Nate. Having trained dolphins, sea lions, birds and now dogs for almost 13 years, I love your content. I learn and get a great refresher course every time I watch your videos. THANK YOU!🙏 I would love to work with or for you. Keep up the great work 👍.
What kind of twit plays jokes like that on their dog that he was describing… Sweet little dogs are so trusting … ugh. I'm really starting to have had it up to here with humans… Hopefully most people don't do this. Thank you for explaining this to people Nate. ❤
very important information most mistakes are from these principles ( specially timing ) PS I Purchased your book from Amazon. read it on weekend very good book. simple, understandable useful Thanks Nate
I still don’t understand the beach section could someone be nice enough to maybe dumb it down a bit more for me? I love what he’s saying here but I’m not understanding. I throw the ball and when the dog brings it back that trains the dog to listen to me when I tell her it’s time to leave or signal her too? Overall I’m a bit confused
It's just the concept of predictability. Here's it written out. :) Let's say you love taking your dog to the beach, and this is an activity that your dog enjoys. Every time you’re ready to leave, you call your dog to you (this being the only time you call your dog to you). Eventually, your dog will learn not to come to you when you call because you’ve created a predictable pattern that calling equals leaving the beach, which your dog doesn’t want. Instead, you would always want to play “come when called” games at the beach that predict a release and a reward, like a ball. This way, your dog will enjoy coming to you when called. It's a simple concept: if your dog can predict something, then your dog can learn it, just like obedience. You say the command, and then you show your dog the physical cue. This way, the dog learns that when you say a command, it is then followed by the action that gets the dog into the position. Once the dog knows this, then you no longer need the physical cue, because it is now predictable for your dog.
This is such a great video. Short but with important messages. I got a German shepherd, he is now 5 months and I have started training him since day one by watching all of your videos. Thank you for all the videos, knowledge and contents shared ! However, till today I feel my dog is getting smarter and harder to train than before. Because he is losing interest in me or start to ignore me. After watching this video I realized I am not been consistent and TIMING. Hopefully it’s not too late to correct him and we start fresh and keep consistent ! Also, please have a video on how to train with distraction, or getting your dog’s attention when outside, and recall training. My boy can anything when they are inside but when he is out his ears just shut down. 😂😂
Wanted a dog i could devote myself to. I adopted a male dog without knowing a thing about dogs, or breeds, which made me realize (a bit late into his existence, imo) i had to learn in order to give him the best life possible. 2 years have gone by and i found myself loving doing agility with Luffy, he loves toys which made it even better for me because i don't really like food conditioning training. I have the most pro active dog i could've asked for and he has hunting on his dna which simply helped a TON during specific trainings. I'm becoming a better human, a better man and a better owner because of him and I am looking forward to become a professional trainer and 1% of what u are. I salute you for this type of content which helps me train myself and, hopefuly, do something i love for a living in the future. You are a great example of what we should become as humans. You could charge thousands for what you're showcasing here and yet, you want good dog trainees and good dog owners over profits. I'm aiming to become close to what u are! Thank you once again and may the universe deliver everything you desire!
Nate PLEASE HELP I have an advanced command to ask about. I will be in CATCH training soon, but have been training my service dog. As a project dog I’ll be training a dog for my sister which has had 4 major TBIs. She always looses her car in a parking lot. How do I train a dog to find the car????
@@NateSchoemer That I understand. Lol. Thank you 😊. I’ve really enjoy watching and using your teachings. I’m looking forward to becoming a master trainer like yourself. I start CATCH in a few months ☺️
Love all your videos! Amazing that you share so much of your knowledge on this platform. So many others out there with massive followings really showing poor training, often to get a reaction from a dog which creates views. Good to see someone who knows their stuff and shows honest training without all the BS.
It is actually less than a second. The research shows this. We use one second because human reaction time is slow, 0.5 to 0.75 seconds to understand the situation and then more time to deliver the reward, be it verbal or whatever.
Thank you so much for your videos. I am trying to train a GSD/Malinois as a potential service dog and so many people told me I couldn't do it without punitive training. You have helped us make so much progress! Still a lot to go, but we will get there somehow, once we figure out how to calm down ^-^
Great video. You inspire me and give me the knowledge to properly train my dog. Love your videos. I received your book this weekend. Can't wait to read it! Please know how much your teaching is appreciated! Many thanks with heartfelt gratitude! ❤
Thanks! Not on me, but I'm sure you can find it with a quick google search. Some trainers say 1.3 seconds, but from the science that I read, it was approximately a second, give or take, depending on the dog.
im a simple guy.. i see nate uploading and i press like! Nate by the way i am considering a Giant Schnauzer. i was originally thinking about a german shepherd, but got really interested in Schnauzers.. i love Malis too but they have a tad too much drive. whats your take if i may ask? thanks in advance, and sorry for asking a question you most likely get in the thousands!
I think they can be very nice dogs. I've only trained a few though, so my frame of reference on the breed is rather small. Side note; Tom Rose used a giant schnauzer early in his career for Schutzhund and found a lot of success with the breed! :)
I am in a hard position and need advice. I just “inherited “ two new dogs to my already big brood of three. I have 9 kids at home that add crazy to this mess too. The problem is one new dog doesn’t get along with two of my others.. severe dog fights. How do I fix this?
You need to go hire a good balanced trainer with experience. This is a very complex issue. It won’t be solved by text, on a you tube channel. Sorry for the tuff love, but it’s honest.
