this video is literally a dog petting tutorial and im here for it
When i was here your likes was at 123
Lol
I searched it so that I 'll be able to pet a street dog for the first time.
this guy paint a picture with his choice of words. he is helpful
Thank you! Glad to help!
I am a first time dog owner. I love watching your videos, they are easy and enjoyable to watch. Please keep on doing it for more great topics.
I will! Thank you!
It's really a good feeling to own a dog for the first. I can!♡
*Stay loving with your dog!* 😊
Excellent stuff! We KNOW that more parents should teach their children to STOP top of head petting. We often meet adults with kids who ask to pet our Goldens. When we agree with the statement, "Ok, sure but not on the head. Pet their sides instead." They question our reasons and disbelieve how head touching can be interpreted as an act of aggression to a dog. Especially from strangers. Thanks Ian.
My pleasure! I'm working on developing a Kids and Dogs workshop to address exactly these issues. Educating the masses is the only way we'll get through it, I think. ;)
Wondered why my dog was annoyed, thanks!
I always tell people my Rottie doesn’t like to be pet on her head…Now I at least know I was right! ❤️
it boggles my mind how they never listen & wonder why she *quickly* looks at their hand & since she’s over 100lbs can be kind of scary. .That’s not on me. I specifically told them before they came forward after they asked.🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@RottieMomCreations correct Sol. An approach to the head of any dog, regardless of breed, is an act of aggression. Better to stroke their chest than the head.
I've always found the base of the spine, directly above their tail to be a dog's sweet spot for scratching.
Yes! That's a great one. I've actually added that to some of my handouts since I made this video and I mentioned it in the Training Trifecta video recently. Good call!
oh yes... she sits right down when I do it, even in close to panic situations... 👍 and I massage he back very strongly... it's like valium... 😂😂
That's my go to for both dogs and cats.
It's like you get the ok for the rump scratch even if they have never met you!
My dog horse kicked me when I pet him there
My dog is the opposite. When you scratch near his tail, he freaks out and starts moving around and twisting in weird ways. We like to scratch the top of his head because he chills out when we do that.
As a trainer, I must say your videos are all very well done! 1. Concise 2. Educational 3. Attractive, eye-catching 4. Entertaining ; all requirements fulfilled to make a good video! Keep it up! If only more youtube videos are like yours!!!
Thank you!
I'm never going to make another training video again after seeing the production value of your videos. Please make more and more topics your vids are great!
Thank you, Yoshi!
Same 😂😂😂 this is amazing production! Putting me to shame 😆
My roommate and girlfriend both got puppys recently (Chocolate Lab and Newfy), and I am learning a crapload. You try to make them happy, they try to make you happy! Finding their favorite skritchy spots is fun!
Thanks for letting me SEE what to do! Just one try and my dog has changed so much. Thanks again.
Awesome! Good work!
Very helpful with my dog and you're practical, not cocky, which makes it much easier to watch your videos than some others. Thanks.
I love your philosophy. It makes sense! Humans value touch too.
OVER TREATS!
That's true!
This video should be shown in school so kids know not to go straight for the head. Some great tips, my spaniel is loving the ear join massage.
I'm a new dog trainer and I stumbled into your channel recently--- LOVE IT. :) Keep up the good work.
Hi Amy! Thanks! And welcome to the trainer world! Keep in touch!
Love this! My mom was a dog trainer and I'm still learning new techniques. You helped teach my 14 year old lab "down" in a way that was comfortable for him. Puppies are easier, older dogs have limitations like arthritis. I've been struggling with keeping my 14 year old dog calm when he's in public places like the vet or the pet store where there are other dogs. He wants to greet other dogs and will bark and whine. It's difficult to handle him because he's old and I don't want to hurt him by tugging his leash or nudging his body to distract. I also get the feeling he either has selective hearing or has a hard time hearing so yelling his name when he's barking over me doesn't help. I'll try scratching him in some of these places to try and distract him. But lately I've just been letting him bark and cry. Would love techniques to train him out of this and to stay calm and collected around other dogs. He just wants to meet everyone.
