This is a great reminder for me to slow down. I’m guilty of getting ahead of myself (and my dog) and jumping steps on the ladder. Back to the driveway it is!
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
I've gone down the RUclips dog training rabbit hole since I adopted my rescue dog in January. Miles, you are the best and I think I need to unsubscribe from the others. More content please.😁
@CasperPlays I've watched him, but he doesn't really teach the viewer. I feel like an observer, but not a student and I have obediece training experience, but not as much problem solving experience.
@@CasperPlays Beckman is arrogant and more intent on admonishing viewers for what they're doing wrong than telling them what they should be doing instead.
This is exactly what I needed for today’s training with my dog. Your videos are so thorough and I appreciate the fact that you upload this information for free on RUclips. So many of your videos have positively affected my training engagement with my dog and I can’t thank you enough for it!!! 🎉😊
Miles, I am so amazed at your organization and your care to give such wonderful help to dog owners. You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for slowing us down. If our dog can't learn because we can't break it down for them, we'll get nowhere. Patience is the key. Observing our dog more carefully too. Small steps =big rewards. THANK YOU MR. HAMILTON.
Thank you, amazing how he narrowed the word down to ladder which is a similar concept just not the 100% correct terminology because a ladder props you up fast whereas a scaffold can be used as a platform to keep building and reach newer heights. I'm using building and construction as an analogy here but I think you get the gist of what I am trying to say.
I feel like I should be paying you for such valuable lessons. I have so much more of a clear path for my dog after watching YOUR videos. No one is as clear and simple as you put it, you are the best!!
I have had my puppy for 3 mos.hes now 6 mos old so for the past 3 months I have been watching training videos on RUclips. Uh sooo many videos too many to count BUT yours is the first one that I completely understand. You are a very effective teacher. You explain the reasons so that I understand. I am now a subscriber and look forward to learning more so my pup becomes the great dog I know he can be. Thank you!!!!!
There’s nothing more annoying than when a trainer tries to teach you difficult training with a trained dog, nah we want to see the dog that’s untrained. Amazing work you’re doing here man.
Loved the last piece of advice regarding place and distractions, when you said “don’t release then allow him to go after the distraction because it might be a squirrel or a cat that’s distracting. When I was doing this in the past I would always release him to go towards what I was distracting him with. Great insight. And very helpful advice. ❤️😎🙏
As a dog trainer who is always looking at uppng her skills, I love listening to your explanations for training. It helps me to explain to clients. And I always learn something new. Keep them coming. All the way from Australia.
Understanding what a distraction is to a dog compared to an adult human is a big step. It is windy where I live but she knows trees and bushes move in the wind. She is a farm dog, a field is home but the road! My quiet domestic street has wheelie bins who's lids lift in the wind and smack down. It has banners hung from scaffolding which flap above and flags on Saints days! All very scary for my dog. Same street on a calmer day, just cars, people and dogs to worry about. Trying to find the half measures is my task. Thank you for the video.
No words to describe what are you doing for us, a lot of knowlodge for free, your channel will be big and you are one of the most dog trainer in youtube, thank you a hug from cape verd.
The ladder concept is helpful to plan out training steps. I also learned the concept of artificial distractions in this vid. He has this super anxious reaction to the car moving - I tried slowly desensitizing him to the car in general (mad pulling) using obedience and the 3 D's (also learned here) but he goes ape sh when it moves as well, (tricky environment). I don't know what I'm doing but moving the car, stopping, getting out, repeat is where we're at, fingers crossed and here's to figuring things out!
Best laid plans of mice and men. 😂😂😂 yes we ALL do it. Thank you for this VALUABLE reminder. We think our dogs are ready when they are not. This is such important information for us all to hear and use.
I so appreciate the detail that you provide when teaching. However, I'd appreciate seeing how you trained arrow at the very beginning of this exercise when he wasn't so compliant
You're a great teacher and I see your videos to remember and learn more conceps of training dog. I'm veteran of brazilian marines, k9. You really great in this job. Congrats!
