Thank you kikopup! When I got my puppy a couple of years ago we did this exercise just like you explained it, and she got it right away. She is sleeping in the very same bed right now, settled all by herself. Thanks!
Another great video. Thank you so much for all you share. I love watching you, your dogs and videos.
Do you have any tips on clicker training multiple dogs? I want to work with two of my dogs but don’t want to confuse them when they hear the clicker for the other’s training. Plus, they both then get excited/competitive when they hear the clicker for a treat.
I hope to adopt a dog soon, I’ve been doing countless amounts of research and so far I’ve really enjoyed watching this channel. I’ve actually recently taking into account the positive reinforcement training seems to be the way. Before I thought it was all about “being the pack leader” Honestly I never really liked the idea of a “pack leader”. I would like to live with a companion rather than have a lower ranked animal being forced to do what I say because the animal thinks I will punish them. But I still am a bit skeptical on how you deal with a “Red Zone” dog. So for the best way I’ve found out how to avoid having a Red Zone dog is to socialize your dog as much as possible at a young age. Also kikopup is really pretty 🙂

Positive reinforcement is by far the easiest way to teach a dog what you want it to do. It just works. It’s the whole ‘dominance’ myth supported by the notion of ‘pack leader’ I disagree with. We don’t dominate our children so why our animals ? Dogs are family members which could be regarded as part of a ‘pack’ the same way humans can be a ‘pack’. It’s a miss-used term in my opinion.
We teach our dogs the way we teach our kids. Things like good manners, good from bad behaviour, where to toilet, what we expect etc.
The hard (and best) bit is us learning how to communicate this to our dogs effectively. That’s the challenge. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘red zone’ dogs. I guess you mean dog aggressive or human aggressive dogs. It depends on what’s causing the aggression. Fear aggression can definitely be counter conditioned, it just takes time and patience. I don’t know about other types of aggression, but anything that’s been learned can be relearned in a different way.
Don’t Shoot The Dog covers all the 8 methods of changing behavior. It’s a great short read, maybe 200 pages. It was my first training book and Karen Pryor knows how to right. Also check anything from dogwise publishing.
Getting a puppy in a few months and super nervous, so finding this channel is really helpful – thank you!
Hello! Great videos!
One question, what are you giving as treats?
Thank you and keep up with the great videos!!
how long do spend on basic training? Is there a specific amount of time to spend on each or is it just until they get it down? And I know it’s good to switch it up and make it interesting so do you do that with the basics or stick with the same routine? Thank you!
This is so helpful, thanks! I am getting a new puppy on Tuesday, and we got her a dog bed that I am going to put in my room.
How did you teach your dog to just lie on the couch like that?.. it’s amazing 😀
Yeah, he don’t look at the treats ! 😀
Loving all your videos. I have a 4 month old border collie who is super intelligent so i want to teach him all that i can. With all the things he can learn should we concentrate on one trick per week with some training each day or alternate days/tricks? How long do you think i should keep reinforcing the stay in the bed as he does so well while we are in “training mode” but all other times doesnt listen so well? Thanks
I used this on my 4 month old puppy, thinking it wouldn’t work but wow. Took 5 minutes. Thanks!
Signe Christensen oh really? I just put him on his bed and say sleep on this if he doesn’t want that i cuddle with him then say ok now go to bed and he goes took me 5 minutes as well
Well that gives me good thoughts then.. Cause i have a 4 month old Dorberman and was nerves..lol
I love how this method can be applied to also teaching your dog to walk away from you and then lie down on cue. Say for during a routine or something.
Yeah! I really need to work on that with Halo. Thanks for reminding me!
I need to practice this in my office! Would be nice to have it on hand, when I have a visitor who doesn’t particularly enjoy my boy’s company.
Love how your videos are always straight to the point👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
Love your videos! My puppy is too clever and doesn’t fall for me pretending to throw the treat. What should I do?
I love love love your videos! For this one though, I’ve tried this for about three days straight now, and can’t seem to get past the “throwing a treat on the bed” stage. When I pretend to throw a treat, my dog just looks at the bed, looks at me, looks at my hand, and then puts his head on my knee to wait for the treat! Any suggestions for a dog who’s not fooled by the “pretend throw”?
Continue working on actually throwing the treat until they start thinking to do it on their own. I’m training this with my 3 year old dog right now and I do 5-10 minute training for place 2 times a day at least. It’s been 4 days of this and we are just now to the pretending to throw step. Every dog is different!
My dog does the same.. Always take forever to learn a new trick and it makes me so sad
Hi, from what age can we introduce the bed to a puppy? Will it confuse him whether he should relax in the crate or in the bed? and will it make him reluctant to go to the crate at night?
My puppy will jump in his bed when I don’t give command and stare at me as he knows he usually gets treats if he goes there voluntarily 😂 also when I try to train the settle, he just gets up out of the bed eventually when he thinks food isn’t coming 😒
What a smart dog! Very informative video. Thank you for posting.
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life’s work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