Very helpful video! I just got my own dog for the first time, a Yorkshire terrier. Your tips help us a lot when training, and made me view it a bit different that I did before. Especially when it comes to learning your dog that they get a better treat the louder you call, rather than getting banned and thinking that their in trouble when you call loudly.
I would love to see a video on klicker training 😊
Incredible videos! There are so many on RUclips, but yours are well produced and explained so simply. Thanks Ian
As always ... another informative useful video. My dog is so lucky to have me watch your videos.
You are lucky to have him not him😀
You should go over dogs that don't like to be touched! That would be a useful video. I love these videos.
We 6 weeks old Rottweiler. I'm almost trying watch each and every video to train kid well. Thank you so much Sir
This video was very helpful. My last dog was a lab shepherd mix and she loves being petted on the head and pretty much anywhere. My shepherd husky puppy now hates being touched on the head but will tolerate it now and then from her family only. Anyone else and she will let them know it by pulling away. A lot of people tend to do this and I am at fault too so this was very helpful. Going to work on petting her on her chest and sides from now on!! Thanks!!
You're welcome! Happy to help!
I just got a puppy and I turned to your channel and won't stop watching. THANK YOU!
I am using your videos in preparation in getting my dog soon. It has been 7 years since I had my last dog. She is a hound mix and her name is sunshine.
Sounds awesome! Congratulations on Sunshine. Let me know how it goes!
We started a new routine this week at home: Watch a simpawtico video before going for Titan's next walk. We always find something *mega* useful. Thank you so much.
Your videos are very informative and straightforward. I've watched almost everything you have put out preparing to get a rescue soon. I lost my previous dog months back and I said whenever it was time for another I would be an even better dog mom than ever. So I've been looking for all the tips I could find to make him or her super happy and super loved. Thanks for the info.
Your videos and the info attached are super useful. I've got a puppy through the summer holidays in Brazil, enrolled in your online training and now that he is a six month giant Akita Inu, we are surfing smoothly into a puppy class. Just won the challenge of the week (sit and wait while I open the door to go for a walk) breezly. Thanks to you, I have a super calm and aware big puppy, praised everywhere for his soft mouth, his docile manners and obedience. Kudos to you!
That's awesome to hear! Good ideas are nothing without execution, though, so most of that praise should go to YOU. Great job!
@@SimpawticoDogTraining Looking forward to an advanced online training when you launch one.
Very worthwhile. Thank you for these insightful tips. My dog will love you for it.
Thanks to your video, I am now teaching my deaf Dane to come calmly to my side when she's over excited at my arrival home. The signal is cupping my hand by my side, she puts her chin in my hand and gets a chin rub. When calm she gets a side rub. It's working, thank you.
That's a great strategy. Well done!
This video helped so much with my Scottie.
I’m one with my dog thanks to your videos
dude, you're awesome and actually make the vids entertaining and not a full commercial like some people ...
Thanks!
Inguinal area is also a trigger point fir tension similar to psoas area in humans. In fact most of these areas are key trigger points for tension. Temples and top of head are definitely calming along with ears and base of skull. Trigger release is berg calming.
Just loving your delivery. Very clear and engaging. Please can you show how to build up to dog greeting on lead on a walk. My 8 month old is strong and excitable. Also how to let them learn to play without jumping/lurching? Thanks
I did #3 and my dog who I’ve had for 7 years growled at me for the first time.
I find the base of the tail is the best.
Yeah that's always a good one!
i do have hands and i'm very grateful for them and i thank god...
I didnt use to give affection too much to my puppy cuz i heard somewhere that you shouldnt spoil them with it, but after i watched this video i started petting him more often as a reward and now almost every time we make eye contact he flops over for a belly rub lol
You are amazing,,, best ever videos for any dogs owner..... keep it up ✌🏼
Thank you so much!
2:04 is exactly like my GSD omg it startled me for a bit lol
I just got a bulldog puppy and your videos are helping so much! Thank you!
