I have a malinois and he looses focus a lot hes six years old this dec and im trying to be better for him but i dont understand what im doing wrong

See... my struggle is that I am not the boss of my home. My dog has food out 24/7 especially because she doesn't over-eat. And when I train her, she is only willing to do what she already knows and what I teach her with some motivation, but its not a quick reaction (so I think she isn't interested enough in the treat) But I have managed to teach her sit, down, stay, shake, and pretty on my own with just treats... But the bigger hurdles like heel, come, and spin are not easy with her low food drive.. (I've only trained her inside the house because she doesn't react to my commands when she is outside, she's too busy smelling and watching (especially with dogs and my family purposefully getting her attention to bother me when I show her tricks off) Not to mention that I am the only one who is trying to train her to a higher level. she's a good dog but not a motivated working dog (despite german shepherd in her blood, (she's a mix)) My family doesn't keep her to the standards I do and she gets treats and better food (human scraps) for a much easier time, sometimes not even working. any tips ya'll?

David, can I ship my dog to you … from Europe? 😂😂❤️❤️

why shock collar though?

Thank you !

I got perfect luring but when I pull that lure all hell breaks loose. I am going to try this, have not tried the leash pressure yet.

I also like that you stressed that a food reinforcer can help you move the dog into positions you want it in.

I loved the quote: "...give the dog the authority to control its reward". That is the closest statement I have heard to helping people REALLY understand reinforcement training. We aren't trying to control the DOG, dominate the dog, etc. We are making it rewarding for the dog to control its own behavior.

Nice another thing to use my old red cups for. ;-)

As I watch more dog training content, I'm starting to get the impression that dog training is a mastery of gaslighting. You wanna make the dog think they're in charge and it was their idea to do everything you're asking for. And they're in charge of making you give them food/toys.

Bro this channel shoud have millions of subs🎉🎉🎉

Amazing Video !!! You are gifted !

Love the video. I have a question tho. My 9 week old puppy is still getting a raw diet (this is what the breeder fed) and she wont work a lot for treats. Any tips on how to start engagement training with raw food? Or a way to get ur puppy more food driven?

What a deep and thought provoking conversation! God bless you both! Would love to hear more!

I love you, brother! Your thoughtfulness, depth and anticipation of questions is so much appreciated! Thank you for sharing so generously. And your family is such a blessing!

David, you are SO good!! Loved your leading with the definition, all the illustrations, wisdom! So deep and practical! Look forward to watching more and more of your videos!!

was that Eminem but changing of words?

So glad I found this channel!

I watch all the dog trainers for one and a half years now and i must say your content is the best so far. Concise, on point and entertaining. Keep it up! ❤❤

And how long does this process take?

@blackwood canine: i got a 14 months old Mal that had a good food drive which it lost though and who does not have toy drive. He just likes sniffing around and his focus lasts 10 seconds at best. I can lure him to do things with cheese or Hot dogs sometimes, but without he gives a crap. How do i build engagement with him?

How do you go about fading the lure teaching competition heeling?

great video..much enjoyed

Wasn’t expecting this to be a commercial

Omg. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Doggy Yoga, LOL- You are an excellent teacher- and dog trainer ! Thank you fornthe tips!

Great video Brother! Love your Maly !! Its obvious you have a great relationship with your Maly- much more of an emotional, affectionate relationship than I've seen with other trainers- thats what im looking for. I dont want a dog thats a robot and has no freedom or personality- i want my best friend to be fit, be disciplined, behave, but also have a good time! Thanks for your tips- I'm going to watch more of your vids!

Clear and effective instructions. Not many trainers refer to Michael Ellis, definitely a guru! Nice work!

😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊

Good Idea the cup 😊

I'm feeling the vids

I want to know how you teach it

Thank you for saying this. We love our dog. We want what’s best for him. It’s so clear that we aren’t a good fit. We are quiet and calm and easy going. He’s tenacious and feisty and full throttle all the time. We can’t control him on walks or at home. He wants to go go go and we are older. We just can’t. He was a traumatized shelter puppy. When we chose him his personality was very quiet and calm, like us. The shelter mistyped his breed. We thought we were adopting a retriever mix. And that’s ok, I don’t blame them. The shelters are over run. And we fell in love at first sight. We adopted him for his sweet and cuddly demeanor. But, as he got older, his personality changed. We had him dna tested and he’s a terrier and herding breed mix with all those wonderful traits. They really are wonderful traits. He’d make an excellent working dog or active companion in the hands of someone experienced. He’s so smart! He’s just way too much for us. He’s frustrated with us and we are at our wits end with him. Yet, we love him. He gets lots of love and good food. But, there’s more to life than that. He deserves more. And so do we. My heart goes out to anyone in this situation. It is sooo hard. ❤️

I had to rehome a dog that I only got 4 days ago from a nice lady. Ive been goign through a lot of things the past 2 years I thought a dog would lift my spirits but instead it became an EXTREME and immediate source of anxiety. Crippling anxiety that made my brain numb out and I was an emotional wreck. I found a nice home for him, thats almost exactly like the home he came from - single older lady living alone with no pets. Has some young granddaughters and a son living next to her. I feel guilt but also a TON of relief. My 12 year old 'soul' dog died only 3 weeks ago and I made a decision based on reaction rather than rationality. I was grieving for my dog and I incorrectly thought that bringing another dog into my life would relieve that. I realizd my mistake and tried to correct it as best I could. I feel like I did what was best for the dog and for myself. Ill always remember Brody even though I only had him just 4 days. I hope he has a great life with his new family.

I love your videos but you don’t have enough subs…keep going dude you are a great communicator

I expected you to have at least 100k subscribers judging by this vid, the algorithm did good showing me this, youtube needs more of this quality high effort training content :)

How do you get the meat out of the middle, like at the sections?

NOOO way! My dog will not drop her ball for food! I use her food time to train here with chicken beef sausage, treats etc, but she will not fmdrop her ball to eat. Plus she doesn't always finish her food so my other dos finish hers.

Thank you! Definitely your videos need more viewers, this is gold

David, excellent interview thanks for sharing it!!!!!

Great conversation. Thoughtful and practical.

I definitely notice my euro dobie is more motivated with a high value treat like raw meat or dehydrated liver or fish

I definitely use raw meat or dehydrated liver or fish that’s when my dobie boy listens the most

My Doberman is very food motivated but if he picks up a sent especially from a female that’s it he has selective hearing 😂 and won’t come I need to go get him

My problem is I can’t handle the German shepherd and 2 little kids on my own and that’s a problem because either my kids needs aren’t being met or the dogs aren’t being met, my kids are eating hair and have it in the diaper, the dog is knocking them over and when we travel we have to share a room because NOBODY wants to go near a hyperactive not trained dog that isn’t stimulated meaning she will do anything for you to play with her but my partner doesn’t want to let her go, doesn’t want to rehome her and doesn’t help with the kids but now that it’s a problem he wants to help with the dog only😔 I’m considering separating because I cared for the dog and trained the dog and he would mess up the training so when she got big, nibbling on everyone including the kids, jumping on everyone and knocking us over, I told him I was done and he doesn’t seem to care as long as we keep the dog *he works full time over time if he can* we don’t have the time and we haven’t vaccinated her bc we can’t afford it+ we can’t afford proper training. I hate making her wear a prong collar 24/7. It’s meant for training but my partner doesn’t like to be embarrassed by the dog dragging him. Should I just leave him with the dog and I stay with the kids?🤷🏻‍♀️

Cool vid

Thank you YT for directing me to your channel. By far, the most instructive, clear and entertaining dog training video. Thank you for your time and knowledge. I will definitely be following you for more.

Gosh! I have a Mal and have a clicker background. With this new and 1st Mal, I want to explore the collar world. It's such a positive only community where I live. I wish we were closer. Thank you for your videos 😊

GAWWWSHHH!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I WANT TO TRAIN WITH YOU SOOOOOO BAD! PFFFT....LOL😂
