Thank you for these videos! You explain it very clearly and well, I am following along with my puppy as I am watching and seeing a great improvement compared to the last few weeks (of struggling)! :)
The main focus of this training is to encourage the dog to learn IMPULSE Contraol rather than IMPOSED CONTROL by you - in doing so they will build drive and speed to get what they want (which is out of the crate just to get back in it for a reward). if the dog learns this simple lesson, it will be a sinch to train more difficult behavoirs like a start line and stopped contacts.
i have a very small terrier mix..hes 8m old but he cries and tries to get out of his crate all nite long..i wanna try this but he is oblivious to me at times. very stubborn. i am just starting his training now and he is starting to learn how to sit and come. half the time he wont listen even with the treats
Yes..Yes..The dog gets anxious because of the decisions WE make to get the dog in the crate This creates stress (= anxiety).By making it into a game (positive reinforcement ) and allow the dog to decide to sit and wait ( treat) we induce positive emotions ( rewards) and negative reinforcement( =withholding rewards) for the bad choices ( something we don't like the dog to do) we do not force the dog anymore but allow the dog to make his own choice ( sitting and staying in the crate) thus the crate gets a positive reinforcement..It most likely will take longer to overcome any negative association in this case with the crate.Remember there are never 'quick fixes'to overcome bad behaviours.
How much time had you spent off-camera training? How many sessions and duration? Do you always add in the verbal cue to go back in the crate or sometimes cue and sometimes say nothing?
I am watching all of your videos of Zelda. you are so patient and she is such a smart girl!

I see, thanks for responding. Great job.

can you start this with any age?
would this help with a dog who gets anxiety in the crate?

Well trained pup... but what is the point of this training? Just wondering because you talk about "drive"
