You can also see many other popular UA-cam dog trainers teaching the same behavior. The more techniques you have to choose from, the greater your chances of success. Dog training by Kikopup has an interesting series on this same subject and not to mention Zak George's Dog Training Revolution has an episode as well on this.
In regard to the science part, keep in mind that when you are training your dog the science is always the same; what varies between each dog are things like motivation, perseverance, intelligence, temperament, disposition, etc. Being able to adjust for each dog’s specific needs is considered the art of dog training.
Because of this, not all techniques work on all dogs; and as a result, you have to be able to adjust accordingly. For example, a dog with a very high level of perseverance will continue to work through a difficult task to get a reward-while other dogs may give up early.
We can also use this to stop specific behavioral issues such as chewing on the furniture or playing too rough with another dog. We follow the same idea of saying “Wrong” then applying the pressure, and releasing the pressure when the dog does what we wish.
Remember, positive reinforcement is limited by how much the dog
wants the reward, but negative reinforcement means the dog is given
no choice but to comply (and learn).

I have been able to successfully enforce one barrier with my dog (German Shepard husky) which is the kitchen. He doesn't seem to mind the barrier. However, any barrier I try to make where he really wants to be close to me or feels more comfortable is harder to enforce. He is very willful. It's especially hard with the rug in my room where he knows he's not allowed on it but he will lay on it while I'm sleeping.
I could watch you train all day…well on my days off/spare time I usually do lol being a dog trainer myself it’s so nice to see another trainer communicate so clear with their dog. You’re the go to guy I tell my clients to watch and study…keep up the fantastic work
I totally agree, if you have a great relationship and clear communication with your dog, they learn faster. And it is easier for them to pick up on new commands too.
Absolutely! Thanks, B K!
A big thank you from the lockdown capital of the entire universe; Melbourne Australia. My pup Bella and I really appreciate these lessons.
Thanks! I'm happy the videos have been helpful. :)
I wish everyone watched your videos, so the owners would know how to effectively communicate with their dogs.
My mom and I observed this guy the other day trying to get his dog to come to him and the dog had the blank look. The dog did not know what to do. The guy went and grabbed the dogs ear and he was yanking and pulling the dogs ear to try to get the dog to come closer to him. And when that didn't work, he started to open handed hit the dog in the head.
I am glad that I reported him to the police. Hopefully they find the dog a good, loving home.
What upset me even more was that he actually did this 2 different times within about 5 minutes.
And he even told the cop that he thinks it is okay because his dog was not listening when he called him. So he forces the dog to do what he is told to do.
Yeah, that's unfortunate that some people treat their dogs that way. We just have to keep doing our best to share proper training techniques, so hopefully these types of actions will become a thing of the past.
Wow, does that dog have like 200 IQ..? :o He learned this super fast!!! I'm planning to get a doggie later this year. It will be a while before I'm ready to get it due to life circumstances, but I'm already researching which breed would best adopt to my lifestyle and making training plans to keep him a happy, well behaved, healthy pet. I enjoy these videos so much! Thank you 🐕🙏
Thanks! Yes, they learn fast when all the communication channels have been developed. 😁
Great video Nate. I have watched most of the trainers on YT and you are the best. I don't know how you don't have millions of subscribers instead of 100k.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. :)
Same here with the nate being the best on yt
I’ve been using your training techniques ever since we adopted our beautiful Kara (gsd.) I always get compliments on how spectacularly well behaved she is. She’s still a puppy, and there’s a long way to go and plenty more for her to learn, but I will always be grateful for your amazing lessons. I learned even more with just this 12 minute tutorial, and I look forward to reinforcing the front and back door barriers she already understands in our new home :)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I love hearing success stories! :)
I’m always amazed how quickly dogs learn. If only we could train the humans as quickly 🤣. Another fab session Nate 👏🏻👏🏻
Lol! Thanks!
Yeah, dogs learn faster after knowing some tricks. They know you’re trying to teach them something. They’re trying to figure out what you want them to do.
Once the dog understands how to learn, teaching them other commands is easy.
Thanks for the awesome video!
Thank you
Thank you. really great exercise. Helped a lot with my Malinois Marshall, who get running out the property gate. It took him a few minutes and he's got the concept already. Will keep doing it of course to make 100%. Greetings from South Africa.
I will try this excersize right now!!
Congratulations on your well deserved 100k. Next 100k will be here soon! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping many dog owners. If all dog owners are committed to learn and train their dogs, there will be much less dogs in shelters.
