Hey I tried clicking the link shown above, but it says the video is private 🤔
Is it supposed to be private?
Works better to show the dog what its like to be jumped on. When the dog starts to jump, rapidly raise your knee into its chest. The dog won’t like it, just like you don’t like it when you are jumped on. It is quick and fair. It works to stop the behavior.
It may work to stop the behavior for some, but not all dogs. And you just used the words “the dog won’t like it”. When you do things to your dog that they don’t like, that can negatively impact your relationship with that dog. If you continually do things I don’t like to me, I’m going to loose you as a friend or acquaintance very quickly and have nothing to do with you. For some dogs, this actually works as reinforcement (you’re giving them attention). For those dogs, you’re actually making jumping worse by doing that. Teach the dog what you want him or her to do instead of jumping and don’t allow attention when he jumps (and prevent jumping by management–like keeping the dog on a leash) and do give attention when the dog does the behavior you want (like sitting). The whole knee to the chest is so passe now. No one that knows much about modern dog training techniques uses that any more.
@The Border Of My Collie Okay, I’ll grant you that sometimes you have to do things your dog won’t like (such as eye or ear drops). But why should I do something my dog finds aversive or doesn’t like when I have an alternative? You can solve the problem of jumping without doing something your dog doesn’t like. True, it’s a little more difficult than just “kneeing the dog in the chest” (the lazy way to fix the problem). It involves management, figuring out what you want your dog to do instead of jumping, and then potentially teaching them that behavior. Why should you do all that when you can just do something your dog doesn’t like and possibly even hurt your dog? Thanks, I’ll take the positive route. I’ll do as few things my dog “doesn’t like” as I can. Guess I’m a way out in left field, but I think that will improve my relationship with my dog. You go do what you’re going to do (because no one will convince you otherwise and that you’re way isn’t “best”). I’ll do what I’m going to do because I believe the positive way is better than your way.
@The Border Of My Collie Once again, you propose a potentially averisve solution. Why focus on aversive solutions when you don’t have to? There is, I believe, a better way. But far be it from me to try to convince you, as you (apparently) think you know everything there is to know about preventing dogs from jumping up.
Do you use this method on kids too? Just knee them in the face if they decide to nibble your clothes? Wow. You can also just turn your back on them, or ignore them until they are calm, then give attention when they are.
@The Border Of My Collie Your argument makes no sense and you raising your knee to knock your dog in the chest is not “self-correction”. You are intentionally doing something to “correct” the dog. No matter what I (or anyone else) says, you are going to go along your merry way, kneeing your dog in the chest (and your child in the face?). As far as I’m concerned, this is the end of the discussion.
Here’s another idea, tell them no and give them a correction! It’s almost like PP is basic psychology
Here’s another idea! That’s a horrible idea. I assume you use PP to mean positive punishment? If you really knew any basic psychology, you’d know all the problems with using positive punishment. The use of positive punishment is certainly NOT basic psychology. This is a very lazy way of taking care of jumping. The better way is a little more work for you (you have to use management to keep the dog from jumping during training, you have to figure out what you want the dog to do instead, and you may have to train the dog to do that behavior). More work, but what you get for your “more work” is well worth it. You have a better relationship with your dog, you don’t risk the problems that come with positive punishment (including aggression; working with Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds, I don’t want to do something that is going to result in them demonstrating aggression–they could KILL someone), and your dog will learn to not job for good (rather than you have to keep screaming “NO” and punishing your dog).
I have two Huskies and the 3 year old one is obviously hyper as it is. Tried giving him plenty of exercise before guests come over and it doesnt even seem to phase him. Only thing that works for now is tell him down right before he decides to charge at the guest and most of the time it works but I know there’s a more subtle way.
Are you just doing physical exercise or mental too? My family has a boxer and she can go nuts outside and still be nutty inside, but we started doing our next scent work class. Man was she tired after that! It’s hard to remember (at least for me) that dogs need physical and mental exercise.
@rockmintswirl5616 Yes we have tried everything but if there’s one thing I know about Huskies it’s next to impossible to tire them out especially before guests come over
A ” guest ” with that blue fabric nonsense deserves more than a jumping dog 🐕
Zack I love your videos so much inersia is the reason why I fell in love with border collies I have one myself. Every time I watch your video I alway smile I love what you did with Moira
The link said this video is private…….😒
It’s visible now.
You get this exactly wrong. You simply step on the leash to not let them do it. You are the worst trainer of behavior mod.
1. The method works for him. 2. He has loads of students who love his methods, & swear by them. 3. I’m an older trainer, & have used both your method & his. While yours will stop the jumping, it tends to decrease dogs’enthusiasm for training. Whereas he’s redirecting the dog to another, acceptable behavior, which increases dogs’happiness with training.
@The Border Of My Collie Stepping on the leash when you open the door, as you give as an example, is a cue you’re giving your dog that it’s a time to show self-restraint around guests. Are you saying that it worked the very first time you did it, and every time after, without any other cues to let your dog know what you meant by it? I’m not sure we disagree as much as you think. Although I hope you aren’t putting much pressure on the dog’s neck…
@The Border Of My Collie This video isn’t about nervous or fear-aggressive dogs. I would use gradual desensitization with them. It has worked very well for me. This video is about dealing with a simple over-enthusiastic tendency to jump on people, in a young dog that hasn’t yet had much social exposure. In such a situation, redirecting the dog is a simple and effective approach. Certainly, if you want your dogs to not interact with your guests, that’s up to you. And f course a dog needs to understand when it needs to settle. But, here, the approach is for people who are comfortable with interaction, in a relaxed gathering among folks, at least some of whom love dogs.
That literally teaches them nothing. lol. I wonder who’s dumb here?
Love the sound methodology here! This works wonderfully.
That makes perfect sense! It’s similar to the idea of turning a horse in circles if they start bucking.
Don’t really understand why it’s frowned upon to tell a dog “No”. Replacing the unwanted behavior is just half of the solution, I think it would be way easier for the dog to learn to act appropriately if we let them know what we want them to do as well as what we don’t want.
Can you imagine how unprepared for life a child would turn out if it was never taught what not to do?
As q preschool teacher, i rarely saw no. I redirect. It works. Don’t want to share? Hey look at this red block. Drops original toy. Problem solved.
@Kelsie Adams Of course it solves the problem in the moment, it’s easy to distract a child (or dog). But did that teach them not to act like a selfish brat and instead share their toys? No. They learned nothing.
If anything, you rewarded them for selfish behavior with a new toy.
Amen! Love it!
This works with humans as well!
The video link doesn’t work
Love your books and videos. Just started reading one of your books. Our 13 WK old puppy digs and won’t come to us when we call her or that nks it’s a game of chase even though we don’t chase her.
