I love listening to Shaped By Dog! My family is preparing for a puppy and Susan Garrett was mentioned in a Viz Whizz webinar as an excellent resource. I am so grateful that I discovered her podcast UA-cam videos. I'm going to training my puppy using many Shaped by Dog lessons. Thank you for all the wonderful information!!
Love this, so well explained. I'm a believer in rules for dogs and to use "joyful" criteria to get where you want to go is an all around WIN! Another 5 star podcast!
I admit it! I "binge" listen to your podcasts and I get something extra every time I listen, but I had a "Hallelujah" moment when you mentioned that it is your pet peeve when people come to your home and try to train your dogs. I was thinking I am the only person bothered by this--and I am NOT a professional dog trainer, although I have many ribbons from past obedience and agility events (when I could do that). I have a friend who does it EVERYTIME they come over. Is it a test to see how well she is doing compared to what they do? Kaylee, my Lab puppy, happily puts up with it while I personally grow "cra-cra" trying to figure out how to handle this person without insulting them. Maybe you could do a podcast on that. My husband and I differ on the fine points of handling, so I am trying to be patient. Thanks for your continued advice...and being able to listen to it over...and over.
Gem for me was Wacc and I need to be clearer and more consistent withe them so we all can have Joy. Love these podcasts because I always more and more ❤❤❤❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gems: An amazing life really depends on how much training has gone into that dog which allows them to do things with you. Criteria = expectations, More criteria = more consistency, more criteria = more work it is for you to maintain that criteria. What does criteria mean to your dog? Criteria is defined by what brings my dog joy. Four defining elements W - worth the dog's while, A - Achievable - what you're expecting/asking of your dog is something they are capable of doing. C - your expectations need to be Clear and C - Consistent. Clarity is kind. I would also argue that consistency is kind too because you are expecting your dog to conform, and if you aren't consistent, then it's surprising your dog, and sometimes in unpleasant ways (because they do not know what is expected of them). When you bring expectation for a new behaviour that has no history for consistency and they begin to offer new behaviours, this is not unpleasant because you are teaching through a game, and them trying different things is how they are attempting to work out what you're looking for. These surprises are fun because of how they are presented. Once you have an expectation, dogs do not want to disappoint, hence the unpleasantness if they happen to get it wrong.
I'm so loving your videos. I'm looking forward to your recall tutorial tomorrow!
Yet another awesome filled podcast. Susan you keep hitting subjects on the head and we'll all be so much better for it. Interesting as usual.
I'm watching this video 3 years after it was uploaded and the google question still yields exactly the same results!

Gem.... joy is the first criteria! ❤️

Great advice
This episode is a beauty, thank you. Hopefully my son will understand more about this one. What his 6 month old puppy is trying to do.
This great. How do you train them to stop doing something and redirect?
Great episode, thank you! How do I apply this approach to train my 2yr old rescue dog to stop marking inside the house?
Hi @Devaki our video all about potty training can be followed with adult dogs too: ua-cam.com/video/b1UqsXQBH1A/v-deo.html
@@DogsThat thank you!

Your notes are just awesome, Linux!
I think you could do a raffle once a month and give away access to one of your modules or training sessions. This might increase viewership.
