You’ve hit the nail right on the head! I have a very excitable and focused GSD of about 18 months. He’s an entire male. His recall is acceptable until a distraction is there. Mainly but not always, another dog. I’ve been trying to make myself more interesting than the other dog without success. I am experienced with GSDs and have kept and trained them myself for more than forty years. This is the first time I have failed to get a perfect recall in all circumstances. HELP!! Lol.
Awesome videos. Have looked at heaps of dog training videos and definitely prefer you technique to all the others I’ve seen. If I could offer a suggestion OR request it would be to see more of people you actually demonstrating your techniques with the dogs. i.e. explain the technique then actually demonstrate it with an animal. Seeing thing done the correct way by a professional trainer has FAR more impact than merely hearing it in a video.
So, I have recall perfected for low distracted areas. Now, when the puppy is off leash in a high distracted area and is totally having fun, how do I get the puppy back to me?
Thank you for this! How would one train dog for obedience, however? Our 8 month old cross collie is just hyper excited around dogs and in the park there are always other dogs, not something one can avoid every day :)
Thank you for all the tips. If i may ask you. I ve got a female rottie, 5 years old, which is very obedient in everything, except when she is off leash and there are cats around. Unfortunately it was taught when it was younger to chase them and play. Is there any way i could fix it at this age?? (I wasnt the owner, got her from my brother at the age of 4, but she knows i am the leader and obeys.
So until the dog can be trusted no offlead time as effectively the dog can do whatever she wants! We have to be able to control every choice the dog makes and reward the good when we can! It’s all about creating habits! Long line or flexi lead for at least the next 6 months!
My dog got attacked really bad when he was a pup and ever since he runs off and chases dogs to fight he just won't listen to me and I can't catch him because he's a whippet/staffy
I was wondering the same thing. And you can't be bribing them every time. How do you gain ongoing obedience without getting an overweight dog through all the food and treats ?
These are great tips and I agree with them. However, I have trained police K9’s and we use food reward for a lot of the training. He is the thing good works until you start taking the food out of the equation. Even if you slowly take the food out most dogs will disobey. These is why I’m firm on light compulsion work with a prong collar or a choker. Compulsion work builds a solid obedience dog. However, compulsion work has to be done correctly or you will shut a dog down.
So many variables buddy! I also train security dogs as my actual job job. Dogs certainly do need to understand that some things are not optional but I personally do this with always switching between rewarding and enforcing, when I am enforcing something I am using patience, repetition and the right energy. I always try to teach the dog how to make the right choice.. if the compulsion is too hard for the dog it can be dangerous. It’s better if the dog is making the right choice not to avoid pain but because it’s just the better option.. not explaining myself great here. This is a 1 hour long conversation + with a beer 😂
He didn’t explain what to do when your dog is excited and doesn’t want to listen. He just says don’t pull your dog away from things he’s excited about.
Haha grass is a pain in the ass! 😅 way too distracting! The reason is because the amount of information your pup can collect from the scents on the grass is insanely overwhelming! We need to condition the pup to keep his head up off the floor!
@@TheCanineCoachDogTraining Thanks for replying! My puppy is less than 5 month, so sometimes I just let him sniff, and I think that the way he explores the world. Is that correct?
Definitely Correct so well done! Puppies have to use their noses and explore.. what I would say is add a command to it so the pup knows when he can/can’t do it! Does that make sense?
Am I thinking right? I can release my dog to sniff and check things out but when I’m training or asking him to walk I’ll keep his focus on me. If he goes to sniff then I’d use tension to get focus back? Or voice? Thanks!!!
You are advocating using what i call the Ping Pong game, that is getting the dog to run between two people. What I do is actually don't give the dog a break, as soon as one person has given him the reward, the other person calls. I find the faster you do it, the better it is for the dog and more exciting. In tonight's class I am going to be teaching the recall!!! Good advice about not trying to challenge the dog for a recall when something interesting is happening. However, I tell my students that if the dog comes near them while off leash of it's own volition, to reward the dog and send them away. Likewise call them, reward and send them away to "go play". The problem most people have is they only call their dog at the park when they are going to put the leash on! The dog learns that fun stops if they come back when asked. Surprising how may dog owners don't really catch on to that and have an "aha" moment when we point it out :-)
Ah nice! Love all of that. Slightly different methods but similar as well! I like the telling the dog to go play! I personally encourage a little less play and try to encourage calm meetings this way over time the dog is less challenged by the environment and this naturally helps the recall as it holds its value. I really appreciate your comment. I believe there are lots of ways to teach the same thing and the one thing I hate in dog training is ego! So keep up the good work!!! 😍
Can you do a video on how to properly train your 8 weeks old puppy to kennel potty train? I don't want him to be locked up all day.. I have been doing 30 to 40 minutes play time and then 40 minutes kennel time. I have been using meal times for training. But I feel bad he is in his kennel so long. Please help! I live in an apartment 3 floors up
Great video! I really need to practice with my pup without distractions. I'm always trying to call her to me when she's barking in the backyard and she doesn't want to come:)
Thnk u for training ME to properly train my new puppy! In ONE WEEK she knows her name, VERY attentive and knows recal!! I am SOOOOO grateful for your videos!!
Our dog (18 months) isn't terrible at recally, but she can disappear from view, e.g. into woods, and then take too long (5-10 mins) to come back. She's always returned (so far!) but I'd like it a little quicker. Do you still reward this "bad" behaviour?
To be honest with you the dustbin can be tricky.. the reason is because it’s self rewarding! Meaning your dog can choose to do it and he will be rewarding himself with out you! The best way to deal with this is to restrict the dogs access to the dustbin! So either shutting the door or buying a stairgate could definitely help you!!!
This may have already been answered but what treats do you recommend for a Goldador pup names Rosa. She’s learning quick thanks to your videos but I feel the treats I’m using are to hard, and distract from learning. Plus I don’t want to be feeding her unhealthy treats Thanks
Hi love your videos I’m getting a lab puppy in the summer and I’m doing my research could you do a video on crate training a puppy and what to teach them at 8-12weeks old thank you
hey Faye! thank you so much for this comment! of course! a crate training video is actually on my list to do so it will be coming very very soon! i actually have a video specifically on puppies between 8-12 weeks so you should definitely go ahead and watch that video!!
Good evening, there are three canine channels I really like, and you are one of them. The two others are PepsandScot, in Belgium, and the McCann in Ontario.
Great videos! Just stumbled upon them and really like them so far! Curious at what age you would start to recall? Is there too young of an age to start working with a pup? Just got an 8 week golden retriever and want to try your methods out. Thank you!

