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! ❤️💕
Love your videos man. Probably the most aesthetic, best formatted, and most entertaining dog training videos on RUclips. Have seen great results with your guides! Thank you for doing this!
Love your mechanics on the walk. Thought you were going to go across your body with the treat, but just switched the treat to be closer to the dog's location - TY! So many people go across their body with the treat then wonder why their dog is almost tripping them because they are in front of them. Just changing where and sometimes when the treat is delivered improves everything dramatically! I also tell my students to not use a pouch - does the dog do what you want when it seems like you're not packing? I do allow one of those cross body items from dollar tree that look like a purse if they're so inclined. And you don't go from practicing once in the house to the bunny farm and hope the dog is going to listen. They need layers of learning and reinforcement before moving it from the house and multiple rooms to the back yard before going off leash to the park. I use a fenced in ball field and if I'm not 100% sure the dog is going to come when he gets his emergency recall word, am using either a more informal cue, like 'mere, or am just going to go get the dog. (And it's not a game of keep away either - if anything, they're running after you). Important if you do call, they come, high level treats, release with a go play, so they don't think the fun is over and we're going home every time I call them. Hope that helps.
I litterly do this everyday. My dog goes with s loose leach in heel position. BUT his focus is not on me and his very exited in his inviroment even tho staying in heel. How do i increase his focus to me?
So I have a 6 month german shepherd and she is crate trained but she isn't put in 1 alot, cause I don't have room for it to be out all the time so what you recommend I do,
Hi. I’ve been binge watching your videos. We brought home a 7 week golden retriever puppy 2 days ago. He is sleeping a lot and super lazy. Not motivated by food at all! I don’t feed him food in a bowl but instead have completed the crate training task. He goes in and out for food if I drop the food in the crate. But won’t follow my hand with the food in it for any other training. Any advice?
Puppies sleep about 20 hours a day and they need that sleep. Think about a cranky kid who is overtired but not getting a nap or enough sleep. Enjoy this time. It really doesn't last very long. Susan Garrett has a video on ranking treats, toys, etc - anything your dog likes. Maybe taking the bowl/meal and practicing a few position changes, mark, pause, treat, release word for each change, then I use an all done when training is over. Just stand by the crate and wait him out. Once he goes in, mark, throw a treat in the back, then put the rest of his meal in his crate - chow. Hope that helps.
Totally agree. I've had dogs all my life, even worked with dogs for years. This "crate training" must be some kind of fad. All of a sudden, it's terribly important. I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago.
@@babelfrog it makes life easy for lazy people they just cage it and bring it out when they have time , and they think the dogs love it , I work in the dog industry, most of the people that have problems are the ones that cage them , the dogs that are easy well adjusted are the ones that are out and about with the owners , they are simulated and content, if dogs love cages they wouldn't need to close them , if they don't close them the dog is not caged
@@juliecrowe5252lots of ppl dont understand or use the crate correctly. Its been a new thing for me but its been vital in helping my pup learn to settle and get the rest she needs.
I disagree. I've crate trained all my dogs. We use it like a cage when they're puppies. It means that we can leave them briefly and know that they're safe. Then, as they grow up, it's just their space and never gets closed. I have a toddler m, an evil cat and a 1 year old dog. The crate gives the dog a place that she can escape my daughter when he feels he needs to, and she knows that the crate is his place, and if he chooses to be in there, he must be left alone. Training him to be comfortable in his crate means that if I need to leave him for up to an hour, I can do it knowing that he's not going to chew cables, hurt himself, or hurt our furniture. Soon, we won't need to use it like that.

Awesome video. Thank you so much for your work!
Thanks Dog Daddy
Yes, my younger Dobe is a cranky sleeper so he's in a crate at night too - keeps him safe, the other dogs, and us safe.

7 weeks too young be away from mom..he's just baby needs sleep
A week ago we rescued a 5 year old who is not food motivated; however, she will react to a squeaker.
I've never used a dog cage , my dogs have all been fantastic, my dog can go anywhere his behaviour is impeccable

Its an us-american thing. Put a dog in a cage WTF.
