Dog Doesn't COME When Called? FIX It NOW!

- Follow these three rules and your dog will always come when called! We train dogs to come when called EVERY TIME and we help clients with this every day. It isn’t that hard as long as you follow a well thought out method that actually works.
Have you ever wondered why your dog does not listen to you when you call them? Do you want to teach your dog not to run away from you or play the chase game? If so, this video will help explain and fix those issues!
The first step to get your dog to come when called is actually teaching them the come command. Many times people think their dog knows come, but it is more of a game and the dog doesn’t really understand the word or the expectations. There are many ways to teach command, and if you want more information please watch our “Come Guaranteed” video. • STEP By STEP Guide To ...
Once your dog has learned the basics of the come command, we will advance it by moving to a long line, short tab and in some cases an e collar. Make sure you have a well thought out proofing plan as well to ensure your dog stays safe.
The second step of getting your dog to come is to teach your dog to not run away. This sounds obvious, but many dogs don’t understand this at the beginning. After your dog has learned the come command,we will start expecting more out of them. If they do not listen, you need some sort of consequence.
The last step to get your dog come to you is stop them from learning to selectively listen. In order for dogs to learn to listen every time, they need to learn consequences and they need to know that you will be 100% consistent!
Ideally, the process of teaching your dog to come should start when they are young. If you didn’t start when they were a puppy, don’t worry! We see this all the time! It is never too late to teach your dog to come when called!

What many people don't get is that dogs are smart, sentient beings! They figure us out pretty quickly and well. Training the human is the more challenging thing because that forms the foundation for success (or not) in training a dog, which should always be done with kindness and consistency.
Totally agreed!
Yeah, the “squirrel” coming into to play is a game changer! Gets me every time too! 😅
Totally agreed Mark! Then they hang out on top of the fence or in a low tree branch teasing the dog 😂.
Love how wally keeps looking around like who you talking to bro?
😊
i've been all over the internet looking at videos to help me train my dogs, this is absolutely the best channel so far. this guy's way of explaining things is so easy to follow and understand.
Thank you for the kind words Dave! Reach out any time with questions!
I always separate “come” and “close”. Close always meant be within about 20 yards of me, which was useful for bird hunting. If i repeated close they learn to be more like 10 yards and so on as I want him free but near me, without being at “heel”. I love these basics.
It sounds like you have some well trained dogs! Being able to ask your dog to heel, come or just stay close definitely makes life a lot more fun!
@@dahkneelah Great idea! We will add it to the list! With spring weather coming it will be a lot more fun training/filming outside!
Clear direction on how to give command precisely, straight to the point.
Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment Brett! Reach out with questions any time!
Thank you for explaining how to get your dog to stay. My dog comes but then runs away as if it were a game.
That happens a lot! Teaching an auto sit when they come will work wonders. Thanks for watching!
I swear, my Shitzu smiles at me before he takes off on his zoomy. He’s one year old. I just got him. Thanks for the video.
We teach an enthusiastic recall. For two weeks we only care about the enthusiasm so no sit at the end until you have the enthusiasm down pat. Grab the collar BEFORE giving the high value treat that is only used for the recall (so filet mignon, steak, bacon - whatever the dog will do back flips for - only used for recalls - no other time). Also, one time only - dog's name, recall word). If you're the type of person who every other word out of your mouth is the recall word (like a lot of you tubers) then you have to change your recall word - it's sacred, so used only three times per day only with that highest level treat). Hope that helps.
Agreed completely on having a clear phrase for recall that is only used once per recall. We coach clients on "praising the dog all the way in" when they are early in the training process. This means they would use "Name and Come" and then a steady stream of happy talk to the dog to keep the dog's focus and energy on them. The happy talk can be anything other than reissuing the come command over and over.
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining we also have the whole class cheer when each dog commits. Seems to make the dogs all proud of themselves. Of course softer cheers for the shy dogs. Not sure why the cheering by everyone, but it works. Hope that helps.
Cant wait to start this tonight. 6mos old mini golden is stubborn! Been practicing crate w/chicken hotdogs as reward. In the am, she won't listen. I've had her a month now. She's skittish too. I afford filet mignon nor want to carry raw meat, can you suggest a good treat to buy please.
@@DMCfromNJ We generally don't worry too much about needing to find the most appealing treat in the world. For many dogs their dry kibble food is enough. Freeze dried chicken is great and is more exciting for dogs but is generally not needed. We like our praise to be a big part of the reward and then the treat is just "icing on the cake". Have fun and let us know if you have questions!
I don’t think using it just three times a day is enough during training, but they should be rewarded each time and never punished like take them home from the park after using it. So, when there is an emergency they will always come.
Excellent video. Great technique.
One of the biggest mistakes new dog owners make, is to call their dog to them for discipline. Coming to you should always be a positive experience.
👍
Right. So why would you say the word "come" and tug at the same time? That causes the dog to associate the word come with an unpleasant sensation. I would use a sharp "no" with the TUG, and then repeat the come command in a neutral or friendly tone so that the dog wants to comply. (Later, simply one "no" will stop the dog in his tracks (no leash required), rather than being one of those people who uselessly shout come-come-come to their distracted dog.) In other words, negative correction ("no" and tug) with an error, then encouragement with the come command so the dog feels no apprehension in willingly approaching you (not being tugged toward you). Ditto with the "heel" command: if the dog doesn't heel, use "no" and a tug, then a loose or guiding leash with the word "heel" until the dog responds appropriately.
@@user-bx4ov2qy8b Was your comment directed at me? Your comment has nothing to do with what I said.
@@user-bx4ov2qy8b This is a common question and the answer is fairly long. The summarized version is that dogs are smart and they do not make the association that come is bad when you give a correction. They learn that when they hear "no" after ignoring you that they will be corrected. We like to give a correction at this point to remind them what they are supposed to be doing (come).
The beauty of dog training though is that there are many ways that can all work very well. The way you describe will certainly work and there is no issue with it, it is just different than how we do it. We cover this topic in detail on our podcast and in other training videos.
Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
Lots of ppl need to hear this video! There needs to be consequences when a dog choses to ignore you and that is Not mean. That is clarity.
Absolutely! A half trained dog is dangerous to themselves and others. So many dogs get lost or hurt because they don’t listen well enough off leash. Thanks for watching!!!
Like what kind of consequences for a dog that won’t listen? I’m new to this and a beagle as well
@@joannhasch9413 there needs to be context before one can answer that question.
This makes complete sense to me. Thanks for the tips!

