I got a challenge on top: My puppy starts barking at e.g. the broom or vacuum cleaner, so I am worried that it is either too much - or I reward him at the wrong timing, so he thinks "Great, I just need to bark at it and I get my treat". Any videos you can recommend?
@jemmacarpenter9 сағат бұрын
@@KatrinBaier-g1j hello! Yes timing is very important in this instance. Make sure you only reward when the dog is not barking. Start by rewarding them next to the trigger (broom/vacuum) whilst it is off and they are not barking. Turn it on and then off straight away - if they manage to remain calm keep rewarding, if they start barking wait for them to stop and then reward and try again. You can then slowly build up the duration it is on before the reward until they understand good things happen when they are calm and that rewards stop when they bark. Alternatively you can check out my video on boundary games which gives the dog something to do so they understand they must calmly stay on the boundary whilst you vacuum. Do you think they are barking because they are scared of the vacuum/broom or overly aroused/excited by it? Either way both techniques should work just be patient and take it slowly to maximise their chance of success.

@ It does take time as it’s not a natural movement for them. Build lots of value and understanding for targeting the stick with their paw in front first before crossing over and when you do start to cross I placed the stick on top of the other paw initially and then gradually moved further over a little each time! Keep me posted and good luck! 🤞🏻

I missed you coming back from your travels and you have a new dog now? How old is she? I remember doing this training with my boy and it's all good in theory but every dog breed is different. Border collies are famously known as the most trainable breed in the world. I had the most untrainable breed, known to obey when they'd want to. So with some food and without distractions all would go well. But because of the breed he was always a goofball when out and about. I wonder if you could guess what dog I had. He was a good guard dog, only barked to alert me of danger, like said obeyed commands 70% of the time when perfectly trained. Average life expectancy 13 years. Originally bred to hunt very large prey. Double layer of fur to keep him warm. Very stubborn and strong willed but he had a heart of gold and was never a dull day with him. I don't know if you've ever wondered if dogs love their owners? I have thought about it. Like obviously dogs are always very loving, that is why they are such a good pet, but is it because they are pack animals and genetically programmed to be naturally affectionate to their pack or do they genuinely love their owner because they choose to? It's just something I've wondered about in the past and I'm not sure I could ever get a border collie for that reason. I could never be sure he'd be truly loyal. Lets say a border collie was kidnapped and loved just as much by his new owner. Would he remain loyal or would be quickly adapt to his new environment and be a dog showing affection all over again no matter who to..? I know it's such a superficial thing really but I've seen owners be rather abusive at times and still the breed they had was just naturally obedient and would always rather be with them than not despite not getting any love in return. It's just something that I find interesting about dogs. Have a nice christmas.

How do you train your dog for close off lead proximity??
@Zajuts149Ай бұрын
I had a border collie that would run off a bit when I let him loose on the trail in the woods. His callback wasn't honed either. I started using his slight separation anxiety to engage in hide-and-seek whenever he got too far away or out of sight. I would hide off-trail and make a little squeal. It didn't take long before he was conditioned to always check back on me and not go out of sight for too long. I got him better trained at callback, but one thing he did very well, because it is in his nature, was to lie down on command, and he would stay down until I came up to him. This was particularly useful when meeting other dogs on the trail.😊
@jemmacarpenterАй бұрын
@ yes I find hide and seek a fun game to reinforce checking in too! I would agree a distant down is a very useful skill which Chase also picked up very easily but sometimes I just want him to stay within a closer proximity and not keep running off (even if he does check back in!) 😃
@Zajuts149Ай бұрын
@jemmacarpenter if he is food driven, try using treats that are even more enticing than his daily kibble. I tested out different kinds, and it wasn't always the expensive stuff that he liked best. I would always give treats by hand. If he likes toys, they can be great too. I learnt only very late how obsessed he got with squeaky balls and would come running when I squeezed them. If I carried a ball thrower, he would barely leave my side, in case I was going to throw a ball. He, of course, went through the stage of wanting me to throw toys but wouldn't give them up. I found out quickly that carrying a spare was a good way to train him to give up the toys he had fetched. I think it is more in the nature of border collies to range farther from their owners than hunting breeds do. Sheep dogs must sometimes go pretty far away to find their charges and collect them in hilly and mountainous terrain. We have such a long season here in Norway when it is mandatory to keep dogs on a lead(almost 5 months), that a high-energy dog like a border collie can become physically understimulated unless you find ways to wear them out. I found that bicycling with a springer lead was just the thing in summer.
@m4rtin419Ай бұрын
curiously enough this is something I never 'trained' explicitly with my border collie, she just learned it automatically. When she was young and playing with other dogs and went too far off, then I would start to say in moderate voice "nicht weiter" (no further) and she would stay in the same proximity or come back. I now use it for walks and hikes as well and it works better then the actual "wait" command (I have an additional emergency recall command to be safe). I think it demonstrates the empathy and learning capabilities of border collies. But I will try to implement your food tip, as I want to get away from having to say something and let her do the decision to come back regularly.
