Cliff Cheung it’s „Steh“, German for „stand“. A lot of people teach their dogs German commands. Police often does it so others can’t just command their dogs cause they don’t know the right words. Kinda smart.
My dog was really struggling and kept turning around to check the space before walking back. I read somewhere that it would help if you move a coffee table close to a couch and position your dog in between, that way this forces them to move back without turning around. This was a super helpful tip! Another adviceI have to expedite the learning once your dog gets the hang of it, is saying the command as a last step before they are free to eat. So the first time my dog fumbled a little until she took one step back I freed her. Then the next time around she got the hang of it and then from there, I increased the distance of her backing up.
Thank you for this. I was using another method and my pup and I were having a hard time. This video cleared things up and she's on her way to being a moon walker :)
Robert : I taught him to go back by doing this indoor.. Please let me know what you think.. To begin with : I arranged wooden box by the wall with enough gap between the wall and the box for the dog to pass through one way.. (One can use chairs or any prop at home to make a narrow space by the wall ) Step 1 : I stand at the other end, I lure him to come through it and treat him. Once he is in I repeat this process till he is comfortable to walk through the narrow space. Step 2: Once he is in the spot where I want him, I walk forward towards him in that narrow space which makes him to go no where but backwards.. Continued the process and then added the cue "BACK" He learnt it and does it now in open space too.. Please note : Make sure there is enough space for him to walk back with no hurdles but shouldn't have so much space for him to turn around.. I found this easy compared to doing it in open space as doing it in open space i'll have to worry about dog turning side ways.. Hope this alternate method helps those who cant get it right in open space.... Thanks
I did it the same way. I’ll try his way too to perfect it as she doesn’t understand the hand signal quite yet. I only started teaching het yesterday though ☺️
Lol, I love seeing goofy going back it's awesome. Pups doing great also, thank you so much for doing these super videos Robert. Would be lost without ur help with my Mal. Keep em coming please.
ROBERT!!! Please see this !! I really really think that this format of video using a very experienced dog and then using a less experienced dog to show how the dog should be learning!
Sir, idk who you are but your great. I get frustrated with my pup, sometimes I just give up. You give me a good reminder that it is just a pup and to have fun with the pup and take it slower.
Great help! I was struggling with “back” with my puppy as she always sits back instead of stepping back. This video cleared out lots of mistakes I made, including the hand position, the reward feeding at release and the puppy neck angle. I dont need a bench and a wall to hold my puppy in position anymore and now I can tap her nose to tell her back!
I shaped that behavior by putting two of my couches away from the wall so that my dog had no turnaround area. Then I would do what you're doing over and over again to shape the behavior! With my service dog this was really critical because there are many times when we are in stores that I need her to back up and go behind something to get out of the way of other people Etc. I found this Behavior to be actually very easy to teach.
I've been working for about a month on this with my dog. The first time it came into real use was yesterday at Cracker Barrel on Mother's Day. If you've ever been to one it's a circus show getting in and out through the Menagerie of crap they have for sale. We had to go down one aisle and be blocked by people and back up and try another one. There's not enough room to turn around. Thank you Robert for your tips and tricks my 10 month old Rottweiler service dog received several compliments on the way out on his good behavior.
After watching this I think the most important part is having a close and tight relationship with your dog. It can mean the difference between it taking a week or a month. Having a close and tight connection means your dog knows what it looks like when you're trying to teach them something, so when you're teaching them something new they pick it up super quickly. I'm a new dog owner and have only had my german shepherd for about 7 months, but this is just my take from my experience with her so far. we're on day 2 of walking backwards and she has the hand signal down :)
You and your dogs are amazing. I love it when you explained it from the dog's perspective. I have tried many of your techniques and they worked like wonders. I especially love the come command exercises and how you made it so fun. I have tried that with my 3+ months old lab and he loved it. I am now trying the more advanced command, the back command, but got a little stuck. He always sit instead of walking backwards when I walk towards him. Could you help give me additional tips of how else I could get him to walk backwards?
My dog did this as well for the first couple days....hold some treats a little lower so the dog cant sit right down.....reward with just 1 step back (do this 4 or 5 times in a row)...THEN...name it!......say back..move slow with fist toward dog with treat in closed hand, if goes back, step back yourself, yes and reward, play like hell!
Been teaching this for a wile now but my dog barks in frustration because I am asking him to back away from the treat. Also he will only back up as far as I can throw the treat. I must be doing something wrong maybe you could do another video on how to gain distance. Excellent channel been following you for quite a while now and my dog is doing great. Thanks so much.
I love your videos! You really have a way with dogs! I did have a question, I have a 12 month old rescue, she is a collie mix who I just got a month ago. She is very smart but also very high energy and was never taught not to jump as a puppy, how could I teach her not to jump now?
Hello, Robert. So I’ve been doing this training for about four days now, and I don’t know if I’m progressing. So I’m a bit confused with the rewarding system, do so let my dog eat the treats off my hand, or do I wait until I see satisfactory results ? I tried both methods, but will minimal progression. I kinda feel like I’m pressuring her to go back, and tips are welcome!
Very interested in how you would teach a dog not to chase a cat. Can you do a video on the subject? This can be any animal that tends to run away like a cat, rabbit, deer etc.
“Have fun with the dog “ key of the video, thank you
Why is your stay command, Shhtay
@@CR604 he is telling him to stand

