I love this video, Cesar Milan would not show the 50 odd times he’s had to tell the dog no lol, lots of trainers make it look like they do something twice and they’re miracle workers. This is more realistic to me and so easy to follow.
I agree. I have a lot more confidence in this video because unlike some of the higher profile trainers' ones, it isn't edited. What you accomplish with this pup in 10 minutes real-time is very impressive.
Well, Cesar Milan has a TV show, so he’s not going to offer an “instructional video” within the show; however, I did hear him in different episodes say that repetition is key and that you have to do this several times before the dog actually gets it and to be consistent.
Cesar Milan says this in every single episode that you have to as many repetitions as possible. And he does it the same way. One of the most important things about training dogs in being calm. In India, we have a lot of stray dogs around and I have used numerous methods shown by Cesar which has been incredibly fruitful with the 7 dogs I take care of. Now, coming to the video. I loved how consistent you are. I got a puppy last month, one of the strays that I could finally bring home after my parents relocated to another city. I am going to use this to keep my pup trained. I have some other videos on his channel as well. These strays are incredibly territorial and ferocious if not handled the right way. I hope to give him a good life through your channel.
I’m hoping to start a dog training business. I’m a 14 year old. I’ve been training dogs since age 7. And currently have a long line of people wanting me to train their dogs. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come! And I’m so thankful for people like you helping with along the way giving me so many tips and lots of useful information! Thanks for all you do.
Makes me feel so much better about how difficult this has been w my pup, gonna try this out instead of trying to start off with sit stay (I only started today so I think it’ll be perfect to try a different approach)
I’m glad the video was helpful! To improve your success rate and your dog’s speed of learning, I recommend filming your training sessions and reviewing the footage afterward. You’ll be surprised at the mistakes you can identify when watching it back. This will help you make the necessary adjustments for better results. Champions study game footage-apply the same principle here. Best of luck!
Excellent video. Shows how much patience is required to train a puppy. I love that you showed the entire process including the mistakes and not just the good parts. Kudos for keeping it real!
I really loved this video, it's easy to become disheartened when puppy doesn't seem to learn what I'm trying to teach even though I am following your advice. This video gives such a realistic picture of the persistence required , even by someone as experienced and skilled at training as yourself. It is so good to see the process with a puppy that is just learning. Thank you for such an excellent and comprehensive series of training videos, they are far and away the best on youtube.
I am loving something that I think most people are missing while he is filming and talking to the camera that dog is is learning to focus on him and to listen for key words. Awesome focus and intelligence.
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
Perfect video!! A puppy that is not trained like this one will help me out a lot on how to teach mines not like other videos where it shows their puppy knows what they’re doing with out mistakes 👍🏼
Ive looked at dogtraining videos for 30-40h before i found this channel. By far the best trainer 👍. I will get my pup on saturday, thanks for all you do and show 😁
I watch LOTS of dog training videos. This is the best “stay” lesson I’ve seen. My 11 month old, Josie, is very quick to get on her “place” or “down” or “sit”, but she doesn’t stay there more than a second unless I command “stay”…..which is silly and frustrating. We’re headed to the training room now to follow Nate’s lead here. Thanks Nate!
This is THE most realistic video of the challenges of dog training I have seen. Thank you!! It's very encouraging!! It's about persistence and patience!
I know this is two years old but I just found this video and it's amazing that you actually show us the fails and achievements. Thanks from 2 yrs into the future lol
Listen. I've watched 50 of these videos and your breakdown, patience, and simple explanation & THE USE OF MARKERS!! 👏👏 *Continuation of markers and ONLY using commands ONCE is so astronomical! Fantastic work! Thank you!! ❤️ Seriously needed this.
I love this video because you're showing what it's like to actually train the dog from scratch. This is exactly how my training is going to go with my new pup and it is so important for me to see the repetition and encouraging reinforcing method you're using and know while he won't be a rockstar overnight, eventually he'll get there.
I don’t even need to be watching this my dog is already trained but I just like how you are with dogs… And I like the way you explain things to… There are so many dog trainers on TH-cam that don’t know what the F they are doing and I can’t stand when people put Miss information or bad advice out on the Internet to teach others to be just like them… Terrible
I just discovered your channel, and i have to say I really like your way of teaching. Also, i'm getting a sable german shepherd in may, and i will follow your way of teaching. Please keep up posting videos like this, I find them very informative and helpfull as there are thousands of people online with different teaching methods. Kind regards from Belgium
I have a new puppy enrolled in Petsmart obedience class. They have a positive only training mentality and told us never to use the word "no" or use any corrective sounds. It's ridiculous and frustrating. Thank you for showing using a corrective word is not a cruel method.
You have been the most helpful trainer by far! Your methods work - your explanations are clear - I am seeing immediate results with my 5 month old pup. Thank you!
Nate, I'll be getting a 14-month-old half Cattle herder, half Heeler. She's a female named, Luna. I am so excited to be working so many of your techniques. I love the way you teach us humans how to work with canines. I a new fan!
I love this!! Watching her start w no understanding advance moment by moment into a comprehension of the command! Excellent way to present a stay command! So much more universal and easy to process! I have never done it w using a climb/trampoline before! This is awesome! I am ordering one now! I am training my 1 yr old now and needed more variety than what I have done before. Thank you for your expertise and videos! They are so helpful!
