  1. Yay! I needed this tutorial really badly. My dogs know their names, but they don’t really respond as well as I’d like. Plus, they both have issues with competing for food. Especaily Kai.

  2. hey Emily, great video…i was currious, what breed is Tug? he is one of if not the cutest puppy i have ever seen!

    and in response to golden twilight’s question below, i believe you should condition your dog by always always stating his/her name before a command that way they can differentiate between a command issued to another or themselves…happy training

  3. Great video again!!! I’ll be posting to Facebook. I also have the same question as goldentwilight1…..I think if my dog was as close as Kiko and Splash were, she’d sit when you told either of them to sit. How did you train them to only sit when you said their name?

  4. cool video emily. I really enjoyed when you said the name and the command kiko sit. love all your videos. You are such a great trainer…

  5. Great video. I would have never thought that you can teach a dog it’s name by as you would a trick… it makes sense, I can’t believe I never thought of it before.

    Also Tug is a cute name! For the longest time we called Ember baby because we didn’t know what to name her lol.

  6. Excellent video emily…i also work like this with any new dogs i bring into my group.. I currently have 3, but have had up to 4. I tend to do this exercise sat in the comfort of the settee to start with then progress it to being in different positions. I always wait for eye contact before rewarding and proof the name and eye contact by moving the treat visually about and clicking for maintenance of the eye contact when i say their names.

  7. What an amazing video! I can’t wait until I have another dog to practice this with. 🙂 Splash, Kiko, and Tug are so cute! 5*s and a fav!

  8. You are amazing!! I stumbled across your videos looking for a way to help the very shy shelter dog we adopted a few days ago, and I think I love you. It’s so wonderful to see someone using gentle, effective methods to train dogs, and I’ve been watching your videos, one after another, for the last 2 hours. You are a remarkable person; thank you for sharing!

  9. Kiko and splash are amazing. i love how splash acts all mature when u’re constantly giving treats to kiko and tug(is the name right). Splash is like “oh its ok… she’ll give me one too…” Adorable…..

  10. I have a new puppy that I got for xmas. He’s a joy. My husband and I are taking him to puppy training once a week; which is great but In addition I have been watching your videos. I really love your style and delivery in training and teaching us how to do the training. Thank you for sharing your education and knowledge with us…so helpful.

    AW

  11. So great how you explain things and really are consistent in which behaviour you are reinforcing (for example your mark that you don’t give Tug attention when he jumps up and you only give him the treat when he has 4 paws on the ground). I hope you ‘conquer’ the world with your dog training 🙂

  12. I just got a puppy 2 weeks ago, and randomly found you online today. I’ve watched a couple of your videos, and I’m a believer! I subscribed. Your videos are incredibly helpful, and so cute to watch too! Thank you!

  13. I just got a 9 yr old Shih Tzu. He’s a great dog! However, I can tell that he hasn’t had much training when it comes to commands. I’ve been looking through your videos, (Great by the way!), and I had a question: How long should our training sessions be when changing his name?

  14. I’ve been wondering that as well with my new pup around…What I’ve done is conditioned them to a word meaning “come” even when they don’t hear their name. They both get lots of treats, so when they hear that, they both come running.

  15. THANK YOU A LOT FOR THESE WONDER VIDEOS! I don’t have a dog yet, but Im prelearning with you. I trust you, and will follow your advises. again, thank you!

  16. Saying her/his name first then giving them a treat seems to be a good idea.  Just got a seven week old puppy.  She’s slowly learning her name but your idea looks like a good one.