YAY BULLDOG! ❤
I’m watching these because I want to make sure I can be the best dog owner I can be. I hope she knows how much I love her
Your videos are always insightful and so very helpful. You ROCK !!!
Th-tha-thanks!
Wow all your advice is super! Thank you for sharing so many tips. They are all very helpful! It's people like you that make life much more funner.
Glad to help! 😉
Great video, so very helpful.
Amazing information, thanks so much!
Great tips. My dog will be so happy I watched this video.
Wow awesome advice I just got a boxer and she is getting all of the benefits of your videos thanks 🙏 so much for sharing all the best .
You're welcome! Congratulations on your boxer!
My dog absolutely loves me massaging/scratching on her back near her bottom. she falls into doggy heaven. She also loves the top of her back legs also. She enjoys her ears being rubbed/scratched and her belly. I find that other dogs love those areas too. I don't even realise I am doing it to other dogs until a friend mentioned it the other day and said she noticed how much the other dogs loved it. I have been doing it for so long and when you do things for so long and they enjoy it it becomes second nature Lol x
Also forgot to mention she also loves being rubbed under her chin and further down her neck to just under the front of her neck near her belly. Her face is a picture. It is lovely watching her (and other dogs) when you see them enjoying and loving being stroked and massaged. There is nothing better than seeing them love it and their faces so happy. It is almost like when we get a massage and we love it and are so relaxed our dogs are the same and then when they give us kisses for it and when we stop they lift their paw up and tap you to say 'Please continue, I want more' and so you do Lol. It is also funny and lovely when you get what I call their 'tickly spot' and their legs go bonkers. One of my friends dogs that I see most days her dog comes straight over to me and expects me to give her a rub and massage and if I don't do it or don't do it for long enough she barks at me as if to say 'Come on I want my rub' Dogs also know if a person is nice. They are a pretty good judge of character. Some that are nervous of people might take one or 2 times of seeing you before they start to trust you. I am normally quite lucky and even nervous dogs trust me from the off or the next time of seeing me . How people can hurt or abuse dogs I just can't comprehend and think those people should be treated how they have treated that dog and also spend time in jail and NEVER be allowed to ever have an animal ever again x
Thanks. I'll give these a try. I already knew about the ear thing and I stumbled upon the chest and chin thing. But the others are new to me. Again. Thanks.
You're welcome!
I love your videos :) my dog is 6 years old, he was my sister's dog, then she gave him to me, I've had him for less than a year now and your videos are definitely helping with some behavioral issues he has, as well as better loving techniques 😊 he's a lab and they tend to have a hot spot on their back right by the butt(as I'm sure you know) and man, when I get scratching there he goes nuts! 😂 It's the funniest thing I've ever seen. I give him oatmeal baths regularly so it's not dry like it used to be but he still loves it. Sometimes I can even get him to quiver his whole body at once 😂
HAHA yup! I've seen that many times! It's kind of awesome!
You should post your site, etc on facebook with various links for youtube!! It'll help you get more views
I am getting a Brittany soon and am loving your videos.
Omg, I just find out this channel and I'm lovin' it!!! Amazing dog content!
Excellent... thank you 😊 !
We used to have horses and used t touch. Now using it for my shy, cautious dog.
It's great stuff!
Hey Ian
Very much enjoying the videos as I work to help my English bully puppy grow up right. Several have been very useful. 👍
Awesome! Glad to help!
ty my dogs used to love me 5/10 now 10/10
You should check out Syn Alia Training System. Kacey Cover's conditioned relaxation is on a whole new level.
Thank you for the heads up. That does look great!
my 11 year old papillon just went deaf (about a week ago) and we need new ways to praise him, that is not food... hes fat enough, any good ways, we also want to keep his training up, hes doing basic stuff and playing dead, but now that he dont hear us, we have a problem with getting him to look at us... so any good helping things, or may you even make this a future video idea?
Help with a barking Yorkie, especially on walks
My Roxy Loved the Ear massage
I'm learning so much from these videos it's amazing! I was wondering if you would be able to put a link to your Voice is king video if you have one?