what most owners don't/won't understand is "over and over again",excellent video sir!
For sure! A big part of training is just persistence and patience. Thanks for watching!
Yep, and this is true of anyone training for anything. Repetition is crucial.
Over and over is good. But not over and over for the command.
Until forever ends, and then some more. Dog training ends with the life of the dog.
Very helpful information & great presentation! Thank you. 😊

Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment!
Several years ago I was chasing our black lab around our block. He thought it was great fun! I couldn’t catch him at all. In frustration I yelled, ‘Bentley, SIT!" and he did! I walked up to him and attached the leach and we went home. 😂😂😂
😁😁😁 Glad you caught him!
This is awesome! Thank you!

Great training, well taught, easy to understand! I will definitely try this with my 15 month old Golden Retriever.
That's great! I love Goldens! I call them the breed you can't mess up. That's an exaggeration of course, but with an untrained Golden generally your worst case scenario is they jump on people and lick too much. Let us know if you have any questions after you get started!
What a nice dog. Good lesson
Thanks Eric!!!
Thank you I justcrescued a great Pryneese she's 4mths old n I needed this to get her and I on the same page to train her. I'm going to use free after her commands too.
I was impressed of your use of the word FREE to the dog. telling the dog that that particular event has ended. Its something that I was taught to do long ago and have used it with every dog I have had.
Absolutely! If there is no “free” command then pretty soon stay becomes useless because the dog leaves whenever it feels like it. Thanks for watching and keep up the good work with your dog!
I use "OK" as a release, concept is the same. The entire family needs to use the same commands so it's not so confusing to them.
i am by no means a dog trainer but iv always used OK would this be something I should change and I have a Siberian husky and a border collie German Shepard mix and they both can be off leash and stay right next to me well the husky has to be a lil bit in front but she is nvr all the way in front of me but when I say ok they know they are allowed to run around and explore but as I dont see any thing wrong with it would it be better to do free with future dogs
@@isubiez There is nothing wrong with "ok" as your release word. The reason we use "free" is that it is rarely said in conversation in an excited voice. "Ok" is often said in an excited tone and in theory you could accidently release your dog from a command without knowing it. That being said, the risk is pretty low and I would worry too much about it.
The release command is crucial. Sit means sit until I tell you something else to do or until I release you.
thank you! Very informative and easy to follow. I will be trying this to get our dog to come when called. :)
I'm glad it was helpful! Reach out with questions any time!
This is a big HELP❤🙏
Glad it is helpful. Thanks for watching!
I use this method successfully. But I also include a hand signal, like a high sweep with one arm when calling “Come!” That works when the dog can see me but not necessarily hear me due to distance, ambient noise, etc. sometimes the hand signal is more compelling than the audible command. Good video.
Absolutely! Dogs definitely pick up hand signals very quickly! Thanks for watching!!!
I have had rottweilers for 39 years. I learned decades ago that yelling for a rottweiler in public usually creates panic - especially if they decide to just finish whatever theyre doing before returning (as many do) - so i have always trained my dogs to hand signals on everything.
My little chihuahua has been taught verbal and hand signals and if I just snap my fingers she immediately comes to my side.
What a lovely dog.
Thanks Brian! He is a good pup!
good training for sure. Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching!

