can i just say, i never comment, but i have been watching for years and i don’t know what it is about this moment but i have so much to thank this wonderful human being for sharing your love for dog training and positive reinforcement, it became my hobby but has ultimately helped my mental health tremendously, thank you ❤
I'm a shelter worker trying to make some of our dogs more adoptable and your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much because I hate aversive techniques and love positive reinforcement. You show it's possible with positivity. 🙏
Thank you for the work you're doing!! I recently started a passion project where I go to a local shelter and make videos of the dogs and post them on social media to hopefully help get the word out and help them get adopted. There are SO MANY sweet babies out there who just need a chance. The likelihood of finding a perfectly trained dog anywhere isn't great, but they just need to be given the chance to learn. I taught one puppy to sit in under 10 minutes while filming. These dogs are so smart 🥺 What you're doing is awesome! 💕
@@RachelKay528 Thanks so much for your help too! Social media is fantastic way of getting the word out, it also really brings out a dog's true personality since they can be scared or reactive in their kennels. And yes they are super smart. My first dog I helped train was adopted today fingers crossed it works out as he struggles with dog reactivity. But I taught him sit, down, stay, come, paw, place, and he was learning spin, back up, and look at me before he left. He learned all this pretty solidly in only about two and a half weeks! He was a young Pittie mix, now I'm trying a more challenging 5 year old Border Collie mix, he knows 0 commands as of right now but I hope to change that very soon. 😊
@@lizlozange7107 aww you taught that baby so many useful things! I hope it works out too. Dog reactivity is definitely a tough one to fix, but it can be done with lots of consistent training by the dog's family 🥰 Good luck with the border collie! Sounds like you're a great trainer, so I'm sure you can do it! 😊
listen.... i know this video is a year old now but when i tell you i have struggled almost to tears to teach my dog that can and has learned everything else known to man to BACK UP i got this video on my feed last night and decided what the hell lets try the treat in both hands thing...... IM GONNA CRY BUT NOT FROM FRUSTRATION SHES ACTUALLY GETTING IT AND NOT just sitting or sitting pretty to the point of falling backwards or jumping up on me. shes actually backing up in a straight line no weird legs just full understanding and im seriously in awe that it worked at all. ive tried the chair, pressuring her with my body, using a wall / 2 walls, ive tried so much except that and im so freaking hyped this worked
I really appreciate you using dogs of different sizes and showing different techniques that might work better for that size too(like the leg barriers for small dogs). I'm going to try these techniques with my dogs!
So so so glad this video popped up in my feed!!! My dude has known how to back up away from me since he was a puppy. It's very 2nd nature now. I can't say the same, however, about backing up in other ways. I've been trying to work on it for a couple months now, but just was not getting very far. As soon as I got done watching this video, I tried again using the techniques you showed...I got more progress in those 5 minutes than I had in the past 2 months!!! Seriously can't thank you enough!!
I tried everything in this video and my dog is very determined to sit instead of moving backwards. I did all the hints given. He's being very quick to sit...even though he walks backwards with me when on heel...that is until I tried these tricks. Now he wants to sit, and that is IT.
I suggest simply feeding him and not training, so put a treat between his paws, then toss one 2 inches further between his paws, so he keeps having to back a little to eat them and not sit, do this while you are crouched infront of him then progress to standing then crouching, you can also feed him for just standing in front of you too. if he sits , just make a noise to get his attention and back away from him until he stands, then continue to reinforce standing and then backing up to eat a treat, and when he stops sitting, then you can say, the new cue to back up before throwing the treat, then the next step is pretending to toss the treat and adding on that
Would love a video on how you currently keep your dogs mentally stimulated throughout the day. Do you keep training new tricks or sequences because your older dogs probably know almost anything and everything. Soni was just wondering what a regular day looks like
That is cute 🥰 my puppy does it on his own if he doesn’t want to do things he want to do. 😂he does in away that he looks like he dancing backwards. Or backs up to get your attention too 😂 . But it’s still cute to teach and see them do it. ❤

Awe thanks for the message it means a lot. Dog training helps my mental health too.
I completely agree with this comment! She is an incredible trainer and human.

Love these creative ways to help dogs learn.❤❤
I've struggled training a backup, but youve given me a couple of ideas to give it another try. Thank you for the video, nice clear instructions 👍
Mind blown. Kay's trick of capturing backing away from the chair is genius.
Yeah it is!
Thank you for all your videos. You have been so helpful in teaching me how to have a happy puppy
I really appreciate you using dogs of different sizes and showing different techniques that might work better for that size too(like the leg barriers for small dogs). I'm going to try these techniques with my dogs!
Oh yay!
Your training tips are always the best! They even work great for my touch averse cat. She's loving these exercises!
Oh cool!!!
Some are over my head, but I absolutely love your videos. We have our first dog ever and you have helped us so much.
Really excellent video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and demonstrating humane effective training methods.
Great tip about avoding the high stepping! I was just starting to see that, and now I know how to avoid it!

You are the best trainer I have ever come across😊 I always have success following your videos with my Border Collie
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Another great lesson!! Thank you thank you!!
what a gorgeous dog.

@@kikopup Emily, thank you very much for this help! Will report back after I give him some more tries.
@@kikopup Hey, your suggestion is working Emily! Thank you!
You are the best

How do you get your dog to back up without going into a sit?
