I got my Border Collie puppy 3 weeks ago. I did the touch practice everyday for the first week and then because he seemed ok with touch we have been working on other things. The last few days when we are outside and I reach for him, he takes a few steps away from me. I don't think it is because he doesn't want to be touched, I think he wants me to chase him which I know I shouldn't do. I have begun doing the touch training again using high value treats. He is 10 weeks old. Has anyone else experienced regression of a training that you thought you successfully accomplished?
This is one of the best training videos I have seen. No ads. Very detailed and offers troubleshooting. THANK YOU. Wish me and my new std poodle luck :)
Additionally, I find tips like "Only do a paw grab 1 in 10 times" extremely helpful! Thanks for making yet another awesome video. My dogs thank you too!
I sadly had to have my Max (Maxamillion) put down, he had Cushing's disease. He was a Multies x Schitzu (spelling ?). I now have little Henry, a Multies x Toy Poodle (spelling ?), Henry is such a boy. He is now 5 months old, so I am so glad to have found you and your much-needed videos. Thank you.
I just wish I found your videos before getting my puppy, or shortly after. You're the best trainer on RUclips hands down! My pup is now 16 weeks old and despite trying regularly (alas, not every day - so many things need to be done every day it's so hard to do them all) we've made very little progress with the dremel tool, and it's always a huge struggle to her paws wiped after a walk unless she stares at food in my hand (but we have to do that 10 or more times a day). She at least seems to enjoy brushing, though. We'll take a step back and try to take it slower and more regularly.
Well if it makes you feel better... Some dogs just have a tendency to be worried about their feet, so even if you worked on it at 8 weeks, the anxieties come back around 16 weeks anyway, and its like starting from scratch. You might notice they come back again around 6 months to a year, but when the dog if an adult, you wont see set backs as much. Just keep at it. Its a bummer. But every dog has their issues. I find with sensitivities like that making the nail trimming more frequent in smaller steps prevents the set backs
@@kikopup Thank you!! It's definitely a bummer but also makes me feel better. We were able to cut a couple nails over the past week - so there's progress!
Hi Emily, I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing work. Your integrity and ethics are beyond anything I have seen in other dog trainers. I found your channel a few weeks ago while reading a comment on the GSD forum - you have quite a few fans there. Anyway, I've noticed one of your comments about you sometimes struggling with the business end of things. Please let me know if there is a better way to support you instead of joining the youtube membership.
Thank you so much for another amazing fabulous tutorial benefiting dogs & owners worldwide. You really do make such a positive difference. Absolutely loving your channel & all what you do. Thanks so much, your the best.
you’re awesome! i really love your videos, your voice is so calm that makes me feel more confident about my puppy that’s coming in september. he’s a border collie and i’m really worried about his training, but i’m keeping up with your videos!!! love from brazil!
Very informative on the steps to take for having a dog that cooperates and isn't scared of grooming! Definitely something to work on as soon as possible! I will watch again and take notes! Thank you!!
This is great. We are doing tiny increments and building on what he can do. Asking for other behaviors he knows is a brilliant plan alone with the chew toy for duration…This information makes me feel like we are making progress. He’s calm sometimes but gets overly excited in a happy way easily. I do just a couple nails and brush a little. He’s still a such a baby. I tried playing with him with the grooming tools but he got over excited by them during play:) So now I wait til he’s sleeping or a flop tired. Going to focus on this whole video today step by step along with leave it as he’s started mugging a bit doing the chain when he mugs backs off and waits for a treat. So have to see when exactly to do each step again…I think because he suddenly got so many big teeth they seemed to all come in in a few days and grew nearly his whole height in no time he can’t figure out what to do with himself:). He’s a sweetheart nut silly boy and loves everyone. Thanks again for such valuable information!
I know its the same principle but it would be wonderful to see training instructions for grooming intensive breeds such as poodles. Where there are additional challenges such as shaving the face, sanitary and inbetween the toes and the dog has to learn to tolerate and be still.
Thats a great idea, actually the two dogs I showed - Wish and Lucy the golden poodle mix were difficult dogs. The advice at the end of the video is what is most important. For a sensitive dog, treat the dog as if you are doing something painful, repeating it over and over for a treat will not make the dog better, so varying the training, keeping sessions short and mixing in behaviors the dog likes will greatly improve the training. I also have a link to 5 grooming tips that can help for adult dogs in the description. This training is not easy for some dogs. The difference between Wish my one border collie and Halo the other is that Halo probably needed only a few lessons just to get the concept of grooming not being something bad, but Wish was so sensitive and scared to be touched especially on her feet that the steps had to be broken up so small. The key is also really conditioning the tools to be fun outside of grooming. Like dogs who bark at knocking when a visitor comes, they get sensitized to the knocking and will have a reaction to it even when no one is there, that is what happens to the sight and sound of the tools. So a big focus for sensitive dogs is simply working on the site and sound. This will also greatly improve training.
@@kikopup thank you 😊 but there is one issue that I have encountered with a yorkie in my family and that I am concerned might happen with my future poodle pup (expected in 2021). If the dog is nervous and sensitive and is taking a very long time to adjust to the process. The need to be groomed still doesnt go away. They still have to be trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. Not just for appearance but for their health and wellbeing. Matting is painful and dangerous. With the yorkie (lives and belongs to my mother, not me). Its become a vicious cycle. He hates getting brushed and groomed, but then he gets tangles, they hurt to brush and as my mother tries to desensitise him to brushing by taking things slow they become matts. Then it cant wait anymore, he has to be shaved down. I dont even want to know how he behaves at the groomer. He must be an absolute monster and then gets re-traumatised all over again by being taken over the threshhold and the cycle begins all over again.
