thanks so much (in addition to your impeccable dog-specific advice) for providing guidance on how to speak clearly + concisely to our guests. the addition of these tips is really quite helpful to dog guardians who may struggle with being social with other people in whatever way that might be; sometimes, advice in books or online relies heavily on assuming that dog guardians have access or ability to effortlessly recruit people for socialization/training. your tips to make that process easier adds so much value to your videos, i think! :-)
Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful 🙂 Part of my motivation for making the step-wise tutorial last week was that I have a private client who wanted to be able to send the training steps to their parents 😂 When I got a lot of questions about handling guests I realized how much of a pain point that is for many people. Knowing how to ask for help is NOT always easy (I speak from personal experience haha) so I thought it might be less stressful to request help with a basic script! 🙂
Thank you for this video and your instruction. You’re a gifted and thoughtful teacher. I appreciate the detail-oriented nature of your presentation and the examples that you offer to make your instruction more concrete (e.g., practice making sure your dog doesn’t jump on you at times your dog is most likely to jump on you…taking off your shoes, putting on your coat; practice doing odd behaviors like jumping up and down, jumping in a circle). One question-at the end of this video, you mention that it would be helpful to have a guest come over every day for a couple of weeks to assist with training sessions. If I have the same guest come over day, will that be likely to be useful in terms of allowing my pup to generalize the “no jumping on guest” behaviors or is it critical to have different people come over during this time period? (My next door neighbor would be happy to do this and it would be very convenient but if the exercise will only be useful if we have different guests, I will work on arranging that instead.) Thanks again.
Oh wow, thank you SO much for this comment! Your kindness is very appreciated!! 🙂 Great question. So the "perfect number" of guests can vary by dog, but I find most dogs need the 3-5 different guests to REALLY generalize the concept of not jumping. What I'd suggest if your neighbour is the most convenient: Week 1: Have your neighbour come by daily to help make the not jumping skill solid. Don't worry about any other guests. Week 2-3: Have 1-2 new people come over for just ONE session each following the same rules, and on the days they don't come have your neighbour still come to keep the skill polished. That way it's a nice mix of convenience but still enough variety to make the skill generalized. Hope that makes sense!
This looks great, im going to try this. A few questions though: can the reward come from me instead of my (maybe too slow or badly timed) visitors? If the reward has to come from them, do they also need to use the marker word? Lastly, what if she jumps up when receiving the reward? Should the visitor then ask for a sit after they turned their back?
Great questions! Just in case you haven't seen it, I do suggest following this jumping tutorial (ua-cam.com/video/g6PVdqinCUk/v-deo.html) first with your dog to teach them the basics and THEN incorporate guests into proofing the behaviour. To answer your questions: if you doubt your guests timing you can absolutely stand next to them and do the marking and rewarding yourself 😊 This can also be a helpful way of demoing the process so the guests can then take over the rewarding if/when they get it. And you've got it right: if the dog jumps I'd have them turn their back then cue a sit again afterwards.
@@happyhoundsdogtraining thanks for the answers! I had my first session today with my brother as helper and it went super! She still jumped alot, mostly in the beginning, but then started correcting herself multiple times when trying to jump and withholding, and even giving an occasional sit! Finally looks like I found a forcefree method that works for my "super excited i love people" staffy. Thank you so much!
@@timpanis3481 Amazing!! Thank you for taking the time to let me know 🙂 It really encourages me to make more tutorials with clients when I know these videos are being utilized and are helping!
Yes! Im going to start working on this right away! Do you think it will also help reactivity? I know it wont get rid of it but to me it seems like it would help a bit
The turning/ walking away really works I try to do this every time but my pup takes it to another level by biting. When she is really excited we can not praise her with petting for a long time after because she starts biting instantly or starts jumping again. I am going to practice the sit now. While training I manage her with grandma by holding her collar or keeping on a leash inside.
This may be controversial but as an autistic adult I do think that maybe dogs don't need to be trained out of natural behaviours too much. I do understand that if you have kids or elderly people then it's important but otherwise we should allow dogs to be dogs (like autistic people should be able to be autistic). I don't know if we need to train dogs out of their natural behaviour unless we need them to.
I think the lines of what constitutes a “problem behaviour” for a dog to have are grey. I’d say if your dog’s behaviour doesn’t harm/bother you, your dog, or society, it’s not a “problem behaviour”. That said, I know many people that don’t personally mind if their dog jumps on them BUT they train it still to keep their family or people the dog encounters safe. Dogs typically jump on people because they want attention…. If the dog can still get that attention without needing to jump, I see no issue.
@@happyhoundsdogtraining I agree. I actually like my dogs jumping up, it gives me joy. But I do understand that if there are children or elderly people then it could be problematic behaviour. I feel a bit sensitive about dogs being trained to behave I certain ways because society dictates that that is the best way because as an autistic person I feel 'trained' to behave in certain ways because society dictates too. I think the videos are really incredibly valuable for people who need certain behaviours and I certainly didn't mean to cause offence, I hope I didn't.
Oh, zero offence was taken at all! I genuinely enjoy hearing other perspectives because I know mine isn't the only way. Also, I can relate to what you said in a different sense... I was described as a "difficult" child & some harsh methods were used to "fix" me. I would be against compulsion dog training regardless, but I get particularly annoyed when it's justified for "difficult" dogs due to my own history. I think our experiences can help us empathize & that's important!
You raise an interesting question but If you have a dog (not a wolf) you're already benefiting from millennia of training against their 'nature'. Humans have domesticated dogs by reinforcing desirable behaviours. Dogs literally would not exist without this mechanism. Having manners is just another facet of participating in society.

Yes! Im going to start working on this right away! Do you think it will also help reactivity? I know it wont get rid of it but to me it seems like it would help a bit
Just to confirm- do you mean friendly reactivity? Like your dog is TOO excited to greet people?
@happyhoundsdogtraining yes! She wants to jump and play with everyone and every dog! She actually scared a little girl today trying to jump on her🤦♀️
The turning/ walking away really works I try to do this every time but my pup takes it to another level by biting. When she is really excited we can not praise her with petting for a long time after because she starts biting instantly or starts jumping again. I am going to practice the sit now.

How old is your pup? And yes, management is SO necessary if practicing with elderly or kids ❤