I know...sweet little baby learning. I don't understand getting "mad" at animals. I feel honored they're letting me try to teach them things and I find them fascinating! ❤
Million thanx to you ma man.I have used futsek word for my dog to be more aggressive.I live in South Africa,futsek is the swearing word that we normally use to chase the dog away.Not my dog today some1 passed swearing fustek then it started to be more aggressive.I also know how to train dogs in many ways
Honestly these videos have been a god send - I dont even have a puppy yet but am soon to get one and have come across your channel. Love how everything has been broken down. Thank you so so much for this - for a first time dog owner you've have been very a life saver!
Your videos are extremely informative and helpful. I'm working on training a service dog for my husband (7 month old mini labradoodle) and taking the Petsmart classes, however your videos are more informative on how to correct and get the desired results than the classes.
She's so locked in and focused on you. Mine acts like he wants to please but seems to simultaneously have a 5 second attention span before he just trots off to look for something better to do.. which is making everything more of a hassle.
Hey Nate, I Wanted to say your videos on youtube have been super helpful and encouraging for me and my new little puppy. I just rescued this little hound a few weeks ago and she's such a good little dogo. Personally I did not know where to begin with training or how to start. After watching your videos, it has inspired me to become more patient and help me become a better dog owner, really take dogo training seriously. Right now we are learning how to wait for meals and entering/exiting door ways using the methods you shared. At first I grew very frustrated but as I continued to remain calm and work at it; she began to understand a little. Still got a long way to go. Maybe I could make a progress video to keep track of the training from beginning to where I would be farther down in her training. Thank you so much for all you do. I know how much work goes into this and making this available for free is much appreciated. Maybe one day when I can afford to, I'll book a zoom training session with yah. Hope you're having a great day! Take care!
This actually makes so much more sense to me than teaching stay with a stay command. We were always taught you walk off on left foot for heel and right for stay but also used the stay signal. This way is less complicated for people, especially if new to training and often get left and right confused whilst trying to juggle leash, treats and remember what they need to do!
This is a great traing video. I am going to start teaching my 7 month lab pup how to stay using your technique. Can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thanks for sharing. 😊
The continuation marker which is yes in this video lets the puppy stay and gets his reward when he stays in the position you wanted him him to be. What am missing is when you will teach him the command marker i.e. stay, which you mentioned in the start of the video.
A marker pin points a moment in time when the dog is right or wrong. A command is something you are telling the dog to perform. I don't use the command "Stay", once I ask a dog to perform a behavior, they are in a stay. Unless I use a terminal marker, release word, or if I give the dog a new command. :)
I'm really loving your videos! Thank you so much. I'm mainly realizing how much patience is required to teach a dog how to do something. It's hard to break things down into smaller steps, but you have really helped with doing that, also. Thank you so very much!
My dog doesn’t know how to write but she does know English… Dogs are capable of so much more than most people realize. I just talk to her whenever we do stuff like going upstairs, going outside, get off,Hold on, wait, stop, Kong, ball, find it, where? Etc...
Thank you so much for sharing this vid and your mistakes. I struggle with keeping the order right because our 8 week old Belgian Malinois puppy is already much smarter than me and has anticipated the treats reward. I will definitely try replacing the treats with a second toy. He does this thing where he displays other treat-worthy behaviors like sitting or lying down to get the reward because I’m too slow with the delivery. A second toy might be faster and more fun for him. It gives me more confidence to see we are all works in progress and I can’t wait to watch more of your vids!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the videos are helping. Check out this video on spacing out rewards and creating a proactive dog. :) Spacing out rewards: th-cam.com/video/a2OBoptftYs/w-d-xo.html Proactive dog: th-cam.com/video/tEU6gM_sHYI/w-d-xo.html
I like the idea of the implied stay when giving a command such as sit or down. One challenge is with a common command such as sit or down they have to always be released from that command (terminal marker, release word or another command). That works for me but with my family (wife and two young kids) having to enforce that every time (consistency) is going to be challenging. We are just looking for good obedience from our dog, no competitions. Any suggestions or thoughts? Can I use a stay command?
Dogs are very situational and will learn who they need to listen to and who they don't have to listen to. I would worry about it. However, if you want to use the stay command, then just make it predict something. So, once I know the dog will stay, then before I walk away, I would say stay. This will teach the dog that stay means maintaining the position and that the human is walking away.
Hey Jeff, how did you get on with this any tips? I will be in a similar position soon. @@NateSchoemer whats the longest you can/should keep the dog in a stay, Sit, down position? I'm assuming that to release them we always have to say the Terminal marker and then reward? What happens if they release them self? Im thinking like 20/mins or 30mins for when we have people over.
I just discovered your training and it is great. I have Springer Spaniels and what you show is working. One question is I notice you use an elevated bed or item for place or where your teaching the stay. Is that easier for the dog to understand when it is elevated where to go versus just a dog bed or blanket on the floor?
Hello, I'm only now finding your channel and I'm so so happy I have! Question though can more than one person in the household train a dog or will that confuse our pet?
Why are you using “no” as opposed to “wrong” in this case? Doesn't "wrong" predict negative reinforcement (leash pressure) which you are using? Thanks for all your videos!