I am loving your videos. A trainer with his head screwed on. Sensible advice that's actually helpful and doesn't ruin the relationship with your dog.
Just got a puppy and your videos are really helping, easily the best I can find on RUclips. No bull**** just clear instructions.
Clear and concise and straight to the point .Brilliant!!!

1:06 That's hillarious! Your dog has come!
🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
I'm a trainer and I'm Binge watching your videos!! Amazing stuff! You have a very fresh perspective on training and behaviour. Subscribed! 😊

I am right with you. I LOVE THIS GUY!
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain
Brilliant. You are GOOD!
Only good? 😔 hahaha only playing!! Again, thank you Tracy! These comment honestly drive me so so much to keep creating!!
Haha! Best intro ever! Subbed, second video I watched and very useful for helping me with my new puppy.
You have no idea how much I love this comment hahah that intro took ages to think of and I love it but no one ever mentions it 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣

My dog is not food or toy driven and he has no recall at all. Do you have any tips?
How to train them to be calm in those fun environment?
It would be useful to have a bit more focus and demonstration of the recall with distractions (but I need to go check out your other videos).
Of course!! I will work on making that for you!
Fenton!

Exactly that! Teach the pup away from distractions first! Really build that drive for the recall and then slowly introduce the distractions ☺️
Great video. Love the easy to follow tutorial. Will definitely be using this with my pup.
How cute! He came behind you 😍
🙈😍
Thnk u for training ME to properly train my new puppy! In ONE WEEK she knows her name, VERY attentive and knows recal!! I am SOOOOO grateful for your videos!!
How do I teach obedience but still make sure my puppy can play and have fun with other dogs? Is it an either or choice?
My collie is 100% obsessed with a ball. Should I use the ball as a reward for recall, or use food? Thanks
In the recall game, does the other person reward as well or is it only when you recall them to you?
Our dog (18 months) isn't terrible at recally, but she can disappear from view, e.g. into woods, and then take too long (5-10 mins) to come back. She's always returned (so far!) but I'd like it a little quicker. Do you still reward this "bad" behaviour?
Most definitely not! This is more complicated, if you need some help email me on thecaninecoachdogtraining@gmail.com and I’ll walk you through it.
My dog goes and starts sniffing into dustbin, how can I teach her some boundaries, I don't want to challenge my recall when this is happening.
To be honest with you the dustbin can be tricky.. the reason is because it’s self rewarding! Meaning your dog can choose to do it and he will be rewarding himself with out you!

Just cook chicken or pork if the environment is crazy difficult however try to teach your dog kibble is high high value
