Brilliant podcast, love the new digs and love Waffle. He's grown so much, really made me laugh out.....that big stretch, tail wagging, to snag the bowl off the surface, too funny 😂🤣 I think this podcast will be so illuminating for lots of dog owners. I don't have this problem anymore - Recallers Alumni 😊😜
As soon as my dogs come into our main living space they go straight on the scrounge. I've tried so many things. Your explanation of them being curious then reinforced for this makes perfect sense and so obvious now you say it 😂. Time to go back to basics and work on the dogs value for hot zone and me rather than getting frustrated at there 'Naughty' behaviour. Thank you for me and the dogs 😍
I just watched my very old DVD copy of Crate Games. We are expecting a new puppy in January. I have been scouring the internet for dog training help and it seems no one else is giving such precise information. We are very excited to get him started out in life using these lessons, and will probably sign up for Home School the Dog a bit later on. Thank you for your generosity with all the free information you post online.

Great pod cast as usual! I love to listen, because I always learn something that I can use in my journey with my short poodle. The only reason he hasn't counter surfed is he is too short. The other day I saw him stand up on his back feet and walk to the counter to see what was on it. I will make a hot zone closed to the counter and then gradually move it away from the cabinet. (musical notes)I'm dreaming of a white poodle who doesn't beg when I'm cooking for Christmas(end of song). P.S. That would be a dog with a smarter trainer.
Another insightful video, Susan! I got a lot of information from this about what I need to be doing regarding IYC, kitchen floor and HZ! I made a mistake right off. my dog was searching the kitchen floor for crumbs. I took him by the collar to his HZ (should have let go sooner) then promptly reinforced the behavior by giving him a treat!🤪 Lesson learned! I’ll never repeat that error. Thank you once again for the clarity! Love the new space❤
Pff i think i finally found out of how to comment. Thank you so much for your podcasts and all the ideas you share! I want to get my dog to stop jumping on my guests and keeping their hand in pure excitement of seeing them and wanting to greet them. The challenge: how to get him wait with greeting til i tell him to do, and stay on the floor. And how to get him to do different, while i welcome my friends.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is so helpful! My Lab puppy turned a year old yesterday. Her curiosity got her getting up on surfaces months ago and grabbing whatever… rarely food, but anything she gets is reinforcing. Gloves, books, fabric, whatever! If only it were just food it would be a lot easier! She’s got a good IYC and RZ. Working on Hot zones… my kitchen is too small for dog beds. Definitely going to start working on lots of DOs. I think she’ll love all the DO reinforcement!
Smokey has reverted to counter surfing so I am starting there. It’s going to be a challenge because he recently helped himself to bacon wrapped sausages.😮 I love the new set up.
I chopped up some fresh little cubes of my dog and puppy's favourite meat to prepare for a new training session in h360, and left the bowl on the kitchen bench. My dogs are only little - 7 kilos each. I went outside to get some training toys, and when I came back, all of the meat was gone! At first I thought it was my cat, but my cats don't eat that much, and certainly not that fast. It was then I realised, that my athletic older dog (she's five), had jumped up on to the cat table, leapt on to the stove, and walked across the counter to get to the food. She sat there looking at me licking her lips, I stood there looking at her with my jaw on the floor lol - oh man, I haven't done enough work with IYC! my puppy (15 months) is not food driven, so it's not an issue with him. Love the new space :) Also love the podcasts done in your house :)
My sister-in-law calls it counterintelligence. It is common for all of our dogs to have all four feet on the ground, but the nose is up high in the air. They then run the circumference of the kitchen counters. They are a joy to train. It can be done. This is a good place for training.
@VirginiaBarnhart how fabulous you are in Recallers 💙 In the website, check under bonuses for our reactive dog resources for members. You've got this!!
I love the new space! The color scheme is great. ❤ I am going to work on Josey helping herself to her kibble, which I am working on switching to raw / whole food anyway. HS the dog and Recallers' games are helping build both of our confidence (rescue pup) so much!😊
@marysacquety7218 Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your progress with Josey! We are so glad to hear that HSTD and Recallers' Games are helping both of you. (Julie - DogsThat Team)
Awesome video - comes at a great time as my lab has taken to stealing the dishtowels from the oven handle. Then it is a merry game of chase which she loves. Unfortunately we have reinforced this behavior as we are attempt to get them back from her. Back to the basics - it's your choice and hot zone!
