I love your doing this live and teaching us how to do this but also showing us dogs are not perfect and they can make a mistake cause it happens to all of us as we train our pets. Love the channel Robert!!
The phone tip is great. My nephew took my dog out for a walk and 30 minutes came back with a limping bleeding dog. She had a cut on her pastern. I asked when she did that. I could tell he never realized she was injured. Yes, he had been glued to his phone. It was a $300 vet bill to get her sewed up, plus the pain and discomfort she experienced.
One of my favourite commands that I’ve taught my pup is the ‘wait’ command. On the first day we had her, we spent nearly an hour teaching her to wait for her dinner. 3 months later and she does it without even being asked. We didn’t think about using the wait command for anything except when giving her food but a week ago I tried it when I was rushing to answer the door and she was behind me before I could shut the living room door... worked perfectly. We’re focusing on that now, just trying to make sure she 100% learns it because sometimes she’ll get too excited and dart past me before I tell her ‘okay, go’. It’s going very well though, I can have her wait for about 2-3 minutes before she starts getting impatient which is understandable considering she’s still a puppy.
This video should be seen by every dog adopter. One of the first things after training on sit should be setting a boundary, especially for a newly adopted dog.
... Robert, thanks for taking the time to show an important point. I have a neighbor who doesn't like dogs and is confrontational about my two (has gone after them with a cane he does not need, to include striking one of them). This is done for the liability issue. So it's real important to control your dog in what is referred to as the 'cone of death' (a doorway). With nearly all phones having cameras, and the 'Delphi Technique', protect your dog and yourself. If someone is waiting for you outside the door, you need to control the situation and besides protecting yourself, protect your greatest asset ... (Mia, you are a sweetheart☺) ...
Think you should consider reporting your neighbour for animal abuse/ cruelty, no way would anything stop me from going through him if he chased my dogs or even laid his hands on them, what a disgusting person
I used the command Halt and it saved my Newfie dog's life. The clip on my leash broke right before an intersection crossing in the City . I use the command as I drop my open hand down in front of my dogs face .. and it indicates stop immediately. Well he did and I was ever so grateful for his safety!
This is so useful. I taught my dog not to run out the door by closing it in his face when he'd start to walk out of it. He caught on quick and I've never had a problem since. Now he waits till I open the door and say "ok". But I haven't tried it without a leash. Your way is better, I'm gonna try it without the leash on using your tutorial!
Actually I train my dog to go behind me at all doors. Does not matter we going In or Out. She goes near to me (If under command "near") and stop in front of doors and come only after me. If I stay to pass someone - she stay behind. Lots of people here afraid of dog's - that help to have them calm.
I do the exact same thing. It's the same when going up and down stairs (inside the house). It gets to the point after you do it THOUSANDS of times the dog just gets used to it and checks with me each time I go through a door.
WOW robert i feel so good now after watching this video as i have my dog understand this procedure already,when i open door i tell her to wait she sits at front door until i walk down my steps to see if any traffic about but its so funny when i say ok she flies out down to the field where we play around the corner from me so excited but thats ok as she waits first until i check traffic.
Great! I also transition to a simple “wait”.. Ie dog can be standing also, but he waits. Request the wait proactively...although the auto wait is useful also. Also found it useful to have the dog “ask permission” (by looking at me) in order to solidify this command and also general obedience. The permission based lifestyle is very powerful in training (I find)
I think what's also important is to let the dog make the mistake on training. What I mean is not to get your body blocking the gap. It's so tempting to block the gap with your body, for etc. Once the dog makes the mistake then correct it, she will get the idea eventually. The key ingredient is to be patient. I think I have done this tens and thousands (we have six dogs) of times through doors. Plenty of failures but eventually you will get there. Such an important habit.
What a good dog!! Mine doesn't listen and bolts as soon as she can.☹️ Then she won't come back until she's ready. She'll chase people, cars, anything, and she thinks it's great fun.
How do you go about the front door being a permanent barrier? Meaning, the door may be open, and I’m not there, but you’re still not allowed to go through it without me letting you? Or even a specific room they’re not allowed in unless called into it? My fear is usually my dog running out when guests arrive and they open the door when I’m not there.
I have a few questions. A female just gave birth to 8 puppies. 3 of them couldn't make it. So, with the 5 left, there is 3 males and 2 females. One of the males is slightly bigger than the rest of the males. Could that mean it will be bigger when it grows? What is expected>?The breeder of the puppies is selling the bigger one for more price than the rest. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
@robertcabral Thank you for the video. One question. In previous videos you told you don't use the "wait" command while the dog is sit or down. Is this another approach for this very issue when the dog runs out the house? Thanks in advance.
I know this is off subject. I have 2 GSD puppies that are just over 5 months old, one is a bi-colour and the other one a sable. We live on a farm and my sable pup has now started catching our chickens and killing them. How can I go about stopping this behavior quickly. I do not want to just get rid of the pup as she is part of the family.
I would say try a variety of treats out to see what your dog is attracted to. They might like one out of five treats or go for all five. Whatever works.
@@RobertCabralDogs Hope it's ok to post this here! Here goes. Thx again!! Robert, how's it going, sir!? I really need your help! I hope you can steer me in the right direction with my very very dominant Male Rottweiler puppy! He's 8 months old. He was the biggest puppy and the litter bully, so I knew he would have these tendencies. He loves to roughhouse with me, running around the house, and he kinda gnaws on my hand. Growls, but in a playful way! Nothing too hard 95% of the time! We'll play the I get you but you don't get me, game! That's the extent of his teeth going on my skin! With my girlfriend, However, he's terrorizing her! A much different story! it started by him "hearding" her, at her feet and biting at them. He has backed off of that, lately. But that's the first time I noticed him treating her differently than me. He's fine with her as long as I'm there. But, As soon as I leave the house, he starts biting her HARD!! Growling at her, jumping up and off the furniture, grabbing stuff out of the trash and HER shoes. Not mine, only hers! etc. She has bruises up and down her arms and legs! The other behaviors are a nuisance but the biting is the main issue! I might be wrong here, but I've had her put him on his back when he goes "crazy." She's tried ignoring him. Giving him a tasty treat as soon as I leave, but that only lasts for 15 or 20 minutes and he's back to terrorizing her. she has been leaving him in the kennel while I am gone to prevent being bitten. I want them to "get along." Sorry for the lengthy message! I'm just frustrated and need help! Thank you
You can have your dog sit .. or auto sit if on a leash and he/she knows that, or even a down (although I don’t like that). I suppose a sit builds some stability early on. I move quite quickly once the dog has got it, to a wait where he can be standing.. and usually is. Then, release with “free” or “let’s go” or “ok”. My release (free) is to freedom though and not a release with engagement (“yes” in verbal marker parlance), so you want to think about what you want the dog to do or how to behave once released from the wait! Geez, that sounds complicated: in reality it isn’t! I use the wait at ALL thresholds eg entrance to dog park ( when no other dogs there!) and even getting out of the car. Consistency is key, as I think Robert mentioned in a recent video
'sit' and 'wait' .... does 'sit' mean sit down and not move until another command is given? I learned that 'sit' or 'down' do not need 'wait'. Explain for us.

