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! ❤️💕
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
Today I was practicing sitting with distractions (food being the distraction) I was wearing socks on the hardwood floor and ended up slipping and falling. While I was down my dog decided it was a good time to break sit and go grab the food haha. Dogs certainly are opportunists.
New dog owner with a new pup. Can't stand the other video's where they talk to the dogs like they are babies. Your video's are straight to the point with good info. Thank you.
Your videos are so helpful! I know dog training isn't always a step by step process and you need to adapt to certain situations, but it's really useful to have a basic guideline to fall back on if you get stuck.
I have a teenager who has forgotten all her commands were taught with implied stays. Decided to look at this video to see if there is anything I can do to help clarify things for her! Definitely going to try this with an elevated surface for clarity!
Been waiting for this a long time. Clients seem to want a sit stay. I'm in favour of teaching a down stay as dog is less likely to get up (unless they want to do competition or similar) Teaching the 3 positions first seems difficult for them so this short cut is great. They are always reluctant to loose the lure lol. Also the bit about not moving when giving release, I'll be watching out for that. thank you.
Thank you! What a great human-training lesson. If you can train people, dogs are easy. Found your video at a good time. We just adopted a 10mo husky who watches how I lock and unlock the front door.
Hi Emily. Glad to see you specifically speak about a release cue. Sometimes my KelpieX girl has trouble to relax properly without a specific release. Cheers to you and yours.
Thanks for your videos!!! Super helpful and easy to follow! I have been using your videos to train a stray pitbull my husband and I found to make him more adoptable ❤
LOVE your videos! Keep it up! I like that you showed variety. I often forget that the goal isn't just to make it constantly harder with my dog. Variety is just as powerful! :)
So far for 15 years of my training career it's been reliable. The reason it did not work for you is because you weren't using reinforcers. You have to condition the reinforcers as you would condition punishers. If food you use is not a reinforcer the training does not work which is what you experienced. In that situation you have to switch reinforcers or work on conditioning the ones you use to be stronger.
@@kikopup you dont know what you're talking about. Never said I used your method because I'm not stupid. Never will I ever use food to train a dog. I dont need your luck I have skill and experience. As well as proper methods that work for anyone
The click ends the behavior, according to what we were taught in the Karen Pryor Academy, so I don't repeatedly click during the stay, except sometimes when adding distraction. I do sometimes employ multiple treat delivery during the sit, depending on the individual dog. I do like the way you are instructing how to teach a release cue and I agree this is the best and fastest way to teach "stay". By the way, I know that some people, for example Chris Bach uses the click as a marker signal, not a marker signal and an end marker. Having learned her way prior to the Karen Pryor way, I can honestly say that both ways work, but it is important to be clear and consistent with the dog in training.
Thank you for the idea! I've been struggling with the stay, and the solutions that have been proposed to me really don't work well in my mind (therefore, not with my applying it to the dog). This is such an easy and sensible way to do the stay. I'm so going to try it!
I'm rewatching this video because the kikopup way of teaching is basically incorporated into all of my dog's basic obedience. Thank you so much for the video!
Great videos! I love how you account for all of the possibilities that can possibly occur during training, as less experienced folks (like myself) often substitute incorrect training to supplement what we don't know.
You know your dogs clicker trained when.... I'm watching this video and my dog comes over all happy "I heard the clicker!!!! Where's the treat!!!!!" Thanks for helping with my transition to positive dog training Kikopup!
Really enjoyed this video. As a cross-over trainer it is great to see how happy the dog is while learning. I will be definitely trying some of your suggestions.
Great video! We are practicing sit and stay right now. I was also wondering if you have any videos on how I can train my dog to sit by my side when called, and how to encourage her to sit closer to me and facing the same way as me? We would like to learn that next. We have been watching you videos for a few years now and learn so much. Thank you!
Hi, you can try putting the new word in front of the old cue (ok) for a while and then drop the old cue. So you could say 'release ok' or 'Free ok' I use 'go free' The dog will begin to move with encouragement on the first new cue.