Awesome! Thank you! And yes, I couldn't agree more. A trained dog is more often than not, a dog that is safe from going to the shelters.
tbh this comment confused me so much, I thought he already had at least 300k. I had to go and check and was shocked that he has a third of that. I totally agree though, the 100k is very well deserved and I'm sure the channel will continue to grow
@@lukaphoenix1568 I know. One of best dog training channels.
Another phenomenal video. Thank you Nate.
Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Love how quickly your able to show results with just a few minutes of training! Impressive!
Thanks, Brad!
Great video! Your explanations are so easy to understand and follow!
Awesome! Thanks, AI!
Wow bro. It is truly awesome watching you work. Definitely learning a lot from your content, Nate. Thank you.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Excellent! Being consistent is key. It looks so easy when you are training! 💞
Yes, and Thank you! I couldn't agree more! Consistency is so important.
Awesome stuff. You have great communication with all your dogs
Thanks, Tim! :)
Your training videos have been extremely helpful, thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the video is helpful. :)
Thank you it has helped me
Congrats on 100k subs! ♥️
Thank you, Rochana! :)
As usual, perfect video , explanation and very useful commend
Thanks Nate
Thank you, bek! I appreciate that! :)
great stuff Nate
Thanks, Doug!
100k subscribers Congratulations many more to come! Great video my next thing to teach my dog😀
Yay! Thank you so much, G K! 😀
This was so helpful! I learned some new things that will definitely help me work on my training. Would love your tips on how to keep a dog out of a much larger boundary, like a pool area? Do you have any videos on these types of settings? Thanks for such a great video!
Your videos are great!!! Thank you
Thank you, I really appreciate that! :)
Thank you!!
My pleasure, and thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi, Nate, thank you so much for your Videos. I have a 4 Mo old golden retriever and he is a lot of work 🤣
So Glad I found you. Greetings from Romania!
Awesome! Thank you and congrats on the new puppy! :)
Thank you so much I’ve been looking on how to teach this
Thanks! I'm happy the video was helpful! :)
Another great upload!
Thank you again, Drake! :)
You are the best ! 🙌
Thank you so much, Mary! I was lucky enough to learn from some of the best! :)
This was greats trying today
Great vid. Can’t wait for the another training video again 😂😁
Thanks, Nina! 😁
Great vid! I tried this with our new foster German Shepherd, it worked quickly, except for when we're out of sight, then he wonders around past the boundary.. I can't seem to work out how to stop that even if I reiterate the boundary.
Masterful
Thank you! :)
thank you for this
Our Doberman won’t stay out of our kitchen when we’re cooking lol I know this will help us
Yay! I'm sure this will work great with him. Let me know how it goes. :)
Awesome
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great idea and routine..thank you..we will have a go..
Thanks, Jennifer! :)
I love this one too 😁
Thanks, Jonathan!
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
I don't know that the changing lanes example works for most people, haha. I like using Stay for everything, rather than a Stay and Wait command for different situations. Thank you for all your awesome content! I've been watching like crazy.
Thanks, Ryan. I appreciate that!
Nate, after the dog has learnt this, I guess it's then ok to invite the dog past the barrier when you're happy for them to come to you? Otherwise my dog will never want to leave through the garden gate 😂 great video thank you!
Absolutely! Lol!
My life saver .. am going to try this with my pup. Kitchen is out of bounds.. the videos are awesome
Awesome! Thanks for watching and I'm happy the videos are helping. :)
Very good
Thanks, Sompei!
Awesome video
Thank you so much, Julie! :)
Great video! Also many tvs in that room ;)
Great video! Would you add or change anything with this exercise for outdoor use?
Great video Nate! Can you explain a little more when I should be using Wrong vs the No command? Maybe provide an example or two. Thanks.
Yes.
Wrong = leash pressure
No = correction
ua-cam.com/video/7CNjxTnsh8Y/v-deo.html
Very impressive
Thank you so much! :)
congrats on 100k!
i've done a bit of this with my impatient dog. the kitchen is the place he's not allowed. the weird thing is that sometimes he won't come in but other times he will. what he never ever does is go after a toy that has gone into the kitchen. not sure why that's different for him. if we do try to keep him out of the kitchen with a promise of a reward, he gets impatient and starts arguing that it was long enough lol. of course i still make him wait and not give him anything until i'm satisfied with the amount of time he's waited. not sure if that's right. anyway, is that 2nd dog a collie? i think my dog is half that half german shep.