I don't use a stay command. When I put a dog in a commanded position, the stay is implied. Most people call the dogs bed the place command. It just means to go to an elevated position and stay there until released. You can learn a lot more about this in my dog training manual. amzn.to/2P2tyQH Cheers!
At what age do I start implementing my pup staying in a position and not breaking it? Right now he’ll do the command and then that’s it. If I put him in a heel position he’ll go there and then once he gets the treat he breaks
If the dog knows leash pressure, then you can start teaching the stay. Start with a climb (bed) stay first and then progress to the more difficult stays. This is the order that I teach different stay commands. 1) Climb stay 2) Sit stay 3) Down Stay 4) Stand stay (very sort duration) 5) Center stay 6) Center stay while walking 7) Stationary heel stay 8) Heel stay while walking
Amazing videos, I have a Malinois puppy, he is 12 weeks old. These are just what I need. Do you have a video explaining the order to watch these for a new puppy or could you recommend to me. Thanks for the videos they are greatly appreciated
Hi Dwayne. Yes, I would recommend watching them in order from episode one. The basic obedience course was designed to be watched that way. I would also suggest watching the 1st episode in the service dog series. Thanks for the comment and for supporting the channel. Cheers! :)
Nate Schoemer Great, Thank You I absolutely support and recommend this channel, it truly is so helpful and educational Thanks again brother, you and your family stay safe and healthy 👍🏻
Thanks! When teaching a stay, we don't need to say "stay," the stay is implied when you put your dog into a commanded position. However, some people feel more comfortable saying the word “Stay”. If that’s the case with you, feel free to use the word as it won’t negatively impact the training. :)
So cool to see so many failures cause usually we are watching stuff like this and it looks so easy. or the dog gets it after the 10 time. it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong after the thousandth time of my puppy failing. So THANK YOU
Awesome videos! Such a relief to find step by step instructions- thank you! Question. We watched a video where you discuss marker dog training and was under the impression that ‘no’ meant wrong/bad behaviour ie carpet chewing and must be stopped. ‘Wrong’ was used in training to show you will correct and show proper action required. In this video though you use no to correct the pup. Could you clarify ? Thanks!
Thanks! In this video I was using "no" to predict leash pressure. Usually I use the word "wrong" to predict leash pressure (Negative reinforcement). However, each dog can have different words or sounds for different markers. For Harley, no meant leash pressure. Other dogs "no" may mean a correction. We can customize our markers and commands to fit the dog we are working with. I hope that helps and makes sense. Cheers!
I'm so glad I found you!! We're getting a Malinois puppy in the next month to have as a protection dog for our family (as I am disabled and stay home alone during the day). Upon doing research on the Malinois breed, I understand training is paramount to the overall health and temperament of the dog! You may have done a video on this already (since I'm a new subscriber, I haven't seen it yet!), but are you able to show some training on how to get a dog to attack, or how to protect a house? Thanks for giving us all this valuable information!! I'm sure our future dog will thank you! :)
Hey Nate. Been thrashing your videos they are so simply and easy to grasp. I am wondering how to teach the sit stay while still utilising the platform. Do I use the climb command followed by sit. Or lure him up there tell him to sit without the climb. Just want to make sure it’s the correct order! Thanks
Love the video thank you. I love you videos! I have a Malinois She is 10 months old . Very sweet would not hart any one. Very smart. One big problem, she is cat CRAZY. I don't believe she would hart them intentionally. when the cat is on a kitchen chair she runs circles around them with a toy in her mouth barking and whining. when she gets face to face with the cat , the cat smacks her in the nose, I think they both think is a game When she come in from outside the first thing is to shoot across the room to look for a cat. When the cats are on the other side of a child gate she charges the gate slams into it and barks like she wants to rip them a part. Kind of scary. There is a lot of staring down cats. She has had many time she could have gotten a cat. The only time she is on a leash is when she is in when we come in from outside. How can I make her not so TORQUED up when she sees the cats? Is there a video you have I didn't see that would help? Thank you again.
Thanks! I think my behavioral and modification flowchart might be helpful. Check it out and let me know if you have any follow up questions. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/bPkW3SWblfM/w-d-xo.html
Depends on what the word means and predicts to the dog. In this situation I was using “no” to predict negative reinforcement, which in this case is leash pressure. So I say no and then I use the leash pressure to show the dog what I want, which is to stop what they are doing or go back to the previous position. If no was predicting positive punishment (physical correction), then I would say no, correct the dog, re-command the behavior the dog broke, then assist them with the physical cue back to the commanded position. 😁🐶
Great video. I'm training my first Malinois, she looks a lot like your puppy. I like the idea of the implied stay command but how do you stop a dog in its tracks without downing the dog? We spend a lot of time on the trails mostly off leash on Montana.
Thanks! You can teach a stop moving command. If you want to use the word, "Stay" you can. When walking on a loose leash, tell the dog to stay and then apply pressure on the leash preventing any forward movement. Just be sure to say the command before applying the leash pressure. You'll continue to do this until you say "stay" and before you apply the pressure, your pup stops moving. I hope that helps! :)
I have a Belgian mal and i cannot seem to get her to stay mainly when i leave her sight ive done thos type of training for many many hours now . I can train dogs. Ive trained her to get my sock ,boot,and a glove if she wants to play . As well as all the parlor tricks sit down over play dead crawl etc. Any assistance advice would be appreciated. I looked into k9 training as a carrer ten fifteen years ago but i realized most of the training carrers available dont train k9s at all they train ther human owners.