One of the smartest dogs on the planet. It doesn’t count. My last dog was so smart you could tech him virtually any trick or command in less than 15 minutes. Beautiful animal.
Thanks for making awesome training videos. Your videos are very informative and easy to understand. Thanks for breaking the training in small steps with good tips. I am going to train my dog 'Proof' sit.
Your videos are stellar! I have been devouring them, reviewing them over and over. I am on a wait list to get my puppy. (It’s been 12 years since my last dog passed away. He was super! I am now retired and can be home again to spend more time with a dog), so I’m preparing myself and our home for welcoming and living with our prospective canine family member. I can’t wait to implement your methods of training! You demonstrate so very well the superior approach (positive reinforcement) for training dogs, explaining the reasoning and getting results that make dogs and their owners happy. I have a question about the “Release” or “Free” cue. When released from stays in your other videos (that I have seen so far) and in this one, the attention of the dogs is still on you; they break their stays and they come close to you. Does your use of“Release” or “Free” mean they can break whatever stay position they are in wherever they are ( in a car, on the sofa, in a crate) in order to come to you, or is that just what they choose to do? When I had my other dogs, to release from a stay, I would always say their name and then give a cue, like ”Come,” or “Heel,” or whatever. “OK” for them meant they were released to do whatever they wanted (within reason), like run and play, or eat the treat. So I had more than one cue to release them from a stay position which was in and of itself was cued as “Stay” (after cuing down or sit). Did I make keeping a reliable position stay more confusing to my dogs by cuing stay (after giving the position cue), come, heel, etc.? Over my life I’ve just had well-mannered dogs (Norwegian Elkhound, Labrador, Rottweiler, and Standard Poodle) in my home in the past; I had never asked them for a prolonged stay (for one thing, I didn’t know how to teach it; also, their behavior was pretty mellow anyway). With my prospective puppy, who will be an Aussiedoodle, I would like to do obedience trials or perhaps agility trials, for fun. How should I adjust my Stay and Release cues for the most clear communication with my dog?
Yes for me "free" is "come" for me "go sniff" or "go play" for me is they get to do whatever. I think that for obedience you should read what they prefer and train that for the competition. Saying stay really is not much of an issue I think in your case. Its more for new owners who will say "stay, stay, stay, stay" to their dog or train a down stay for so long that then when they say sit, and then stay, the dog might drop into the down as hes associated down with the word stay. But dogs can learn the "concept" of "stay" it just takes more time than sit means sit stay down means down stay and stand means stand stay. I use my own cue "wait" which is like the cue stay, when I want a dog to when learning a trick to stay in the position they are in.
Just practiced this behavior with my 7 months old islandic sheep dog. Step 1 : ok. Step 2 : ok. Step 3 : anxious look from the dog : "why is she stopping to treat me, I am sitting nicely ?" Release cue : dog does't move and gets more nervous. I invite the dog to move, she comes to me and sits immediatly expecting more treats. Back to Step 1 until she starts barking her head off at Step 3, jumps at the table where treats are, and this is when I end the cession. Followed a long minute of barking which I ignored. I don't know about you, but everything looks so simple on youtubes, and turns out to be so difficult in real life :( Should I treat her food she doesn't looooove so much ? ps : note that we're practicing Leave it regularly. Emily, if you read this message, I am a great admirer of your work and I've come to think the greatest dog can't learn much with a poor trainer like myself :(
You must have progressed too fast, dog became confused. Your timing for the click may also have been off by a fraction of a second, that's enough to confuse the dog. When IT doesn't work, you need to look at your delivery and drop criteria!
herdingdrive thank you for your kind answer. We've done a lot of progress on the matter, can't really remember the chronology, but once she understood what it was all about, she started to remain still and calm. Now she stays down, while I'am 10 meters away, jumping and making a fool of myself, trying any possible word to proof the cue release cue. She nows quite well the release cue now, but broke the down when I said " hello Pakkun" the name of her best dog friend, that was tricky of me. Anyway, we're continuing adding the 3 D's. thank you again
I love how you make it so clear thank you for that,also I have a French bulldog mix and I can't get him to sit, and I don't want to have to force him to sit what should I do??
