My new puppy looks at food like food is a new invention....
Awe :)
🥲 i can understand
This is a video I needed 2 years ago when I first got my pup. He was sooooo excited for food, my arm would be covered in scratches. Hope it helps other people out.
I tried capturing the calmness with my dog, but the thing is that if I so much as hold a treat my dog will go bouncy and excited. So I cannot capture the calmness while he's awake. I had to reward him when he fell asleep.
Guess what happened?!
He started recognizing this pattern of rewards. So he lay down, put his head down on the floor, he started SNORING and then he lifted his head to get my attention so that he could get his reward. This taught my dog to fake snore and fake sleep!! He is too funny!! 😂😂
The correct level of arousal and how to get it. Thanks for spelling out the link between those tutorials. We use so much of your techniques.
Awesome video as always !! I love how you have almost every video that a pup owner needs !!
Hi Emily, I love all your videos, I think you have the most precise, understandable and detailed training tips on UA-cam! (And I watch a lot of UA-cam dog training channels!) I would especially like to thank you for this video and the others linked to it as I realised that so much of my dog's issue with learning is because she is over-aroused by the food. She is very bright and loves training but it can often take her so much longer than it should because she's not even thinking straight (even if it's her own boring kibble). I will try these tips out and let you know how we get on :)
This is EXACTLY what is happening with my dog! I’ve been trying to reward him for calm times but giving the treat makes he all hyped up!!! So tricky! Lots of GREAT tips here! Thank you! SLow treat delivery will be my new skill to use!
I love your advice about slow treats delivery. I didn't realize that fast movement is natural to us(people). I'll keep it in mind.
Well Im not sure ALL people, but most people move pretty fast, unless they have a fearful dog and they have learned to move slowly because every time they move fast their dog gets scared.
This is what I need! My girl, Valentine, has always been food driven but she's on steroids just now. Oh my!! She is pretty good but I've learned a lot from this video to help her dial it down. Thanks 🐕🐕💕💕
Yet another great training video. The explanations make so much sense. I like how you break things down so they are easy to understand. Many times I have suggested this channel to people for them to learn dog training. Thank you, and also for the links.
Thanks!
Lovely video. The joy of making dog training videos and sharing your amazing knowledge is apparent in your facial expressions. Thank you🙂
Awe thanks!
Great advice, very much needed, thanks!
My Tervuren is becoming more excited about treats, so this is very helpful!
He starts to paw at my arm and bark/whine if he doesn't get the treat right away, but if I use a lower value treat he usually can't keep his focus in training sessions.
Oddly enough he is much more attentive outside than inside.
Oh Tug is soooo lovely!
By the time I am ready to get a dog, you will have done a great job in training me!
thanks :)
I wish more people where like you and put in the time to train themselves before getting a dog. So many less dogs would wind up in shelters then. You're doing a great job as a dog parent already, kudos and thanks!
@@imzadi83fanvids7 there absolutely needs to be human school for dog training before people get dogs. If we are required to get driver's licenses we should be required to learn how to raise a living being. (I, ike Ron, am practicing for when I get my dog, and my world is rocked by the videos!)
@@jeffkoons001 I have health issues right now, but if I ever get better I'd love to be a dog trainer. And I would like to come up with some kind of pre pet class to offer. I could create a plan for owners and use shelter/rescue dogs to help people learn how to train the basics they need to know before they bring their dog home.
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Oh thank you! That’s exactly the info I needed
Absolutely amazing
I used to think my dog didn't like me but now I know it's true. Biscuit rolling his eyes at me when I tried to give him a treat was the confirmation.
Much appreciated 🥰
My dad recently got a dog and I don't think I have ever needed a video as much as this one. The old fartbag is 10 years old and the sweetest dog I have ever seen, but he will NOT. CALM. DOWN. the second he suspects there's something edible. He eats freaking TISSUES when he finds them outside, and while he doesn't ever try to take our food he will not move away for as long as it's there. Anyway, I'll watch this and show it to my father. Thanks for uploading, Emily!
