I would always use the tools you don't like but at the same time I tightly control access to situations that are too much for the dog and therefore minimize the higher level tools.
Trying to train my 5 year old Male Australian Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle mix rescue .... so scared of everything still ... it's been 6 months so far ..
Control of the environment is critical to training and when training isnt there yet, and often the handler cant control the environment in this unpredictable world.
So helpful. My border collie is so obedient, so happy to do stuff with me and SO DRIVEN to the stock!!!! Unfortunately I do not have a fenced yard, just the barn yard. Keeping her tied to me is such a drag when I'm doing chores. I tie her and she tolerates it. Need more hours in the day to give her dedicated time beyond herding. Oy.
My dog does not value rewards. He's a gsd mixed Siberian husky. He values praises only. One word "you're the best" and he's beyond happy and will run to me. I'm not even sure how that happened. My 1st dog. Got kinda lucky.
@@FarmerFpv I've considered that. I went to a shelter to find a mate for my dog and there was a very aggresive dog nobody wanted to go near. I got there and I said," hey boy your such a good boy. Hey how you doing?" Next thing he started wagging his tail and licked my hands. I don't know but I think you are right. All my life dogs loved me. But then I was an orphan on the streets and struggled as homeless for sometime and went from foster home to foster homes. I feared nobody or anything and was living among homeless dogs too. I wonder if this is why? Thanks for advice.
Susan was allowing her dog to chew the blanket/cushion. Does anyone have experience allowing their dog to do this with one cushion and the dog knows not to chew others? I’m concerned that if I allow it my dog will want to chew all throws/cushions..
If you restrict their access with baby gates, doors and crates inside and the dog doesn’t have free access to the yard how do you exercise a new dog or puppy?
She mentioned increased restriction only when you have no control when a dog meets their specific natural vices. She said sometimes you have to start reward training in a zone where there is nothing interesting to the dog, like a bathroom. But when it comes to exercising a new dog, use a head halter/leash/anything that allows you to have more control when on walks.
My Cardigan Welsh Corgi is obsessively reactive to many, many environmental stimulants; dogs, bicycles, walking people, squirrels, cats, everything. I cannot, not walk her on a leash. She pulls and chokes herself and she pulls, pulls, pulls. With treats I can gain her attention away from most environmental stimuli, and she will Heel and not pull, but if I don’t have treats, not as effective. She is definitely better than she was, but is still out of control. I cannot see how your plan would work for her as she must walk on a leash where I live, I don’t own property, so I have to walk her to and from the dog park. I am taking her to obedience class, she is learning Tracking and we just started Foundations of Agility three weeks ago. My agility trainer recommended your videos, as we will be RVing all winter so we won’t be able to go to our regular classes. How can I sign up for your online ‘Recallers’ course? Thanks, Cheri
You need a plan for the reactivity or your dog won't be able to focus during agility or a trial. Food works the best for reactivity but you need a strategic plan. Waving food in front of her nose won't work.
Have you tried walking your dog and changing directions every time the leash gets tight and rewarding when she is calm? That's how I and my rescue dog overcame that distraction pulling now she is excellent off-leash. Takes a lot of patience.
Susan , what do you think of dog parks? I have been repeated how important socialization is for puppies. Is it a good or bad thing to give them that freedom at the dog park?
I would not use a dog park for socialization. Dog parks are often chaotic, and you don't know what kind of dogs are there. All the dogs are usually hyper aroused, and are not examples of a well behaved dog. Your puppy might get injured or pick up bad habits from other dogs. I would only let learning puppies interact with CALM adult dogs for socialization. Also, socialization isn't really about interaction, but EXPOSURE. Forcing puppies to interact can backfire and they could end up fearful. Just walking him around the park with different sights, sounds, terrain is great. Keep giving him treats when he is showing calm behavior outside.
@@softcatsocks9618 you know who else doesn't like dog parks? Judges. They see the results of dogs running around free, and a dog owner accepts a certain amount of risk in these places.
You mentioned that you have sport dogs which is great. However, when mentioning "sport dogs" you have to be mindful of other genres of sporting activities. That being said, how many IPO or ring sport dogs have you trained and titled in your entire life? If you're averse to using the prong or ecolor I'm sure the answer would be "none."
They stay away from biting sports and sled dogs even gun dogs. They have no answer for a recall of a greyhound off a rabbit in the suburbs. They avoid the scenario
This is glorious, been searching for "training pet dogs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Cidlerna Barking Banisher - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
There is one thing all dog trainers can agree on...
My puppy loves every twig he can find. So outside training can be difficult.
Use a higher value reward...food - reinforcer.

does "verbal intimidation" include negative markers? how do we get the dog to come back to us if there's no long line?
9:09 is a prong collar one of those ... 🤔 pinch collar

I have a blanket sucker. I honestly thought my girl was odd. I'd never seen it before...I feel better now.

Some people are naturally good at training dogs, they don't even know it. Ever considered volunteering at a shelter?

En Col Petro quiere aplicar todas las fallidas😢
This was a very informative and well explained video. Thank you for this
I so want to get rid of my rescue girl's long line and let her be free!

Oh Swag Man, gots to hold da tug x
a seatbelt on the couch L O L
Her presentation in this video is so obnoxious and loud and shouting that a normal person already skilled at dog handling would turn away from her.
Doug H. in VA Thank you! I’m more confused after watching than I was before.
You're fine with head halters but not pinch collars? Lol oh boy.
I find understanding the difference, and the reason for using head halters but not pinch collars really straightforward. How about you?
Prong collars are a great tool with certain dogs used as an informational tool.
Every dog trainer will tell you the other dog trainers are doing it wrong. lol
