- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Many dogs out there lack focus and engagement with their humans. This dog Sarge went from being one of the most distracted disengaged dogs to one of the most focused. Both the owner and I were shocked how much he transformed during board and train. This is just a sneak peak into some of the methods we use to shape better behaviors.

“He’s just on his own little mission” definition of my GSD….
Hands down the best training channel i have discovered(and ive seen a few).. no BS, straight to the point and you are not afraid of correcting the dogs but at the same time never coming across as over the top harsh... This space needs more good balanced trainers like you....keep it up
Wow thank you. Very nice compliment. I appreciate it much
Absolutely! I love his channel, I learned so much!!
I agree with Smiley, best dog training channel on the internet in my opinion and I have researched a lot as well
Oh yeah this channel is awesome! My favorite two so far are this channel and Beckman's dog training
I agree
I like that you told us where you messed up at first with the e-collar Timing too. Letting us know even the pros aren’t perfect, and a reminder that this stuff takes time. Good video man
I've never read a book so fast! ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.
It always amazes me the lessons within the lessons. Your ability to breakdown and simplify things/ explain behaviors, expectations, and what your trying to accomplish while training is truly master class. To become really good anything you have to master the basics. Your breakdown of what your trying to accomplish to the basics provides the insights how to set a path to succeed in training.
Thanks so much!!
I really don’t understand any thumbs down put towards your video- can’t please everyone!
Thank you brother. Much appreciated. It's a very high compliment and I definitely appreciate it.
Cant agree with this comment even more. Love how you also shit on other channels that talk about a bunch of BS. You’re up front, straight to the point and very informative
This was my lab when we really started to up his training around 7-8 months. Super good with every command, big food drive, honestly easy to train dog, but just really struggled with focus.
This video was a lifesaver!
At around seven or eight months a lot of dogs kind of get into a stupid stage. I think it's their hormones. But they will tend to lose focus and forget things that you've trained them. I've heard that eight months is the very popular age for dogs to get turned into the Humane Society. Friend of mine, a professional dog trainer, told me not to worry too much about the dog at seven and eight months because they turn stupid for a little while. Your dog was just growing up.
This is about German Shepherd Dog training pal not Labs
@@michaelcollins237 no .. :D this work for all dogs that lose focus, do you really think there is a big change in something, regarding if it is Lab or Shepherd ?:D
Getting a German Shepherd puppy in the next couple weeks or so and I’m looking to train him myself and really build a bond from the get go. This channel is awesome and it’s getting me super excited to start this process! Thanks for putting this stuff out for fellow dog lovers to learn from!
When Gunny came off the touch pad @ 2:12, it was right after you spoke the word “break” in a sentence.
Right? He's like "break? You said break, PEACE!" 😂. Precisely why training certain koywords in a different language can come in handy.
He's acts 100% like my GSD ! Glad I found this , hopefully it helps me !
And he is acting like my GSD too! Yes if I leave him be he will follow his nose to the edge of the world!
Did it help?
Mines all day. He will fetch, sit, lay doesn’t last long at all. He’s old and still has the energy of and puppy. I love it tho. I’ll come outside he’s trying to jump and catch birds out the air. Bought him in Germany.
Same! My pup does this exact doggy ADD thing
Did it help?
I have an eight-week-old GSD female who is a wild child. She is so food driven that she won't look me in the eyes, no matter what I try to do, but is always watching my treat hand. Her attention span is about five seconds, and if she is outside forget about her coming when she is called. She has two speeds: full blast and sleep.
As time go's by when she dose what u ask just don't feed her as much give her a rub I have a cane corso ad he was the same but that's what I did I am no trainer but I have trained alot of dogs just try it
😂😂😂
Found an abandoned female German shepherd. We think she is around 6-7months.
I thinks she has ADD as well. So distracted. Won't come to me worse these past few days. This was helpful and I will try with her.
Give belly rubs n behind ear, give her fruit, like apple or peach, i saved one girl gsd too, she happy and get excited alot coz she free out of kennel
I can't thank you enough for this video. I just adopted a German Shepherd, American Pit Bull Terrier and Staffordshire mix. She's now 10 months old and her attention span is 5 seconds. This is going to be so helpful. Thank you. 👍❤️🐾
This is my adopted Boerboel! OMG he is now 16mos and still has puppy ADD!
Thank you for this video!