Lol, I thought you were calling your dad an old Fartbag! Awe, bless his soul he's a foodie. :) Loves his snackies :) I bet he will be easy to train to come when called, if you can ever get him to move away from you when off leash.
This conversation was funny all the way around. Thanks for the laughs!
Oh, he is, but the dog is certainly a bigger one :P someone once said that Robby (the dog) opens the portal to hell with his farts. I can't disagree. Luckily it's happening less now, haha. And he absolutely adores my dad and will follow him anywhere... unless there's food, of course. @@kikopup
@@Here_Today_ Yes, I needed a good laugh too!
@@CH-or4fe Omg. Haha. Im not a vet, but sometimes changing diet and reducing stress can help with that "portal to hell" problem. So hopefully it will reduce in time.
Brava..molto brava👍
Haha, I love that thumbnail!
Thanks! That is actually a pic of my terrier doing the trick "roll over" - as you can see, he DOES get over-excited by food and training at times
Capturing Calmness has been impossible for me and my dog because she won’t eat low value treats and she becomes very alert when I walk towards her. She always pops up of I come close. She’s always whining for food. Any tips if we can’t even get step one accomplished?
Hi, love your videos. I didn't see in the video that you linked in, the exact protocol for this. Is this something one does all day, throughout the day? And, is it in addition to teaching the dog to relaxed whilst on leash? How would you do this to teach a dog to relax in the presence of her favorite fetch toy?
So cute, love the kissy part. As I watched here at the dining table I did just what you were doing rewarding them quietly sitting or on down and they have done so well. Even my little Mini Fox Terrier who is easily aroused and newer to training. Keep sharing, blessings.
Awe that's awesome!
Thanks for this video hyper arousal is a difficult period and most just suggest long walks. I will definitely slow down and issue treats slowly to calm him down. Simple but effective.
there is this article on a slightly different topic not sure its your issue dogmantics.com/too-much-of-a-good-thing-are-the-activities-your-dog-loves-doing-making-him-sick/
@@kikopup hi thanks for taking the time to reply. It's not the same issue as such but always useful to learn more. My issue is that twice a day my pup gets into a state of hyper arousal. We have tried exercise and no exercise before the anticipated event and it still happens. Fortunately the bouts now don't last very long, so we can manage them, but it is an issue for new owners as most other trainers just suggest tiring out the dog which can have the opposite effect.
Your dogs are so cute! How do you teach them to be comfortable with each other around the food? They are so chill and cuddling together. My Sheltie gets super aroused and upset when I train my other dog with food because she wants the food I'm giving my other dog.
My rescue puppy (14 weeks old) is very excited by food - constantly scavenging around kitchen for scraps etc. even after he has eaten. One thing I was wondering though - we were advised to do training sessions with him at mealtimes, so basically gets his daily food allowance hand fed to him via basic obedience training or when training out on walks. But he is in quite an aroused state for these training session as a result - he doesn’t vocalise but he will do things like cycle through different behaviours trying to guess which one I want him to do 😂 and he runs / dives into his crate as thats where we feed him / train him. Everything is done very quickly and excitedly because he wants the food so badly!
After watching all your videos around calmness, I’m wondering if this is something we should maybe stop doing? He loves food so much, I would imagine he would be just as excited about his kibble even if it wasn’t mealtime though. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for this my puppy is going mental for the food and this will really help. Thanks
You are welcome! Reminds me that I also forgot to mention, that if you change up what treats you use all the time, it habituates them to novelty. Because if you only use the same treats, your dog can start to become excited by food they dont ever get. I always switch the treats I use, so my dogs dont get over excited by it.
Lol that’s exactly like my dog and she starts drooling😂 she knows to sit for a treat but doesn’t understand the word no matter how much we try to teach her and try to ween treats off. She will NOT sit if she doesn’t see food
This is what I need!! Thank you!! It's impossible/very difficult to teach my dog anything new lately because he loves food SOOOOO much. And my treat bag is a huge distraction for any behavior I try to capture.
