About this video:
In this video, Ian Stone from Simpawtico Dog Training shows you how to apply the tools in what we call the Positive Training Trifecta: Presents, Compliments, and Massages. These three strategies are probably things you’re already doing, but we want to shine a spotlight on it and help you develop a killer technique for making your dog fall madly in love with you. This will not only act as a training accelerant, but will build your bond and teach your dog to listen!

Can someone please explain this to my husband lol?
Comment of the year, LOL 😂
OMG that is hilarious 😆😆
OMGOODNESS!! That is the funny for the day! Thank you!
I would still be married if my husband had learned these simple things.
THANK YOU! As a deaf person I’m so happy it’s accessible for us - thank you!!!!! We just got a puppy and this is soooooo helpful
Me and my therapy dog of 14 years have that special bond you're talking about at the end of the video (owner gravity). We have been together 24/7 since he was 8 weeks old, and he can "sense" what I want without me asking, and he pays attention to me basically all the time and has a drive to please me. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with mouth cancer 3 weeks ago, and will soon be leaving me for the first, and only time, to cross over the rainbow bridge. But in 6 weeks time, I'm getting a new little therapy dog (8 week old puppy), and I'll teach him everything I taught my old dog, and hopefully, we'll develop the same deep bond and understanding. 🥰💖
Is there anyone else out here that doesnt have a dog at all, but is just preparing for a time in the future? ;) cant wait to live on my own and adopt one :D
I have been for some time, but I am finally getting a dog this weekend! Keep the faith. :D
I grew up with dogs and going to school to be a vet tech. But my fioncè is allergic to everything with fur. :(
Don't own a dog but I've been watching a ton of training videos trying to assess whether I have the discipline and motivation to handle the large protective breed I really want.
Lotte's vanlife adventures Have you gotten a dog yet? Fingers crossed.
Allyson brunette how about hypoallergenic dog breeds
The Doc Antile of the dog training world. No disrespect of course. Appreciate your work sir.
So So fast. PR changed our rescue Boxer within hours. Not days. Hours. Previously he would hardly sit and was told NO NO NO! He's a Boxer (stubborn), and he would not listen. Now he's a completely changed dog, He wants to learn, he wants to please and he's an absolute joy to our family. We still have the odd issue we are working on, but Positive Reinforcement training is giving us and the dog huge benefits
Lol I've never clicked on a video this fast ever! This is one of my favorite channel! Keep up the great, educational videos!
Just one MORE reason to appreciate Ian Stone. Used many of Ian's techniques with my older girl. She has turned out so well...I just got a puppy and as soon as her shots are set we are off to SIMPAWTICO. Can't wait.
Can't wait to have little Cricket in class!
Puppy cuteness overload using your principles for crate training She is a dream!!!
Another great video! I love that you put your sources and additional learning tools in your video description, not everyone does that and its really helpful :) Thank you for your hard work!!
Thanks for noticing! 👍
Aly VCC, I agree with this comment. I greatly enjoy the sources and a little bit of science. Please keep up the great work, Simpawtico!
As we condition our dogs with positive reinforcement to make them feel good around us, they do exactly the same thing with us. Every time my dog chooses to come to me or asks me to pet her, I feel a rush of happiness that makes me wanna repeat that action over and over again. It goes both ways
I liked the fact that you defined positive reinforcement for me again and that it doesn't have to involve food every time
Thank you so much !!! I've adopted my dog a year ago and was having some troubles with her. I knew I had to do something myself, it wasn't the dogs fault. Everybody gave me these advices and I even had 2 dog trainers. But nobody was able to explain what you just did in the past few video's. I learned sooooo much about getting a bond with my dog, earning her respect and trust in a positive way.
Awesome! I'm very happy to help!
I love that you have links to science stuff. And referenced kids and significant others.
I like the way you demystify these principles. Confidence, clarity, and consistency along with commitment are my favorite take aways from this video.
This is the best short behaviorist primer ever.
Your videos are awesome, Ian! My wife and I have a Finnish Lapphund puppy and have been applying your training principles while working with him to great success. I'm very grateful that you are sharing your passion with us and imparting upon us the information necessary to foster a happier, healthier and more loving relationship with our dogs. Thank you. Fan for life!