I might have to watch this video 700 times to teach myself how to teach my dog lol But incredibly helpful. I wish you could come train my dog with me like that xD
So glad I am alone in that😊
End of March, my husband and I inherited his mother's 5year old German shepherd. She needs a lot of work. I am glad I have found this channel. So many little points that I have been missing. The big ones I have grown up doing and our dogs have always been great, but this one is challenging. Thank you for the videos. The little things help.
You are an awesome trainer!
You get straight to the point and you're not sugarcoating stuff neither.
Dogs respect you and they're not afraid of you, love it!
It's such a shame prong collars and e-collars are banned here in The Netherlands.
Even without those incredible training tools, you still helped me alot with my dog.
This was actually the hardest thing for me when teaching my dog to be attentive, thank you so so much!
Just wanted to say ive done 2 20 minute training sessions with my 3 year old German shepherd to loose leash walk and I just want to say he walks like a dream after just 2 sessions in the same day he also seems much more relaxed and so do I thanks so much for your videos your truly are amazing with dogs. From England
You explain things better than any dog trainer on RUclips! I've been binge watching hoping to find what I need to get my 4 month old rottweiler in line.
I’ve had my puppy gsd for 1 month now he’s 6 months old.at home he listens but outside the house he’s in his own world
Same & I have trained lots of Rotties, but this shepherd mix rescue is a challenge. I'm really, really trying. He's the smartest dog I've worked with but also the hardest to get to listen outside of the house/yard.
Just did a bunch of this with my military/police trainee Malinois before we went into our warehouse job today. We had all ok l sorts of noise and distractions around and he did amazing. Thank you so much for these practical drills!
Can't wait to try this with my ADD Shepherd. I've been looking for a fix. Thank you for your videos, they're doing more help than you know!
How's it going so far?
@@theforce5191 it has worked wonders!
I really like seeing the touch plate in action. I also REALLY like the "free" command. It differentiates between work and play.
Been a Leerburg fan for a long time, but American Standard is top notch and a step up! I cannot wait to finish my dogs on this program as it gives far better details to the fine tuning than any other program out there.
Want to learn? This is the program to do it. Way better than Michael Ellis defining away 45 minutes of your life on technical terms and little application.
One of the few trainers who dont use dogs who are pre trained to perfection. Not affraid to show the hard side and the failures.
Really loving this video! The amount of progress in just this one session is amazing.
I hope do others with this more technical format, because this is my first video of yours, and I really like it! I have been rehabbing a few problem dogs for years, and this is going to really take them to the next level.
This gives me a starting point with my own afhd German Shepherd. She 100% would follow her nose for miles. After working with a prong collar she's becoming food motivated which is helping out a lot.
Acts exactly like my 5 month Amstaff - he has had ADD since I got him at 9 weeks 😅 glad I’m not alone
I have an ADD GSD working line Czech dog. I’m finally getting through to her with your videos. Thank you!
Perfect description of a GS. I've had my boy since 3 months now he's 2 and he's left the house about 5 times. He chases cats and God knows what else but he always returns about 24 hours later after his binger and plops down and passes out like a college student after a hard weekend lol. He's a lot better lately and sticks around since I've done more training with him because the last time his paws got hurt somehow pretty bad but he fully recovered.
We now have our first non-hunting dog, a German Shepherd. She's been with us for 9 days. The breeder already had her sitting on command w/treat reward and laying down (down command) and also crate/kennel command. All of which she's doing very well and we've been continuing that training w/treat reward. At 15 weeks she's very sloppy on other commands like here and sit/stay, she's still a puppy. In the past I've had hunting dogs, Labrador Retrievers. At 6-months I would begin e-collar training with only the buzzer for correction until 9-months and then the serious training would be in full swing, including shock correction. By a year those dogs could hunt with the best of them. This is our first Shepard and frankly, I'm in uncharted waters. We were behind the curve just a little bit by not finding her until she was already 14-weeks so she had probably a little longer adjustment time, but she's getting there. At what age do you introduce the e-collar on a Shepherd? And do you use a break-in period, like I have in the past, of a couple 3 months, for the dog to adjust to a collar that vibrates and makes noise?