I would love to see a video explaining briefly all the behaviors we should capture with puppies. My puppy was sooooo good when i first brought him home, and I tried to capture as much as I could, but I missed a lot of good "capture" opportunities. He's my first dog and I'm still learning new things as I go.
Also...any advice for intact male behavior? Can I tell him to "leave it" every time he tries to hump my leg (lol) ?
sometimes humping can be because of being excited about something else or anxiety but regardless you should quickly interrupt and redirect to another behavior.
This is exactly the information I need. I have a food-obsessed golden retriever from China who literally jumps out of his skin with excitement at mealtime. I do feed him frozen from a slow feeder bowl. He will sit and wait until I say "Okay" for his food, but meal prep time is frustrating (for me) as he has an obnoxious, screeching demand bark and will use it repeatedly and obsessively until he gets the food. As I'm walking him into the room where he's fed, he is on 2 feet jumping and spinning scratching walls, etc. He can't contain his excitement. Would this work for something like that? I got him in June 2019. He was super shut down for the first month but has done really well since.
I suggest getting a bunch of bowls and prepping the food when someone walks him. Then whenever he is calm and relaxing in the house get the bowl out and put it in front of him. I wouldnt give a release cue because that can build anticipation. You could say something in a very calm relaxing voice I suppose but not "Ok!" Another thing you can do is while hes eating low value food, walk back and forth and drop a high value treat next to the bowl. This can help slow down the eating as teh dog will hopefully stop eating to look at you for the treat. And then hopefully not eat as frantically
My dog isn’t sitting like yours, my dog is can’t stop moving around and sniffing, where the food could be😂😂
Thank you for this video, Emily! I adopted an older Border Collie while here in Kuwait and have been trying to work on her food arousal issues. She was living on the streets for a while before she was rescued, so obviously food is a major reinforcer for her. She is mellow the majority of the time but becomes hypervigilant even if there was food present previously in/near the room and she smells it. I hand-feed her frequently throughout the day so she knows where her meals come from and roughly when she'll be fed, but it doesn't seem to be helping as much as I thought it would. I'm hesitant to try using a calm settle technique as I fear this could make her more worked up about random food delivery. She can be taking a nap and will get so worked up after a reward or two that she starts crying. Do you have any tips that may be able to help? Brilliant videos, as always!
You could try finding some extremely low value food. Like small pieces of carrot, cooked broccoli. As well as working after her meals.
This happened to me!! Would kibble be a good start for a low value treat ?
I know you posted this 2 years ago, but it's super helpful. BUT for almost desensitising the dog to food; I have a dog who is super resource guardy with food and a rescue who is SUPER excited. Not sure walking around with kibble/treats on me is the best idea to get my rescue to calm down while my other dog is around. I can do short bursts while the guarder is crated but not all day/every day. Any other suggestions?
I literally have to sneak up on my 8 year old Boston Terrier to give her a low value treat (kibble) when she's settling. Even if I'm successful she immediately leaves her settle and stands... Someone tell me this will change over time.
My dogs from a kill shelter from a third world country and was severely malnourished and always had to "fight" for food.
He can sit down and wait to get his treat or food but I have to use a slow feeder because he will throw up his food if he eats from a normal bowl. No matter how long I wait before giving him food he doesnt calm down.
It even affects my other dog who actually had a hard time being motivated to eat. I feed them in seperated rooms and they NEVER leave food. He still checks EVERYTIME if the other one left something.
Learning new behaviours is impossible with food and as soon as we see my friend who uses cheese and sausages as treats when we walk I get COMPLETELY ignored since I don't use high value treats or any treats at all since his behaviour just gets more and more anxious.
will this help with my dog who whines whenever I bring treats out?
Awesome! This is my puppy 😅 he goes from 0 to 100 so fast! Anytime we try to train he starts spinning and barking and while it’s adorable... it’s incredibly hard to get him to focus! I will try these :)
Also what are some low value treats? Unfortunately ANY type of food is exciting for a Vallhund...
That can only be decided by your dog.
What are the foods that he will eat unless there's something more exciting happening?
As an example my girl will learn new behaviours with kibble but if I have kibble on me when out and about its unlikely she would want to focus on me.