I think you might mean this one: ruclips.net/video/v1RyeMfS0Vo/видео.html
That Mickey ear spot!!
YUP! Dexter has a "hidden Mickey." ♥️
Chest can be calming as well
Very useful
Great video
Thanks your videos are really helpful! We have one very well behaved Cockapoo and one maniac lurcher .....hoping to take his behaviour using some of your techniques 😊
Sooo, basicly all those spots, they have trouble reaching on their own, right?
Ear stroking is my favorite, since I learned wolves tend to lick each others ears to clean them, especially when the hunters come back to the den.
very useful tips!
Nice
Thank you for this. My puppy yawns anxiously often when I pet her. Will try these techniques but would love to know what can be done to remedy a touch stress response
Probably good to slow things down and try to introduce touch more progressively. Likewise, pairing it with good associations can help, too. Take a look at Chirag Patel's "bucket game:" ruclips.net/video/6mgo8SlugGM/видео.html
Please help me! I adopted a 1 yr Chihuahua 2 weeks ago and she is so scary . Won’t go on walks,won’t eat treats out your hands, won’t play and won’t let you get close without running. Idk what to do
We just brought home a shelter dog a couple days ago. My girlfriend has a cat and the two of them went absolutely ape shit during the initial introduction. Was wondering if you could do (or already have) a video focusing on introducing a new dog to the family cat. Thanks!
Oh my gosh I've been doing the tillington touch for years. There's not a lot of information out there on it unless you go to one of the classes though. You really don't want to do it wrong but they do have some great pointers and do demonstrate some great ideas even in the few RUclips videos you can find. I've met up with people who have become trained practitioners and learned from them here and there as well as just from my own experience of handling animals! Too bad there aren't Chiropractic seminars that are readily available and free and legitimate I mean I go to the University's a lot and they often have all sorts of seminars for free the Chiropractic would be pretty interesting along with acupuncture but I can see their hesitancy to try to do a one-day seminar over something that they've been doing for years

Great channel, I love all your videos.
How do u train your dogs how to fetch?
Usually this is done by back-chaining it from Tug. Once we teach them to bring the tug back when we let them have it, it's super easy to shape that into a retrieve.
seen a few of ur vids good stuff just subscribed u guys should have ur own tv show id watch it :-)
Thanks, Angie! I wouldn't argue about having a TV show!
When I do 3 ..my dogs remains in same position for half hour ...no move.... She loves it so much😂😂😂
Ian! As always, killing it! Do you have a Patrion account?
We do! www.patreon.com/simpawtico
When I was a little kid watching cartoons, I thought the top of the head was the best place, but with my first dog we got a few months ago I learned that it wasn't until a few days till he trusted me 100%
Thanks for the great tips... i am very very scare of dog as in my child hood days i get chased by wild dog while going to school everyday walking miles.... but lately i wanted to be friendly to dogs but didn't know how as i am always worry tat dogs (even how small they are) may attack me.... i tried very hard to touch a dog (on their heads - like touch a child) and its just like they could read my mind of fear, they didn't seems to want to be touch by me .. and their movements really scares me off too ... your tips seems good and i will try those tips .....By the way, its my brother in law who recently has 3 new dogs - so i am trying learn to be friend with his dogs as they are barking at me always when i stay at his house. I am not really sure if they bark at me becos they like me or they wanna bite me ..but i did see their tails wiggles alot .. so ppl telling me, its becos they like me? .. i am very uneasy still ... Thank you !
In one of your videos I saw you with a black and tan hound. I have a little black and tan bloodhound and she is a handful. She is also very smart. She learns quick but getting her to come when called doesn't always happen. Also if she doesn't want to be leashed she will throw herself down and kick and mouth my hand an arms. If you have any videos to help with either of these things I would love it.
I used the True Touch glove and my hand to do these touches. They love it! My cocker spaniel Louie loves his butt rubbed. And inguinal area. The coonhound loves his chest and ears. Great video! Do you mind if I share it?
Of course not! Share away!
