Amazing. Thank you so much, Will! I found a doberman girl on the street a week ago and we're both learning. I had no intention to get a dog so was 0 prepared, but your channel is helping me so much. Thank youuu! 🐕💞
Hiya Will mate!!! I LOVED this video and the one on "biting". I watched carefully and didn't realise that holding your arms out was a natural call to the dog to come to you. I have a 1 year old rescue Malinois blend and he was "Come-ing" about half the time and mostly when he heard the "treat" bag ruffling. I'm trying this technique now and wow what a difference! THANK YOU MATE!!! Cheers
LOVE this Will!! Just started your advanced canine training and behaviour course and I am absolutely loving it!! Zak George has been doing something similar on his channel with taking rescues in to foster, but I have to say the dog you have chosen couldn't have been more perfect and in need of an opportunity like this. Please keep the brilliant content and training coming! 😊
I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and it's awesome. The best explanations I've ever seen and heard. I haven't had a dog for a year and I'm very anxious to use your methods. Binging your channel has become my new mission.
You are such a great guy! I have to try it on my stubborn bulldog :) your methods looked really effective! I give update after training :) Thank you man! Take care! ❤️
Thanks! And thanks for keeping them short too. I guess you could condition the vibrating collar for the dog to simply look at you, then from there they can see the command you are giving with your arms. Great vid
I am faaaaarrrr from an expert, but from what I’ve seen in his videos, he would not have the dog off leash until it has learned to really focus on you more. In a previous vid, he had a dog in a really really long leash so that the dog felt it was free to run around, and worked in recall while that dog was restrained in that way. That way the dog could be brought back if it decides to ignore his command. And then once recall is better, maybe then work more off leash?
Just like any behavior in dog training, you have to build it with exercises first. Always low distraction areas like inside, then move to your yard, driveway, park at a far distance from things etc. Exercises that are great for building recall are: runaway recall, food throw recall, restrained recall, call off and call away. Dog should never be off leash unless the recall is solid and IMO you have properly conditioned the electronic collar. Because no matter how solid that recall is, no matter how long you’ve been practicing, there will be a point in time where your dog decides not to listen when they’re fully off leash and if you have no way to communicate with that dog then it could be life threatening. When you are building the recall always keep the dog on a long line that way if they fail to recall you can use some long line directional pressure to direct them back to you. Hope that helps
I love your videos. You are so good to the dogs that you train. I hope you take care of yourself. You seem out of breath all the time. Do not take this as an insult because it is far from what it is. It is selfish because I want you to keep giving good advice to stupid dog owners. Have fun.
Hi Will, here in the Netherlands trainers are really focused on NOT using a slip collar at any cost and I see you using them quite often. Here they are all about rewarding the positive behavior and ignoring the negative or distracting the dog i.a. when they tend to pull on the leash when coming across another dog. What is your take on this?
Both of my dogs did so good because I use some deaf dog training even though they aren’t deaf. They just don’t listen I think it’s because I talk to them too much? I need my GS to come, stop barking when I tell her to stop, and here. I got an ECollar for her own safety don’t want to use the E part unless she’s bolting and not coming when I recall her.
positive reinforcement is brilliant.... what do you do when the dog doesn't listen when they know they will get positive reinforcement eg call back has been perfect, eye contact perfect etc but then suddenly they get distracted an forgets themselves, doesn't call back and ignores you?
Awesome video. I got a 5 month old bitch Shepweiler from a farm 5 weeks ago and was told by a 1 to 1 trainer that she would need a behaviourist. Whilst I agree the separation anxiety still needs to be addressed, watching your videos and with some perseverance (7 cats are too), she's already starting to become an amazing pup. Long way to go for sure, but baby steps. :)
Keep it up! Love the videos! Trying to get my dog to heel on walks. Its hard to find time when you got a dog and two small kids to look after. :D But this helps! Like to know where to start! :D
How do I get my dog to come to me when he has run off with a toy and just wants to be chasedans play? Ordinary recall with no distraction is not a problem. Thank you for any help.
when im out with my 4 month old Thai Ridgeback he doesn't come back because he is always sniffing, but when training in garden he is brilliant. what advice could you give for this
My pup is the same when I’m outdoors, what I usually do which works for my pup is to wait for him to stop sniffing - as they look up before they wander off (so he’s not distracted) then call him over. May not work for every dog but I’ve found recall is better when I call my pup when he’s not busy sniffing, toileting or otherwise distracted
Try using a long line when you’re out of your garden until that recall is 100%. If your pup is distracted, the double tap like Will used in this video would get his attention
Just got a puppy and running through all of your videos at the moment. What treats do you use for training? I’m trying to find a treat that our puppy LOVES that is low calorie. So far she seems to just be ok with the treats we’ve been using but loses interest after we run through training for more than 5-10 min
I’m no expert but if it helps we found that keeping sessions much shorter worked well when our guy was a puppy. Their concentration levels are so much smaller so we kept it really fun and engaging in shorter bursts
Some trainers use the dog’s food as treats. I’ve been trying that with my dog (half a cup over the course of a few hours) and he enjoys it. This way you can keep their drive without worrying about calories! Late reply but hope this helps
Does anyone know what could be possible causes of not ever barking? I'm helping with an adopted dog that hasn't been known to have barked in the 2 years since being adopted.
@@dorotadonigiewicz1876 I *was* quite concerned regarding why he never made a sound, and as his adopter said he does not bark. However, when I questioned her some more I found out that it was a language misunderstanding, and he certainly CAN bark - as I found out later when I left him home alone when I went to the store. He was quite vocal :) Thank you for your help!
Do you do phone/FaceTime consults? I would gladly pay for your time. On your website the All Consults/Coaching errors out. Please DM me if possible. I use your methods via your UA-cam videos and have gotten extremely positive results.
This dog is so cute! He’s so beat up but behaves so sweetly 😍🥲
I am so happy this dog gets to be under your care!
Amazing. Thank you so much, Will! I found a doberman girl on the street a week ago and we're both learning. I had no intention to get a dog so was 0 prepared, but your channel is helping me so much. Thank youuu! 🐕💞
Awesome! I'm loving this series. Been a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do with my deaf pup, Comet. This has been so helpful. Thank you!

