Awesome tutorial Nate. I volunteer at a shelter and some dogs know Zero commands. I have been struggling with the “down” more than the sit and find myself giving up too fast. Watching this made me realize what I’m doing wrong and I’ll implement the tips presented from now on. 👍
Awesome video Nate 👏 My favorite part is when Elvis finally went into the side down without your help, how happy and excited you were and the genuine affection you gave him. I can only imagine how proud of himself he was to make you proud of him 😁🥰❤️
@Nate Schoemer 🤣🤣 thanks for the hype brother. I promise to put my best foot forward and follow each and every single piece of advice you have shared. Thanks Nate, for giving little people like me guidance and a shot at something amazing. Cheers bro.
It is really nice seeing a whole training session from start to finish. A lot of videos will show the basic concept of what they are trying to do, then stop recording and show the end product. I think it is important to see how you work through the middle part! Also, Elvis is such a beautiful dog! He is having so much fun with the training! I really hope he ended up getting adopted!
Thanks! I'm happy you like the training video. He's currently at the Cammies & Canines 280 acre sanctuary. We havent been able to do any home visits due to Covid 19, but he has been having a blast with us. :)
@@NateSchoemer I haven't heard of Cammies & Canines (I'm from Wisconsin), so I looked it up and WOW! I really admire what you are doing! Incredibly inspiring!
I love how the camera may as well not be there. You are totally there for that dog, not the audience. A subtle but very meaningful contrast with most trainers.
What I really like about this one is that it's an untrained rescue dog and not an intelligent Malinois or German Shepherd. Plus the additional commentary really helps bring home some of the points which you see on your other videos, but you can see when they're being applied. Also love seeing your patience, the amount of verbal (and fun) praise you give, and knowing when to stop. All things I'll have to remember when I get my pooch!
Hi Nate, congratulations for your channel and your work! Very often I find myself smiling like a child when I see you having true fun training dogs (like in the piggyback command with Arry). Here I’ve got a little bit confused when you used the “free” marker instead of your classic “yes” marker every time you rewarded Elvis, even if you went towards him and he was static. Cheers man! You rule! Respectfully: Raul PS: Thanks for unveiling the secrets of scent detection! There are very very few persons out there that either know or share!
Thank you! When you are shaping behaviors without the verbal command, you can use the terminal marker or the continuation marker. Just think of what the word predicts. Continuation marker only predicts a reward, while the terminal marker predicts a release and reward. If our dogs are not in a commanded position and we use the continuation marker, it doesn't make it a stay command. I hope this helps! :)
Great videos Nate, I've been watching a few over the past few days. The way you explain it fantastic and easy for owners to follow, I've even recommended your videos to my clients and I've just purchased you're manual. Keep up the great work. Also will you be doing seperate video on how to teach the Markers? 😊
Awesome! Thank you, I really appreciate that. Yes, I have a couple videos on teaching the markers. :) ua-cam.com/video/ph4ltXDVhHQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/UkZ7ucpK9sc/v-deo.html
I've seen some trainers just use food to lure a dog into the "down" position. I'm curious to learn what is the advantage of using both pressure and food.
Great questions. When you only use food the dog learns to go into the position to access the reward. This is a combination of positive reinforcement and negative punishment. The main downside to only using reward-based training is that the training is dependent on how much the dog wants the reward. If the dog doesn't care about the reward or is already full, it's going to be difficult to get the dog to a level of reliable obedience. However, when you add the leash pressure, you are now using a combination of positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and negative punishment, which is very powerful. The main difference in using the combination of pressure and reward-based training is that the dog doesn't have a choice. They must complete the behavior. Lastly, it is also very clear to the dog what you would like from them, so it minimizes confusion and also increases confidence by teaching the dog how to turn off pressure by complying and in the end you get a dog that will perform the commands with consistent reliability. :)
Is there a video on the first session with him Nate? I work with shelter dogs and I’m getting frustrated that I can’t seem to teach a simple sit 😢 I use the hand up command, but they tend to hop up instead of sit. I also tried upward leash pressure. Nope. And when I try to gently press down on the backend, then turn their head around to look at my hand 😣
@@NateSchoemer I have a stubborn chawieny I rescued I and going to start using ur great methods . Leash training. He is protective over people and he was protective over his food. I held my hand on his food Everytime I gave it to him now he trusts me. He's previously abused . 3 years old. Gets bad anxiety. Has a "punish kennel" I'mma try to make it a happy kennel.
I like how it sounds like a little bit of Pauly Shore from Encino Man when you say "Buuuuddy." Do you have any suggestions for fixing the side sit or side down position?
Lol! If a pet dog is doing a side sit or side down, I usually don't try to fix it because some dogs will do that because it's more comfortable on their hips. However, if its for a competition dog then I will use what's known as a shaping box. You can see an example of a shaping box in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DPYryIDZe7I/v-deo.html Thanks for the question! :)
Free = Release and reward Yes = Reward. I usually will use "Yes" If I want the dog to stay or remain calm. Free (terminal marker) will often trigger more excitement. :)

Thank you
Awesome! Thanks, Malik! :)

I really enjoyed watching the first episode training Elvis, you make it easy to understand just what you want him to do with lease pressure!

Thank you, I appreciate that. I'll have to be sure to make more videos like this one. :)
Absolutely easy-to-understand I enjoy the narration while watching you work hibu use this in my daily training
Awesome! Thank you for the comment and the support!
Thanks Nate. Great video as always. Both the commentary and no commentary parts are great. Elvis did a great job too.
Awesome! Thank you, I appreciate that! 😁🙏🐶🐕

What collar are you using for Elvis? Looks like a flat collar?
Is it too late to start leash pressure training if you've already started training lay down by treat luring?
Not at all. It should make it easier to teach leash pressure if your dog already understands luring. :)
@@NateSchoemer Thank you!
How to do basic training on a dog that does not like treats or food? I have a GSD and who does basic commands, want to go advanced with him.
I talk about all this in version 3 of my manual (not released yet). If you email me I'll send you a free copy. Cheers! NateSchoemer@gmail.com
Why you said Free, not Yes?
Free = Release and reward
Yes = Reward.
I usually will use "Yes" If I want the dog to stay or remain calm. Free (terminal marker) will often trigger more excitement. :)
Just to be clear.....
You are using word "free" then reward... Without using verbal commands only physical leash pressure... for down,sit and place...