Thanks for commenting. If your dog is responding to your marker that predicts leash pressure. The way I use the word "no" in this video. Then you can add a marker that predicts positive punishment. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/bPkW3SWblfM/w-d-xo.html I hope this is helpful and thank for supporting the channel. Cheers!
When teaching a stay, I don't say "stay," the stay is implied when you put your dog into a commanded position. However, some people feel more comfortable saying the word “Stay”. If that’s the case with you, feel free to use the word as it won’t negatively impact the training. There are the two positive types of markers: The first one is the continuation marker (I like to use the word “yes”). This is a word or sound that lets the dog know that they are correct and will be delivered a reward. It’s called a continuation marker because unlike the terminal marker, it doesn’t release the dog. Meaning, if your dog is in a command stay, you can use this marker without releasing the dog from the stay. However, if your dog is not in a command stay, then this marker just means they’ll be rewarded. Therefore, this often confuses people because of the terminology “continuation”. This is why it’s easier to understand by what it predicts: A continuation marker predicts a reward. That’s it. It doesn’t change the circumstances, so if the dog is in a stay, they remain in the stay, and if the dog is not in a stay, then they remain free from the stay. In contrast, we have the terminal markers (I like to use the word “free”). These release dogs from commanded positions as well as guaranteeing a reward. Ex.: If a dog was in a sitting position and you use your terminal marker, they are released from that position and will be given a reward (indicating the sit behavior is finished).
When would you put a name on it though instead of just saying ‘yes’. So instead of using treats and making them move with them actually saying ‘sit’ or ‘lay’
Whats the longest you can/should keep the dog in a stay, Sit, down position? Im thinking like 20/mins or 30mins for when we have people over. I'm also assuming that to release them we always have to say the Terminal marker and then reward? What happens if they release them self?
A 20 min down stay would be okay, but I wouldn't have a dog in a 20 min sit stay. If I want to keep a dog in an extended stay, I prefer to use a climb stay, as demonstrated in this video. If I want to release a dog from a stay, I have three options. 1) Give the dog a new command, such as a recall (come when called) 2) Use a release word. I like to use the word "break." A release word just releases a dog; it doesn't predict a reward like the terminal marker. 3) Use the terminal marker. If the dogs release themself, then follow the process that I demonstrate in this video.
@@NateSchoemer So, Initially if I use the word "Free" I have to reward them? At what stage can I switch from a reward to the non reward word like "break" ? Do you have a video for the 1) Come when called? Also if everytime I use the terminal Marker I assume I will have to reward them? Thank you so much - you're videos are really prepping me mentally for when I get my little puppy next week. :-)
The moment she goes to lay down, calmly say "wrong" or whatever word you use to predict leash pressure (negative reinforcement). In this video, Harley's marker for negative reinforcement is "No." After you say your marker, calmly walk back to your dog and use the leash pressure to bring your puppy back into the sit. Once sitting, release the tension and praise, but don't give a treat. The reason for this is that some dogs will break the position on purpose, so they can get the reward when placed back into the stay position. Cheers!
I never had one of them stand things when trained my dog to sit and stay . But like if I get her to sit then stay if ppl come in she will move from her sit I will say no she will then go to her spot ie bed in living room sit and I say stay . Should I get a platform like this and go back to the start and do what u are doing. Thank you .
I love this video, Cesar Milan would not show the 50 odd times he’s had to tell the dog no lol, lots of trainers make it look like they do something twice and they’re miracle workers. This is more realistic to me and so easy to follow.
Thank you! I'm happy the video is helpful and yes, I love showing the actual training process. That's the best way to learn. :)
I agree. I have a lot more confidence in this video because unlike some of the higher profile trainers' ones, it isn't edited. What you accomplish with this pup in 10 minutes real-time is very impressive.

Now, coming to the video. I loved how consistent you are. I got a puppy last month, one of the strays that I could finally bring home after my parents relocated to another city. I am going to use this to keep my pup trained. I have some other videos on his channel as well. These strays are incredibly territorial and ferocious if not handled the right way. I hope to give him a good life through your channel.
I totally agree. Every other video I have seen makes me feel that I am doing something wrong. Since their puppies miraculously listen the second time.
This is an encouraging video because this puppy is ......being trained, (untrained) and I am learning the patience needed for the training process
Thanks! I'm happy the video was helpful. :)
God .. so true. My patience. This is something I really have to work on.
I’m hoping to start a dog training business. I’m a 14 year old. I’ve been training dogs since age 7. And currently have a long line of people wanting me to train their dogs. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come! And I’m so thankful for people like you helping with along the way giving me so many tips and lots of useful information! Thanks for all you do.
Love that you demo with a dog that is new to this behavior ❤
Thanks, Julia!
Makes me feel so much better about how difficult this has been w my pup, gonna try this out instead of trying to start off with sit stay (I only started today so I think it’ll be perfect to try a different approach)
I’m glad the video was helpful! To improve your success rate and your dog’s speed of learning, I recommend filming your training sessions and reviewing the footage afterward.

Excellent video. Shows how much patience is required to train a puppy. I love that you showed the entire process including the mistakes and not just the good parts. Kudos for keeping it real!
