Puppy Training includes the use of a lot of food or treats. It's a currency that the puppies naturally understand is valuable. Unfortunately, most people are using treats the wrong way! This can lead to a lot of confusion for even the smartest puppies! In this video, Kayl will talk about the most common mistake that people make when using food in their puppy training, and she will show you exactly the steps you need to take so that your puppy doesn't become forever dependent on food!

@Aubrey Lytle wow. Thank you so much for all your advice. It’s been two weeks and I’ve tried lots of ways to get the barking puppy to stop barking in the kennel – making it more “home-like”, feeding him, giving him lots of treats when he enters, rewarding him when he’s quiet, ect. But nothing is working. I’ve even tried a bark collar with no success. š I think it’s separation anxiety, but either way, it’s a huge distraction for the second puppy during his training sessions, and I’ve noticed that the quiet pup is calling behind and is losing interest quickly. Will the barking eventually stop???
@Lenie Kucera I think you may just have to give it time. However, we donāt want this behavior to continue happening so I would try to find a professional trainer to help you with this, or take some puppy classes with both of them and get advice there. While you are waiting, for that (assuming that what you decide to do) I would recommend training outside of the room, keeping your puppy out (just to experiment), work with both puppies at a time would be great (one is in a down or sit stay while you work with the other) and then going off of that, you could put one puppy in the kennel for letās say two minutes while you work with the other one then you swap and then you take both of them out for 2-4 minutes and that concludes your training session until you do another one. You may also need to be more firm with the puppy (I understand that this can be a difficult thing especially if the puppy is persistent) but maybe getting an e-collar (of good quality) and using that (do your research on how to use that) while training your other puppy. Hopefully this isnāt too confusing, but Iām just trying to give lots of options since Iām not there to witness the behavior. I would say using the e-collar you may need to approach that in the correct way so I would consult a professional before using it on your puppy. This also depends on how sensitive your puppy is. The only thing to watch out for his that your not feeding into his behavior. So donāt try to cuddle or feel bad for your puppy when they do this. You need to be assertive and firm. I think if itās disrupting your other puppy then you may need to find a spot in your house thatās farthest away from that room that your other puppy is in instead of being right next to them and either use a good quality e-collar or bark collar. If you use a good quality bark collar it should teach the puppy to relax while being away from you because the bark collar will make them stop barking exhibit will intern settle them. The e-collar does close to the same thing itās just manual. Since the puppies are only at around 16 wks of age you should probably try to stick with something for about a month before saying it doesnāt work as well. Hope this helps!!
@Lenie Kucera you can read my other comment down below, but I was thinking about this and I think I might have an answer. I would still highly recommend consulting a dog trainer or going to puppy classes to get the best advice, but I think we need to think about it from the puppies perspective. Iām not exactly sure how much crate training you have done. By the sounds of it an appropriate amount but I think it might be best to reassociate the crate. Think about it, your puppy has just gotten home and you have been doing create training they are starting to learn what it means to go into the crate until you decide to do training sessions with it. Now this can work, but dogs learn based off of routine so every time you put it in its crate and you start working with the other dog the puppy is think,ā well when I go into the crate then I donāt get any attention, the other puppy gets food and praise and attention and I donāt get any of that when Iām in here, this sucks.ā So I think it might be best to get rid of the crate for now ONLY WHEN TRAINING and keep the puppy out and work with both of them. Then as time passes you can begin to put the puppy in the crate for like a minute while working with the other puppy then swap, etc. until you can go a full training session with one pup in the crate and the other out. I would also recommend once you get to this point, doing training in another room so you donāt fall back into this habit and your puppy can still associate the crate with relaxation and no barking. It might also be helpful to give your puppy something like a Kong while they are in their crate as well. Hope this helps!!
@Tyson Alonso Cool! Took like 15 minutes but it worked!!
What about saying “Good Boy / Girl ” ?
This is the most helpful and most detailed dog training channel ever!
