For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
@NateSchoemer Hi Nate, I reached out to you via Messenger a couple of months ago. I got a standard reply saying you could be contacted via email, but despite sending you an email I have not received a reply.
Thank You Nate for making these training videos I have a 10 week old GSD that is very bold Your training method will be a great help with him I’m going to give it my best effort I can’t believe these videos are free I have viewed many different trainer’s videos Nate you are at the top of the group 👍
As usual, Nate, you produced a fabulous training video for the young puppy learning to lure. Although I would also say this is great information for the older pup or dog who hasn't been taught to lure or the new handler who is unfamiliar with this marvelous technique. When watching this tape, there is no doubt Maverick is absolutely invested and enjoying himself.
Thanks a lot! You're absolutely right. This info isn't just for the youngsters; older pups and even new handlers who haven't tried luring before can really benefit from it. Seeing Maverick so into it just proves any dog can start picking up new behaviors at any age by following a lure. I'm glad you see the value in it too!
I just got my two German Shepherd puppies yesterday! Will be training them using Nate’s methods!!!! I have a 4 year old Australian cattle dog that I trained using Nate’s methods and he is unbelievably skilled. Thank you Nate!
Hey I would suggest looking at look up some litter mate syndrome videos as it will help you raise two puppies similar in age/actual litter mates! I wish you luck, I really hope it goes well for you all 💕
Your energy and love for dogs really shows through your videos! I've watched your basic obedience series already but this coming series is going to be so useful for my puppy coming in a few weeks. Your content is really appreciated and going to make such a big difference in my life!
By far the best video I have ever watched about puppy training. I've been struggling with my 14 week old golden retriever but things changed dramatically after watching this video. Even showed my wife and she is more excited to train our Gala now. I wish you could follow up on this video and make it a whole series. That puppy's little marching is so adorable by the way LOL
Thanks! Yes, I plan on training this puppy in basic through advanced obedience, including foundational protection, scent detection, and service dog training. I'm probably going to include some basic tracking and trick training as well. This should be a really fun series. The only reason why I haven't posted an episode this week is that I've been sick with the flu and a chronic cough. Hopefully, I'll be back on track by next week.
Awesome. Yes, I plan on showing the entire process with this pup. The goal is basic through advanced obedience, including off-leash. Protection training, scent detection, trick training, service dog training, tracking, agility, and possibly search and rescue. 😁
Thank you Nate! I’m so glad I found someone that doesn’t use prong collars for training (they are illegal in Australia for obvious reasons). I look forward to using your methods to train my new GSD
Just wondering what it is you have against prong collars and the use of them when used correctly and a professional prong is used instead of a cheap cheap
I have an almost 9 week old german shepherd and I've started working on this but he bites my had a lot to get the treat instead of walking while licking/smelling the treat. He is walking and biting. I've tried to guide him for shorter bits and that seems to be better instead of prolonging the treat. We just started this today. He is doing well with sit and down so far and working on leave it.
Hi! How old is the puppy in this video? And which treats do you use? My puppy treats are so tiny it's hard to hold in the way you described... Thanks in advance!
Great video! I have a Labrador puppy and your videos and book on dog training and obedience has been a fantastic resource 😊 Trying to learn more about shaping to teach her to be proactive and get her thinking for herself. Do you have any good book suggestions on that subject?
Thanks! I can't think of a book that specifically focuses on that topic, but implementing free-shaping, capturing, and reinforcing with leash pressure (which removes the treat from the dog's sight but still achieves the behavior) can greatly help in creating a proactive dog. Also, consider researching Michael Ellis, as he has some great videos discussing this topic. I would also suggest checking out this article, as it provides a lot of information on different dog training methods: www.nateschoemer.com/post/how-to-choose-the-perfect-dog-training-method-for-your-pup
Love this!!!! So glad I stumbled across your work. Planning on getting a new pup in the next 6-12m. I'm a fan of your content and style. Do you believe in training the dogs prior to feeding so they are hungry and have more of a food drive/motivation? Thanks
Thanks! New episodes in this series should be coming soon. When I first start training a dog, I use their meal for the training. I don’t feed puppies out of a bowl. They work for every bite of food. 😁
@@NateSchoemerhey, I have heard to make a dog train for every piece of kibble, and I have heard to do training sessions in 5 minute intervals. How can I get him to train for every little piece of food when I am feeding him a half a cup of kibble three times a day? Thank you so much for your awesome content!
Hi Nate, Will this be a basic obedience series ? I have already watched the previous series you have released, but based on the content of this video i was wondering if this is gonna be for service dogs and advanced training or for pet dogs. Do we need to start so many movements from day 1? will you show throughout the series how to deal with other puppy issues (crate training, potty training and behavior issues)? How many sessions do you think are on average enough for a dog to be ok with the basics?
Great video! I am preparing to train my 10 month old GSD Lab mix. She knows basic commands, sit, stay, down, ext, but I would like to work with her on some more consistent obedience. Is this method/course playlist applicable to older puppies or is there a better method for her age? Thank you!