If anyone doesn't have a clicker, but a smart phone then please look for an app! I'm super cheap so I just use iClicker (but I believe there are like 2 others but this works for me) from the AppStore and it's working amazingly!
Hi! What would be the time frame for training this sit/down stay? For how long and how many times a day? I realize the time it takes to fully train the STAY varies from dog to dog, but curious if there's a general good pace and schedule for the steps? I.e. Step one - 1 week - 3x/day for 5 min/day? something like that? Or is that overly prescriptive? Thank you!
Hi Emily, Why did you choose to use the clicker as a "keep going" signal in this scenario? I am not a big fan of having the click meaning "keep going" in some situations and being a release in others. Thank you, Jose Miguel Gomes.
Such a great video!! Thank you!! This is what I have been looking for, I am going to try it with my pup and then i cant wait to watch more videos from you. :)
Thank you! I am just starting to train my pup stay. I was wondering when to click during the process, I see you click more or less right before you return to offer a treat. I was worried that this might cause my pup to get up to come fetch the treat, but it seems to not be the case.
When i try to lure my pet in a position holding the treat over the nose a little up he tries to eat it. As a result my hands get hurt. How to do a proper lure so he does not jumps or plunge for the bite
I'm training my puppy and she does really good with come and when I point and say go, she goes to where i point but when I tell her sit, she will sometimes go all the way down. Working on that.
Hello, I was wondering if you could do a video about what order you should teach different things. For example, if I get a puppy home, what do I teach it first? It's name? To responde to the clicker? The positive interrupter? What order and what are the most important? This would be so helpful and I know others have requested it too!! :)
Love your videos. I have multiple dogs and wondered if you hav a griup training videos. Meal time is a ' feeding frenzy' and not sure how to stop the barking and jumping. Should I start one on one?
Great video! You don't actually say "sit" or "stay". Can we work in those words as well? It seems every time your dog is told to sit they will stay until released...
You likely misunderstood what they were trying to explain. Any deaf dog can be clicker trained or "marker" trained. Just as Emily say's you can use a verbal marker, such as "yes", you can use a visual marker, such as an led light. Alternatively, a vibrating (not shock) collar could be used. An led light is much cheaper than a vibrating collar. The marker is only used at the beginning of training each behavior. Clear hand signals are then added as the cues for the trained behaviors.
I love watching you interact with Splash. I don't have a dog but have read training books and carry a clicker when I travel, training dogs where I find them. I don't always have a lot of time with the dogs, so it was inspiring seeing how you moved through the training so fluidly. Thanks!

The release cue need to be fully trained on various behaviours like sit stand down crate etc? Or the dog generalizes the release cue to other behaviours himself?
I love these videos and the Dogmantics courses I have purchased. Stay is something I have never really gotten, so I have a sort of dumb, rudimentary question about this.When you divide training like this into "steps", does that mean we should do all these steps immediately right from the beginning, or practice just the first step until the dog gets that part reliably? In other words, when just starting out, should I give the dog lots of treats for staying in sit each time I am able to lure them to sit? Or do you mean we should first train them to sit on command, until that part is reliable, and then later move on to lengthening the sit into a sit stay? It seems like the idea here is to make it so that the dog just learns that sit means stay until released, and that it would be confusing to teach sit without stay first. But I also have a foster right now who totally does not sit naturally in response to a lure. He's having a harder time with sit compared to most dogs I've had, and I'm worried that the stay and release part is making it too hard to understand. I have had similar questions on other videos, and I feel like it's a fundamental part of the method that I'm uncertain about. If you're able to clarify this, I would really appreciate it!