Thanks! :D I love how your videos are partially technical and also very engaging. It was good to learn about the mix of rewards. :) I realized my dog is not used to my own touch while we are on walks. And now I am making a mix of rewards and adding the massage and touch. Thanks
Thank you so much for all of your videos! We sadly lost our Retriever Charlie in Feb, and are now ready for our new family member to arrive this week. Although we trained Charlie and he was brilliant, it has been super to watch and revise all the techniques that worked so well to produce one of the best dogs in the world! Thank you again, please keep sharing this amazing resource!
I especially liked the explaining about CES.
(Because) last summer I had a wonderful dog staying over. It was a pleasure starting from day one. But over time, up until the very last day he was there, I felt our bond growing, increased understanding and increasingly feeling comfortable with eachother. Which of course was a wonderful experience.
Thanks for sharing!
Simply the best.
Your videos are incontrovertibly the best.
The perfect mix of theory and practice. Clear concepts and vocabulary and the perfect touch of sympathy.
I learn so much with you I have actually made a BIG step with my 4 girls.
Can't explain how much I love your videos!!! I don't even have a dog but these videos teach me so much!
Thanks!
This particular video had me on the edge of my seat, so much so that I had no choice but to subscribe. Knowledge is power.
Thanks for showing the areas on the body that dogs like to be massaged! Great video!!
Thank you so much for not lumping all dogs into this training mentality. I have a working line german shepherd and have a decent amount of experience with high drive working and sport lines. While I have seen incredible results using a strong reward-based system with a natural behaviors, I have also found that I need to quickly deploy a negative reinforcement tool if boundaries are being pushed rapidly. I've had moments where I was aware that there would be a potential for a live bite if I didn't have a strong correction tool like an e-collar or choker available to me. But I love the psychology breakdown of how their behavioral patterns work and I actually learned a ton from your video.
Didn’t know dogs had that many sweet spots. I knew about their chest and ears but wow there’s a lot of them
You turn our new dog training so more fun. Thanks
I didn't know how much I've learned as a applied psychologist, untill you made me a applied dog psychologist. Thnx, I'm eager to learn more!
There's a lot of continuity there. It's really neat to make connections like that! Makes us better humans and better dog owners.😉
Best channel on RUclips. Easy!
Thank you, Pedro!
Thank you. I have just adopted 2 - 10month old pugs - brothers from the same litter. I am using ALL of your techniques. I wish I had learned these things with the other dogs I had in the past, I think our relationships would have been even better. I especially appreciated the information using OLIVE and her first days home - invaluable!
Your videos are seriously so helpful!!
Thank you!
I love your videos ,please never stop posting
Whoa..I mean, don't have the words to say Thank you enough! I've just found your channel literally a few days ago.. Your knowledge is totally profound..and indepth, but equally very simple!
We counting the days now until we adopt our new dog (first time ever in our family too! ) - retired greyhound - from our local Adoption group! A long time in decision making - but I'm very grateful for your great teaching and your passion..Will be showing these to hubby, as your strategies are the best way to BEGIN with..And you show with love and fun, just how efficient and effective they can be! :- D
Thank you, Sally. Congratulations on your (soon to be) new Grey. Awesome dogs. Let us know how it goes!
Just WOW! Your videos have been the greatest resource. We never had a puppy only adult dogs. I have recommend your videos to everyone I know. Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Can’t believe I discovered this channel just now. Very helpful and informative ✨🙌🏻
Wow! What an incredible video! Love this channel too. Look forward to your videos. Keep up the great work. Love all these important training points being brought together like this.
Thanks, Trevor! Much appreciated!
Just found your channel, great insights into how dog training works. Great production, overall amazing. Thank you for making these!
Loved this video, great info a good refresher in the psych. dept. for poochies and people. It is a good reminder to use what you teach all day as a normal interaction with your dog and eventually, it all starts clicking. When we get lazy our dogs get confused/and or forget, just our fault, but easily fixed. The only time things really fall apart is about 1-2 years before your pup passes on, then we just have to understand and compensate, they just can not do it anymore until God calls them over the rainbow bridge. Keep sharing = caring, blessings to you and yours, you make a difference in the lives of many dogs and their families.