Awesome video it’s making a lot of sense to me right now with my nine month old Aussie cross border collie she’s doing really well she’s got the basic stuff but yeah when we’re out and about it’s not a squirrel thing but it’s a dog across the street or it’s other people walking. She just wants to run up and see them for the most part in the house. The impulse control is good, but this was a very helpful video. Thank you so much.
THE BEST! I’ve been using your videos - esp with regard to prong and ecollars - and my 8 mos-old doodle is amazing. She can still fall prey to distractions - so this video is right on time!! Thank you, and please keep it up!
very useful video and makes a lot of sense. most videos recommend one step solutions like it is not a big deal, but building compliance is a stepwise manner is a key concept.
I never seen such a video like this before, thank you, I will implement this slowly, my dog goes crazy when he sees other dogs and hear the motor bike sound..
I would call the "ladder of complience" just habituation: "In learning and memory research, habituation or habituation refers to the decrease in willingness to react when a stimulus is repeatedly presented. The CNS classifies the repeated stimulus as unimportant and there is no reaction to the stimulus." The better the habituation is, the more the dogs can comply to commands. So in the process you're not working on the ability comply, I think you're more working on the dogs ability to fade out the stimuli of the environment... I think.
Another great video :) Thanks for that! much appreciate it. Here is a thing that I struggle to understand when it comes to desensitizing a 10 month old dog: 1. If my dog complies 100% arround my house and in my neighbourhood, but when I take him on a walk in our city center (new environment) he becomes excited and repeats the mistakes, should I stop the walk and go home? The same happens when we go on a hike. There are these situations where you need to take your dog with you, but can't be all perfect... especially if the dog is younger. Should I keep him at home? 2. If the dog gets excited and walks front of me during a structured walk, should I do U turns until he pays attention to me again? all the time? in all places? 3. Is a "reset" worth doing when the dog is excited? Like putting him in a down until he calms down, then continue walking.
I'm so grateful to people like you who share such amazing content. I'm struggling to make my dog listen to me because he gets distracted by everything, even mosquitos (no joke, he chases them).
Hi, Thank you for all your detailed explanation and vids I learn so much and the results are showing with my dog.. I wanted to make a video request from you if you may, My 3 year old Boxer is fearful to fireworks and thunderstorms; is there a way to fix it? how? I was wondering if you can make a video about it. thank you. ❤
Thank you so much for this video! After watching a few of your videos I realized my dog have very low impulse control and this video helps me know where to start because I was feeling pretty lost.
Thank you! Something I've always been wondering: What am I supposed to do on "normal" walks with high distraction when I can't train my dog in such an environment yet? Just let him pull? I mean I can't just skip the walks altogether, but I also don't want the dog to associate the leash with pulling...
I just came across your videos and wanted to say thank you for awesome videos with detailed instructions. Really appreciate it. Thank you and please continue to post more, they are super helpful.
This was so helpfull. Having just given a home to a shepherd who also has had no training, this has been a great reminder for me, not to move on too quick.
A lot of this made sense to me. I appreciate the video and taking the time to break it down. My girls are all pretty good on leashes, aside from the chi. But after watching this I think it could be better.
Feel free to respond to any of the comments requesting an answer. I'm concerned that signing up for your assistance that you are selling I would not have the feedback if required. Is that the case?
Question: after releasing Arrow, or after a situation where the dog is exercising impulse control, how do you let the dog release their built up frustration?
There is a difference between allowing them to make mistakes, and setting them up for failure. As you said it too, there is nothing wrong with them making mistakes and learn from them. But this does not mean that we set them up for failure. Setting them up for success and allowing to fail are not controversial statements.