Your dog has the same name as me!
My gsd will take a chest neck and chin pet all day.
I'm just loving your videos Ian, thanks a Lot, I just bought a dog (Boston Terrier) although I don't have it at home yet because it has a month old born. I'm firstimer on having pets different from hamsters or fishes, LOL, Which of your videos would you recommend for a firstimer like me into sleeping and potty training (1&2)?.
Hahaha! This video made me laugh LOL numerous times... What a great video! Thank you
your first spot is mine too
I love this video! I have already been doing some of this, but have learned a couple new spots that I was completely unaware of! I was wondering if you have any training tips for an issue that we are having? I adopted an American Bull Dog. She has full blown panic attacks whenever anyone comes to the door. Kids and teens are fine, but adults are not! I've had a couple of people willing to play guinea pig and show some patience to make friends, but most of my family is afraid to come over now! Have you any ideas?
This is good advice for inside with my dog. But she hates to be touched at walks and outside in general. I of course can, but she just does not enjoy it at all.
Dogs like it when you scratch the back almost close to tell they will love you
At 1:15 the dog continues to like lips which i was under the impression it meant the dog was uncomfortable in the situation
Hi Jessica! Lip licking CAN be a sign of stress, but remember that no one single body characteristic accurately tells the whole story. You have to look at the whole body and the context of the situation. In this case, Bobo licks quickly when you get a spot he really likes. His body is wiggly, and he's leaning into it. If he were stiff and still, was crouching, and or avoiding eye contact, was leaning away, and the lip licking was slower and tentative, then those would be good indicators of stress. We see similar things with tail wags. Tails wags aren't always good. There are "bad" tail wags, but even then we have to look at the whole dog to get a more complete idea of what's going on. Sometimes those "bad" tail wags just mean they're unsure but willing to investigate, and sometimes they mean real trouble. For a great primer, I recommend the book "Calming Signals" by Turid Rugaas.
Simpawtico Dog Training
Thank you for the feedback and im glad i brought it up. Ive been reading up on dog body language because i live in a house with an unneutered amerbull/pit male whos thinks hes the alpha cause no one here has a clue anyway did one of these frozen non responsive stares at me and now im kinda trippen on him but if i educate myself on dogs perhaps i can avoid a mauling (hes a friendly dog) thanks again sorry for babbling
My puppy, Solar, isn't always a fan of touch. She's better thsn she used to be, but sometimes she shies away, and after a while she might start using her mouth to stop petting. Do you have any tips for this?
I adopt pomapoo. Her age is 1 month 1 week. When she playing, she cannot to be touch. She always find my hand when I touch her n try to bite with growling and then, when I pick her up. She growling more. Is it normal? How to make not doing that again?
0:02 whoa there buddy
haha my bulldog does the same. He accompanies me to every bathroom trip. I dont mind because he just lays there and sleeps 😊
LMAO same here.
Simpawtico Dog Training I would love to see some videos on how you care for your bully. You can never learn too much about them 😉
Haha true. That dog is the love of my life. 😍
Simpawtico Dog Training agreed! they make wonderful fur children. If you would like to take a look at mine his name is Carlo. He is on instagram @carlotheenglishbulldog and I have a couple of videos on my page
So you have a training video on how to stop 4 month old jumping on people when the come in the house or when I come home?
We don't have a video, but we have a free PDF on the website and we're developing an online workshop for it. You can get the PDF here: www.simpawtico-training.com/learning/downloadables/
Ian, I appreciate your videos so much id almost stroke you on your own inguinal areas. Kind regards
Thank you. That's a little weird, but thank you. 😂
My dog was sleeping very deeply when I was teaching
Dogs be like: I love you, walking crack cocaine.
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
The dog I grew up with loves head rubbing, mostly a "noogie" motion. He's a strange one.
Question: dogs don't like being touched on the top of their head. What about side of their head?
Generally this is better, especially from someone they know and trust. It's still weird from a stranger sometimes. But otherwise, YES, their "cheeks" and around their ears are for sure popular places for many dogs.