Thanks for the videos! We have a 9 week old Toller in the house now along with our 14 year old Cockapoo. 14 years is far enough in the past that we'd forgotten how challenging it can be to have a new puppy, your videos have been very helpful in helping us with the new family member. We were never able to successfully crate train our senior dog, that's not going to happen with the new pup for sure - frozen, stuffed Kongs are already in the freezer.
Not only do you have many awesome videos, you have many awesome shirts as well! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Will do! Thank you!
This video wraps up a lot of your other teaching topics in a bow - really puts it all together. I definitely need to add more touch to my training. Another great video. We are doing well and wish I had video of some of our adventures for you to see how great Becca and jake are doing. Especially the reactivity - which generally is shorter in duration and intensity. We are still learning and practicing! Congrats on all your success!
Thanks Loni! Love hearing from you!
👍Thanks for confirming my thoughts and for saying it & illustrating it better than I ever could. 😁💞
I think you were talking directly to me about using too much treats. I will use your advice and use touching combined with treats. You videos are the best I learn so much from them. My 16 months old cocker spaniel and I can't thank you enough for all the help you have provided us
My pleasure!
Thank you for reinforcing my method of training. I have a Service Dog her name is Daisy. She is a great Sheltie mix. She is very happy and is one of the best dogs I have ever had. I like what you said about using there name to much. Daisy only looks at my if I raise my voice. And I don't like to even speak loudly. But I'm going to train her only using her name once then I will use Princess for talking with her. I talk to her all the time. We take two one hour walks a day. At sunrise and sunset. I need her to retrieve my meds, she refuses to put the ball in my hand or at my feet. She drops it and won't pick it up when I tell her to. She needs this skill to be the best service dog that I know she is extremely bright. She is a couple of months over a year old. I would have had her for a year in November. I rescued her from the local shelter. I got her just in time. My last dog was Captain Jack the Growler, he was extremely stubborn and would growl to tell me off. But he had a brain tumor and cancer all through his tiny body. It was horrible watching him slow down. He was the third senior dog I had. He had to be put down because he was having seizing fits. There was nothing that could have been done. So Daisy just learned how to jump on s table top. That will turn into a fun trick to amuse children and people in retirement homes. We plan on visiting our local children's hospital in s month. So I need to train her to put the ball in my hand or at my feet. Got any suggestions? I could use your help if you could find the time.
Hi Cheryl. Actually, there's a great video out there by Donna Hill on the process for doing this exactly as you describe: ruclips.net/video/tFDIhH4it8Y/видео.html
Hope that's helpful for you!
I’ve been using these tactics for the last week and it’s amazing how quickly they work! I mean, my wife always checks in with me now and my kids always want to make sure I’m happy! 100% recommend! Oh, also worked on my puppy 🐶
Your videos are helping me and my pup communicate much better! Thanks for the quality content!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the last comment on working dogs and service dogs… I’m looking for videos specific on PSA service animals. Also thanks for explaining what positive and negative reinforcement training is scientifically it’s not good or bad… hard to explain but you made it easy
This content is SOOO informational and SOO well presented, thanks!!
i love how you explain everything! It helps me understand better! Love your work! keep going!
Thank you! Will do!
I absolutely appreciate all the time put into editing, superb job! Keep up the great work!
Love your complete channel and everything I learned is going to my new 10 month old Rottie..
Dear Ian,
Once again, ANOTHER Video with Excellent Clear Concise Information - Superbly Presented with Superior Production Values. 4 Thumbs Up Buddy - Well Done ~
Thank you, Bruce!
Your More than Welcome Ian. Great Stuff - Superbly Presented - Are you SURE that "THEY" won't throw you Off RUclips for That ???? (LoL) It's a Pleasure to be able to Share your Short, Concise, Content Packed Videos with My Clients. Keep Em' Coming Buddy. Great Job. Best Regards, Bruce Stone _
Interdyne International K-9 Brooklyn New York
I love your videos! We just got a rescue dog--our first dog ever--and I have been "eating up" your videos! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Congratulations on your new family member!