I got a doberman at 1 year old. Initially I am told that dobermans should be trained with choke chain and punishment. I followed choke chain method for a month. But I can't go further with the method as I feel bad. Also my dog is not responding when I cant control him. Later I found your videos and very impressed about positive reinforcement methods. I tried no mugging, leave it, stay and loose leash walking. Nothing seems to be working with my dog. He responds for some time. He just ignore me other times. Even if I have high value treats, he just does whatever minimum needed to get the treat and immediately he goes and does whatever he wants. He always aggressively mugging, licking and biting my hand and food container. I tried hard to teach him "no mugging" but just minutes later, he starts to do the same. Some times I got very frustrated and stopped the training sessions and left him. But today I got very angry when he just did what he wanted to get food and stole some of food by nipping my hand. Suddenly I couldn't control myself and beat him and left him. Now I am feeling very bad and I started to think that he is not trainable. People say that 1.5 year doberman can not be trained. I need your advice on this. Kikopup, can you help me?
I have a 2yr old Doberman. A prong collar is helpful especially when walking but i find that training him new things is best with positive rewards, clicker and food. Dobermans usually have a high food drive and will go to hell and back for a treat. Some good reading, leerburg.com/
Why don't you try using a treat that is less simulating like carrot. My mum has a dog that will go crazy over food but carrot she will work for too but be less crazy over it. Never use a choke chain and never use a prong collar. The damage you are doing to that precious animal is wrong. Every time I see a prong collar, choke chain or shock collar I am disgusted. Just keep trying with your dog. Every dog can be trained. :-)
My doberman goes nuts over carrots, even an empty cutting board. He is high energy. Be disgusted all you want. You clearly have no experience with working bloodlines
I do actually. I have been a trainer for 15 years and have worked with a variety of bloodlines including Dobermans. I have no idea why you would be looking at Emily's videos if you were into prong collars. Her methods include no physical or psychological intimidation or abuse. Prong collars are abuse! My motto with dog training is: Do not do unto others what you would not do to yourself. I would love to see you post a video of you using a prong collar on yourself and lets see if you can endure the pain. All dogs can be trained without intimidation and abuse. You obviously have no experience in progressive reinforcement training.
Clicker training bases on the dog offering behaviors. You need to be patient with the training, especially with a dog that has painful and bad experiences on being punished for doing the wrong thing. Dobermans are fast to learn, and active dogs, so do different training in the same session, just "stay" gets boring. Also good time for training might be after or during a good long run. Just 5 two minute sessions in the beginning. NEVER get frustrated or especially never use violence with the dog if you want them to trust you and respect you.
I was just wondering.. quite a lot of your videos are with breeds known to be quite obedient. Do you believe same would be true for stubborn dogs such as Pugs.
These methods will work on all dogs! The breed doesn't matter. You can even do this stuff with a cat! In fact, I've taight a goldfish to swim through a hoop using clicker training, I'm sure your pug can manage 😄
I agree, these methods will work with any dog. the only difference is how long it'll take a particular dog to learn it. I have a bully breed mix and she's amazingly well trained now that I've switched to positive reinforcement training.
pugs can be great service dogs, I have seen them do great things, just be patient with your dog and go at your dogs pace, but be enthusiastic. Good luck and don't give up.
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 didn't even start bruh its too hard my dog keeps hurting me and biting my hand if i have a treat in it 💀

Don't. It will not work and is not reliable.
So far for 15 years of my training career it's been reliable. The reason it did not work for you is because you weren't using reinforcers.

Your videos are stellar! I have been devouring them, reviewing them over and over. I am on a wait list to get my puppy. (It’s been 12 years since my last dog passed away. He was super!

You must have progressed too fast, dog became confused. Your timing for the click may also have been off by a fraction of a second, that's enough to confuse the dog.
When IT doesn't work, you need to look at your delivery and drop criteria!

thank you for your kind answer. We've done a lot of progress on the matter, can't really remember the chronology, but once she understood what it was all about, she started to remain still and calm. Now she stays down, while I'am 10 meters away, jumping and making a fool of myself, trying any possible word to proof the cue release cue. She nows quite well the release cue now, but broke the down when I said " hello Pakkun" the name of her best dog friend, that was tricky of me. Anyway, we're continuing adding the 3 D's. thank you again
I love how you make it so clear thank you for that,also I have a French bulldog mix and I can't get him to sit, and I don't want to have to force him to sit what should I do??
