Why Your Dog Doesn't Respond to Your Commands.

  • Once we have our dog performing the action with our physical cue, it is then time to give the behavior a command. The command can be physical or verbal. In order for your dog to learn the command, you must say or perform the command and then show your dog the physical cue.

    First be warned: A common mistake that people make is when they decide to link the behavior to a command, they will deliver the command while they are giving the dog the physical cue. If you pair (overshadow) your physical cue with your command as stated earlier, the physical will override the command and become the only cue for the behavior.
    An example of this could be as simple as saying “Good boy” (or the marker that trainers would prefer, “yes”) simultaneously to feeding the dog the reward. By mixing these two actions together, the verbal marker will not have any relevance in the dog’s mind.
    If we want the dog to learn the command, then it is important to make sure that the command (verbal or physical) precedes the physical cue by a split second. It must be predictable to the dog. So, the process becomes: command, motivate, mark, and reward, in that order.
    • First say sit (command).
    • Then you lift your hand with the treat (motivate).
    • Once the dog's butt hits the ground, you either give the reward within the first second or you mark and then reward.
    • You will continue to use the physical cues until the dog beats you to it. Meaning, if you say sit and before you lift your hand-the dog is already sitting.
    This process is the same even if you want to teach a service dog to perform a specific command based on an involuntary human behavior conducted by the person with the disability. For example, you’re training a service dog to nudge his handler when his handler reaches high levels of stress, such as with a veteran suffering from PTSD. First you would need to figure out what the veteran’s involuntary behavior is. For this example, we will say that the veteran looks up and starts to breathe heavily. Once we know this, then that will become the command for the behavior. The next step would be to present a physical cue that can get the dog to nudge your leg (which will be transitioned to the veteran later), let’s say tapping your own leg works for this dog. Now the process would go as follows:
    • First look up and breathe heavily (the command).
    • Then you would tap on your leg to get the dog to nudge your leg (motivate).
    • Once the dog nudges you, you either give the reward within the first second or you mark and then reward.
    • You will continue to use the physical cues until the dog beats you to it. Meaning, you look up and breathe heavily and before you tap your leg-the dog is already nudging you.

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  3 года назад +1

      Lol! Thanks! The dogs make it look easy. :) Yes, I use the leash pressure if I need to reinforce a command. Dogs are creatures of habit. Once they are conditioned, they will almost always listen, but it can take a while for that to happen, so you have to be patient and always follow though with reinforcing any command you give your dogs.

    I know I do combine my physical and verbal often too, but I feel pressued by my puppy to go super fast x.x
    Maybe it's time to up her food a little too.

    Hello Nate, I just found your channel. Thanks for sharing your work. I have a unique issue I have yet to encounter in my years of having dogs. I just adopted a 5yro Australian Shepard. Not only does he not seem to respond to his name but he also does not seem to respond to words in general. He does seem to react to sounds however. I was trying to start with recall and he just ignores any word I say and keeps his nose on the ground. I use a whistle or a clicker and he will look. Same with sit. He knows the verbal, but if I say it, I get nothing. The vet checked his hearing and it is good. He can hear me taking the cover off his food from anywhere in the house. Just an odd one I guess. I have had several dogs over the years and all have been audibly and visually trained. I guess this guy is trying to teach me something new. Not sure if you have any thoughts, but if you have any or suggestions of where I could look I would appreciate it. I am going to continue to check out your video's they are great refreshers and easy to watch!

      Thanks, I would recommend filming yourself, so you can make sure you're not pairing the marker with the delivery of the reward. Regardless, after a few days of marker training, I would suggest moving on to step 2. Luring!

      If you want to maintain the quality of the raw while training, then I would suggest freeze-dried dog food. This is the brand that I like to use with Arih and Charlie, since I feed them raw as well. amzn.to/2W88zMf I hope this helps and thanks again for watching! :)

    I enjoy your videos. My dog is allergic to grains, chicken, and beef. I no longer have training treats if they contain many of these foods. What would you suggest I give him as a reward?