Thanks, Yeshwanth Ja! :)
So great to see a dog that is just learning. Many trainers use a dog that already has the behavior. This is sooooo helpful.
We live on the shoulders of giants, and you sir Nate are a giant in the dog training community.
Thank you, Endphen! That means a lot to me. 🙏😁
These are the best videos, where you teach an eager dog from scratch. You really see how the dog learns.
Thank you for these videos.
My pleasure and thank you very much! :)

Perfect video!! A puppy that is not trained like this one will help me out a lot on how to teach mines not like other videos where it shows their puppy knows what they’re doing with out mistakes 👍🏼
Thanks! I'm happy the video was helpful. :)
Ive looked at dogtraining videos for 30-40h before i found this channel. By far the best trainer 👍. I will get my pup on saturday, thanks for all you do and show 😁
Awesome! Thanks, I really appreciate that! :)
Hey, how’d your puppy gotten along with training. I’m trying to train my pup right now.
Great that you show how patient one should be and that succsss does not happen in 5mins.
I watch LOTS of dog training videos. This is the best “stay” lesson I’ve seen. My 11 month old, Josie, is very quick to get on her “place” or “down” or “sit”, but she doesn’t stay there more than a second unless I command “stay”…..which is silly and frustrating. We’re headed to the training room now to follow Nate’s lead here. Thanks Nate!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the video was helpful. :)
I was getting super frustrated using “stay” verbal command with no luck! Will try your technique.
Why are you using “no” as opposed to “wrong”? Thanks for all your videos!
10/10 video awesome seeing the dog be trained in real time not just talking about it
This is THE most realistic video of the challenges of dog training I have seen. Thank you!! It's very encouraging!! It's about persistence and patience!
Precise and complete. Thanks!
Thank you!
Awsome my grandson is watching your videos to train his husky. She is a approximately a year old and we got her from the shelter.
I know this is two years old but I just found this video and it's amazing that you actually show us the fails and achievements. Thanks from 2 yrs into the future lol
Listen. I've watched 50 of these videos and your breakdown, patience, and simple explanation & THE USE OF MARKERS!! 👏👏 *Continuation of markers and ONLY using commands ONCE is so astronomical! Fantastic work! Thank you!! ❤️

I have a new puppy enrolled in Petsmart obedience class. They have a positive only training mentality and told us never to use the word "no" or use any corrective sounds. It's ridiculous and frustrating. Thank you for showing using a corrective word is not a cruel method.
Lol! Yes, it's okay to correct a dog and its vital if you ever want reliability. :)
You have been the most helpful trainer by far! Your methods work - your explanations are clear - I am seeing immediate results with my 5 month old pup. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! :)
At 2:01 the dog is out of sight, camera tilts and you hear “Jesu*” 🤣😂😆. Definitely keeping it real. No edit needed! Love it!
Hahaha! 🤣😂 I forgot about that!
Love your stuff and how you break it down. Keep it coming, unedited and all! 👌🏽😃
And there's also the violent attack of the camera-woman at the beginning!! 😆 💗🐾🐾 (crazy puppo😂😂)
Nate, I'll be getting a 14-month-old half Cattle herder, half Heeler. She's a female named, Luna. I am so excited to be working so many of your techniques. I love the way you teach us humans how to work with canines. I a new fan!
Awesome, Congrats! Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm happy the videos are helping. :)
Hi I noticed you use break at the end but could use use your terminal marker instead
I love this!! Watching her start w no understanding advance moment by moment into a comprehension of the command! Excellent way to present a stay command! So much more universal and easy to process! I have never done it w using a climb/trampoline before! This is awesome! I am ordering one now!
I am training my 1 yr old now and needed more variety than what I have done before.
Thank you for your expertise and videos! They are so helpful!
First realistic video I see. Thank you.
Great video. This makes so much sense when u see the continuous corrections.
i laughed when the dog kept getting off the stand over and over. How adorable! Good videos! Learning a lot
I know...sweet little baby learning. I don't understand getting "mad" at animals. I feel honored they're letting me try to teach them things and I find them fascinating! ❤
Million thanx to you ma man.I have used futsek word for my dog to be more aggressive.I live in South Africa,futsek is the swearing word that we normally use to chase the dog away.Not my dog today some1 passed swearing fustek then it started to be more aggressive.I also know how to train dogs in many ways
I have just found your videos and for the last 3 days I have done 15 min of training a day and at 17 weeks she is already kicking goals. Thankyou
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the videos are helping. :)
Honestly these videos have been a god send - I dont even have a puppy yet but am soon to get one and have come across your channel. Love how everything has been broken down.
Thank you so so much for this - for a first time dog owner you've have been very a life saver!
Thank you, I really appreciate that, and I'm happy the videos have been so helpful! :)
Your videos are extremely informative and helpful. I'm working on training a service dog for my husband (7 month old mini labradoodle) and taking the Petsmart classes, however your videos are more informative on how to correct and get the desired results than the classes.
Great training, will try it tomorrow,!!
Thanks, and best of luck!
She's so locked in and focused on you. Mine acts like he wants to please but seems to simultaneously have a 5 second attention span before he just trots off to look for something better to do.. which is making everything more of a hassle.