Emily's book was really helpful when I got my puppy! It was an easy purchase and I'm a poor student. hahaha
If anyone doesn't have a clicker, but a smart phone then please look for an app! I'm super cheap so I just use iClicker (but I believe there are like 2 others but this works for me) from the AppStore and it's working amazingly!
Are u making any more videos? It's 2016. Great stuff
I like your videos. and thanks for giving suggestion
Hi! What would be the time frame for training this sit/down stay? For how long and how many times a day? I realize the time it takes to fully train the STAY varies from dog to dog, but curious if there's a general good pace and schedule for the steps? I.e. Step one - 1 week - 3x/day for 5 min/day? something like that? Or is that overly prescriptive? Thank you!
thx this is really cool
So do you not have a verbal/visual cue for stay then?
You are great ! Thanks and thanks again ! But one question : what kind of treat do you use ?
Hi Emily,
Why did you choose to use the clicker as a "keep going" signal in this scenario? I am not a big fan of having the click meaning "keep going" in some situations and being a release in others.
Thank you,
Jose Miguel Gomes.
This is great, thanks :)
Such a great video!! Thank you!! This is what I have been looking for, I am going to try it with my pup and then i cant wait to watch more videos from you. :)
It worked
Thx!!
Thank you! I am just starting to train my pup stay. I was wondering when to click during the process, I see you click more or less right before you return to offer a treat. I was worried that this might cause my pup to get up to come fetch the treat, but it seems to not be the case.
Awesome!
Great video, but have you thought about moving your treat pouch to the left side of your body?
Shaping is ok as well...I usually use capturing for some new behaviours.But generally, whatever works for each dog,,, : )
When i try to lure my pet in a position holding the treat over the nose a little up he tries to eat it. As a result my hands get hurt. How to do a proper lure so he does not jumps or plunge for the bite
I'm training my puppy and she does really good with come and when I point and say go, she goes to where i point but when I tell her sit, she will sometimes go all the way down. Working on that.
Hello, I was wondering if you could do a video about what order you should teach different things. For example, if I get a puppy home, what do I teach it first? It's name? To responde to the clicker? The positive interrupter? What order and what are the most important? This would be so helpful and I know others have requested it too!! :)
Love your videos. I have multiple dogs and wondered if you hav a griup training videos. Meal time is a ' feeding frenzy' and not sure how to stop the barking and jumping. Should I start one on one?
nice to see a new video from u! :)
My puppy doesn’t sit down when I put the treat over his head, he jumps to it.. any tips I can solve this? Thanks SO much for your work & the videos ❤️
Great video! You don't actually say "sit" or "stay". Can we work in those words as well? It seems every time your dog is told to sit they will stay until released...
You likely misunderstood what they were trying to explain. Any deaf dog can be clicker trained or "marker" trained. Just as Emily say's you can use a verbal marker, such as "yes", you can use a visual marker, such as an led light. Alternatively, a vibrating (not shock) collar could be used. An led light is much cheaper than a vibrating collar. The marker is only used at the beginning of training each behavior. Clear hand signals are then added as the cues for the trained behaviors.
This is still confusing for me as a dumdum but I ow this is so important. I watched it like 4 times in a row.
And one more ! Are all the clickers the same or some are better than others ??
I love watching you interact with Splash. I don't have a dog but have read training books and carry a clicker when I travel, training dogs where I find them. I don't always have a lot of time with the dogs, so it was inspiring seeing how you moved through the training so fluidly. Thanks!

You're Awesome! Thanks. :-)
Thanks for the comment! :) It means more people see my work so I appreciate it!
The release cue need to be fully trained on various behaviours like sit stand down crate etc? Or the dog generalizes the release cue to other behaviours himself?
I love these videos and the Dogmantics courses I have purchased. Stay is something I have never really gotten, so I have a sort of dumb, rudimentary question about this.When you divide training like this into "steps", does that mean we should do all these steps immediately right from the beginning, or practice just the first step until the dog gets that part reliably?