@@danielleroberson8735 Low value may be something the pup desires less, but still desires: so my dogs love cheese so for low value I may use a frozen pea, which they like but not love and I make sure they get their veggies and not too many smell chesse farts.. I try tiny things as they can fill fast when we train. When they have a good training lesson I use a jackpot or handful at the end so they know eventually after quite some time that they need to listen and keep doing until it is time for the grand finale of treats and I always place it down so they stay in one relative spot while eating it up without grabbing anyone elses food, I have 2 dogs currently. It does take lots of time especially with puppies but think small and lots of success is the goal. After quite some time then combine some tricks, so maybe sit for treat, then sit and lay down for the treat. It helps to get them to focus in different directions with their body. Emily has wonderful videos on how to get your dog to hold and wait, try some of them, and love the puppy they do grow up too too fast. Emily has good lessons, and I rewatch her videos they help me with the dogs and people-lol. I have decades of training dogs but since I am training my service dog and wanted more positive and detailed training I found with Emily and some others like her that this positive approach gives far better and more reliable results. It is great the pup is food oriented so you can transfer that skill to use in training and also try toys. Again check out Emily's other videos. Prayers to you and your pup with lots of blessings.
@@danielleroberson8735 It depends on the dog, but often times the low value treat is the food he eats for his meal.
@@analarson2920 thanks for adding all the tips!
my shi ztu is a glutin, when we put her food down (16 bigger kibbles 2 times a day) she starts to shake, then she usually inhales the food basically she may only chew once. so we hand feed, but she just gets all the more worked up with the shaking.
lately I would hold a couch pillow upright between her and the food so she can't see it, she is a bit more relaxed, however she still takes the food and it's like she wants to eat it fast, we say "chew your food" etc and she is pretty ok with chewing but there are the times she chews once then swallows.
when we got her she was a year old and it was our first dog so we really didn't know much about training she's now 9 and an old granny sometimes it's kinda a bit harder. but she's still like a young dog most of the time
Our other dog (bigger, a mix between jackrussel+terroir (dad) Newfoundland+something else (mom) we got as a puppy 3 years ago, she's good with food and we of course did training.
I'm not sure what I can do to relax her while feeding or giving any sort of treats. I tried holding her and rubbing her back but if there is food she doesn't like to be like that for long she will try to look where the foods at and wiggle out. she is a monkey.
It makes it hard that she has only 16 kibbles to eat... one exercise I plan to make into a video on yt, but havent had time. Is that you give them their food, then walk past and drop higher value treats next to the bowl, so they stop eating to get the treat you are dropping, and after a few repetitions stop eating the food to look at you approach with the higher value treat. By doing this it makes the dog not as excited by the food they are eating and so then after time start to eat slower.
Dog Training by Kikopup well the vets wanted us to only be feeding her twice a day on a special diet food for the last 7 years id say, and when we last were there my mom mentioned the amount and they said that that's a good amount for her size, (she's a tad over Wight).
she could eat all day if she was able too.
Dog Training by Kikopup I should have worded my fist Comment different, because she does chew but it's like she's in a bit of a hurry
IMO, presents of the food or treat can cause stress and anxiety in most dogs which leads to excitement. Would you suggest trying or figuring out if the dog is able to get motivated without food or treats to do anything before introducing any food at first?
I agree dogs can get stressed and anxious about any reinforcer that is "withheld". The trainer can cause frustration, anxiety, and even aggression by not breaking up training steps small enough as well as the criteria being too high. Yes, I believe with all reinforcers the animal should be conditioned so that they are not feeling over aroused and anxious by just the presence of it. I also think its important to learn to read dogs for signs of stress and anxiety. I feel like some trainers actually think their dog is having "fun" when they are acting over aroused whining and barking at them, when to me the dog looks frustrated and anxious.
@@kikopup These are great points. I will make sure to share these points with my students.
Zero dislike!