I have been following a lot of dog trainers and you have to be the very best. Super easy to follow and makes so much sense. You have a wonderful teaching way about you and will go very far in your career. I’ve wasted a lot of money on trainers trying to get my GS to not kill my cats for the past 3 years. I am incorporating your training with leash pressure and going much slower with the 3 D’s and can see change already. Thank you
The explanation about the ladder of compliance was helpful. She’s good with commands inside. she’s reactive on the porch when dogs go by. So I’m using a runner on the porch to place her. She’s on a 4’ lease for pressure. I’m working on keeping her attention when dogs pass. Treats or yes or good girl. Sometimes are better than others. Lots of repetition
Question: what's your advice for scaling the dog's compliance when they need to get energy out by walking? I live in a neighborhood with sooooooo many distraction. If the house and backyard are my only options with low distractions, how do I exercise him?
iv been stuck in my driveway for a week now and my dog is not getting the exercise she needs ima end up going crazy i want her to not pull but everytime we leave the garden we get more out of control not pulling but more sit fails more riding the end of the leash i just want to get to the park and throw a toy on a long lead to make her tired so i can fucking walk
Would you do the same with a Papillion? Good with all commands, can't get him to fetch is this something that should not be done, more help help with small dogs 🙏. He has a problem with having his nails cut and going in the car he is so stressed out we have to take him with us we live in the desert ,we take him too play with a friend at the park no one is there we let them run and play. Help please Thank you
Another great video!!! Love seeing firsthand the things you are also learning from training a new dog. Its been soooo helpful. Can you make a vid about training 2 dogs at a time?
I love this! Love how you show/explain everything. It makes it so easy to follow. Learned a lot already and made quite some improvement with my fear reactive dog. Almost every walk is now reactive free. I'm curious: Would you by any chance make a video about window/doorbel reactivity? (stranger danger ;) )
Another video of yours that is SO HELPFUL. What I've learned from it, is to not use the toys for play after doing impulse control with my dog. I had no idea but the example with the squirrel makes so much sense. Thanks Miles, I am really learning a lot from you!
Thanks for this excellent video, prey drive is something I'm struggling with a bit and although we do a place command, sit stay etc. I haven't trained it like this! Thank you so much
The problem is my dog goes down by himself when another dog is approaching and than he jumps up to either fight or play. There is no way I can have him stand up beforehand.
This is a great reminder for me to slow down. I’m guilty of getting ahead of myself (and my dog) and jumping steps on the ladder. Back to the driveway it is!
Same!
Aww man if this isnt me. It really puts your patience to the test
I’m with you too, we got this though!!!
Me too 👍
Back down the ladder for me too 😂
A video on walking past other dogs would be great!
yes please!
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

#2 is called scaffolding”
Used in teaching skills and behaviors.
Excellent video! 👏🏾👏🏾Now let’s see if I can do it with my dog 😬
Thank you, amazing how he narrowed the word down to ladder which is a similar concept just not the 100% correct terminology because a ladder props you up fast whereas a scaffold can be used as a platform to keep building and reach newer heights. I'm using building and construction as an analogy here but I think you get the gist of what I am trying to say.
I feel like I should be paying you for such valuable lessons. I have so much more of a clear path for my dog after watching YOUR videos. No one is as clear and simple as you put it, you are the best!!
There is the Thanks button for that
I’m in Australia. My 10 month old dog doesn’t listen to me when on a quiet local street either. Now I know how to work on fixing it. Thank you.

Ladder if compliance would be Successive Approximation or
“SHAPING”
Your videos have helped me more than any others that I have seen...thank you!!
very useful video and makes a lot of sense. most videos recommend one step solutions like it is not a big deal, but building compliance is a stepwise manner is a key concept.
Very easy to understand and clear. Thanks for your videos,they’re so helpful. Too bad you’re not live in AZ
U ARE AMAZING. NOBODY EXPLAINS AS U DO. AND ALSO U GAVE US EXAMPLES . HANDS DOWN TO U
I never seen such a video like this before, thank you, I will implement this slowly, my dog goes crazy when he sees other dogs and hear the motor bike sound..
the first time I've come across your video - a great example to ignore distractions...
Thanks for this i can feel ur passion burning this knowledge in my brain

@@SofiaViviEnDo That's true, he is very good at explaining things. 🙂

Teaching the dog to comply to commands in different environments is Generalization