Hey Nate,
I Wanted to say your videos on youtube have been super helpful and encouraging for me and my new little puppy. I just rescued this little hound a few weeks ago and she's such a good little dogo. Personally I did not know where to begin with training or how to start. After watching your videos, it has inspired me to become more patient and help me become a better dog owner, really take dogo training seriously. Right now we are learning how to wait for meals and entering/exiting door ways using the methods you shared. At first I grew very frustrated but as I continued to remain calm and work at it; she began to understand a little. Still got a long way to go. Maybe I could make a progress video to keep track of the training from beginning to where I would be farther down in her training.
Thank you so much for all you do. I know how much work goes into this and making this available for free is much appreciated. Maybe one day when I can afford to, I'll book a zoom training session with yah.
Hope you're having a great day! Take care!
Awesome! Thanks, Albert. I'm happy the videos have been so helpful! :)
Great video will definitely try this once I pick up my puppy this month
"I want to..NO". lol. I love your videos Nate!
Very good thank you.
You’re welcome-thanks for watching!
This actually makes so much more sense to me than teaching stay with a stay command. We were always taught you walk off on left foot for heel and right for stay but also used the stay signal. This way is less complicated for people, especially if new to training and often get left and right confused whilst trying to juggle leash, treats and remember what they need to do!
Yes, I agree. Thanks for sharing! :)
This is a great traing video. I am going to start teaching my 7 month lab pup how to stay using your technique. Can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Great video! Great instruction and example with a dog who has not learned the command. Very helpful!
Thank you very much!
Very good video thank you so much sir
Thanks, Mostafa!
Thank you you take your time and I can understand you
Needs long patience and time😊 good tutorials, thank you!
Thank you! :)
Thank you. This was very helpful, especially not to repeat no, no.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
The continuation marker which is yes in this video lets the puppy stay and gets his reward when he stays in the position you wanted him him to be. What am missing is when you will teach him the command marker i.e. stay, which you mentioned in the start of the video.
A marker pin points a moment in time when the dog is right or wrong. A command is something you are telling the dog to perform. I don't use the command "Stay", once I ask a dog to perform a behavior, they are in a stay. Unless I use a terminal marker, release word, or if I give the dog a new command. :)
6:50 lol 😂
I learn a lots from you sir Nate👍👌🙏🐕🇵🇭
Love this! Thank you! So glad I found you and your videos!
Another great video Nate - Thank you!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. :)
I'm really loving your videos! Thank you so much. I'm mainly realizing how much patience is required to teach a dog how to do something. It's hard to break things down into smaller steps, but you have really helped with doing that, also. Thank you so very much!
Awesome, thank you and you are so welcome! :)
Subscribed, thanks for the way teach us, very easy to follow
Thank you for supporting the channel, I really appreciate it! 😁🙏🐶🐕
I also like to NO ksksksks this is really great content, been searching for this specific lesson, thank you so much! 😊
wow. I learned a ton. thank you sir .
That is pretty good info right there! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! :)
thank you for this video.
My dog doesn’t know how to write but she does know English… Dogs are capable of so much more than most people realize. I just talk to her whenever we do stuff like going upstairs, going outside, get off,Hold on, wait, stop, Kong, ball, find it, where? Etc...
Up,down...Even left and she is learning right! Haha
Lol! Yes, I talk to my dogs all the time as well. :)
That is how I have trained all my dogs, by talking to them.
Thank you so much for sharing this vid and your mistakes. I struggle with keeping the order right because our 8 week old Belgian Malinois puppy is already much smarter than me and has anticipated the treats reward. I will definitely try replacing the treats with a second toy. He does this thing where he displays other treat-worthy behaviors like sitting or lying down to get the reward because I’m too slow with the delivery. A second toy might be faster and more fun for him. It gives me more confidence to see we are all works in progress and I can’t wait to watch more of your vids!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the videos are helping. Check out this video on spacing out rewards and creating a proactive dog. :)

Always helpful information.
Thanks, Patrick!
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting! :)
I like the idea of the implied stay when giving a command such as sit or down. One challenge is with a common command such as sit or down they have to always be released from that command (terminal marker, release word or another command). That works for me but with my family (wife and two young kids) having to enforce that every time (consistency) is going to be challenging. We are just looking for good obedience from our dog, no competitions. Any suggestions or thoughts? Can I use a stay command?
Dogs are very situational and will learn who they need to listen to and who they don't have to listen to. I would worry about it. However, if you want to use the stay command, then just make it predict something. So, once I know the dog will stay, then before I walk away, I would say stay. This will teach the dog that stay means maintaining the position and that the human is walking away.
Hey Jeff, how did you get on with this any tips? I will be in a similar position soon. @@NateSchoemer whats the longest you can/should keep the dog in a stay, Sit, down position? I'm assuming that to release them we always have to say the Terminal marker and then reward? What happens if they release them self? Im thinking like 20/mins or 30mins for when we have people over.
@@NateSchoemer Hey Nate- did you mean to say "would" or "wouldn't" worry here? Just making sure I understood all you were saying here...thx!
Good to see you bro!
Thanks bro! :)
I just discovered your training and it is great. I have Springer Spaniels and what you show is working. One question is I notice you use an elevated bed or item for place or where your teaching the stay. Is that easier for the dog to understand when it is elevated where to go versus just a dog bed or blanket on the floor?
Thanks Nate. Good session. Explained well.
Thank you Kavita!
