Corrections are Not Commands - Understanding Dogs Through Proper Dog Training

- People often give their dog a command followed by a leash correction. In this video I discuss the problem with this and how to solve it. Gaining a positive relationship with your dog will go a long way in getting your dog to understand what you expect of him.
The end goal in dog training is to build a better relationship with your dog through your training.

Priceless, this two minutes and a few seconds are worth gold. I've done so many mistakes in dog training, i could cry, but that would be crying after spilled milk. Everything got better after i realized what you told us here...
Crikey she is so good after getting confused teaching us the incorrect techniques. Very patient and tolerant. I guess she knows she's your side-kick and has to show us how to do train properly. Not only that, but she's bilingual! :)
Thank you for your BS free dog training tips. I have a 4month old lab and we’ve only been following your tips for a week and it’s really improved our lives. I can walk her to and from school with my kids with little issue. I can recall her on the first command! Thank you again.
thanks for that!
"BS"?? Typo?
I love simple and direct videos like this. It worked! I adopted a 9 month old Border Collie mix just 9 days ago and the basic training is going well. Considering her previous owners lack of attention to her, I got her house trained in no time. She’s a very smart dog. I just saw your short video and followed the same concepts in house, off the leash, while I was doing some kitchen pickup. Positive reenforcement for rules I expected and negative correction followed by immediate approval of the corrected behavioral action. Then I moved to sitting on my single seat leather couch. She like to jump up on me and pressure for play even after a couple hours of attention when I get home. She usually rushes to jump on me with her toy at the wrong tomes. I followed your lesson and in just a few minutes she calmed down and got the point. Dogs are amazing. Funny thing is I’m a high school teacher and, after this, when I ponder on how I handle my more challenging students I can see how this works. It’s pretty much the same. LOL. I’m looking forward to more of these videos.
Thank you for this testimonial.
beautiful pooch beautiful training
Thank you for this video
My pleasure
Awesome tip! I'm new to your channel and i am enjoying the balance training you do. I would like to see a video on how to properly do a leash pop and how firm to give it .
Alan hernandez That depends on the dog. But if the collar is fit correctly with a lot of dogs the self correction of the collar will be enough. I use the theory of minimal force, if the dog whimpers it's too hard for most dogs. Whatever you need to redirect the dog and stop the behavior, again his will very widely.
I'm guilty here lol. Time to change
Me, too. I’d be like “Slow down” at the same time I give him a little tug. I knew it was stupid and what’s worse is that I needed this video to focus on changing my behavior. #itstheownersthatneedthemosttraining
Very true.. I must focus on that..
Thanks for bringing to ones attention
Perfect!
Good point.
Hi Robert, me again with the 5 month old Aussie pup.
Jake hasn't come to understand "off"
When he jumps up to check out dining room table, I give "off" command. This only happens when my wife is around.
He is quite happy not begging when we're alone,
Is this both a command and a correction ?
Side note. My wife and her family can suck the obedience right out of a dog. I can feel my frustration level rise when this happens.
Trying REALLY HARD not to allow this to happen. I can't change their attitude, I can change my reaction to it.
Poor dog.
is it ok to correct a dog for biting you during play if it isn't malicious?
a dog "trainer" aka a cesar milan wannabe has always trained his dogs incorrectly and you've made me realise what im doin wrong with my girl too. He always told me to pull back on the lead if my dog doesn't sit and that's where im going wrong. thankfully your videos are ace.
Ceasar makes a ton of money, but that doesn't mean he knows what he's doing. I think he probably means well but is causing as much harm as any good he is doing because of his inflated ego and his own lack of any professional training.
Hi, what type of jerkys do you recommend, do you mix cheese with jerky for other training types.
lamb jerky. I do mix treats!
Only 1 dislike I freaking love it their should be none but it's rare to see a video with 1 or 0 likes
Do you always mark a correction with 'No'? What are your thoughts on a conditioned punisher (ie: 'No') vs an unmarked correction after waiting a second or two for the dog to perform the command. I can see advantages to both systems. Good vids. Thanks.
I prefer to use NO as a "blocker" more than a marker. I feel that preventing the dog from further failure makes it easier for them to figure out the correct / desired behavior.
Thank you so much for this, I am guilty too. It won't happen again.
These videos are great, I thought of doing them myself. Would love to chat
Fwiw,
This video isn't loading and when it does its only like the first couple seconds
Not having an issue loading any other videos on my end, just this one. I tried others on your channel without issue so far.
Idk. Just thought you'd want to know
Edit: I figured out what the issue was (I think)
I have auto resolution settings on and it tried to load at 1080. When I selected 720p it immediately started loading.
Is it not supported at 1080?
Jepp, same here! Presse re-upload that video. 1000 Thanks!
When I tried to do the heel training with my dog I started to walk, and he walked beside me and as I turned and said heel he didn't turn with me so I popped the lead and he just stopped? He wouldn't walk any further? I released tension on the lead and then we were just staring at eachother? Am I supposed to pop multiple times if he doesn't go forward immediately? And how hard should I pop? He is only 7 months old, I feel like I'm not doing it hard enough to have any effect because it obviously isn't effecting him at all. I don't want to hurt him but it should warrent some sort of jolt right? He should sort of 'wakeup' and realise oh I he has pay attention to me? I've watched hundreds of different videos on this but it's so hard to do it in real life when you can't physically be shown what to do.m,or have someone to guide you.
my online training courses at robertcabral.com/training/yt are a good option.
If he's stopped then you just give big praise and keep going. Walk with confidence, always confidence, and if the dog is losing interest in you then switch directions quickly a few times, walk back and forth half a dozen times to show them that you're the boss and will decide when to switch directions. If he pulls ahead again, stop and do a quick pop (to the side), ensure she's paying attention to you again and then walk again. Repeat this a thousand times if you have to. Never allow tension. Make sure you're dropping treats liberally while they're doing what you want, too! That's huge because at least in early training they need to learn to keep paying attention to you and you being a source of regular high value treats is huge! If your dog is regularly "checking in" and looking up at you then THIS is like 90% of leash training imo (especially with smarter breeds who are more likely to be indifferent to you).
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 thank you so much! He tends to be extremely food motivated, being half lab and half Kelpie he is crazy for food so hopefully that works. He has started reacting quite badly to other dogs on walks, raising his hackles, lunging howling etc. I'm trying to work on it but I can tell it's extremely frustrating for him and I both not being able to communicate what we want of eachother easily. I'll keep trying though, thank you for your reply.
@@havyn.michelle9882 Hey, no problem, and of course patience is sooooooo key. Some dogs learn far slower than others, and indifferent dogs take a long time to start caring about you over everything else around it. The best advice I ever got was learning to keep your mood neutral/positive and *never* get frustrated or that immediately translates unto frustration with your dog. If she doesn't seem to be learning or becomes restless, STOP training and try again later. Don't push it!