Hi,got a 2 months old gsd pup couple of weeks ago & your videos are really helpful.His potty habits are good as well as his walking with the leash & this video was what I was looking for.Thanks & keep up the good work 🙏
I found this channel when my adopted dog suddenly realized that she was a pitbull right around the same time we learned that's what she actually was. (Her adoption papers said she was something else entirely and we had to do a DNA test to figure out what she really was to better understand her and her needs) Anyway, thanks to this teaching series we learned what tools we needed and how to use them to train our Luna not to attack strangers as she walks down the street anymore or to chase delivery people when they step on our porch. This has helped to make our lives much easier and our dog a much better behaved pooch. We have plans to eventually adopt a GSD and we will use the same tools to train that dog as well but I will use them much sooner since I'll know much more before we bring our new family member home by then.
Having the same issue with a 17 month old Bluetick Coonhound. Was being train to be a hunting dog for 6 months and didn't work out. His nose keep him busy. Now trying to reverse that hunting training.
I have a coonhound out of Boat lines living in the suburbs. Coons are instinctively hunters you aren't going to have a ton of luck on reversing hunting skills, better to work with the skills they know, aka teach them to show interest in what you want. My girl loves skunks and possoms so we go on adventures tracking them down and getting pictures, as such she's learned to stop chasing cats and flipping out over dogs and people on bikes. Also a good idea to work them before they eat as they sometimes get lazy and decide to stop. Barnhunt, canicross and bikejorning or scent trials are all great ways to build obedience, commands, and bond while letting a hound be a hound.
Thank You!! My rescued pbt mix was just like this german shepherd, but worse 😅 and finding this channel was a complete game changer. It's been a year now and sometimes I just can't belive it's the same dog. Best wishes!
I have a working line shepherd like this, thanks for sharing these great training tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful! I have a 4yo GSP that has the ADD of all ADD, blows past me, points and chases leaves and anything else that flies by in the wind. I will be trying a touch pad!
LMAO "He's on his own mission." - Garrett 😆🤣😅
OMG we have been struggling with doggy ADHD for a long time. Thanks for the video and instruction! This will up our game massively!
I love your pfp
@@_HGT_ Thanks!! He sleeps with no less than 6 unicorns, pegasuses, llama-corns, or longhorn cows. I have no idea the fascination he has with them but, he picked them out.
@@landothegermanshepherd 😂😂
My 4 month old pit husky mix is the same way. Digs, puts everything in her mouth, easily distracted and everyone keeps saying shes a puppy. My mom finally tried playing with her and saw her in action. She looked at me and said maybe she had adhd. I replied finally you see what I have been telling you. Thank you for the video.
OMG !! That's my GSD now I know it's ADD🙃- Diesel is 2 1/2 now and I've tried everything - Have fun So it's not boring BUT when he's done, he just walks away - Ive shortening training time BUT still the same old thing - I hope U have more videos with him 😍
You are such an amazing trainer which shows how much patience and understanding you have for both the dogs and owners. Wish you lived closer to me. Just got a Doberdoodle Snauzer rescue and having such a hard time with his attention span when cars or ANYTHING goes by. He will be 8 months on the 17th of November and learned all the tricks my deaf 3 yr. old doberman knows. When you train are you using the vibrate or shock on the collar when you say turn it up???? Thank you again for ALL you have taught me.
I was wondering for so long how to train my dog focus and this is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks a lot! :)
let me know how you get on when a squirrel runs by :D
@@gabrielcox7348 We only have foxes and cats around here, but when I'm with him he ignores them so far when I tell him :)
Just got my GSD aussie mix❤❤ thank you for the help because he will ignore me as if I'm not calling!!
I'll start working on this training skill today. My almost 6 month old, 55 lb black German Shepherd Charly girl is a wild child. I work on everything I can to help curb the wild side her. I need to do better. This may help.
It’s so amazing how you can do it so quickly
Thanks for providing a full session for us. This helps out a lot
wow my new 2 month old puppy is learning from these videos thanks its making it easier to train her now 😄❤️
Excellent video. Thank you! You've already mentioned on other vids about Rottweiler ADD, and I'm feeling it. My 7 month old pup is exactly like this GSD (maybe worse, lol). He's only on a HS 2.2mm when training, but would love to introduce an E-collar. He's smart, except for when those bugs or birds or leaves fly by. 😅
These channel have helped me alot with my dog
Love this long format video. Thank you for showing the process. Very beneficial!
I'm going to have to do this I have the same problem with the add and the fly by but she does about 2-3wide circles after the fly by. I have followed all your tips and methods and had amazing success with leash behavior and obedience using the prong. Even when doing recall on a long lead she is 100%. But off lead I struggle to regain focus and obedience. I have no issues with the e-collar it's my wife that thinks it's cruel and barbaric. Even our vet has tried to explain it to her that's it's a tool in the tool box and it's how the handler chooses to use it. With the prong when I can't get her attention back to me verbaly when she sees a squirrel or something the lightest tap brings her back and engaged. I really think an e-collar will be the correct tool for off lead work.