Goofy always looks so happy to work! I love seeing my puppy grin like that. It doesn't happen often, but we're working on it.
My gsd goes like “Karen leave me alone”
Excellent trainer
This man has helped me save many dogs!

Your dog training videos really show how much of a well trained dog goofy is.
And he could do this with ANY dog......
Thx I taught my dog lulu to do this today it was so fun thx for the tutorial
YOUR AN AWESOME TRAINER
i like you showed how it supposed to look like with a trained dog and how an untrained dog will (could?) react to being taught that for the first time
watch the video again and come back. Great tip! this is a tricky one (for the handler) :)
Lol, I love seeing goofy going back it's awesome. Pups doing great also, thank you so much for doing these super videos Robert. Would be lost without ur help with my Mal. Keep em coming please.
I’m so excited to teach this to my Shepherd 🤩
Same to meh German Shepherd puppy 😎😎

Thanks for the tip. Created a hallway with couches so she couldnt turn around like you did and it was the difference maker!

Thanks! Good video, very clear!
Good video. been waiting for a decent video on teaching to walk backwards
Thanks. Hope to see you teach them walking backwards at heel too.
I Love it
Amazing! Hope could teach my dog even the heel thing :(
Thanks sir :)
Just wow! 👌
So cute
You are very good
Thank you for everything
Off to the park to try! Amazing stuff. Might be a little challenging as my dog is not treat motivated outside but we can always start indoors 😊
LOve your dog's name and I like how you respect the dog. I want to teach our dog tricks and also to distract his naughty behavior.
Thanks sir, will train my malinois now 😉
This Lab is too playful.. I like this kind of dog... Thanks for this vdo
That's not a lab
Are you referring to the second dog, Dwayne? Dwayne IS a Lab. The first one, Goofy, is a Belgian (sp?) Malinois.
It's a Lab pup,I have one the same age.The older dog is a Malinois
Goofy is amazing!!!
Good stuff!!!
Love your videos! Btw, is Ross, from FRIENDS, your son?
I love your videos! You really have a way with dogs! I did have a question, I have a 12 month old rescue, she is a collie mix who I just got a month ago. She is very smart but also very high energy and was never taught not to jump as a puppy, how could I teach her not to jump now?
Gonna try tommorow! But still have to work on recall, and outs!

For my next class, I have to show a trick that I've taught my dog. Curious to see if my pup will pull this off, or rather me!!?