Hi Ian. I love the cool animations you add to your videos recently. Also I always enjoy watching you talking, very engaging 😘😘
Another amazing video!! I sincerely hope you become the top trainer on youtube, you have such important material that other people do not cover at ALL!
I hope you'll be explaining the 4 quadrants very soon! I feel people need to understand (like you said) positive and negative do NOT be good/bad. Amazing video (:
Great video! I give my dog a lot of massages at home and will start to do massage with treats to reduce the treats when we are out walking! You explain things so well and give great examples to go along with your suggestions. I have subscribed and would like to get notifications of your videos to my email.
Thanks! I love your videos and your way of training dogs.
Very interesting. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Great video! Always good to get reminders for these types of training rewards
Great content! I wish there was a way to keep Zack George from showing up on my recommendation videos.
Yes this comment is exactly how I've been feeling!!!
Zak is awesome! So is Ian. They just have slightly different approaches. But both are filled with positivity and a clear love for all dogs. Zak does not only use treats, he's just more subtle about the rest, whereas Ian really dives in to the neuroscience behind the rest.
Agree 100% my dog will do anything of I'm giving her loades of incredible treats, it's when i don't have diced chicken or sliced hot dogs that impresses me!
Fab video. Thanks
Your videos never fail to be helpful! I'm definitely changing some things around in my training!
fantastic dogs!
Thanks for video )
I absolutley love your videos! The amazing information, the editing & all the time you put in. In this video however the background music was a tad too loud though. It would have been so much easier (for me) to concentrate on what you're saying if you could have the music a bit lower when you talk in the next video
Thanks for the feedback!
Sooo many good ideas on getting more bang for your training buck on this channel, I love it. I've really upped my use of touch for our new dog, who is easily confused when food is present, is finding it really difficult to tune in to voice commands and seems to get fazed if I do too much verbal praise . I love having a different way to reinforce with her, thanks.
I love your channel! Really enjoy the use of science and yet not doing it to hard for us that aren't too "in to" it, or for me that doesn't have english as my first language (swe). Thank you for an educational yet entertaining!
Love your videos! You break it down for the new dog owner. Awesome job!
Another AMAZING video. I especially was interested by the scientific reasoning for every layer of conditioning. I am learning SO MUCH and I feel very confident that Maverick is getting a lot out of this too. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge in this free format.
Wow, really love this channel!! Keep it up please.
Your videos have helped me so much! My dog used to lunge and bark at every dog we saw. Using your methods she now barely even glances at another dog even if they are being reactive themselves and instead looks to me. Thank you so much for your help.
That's awesome! Great job!
I can’t wait to try these strategies to train my new Great Pyrenees puppy!
I love the music you put through from 3:01 onwards which makes me listen more! Hope you can add more music like this :D
Ian, Thank you! Your videos (puppy biting in particular) have been so helpful that here I am actually subscribed to your channel,, big move for me!) A have a Chow/German Shepard bother sister puppy team. Here in the Dominican Republic puppies are frequently taken from their mothers early, I'm guessing Mingo and Maggy are about 4 months. Is this forum really the best place to ask questions? I have many... But mostly want to say THANK YOU. In a short time you have helped all three of us to greater enjoy each others company. Sim-paw-tico,, incluso un buen nombre. -A
Strange Ian, almost all of your video's have a few thumbsdown... why... WHY. All your video's are clear as water en are smooth to the edges, well explained and good to follow. I ques there are always a few.
Keep up the good work and a thumbs up from me ! :D All the way from the Netherlands.
I think a good number of those thumbs down are people that just don't like me or the way I look, regardless of the info. Kind of ridiculous but whatever, LOL. Thanks for the encouragement and greetings from New York!
We look about the same, they don't like me too all the time :D Love the Amon shirt... have that too.
You rock dude! Run that "Zak George's Dog Training rEvolution" to the ground!
TRUE
Oooor just use both.
Very true! Zak doesn’t really explain or demonstrate anything! I wish he explains more rather than take half of the video time to promote his sponsors :(
@@Bujaru agreed
Great video. Thanks for uploading.
Really enjoying all your videos. Can you do one about how to make sure a dog and cat get along please.