Thanks! Yeah, Bethany and Oscar are excellent. I hope to have them both back sometime in the near future. I also may have a guest appearance by Nino from STSK9. He’s easily one of the best out there as well! 😁
Excellent video! If I may ask what type of training treat were you using or some that you recommend? I know sometimes it can be tuff finding the right size and tenderness. Are you letting pup nibble on it while moving then releasing what is left? Thank you so much looking forward to watching more.
I love your trainingvideos! Do youve got tips for working with a much much smaller dog eg a chihuahua mix? Also she's not very food driven and withholding food to make her more motivated doesnt seem right. Any tips will be much appreciated:)
Hey Nate, I have an 11 week old German Shepherd puppy and have been studying your videos and love them. At what point should I introduce marker words or verbal commands? Thanks!
Thanks! I currently offer the Virtual Canine Coaching program, a comprehensive certified dog trainer course available on my website. Building on this foundation, I am developing an even more in-depth course for those aspiring to become certified professional dog trainers.

Hi Nate. We soon will be getting our new German Shepherd puppy in about a month. Your training is amazing and I just have 1 question. Why do you not use verbal commands in the beginning, and at what age do you start to use verbal commands?
Love your training methods! My German shepherd learned very quickly and any faults in his training are definitely due to me and not him! I was wondering if anyone in these comments had tips on getting your dog to drop and leave a ball. My dog definitely knows the command "drop it" but he tends to just drop it, catch it on the bounce then sit there with it in his mouth and give me the puppy eyes, and the "what are you gonna do about it, I technically dropped it" look. He has sometimes accidentally gotten my leg or foot by doing this and catching the ball against my leg, and while I'm fine and everything, it would be nice if he would just drop it. I've tried treats and I have a e-collar which he responds to, but its tricky when he does the right thing by dropping it, then picking it up before I can reward him for the drop. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I use two exact balls, when she drops it I play with the other ball so her attention isn’t on the ball on the ground. Throw ball pick up the ball on the ground and repeat eventually it clicks. Same with tug toys.
6:03 hi from Australia. Did it take a while for the puppy to get the gist of this? My puppy is struggling to understand what it is I want him to do. Or is it me?
I started training him at 8 weeks of age. I like to begin once the puppy is comfortable in its new environment and starting to show signs of interest in training. This ensures that they develop a strong, positive association with training. :)
Good evening I have a question, please. I have a German Shepherd dog who is one year and ten days old and still has not had her first period. What should I do and what do you advise me?
Wait 6 months, if she still doesn’t go into heat you might wanna get her checked at the vet (an echo to see if there’s any problems with the reproductive system) and neuter if necessary
Hi, my name is Adam I Just got a puppy. She is 5 months and a beagle Our household is interested in training her. But we are all different degrees of low vision with me being Blind I spend the most time with her. And I Need some suggestions on how to go about training. If I cannot feed the dog. Cannot see the dog. If I use a Retractable leash I can kind of get a sense of her.
Hey. I am currently working on my dogs tuck sit and fold back down. It looks like in the video the pup sometimes does a tuck sit or fold down when lured but also does some rock back sits and drop downs. Do you have a preference later for one way or the other for this little pup to get into position? Will you be working on one of these methods for a sit or down position in later sessions? If so how? I have been told by other trainers online to start a tuck sit and fold back down day one to make it easier for the dog. Do you have a different opinion on this topic. I am really just curious for your input because this is something me and my mal mix (Willow) are working on for her formal French OB. She has no requirement for a special sit or down for regular English OB.
I personally don't care what kind of sit or down the dog performs, as long as they end up in the correct position. I've heard top competitors intentionally teach a tuck sit, while others intentionally teach a rocking sit. Advocates for the tuck sit claim it results in a better heel position and prevents the dog from rocking out of position. However, if the dog knows the final position relative to the human, it shouldn't be an issue. Trainers favoring the rocking sit say it makes the sit-in-motion exercise look much sharper. Both perspectives can be true. My main focus is on speed and the dog finishing in the correct position relative to me, whether that's a heel position or the sit-front position. I would suggest doing what you think looks best and makes you happy, but don't over-stress it and let the training lose its fun, which I've seen other trainers do when they get mad at their dog for not performing a tuck sit. I hope that helps and makes sense.
lol! I would only worry about moving around as much as I do if you have a high-drive dog and you want the dog to move fast. If speed isn’t a concern, just performance of commands, then you don’t have to worry about moving around as much. I’ll admit, it does get tiring. Good workout though. 😁
@@NateSchoemer enjoyed is an understatement I just wanna confirm you said I should be doing the training three times a day for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes making it fun, right? It’s all about encouragement and confidence
If this happens, I usually stop the session and try again later. During the main training, I have the dogs work for all their food. So, if we pause a session, it serves as a form of negative punishment. This means I don’t provide any food between sessions, increasing their motivation and desire to re-engage during training. I hope this helps! Cheers! Nate
With this puppy, I'm aiming for 3-5 training sessions per day, each lasting about 5 minutes. I'm using freeze-dried dog food during these sessions, making his training time his mealtime. He's working for all his food. If you're managing to get in 1-3 sessions per day, then you're doing more than most people. :)
@@NateSchoemer can you point us to the specific food you're using? I have a hard time training with kibble due to the size of each piece. This looks very manageable.
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
Yes! :)