Just subscribed to your channel, I've watched several videos already. Very good info! I just got a GSD puppy. Although I have an old collie mix that is elderly, I spent a lot of time training her and running with her when she was young. I am a little nervous with the new pup as I am now disabled and can't do as much or have as much energy as I used to. Your videos have given me a lot of confidence so thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and congrats on the new puppy! If you need additional training resources, please check out DIYK9.com for our memberships and courses. The "Puppy Essentials Bundle" would be a good start if you need training assistance. Best of luck!
“Pain” retains with insainly epic training love the professionalism and dedication so glad I found this channel I need to implement some of this with my dog/puppy barely over 1 ausi shepherd mix
Thank you for information.
Great video as we have a dog coming in with the same problems
Focus on the focus. Pay for engagement
Such a helpful video. Thank you. “ADD child”
Thanks for sharing. I really liked the way you broke down the progression you are training him through.
Beautiful dog and fantastic video! Thank you so much! I have an ADD dog who looks almost identical to the one in the video. This was very educational and well done. Thanks again!!!
Thank you helped me a great deal my GS female same age just takes off I call her Tornado Lil but her name is Bella but she goes like a Tornado.
Masterclass! A lot to unpack.
My 10 week GSD has ADD aswell. I guess he is just being a puppy. New follower to channel and I love your work and resources that you provide. Thanks
He’s very smart
What treat are you giving your Sheppard
This channel is very good channel for training the dog...thank you ,sir, take my ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video my gsd is like that dog on walks then becomes reactive
Amazingly awesome training! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. I’m a newbie at trying to train my pups, I always send them off to a boot camp of sorts. But since finding you I’ve started working on my latest little puppy, a biewer terrier, who is a ball of energy. I’ve done a pretty great job with basic obedience. But, he’s been playing with my youngest son a lot lately & picking up some bad habits. But this video helps a lot
My dog is 7 months old and I'm having a hell of a time Keeping her from running to play with every person she sees and getting her to listen once we're outside. Working to find a way to stop her when she chases after someone but it's proving ineffective so far
Definitely Will work on this like this for sure
I enjoyed watching this ! Thankyou 🙏 it was very informative
If you call this ADD, not sure what sort of mental craziness would you call my dog. He is 100x worse and I am paying him for every look, yet he usually is so distracted that he does not care about food or toys. He does not care about rly significant corrections on prong caller either. I had a problem with an e-collar as even so tight that I cannot possibly slip a finger under it, the e-collar contacts were unreliable or inconsistent. I will shave off some fur and go your route. Thanks for the great video! I really appreciate the "no bullshit" trainers and there are not many of them on RUclips, you sir are great exception! I just hope you read it :)
He behaves and looks EXACTLY like my 11 month old female GSD! Thanks so much for this, it’s so easy to follow. Do you have to use an e collar? Are there alternatives?
My opinion. ❤ he knows what you want you want, he seems to want to keep his attention on "out of the ordinary " stuff around him. ❤❤ he's very Handsome. 😊😊
Dude I could totally use your help with my German shepherd
Wow! That electronic collar is a great training aid; as is the overturned bowl! I am impressed!
Doggie A.D.D. Is that the same thing as "Selective Deafness"?
Love it. 👌 getting my gsd pup in a few weeks.
Thank you
You think this dog had ADD, then my dog has ADHD 😂.
Mine too 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I have 5 kids 1st son ADD, 2nd 3rd and 4th son ADHD, my 5th child neither phew! me ADHA 😂😂 these are my human kids. Now my Rottweiler son shoo he has ADD and ADHD at times. 🙄🙄🤦🏻♀️
I still think my 4 year old female has ADHD....lol
How many training sessions does a single dog go through each day? Love the channel.
Everyone says my puppers is a well behaved dog. This though! I gotta teach him that!
I love the technical instruction that you guys give us. I always wonder how you make those phone adjustments in a dogs behavior.
I gotta say your channel is an invaluable resource, thank you for sharing all of these. I am a little overwhelmed and having some difficulty in navigating as you have so many videos. Pardon my ignorance, is there a reason you bring the food to your face becore giving it to the dog?
