RR's are such a happy go lucky breed, they love to be with you. I can say I taught mine basic tricks, sit, lay, shake with both paws, rollover, go to bed within a week. Beautiful dogs with great personalities.
+Veu Hlavinková I'm looking to purchase a dog soon (the RR and Vizsla are near the top of my list), and I know the RR a stunningly beautiful dog, but I know they can be head strong and independent. But by the looks of yours, they can be trained to be very obedient. Do you have any obedience problems with your RR? And I've heard they don't bark a lot?
Writing back to everyone now a few weeks later, I am proud to say that training my RR without any treats, using only positive reinforcement, has proved to be greatly successful. In nature, dogs are not rewarded with a handful of food every time they do something productive, but they are rather rewarded by their peers with positivity. Also, using the positive reinforcement technique helps create a much stronger bond between the dog and human, unlike treat training where the dog bonds with the food, not the human
This is my second RR, they are the MOST intelligent dogs I have know!!! They will be your best friend and the most loyal! Make sure you strive to make its life better, and do things that will help your dog become better. RR become a family member within the first few days you have them. I would recommend you guys a pre bread RR.
Brilliant! I saw the treats or no treats debate lower down. You train with positive reinforcement and if your attention or a game of tug is suitably reinforcing especially when training new behaviours then that's fantastic. My RR on the other hand does need the treats early on for us to make anything like timely progress. He is my service dog and as such I do fade treats right down but I never fully phase them out (most people get rewarded for work). If someone is struggling to reduce food rewards then they need to look at their training and check the reward is coming after the behaviour and not as a lure or bribe before the behaviour. Happy training. Your reinforcement works and you obviously have one very happy dog.
Kristian S I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback it was extremely intelligent but he would only fetch twice you throw a ball the third time you just look at you like I brought it back to you twice go get it yourself and that was it
Bianca Arlette Well Said! I agree.... My dad believes that ones affection is a reward good enough... I would love to give treats (normal dog food) to reward a job well done as i feel affection is good, but not good enough. I dont want to use two different training methods as it would confuse the dog, and my dad is my dad... i need to follow what he says i guess. I want my dog to want to listen to me for who i am not because it wants food or is afraid of being hurt, just wants to be with me and know that by listening to me, fun will come!
Atlas, you answered the question I was going to ask. I was wondering if the RR would become too reliant on getting a treat, and might not obey commands if it didn't have any incentive (ie treats), later on. I would think just lots of positive reinforcement during training would be the best thing, but not sure.
Mike S Atlas Supreme Treats can be faded out over time. E.g. I used treats to teach my staffy "sit", "wait", "down", etc but I am no longer rewarding her every time with a treat. By now, I just reward with a "good girl" in most cases and only occasionally give her a treat for such frequently necessary behaviours. Also, positive reinforcement does not have to be treats only. That is a very misconception. When bringing the ball back during fetch, I don't give them a treat but throw the ball again because that is a much stronger reward to do it again in this exercise.
IT IS NOT SO EASY with the training snacks you will have: My small RODI was exicted on first trainig with regular snacks on 2nd we swith to salmon one on 3rd we use duck one\\ on 4th he refuse to work so we use a kitie kate food on 5th one beef short boiled on 6ht on I plan cow stomake smoked

he's amazing! really good job! :)
Moc Hezke Verčo ! :-)
Exactly, when playing fetch, the best reward is always to throw that ball again

so cute
moc pekne..dobre se na to kouka:-P
Brilliant :-)
Hi im really interested in bying one of these dogs. Where did you get yours and how much was it?
+Jitsu!
These dogs can be very expensive, look for a breeder but plan on spending at least 800-2500 for one.
You should try to train him without using treats... I am training mine without treats... working great!
She is rewarding him for jobs well done. Why should she not? No one likes to work for free.

The RR has trained the owner quite well. Without a single treat too!