In other words, when just starting out, should I give the dog lots of treats for staying in sit each time I am able to lure them to sit? Or do you mean we should first train them to sit on command, until that part is reliable, and then later move on to lengthening the sit into a sit stay?
It seems like the idea here is to make it so that the dog just learns that sit means stay until released, and that it would be confusing to teach sit without stay first. But I also have a foster right now who totally does not sit naturally in response to a lure. He's having a harder time with sit compared to most dogs I've had, and I'm worried that the stay and release part is making it too hard to understand.
I have had similar questions on other videos, and I feel like it's a fundamental part of the method that I'm uncertain about. If you're able to clarify this, I would really appreciate it!
She has a ton of trick tutorials if you check out her channel.
oooo I never thought of that! haha thanks! :)
I got a doberman at 1 year old. Initially I am told that dobermans should be trained with choke chain and punishment. I followed choke chain method for a month. But I can't go further with the method as I feel bad. Also my dog is not responding when I cant control him.
Later I found your videos and very impressed about positive reinforcement methods. I tried no mugging, leave it, stay and loose leash walking. Nothing seems to be working with my dog. He responds for some time. He just ignore me other times. Even if I have high value treats, he just does whatever minimum needed to get the treat and immediately he goes and does whatever he wants. He always aggressively mugging, licking and biting my hand and food container. I tried hard to teach him "no mugging" but just minutes later, he starts to do the same.
Some times I got very frustrated and stopped the training sessions and left him.
But today I got very angry when he just did what he wanted to get food and stole some of food by nipping my hand.
Suddenly I couldn't control myself and beat him and left him.
Now I am feeling very bad and I started to think that he is not trainable. People say that 1.5 year doberman can not be trained.
I need your advice on this. Kikopup, can you help me?
I have a 2yr old Doberman. A prong collar is helpful especially when walking but i find that training him new things is best with positive rewards, clicker and food. Dobermans usually have a high food drive and will go to hell and back for a treat.
Some good reading, leerburg.com/
Why don't you try using a treat that is less simulating like carrot. My mum has a dog that will go crazy over food but carrot she will work for too but be less crazy over it. Never use a choke chain and never use a prong collar. The damage you are doing to that precious animal is wrong. Every time I see a prong collar, choke chain or shock collar I am disgusted. Just keep trying with your dog. Every dog can be trained. :-)
My doberman goes nuts over carrots, even an empty cutting board. He is high energy. Be disgusted all you want. You clearly have no experience with working bloodlines
I do actually. I have been a trainer for 15 years and have worked with a variety of bloodlines including Dobermans. I have no idea why you would be looking at Emily's videos if you were into prong collars. Her methods include no physical or psychological intimidation or abuse. Prong collars are abuse! My motto with dog training is: Do not do unto others what you would not do to yourself. I would love to see you post a video of you using a prong collar on yourself and lets see if you can endure the pain. All dogs can be trained without intimidation and abuse. You obviously have no experience in progressive reinforcement training.
Clicker training bases on the dog offering behaviors. You need to be patient with the training, especially with a dog that has painful and bad experiences on being punished for doing the wrong thing. Dobermans are fast to learn, and active dogs, so do different training in the same session, just "stay" gets boring. Also good time for training might be after or during a good long run. Just 5 two minute sessions in the beginning.
NEVER get frustrated or especially never use violence with the dog if you want them to trust you and respect you.
I was just wondering.. quite a lot of your videos are with breeds known to be quite obedient. Do you believe same would be true for stubborn dogs such as Pugs.
These methods will work on all dogs! The breed doesn't matter. You can even do this stuff with a cat! In fact, I've taight a goldfish to swim through a hoop using clicker training, I'm sure your pug can manage 😄
I agree, these methods will work with any dog. the only difference is how long it'll take a particular dog to learn it. I have a bully breed mix and she's amazingly well trained now that I've switched to positive reinforcement training.
pugs can be great service dogs, I have seen them do great things, just be patient with your dog and go at your dogs pace, but be enthusiastic. Good luck and don't give up.
I trained a Donkey to back up on cue. I have also worked with cats teaching them to sit and such.