I even like Zak George
@Ishan Rocky i honestly have mixed feelings about Zak George… I feel like he lacks some dog language reading skill as well as not being able to predict or prevent undesirable behaviours properly enough. It appears to me, from his videos, that heās still quite a clumsy trainer himself too.
(I personally also find it quite annoying when a significant portion of a video is just (payed) advertisement.)
He does things with great intentions though! I believe in the end heās definitely a good person just trying to figure out what could help a certain dog and then keeps trying and trying until he gets the training results he was looking for (e.g. what I saw of him with his puppy)
He just lacks the ability to predict and prevent behaviours, therefore taking way longer and sometimes unnecessarily confusing the dog in the process.
Just my personal opinion though, I started off learning from early Cesar Millan, Iāve come a long way too haha
I believe that wherever you try to get inspiration, you shouldnāt completely rule out someoneās advice because of one thing they said, but on the other hand always remain curious yet critical. Approach your sources with a healthy sense of curiosity for what you might learn from them, but always keep in mind that, even if they really donāt mean to or realise this themselves, they might be wrong and/or there might be better ways to tackle a certain problem.
@ChloĆ© FranƧois woah, thank you Chloe even o am going to start dog training too just waiting for a dog š¶
@Ishan Rocky I find quite some of the stuff from Leerburg educational too, but again, Iām not sure if all they say or do is right or best for every dog
@ChloƩ FranƧois hmm
This is extremely helpful!
You’re a great teacher of humans š
U know what I like the most about yur videos is that u make me feel like I can do it ššš and that has helped me so much with my puppy šš¶ tx so much for all u do ā¤
Binge watching and liking every video I come across because they all help! 8 week old husky is becoming a little genius
Lol I’m doing the exact same thing!
You raised some really interesting and helpful tips that I’ve never considered and gave the info in a really clear way.
Can’t wait for my new pupsicle. Can’t wait to watch more š
Your videos have helped me so much! I’ve had a lot of dogs and never had to fight with one so much as this puppy so I sought out training videos. Within 12 hours my family was asking if I traded him in for a different puppy! I don’t say “yes” I say “good” bc that’s what’s natural for me, but he gets so excited to hear he did good! I’m struggling still with him being ok with me leaving the room without waking up the whole house, but we are getting better, and the biting is nearly gone with distraction methods and treats. Thank you!
My dog is watching this with me so confused about why this lady keeps saying yes without rewarding him š¤£
LOL- yes, we’ve had that problem, too!
I’ve seen other dog channels but this is by far the most straight to the point and information-packed video. I have a little 8-week golden who’s super motivated by food. I’m going to use her tips. Thank you very much!
Ooh I also recommend “Simpawtico” for information dense videos. They’re really well made and cover even the smallest details of dog training and dog life. His videos and this channel’s has been a lifesaver lol
This video is so so helpful! Loving your channel and applying all this wonderful new knowledge to train my puppy and he is coming along so well š
You have given me more confidence to own a dog.
Thank you very much šš»šÆ
So for your effort to put detail on the training….. YES !!!
Toy, play, affection, and excited voice can be used as rewards
She is so good at explaining and you can tell her passion for teaching and training animals, it got me glued to the screen! Thank you, getting my Border Collie puppy in a month and i want to be ready!
Me: āsitā Puppy: āLet me see the goods firstā Me: ok hereās the foodie in my hand. Puppy: āOk now Iāll sit.ā Ugh.
I shared your joy when Funky figured out what “pineapple ‘ meant. I know she has previously been trained to the cue “sit”. Good girl Funky Monkey!
Wish I had of seen this three weeks ago before I made so many mistakes…thanks…this makes so much sense.
You are an amazing doggy trainer. I wish you were nearby so I could hire you but Iām learning so much for free from your videos so thank you so much !!
This is the most amazing video ever! It made me realize I have done everything you guys say I shouldnāt do! Canāt wait to get home and start training
I would binge this show on Netflix.