Just took home my rescue yesterday! I've been using your CONNECTED course and relationship VOD to prepare! Thank you so much!! Have you thought about doing a Masterclass series? I think you'd be amazing!!
Just found this video and my young man is 4 months old. o_o I've been watching a lot of Zac George, but let's hope this helps. He's VERY opinionated about his nails and his mouth. We've been working on it for about three weeks, but this is helpful! :D
First of all: thank you for uploading so many videos, yours have been the most useful for giving me an idea how to handle my new dog. Secondly: is there any reason we shouldn't do this with adult adopted dogs, other than the fact that we need to take our time in case they're still too nervous to accept touching?
Hi, as a professional dog groomer I really enjoyed this video. I was wondering at the start of the video you said that you'd ask for the dogs attention and if the normal cue didn't work you make a blowing noise. Is this acting as something novel that will get the puppies attention or is it intended as something unpleasant that the puppy will associate with punishment?
I subbed to your channel years ago to prepare for the puppy I was dreaming of once getting. Now I’m adopting an older dog instead, a rescue that’s estimated to be around 4 years old. Do you think most of your puppy videos will still be relevant to me in training an adult street dog that’s never lived with humans?
The reason I say the video is just for puppies is because some adult dogs bite without warning when you go to touch their feet. Now this is not the case with all adult dogs and adolescents but I dont want to set someone up to fail. I am going to finish making the adult dog version that is public but its going to be different than this one. If you'd like email me at dogmanticsstore@gmail.com and I can share a handling video with you from my reactivity video on demand.
@@kikopup I have a 8 month old Rat Terrier Chihuahua mix. I've had a lot of trouble trying to cut his nails. He was shaking and eventually growled at me so I backed off and just did 1-2 nails a day. I am going to start with this video and the Handling Shyness. Is the adult version public? Thank you
How do you fit all of this training into your life? I mean, if you ignore training client's dogs, how much time do you spend in training SESSIONS for improving day to day dog behavior? (not passive ... marking calmness random moments and not tricks) And how often do you repeat sessions? every day? every couple hours?
I dont have a public video on that, but basically you teach "back up" then back up on a platform, then you start to click just the one foot lifting up, and you can then name it. Call my dog back feet "hind leg" and "other one" lol.
Hi Emily! How to get my 5 month old to let me groom her? She has long hair and won’t let me brush her, but she lets me touch and rub her ears, back belly, paws etc. I’ve tried treats but she realizes that’s a ruse and so backs away.
Is it too late to start this in month two with my pup? She doesn't like being pet or cuddles very much and I've always thought it was because she was too hot.
"...what other people might do to your puppy before you can tell them that's not how to pet a puppy." UGH, wish I'd seen this sooner! So many people think that flailing at my pup is acceptable and then are somehow surprised when he gets excited and starts "shouting" at them. The guy who fixed our fence did exactly that the other day, showed up on the front door step and flapped and grabbed wildly at my pup, getting him really stirred up and barking, then said, "Oh, he's barking! I guess he doesn't like my high-vis jacket." Uh, no mate. Gwion has seen and met as many people wearing high-vis jackets as I could reasonably manage, he'd seen a couple of guys in high-vis the day before and barely given them a glance. What he didn't like was your behaviour. *facepalm* In other news, I can see I've got a bit of a long road ahead if I want to get Gwion to be chill about having his nails done, we're ok at the "treats for feets" level but he isn't at all cool with clippers near his nails. Unfortunately I don't have much competent assistance available and he's a short-legged breed (Cardigan corgi) so limb manipulation has to be a bit.... considered. I had to press the issue somewhat because his front claws were getting far too long (so much for the vet assistant telling me they'd wear down once he started walking on pavements - NOPE!). I have a grooming dremel ordered and we'll go back to step one. At least some exciting new treats came in the post today.
Im kind of out of the loop of the newer books. The one I really found helpful when I was beginning my career was Pat Miller's book www.amazon.com/Positive-Perspectives-Love-Your-Train/dp/1929242158 That was 16 years ago....
My dogs 2 and absolutely hates his nails being cut. He used to not care, but i took him to petsmart and the groomer dremeled too short, cut his quick, and his paw and leg. 😔 Now I've been battling trying to get his nails done.
Haha... I didn't think about that- I just didnt want a big block of text as I usually do. I was rolling my eyes however that the only stock images were of white men.
How to train this without food involved? My dog is force feed due to illness :( I'd probably need to increase his toy motivation, so I can use tug as reward
yes toys or if he loves going out the door or into the car, you can do a nail before going in. I actually did that with my two younger collies along with this.
yes but with rules for safety. Kiko my 5 pound 16 year old deaf and partially blind dog I have sit in a pen or on a mat if the dogs are in a large area playing so she doesnt get hurt by a dog running by and potentially knocking into her, but then when they have played and are laying then I let Kiko move around.
Who else got a dog recently and is happy this video is made!
Congrats on your new family member!
Omg me too!! I just got mine yesterday !!

Great video!
The part about "What to do when you need to groom your puppy before the training is complete." is very helpful too!
Additionally, I find tips like "Only do a paw grab 1 in 10 times" extremely helpful! Thanks for making yet another awesome video. My dogs thank you too!
@@TeaWreckzzz Yes. I still play these games with my Terrier who is doing the demo because he has arthritis in his feet and sensitive feet.