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  3 года назад +1

      Here's a section from my dog training manual that may be helpful. Before moving forward into this last chapter, keep in mind that I’m
      not a canine nutrition expert, nor do I claim to be one on the internet.
      However, below are some of the resources that I use when choosing
      the right food for my dogs, as well as what I like to feed my dogs as
      their training food, treats, and meals.
      With a puppy or a new dog in training, I will often start with a 5-star
      high-quality dry food during the training process. I also usually give
      the puppy raw goat milk from Answers to help ensure the dog is
      getting enough quality nutrition.
      If I don't have enough time for a training session, then I soak the kibble
      in water or raw goat milk and stuff it into a Kong or raw bone, then
      freeze it. In addition, I train with freeze-dried dog food, but that can
      be very pricey. Usually, a high-quality kibble will be okay. For me
      personally, I’ll transition them to a raw diet when all the main training
      is completed and then I use the freeze-dried food as a reward while
      training. This way, your dog’s "dog food" will be his training treats.
      This is a healthier and cheaper option to using store bought sugar filled
      dog treats.
      My number one source for k9 nutrition is from Dr. Karen Becker. She
      has an excellent RUclips channel full of useful content that will help
      you decide what to feed your dog to maximize their health and
      wellbeing. You can find her channel on RUclips at
      ruclips.net/user/MercolaHealthyPets. She also has a great
      book titled "Dr. Becker's Real Food for Healthy Dogs & Cats: Simple
      Homemade Food."
      Another great source to learn more about dog food is
      dogfoodadvisor.com. This website gives a non-bias review based on a
      5-star rating system. Keep in mind, however, that each dog food
      category is rated amongst other dog foods in the same category. For
      example: dry food is rated against other dry food, raw food is rated
      against other raw dog foods, etc-the issue with this is food categories
      are not all the same. Just like a martial arts belt system, we can think
      about dry food as white belts, canned food the blue belts, dehydrated
      and freeze-dried would be the purple belts, and raw would be the
      brown and black belts. Therefore, just like a 5-star white belt isn’t
      better than a 4-star black belt, a 5-star dry kibble isn’t better than a 4-
      star raw dog food brand. Once this is clear, it’s a great website to
      investigate the best foods compared to other brands.
      If you're looking for the best choice possible for your dog's diet, then
      I would recommend a 5-star premium raw dog food. Your dog needs
      a lot of water to stay fit and healthy, and many dogs on dry food are
      slightly dehydrated since dry food is only around 18% moisture, in
      comparison to raw at 70% moisture.
      Recommended treats for your dog:
      I don’t recommend many store bought treats, which are rarely healthy
      for your dog (just read the ingredients to see what I mean-lots of
      animal byproducts and factory floor scrapings). Instead, you’re better
      off making your own treats, or using premium ingredients. For
      example:
      - Freeze dried food used as a treat.
      - Bully sticks.
      - Bones from a butcher.
      - A bone or Kong filled with raw dog food or premium canned dog
      food, and then frozen for a tasty frozen treat.
      Human food:
      Often I’ll hear people say proudly, “I never give my dog human food”.
      This is great if their definition of human food is fast food. However,
      there is nothing wrong with giving your dog natural raw foods from
      the grocery store. Often when I’m cooking, I’ll give my dogs small
      bites from the raw ingredients. If I’m unsure of a certain ingredient, a
      quick Google search will often let me know if it’s okay or not okay to
      feed to a dog. Just like with anything, the key word is moderation.
      Final note; The longest living dog was an Australian Kelpie named
      Maggie that lived 30 years. The owner said that he fed her primarily
      a raw diet, including raw goat milk, and she would get plenty of daily
      exercise on the farm. This may be a good method to follow if you want
      your dog to live the longest and healthiest life possible.

      Yes, I explain all of it in my basic obedience series. Here's the short answer. Yes is my continuation marker and free is my terminal marker. • Continuation Marker: This is a sound that lets the dog know they will be receiving a reward. Sound = Reward
      Terminal Marker: This is a sound that lets your dog know they will be receiving a reward, but it also guarantees a release. Sound = reward & release

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  3 года назад +1

      Most dogs grow out of it, but for some, it can be an issue. For the next week feed him all of his meals in the car. Don't drive the car, just have him sit in it and eat. If he doesn't want to eat, then put the food away and try again later. Do not feed him anywhere else besides the car. Eventually, he'll get hungry enough that he will be willing to eat in the car. The idea is that you're creating a positive association with the car. When he gets excited to go to the car, then have him in it, start the car, drive it 10-20 feet or so and then get out of the car. Increase the drive distance the more comfortable he gets with it. Then you'll stop feeding him in the car, but rather after the short car ride. This way the car ride will start to predict his meals. I hope this helps and thanks for watching, liking, and commenting! :)

    My problem at the moment is with our 14 week old Kangal puppy. He sometimes engages in training and does what I want him to do, treat or no treat. Then, I shower him with praise and affection. At other times, though, and more often this is the case, he will just lie on his back exposing his tummy looking at me, and absolutely will not sit, or engage in any type of training. He will bite the slip lead, mouth me, and this goes on, with absolutely no success on my part to get him to even just stand up and engage with me! Treats do not work when this happens.

      @NateSchoemer  2 года назад +1

      When I first start teaching the verbal command, I prefer to use the terminal marker. This gives me an opportunity to do multiple reps in a short amount of time and it relieves me of the added pressure of trying to reinforce a stay. In addition, the dogs will learn to perform the behaviors more quickly, because they will learn that the faster they perform the command, the faster they will be released and rewarded. Keep in mind that speed is based on motivation. The more motivated your dog is, the faster they will move.