For anyone finding this video as amazing and helpful as I did while prepping for a puppy. Be sure to give it a second watch when you HAVE your puppy, especially if becoming overwhelmed makes you forgetful ☝️
Super glad it helped!
@@SimpawticoDogTraining 100% has. I need this especially as I have a stubborn little French bulldog. And I'm learning just how effective this type of knowledge is.
Truly, I may need to take a zoom class.
Keep up the amazing work!
Hi, I am in the UK and love watching your videos. I have a Lhasa Apso puppy just one year old and I want to show her. I have tried all ways to get her to stack but she will only do it when I have a lure right under her nose!! The minute my hand moves, so does her head LOL. Just wondered whether you have any ideas on how I can get her to stay in position without a lure...which I would give after she had followed the command?
hello Ian!
I think it'd be great if you made a video or even few videos talking about cruel and/or inhumane """training""" techniques that are sadly used and recommended, like using electro shock collars, spanking, water spraying etc. there are many ""techniques"" people recommend to each other that aren't at all techniques and resemble abuse more than anything and I think it'd be good to have someone point out to people who might be applying those out of ignorance that they might be hurting traumatizing or confusing their dogs,... many dogs who were trained with these improper ways that I've known ended up in shelters becuase they do not work and sometimes even cause behavioral problems
your channel is amazing I enjoy every video!
8:37. Yes, I was thinking it 😂😂😂
Really great stuff here. Informative, straight forward, entertaining and just overall an excellent resource for anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dog. Your subscriber count needs to catch up to the quality of the content! Keep it up.
Thank you!
Thanks Ian! So good content in your videos, and awesome quality and effects :D
I'll be getting a Cesky Terrier puppy in 3 weeks, yay. So a lot of your videos will help me.
I liked the explaining of layering :)
Is it good to start this layering while hand feeding the puppy? Or should I wait until training sessions?
Absolutely you can do it immediately! Remember that we are ALWAYS Classically Conditioning our dogs, so getting those feel good vibes in them right away will help build a strong bond very quickly!
Awesome stuff, I've been having my students read basically what you just summed up... I think I'll have them watch this video now instead 😉
Thanks, Dominic!
Thanks for captions for the Deaf
You're welcome, Jim!
I'm watching your videos again and again,they are somehow addictive!!waiting for my new puppy this week but i feel that you've already saved our life!Thank u so much!
“There are several spots on your dog’s body that go straight to the pleasure centers in their brains” ..proceeds to circle 80% of dog body
Thank you for the fantastic videos. What if my dog only cares about food? If I try to pet him he thinks I have food and if I don't he gets excited and bites me.
Hi Ian! I have been watching your videos on RUclips and I also bought the Online Dog Training Essentials. You are so awesome, and so helpful. My husband and I just welcomed our Golden Retriever puppy into our home this week. She is 11 weeks old, and has a lot of energy. We have tried the engagement training, so we can build value on the "yes marker" however, our puppy gets distracted so easily, and doesn't seem to be very motivated by yummy treats!!! Any suggestions?
I have a saint bernard and I used to have a 13 year old english mastiff but he died but this helps with my saint bernard
Your videos are so informative! I'm having trouble with my dogs recall, do you have any tips?
I have a American Bully and every sense I have had him, I've only worked with him on hand and head, eye communicating, nothing verbal until we hit the streets and he pays so close attention to me it ridiculous, right on my side or if someone confronts me he stands right between my legs with out hands or voice. Got him (Isaiah) when he was a yr old and now at 3,.
🇺🇸 God Bless you and thank you for sharing 🇺🇸
That's great. I love the "place" command between the legs. My dogs know it too.
Hey, do you have a video about cage training and picking the right cage, or if cages are needed 😊
Any specialty videos for Pitt Hounds?
Just found your RUclips channel and I am really enjoying the videos. I just rescued a puppy and would love any advice on keeping her confidence up. She seems fearful when picked up sometimes and I don't want to create any negative lasting experiences. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great videos.
I've got a handout on my blog that will get you started: www.simpawtico-training.com/groomer-wishes-knew-feet/
Beyond that, check out this video from DogStar Daily: www.dogstardaily.com/videos/handling-gentling
I am just discovering your videos and website. I love what you are doing. One of my absolute favorite training videos.
