My 6 mo puppy is raised by you , not sure if you realize how many pups you raise without even seeing them 😇. Thank you so much for what you’re doing. ❤️
I also spent many hours watching dog training videos and recently found you. No one else comes close. I really appreciate you. You deserve all the best.
I learned so much from your videos. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years, but it’s only in the last three years after watching you that I’ve become an excellent dog trainer.❤️
I have always loved animals especially dogs but despite my best intentions of actually 'training' them beyond what was required for the breed I am now in a better position to be more focused on broadening what and how I teach. You have a wonderful presentation and skill set that I am going to practice with enthusiasm and determination to be a better trainer. You motivate me in many ways to be the best I can be. Thank you sir! God bless you and your family 🤗
Well explained Nate.. I will definitely be trying all of this. I especially like the way u have.used the lead to "teach the dog" what u want the dog to do.. What an awesome spin. Real snappy.. my dog does it but a lot slower and with a lot more emphasis on.luring..
Thanks! Don't feel bad about a slower spin. Often the dogs genetics can play a roll in how fast they will perform the spin command. However, you can try some of the strategies in my "Speed up your dogs commands" video to increase your pups speed. th-cam.com/video/8I7e7NbFWpE/w-d-xo.html :)
@@NateSchoemer thank you I will definetely go.look. Stupid question do you have a "folder" where if one clicked there one would see a series of your videos.
Another awesome video, Nate! I do wish you would have used a dog that didn't already know this, though. Excellent point - never work with ANY animal when you're in a bad mood (this advice translates well to spouses, too!)
I was wondering why the dog started barking during the end training routine? Was she just excited and having fun or is there another reason? Great instructional videos by the way, very easy to follow, very clear guidance.
Yes, she always barks during training. She loves training so much and that's how she shows her excitement. :) SHe's been doing that since she was a puppy.
Your dog is hyper-focused on you. Is this because of the food lure? If not how do you accomplish this? My GSD (1.5 yrs) is so chill - he doesn't get distracted, just does things at his own pace. He's also not overly food/treat-motivated which makes it more of a challenge. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
Great question and this is why I use mealtime as training time. Meaning, I make the dog/puppy work for every bite. When they work for it, it increases the value of the food. With a puppy, I will often start with a high-quality dry food during the training process. I also usually give the puppy raw goat milk from answers, to help ensure the dog is getting enough quality nutrition. In addition, I train with freeze-dried dog food, but that can be very pricey. Usually, a high-quality kibble will be okay. I transition them to raw when all the main training is completed. However, I do continue to train the dog for the entire life of the dog. It’s just as important and playing and bonding. Lastly, engagement training will also help with your dogs focus. You can learn about that here: th-cam.com/video/UkZ7ucpK9sc/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps and if possible, consider supporting my channel. Thanks! :) www.patreon.com/NateSchoemer
Did you build that 'climb' table yourself, or did you buy it, or did you have it built? Just wondering if you knew where to get the plans from to build it myself (although it's probably pretty easy)
Great tip on training with earbuds in!! I've been wondering how to make training more energetic for both of us, as a with a lot of the things we're working on (left and right turns included!) it's so repetitive I've been getting really bored and the dog totally knows it! In this video, Arih walks backwards really beautifully- Loki now knows the commands for walking backwards, and walking backwards in a heel, but instead of walking nicely, he is pretty jerky and sort of bunny-hops backwards, and then will shuffle forward again to self correct into a proper heel position. Is this a result of something we've done wrong while training him? Or is it something that will become more natural for him with time? Thanks again!
Thanks for the question, Chloe. I would have to see a video to give you a good answer to your question. However, a lot of dogs can take a little while to really figure out how their body works. Usually with practice the can perform the behavior with a little more finesse. I would also work on the backward walk a little more out of the heel position and have him walk backward on different platforms, so he can become more aware of his backend.
do you have a video of how to teach a dog to follow you like that on your side? i haven't watched all your videos. i tried to look for it because i think i'll need that before this right?
If you Subscribe and go to his TH-cam channel and hit on Playlist ... he has everything you need under the Basic Obedience section. It’s Amazing! My favorite trainer ever and it works!
Hi Nate...I'm getting a GSD pup in a couple of days. I've been watching all your videos and preparing myself for the little one coming. She is just 5 weeks old. When should I start training her?
Once you can get the dog to do the behavior with the physical cue, you can then teach multiple behaviors at one time. Check out this video as an example. th-cam.com/video/g9n1W_cP8fg/w-d-xo.html Jump to 21:15
I don't know if you can teach a dog to sleep on command, but you can teach them to lay down. Roll over is often accomplished by luring the dog into a down and then using the lure to get them to roll over. In the early stages, you can also help the dog roll over with your hand.
hi !thanks for your videos sir !1 question,why does the dog listen to me in the house but outside he does what he wants, ignores me or walks in front of me? gsd 9 months
Hi Claudiu, I posted a video answering your question in my TH-cam Facebook group. You can get access to the group here: facebook.com/groups/NateSchoemers Thanks!

My dog overshoots stuff a lot and "guesses" what I'm going to ask him because he gets too overstimulated and hyper fixated on the food. This has been a major issue for us, I know he is capable of learning so much but he just can never execute or preform reliably/correctly because of this. For example, if he sees me have a treat or even knows I'm about to ask him to do a series of tasks he will cycle through "sit" "down" "sit" "side" "through" "go to bed" etc, all very rapidly. I've tried keeping all food until the end of the session but then I notice he doesn't care to stay focused on me. It's a vicious cycle
I would try teaching leash pressure and using the continuation marker more, to slow the pup down a little. It may also help to lower the quality of the reward. For example; if you're using treats, try using his kibble. Then I would reinforce each command with the leash pressure, so he isn't guessing what's command is coming. Here's a video on teaching leash pressure: th-cam.com/video/hCb1Y86eYBQ/w-d-xo.html

Nate, I am watching your training from Czech Republic, excellent, I and my 2 year old dogo argentino are learning a lot. 😃
I learned so much from your videos. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years, but it’s only in the last three years after watching you that I’ve become an excellent dog trainer.❤️
She's such a good doggie already
Thanks! :)
Amazing video. You are so good. And your dog is so responsive.
Nate. You are the very best.❤️🙏🏻
Thanks!
Thank you! 😁
Like that spiral technique. Thats a nice option for dogs that don't follow luring so great.
Thanks! :)
Thanks. Great video. I’m a new FF/PR trainer and always looking for additional tips! I’ll definitely be sharing this with my advanced students.
Awesome! Thanks and yes, share away. :)
Love it!!! I watched so many TH-cam video but you the best instructions video so far. Thank you. Keep it up. 💯❤️🐕