The other dogs thing, yeah, our little Sophie is pretty random with dogs - some she'll freak out over, others she ignores. Desensitization is really important on this front, I think. Just being around as many different dogs as possible, even if from a distance, will slowly help. Don't let YOUR fear of how she reacts to dogs keep you from bringing your dog near other dogs! Not only will your fear get picked up on by your dog (CONFIDENCE!) but you're avoiding chances to desensitize simply because you're worried your dog might freak out. I hope that makes sense :) Anytime she comes close to a dog, but then you're able to take their attention away - treat and praise! Or if you pull your dog aside to hold her while another dog goes by, keep them calm with affection, then mega-treat if the dog goes by without any lunging or barking! If they bark and lunge, immediately turn and go the other way without treats and without even looking at them directly. Just go and they'll learn, "lunging and barking means I can't meet these dogs I really want to meet!"

Just rambling now, and I'm by no means an expert, but these things seem to help on my end, hopefully they will for you too! :) Happy dogging!
Dogs in the aversive training classes showed elevated stress behaviors such as yawning and lip licking and spent more time panting during the training session. Their saliva showed significantly increased levels of cortisol compared to when they were relaxing at home. The dogs trained using positive reinforcement methods had more normal levels of cortisol concentration and displayed fewer stress behaviors.
If you punish the dog via a physical correction and pair it with a command the dog will not perform the behavior as quickly and may even learn to turn off the pressure by shutting down which is called learned helplessness. I don't often disagree with this guy.
I NEVER punish a dog.. I consider "corrections" as a guide to desired behavior and "blocking" further negative behaviors. Helplessness is not always a bad thing... there are instances in which it can be beneficial for a dog.
you have to stop unwanted (possibly dangerous) behaviour
Hi I
Maya means illusion in some Indian languages Hindi etc. I wonder how you got that name?
I know. She came to me with the name.
Wow, we must be really abusive to horses...we whip them, we bridal them, and we blindfold them. Are they more resilient than dogs???🤔
sounds pretty abusive and largely unnecessary
@@DublinDapper exactly. I used to ride, I never needed to whip a horse, never.
Horses are so scared & gentle, why would you need to whip one? It's a friggin herbivore for chrissake.
@@shellyspinelli1287 I mean, horses are prey animals and spook at just about anything. They're 1200lbs+ animals, some horses generally have no manners or are aggressive with humans. Some need firm corrections, others don't, it's all about proper use of a whip.
Haha are people really that thick in the states :)
not just here. all over the world!

Corrections only belong in de training of obedience behaviour in de very last cycle of learning.
The use of corrections by balanced based trainers is, or should be less that 0,1%.
Only if a dog really knows the behaviour you are teaching very thoroughly a correction can be applied.
Only if a dog knows how to prevent getting a correction being given, a correcion can be applied.
-
Robert here is using the pulling on the leash as a fysical manipulation of the dog to achieve certain behaviour of the dog, and then he says it is a correction. And ofcourse this is plain wrong.
People who train dogs should know the difference between an aversive and a fysical manipulation of a dog.
Fysical manipulations are used to teach dogs behaviours. For example luring or spatial pressure are fysical manipulations of a dog.
-
Communication with the dog by means of the leash can only be done if the dogs are trained for this.
Otherwise, the leash is nothing else but a torture instrument.
-
Remember that the use of a "NO" marker can be regarded as a mild aversive and shouldnt be used in obedience training so much. Aversives should mainly be used if behaviour problems pop up. And even then sparsely.
-
Also Robert is using his foot to make the dog stand and says this is a negative. Well, I can imagine that being tapped on by Roberts foot might be negative, but it is still not an aversive. As he uses it here it is a simple manipulation of the dogs body with his foot.
-
So, Robert, as you might know I am also a balanced trainer, but with this film I don't agree entirely.

Can we see ur dog training videos??.
Are you a professional trainer yourself, or are you are just repeating some thing someone else said? Lets see your videos
Say what you want, but no one’s gonna take advice from someone who can’t even spell physical right.