what I like about this video is that it's not perfect. No unnecessary edits and goes on the show training a dog takes a lot of patience.

Such an important exercise to master early on and long term consistency is absolutely key in success.
Can you finally hook up that free energy thing already. You only did it for the first time in 1890 somthing.

I used to build Tesla coils. Got pretty good at it too ! Check the vids on my channel.
Great to watch a dog actually learning the commands..thanks

Closing it on his face 🤣
I imagine a lot of dogs have learned this by getting hit in the face with a door!
Can't stress how important this is. Thanks Robert : )

Great video, 50-100 repetitions worth of patience goes a really long way with a dog
You’re the best I’ve seen on UA-cam!

Yes it's great when your dog looks at you, anticipating the next command.
thnx for your video's! They really help me ;)

Oh man, probably the best thing. My girl doesn't get out of the car without my ok, even if the others bolt.

Once taught we don’t use wait. You can use it to teach the behavior in particular here.
Great advice but I watch a lot of the videos with Maya just because she is so gorgeous
Is it possible to teach your dog who is 1-2 year old already?
yes
I know this is off subject. I have 2 GSD puppies that are just over 5 months old, one is a bi-colour and the other one a sable.

If the dog is free to roam you won’t fix the issue.
How old is your dog Robert.
What kind of treats?
I would say try a variety of treats out to see what your dog is attracted to. They might like one out of five treats or go for all five. Whatever works.

Hey, how did things end up for you and your dog?
Is the wait implied with the sit or the down?
You can have your dog sit .. or auto sit if on a leash and he/she knows that, or even a down (although I don’t like that). I suppose a sit builds some stability early on. I move quite quickly once the dog has got it, to a wait where he can be standing.. and usually is. Then, release with “free” or “let’s go” or “ok”.

Geez, that sounds complicated: in reality it isn’t!
I use the wait at ALL thresholds eg entrance to dog park ( when no other dogs there!) and even getting out of the car. Consistency is key, as I think Robert mentioned in a recent video
Ok do you do this on all doors, like going out into your fenced yard or just when going out the front door or nonfenced yard?
Consistency being the key to training, I'd say ALL outside doorways.
And car doors!
doesn't the praise "good sit" need to come 1-3 seconds before the piece of food?
I think he is using good as a "continuation marker", but if you use good as your "finish marker" then you are correct.
'sit' and 'wait' .... does 'sit' mean sit down and not move until another command is given? I learned that 'sit' or 'down' do not need 'wait'. Explain for us.
what is outside that might distract her
My car. She loves the car.