I have one question. I'd like to know what breed the large black dog in this video is.
Best wishes and continued success.
Hey there! Thanks for the generous feedback! And that dog is a Newfoundland. Her name's Chardonnay.
They interbred those with what was left of the Bernese Mountain sock back in the late 1800's. No wonder my Bernese looks so similar. Now I wonder what the original Bernese looked like. The coloring is different of course but the body is very similar. Thanks for the response.
Hi Ian! Thank you so much for the effort you put into your videos. They're really helpful and a constant reminder that it can be done. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to stop biting.... my puppy doesn't just nibble she full on bites and I've tried to distract her with chew toys, removing my hands, walking away, praising when she stops biting but it's only escalating.
Hillary Duong i have that problem too
I have that problem with my puppy too. I've even tried the yelping thing, but that only makes him more excited. Although having a small "time out" zone for him to cool down in seems to be helping a bit.
I had that problem too but my puppy eventually outgrew it. I followed one of Zak George's videos on biting. If I remember correctly, he says to make a fist and hold still to make it really boring for your dog to bite and then reward them when they stop. My puppy is a chihuahua mix so the biting wasn't unbearable but it was still painful. She still likes to "feel" my hands with her teeth but it's pretty soft now.
Fred Zhang I will try this! Thank you for the advice!
Hi Hillary! Super common question and I'm developing a video for this. For now, though, all the previous advice is good, but make no mistake you MUST give feedback about the biting. People make the mistake of trying to stop the biting and this is wrong. The more a puppy uses its mouth, the safer it will be as an adult. The proper training progression is not a reduction in frequency, but a gradual reduction in force. You only have the first few months to teach force before the brain chemistry changes and locks it in; you can teach frequency any time in a dog's life. So use the time NOW to teach softer and softer mouth over time. The "yelping" is the best type of feedback, but don't yip like a puppy. You're a grown woman. Say, "OUCH! That really hurt you little worm!" And play stops for a few seconds. YOUR PUPPY WILL PROBABLY TRY IT AGAIN. This is how they learn. Plus, you must be able to get away from them. This is another reason why strategic confinement is so important. Taking the puppy to a timeout is just confrontational. But YOU leaving them behind is much more psychologically significant. So YOU walk away when the biting gets too much. Confinement makes it so the puppy can't follow. Baby gates and such are perfect for this. And then you come back in a minute and try again. You may have to repeat. SO REPEAT IT. As many times as it takes. People get too frustrated with puppies, too fast. If something doesn't work the first time they move on to a new strategy. It doesn't work that way. It's attrition, it's application, and it's repetition. If the bites get softer and softer, you're doing it right.
SIDE NOTE: this strategy is no good past 6 months unless you've started it with them already. I've seen people try this with 8 month old puppies...it's too late. This strategy teaches FORCE. They'll have to teach frequency and hope for the best as an adult!
Good luck!
Awesome video! My only question is how regularly should treats be involved? Are treats more for dedicated training sessions where you're actively and consistently trying to teach a behavior? For example, our pup (13 weeks) will get caught chewing on things or trying to jump on things where our only immediate option is command followed by praise + physical affection, because the treats aren't nearby. He seems to be responding pretty well to this so far, but could always be better. Thanks so much!
thank you for this video. May i ask you a question? I do all of my dogs training, and she's a gem with me on behaving while we're outside. But in the house she won't settle or take me seriously unless my dad is around. When none of my parents are home, she will always be asking for play, and gets destructive if i ignore her, therefore i can't ignore her, and she doesn't tolerate her crate anymore. I want her to respect me like she respects my dad, but i don't know how to do that
Same thing happen to my mom. Try NOT to use high peak voice when you command your dog.
I am working to get off many of the treats. snuggle time and game time are almost as important as dinner time. I think we are heading in good directions. Now walking on leash....much work to be done.
Lol.. "In a nutshell there are several spots..pleasure centers...". I think that was just about every part of the dog; in other words, that was more like the whole nut, the shell and the tree.
I thought that was funny.. Thank you for your videos- Great Help for all
Yeah I guess you're right! LOL
