Yes! I now start with the process calling it "Wait". That means the pup gets the treat. Once we switch to the pup not getting the treat and does get something else from the handler, it changes to "Leave it." So the dog never gets the thing you cued him to leave. It's a shaping process.
Thank yor for your videos Donna.From Spain, I want to ask yor for the subtitles of the videos because some times I can´t hear so well and I loose some information, I know is more dificult but I´ve seen it in other of your videos.Anyway I love all your videos and your patience for sharing with us.All dogs are grateful we learn a lot about them that you teach us.
The standard wisdom is to muffle the clicker in some way. I don't do that as I have found it doesn't work. I use distance and really yummy treats. Take the dog outdoors and have a friend move about 50 steps away. Have them click once while you feed a treat each time it clicks. Your friend takes one small step closer and clicks again. Continue until the dog looking forward to the clicker. If the dog shows fear at any distance, stop there and do several click and treat repetitions until the dog is no longer fearful. If this takes more than two sessions of 60 reps each, then abandon the clicker and have your dog's hearing checked as there may be a medical reason he is afraid of it. (highly sensitive hearing). Instead, use a mouth cluck or a unique sound such as "X" to mark the behaviors. If it works outside, you can progress inside and repeat from another room, watching for a reaction. I use a quieter clicker indoors such as the i-click available at www.clickertraining.com store. I wish I would have known this as my first dog was afraid of the clicker and he would have been awesome at clicker training. Good luck.
Donna Hill Hi, I was really interested in teaching this to my sdit but i was just curious. would i have to give a release cue because i don't want him eating things on the floor? or could i deposit it in a bowl or something? anything so i dont confuse him by giving him my other hand?
Brilliant video, with clients I possibly haven't spent long enough proofing each criteria. I tend to teach with the fingers down. How would you cope with a recall when using food initially to get the dog to come or would you not use food for that?
In a recall, the food appears after the marker is done. I use food later as a distraction just like the toys were used in the white dog's recall. I have a series of recall videos where I show how we build up distractions.
Donna Hill Yes, I have watched the way you do a check in etc and that is brilliant. A great deal of my clients are people who have never taught a recall and the pup just hung around until the confidence built and they had done all the usual wrong things. I have started teaching the check in method with all pups now but with older dogs and ones that just come back but have avoided being 'Grabbed' I use call the dog on a line held by me and enticing in with food to start. A gentle hand in harness then a click and treat.
Great video Donna, Thankyou. May I ask why you let the dog have that treat and not a different one, from the other hand, as this is building up to a leave command? When I teach this exercise, the dog never gets the treat in the hand as I have found it can make extending the exercise trickier. This is the exercise I use to begin gundogs in steadyness training. :)
Sarah Hanson I do as you do Sarah Hanson, low value one hand, on an open palm, close the hand as he nudges, etc.We always reward higher value.from the other hand or from a pouch or tub..We use it for poisons, maggoty birds , sheep poo etc, so vital. We then do a cage hand leave on chairs or coffee tables then the hardest, cage hand on the floor where they expect food to be.We add the cue Leave when the dog gets it.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. We have a dog his main problem is when he hears another dog (particularly one) but others, he sometimes he goes crazy with all out mean barking.We have to yell at him to "back off" to get him to stop but he listens.I don't like yelling at him We can not recreate this behavior to train it out of him.Any thoughts or can you make any type of video for this.
This is so amazing!! Where should I put this in my training routine? My puppy is 8 weeks old and I'm working on the eye contact, hand lead, and coming when called.
My advice to you is to focus on housetraining, bite inhibition and socialization to people of all ages, other dogs, places and objects. Once you get to 12 - 16 weeks, you cannot reopen the critical socialization period. This dog didn't get it and ended up in a shelter as he was aggressive to strangers! drsophiayin.com/images/uploads/ce/Socialization_Checklist.pdf Good luck!
So you are saying not to work on any clicker training till I get these things down? She already knows the hand touch and eye contact. I've been taking her almost everywhere i go, meeting new people and animals. She knows sit, lay down, and roll over. Are you recommending I don't work on clicker till she's 12-16 weeks? Could you recommend a good book to follow?
Amazing work ! We can clearly see the behaviours changing. How to start with closing hand if this is already a cue for the dog "touch" without having a extinction ?
Try holding it in another orientation like a fist held vertically. Dogs don't generalize well and this is one situation where it works for us. A hand turned another way means nothing to them until we teach it. LOL!
My dog is scared of the clicker, what do I do!? I've tried clicking and treating over and over and over again but he is still scared of it! He doesn't get that clicking means treats!
Great video ! I cannot stress how important and handy this skill is !
Fabulous video. Thank you!!
Will I teach this in the same way with a puppy?
Yes! I now start with the process calling it "Wait". That means the pup gets the treat. Once we switch to the pup not getting the treat and does get something else from the handler, it changes to "Leave it." So the dog never gets the thing you cued him to leave. It's a shaping process.

Great job on this video. I will be sharing it with my students too.
Wow, he learned quick!
Thank you! Can you sometime show how you would do the double hand method instead of dropping it on the ground, i.e. for a service or therapy dog?
An excellent vid Donna..
This is neat....think we are going to give it a try

I see English setter in Brody or some kind of Spaniel.
Very cute boy!!
What a beautiful dog Donna, is he all collie ?

Check out my "Look at That" video. Start at a distance where he can look at the other dogs and teach him that the other dogs mean look back at you.

How much Time Do i need to do this until he gets it or there is a time gap for training?
Nicely done! I had no sound with this. Did you work up to telling the dog "Leave it?"
Yes. At 6:00 after the closed fist, open hand and on the ground, the cue is added.
hi donna..I have a two month old beagle and am keen on teaching it 'leave it' ..do you think its too early to start teaching him commands?

this is amazing! just curious was the puppy adopted?
Yes! He had a number of fear issues they needed to deal with though.
As with all your videos, LOVE!
👏👍
What are you saying when you give the treat?
I want to ask you, with this skill, will the dog generalize to be calm in diferent situations?
What treats?
Dddfff
Thanks for your videos. I'm trying to break in a lovable, but unruly dog that my wife is threatening to take back to the SPCA.
