Happy Training!
Great job, love seeing a deaf dog in videos, just do more in the disability area. I have a blind old dog. prayers.
I LOVE how you use real dogs who can’t do the task before being trained. Your videos have saved me.
I like the way you used a dog the was challenging and obviously distracted vs a border collie that learns in a second. Thank you!
The progress that this lady is making with this dog so quickly is amazing !
Watching the master at work! To be fair, it's a process and this will not stick with the dog after 1 session. It'll take quite a few.
Carol is my favourite handler, fantastic video!
Wow, this is EXACTLY the video I needed today !!!
I love these new videos that showcase how the trainers problem solve! AWESOME job you guys!!!
You are a great trainer! Love this.
Great to see this! Working on this with my deaf pup.
This has been extremely helpful!! Thank you!!
You mam have wonderful patients and seem like a very loving and caring individual. Bravo
I also love the way you Canadians say, “Yas”…. Love it! I want to visit!
Do we Canadians really sound like we're saying, "Yas"? That's funny.
@@hippopotatomoose “Yas” you do, and I love it!!
I absolutely love your channel! I don't have a pet however i have always wanted to be a dog trainer. your techniques are wonderful, i appreciate that you break down step by step instructions along with why and how the dog comprehends the actions.
do you have a training school or instructor in new york city?
Fantastic video as always! As an urban/suburban puppy, leash walking and distraction training are only things that are easier for us. Waiting to be ready to walk was not an option for us if wanted to outside potty train. And at 5 months she is awesome, aside from the occasional squirrel, she knows to pay attention. When we see a person or car or another dog, she literally sits and looks at me for direction. Crate training on the other hand - we gave up - shared walls.
We have a quick exit but the only dog approved entrance to our building is a 4 minute walk with other dogs, squirrels, neighborhood cats, construction workers, people, birds, leaf blowers. But at this point it is no big deal her. 🤷🏻♀️
For crate training in a city with shared walls what helped me at first was ONLY letting her eat in the crate or sleep near it or on it near me in my room at first. Also blackout cover helps. Put all her toys ion there. Add some clothes that smell like her, and train her to sit in the crate for high value treats. Eventually she associated it with food and started napping in there, and now when its time for bed time she goes in without a fuss. Also make sure the crate is big enough and put a really comfortable sleeping pad in there! None of this wouldve worked if i had not gotten here a really comfy mattress pad. (dogs like to be comfortable too!)
He can't hear what is said, but he can see the reaction on her face and body language, which also reinforces like "yes".
💕🐕🦺LOVE times infinity!!!!!!!🙏🏽God bless Scout in all his endeavors!!💖✨
Iconic dog training right here
I’m so grateful for your videos! You guys are excellent and I’ve learnt so much. We have a golden puppy at home, it’s been 3 days since we have him and I use your training tips for his training! He is doing amazing🎉 Today he tried to hump my leg when I played with him downstairs. He was maybe over excited, Could you please kindly share some tips how to prevent the humping/mounting and what to do if it happens? :)
When it happened, I pushed him away and said no
Our hound breed a Black Mouth Cur has a strong prey instinct. She ignores treats when focused on a small animal or another dog. Will try this practice today. Thank you!
Samsies. And ours is a big boi at 85 lbs.
I have two cur pit mixes. It's a lot of work on distraction training.
This treat training doesn’t address obligation to perform tasks the dogs knows. It’s a good way to show the dog expectations, and the expectations are fun and in its best interest, but eventually the dog will need to understand it has an obligation to perform things irregardless or actual distractions - like a squirrel.
Only using this training method takes literal years and is often not very consistent.
As you point out, most dogs who have a little drive in them quickly become uninterested in food when a real competing motivator is in play.
This is why properly introducing aversives like a prong or e collar is highly useful in dogs.
I have a hound dog myself who looses her mind over small game. However, she is able to be completely off leash (with an e collar on) - as she has come to understand that she is a okay tk chase a squirrel or rabbit, but only when she is instructed to do so.
Embracing your dogs genetic tendencies and using positive and negative reinforcements and punishments is the only way to get a dog who clearly understand that there is a time for prey and a time for attention. And my dog is a happy go lucky dog who enjoys listening to me, as she knows there are good things in it for her when she does.