Great Vid ....shows how it really is to train a puppy
Thanks, Kaya! I appreciate that! Cheers!
these are very helpful with my basset
Super method. How easy it is!
Thanks! :)
Great content. Such a cute puppy too 😊
Yay! Thanks, I appreciate that and the support! She's a little rockstar!
Hello, I'm only now finding your channel and I'm so so happy I have!
Question though can more than one person in the household train a dog or will that confuse our pet?
Great video!
Awesome video !!!!!!!
Thanks! :)
Why are you using “no” as opposed to “wrong” in this case? Doesn't "wrong" predict negative reinforcement (leash pressure) which you are using? Thanks for all your videos!
Awesome Bro thanks you !
Hi,
Can you Tell me, what’s is the difference between stay and place?
I don't use a stay command. When I put a dog in a commanded position, the stay is implied. Most people call the dogs bed the place command. It just means to go to an elevated position and stay there until released. You can learn a lot more about this in my dog training manual. amzn.to/2P2tyQH Cheers!
At what age do I start implementing my pup staying in a position and not breaking it? Right now he’ll do the command and then that’s it. If I put him in a heel position he’ll go there and then once he gets the treat he breaks
If the dog knows leash pressure, then you can start teaching the stay. Start with a climb (bed) stay first and then progress to the more difficult stays. This is the order that I teach different stay commands.
1) Climb stay
2) Sit stay
3) Down Stay
4) Stand stay (very sort duration)
5) Center stay
6) Center stay while walking
7) Stationary heel stay
8) Heel stay while walking
Amazing videos, I have a Malinois puppy, he is 12 weeks old. These are just what I need. Do you have a video explaining the order to watch these for a new puppy or could you recommend to me.
Thanks for the videos they are greatly appreciated
Hi Dwayne. Yes, I would recommend watching them in order from episode one. The basic obedience course was designed to be watched that way. I would also suggest watching the 1st episode in the service dog series. Thanks for the comment and for supporting the channel. Cheers! :)
Nate Schoemer Great, Thank You
I absolutely support and recommend this channel, it truly is so helpful and educational
Thanks again brother, you and your family stay safe and healthy 👍🏻
Love the fact that you show the whole process! Is there a reason why you don't actually use or teach her the word "stay"?
Thanks! When teaching a stay, we don't need to say "stay," the stay is implied when you put your dog into a commanded position. However, some people feel more comfortable saying the word “Stay”. If that’s the case with you, feel free to use the word as it won’t negatively impact the training. :)
@@NateSchoemer great to know, thanks for the quick reply!
So cool to see so many failures cause usually we are watching stuff like this and it looks so easy. or the dog gets it after the 10 time. it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong after the thousandth time of my puppy failing. So THANK YOU
My pleasure. I'm happy the video was helpful and thanks for commenting! :)
Awesome videos! Such a relief to find step by step instructions- thank you!
Question. We watched a video where you discuss marker dog training and was under the impression that ‘no’ meant wrong/bad behaviour ie carpet chewing and must be stopped. ‘Wrong’ was used in training to show you will correct and show proper action required. In this video though you use no to correct the pup. Could you clarify ? Thanks!
Thanks! In this video I was using "no" to predict leash pressure. Usually I use the word "wrong" to predict leash pressure (Negative reinforcement). However, each dog can have different words or sounds for different markers. For Harley, no meant leash pressure. Other dogs "no" may mean a correction. We can customize our markers and commands to fit the dog we are working with. I hope that helps and makes sense. Cheers!
Great stuff man!!!!!
Thanks, Joel! :)
I'm so glad I found you!! We're getting a Malinois puppy in the next month to have as a protection dog for our family (as I am disabled and stay home alone during the day). Upon doing research on the Malinois breed, I understand training is paramount to the overall health and temperament of the dog! You may have done a video on this already (since I'm a new subscriber, I haven't seen it yet!), but are you able to show some training on how to get a dog to attack, or how to protect a house? Thanks for giving us all this valuable information!! I'm sure our future dog will thank you! :)
Thanks, I appreciate that. This is the only protection training video that I have up so far. th-cam.com/video/QNba6DA0l2M/w-d-xo.html
@@NateSchoemer Thank you so much!! :D
@@movingmountainshomestead hope you lr dog protects you all the time. Hoping your safe, always.
Another great video.
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate that! :)
Hey Nate. Been thrashing your videos they are so simply and easy to grasp. I am wondering how to teach the sit stay while still utilising the platform. Do I use the climb command followed by sit. Or lure him up there tell him to sit without the climb. Just want to make sure it’s the correct order! Thanks
Thanks! Either is fine. Cheers!
Love the video thank you. I love you videos!
I have a Malinois She is 10 months old . Very sweet would not hart any one. Very smart.
One big problem, she is cat CRAZY. I don't believe she would hart them intentionally.
when the cat is on a kitchen chair she runs circles around them with a toy in her mouth barking and whining.
when she gets face to face with the cat , the cat smacks her in the nose, I think they both think is a game
When she come in from outside the first thing is to shoot across the room to look for a cat.
When the cats are on the other side of a child gate she charges the gate slams into it and barks like she wants to rip
them a part. Kind of scary. There is a lot of staring down cats. She has had many time she could have gotten a cat.
The only time she is on a leash is when she is in when we come in from outside.
How can I make her not so TORQUED up when she sees the cats?
