So refreshing to see a lesson in working with a very challenging, high-energy, unschooled dog. I like it that the goals are fitted to the dog's level and it's about bringing her into a range of receptiveness (to the handler) rather than hitting the end-target (releasing toy on cue) in one session. Awesome.
What I love about this is how you stay calm and manage to share what you and she are doing both at the same time as allowing us in to see what really is happening and what reward ignore etc really mean in oractice. Pausing stillness cues etc all the fundamentals going in cf just jumping in with training sit stay etc.
Glad you enjoyed it, there are several more to come as we keep working with Nox. It is not always easy but we hope to show people that if you work at it that you can and will see change.
Really great video! It shows the reality! I appreciate that is shows the real time the whole session lasted. My dog is exactly like Nox. Now I will try to train him like in the video. He is so possessive about his toys, sticks outside which he chews and gobbles down, garbage, everything! Thank you for making these videos! : ) ^..^
Thanks, real is exactly what we wanted to show people. Dog training is a process and it isn't always easy, but if you work hard at it and do this sort of thing 3 or 4 times a day you will see the changes. Best of luck to you and keep up the good fight.
Thanks R.B., that is exactly what we hope to do. We will continue to work with Nox right up to the point were she get adopted. We are not sure how long that will be but we hope to have you guys with us every step of the way.
At last!! A realistic dog training video. I've been struggling to train my 10 month Collie, other videos make it look so easy and I am left wondering what I'm doing wrong. I feel loads better knowing that it isn't as easy as it looks, and it's not always perfect. Me and Jess are really enjoying training now. Thank you so much for this series!
Great info, thanks for doing this type of videos. You are an inspiration. I would like to know how much time did you guys spend for the first video to the last one where she finds a home to stay? :)
That is an excellent question, Mario! I cannot remember exactly, but we shot the videos in a relatively short period of time. We usually did two to four (filmed) sessions per week, sometimes more than one in a day. So the entire project took less than a month.
@@DunbarAcademy Thanks for the answer. Do you think if it is possible to re-train a dog (2 years old) with these series of videos, same breed but bad behavior from previous owners? Thanks in advance :)
@@DunbarAcademy Do you have an videos or know of anywhere that I can find videos that actually show a trainer addressing and correcting aggression or just videos "about" addressing aggression? I've searched and searched and searched all over and the only videos I've ever seen where dog aggression is shown to corrected were from people that use methods of force and domination over the aggressive dogs. I've seen a LOT of videos of people "explaining how" to correct aggression without force or negative reinforcement, but never displaying that in actual practice. It's looking like the only way to actually correct aggression is with the use of force.
@@underduress5761There are no such videos in existence because the modern ideology that's being pushed through the animal lover's programs of purely positive reinforcement ignores how dogs actually communicate and denies that dominance and forceful correction is needed to stop aggressive behavior. They beLIEve that only treats and toys and petting is needed, but that only works on paper and not in the real world. If it were true, then there would be a plethora of examples available to see it in practice, but there's not one single video that has ever surfaced that shows force free methods working to end aggressive behavior of dogs. And most of the people that claim to be PP don't even try to work with aggressive dogs because they're afraid to get bit and they really do not know what tf they're doing. It's all a euphoric ideology that doesn't work.
Toy motivated dogs are so much easier to train than food motivated dogs in my experience. Knox looks like a joy to work with. I like a dog with some spirit 😂
What kind of dogs is Nox? She looks like some sort of Belgian Shepherd? There's a perception that "positive only" trainers can't train a high drive dog (like a Malinois or working line Shepherd), but she looks like a high drive smarty pants dog😂🐾
I would have two balls one to play tug with one to swap with when the dog won’t give up the one I’m playing with. The dog also learns to give up what they have a lot quicker. Personally I’d prefer to see dogs in harnesses regardless of size as collars can damage their neck as it’s a very sensitive area when the leash tightens and they become reactive. Front wear harnesses are rubbish but a t shaped harness is a secure fit and doesn’t rest across the dogs chest. I believe Indi Dog ship international and make harnesses fit for life.
I feel that using her name and either a swap or a name cue I.e dogs name good swap and then swap the toy would help reinforce what you are asking of her?
Its not about tugging its about engaging with you for a reward at this point from what I can see i can see she still needs you to continue with swaps games at this point of training
Why isn't the dog in a calm state of mind? Jumping isn't good either. Fooling her, doesn't calm her mind. So, instead of gently training her state of mind, you negotiate her behaviors? She may do things but not for long and who have all day to negotiate with a dog? Better to gently change her state of mind vs tricks! If she was with other dogs they don't ask because they are not humans. If you walk a dog, give gentle commands, they'll be trained faster. Exercise, discipline then affection is best. Shepherd dogs are smart. You could have walked her, and tired her out so she will listen faster.
Well if you work correctly she will become better at the behaviours and you won't have to negotiate. It is like a kid learning maths in the beginning 1+1 is hard and over time it becomes easier.

Wahoo! So excited about this series. Looking forward to more episodes. Awesome job. Woof woof!
Glad you enjoyed it, there are several more to come as we keep working with Nox. It is not always easy but we hope to show people that if you work at it that you can and will see change.
I love this, real time with a really untrained dog. She learns fast, I look forward to seeing further episodes. Thank you for sharing!

This series is great. I hope you continue all the way into the great outdoors as Nox progresses! Keep it up! Great series idea.
Thanks R.B., that is exactly what we hope to do. We will continue to work with Nox right up to the point were she get adopted. We are not sure how long that will be but we hope to have you guys with us every step of the way.
That's gonna be bloody awesome. Good stuff!
We'll get her back on camera and in the great outdoors soon! But one much learn to walk before they can run. LOL :) ~ Kelly

The struggle is real...lol
Doing great!
It is very real indeed and thank you for the positive feedback.
Do you have any videos of you training aggressive dogs that bite people, to correct that aggression?
Not on RUclips, sorry. We do have videos about addressing aggression on DunbarAcademy.com

Hi!
Awesome and informative video.
What kind of toys are you using?
And, how long is your training leash?
Thank you!
My dog jumps on me instead of the toy, what do I do?

You are right, she's a Belgian Malinois with a LOT of drive!

Is she the daughter of Ian Dunbar, dog behaviorist with British accent?