U definitely can tell he adores u, u done great with him. He's a good boy in deed. Whom ever abused him should sit, stay and never walk.

Well done. You've helped me with our pup. Just need to train me up, the dog knows more than I do at this point!
I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and it's awesome. The best explanations I've ever seen and heard. I haven't had a dog for a year and I'm very anxious to use your methods. Binging your channel has become my new mission.
Brilliant as usual. I’m fostering a 60 lb standard poodle right now. He’s a former breeder for a doodle kennel. 8 years old, but super easy to train!
This is just beautiful! Thank you Will for all you do!
You are such a great guy! I have to try it on my stubborn bulldog :) your methods looked really effective! I give update after training :)
Thank you man! Take care! ❤️
Thanks! And thanks for keeping them short too. I guess you could condition the vibrating collar for the dog to simply look at you, then from there they can see the command you are giving with your arms. Great vid
Great tips mate. But.... How do we train a dog who wants to explore the park, distracted by squirels and not wanting to listen to us? Thanks!

Love it! Thanks, will be wacthing your videos.
Good to see how you do this … mine is just super excited ..at which point he goes deaf!
Love this tip. Trying it on my puppies tomorrow.
Brilliant! Is this the same method for a new puppy
I want your treat bag I love how that looks!!!
No Bad Dogs sent me to get double the info. Thanks 4 sharing your gift.

Love this. You have helped me loose leash my golden retriever 😉
This is really impressive thanks Will
Great video. Did this poor boy find a home ? He looks like he's had a really bad start to life.
Watching you work with these dogs makes me want to become a dog trainer myself 😭
Both of my dogs did so good because I use some deaf dog training even though they aren’t deaf. They just don’t listen I think it’s because I talk to them too much? I need my GS to come, stop barking when I tell her to stop, and here. I got an ECollar for her own safety don’t want to use the E part unless she’s bolting and not coming when I recall her.
BRILLIANT recall tips! Thanks
Thank you.
Love it too.
This is very important,
Sometimes my pet doesn't understand that.
Love your videos will, I see you use the break command to release the dog. Do you have any videos on how you go about teaching this command?? Cheers
the video I needed, thanks man
Your site is the best info always
positive reinforcement is brilliant.... what do you do when the dog doesn't listen when they know they will get positive reinforcement eg call back has been perfect, eye contact perfect etc but then suddenly they get distracted an forgets themselves, doesn't call back and ignores you?
I've seen you use whistles for recall. Is there a particular brand or model you recommend ?
Love this Will

Can you recommend any good books on the European doberman ?
Hi Will, is that a prong collar this dog is wearing? If it is i am wondering why?
How do I get my dog to come to me when he has run off with a toy and just wants to be chasedans play? Ordinary recall with no distraction is not a problem. Thank you for any help.
Where can you get a prong collar in Australia?
Outside of exercise how much time do you train your dog every day?
Wait what happened to fenrir canine? Did I miss something?
when im out with my 4 month old Thai Ridgeback he doesn't come back because he is always sniffing, but when training in garden he is brilliant. what advice could you give for this

Try using a long line when you’re out of your garden until that recall is 100%. If your pup is distracted, the double tap like Will used in this video would get his attention
If youre always giving a treat, they come to expect it. Should you not want them to come without needing treats?
Just got a puppy and running through all of your videos at the moment. What treats do you use for training? I’m trying to find a treat that our puppy LOVES that is low calorie. So far she seems to just be ok with the treats we’ve been using but loses interest after we run through training for more than 5-10 min

Hi
I own 3 dogs (2 labs and golden retriever) and especially our golden is known to rarely bark.some dogs just don't bark 🤔
Are you concerned with no barking?
@@dorotadonigiewicz1876 I *was* quite concerned regarding why he never made a sound, and as his adopter said he does not bark.
However, when I questioned her some more I found out that it was a language misunderstanding, and he certainly CAN bark - as I found out later when I left him home alone when I went to the store. He was quite vocal :)
Thank you for your help!
I guess the trick is to never run out of food. 😁
Huh. Did not know remote collars were a thing.
What treats are you using for training, don’t want to throw diet off with fat filled treats
In previous videos, he takes it out of their daily food. So if you use kibble for meals, its kibble for treats
You say you take all of his daily allowance in food with you on your training sessions what happens if you’re feeding him meat
Please let’s have a partition to stop and make illegal the butchering of dogs. Any breeder or owner should be prosecuted.
What do you suggest if the dog has no interest in food and gets easily bored of toys? He just want to sniff and pee...
You could try using praise and touch as a reward and see if that works
What would someone do to make a dog deaf....I love 98% of dogs and 2% of humans.
this dog is obedient without u even training him lol. great video but maybe get a more disobedient dog to start