Great Podcast and going to work on this when my Trex barks at my Hubby for no reason we can figure out. Thanks for everything you do and Hope Everyone has an Awesome Blessed Christmas and Wonderful New Year 🎅🎄🤶🎁
I need to work with my new rescue to not bark incessantly and charge at the door when someone comes over. He’s friendly but too enthusiastic with visitors. This also happens when he sees other dogs in the park; he wants to charge at them to play. Since he’s a Dane, this can be a problem to say the least. But I’ve had him for less than a month and he’s coming along nicely with other things we’ve been working on. I’ll start applying these training methods with him and scan through your other videos too. I’ve been a subscriber for a while, love your training style and mindset.
@dakotan9237 Thank you for your kind words. Susan has some games to play with your Dane that may help him when seeing other people and dogs --> Leash Walking: Distracted, or Reactive Dog? These Games Will Help! - ua-cam.com/video/dE3tZbzNgPo/v-deo.html (Julie - DogsThat Team)
I think my dog has had the chance to reward himself too often. While we're actively training on leaving edible things alone, he does great. But when it actually matters, not so much 😂 He's a Basset hound x German shepherd mix with very strong Basset genes 😬
There's a playlist of 'project togetherness' on here too (in case you haven't seen it). I had to work intensely on that when I got my puppy with my adopted adult dog. For sure you don't want them rehearsing fighting with each other, not even once (if it gets serious they could grow to hate each other, and that is not fun for anyone in the house). You are right, you need to put in the time so I am sure you have got this! It was an intense couple of months with my two but it really paid off and they are great now. Wishing you all the very best :)
So, I have a unique situation. My 2 year old GSPxEnglish setter actually needs to put his feet up on things, independently of my cueing. Since sometimes it's any time for a dog, this can cause some problems. He's a search dog and if we are searching anything (building, cars, woods, water) , I need him to search high and low. I also won't be close enough to him in a lot of situations to keep cueing him to "check high". I'm in Recallers Alumni, but have yet to make it all the way through the games. It's hard to determine how much control I need to have since he has to work and make decisions in his job that are very independent from me. Any suggestions?
@sandyrecard Susan has a couple of great podcasts that you may find helpful with your puppy chewing on things she shouldn't --> ua-cam.com/video/s5m7nZCBJQ8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/iZA1NCEJYzE/v-deo.html (Julie - DogsThat Team)
Oh no, I just had that, aha, oh no moment, when my girl, puts her paws up on bench, I do tell her off, and then I will ask a sit or down, and give a treat, so I believe I have been reinforcing this behavior, is that correct? I must just grab her collar and guide her to a bed? When she was a puppy around 3-8 months maybe , I did do some training in kit😢, such as collar grab, and few others, at the time it was the only room I could block us in so our other boy didn't distract so I assume this will take me a little longer now to change that behavior?
Off topic… last week when Susan was showing us her new training room, she pointed out her dogs on the walls. When she got to Swagger she said something about he’s always watching. Did I miss something is he still with her? He’s my PuppyPeaks Baby forever.
Hi @jeffreyH360, not to worry - Swagger is doing very well and turning 14! He can often be seen sitting on a Hot Zone with a favorite toy in his mouth. :) (Sarah - DogsThat)

How would this look for barking at mealtimes? Moving the dog out of the kitchen isn't an issue- she understands to be outside the kitchen and sitting, but she sits behind the gate whining. How do you get them to understand not to vocalize? I don't give her the bowl 'til she's quiet, but I still get lots of barking and whining in the 5 minutes while I'm prepping the food. This is definitely an emotional issue of over excitement, but I don't want to kill her enthusiasm for food either. I'm not sure where to start.

Definitely counter surfing and jumping on me when stressed and jumping on new people.
Leash reactivity! Pretty sure it's excitement rather than fear. I'm just beginning the Recallers course, and this is great information to add to that.

Hi @charrasweeney-reeves2016 this would be a fabulous question to ask in Recallers. We have many people in Recallers with search dogs 💙
Mine is a fox terrier puppy and she chews on everything. Bedding socks shoes. How do I get her to refocus when the padding is in her crate

Licking sources in scent search work. Licking and maybe eating animal poop (deer, elk, human!!) found in the woods.
Reactivity to other dogs when she’s on a leash.