OMGosh! So clear! AND you use the word, “No”! My Goldens are so bright. I am the one needing to learn to communicate expect.
We love Goldens! They are great dogs and love to train! Thanks for watching and let us know if you ever have any questions!
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining I will be watching your videos! Many trainers like to show what they can do. You show me how I can also communicate with my girls!

Priceless information! We live by pch! I have a 1 and half yo runner! We start this week! 😊
That's great! Reach out with any questions once you get started!!!
I really like your style. At any point you're not implying the dog negative feelings, just that the response by him was negative in the sense of not desirable. But the little correction after stopping the action still feels like a positive experience. You're not mad, you're not punishing, you're just stopping and giving the keyword "no", then fixing the action. It's sometimes really difficult to come up with the more abstract proxies, and like what if the dog is just not distracted when training, but in a real situation the dog becomes distracted and doesn't have that response to focusing to the task.
Thanks for the compliment! Having a method and sticking to it can work wonders with a dog!!!
Big thanks!
Absolutely Raymond! Reach out with questions any time!
Thank you. I paid for classes years back with a new dog each time and asked for help with this exactly and one other thing stay. They were no help. That was very helpful. All my dogs have been Velcro but one so I have never been able to get them to stay.
I am glad the video was helpful. Let us know if you have any questions!
This video is excellent and easy to understand. It explained so much from the dog's perspective. I was letting mine get away with running away from me in the yard and I'd just get frustrated and walk away. He needs consistent consequences every time. Thanks so much for a great training video.
I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment! Reach out with questions any time!
I'm sure this is truly basic for most trainers but this was suuuper informative for me I have a German Short-haired pointer has some bad habits during to my fault .. this is very good info as he's headstrong n easily distracted !! Thx 😎
I'm glad the video was helpful for you! GSPs can be pretty excitable and definitely need a lot of repetition with the come command. Good luck and have fun!
I've had two pointers and a pointer-mix. In general, I've found them easy to train. Consistency is the key. Sometimes it helps to imagine you trying to teach someone who doesn't understand your language and has no idea what your gestures mean. Never punish a dog for not knowing something. Only punish them when they DO know and behave badly anyway.
In general, when you're starting out with a dog, don't consider that they have learned a behavior until they've done it 40-50 times without error. And you should work with the dog EVERY DAY. I find that feeding time is a good time. My dog brings me her bowl to let me know she wants to eat. I get her food and put the bowl down. Then we spend about 10 minutes reviewing commands... usually not more than about dozen or so. If she fails at any of them, the training session goes on a little longer. When performance is perfect, I tell her to "get it, get it, get it!" which means it's "CHOW TIME!" Her level of enthusiasm spikes during the training session because she knows that at the end of it she's going to fill her belly!
Don’t know which part of the world you live but your parks are beautiful and oh so quite.😊
This was filmed in Tennessee right outside of Nashville. It is a beautiful area, thanks for watching!
Great explanations. The hardest part about teaching a dog anything is learning how to teach itself. A trainer once put in perspective the common issue when a dog goes through the trash can while you’re at work and the second you get home you of course yell/punish the dog. But the dog is simply associating you coming home and yelling at them, not what they did 8 hours ago. This is powerful. Think like a dog to better communicate. Great video!
Absolutely! When dogs steal trash we have clients set up a trash can and then leave but go somewhere they can still see or hear the dog. Cameras work well for this! Then they can mark the bad behavior within one second of it happening! Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to drop a comment!
Honestly works with people as well…
This is really really good! I need a long line
When looking for a long line definitely try and find a brass or stainless steel clip. The shiny silver clips are often hollow and can break easily. Here is a link to a nice line that is sold by another dog trainer on Amazon. amzn.to/4aBH6YA