Very simple stuff, this video technique only shows you the literal first step of getting a dogs attention on you for a few moments at a time lol.
@@conorlinehan4434 well, there are countries where ecollars, prong collars and choke collars are forbidden by law.
Dogs are so smart. Great training tips! I’m hoping to get a golden retriever pup if I can just convince my husband ;)
It took a long time until I realized not to feed all kibbles. So i feed him 1/2 only, left another 1/2 in my pocket, he behaves much better when we walk out, he does less pulling and frequently looks back to me for food
Fantastic!
What do you feed your dogs for treats and meals? Thank you
This is great! Having 2 problems. My gal is paying so much attention that she walks into me or she begins walking faster than me and moves ahead of me. Very awkward walk. Any suggestions?
Update 11/31/22: I want to let everyone here know how grateful I am and more of the story. My gal, Annie, was re-homed to hubs and me from a very difficult situation just 7 weeks ago. Annie is a 14 month old Goldendoodle. Don’t think she was exposed much to the outside let alone other people. She was with one person most of the time with an occasional second person. Training has changed so much since I trained our previous dogs so a lot of these much better ways are new to me. We are also on a fixed income so some things have to be put off until it fits in the budget. Health needs first, basic supplies…you all know how it goes. I want you all to know I do not take any of your tips and help for granted! Annie is doing much better with the help you all have provided along with the videos, and a budget friendly in person training at a local pet supply store. In fact she just finished her 4 week session with being recommended for therapy training! We have a little ways to go with socializing but she has not shown any aggression and loves everyone she meets. She’s learning quickly, I’m actually the slow learner 😂 who has made some things awkward but you all have helped me with that! Decembers budget is going towards her spay and an umbilical hernia repair which is on the 5th. Therapy training class is delayed until Januarys budget but that will give time to heal and continue to socialize and re-enforce what we’ve learned already. Thank you all for your support and encouragement!
You could probably use the techniques in this video to build focus on you during walks.
@@francisrodriguez3648 thank you! Am watching all McCann vids related to this. Have not seen any where dog is watching handler and steps into their step causing handler to step on dog or tripping on dog. I do think in person would be of great benefit to us. Is there a facility near Indianapolis, Indiana that teaches McCann method? I know online would be an option but really think in person would be best help for us.
The dog may be expecting the food to come from the front of you, feeding position is important
@@sophieelliott6031 makes perfect sense. The treat dispenser is usually right there and I slide it to my back but it’s hard to get treats out and ends up back at the front. I’ll try to pay closer attention to this. Thank you!
@@robinrutherfordcost4748 yes it does! Noticed the trainer was holding the treat similar to how you mention and my gal never ran ahead of her. The seam reference will help me remember where to put my hand. Thank you so much!
Canadians - so nice!
Very informative. Thank you. I got a question. What breed is this dog ?
Ok. I should have watched to whole video first 🤦🏽♀️. Thank you
@@trevorjennings72 thank you very much. I’m doing great hope you are. Sitting here trying to train my baby 😵💫😂
Thank you very much for the video! What is the breed of this puppy :)
My jack Russell x Pug simply doesn't regard any treat when outside. He'll drop it on the floor and carry on. Not sure how to solve this
We adopted a rescued dog 6 weeks ago. She is 3 years old and apparently had good training in her first two years. She was trained to sit, stay, lie down, come, wait, and stop. But I haven't discovered her break or ok command that allows her to eat her regular food in a bowl. She always waits as though she needs a break command before she can proceed to eat. What are the variations of this command?
Free and Take a Break are two other forms of the cue.
Once you have a dog that is food motivated it is easy. The problem is when your dog is shy and not interested in food . None of the trainers have those kind of puppies/dogs on the videos
maybe a toy
@@Liann888 very true - I have a poodle and she couldn’t care less about any food whatsoever lol. If I have a ball or a toy in hand though, she would build a rocket ship to the moon for it 😂
Balanced trainers do. This is nonsense
Have you tried peanut butter? Never met a dog that ignores peanut butter
My frenchie doesn't care about anything but other dogs if they're about. He'll do anything for a treat at home but not on walks or around other people's dogs. He can do every trick I've come across so it's not like he doesn't understand 😂😂😂😭
My dog doesn’t care about treats on walks. She is too busy foraging in the ditches. I struggle to compete with horse poo! Sigh. We are trying out toys but she over arouses so easily. A weighted back pack really helps her focus though.