Thanks! Yes, you wouldn't want to reward your dog when he is "being impatient and arguing". You want to reward him, when he is doing the correct behavior. Yes, the second dog was a collie. :) Cheers!
You are such an awesome trainer. I really wanted a help regarding my dog being very aggressive I mean when I play with him he bites rather than playing so please make a video on it !! Thank you
Thanks! Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/IAfafjM6XyM/v-deo.html
This video was great, but would you please do an extended version for something like staying in a yard?
Again love your videos! My puppy has made amazing progress!! I talk about your videos all the time to people! Trying to help the brand🤘🏻 I did have a question about this one. My puppy doesn’t well with this when she doesn’t have a toy. But once she has her stuffed moose she B-lines it to out rug/couch area. I even started the training on dropping a toy but she will not give it up. I don’t want to take the toy away because she is having fun but I’m not sure what else to try.
Thanks! You can teach her a drop it command. ua-cam.com/video/MbVJJA5wy1Q/v-deo.html
Love it. Keep the videos coming. Very helpful.
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you so much! Does this also work to keep them from leaving the house when the door is open/without command?
Amazing. I've been planning to get a Shepard for a while but I don't want to go straight into getting a puppy then having no idea what and how I'm going to train the pup. Never had a dog before but I have helped train friends dogs and taking care of peoples when they go on holiday.
Thanks! I'm happy the video is helpful. :)
Lol im not gonna lie to you brother 😅😅😅 i am one of those " sstaaayyyyyyy " type of people and i never knew 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #TheMoreYouLearn 😅😅
Lol! I used to do that as well before I became a professional dog trainer.
Great Video! I pretty sure I saw other videos of you telling viewers you use the dogs food instead of treats. Are you using each dogs food or treats for this training? If your using treats what kind are best and not too expensive? Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, you can see most of the products that I use with my dogs here, including treats and food: www.nateschoemer.com/store
Just stumbled on this for my new pup. I rofl when yw did the "wtaqqqy, stay stwy" command. That is me 😂.
Do you have a video on how to teach break?
Just say the word and then praise your dog. Your dog will instinctively break the position and come to you. You can also teach it the same way as the terminal marker; just remove the reward when the dog learns to release itself after the release word. ua-cam.com/video/UkZ7ucpK9sc/v-deo.html
Thanks for this great video! We taught our Aussie this the same way for the kitchen. She's fantastic when my husband or I are physically in the kitchen, but once we're out of the room she thinks she can go in as she pleases. We've put a long line back on her to hold when we're out of eyesight (because if she sees us watching her, she typically won't go in). Any tips for reinforcing this barrier when you're not present?
Yes, set them up so you can reinforce expectations. I would leave the kitchen and I would watch the dog. the moment the dog makes the mistake, I would reinforce expectations as demonstrated in the video. :)
@@NateSchoemer this is exactly what I was wondering! Makes sense, thanks!!
Good voice.
Thanks, Joshua! :)
Nate I love this. I have a Siamese cat, who often helps with distraction training for my GSD pup. Could you do a video on teaching the dog to leave the cat alone?
Yes I have cats and I might be getting a dog soon that would help sooo much!
Thanks! If I get a cat, I will make a video on that, for sure! However, the way the dog acts towards the cat will determine the best approach. If the dog is aggressive, I will correct the dog, making sure the dog knows it's not an okay behavior. If it's a playful response to the cat, I would just teach the dog boundaries, basically an invisible bubble around the cat that I would reinforce the same way as I did in this video. I also don't allow dogs to chase cats, play, or otherwise. Lastly, I teach the dog that he can't go into a specific spot that the cat can go to. It's good that the cat always has a location they can go to to get away from the dog.
@@NateSchoemer that’s a great reply thank you. Yeah it’s playful. But the pup is 15kg and the cat is 3kg 😂.
I thought maybe an E collar would help with the invisible bubble idea?
When I’m training it’s perfect, but just throughout a normal day some point the cat runs and the dogs chases 😂.
I’ll try the bubble training like the doorway. Thanks 🤩.
@@lilbudgies894 e collar is great but not to teach a behavior. Think of an ecollar as an extension cord for your dog. They must already know the skills otherwise its just confusing. you can do it!
4:15 Yeah, ha, cool.
Thanks, Joshua! :)
Edu good
Thank you so much!
Nate, do you use the two tvs in the floor for training, and if so what different things can you teach with them?
Lol! No. We've been trying to sell them, but no one wants to buy a tv anymore if it's not a smart tv.
I was wondering if you had any lessons for on leash aggression toward other dogs?