So glad I saw your video. We will work with the long leash. We’ve had our 1 yr old prey-driven dog (DNA showed55% S.Husky 45% American Pitbull Terrier )for a couple of months (rescue)
He learns fast..comes at all times that is convenient for him (won’t come if chasing squirrels, deer, etc). We live in the country with lots of woods/trails so it’s imperative we get him to come when we take him off leash. We will start this weekend with the long leash (we’ll have to figure out the treat he will go to the ends of the earth for, hahaha). He loves all food - thank goodness he runs it off and boy does he run, and run and run !
The long line will work wonders for you! He just needs to learn getting away isn’t an option. Have fun with the process and let us know if you need any guidance!
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining I will keep you posted. We didn’t know what else to do Can’t wait to get started this weekend. 😀😀😀😀😀

I sure will. Goose’s trainer is on vaca this week. He is making big strides nonetheless 💕
This video was exactly what I was looking for. I needed to hear the “over and over” and “every single time.” At present my dog DOES NOT come when called, only sometimes. Will be trying out your techniques!
That's great Laura! Reach out with questions anytime!
Amazing advice, my pup has step 1 down but when hes in the yard he doesnt listen and thats because i dont enforce it every singe time. Definitely will start doing that now.
The long line could be a great tool for you! You can buy one or make one easily with materials from Home Depot. Just buy a small clip and tie a length of thin rope to it and you are good to go!
Good video. Come here! No! is the best command also wait! and walk!I used praise instead of treats. Consistency
Training with praise instead of treats is great if it works for you and your dog! I prefer praise training but it is much harder to motivate with voice alone and many people struggle with it. It is on my list to create a video showing how to motivate with only praise! Thanks for the comment!
@SuburbanK9DogTraining I owned a Pointer that was not food motivated at all, he did enjoy a game of tuggy, so I carried a rag rope. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be of interest if he scented prey. The 'NO' in a sharp tone eventually worked. Proud moment when he stopped at full gallop as he scented a pheasant in a sheep field. He was my most difficult dog to train, needed lots of repetition and patience. He taught me a lot. Thanks Archer, I miss you.
@@BetPondue Sounds like you worked hard and eventually got through to Archer. Great work!
Thanks for talking about what to do when they don’t listen lol. So many videos are an already trained dog and just what to do not what to do when they say nah

Everything you said is correct. It works on children too. You don’t have to beat someone or hurt them to get the right reaction, but you do have to mark it. We marked good behavior, as well as bad behavior or unwanted behavior.
Absolutely Carol! Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
A good presentation with a good explenation. My dog ( German Shepperd ) I bought because his owner did not threet him nice and the dog learned nothing from the outside like streets, woods, bikes, cars, other people, dogs, cats, ect. I start with training him on a quite parkingplace and walk in the woods. The barking is a little less but it takes time to learn a dog on the age of 2 years old how the world is. Pulling when walking is much more less and I can throw a ball already and than he comes back to me. When other people or dogs are there it is a nightmare and that happens in the car too. He likes to learn a lot but he always see things like playing. I be patience and go on training and this video helps a lot. THANKS for that.
It sounds you are working hard with your Shepherd. He is lucky to have you! Keep up the hard work and reach out anytime with questions!
Thank you for the video! I need to work on my dogs listening when there are squirrels around. They are perfect when there are no distractions.... I get distracted the same as you.. ha!

Thanks for the video, we will try this with our dog. We thought he had a good recall until there were people (he loooooves meeting people) and once a big bird. He just totally ignored us and ran to greet them (or eat them in case of the bird😅). I was so ashamed. Thankfully they were nice and liked dogs. Don't wanna imagine if he does this to someone who might be scared of dogs or something.
Anyway, he is back on his long leash now and training starts anew.
There is definitely no shame in your dog making mistakes! Dogs love to eat birds😂😂😂 I love to hear that you are working hard to address it so your dog can enjoy a fun life of running off leash. Reach out with questions any time!
Mother dogs naturally use “negative” reinforcement to communicate corrections to their puppies. People need to realize this.
Good informational video!
👍🏽‼️
Yes they absolutely do. Most people get pups after they have been whelped and don’t see or hear the mom correcting them. A simple guttural growl or groan from the mom can immediately change a pup’s behavior. If a dog owner knows this and corrects a pup with the same type of low pitch command the pup immediately recognizes it.