A long line may help (not a flexi lead, that teaches dogs to pull). Clip it to the back of your dog so they dont trip on it. During their exploration time, keep letting the leash out and bringing it back it so it's always got a bit of slack but isnt on the ground. When you ask for recall, don't give them any more line. They can only come towards you, make yourself super exciting with a high pitch voice and big arm movements.
What is the 80 20 rule in dog training?
Sadly my pup’s food motivation dropped significantly when he’s outside. 😢
Do you know it’s crazy after two years of learning all the mistakes I made of raising my dog and as much as I’ve been able to teach him I wish I can go back in time and really spend good amount of time building his focus the right way I’m not proud of the mistakes I made and I know if I got the same dog as a puppy all over again he would be a freaking rockstar and it’s so discouraging it’s so much harder
It's not shameful to make mistakes; it's an indicator of how far you have come as a trainer. I hope you ALWAYS look back on things you could have improved, because that means you know better. Each dog you will make improvements, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes and improve again.
Your current dog can still be a rockstar; mine is, no he doesn't have a perfect show heel, yes he occasionally jumps up to greet people (small dog) but he has gone from unruly rescue to my public access assistance dog (UK). If you put in the time, they will shine.
My first dog chocolate was blind and deaf
Any help specifically for a husky? Ours loves to ignore us, and doesn't pay any mind to food outdoors. Also doesn't listen to us asking for him to sit outside lol.
Start inside, be sure he’s hungry , after he gets is inside, move outside t an area with few distractions
@@lillieberger2883 mine does everything at home and in low distraction places. The moment we go for walk he starts sniffing and ignores us when other animals are at sight. Treats and toys don‘t work either.
My dog is not food motivated and a very picky eater, what can I do to get its attention without using treats.
With all training potentially needing treats, how many treats are too many in a day..??
Now THAT'S the kind of dog that acts like mine....
What is the dog's breed?
My dog just bites the leash and doesn’t let me walk him how can I teach him so we go for walks especially when the weather gets warmer
Watching all these great videos with a non-food motivated dog wondering how to overcome this?
Find your dog's rewards, maybe fuss, maybe toys. There's also "Life Rewards" such as going for a walk. The dog doesn't get to go through the door until he holds a wait. They can't pull you towards that tree to sniff it; they've got to return to your side so you can walk over together.
You need to find out what he’s interested in and become the ”gate keeper” for that. Try playing with different toys and keep the ones he loves best hidden from him, so he only gets to play with them with you. I’v also heard you can use sniffing as a reward. So when he gives you attention, you let him sniff a while.
How do I get my dogs attention if she has no interest in treats while outside?
Cassandra is no longer alive
Can you do the same training on a dog that is deaf
Watch past 9: the dog in video is deaf.
@@sonnyreeves8123 will do. Thank you
@@sonnyreeves8123 if the wind blow my dog attention is gone lol
This is great. But, if you are working with a puppy that will be herding dog -- one that should be able to work without having to look at the handler for everything, would you do anything differently?
Hi there! No, if your dog has strong eye, he/she won’t have any problems working independently. These skills are so different than what’s required of the dog when herding, there is no concern of confusion. As long as the dog has eye for the stock. You should check out some of our sheep herding content! I think you’ll enjoy it! Happy Training.
Where do we practice this? I have to walk down a street/cross the street/go past people, dogs, cats etc on the way to the park... If you dont have a big house and garden?? When we are training in the house she will pay attention while i have treats, but wont listen unless she seesa me holding the treat, and as soon as we go outside me & treats have no value...
If you’re in an apartment or condo, maybe an area in the building with moderate to low foot traffic. Anywhere that’s not inside the familiar home!
Unusually my Golden Retriever isn’t very food orientated! What then?🇬🇧
What’s his breed?, I just met a dog in a shelter for adoption and looks very much alike him but I couldn’t figure the breed and thought of being a mixed breed
If my dog sees another dog it’s like I no longer exist. Tried everything.
