is invaluable. My German Shepherd nearly died on holidays from contracting hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. He had to have blood transfusions and a week in hospital, with a follow-up of around 5 different medications a day for three weeks. The total bill came to $4,000 (Australian dollars). The insurance I bought was the most comprehensive I could get. Yes, it was a bit more expensive, but I was so glad I had it, as they covered the total bill. Not only that, but I submitted the claim on a Friday afternoon and they paid it in full by the following Monday. The following year I was dreading the premium, but it didn't go up much at all. So yes, I would definitely consider insurance. I got insurance for my boy when he was eligible at 12 weeks old. Hope that helps.
Like any insurance, it's not worth it until you need it, then you'll thank yourself for having it. I've saved thousands because all my dogs are fully insured.
Goofy is the perfect name for a Mal.
Well that’s 3/3 for me 😑
Thank you so much! U are the best trainer and this video again helped me immensly since i am making this mistake myself.