One of our goals is for people to learn how to use all four quadrants of operant conditioning. This definitely makes training much more effective and leads to happier/well balanced dogs. Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment!!!
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining I don’t disagree with anything you’re doing or saying. Most people don’t realize the amount of time that is involved in training a dog. They get a dog and just think that it will magically know how to behave.
@@bham311 For sure! Many people try training their dogs for a few weeks and if it doesn't go well they give up. Unfortunately that often means the dog needs to spend the rest of its life on a leash because it can't be trusted not to run off.
Tom Rose or Nate Schooner's methods? I recognize the "free". Fantastic video! Thanks
I don't know Tom or Nate personally but from my understanding there is definitely a lot of overlap in our training styles. They both have great reputations!
One big difference is that they train a lot of working dogs and focus on building drive in their training. That is something we don't do much of because our clients generally just want calm dogs rather than drivey working dogs. We work hard to make training a calm experience for the dog. There is definitely a place for drive in training but most of our clients don't really want it. It is definitely needed though for protection or any dog who is expected to work at a high level.
Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
This is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing. Quick question - do you give your dog a treat after the correction (after you have said 'no, come, come, sit')?
Great question! We only give a reward (pet them, treat etc.) if they listen well on the first try. That is why we start teaching at a low difficulty level and make it as easy as possible on the dog at first.
I would love to see you teach this to a dog that isn't already trained.
That is on our list Leaanne! Thanks for watching!
Great video
Dog training videos with a well trained dogs proves your good but showing a dog in process would demonstrate the proper corrections.
That is a good point! It is on our list to get a video during the process but we keep pushing it off. Very often when I get to a session with a client I just dive right in and focus on helping them right away and then schedule a filming day when I have a day off.
I need to bring a camera person to a session and get some live action. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?
Yes, a six-month-old Husky puppy would be ideal.
I was thinking the same thing.
This is soo helpful. I can not get clear between the 2nd & 3rd version- could someone expand?
Also, how you go from long leash to off lead?
I'd love to understand as my dog gets distracted & is not interested in food of any kind thst Iver tried, in those scenarios!
Thanks
We advance to off leash once the dog is 100% on the long line. If you don't fully trust your pup I would consider e collar training. Here is a video showing how to acclimate a dog to the vibration on an e collar. ua-cam.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/v-deo.html
We use treats during the first e collar vibration session to help the dog understand that the vibration is a good thing and not a punishment. If your dog doesn't care about treats much just use a lot of praise. We phase the treats out very quickly so if you don't use them at all it is fine.
Thank you. You pointed out that dogs are persons. Anything with a person-ality, is a person, not just humans. Just like with us, they will break the rules when it is an option on the table. Also, having a properly trained dog is a lot of work!
Agreed! Having a well trained dog is a lot of work! It is definitely worth it though! We spend a lot of time with clients helping them understand their dog’s personality and figuring out why their dog doesn’t listen. Like you said, lots of different personalities out there!
Dogs are not humans.