Hi Nate - new member. Your videos have been so helpful! We have a 17 week Golden Retriever. I've been using your videos since about week 12 and he's doing great - when we're in "training sessions" aka treats. For example he picked up the invisible Barrier idea really well for our kitchen even using leash pressure... But in the course of a normal life, he will forget all of that enter the kitchen. i use his leash to redirect but clearly it doesn't have the same sticking power as when I have my treat pouch. Is this an age thing (how much can I really expect for a 17 week old) or am I doing something wrong?
There are several strategies you can employ, each dependent on your dog's current understanding of commands and reinforcements:
If your dog:
1) Responds to the 'wrong' marker (Negative Reinforcement) by going back.
You can introduce a correction for reliability. When the dog breaks the Barrier, say 'no' instead of 'wrong'. This serves as a marker for positive punishment or correction. Then, correct the dog using a leash pop or a remote training collar (ensure the dog understands the correction is from you). After correction, reissue the command and assist the dog if needed. Follow this regardless of the dog's reaction to 'no'.
If your dog:
2) Doesn't exit the kitchen when 'wrong' is used.
Continue using 'wrong' when the dog breaks and guide them back until they start going back without your physical cue. Once you observe this, you can start implementing corrections for reliability.
I usually start adding corrections in a dogs obedience training when they are 5 months of age or older. Up to that point, I continue to use the "wrong" marker instead of "no".
I hope this helps!
Nate, when do you introduce the word "wrong" in puppy training? How is it different than "no"? Do you happen to have a video teaching this concept?
That must be the TV-room. :)
Hahaha! Yup!
good information, but why is there 3 flat screens in the living room? having an xbox party?
Hahaha! Those are old TVs that we're trying to get rid of. No one wants TVs anymore if they're not smart TVs. 😂😂
Hi Nate! I just adopted a two months old puppy and it is getting really hard for me to stop him when my cats are eating their food. My puppy is desperate to eat their food even though he has already eaten. Do you think this excersice will help my puppy to stop doing that? Creating a barrier between him and my cats food? Thanks 💕💕💕💕
Great video, but, the moment I dont have treats on me or when me and the puppy are not in a training context, he walks in the room hes not supposed to. We dont want him in bedrooms and the laundry room(thats where we store his food). Question: In training should I do all those undesired entry rooms at once or one room per session. We also dont want him on the couch and trying to climb on the counter, is there a way to apply similar techniques with the leash as in this video? BTW we have a 4 month old japanese Akita.
Yes. Check out the videos below:
If this then that: ua-cam.com/video/bPkW3SWblfM/v-deo.html
The same process goes with furniture: ua-cam.com/video/PL482q8E0W4/v-deo.html
Dog training without treats: ua-cam.com/video/3LYCO9ITmqk/v-deo.html
Oh boy my 9 month old cocker spaniel is too intelligent for his own good. He picked this up straight away in regards to our kitchen, wouldn't dare cross the barrier from the get go, knows exactly what I want and how to get a treat. Next minute I'm in the lounge and he's in the kitchen sniffing around like it's no ones business lol, I cannot imagine him actually not entering the kitchen when I'm not right there. His food drive is way too strong, a telling off is worth a few crumbs on the kitchen floor 😂
Lol
I've always been a tad confused when you would use wrong vs no. Like wrong is used here but if it were a sit stay you would use no
It just depends on where the dog is in the training. If they're still learning, I use wrong and then reinforce with leash pressure. If they know the rules and commands, then I would use no and I would follow it with a correction. Cheers!
Nate, once again outstanding videos can you help me I want to find a trainer just like you Lol to work with me & dog I'm in Oakland CA. This is tuff I know you trust what you do everyone has a add
Thanks! I would highly recommend Michael Ellis. He's incredible! michaelellisschool.com/
at what age/stage of training w/ the puppy can you teach leash pressure - so it doesn't damage your relationship w/ them?
What Ivan said. :) www.nateschoemer.com/post/how-to-properly-socializing-your-dog
First comment is me.. Very helpful to us because I have a pet also..contenue doing tutorials. And keep safe every one..
Awesome! Thanks again for commenting and supporting the channel! :)
Very good content man! So is "break" a terminal marker? Because you said "free" was Arih's, but you also said the word break too after?
Ivan said it perfectly! :)
Great we'll start this weekend!! Hey Nate, when I'm walking my GS (3mths old) he stops directly in front of me and refuses to walk anymore. It takes awhile for him to get back into the grove. Have a clue what his deal is?