Ah, well, I do have some trolls that dislike my videos as soon as they come out before they would even have time to watch them. So those people might have been asleep or sick or missed this one :)
@@kikopup i hope they stay asleep
My problem is that my latest rescue has learned to sit and wait for me to say “OK” before going to his bowl to ear but the rest of the time is very hyper. He scratches the wood doors outside to get inside or pushes very hard against them,sometimes they even open under his weight. If I put him outside, he either whines and barks incessantly or goes to the neighbor’s fence and when their dog is outside (very bravo with all but his human family) they really go at one another through the fence, and I have to bring g OZZI, a large Mexican Xoloitzcuintle hairless dog,inside. Inside, he wants to be around me all the time, and with nine other rescues this is impossible. Help, help!
I was hoping this video would address what to do if you have a dog that tries to snap your fingers off when taking treats. I learned the hard way that our dog, Pugs, who is 14+ years old, loves to do this (we think that he may have some problems with his eyesight since he can't see very well in the dark and often looks in the wrong direction when we call to him).
I figured out that I have to feed Pugs like a horse--placing a treat in the middle of my palm and then putting it at eye level. When I do this, he is able to eat the treat and I don't get my finger chomped 🐶🤣
But what do you do when all food is high value?
idk if ur still replying but my dog is 7 and ive just began clicker training her and i cant find food she doesnt absolutely love. even her every day kibble she goes crazy for and when im training her she gets very frustrated and even if were just doing simple targeting she will bark if i dont click if she doesnt completely touch the target and hit me with her paws and start offering other behaviors ive taught her and im stuck. i want to do our training in a calm relaxed way but i dont know what to do...
Have you tried training after the meals? Also, the "calm settle" video might prove valuable for you.
will this still work if we have had her for a couple months and didn't know about this? shes extremely aroused by food and now im panicking that we have set her up for disaster by not doing this initially 💔💔💔
she is a 4 month old golden retriever
Would love to learn how to teach my dog to eat slowly if there’s already a video! 😊
I havent made a video on this yet, but what I do is walk past the bowl with higher value treats and drop one outside the bowl, after some repetition of doing this during meals the dog starts to look up from the bowl to get the higher value treat, what this can do is reduce the excitement and speed of eating and sometimes just a few training sessions can get rid of the problem of wolfing it down.
@@kikopup AMAZING thank you so much for this, I will try this ASAP! Have binge watched the majority of your videos, and love them all. You’re a god send! 🙏🏽😊😊
Do you have videos of capturing calmness with zoomies
“When you see your dog is relaxed” what if my puppy is never relaxed. I have never seen her relaxed outside of her crate…. Ever 😢
Sometimes they can learn that the crate is for sleeping and being out is about being up. I suggest attach the crate to a pen when you are not watching her that way she learns to play and then relax after not just play constantly when let out of a crate.
What if your dog is never calm?
My dog would just jump of the wall after capturing the calmness. I'm just a possible walking food dispenser, even if I don't give in and reward bad behavior he cannot correlate reward for calmness.
That dog is already mentally stable tho? My dog is mentally fcked he’s a rescue
Tug is also a rescue that had been trained using Cesar Milan methods before I got him and had chronic pain so would become aggressive. But yeah his over excitement and lack of impulse control was something we did brush up training sessions on for life. Now he’s 14
Respectfully a different perspective - Feeding dogs "treats" like this person advocates is a big mistake from my perspective. It gets the dog constantly looking for treats, thinking of you as a "treat dispenser". A dog should feel about its owner as it does an alpha dog in a natural pack situation, there should be respect first and of course love. Snuffling around for treats all the time is a distraction from lessons the dog should be learning. A kind word should be all the treat your dog needs. Then the dog will be working for you our of respect, love and hopefully a love of doing a good job, rather than for a bribe.
Well, one could argue making the dog work for his food is more in line with that theory than presenting large bowls of food for him for doing nothing. The reason I train as I do is due to the science of learning, you don’t have to use food you could make anything a reinforcer like access to other dogs or people or the environment. Food is convenient especially for things like physical therapy fitness and learning complex behaviors. Food and toys are used to teach amazing behaviors such as teaching bomb detection dogs.