Is there a video you have I didn't see that would help?
Thank you again.
Thanks! I think my behavioral and modification flowchart might be helpful. Check it out and let me know if you have any follow up questions. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/bPkW3SWblfM/w-d-xo.html
@@NateSchoemer Thank you sooo much. What a wealth of information.
Thank you
Thank You
Thank You
Hey Nate!
Would it not be better if you gave the command "CLIMB" again after "NO" and before guiding the dog back?
Thanks alot!
Depends on what the word means and predicts to the dog. In this situation I was using “no” to predict negative reinforcement, which in this case is leash pressure. So I say no and then I use the leash pressure to show the dog what I want, which is to stop what they are doing or go back to the previous position. If no was predicting positive punishment (physical correction), then I would say no, correct the dog, re-command the behavior the dog broke, then assist them with the physical cue back to the commanded position. 😁🐶
Great video. I'm training my first Malinois, she looks a lot like your puppy.
I like the idea of the implied stay command but how do you stop a dog in its tracks without downing the dog? We spend a lot of time on the trails mostly off leash on Montana.
Thanks! You can teach a stop moving command. If you want to use the word, "Stay" you can. When walking on a loose leash, tell the dog to stay and then apply pressure on the leash preventing any forward movement. Just be sure to say the command before applying the leash pressure. You'll continue to do this until you say "stay" and before you apply the pressure, your pup stops moving. I hope that helps! :)
I have a Belgian mal and i cannot seem to get her to stay mainly when i leave her sight ive done thos type of training for many many hours now . I can train dogs. Ive trained her to get my sock ,boot,and a glove if she wants to play . As well as all the parlor tricks sit down over play dead crawl etc. Any assistance advice would be appreciated. I looked into k9 training as a carrer ten fifteen years ago but i realized most of the training carrers available dont train k9s at all they train ther human owners.
Thanks for commenting. If your dog is responding to your marker that predicts leash pressure. The way I use the word "no" in this video. Then you can add a marker that predicts positive punishment. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/bPkW3SWblfM/w-d-xo.html I hope this is helpful and thank for supporting the channel. Cheers!
When do you put a call on it? Like telling her to stay
When teaching a stay, I don't say "stay," the stay is implied when you put your dog into a commanded position. However, some people feel more comfortable saying the word “Stay”. If that’s the case with you, feel free to use the word as it won’t negatively impact the training.
There are the two positive types of markers: The first one is the continuation marker (I like to use the word “yes”). This is a word or sound that lets the dog know that they are correct and will be delivered a reward. It’s called a continuation marker because unlike the terminal marker, it doesn’t release the dog. Meaning, if your dog is in a command stay, you can use this marker without releasing the dog from the stay.
However, if your dog is not in a command stay, then this marker just means they’ll be rewarded. Therefore, this often confuses people because of the terminology “continuation”. This is why it’s easier to understand by what it predicts: A continuation marker predicts a reward. That’s it. It doesn’t change the circumstances, so if the dog is in a stay, they remain in the stay, and if the dog is not in a stay, then they remain free from the stay.
In contrast, we have the terminal markers (I like to use the word “free”). These release dogs from commanded positions as well as guaranteeing a reward. Ex.: If a dog was in a sitting position and you use your terminal marker, they are released from that position and will be given a reward (indicating the sit behavior is finished).
When would you put a name on it though instead of just saying ‘yes’. So instead of using treats and making them move with them actually saying ‘sit’ or ‘lay’
Whats the longest you can/should keep the dog in a stay, Sit, down position? Im thinking like 20/mins or 30mins for when we have people over.
I'm also assuming that to release them we always have to say the Terminal marker and then reward? What happens if they release them self?
A 20 min down stay would be okay, but I wouldn't have a dog in a 20 min sit stay. If I want to keep a dog in an extended stay, I prefer to use a climb stay, as demonstrated in this video.
If I want to release a dog from a stay, I have three options.
1) Give the dog a new command, such as a recall (come when called)
2) Use a release word. I like to use the word "break." A release word just releases a dog; it doesn't predict a reward like the terminal marker.
3) Use the terminal marker.
If the dogs release themself, then follow the process that I demonstrate in this video.
@@NateSchoemer So, Initially if I use the word "Free" I have to reward them? At what stage can I switch from a reward to the non reward word like "break" ?
Do you have a video for the 1) Come when called?
Also if everytime I use the terminal Marker I assume I will have to reward them?
Thank you so much - you're videos are really prepping me mentally for when I get my little puppy next week. :-)
When doing the sit stay with my puppy she likes to lay down in the middle of it. What should I do to keep her in the sit and to not lay down?
The moment she goes to lay down, calmly say "wrong" or whatever word you use to predict leash pressure (negative reinforcement). In this video, Harley's marker for negative reinforcement is "No." After you say your marker, calmly walk back to your dog and use the leash pressure to bring your puppy back into the sit. Once sitting, release the tension and praise, but don't give a treat. The reason for this is that some dogs will break the position on purpose, so they can get the reward when placed back into the stay position. Cheers!
I never had one of them stand things when trained my dog to sit and stay . But like if I get her to sit then stay if ppl come in she will move from her sit I will say no she will then go to her spot ie bed in living room sit and I say stay . Should I get a platform like this and go back to the start and do what u are doing. Thank you .
where did you get your training vest?
