Why Some Dogs Just Don't Get It #63

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2021
- The inspiration for this episode comes from a walk with my dogs. My puppy, This!, was on leash, and my adult dogs were milling about freely. All of a sudden, a large bunny crossed our path 5 meters ahead. My adult dogs did not really notice the rabbit as it was the equivalent of white noise for them. For my puppy, it was a LOUD noise, a siren, she for sure noticed! Is it that my puppy just does not get my training, or is it that she has just started her education?
In the episode you'll hear:
• My checklist of 5 items to include in your training to ensure your dog gets it.
• The layers of learning that I put into my dog training and for my students.
• What our layers of learning are from Kindergarten through to University and beyond.
• Why our dogs need a structured educational program.
• The reason we don’t control our dog but look at the environment.
• What I do instead of saying “Leave It!” to my dogs.
• All the things that I teach my dogs to help dim the loud noises like bunnies or cats.
• Why to progress your dog’s decision making, so decisions become bigger and better.
• What I do that is different to old-school dog training programs.
• The importance of congruency and consistency.
• Reasons why some dogs just don’t get it, including fear and a dog’s purpose.
• How structured building blocks create transformation and confidence.
• Why we want an engaged, safe environment that encourages learning.
• About balancing success with challenges and the relationship with dopamine.
• Why rehearsals of success lead to successful performances.

Thank you, Susan. I want you to know how much these podcasts help me. Even though we are going through all the Recallers games and watching as many of your other videos as possible, I still get reminded of little bits of information every time I watch one of your podcasts. I can watch a video five times and every single time pick up a new tidbit or reminder. They are very helpful and I appreciate all the work and effort that goes into producing one of these. Thanks again!
I get frustrated when my puppy does something she actually knows I don't want her to do. It really does seem like she is blowing me off. But thanks to my 2 years in recallers I know she is not stupid, she is actually showing me how brilliant she really is! She is testing the boundaries of what she is taught, she’s using her outside the box thinking to realize there are ways to get around things even if I attempted to manage the environment and built lots of value for what I want. And the beauty of your methods, Susan is that we can transfer the value of anything our dogs find reinforcing into us and the work we need them to do!
Love this and especially number 5 of balance of success and challenge, and the difference between shaping and luring. Using the example of the use of a GPS verse being given instructions is brilliant.
This. Is. Perfect. 💜
Those layers are proving paramount in teaching my pup.
I had to dial back some of her activities since her eye surgery and before that, she was developing an awesome recall w/distraction. Today, she was more interested in her cat friend and watching a few ducks outside her fence make a bunch of noise, than she was coming when called
which tells me I've slacked somewhere in developing "my" worth. But, thanks to you and your online classes I know I can get it right again. 👍
Thank you for making hstd and recallers easy and fun!
Yep Susan......We started out with all you have offered and explained in this podcast about 4 years ago and we can not be happier. WE RECOMMEND ALL OF IT!!!!.I am so glad I took the decision to start us out this way. THANKS AGAIN.
Lol! I love the bunny example. We had two experiences this week that threw my dog off. First a large rabbit came toward her instead of running away. To the point where I was getting concerned about the rabbit's intentions. Then this morning it was a possum in a quite surprising place, skirting around us but with no fear. My dog stopped politely and stared like "What kind of critter are you?"
Loved the podcast. Points 1, 2 and 5 checked off. Recallers, H360, Agility Nation, HSTD and Wag Nation. Point 3. Making a training plan so we progress in our layers and games and get out of the rut I’ve been in. Point 4. I have ditched a training club that was toxic to our training. Back on the right track now 😊❤️
This makes so much sense to me, I'm working with my pup that was returned to the breeder. And I'm the second owner, I'm having to go back to basics with some training. And other bits she is excellent at. Now to re draw the training schedule
Good for you, properly training this pup. I wouldnt be too concerned about being the second owner. It just means someone wasnt as ready to handle a dog as they thought they were. Puppies are cuteness overload, but they are a LOT of work.
I’m loving this. Can’t get enough. Thank you
Love the video!
My pup doesn't really like to walk , or go outside, esp in the rain or snow .
I'm trying to accomplish getting her to look forward to walking and/or just teaching her to poop right on the porch cuz it beats on the puppy pads or my rug. Any resources on stuff like this?!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I came late to owning dogs, we adopted two 5 month old sisters in November 2019, it's been a very steep learning curve. Your podcasts and videos have given me a greater understanding of my dogs. Thankyou
Love your podcasts and learn something new with each one. Unrelated question - when you released your puppy from crate near end of podcast did you say “free”? In an earlier podcast you had said you changed from “free” (sounds like three) to the word “break”. I am just wondering if you have a different release word for the crate vs other behaviors or agility . . . I have “free” but going to change it. Just wondering if there might a reason to use 2 release words. One for ok you can leave your hot spot if you want and another release word for truly wanting your dog to release.
We all know Susan is doing the heart symbol and saying bye thanks to Swagger 😁😊
Awesome! It’s another great video Susan. It is super helpful that you keep them short, to the point and interesting. I , like so many others, look forward to your podcasts or TH-cam videos. Keep them coming. I did Recallers yrs back, and do Home school the dog. Love the learning lab, and the tricks etc. So much to learn and so much to share. I pass on your name and channel to every pup person I know and meet . Thanks again.
Excellent as always and totally agree. Sometimes we humans jump ahead to fast . Example when first got Gemma she would try escaping our fenced back yard so went back to basics in Recallers and boom no more escaping. So I know if do and show the right way they will get it. I also believe all animals can excell if you just give them a chance and trying to show my hubby this for he isn't convinced with Gemma but I am. ❤❤❤❤❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I just subscribed after watching 5 games for puppies. I love how passionate you are with teaching. I understand the levels you are talking about, but what i don't understand is how not to use the: uh-uh and leave-it -these are the words taught at the training classes (petsmarts etc). you can't always cover the item (as you previously mentioned) for example. I am planning on adopting a sighthound (Whippet) and I don't know that a bunny would cross it's path without chasing and as i am typing this you mentioned the Saluki!! LOL I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you so much for a great video
Hi Katerina, thank you so much for subscribing! Susan has a video explaining the "leave it" alternative. Here's where you can watch - th-cam.com/video/GGJkfrMje2k/w-d-xo.html
@@DogsThat I will check it out!
Just love your Podcasts!
Hey Susan . . . so where to start? There are so many resources mentioned and so many lower building blocks that need to be in place before other great training tips are tried . . . It’s super exciting, but overwhelming. Where do I begin? Where’s step one for puppies?
(this has got to be the 20th video I’ve binged since discovering you a couple days ago) but so much of it is dependent on foundational skills having already been built.
Hi SynergyPhoenix, we have a great set of playlists available here on our channel. Including our puppy training playlist which is a great place to start! th-cam.com/play/PLphRRSxcMHy2SggplHx3uEWAjXOL9hI21.html
@@DogsThat - Thanks!
I've always hated it when people say "my dog's not too bright" ( or used even worse terms). Any dog can "get it" if you follow a steady progression and these 5 tips. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Lol. Some dogs do pick up quicker than others. I found a couple dogs in my neighborhood that fit the dim category, but they were surprisingly easy to get good behavior from. Not bright, but willing to please. My super intelligent dog was much harder to get focused and provide enough stimulation to keep her interested. Just keep following the steps....if you have a smart dog, try to keep up. Phew!
You are fabulous! But how can I check out Episode 56 when your episodes are not numbered?😢
Hi @terryheasley7027 thank you for your great note! Here's the video for you - th-cam.com/video/J_k3kCcauO0/w-d-xo.html
Our podcast playlist might help as they are sorted with newest first, and where possible, we put the episode number after the title, so a search of our channel for something like 56 should return a specific video. Plus we list all relevent associated epiosdes in the video description which is another way to find videos. Here's the podcast playlist - th-cam.com/play/PLphRRSxcMHy3_6INY488CcjoWaMVgmRJC.html
I found this podcast very depressing, not because it’s bad advice, quite the contrary, but because I’m one of those people you mention that finds it hard to progress the layers from what happens at home to what happens in the big wide world. That rabbit would have been game on and had I been attached to the end of the lead I would have gone splat. The trouble is I actually enjoy watching my dog run free, frolic and get the exercise she needs. Her recall is not perfect but she follows and checks in on our near daily bush hikes, which vary fro 3 km (ultra short) to 15 km the dog doing 3x my distance. She totally ignores livestock and we rarely see another person let alone a dog. IYC with food is fine if I’m around, but if I leave the house, no food inadvertently left out will be there when I return. I have not found a way to transition from primary to secondary school! Yes we are Recallers H360, AN but have found a mental block on my part.
Great podcast! I always learn something new. I took my dog out of her dog class because the trainer didn’t know how to work with my aggressive reactive dog. She would just box us in a corner instead of giving me tips to improve her actions. I would love a podcast to help me work with my dog to not be so reactive when she is scared. Thank you!!
Looking for the link to “its Yer Choice”?
Hi Cindy, here's the link for you:
recallers.com/iycsummit-join/
Hi Susan ! I called a educator for my five months old Husky and she said I will never be able to recall my dog because she's à Husky. Will you recallers programm help us, despite of the breed ?
Thank you for all your videos. Thanks to you, I love to train my dog !
Hi Laurence, we have Husky's in our programs who are thriving and who have great recalls. Here are two stories where you can meet fantastic Husky people like yourself who train with us.

