This is a continuation of "the most important things to train your new dog or puppy"
This tutorial goes over how to teach eye contact as well as how to teach your dog to look at you whn you make an attention noise or say his name.

Happy Training!
"watch me" "look" "how to train name" "how to teach a dog" "dog training"
im so glad you made this video i tried training my dog this a couple of weeks ago, but she is very shy and doesn’t like to look at my eyes she looks at me but keep her face pointing down so its hard to see her eyes and she wont stop doing this
Your videos are so helpful! We had a tiny run in with our obedience teacher tonight when he asked me why I didn’t give my pup the Stay command. I told him I was teaching him a sit means sit and a down means down. He wasn’t happy…oh well, I like your methods and am going to keep using them. I’ve had tremendous results in only a week!!
Perfect!
Love what you got your little one to do by-way of backing up, sideways and circling. Can you click me to the link for those lessons?
next/last question: how long do you train for any given trick/command/behavior? How many do you teach at one time? Do you repeat during the day? If so how many times? do you wait until they’ve gottit before moving on to the next trick/command/behavior. Mine has real difficulty with distraciton. So this video is great
I also note many games, sports, dancing are done with border collies. I’d like to see some trainers really making inroads with non-border dogs. Borders tend to be much easier to train–on the whole, right–?
I love your vids!
I use the letter “X” as a marker. It is not a word I might inadvertently use while praising my dog “Yes, good boy, almost . . . EX!” *treat* he responds to it very well, I think it’s the sharpness/distinctness of the sound that helps get his focus.
Love Love Love the lineup on the sofa watching a new dog get treats. To me, that says it all about your training methods. Great stuff!!
Hi Emily really love your videos. Would you do one on helping a very aggressive food resourse gaurder. 18mth Golden Cocker had already bitten 3 times I was making progress but owner feeling wary of the pup now and her fear is noticed by the dog. HEr ralationship with him broke down when advised by another “trainer” to follow dominance rank reduction methods so now I am having to deal with the problems that damage did. many thanks and keep up the good work!
I did this exercise today with my cat, Mollie. 🙂
Oh Emily, I just loved the crew waiting on the couch!!! : ) I use many of your training methods with my horse and encourage horse owners to come watch your stuff and try it with horses–great fun! Thanx for the vids!
Thanks for making this video, Emily – this is how I teach attention and so I can give the link to my students as a reference – makes my work a lot easier!
Hi Emily,
Funny what we capture sometimes, sure the first dog initialy was concentrating on head lift (stretching neck) rather than the eye contact. Inadvertantly captured a dog tossing toy higher rather than nearer because it was landing closer the higher he tossed it.
Can the Eye Contact sound be the same as the positive interrupter sound ? Is it the same concept?
Thanks a lot!
How would you train the dog not to attack a new dog while inside the house?
My dog is very shy and doesnt ever look at your face. She also doesnt really like treats. What should I do?
Your video’s are amazing, the best i have found, being a new dog owner, your video’s are helping a great deal.
My dog will look at me, and then glance away quickly and look back again. Should I still reward this because she came back or does it need to be constant eye contact?
When we’re outside walking it’s SO hard to get my dogs attention. She doesn’t acknowledge any sound I make. Any advise?
Did you ever figure out the answer? My dog and I have the same issue. He will not look at me for anything. Too interested in smells.
Is there any drawback to using the dogs name as an eye contact cue?
Or what cases would you want the dog to know it’s name? And when to use it?
No not at all. Just that if you live with people who say the dogs names all the time. It can be handy if you have a lot of dogs.
how do you ask for longer eye contact? Thanks for the vids. I have a 14 month old border collie so obviously need all the help I can get haha.