You are too close; keep moving back until your dog will break their stare. Find your dog's working distance, which may be a couple hundred feet or more

My dog is impossible. I cannot take treats with me because she'll bury her head in my pocket until she gets the treats. She pays no attention to me saying No or Wait or anything. She would fight you (not aggressively) for the bowl and win. Any suggestions?
Obviously you both need to work with a trainer
Teach her the "leave it" command. Many videos about this online.
Use her behaviour to your advantage. Hold a treat in your closed fist. Let her lick/shove/nibble in vain. Watch for that millisecond of her bringing her nose away and open your hand so she can have the treat. It's going to take a few tries for her to start honing in on what's opening the hand. When she starts to intentionally pull away for a moment, say yes then open the hand. After a while you can start to introduce "leave it" and eventually work up to giving her the comment before you even offer the treat. When she has waited long enough (you can see when they are close to breaking) give her the release word.
@leejennifercorlewayres9193 she knows the command but chooses to not obey it. She's very hard headed. She knows many commands, but she makes DECISIONS on her own.
@kutanra740 thank you we've actually tried that but maybe more of it is needed. Thanks for your reply.
The reason I take my dog for a walk in the first place, is so she can explore and take in all the new scents since the last time. She is a partner to me, not a servant.
Exactly, but still if that leash ever breaks sOmhOw... U gotta get the dog's attention
Right, a partnership. Meaning working with not against. A dog dragging you down the street chasing after a scent is not a partnership, it’s working against you. A dog taking a moment to check in with you or asking to chase that scent is working with you. A dog worrying about other folks walking a cross the street is t working with you nor are you making that dog feel
Safe. A dog checking in with you and paying attention to you feels safe.
If you don't train your dog, YOU will be the servant.
@@robertmcauslan6191 It's physically impossible for the dog to drag me anywhere, I do let her lead and determine the direction of the adventure under my slight guidance. I've trained her to stay in front of me where I can keep my I on her to verify there are no physical issues with how she's moving and conducting herself. She also has to have the confidence to make independent decisions on the property chasing off critters and intruders.
@@5stardave LOL you don't have to train a dog to stay in front of you, they do it naturally. b
But your not always going to have treats though
I mean that's on you for not always bringing some treats on your walks
@@esmeraldavanderlaan3076 so the dog only does what you want if you got a treat on you ?
TREATS AND PRAISE ARE USED TO TRAIN - THEN WHEN YOUR DOG IS TRAINED AND DOES WHAT IS EXPECTED - THEY CAN BE WEANED OFF THE TREATS !
YOU SURELY DO NOT THINK THAT DOGS FALL INTO 2 TYPES - THOSE WHO AUTOMATICALLY BEHAVE PERFECTLY AND OTHERS WHO DON'T !
THIS IS CALL "DOG TRAINING" - NOT "TREAT GIVING" - AND IT REQUIRES EFFORT /TIME / REPETITION AND PATIENCE.
My dog is not good motivated whatsoever. What then?
Try steak 🥩.
The word ‘good’ is supposed to be ‘food’ in my previous post and I have tried steak, I have tried everything!
Try toys - they have videos about this, what to do when dog not food motivated. Good luck! I’m realizing my puppy isn’t really food motivated and it’s a whole new world, I hadn’t even realized that was a thing until I was watching these videos last month lol.
@@leishaedwards6284 Oh, wow. Steak even works on me. 😖
I have this problem too. Not food motivated, not toy motivated. Not even steak, I've tried. Absolutely nothing gets or keeps his attention on me.
That will never teach your dog how to behave properly when leash walking. I can guarantee you will fail if you use this method.
I disagree. I used this exact method to teach my dog. It works beautifully.
I simply refuse to be able to influence my dog only if it knows I have food - and believe me, even the most stupid dog when he is over a few months of training, simply knows.
I have been in dog training for 36 years, working with aggressive protection dogs.
We tried it all, we use instrumental conditioning all the time, but we want real control.
Training dogs without aversives is also a reason that GB is not a recognized force in police and army dog training.
