  1. Ahh! Splash was so fluffy!

    Thanks a lot for these videos. I don’t have a dog yet, but when I finally can get one, I will hopefully be prepared!

  2. @SydsHere Try turning sideways and putting the treats between your feet in front of you so that after a couple reps she will be anticipating the most reinforcing thing being at your feet. If she still keeps jumping at your face, then that means the treats are not as reinforcing as jumping so you will need to use better treats or make the recall low key- start out slow and then build up speed πŸ™‚

  3. @Tekhazai I figured these videos were long overdue! I got caught up in complex tutorial videos which I thought were fun, but then I realized there were no really good basic tutorials out there on the web!

  4. @laurafeg Have the person who plays his owner make a connection with him, and give him treats whenever possible+ like when they go off stage- so he never knows when he might get a treat from her. You can teach him a cue- go to actor- with a release- free! that always pays off big time, so you can send him to the actor where he will walk next to or watch the actor and then have a cue to come away.

  5. @Sheriichi Proof the recall with distractions- I almost made a video with a gopher hole! The thing was popping its head out and in of the whole, then I ran to get my camera and the darned thing didnt come out again! But this is def a video I want to make. Practice with a hole, have the dog on a HARNESS and longline, and call the dog when you are near the hole and can succeed, then get closer to the hole as you go.

  6. @kikopup Try to have success every time. The try call aways from the hole itself while you are closer to your dog. If your dog doesnt come, DONT JERK but walk backwards with even pressure until your dog comes, never do that in a collar as you can hurt or choke your dog. Dont say anything just go back a step. Everytime your dog comes back to you, your dog gets a high level reinforcement and then is released to check out the hole. (try not to release to the hole in too exciting a way)

  7. @Rienei Yes! All dogs can be trained using positive reinforcement πŸ™‚ Check out my website, it has all the videos listed by content and its easier to find what you need there rather than on youtube

  8. I have a similar problem to Sheriichi. My little guy, who usually knows better, gets so floppy and comfortable when he’s tired. If he’s napping in his crate, he won’t come to me at all for treats, and it takes several minutes when I sit nearby with his favorite toy. I was taught that you can never let a “come” command go unheeded, so I hate to admit it but I’ve dragged him out of his crate at times. I hate to see the sad look on his little faceβ€”there must be a better way! What should I do?

  9. I used this technique to help improve my pug’s “come” command. Upon taking a break from teaching this technique I found that her heel position was better. Maybe she felt being beside me was more enjoyable or she was a bit tuckered out.

    BTW: the videos of Splash as a puppy is EPICALLY adorable! Thank you for all your great videos. I’ve often used correction and reinforcement with my pug, but using your techniques, even w/out the clicker has improved our bond/her obedience greatly.

  10. Yeah, yelling at them only teaches them to do it when you are out of sight. I have a dog that was harshly treated for soiling in the house so the point where he was not only hand shy but foot shy as well and he would never go to the toilet anywhere in my view so praising him was difficult at first. I have never reprimanded a dog for soiling the house and with a bit of patience (as you said in your comment), Storm was toilet trained in no time. πŸ™‚

  11. Hello! Thanks for all your great videos. Just wondering if there is a “right/wrong” thing to do when your dog doesn’t return when called? Can’t seem to find anything on this topic. (I know you shouldn’t tell them off) but when we are in the park my dog will sometime run off with another dog and I have a difficult time getting him back πŸ™ thanks