9 Kids 5 dogs remind me of my mom (8 kids 6 dogs) you are courageous. Hire a a balanced trainer the dogs might never get along but can tolerate each other . Get proper E-Collar to use with good timing to take the attention of the dog from what bothers it .not as a punishment for starting a fight but mostly as a distraction. If you time it well whenever he shows signs of wanting to start a fight you can condition him to stop getting in that mental state. The stim need to be low and well timed. Get a trainer it's hard to time or read the right cues.
Yes, this sounds like something that may need the help of a local professional. You can start with my basic obedience series as well as my dog training manual. This could help get you started in the right direction. ruclips.net/video/cc8hX4lCGiY/видео.html Manual: amzn.to/2P2tyQH
Thanks guys for your advice. There was one trainer in my area. I took three if the dogs in for an evaluation. He nearly choked two of them to death. I left there defeated. No others locally but I will continue to look nearby
My 2 month puppy somethimes ignores my orders. Like when i say "come" he somethimes doesnt but hes trained, he knows what i said. Is it because hes just 2 months old or do i need to work more woth that?
Keep in mind that dogs will always do whatever is most motivating. This means that in order to have full reliability in your obedience, then you have to always present the most motivating factors to your dog. I would suggest going through the basic obedience series. It's designed to be watched in order and it teaches the science of dog training. :) All available on my RUclips channel. :)
Thank you, Nate! Amazing content as usual. This series is helping me so much, because in 4 weeks i am getting my American Akita baby. God bless you! And if i am not mistaken, you were a marine, right? If so, thank you for your service! Peace from Romania
So do you think that no matter how well a dog is trained if the rabbit is the most motivating he will never be able to not chase it? Or can you work your way up to that?
You should be able to work your way to it. Counter conditioning, the rabbit is a stimuli and just introduce your dog to it, slowly and reward when they give a behavior that you accept. Add distance if the stimuli is too much and reactivity increases, decrease as behavior increases. Its just using the different operant conditioning zones.
For my dog (Malinois), Wild Rabbit's were a very high motivation to chase, until she learned that I was more fun (whenever she would run after a rabbit I would run away and scream/laugh, making her turn and chase me instead, which she loved). We have a lot of Wild Rabbits over here and I have her off leash during night time when we walk, she can see a rabbit and she will immediately return so my side and signal that the creature is there, it can then leave without her chasing and we either play Tug or we cuddle or play a game of chase because that's her highest reward for us ^^. You can train up to you being the highest Motivation instead of the rabbit, but it takes a lot of practice, for us it took around 1.5 years of constant repitition and training ^^
If your dog is practicing a behavior that is fun (self-reinforcing behavior), then you have two options to stop this. One; make sure to prevent the dog from being able to practice the undesired behavior. The second option is to use a correction to stop the behavior. A correction can be anything the dog doesn't like. So in the end, the motivation not to receive the correction must override the motivation to do the undesired behavior. If you use a correction and the undesired behavior continues, then the correction is not high enough. Here's an analogy to help understand this concept. It's important to remember that every dog has their bank account (their correction level). Some dogs are very wealthy, and some are penniless, just like people. Let's say that you are speeding down the highway and a police officer pulls you over and writes you a 25 cent-speeding ticket. The second the officer leaves, you will start speeding again because the ticket wasn't high enough to get you to change your behavior. But let's say he pulls you over and writes you a ten-million-dollar speeding ticket, now it's so high that you will avoid driving altogether, and you will be very stressed out. On the other hand, let's say he pulls you over and writes you a $125 speeding ticket. That would be enough to get you to slow down, without causing you to avoid the behavior of driving altogether. This is what we must do with our dogs; we need to correct them at a level that is adequate to their bank account. If the dog doesn't stop the bad behavior, then you may have to increase the correction. Just be sure to correct the dog in the act. In addition, proper corrections should not create a fearful dog. Usually fear when correcting a dog is due to the owner being angry, yelling at the dog, or correcting too hard. When we use a correction, it's simple cause and effect. A correction should never be personal and you should never yell at your dog. Once the correction is done, then we praise and reward our dog when they're doing what we like. If your dog knows why he/she is being corrected and knows how to prevent the correction from happening, then you shouldn't create any fear. Leash pop: This is when you make a snapping motion with the dog’s leash to engage the training-collar to give the dog a correction (a positive-punishment). If you're using a flat collar and that's not working, then you may need to use a prong collar to stop the behavior. I hope this helps!
Hi I have a question for you I have a 5 month old Pitbull Cane Corso mix he's very smart we train every day I do it exactly the way I've learned from you he's also very sweet but I'm having one problem he has an issue with little kids he growls and Barks and jumps at their face can't figure out why and I have kids in my house I was thinking that it all stemmed from him leaving his mother and littermates so young I got him at 3 weeks old it takes a long time for him to warm up to new people he still has a problem with that and other dogs but I finally got him over that would love to hear your thoughts
I would have to see it to know what would be the best course of action. However, regardless of why the dog is doing it, I would stop it. Either by redirecting the dog to the climb command or even correcting the dog. If you send me an email, I'll send you a copy of my dog training manual. I think it would prove to be helpful. Cheers! NateSchoemer@gmail.com
Thanks! I always follow the same process with each dog that I train. In regard to the science part, keep in mind that when you are training your dog the science is always the same; what varies between each dog are things like motivation, perseverance, intelligence, temperament, disposition, etc. Being able to adjust for each dog’s specific needs is considered the art of dog training. Because of this, not all techniques work on all dogs; and as a result, you have to be able to adjust accordingly. For example; a dog with a very high level of perseverance will continue to work through a difficult task to get a reward-while other dogs may give up early. I explain all of this in detail in my dog training manual available here: amzn.to/2P2tyQH I hope this helps and thanks for the support. Cheers!