FYI... I do the whole exaggerated stay command thing! Hands out, knees bent and all!! 😂😂😂😂

@@ivanhacks Very understandable Thanks! Both of you!! I thought our walks were too long! 🤗
@@NateSchoemer Got it 👍🏽 We'll jump on the Road to Success!!
Can you tell please what treats do you use ?
Thanks! Yes, you can see most of the products that I use with my dogs here, including treats and food: www.nateschoemer.com/store
I was wondering would this work outside like if i wanted the road to be my boundary? Because my yard is not fenced in so could i teach my dog this outside? would it work the same?
Yes! The process would be the same! :) Just be careful and safe, since it's outside. I would also suggest a long line. :)
Can this same strategy be used for furniture? Like a bed or a sofa?
Yes! I actually posted a video on that last week. It's basically the same thing. ua-cam.com/video/PL482q8E0W4/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
What breed is this beautiful dog?
Hello Nate. I like your methods. I am a rescuer on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. I recently adopted one of my rescues. She is five months old and very smart. She is eager to please. So the idea came to me to train her for a specific job…to search for puppies/kittens hiding in trash and rubble at the dumps/landfills. The first thing i need to do is teach her not to touch anything that i personally don’t give her, since if she is going to run around the landfill looking for hiding critters I can’t have her being tempted to eat anything that can harm her. All the videos i have seen on the topic are either nonsense or use shock collars, and i would like to avoid that. Can you make a video showing how to train a dog not to touch anything but what the owner feeds them? Please? Thank you.
“I’d rather act normal.” 😂😂😂
How would I create outside boundaries
As long as there is a clear boundary marker, then you can create barriers. People will often use stake flags. :)
Such a massive flex to have 3 giant flatscreen TVs in the background of your video.
Hahaha! Those are old TVs that we're trying to get rid of. No one wants TVs anymore if they're not smart TVs. 😂😂
It works if your dog is expensive. My do is regular village dog wont heed to any barrier
Witch city u make your videos at, it always looks sunny and nice mountains 🌄 🌄😜
Thanks! I'm located in Los Angeles.
@@NateSchoemer I've learned a lot , about 🐶 dogs
Heyo! I've got a question. I'm going to stay with my aunt for the summer, and she has a large property and a standard poodle. Since the poodle loves to run, and is typically very well behaved, she is often allowed to go outside off-leash and relatively unsupervised. However, there's some new neighbours across the street and they have kids who play out in the yard, and she finds them extremely exciting and will run over to play with them. Obviously this isn't safe, so she's had to learn to deal with some tighter restrictions on her freedom, but she's definitely sad about it, and aside from once every few months she doesn't go near the road. Would this barrier training technique work if we worked on it by the shoulder of the road? The grass to gravel would make a good visual and textile barrier, so I think that would be relatively easy to transfer the concept over the whole street, as the large property does have a fair bit of road in front of it (which is also partially why it's not fenced, because it'd cost a fortune and then the farm equipment couldn't get in). I don't plan on starting off with teaching her this of course, I'm going to get her used to working with me and make sure we have solid communication and probably use this tactic to teach her to stay out of the garden before trying on something more high-stakes like the road. If anyone has any tips or alternate approaches to making sure she stays safely on her property I would really appreciate it! (I'm going to be staying with her for nearly 4 months, so I have time to try different methods or more long-term techniques. I really just want to make sure she's safe and healthy while also being as happy as possible)
Yes, you can use this to teach your dog not to run into the street. It may take a lot of reps, so you'll need to be patient with it. Cheers!
@@NateSchoemer fantastic! thank you so much :D
How can I train my dog to not leave the yard when the gate is open outside
It's the same process as demonstrated in this video. Thanks for watching!
@@NateSchoemer thanks 😊
I wish the cameraman would back up so that both the trainer AND THE DOG are in the frame for the whole video. Less ceiling, more dog please!
Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated! :)
Nate can you just come and teach my dog lol I feel like I’m not going to be able to teach my puppy well
Lol! You can do it! It's just like anything else. All things are difficult before they become easy. :)
@@NateSchoemer Nate, I could not agree more.
I used this for my dogs to not go outside when the door is open unless I say so
My kids and gf Got Rabbits.. whats the best Way to learn the dog not to wanna eat Them?
I'm sure the danger level would depend on the dog. If it's a really high risk, then I would keep them separated. If it's a really friendly dog and you're just worried about the dog accidentally hurting the rabbit with play, then you can teach the dog boundaries. However, I personally wouldn't risk it, and I would keep the rabbits away from the dog.