My gsd pup is 14 weeks old. He’s starting to lose his focus on me as him and my collie became close friends. I need to step up the frequency of training him properly but being a full time business owner, it becomes easy to find excuses not to train the dog enough
Be very careful how much time you let your puppy spend with another dog especially without you there. It's impossible for you as a human to compete with another four-legged animal in terms of fun and engagement and interaction. It's okay for them to play a little bit here and there but if they spend 12 hours together and you only spend 30 minutes one-on-one with the dog then you cease to be that interesting for the life of the dog. In other words your dog is bonding with his pack which is the other dog. You will end up just being some guy that comes around and delivers food every once in awhile. I sometimes say that letting your puppy play with another dog is like letting them smoke crack. You then have a crack addict and is very hard to top the dopamine Rush that they get any other way than smoking the crack
@@AmericanStandardK9 well that certainly just reinforced my thought! That’s the last thing I want to happen. I’ve been letting him out of the cage far more because he behaves but they do play a lot. Nobody has ever given me this but of info so thank you 👌🏻👌🏻 it astounds me how many dogs aren’t trained these days, don’t come when called at all. I’m taking pride in my pup and I want him to be a reflection of my own hard work. Thanks again my man
@@CaseyGray58 yes sir. Thank you.
What is the meaning of the gesture ("touching the hat") after the dog is looking at you and before rewarding it with a treat?
Not afraid to treat dogs like dogs… crazy to think that’s the most important part and people forget that. Treat them like you are the superior in a respectful manner and they will obey🤩
Hello! Amazing! Can I ask, when is the best time to train dogs? Is it before meal time or after meal time with an hour rest? TIA!
I need to know this too.
My dog takes about 2 or 3 seconds to lose focus. It's incredibly difficult because she's also high energy so she doesn't just wander off, she takes off and then notices she's far and gets excited and starts running fast in circles and well she's just a nightmare. I have to practice come several times every single day we go out. If I don't practice there will be regression immediately, within 3 days I will see it. She is 3.5 and I have had her since a puppy and I am exhausted. I am an experienced dog owner and there is something with this dog, she seems to genuinely be special needs and I try to remember that and be gentle and kind to her but she has a gold fish brain and it's very hard. I would like to not pay her unless she comes properly but I have to pay her for coming to me even when she flies by (every single f'n time) otherwise her recall within a couple days is so poor it is unsafe. When she does come she will have so much speed she goes another 15 feet before slowing down enough to come back and will do this 1 -3 times before finally coming to me to get the treat. I feel like the dog you have in this video that is so frustrating for you is about 10% of what I deal with. I have considered using an e-collar the way you are, for training, I think it might break through to her more than my voice when she is insane, do you think that could be true? And do you have a training video, or can recommend one, for e-collars?
Wow you explained my GS pup I didn’t realize she has ADD I thought she just didn’t like me lol
The video is great. Thank you for sharing
My 3mos GSD acts just like this. I'd love to give this training a shot. Wasn't planning on an e-collar until he was 5-6 months old. What tool/method would you recommend until then? Thank you.
Eating rocks 😂😂😂 that’s so relatable
Thanks for the tips, I wanted to know what kind of treats do you give the GSD for rewards because I have a 5 month old GSD
Kibble
I just got my service dpg prospect, a 12 week old working line GSD with wonderful drive and disposition, my only issue with her is lack of food motivation and focus, I know she's very young and im trying out a prong inside out to just get used to it, (im experienced with prongs) but i might switch to the prong side so she'll understand that its a correction. But based on this video I might consider e-collars!
Check out our online courses at DIYK9.com We discuss lack of food drive and how to build it in "Obedience 101" which is all food luring, but our "Leashed" course can help when there's no food drive as well.
I understand each dog is different, but curious to know what your primer setting was for Gunny, and then what you bumped it up to after a couple reps and if he took his paws off the plate?
Would think 6:59 proofing a treat throw to maintain the position would be a good way to keep add to obedience. Rather then free at the same time as the treat
i jst noticed another thing to do to get ur dog not to walk away is to walk away urself then call him to eat after standing still and throwing the food farso he kows next time u dont throw a treat he may get better at learning to stay as shadow
So helpful. Thank you
Very useful video, thanks!
I would like to see how to keep dogs from putting their paws on the table. Great videos by the way
What brand E-collar do you use?
Thanks for the video. I have a 5mo old German Shepherd myself and have the exact same issue.
I’m starting to do some off leash training, what E Collar with remote do you recommend
using?