@SuburbanK9DogTraining TY, I will.
education and being consistent start on a leash until the dog learns and does as asked
Agreed 1000%! Too many people go straight to off leash training and then both the owner and the dog end up frustrated.
My trainer taught me this Tasha good dog Brighton uk. I we to her from 6 months old till just under 2. He recalls to me every single time no matter what he is doing he bounds over to me and sits and waits and looks at my full attention.
We still use long line in countryside incase we suddenly see sheep lol
That is great hear! Sounds like you had a great trainer!
I wish I had seen this video sooner. It is exactly the running away from me even though he knew the come command. He ran into the road and was hit and killed. I feel so guilty. I am trying to learn everything I can to keep that mistake from ever happening to me again. He traveled with us on vacation and was great, but it only took one time of him not coming back when I called that changed my life forever and cost him his life. I hope this helps others.
I am so sorry to hear that Jill. Don’t be too hard on yourself though. It sounds like your dog was well loved and had a great life.
Unfortunately this happens all the time which is why our company puts such an emphasis on off leash training. Thanks for watching and sharing such a painful story for others to learn from.
I’m so sorry
It’s amazing how many people I see that call their dogs when they are running towards them and when they run straight past they shut up and pretend the dog is trained
Haha. Agreed. That’s why we work so hard on having them sit to finish the command. Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment!
I believe in praise training versus treat training.
Totally agreed! We have another video discussing that exact point. That being said, it is harder for many people to motivate with praise alone so it can make a lot of sense to start with treats and praise and then phase out the treats. I personally use treats for most young puppies and very few adult dogs. I generally only use treats for adult dogs when they are nervous and can’t be motivated by praise. Thanks for watching!
And the same techniques work with children just as well as long as you have consistency with your rules you can't be one way today and another tomorrow because it will cause confusion and disobedience. When they know what gets praise and what gets punishment they will always chose praise and so will children just don't forget the praise or reward with either because that can be counterproductive
Thank you, now I get it. I think my Belgian shepherd invented the “game”. Most annoying and frustrating thing ever!
Hey Gary! I'm glad the video was helpful! How old is your dog?
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining she’s 11 months old, smart and full of energy. I spent a half hour trying to catch her last week, and I swore never again. I ordered an E collar from Sportdog, and am researching how to properly integrate it into her training.
I think an e collar is a great choice for her! I like to start with acclimating the dog to the vibration and introducing it as a positive. A lot of people think of e collars as a punishment tool, but when used well they are meant to be a communication tool. We use lots of praise and treats if needed when starting the vibration to ensure they know it isn't scary and isn't meant to be punishment. Believe it or not a lot of dogs are scared when they first feel the vibration because it is so different than anything else they have experienced. Here is a video showing exactly how to do it. ua-cam.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/v-deo.html
Once they are acclimated to the vibration we will phase in the stim function as a correction if needed. We often acclimate the dog to the stim function on the walk by pairing it with the heel command. Let us know if you have any questions as you dig into everything!
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining Great feedback, thanks again!
My dogs have reliable recalls. We have strong bonding and i give my dogs plenty exercises. That's fundamental
That’s awesome to hear! Keep up the hard work!!!
He was looking to see who you were talking to 😂

When are you going to take the Quarter Mile sit stay recall challenge?
I have a Beagle that has only been trained with reward markers (clicker or “Yes”) for looking in my direction, then treated when he arrives. Started in quiet small room, repeated in larger spaces, with distractions. No corrections were necessary. If you pattern a positive interaction whenever the dog comes to you, you can eventually start rewarding only for the FASTEST responses. If you don’t give your dog a worthy reward for coming, or it leads to a negative consequence when they come (such as a nail trim/bath/reprimand) you get a dog who is conflicted since they’re unsure of what may happen. My neighbor’s dogs encourage my dog to bark at the fence. Even if he’s in full bark mode, he’s happily run into the house if I call him.
I’m glad your dog is doing well!
We have trainers around the country and see hundreds of dogs each year that have spent a long amount of time doing positive only training. They come to us because the dogs learn the commands and listen in some situations, but can’t be trusted off leash in new situations. If your dog can be trusted off leash at the park that is awesome! Unfortunately many dogs need a consequence for disobeying when the distraction is more exciting than the reward. If there isn’t a consequence many dogs become a danger to themselves by running off.
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining You're insinuating that R+ training is the cause for their dogs to not listen in certain situations. An important concept in ALL types of training is the "3 Ds": distance, distraction and duration. A cue/command must be trained using all three of those Ds and the dog has to be "proofed" to the point that it can still respond to the cue when ALL three of those concepts are in play. The dog has to be trained well enough (and he CAN be with R+ only) that he will come from a distance even with distractions. YOU have to be more exciting than the distraction--and if you're going to scold me when coming to you when called then guess what? I'm going to avoid you. I'm not totally against corrections but they must be used judiciously. If you have a dog that is consistently running off, then that dog is not ready to be off leash in an open area and YOU are putting that dog in danger, as well as other people/dogs.
@@mdw908 It sounds like we in agreement on many things! We explain the three Ds to clients every day and believe in spending a lot of time in the proofing phase. I also agree that if your dog runs off consistently they should not be off leash in public. That is why we like to show people how to use a long line.
The part we are not the biggest fans of is having to be more exciting than a distraction. I have seen way too many dogs over the years that could not be trusted off leash because they find distractions more exciting than their owners. Those dogs will need a correction of some sort to convince them to listen in very exciting situations.
Overall, we consider off leash training to be the greatest gift anyone can give their dog and just want people to spend time thinking about the process and then working hard with their dogs!
Why in the world would you make regular hygiene practices a negative experience? It just stresses out you and your dog.
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining I think the problem between the positive and balanced community is we’re looking for two different things. Positive people are concerned about how their dog feels throughout the process, safety of the dog, public safety, and realistic expectations. They can have their dog off leash and responsive, but they pick which situations based on their dog’s skill.
Balanced trainers work with clients who want complete control of the dog regardless of the situation. The issue is have with this is you don’t know what’s going through your dog’s mind. I work in veterinary behavior, where we see dogs that were “blowing off their owner” so the stim level was increased to get compliance. The dog then associated the correction NOT WITH THE BEHAVIOR, but with something going on when the stim happened. I had one that became afraid of grass, another that would not go outside in the area where it occurred, others who generalized to being anxious anytime they were on a walk. This will not happen to every dog, but it is a possibility that many owners are unaware of.
Lolololololololol
Hilarious analogy...wife in short shorts.
Lolololololol
😀. Thanks for watching!
Pretty sure my Leela is what you'd call a natural lol.
Unless she sees a squirrel... Which is why I'm gonna go watch your other video 😂
Haha 😂😂😂
Wallen! 🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍

Well I have a 5 month old English Setter so I hope this helps 😊
Reach out with any questions once you get started!
my GSD has realized that he can keep running if he's on his regular 6ft leash. with the 50ft one he came every time (for over a year), I fell one time when he was on the shorter one, accidentally dropped the leash, he picked up the end and ran never looking back when I called. ( I only got him back b/c he ran into a dead end after 20min) That convinced me to NEVER let him off leash like I used to with my other dogs.
I would definitely consider e collar training your GSD. Here is a link to a video showing how to start using the vibration function as a pager. ua-cam.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/v-deo.html
E collar training is fun for both you and the dog when dog right. The most important step is acclimating them properly!
great video. i have a bc pup of 14 months. offleash he would chase horses, kids on skateboard you name it hence he is rarely offleash. will your method also work for dogs with strong herding instinct?
For sure! One of my dogs is a Cattle Dog and he was trained in this method. I used praise instead of treats though. Here is a video showing him in training outside. ua-cam.com/video/ehCNYQlVeLE/v-deo.html
Here is another video I think would be great for your Border Collie. It shows how we train inside during bad weather to work a dogs brain. ua-cam.com/video/0va2_Qf_1UI/v-deo.html
I would also consider doing e collar work with your pup. When done right it is fun and they really enjoy it! Here is a video showing me starting the process with a fresh dog who has never worn an e collar. ua-cam.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/v-deo.html
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining thanks for all that i've watched the videos and followed exactly as per the videos. he does really well out in the fields with minimal distractions. unfortunately where i live ecollars aren't allowed only anti bark vibration collars. how would you deal with sudden fixations to chase moving motor cycles or horses and such? I don't put him in situation like that but it's something I could see happening. should i stop playing fetch with my dog?
to add, he will get neutered coming months.
@@ruffgook I would do a lot of long line training where you set up the situations and proof the word "no" by stopping the dog each time he practices the dangerous or unallowed behaviors. I would go and search out those situations as often as you possibly can.
Here is a link to a video we just released with a young Border Collie puppy. ua-cam.com/video/FsujPo_PBps/v-deo.html
In the video we discuss proofing the word no and show some corrections when the dog chooses not to listen.
Let us know what other questions come up!
The wife in short shorts analogy LOL so curious if you came up with that on the fly. On a more serious note, love this video! Consistent corrections are key! I often find myself getting lazy and repeating with no consequence, and my dog for sure takes advantage of that!!
That analogy was off the cuff. Luckily she isn't involved in editing because she would have made me cut it 😂
@SuburbanK9DogTraining She'd be right, you should have cut it. It's sexist and off putting. Do better.
@@janetta5827Hmmm. My wife and I have been married for 17 years and I love her as much as the day I met her and find her to be the most beautiful woman in the world. It may be a dumb joke, but it is certainly not sexist to be physically attracted to your spouse.

A dog that knows how to play the game? German Shepherd Dogs lol, Only dog I've ever had that did something to spite me. Liked and Subbed.
I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
If you can find another person to get involved, you can turn it into a game and they enjoy it more. So call the dogs back and forth and and treat after grabbing collar. Cut off the activity before the dog gets bored.