I’m just not quite getting how you go from things like IYC or waiting at the door where if dog makes the right choice they get the thing (cookie or to go out) and the things where the choice is ignore the thing you want (bunny) but the reward is not the thing they want. It’s preventing sheep chasing im interested in - there is a video on you tube that says you can not train a dog not to chase sheep using only rewards and shows a leg of lamb being thrown to distract the dog but it doesn’t work. I see Thats kindergarten to uni but if chasing is number one reward won’t a bunny or a sheep always be more fun than a human?
Andrea, have you learned IYC from Susan's summit? The kindergarten layers recallers.com/iycsummit-join/ and the 4 part series may help with the adding the layers of distractions. The summit will give some insight into the layers, this blog will share more about Susan's thoughts on the 3 D's of Distance, Distraction and Duration. susangarrettdogagility.com/2020/08/duration-distance-distraction/ A few resources for you. Lynda (TeamSusan)
@@DogsThat yes of course - I’m in recallers - I just feel I’m missing a bit of the jigsaw. I will keep looking for an answer to my question .Thanks anyway.
So what your asking is how to go from the dog leaving a treat alone to leaving the sheep alone. Yes you are correct chasing will trump food if it's your dogs all time favorite thing. So you might want to incorporate appropriate chase, like a flirt pole for example. Situations where waiting to be released leads to getting to chase. Then you would focus that chase drive on that thing and thus you would have a permissable chase solution. Over time and practice the dog would increase in impulse control and wait to be released to chase vs just running off. Border collies for example are driven to herd but they will sit till released before begining. They love herding above all else but the only way they get to herd is through permission. Only way your dog gets to chase is through permission. Look at the podcasts for building value, also there is one on permission.
