This was a lovely video of desensitization, distraction training, socialization, and supporting your dog! I will be sharing it with my clients, even ones who have non-working dogs. 🙂 If I may give some feedback on the audio - the music was just a little too loud compared to your voice over. I have trouble processing speech when there is competing background noise. 🙃

I've been watching dog training videos and attempting to apply them to my feline as I've been attempting to make her into my service animal due to my lack of ability to care for a dog (walks and the ability to go out everyday). I've failed somewhat in some places and was wondering what advice you'd have for a "covid puppy" type situation. (Due to covid, and due to the fact I cannot drive, I've been unable to socialize her properly to people and she's skittish. For when I can actually get to be around people daily, how could I fix this when she's now 4? (Got her at 1.5 yrs))

It depends where you are if or not a cat would qualify as a service animal. Your best bet would be to look at shelter protocols for feral cats. Good luck!

@supernaturalbc2008 When I adopted her (from Petsmart), I gave her the test typically given to puppies selected as service dogs, with mild tweaks for feline body language. She was the one that passed. I'm simply not in control of my ability to go to public places (stores) for socializing. I was asking if you had tips for socializing after the animal is older than intended. Edit: I'm in the USA and I'm aware she's not going to legally be a service animal, however the space a mini-horse would need is also out of the question and dogs are again, outside my abilities some days.

It's so hard to find training environments for me and my dog!! We can't go anywhere that isn't pet friendly here in Canada because we're not working with a service dog organization. So far everywhere that IS pet friendly is very overstimulating and exciting for my dog, like the pet store, or else is very overwhelming and overstimulating for me, like Canadian Tire, or other large busy stores. When I feel overwhelmed, I get much worse at dog training, and when my dog gets overwhelmed, he's worse at learning. I tried contacting some stores and little malls and stuff that I knew had a quieter environment to see if I could get permission to train there, but the answer was always no. Parking lots are hard for me because of the cars and people and dirt, but we do practice in some parking lots. So far the only places I train my dog regularly are at my home, in parking lots, and at the dog park. We started taking a therapy dog class together, and the teacher was super supportive and let us come to the building to train in the hallway several times a week, but I think it's too hard for my dog because there are just so many dogs there in such a tight space, like 10 or 15 will come by in a row, always pulling on leash towards him, so he never really gets to the point where he can calm down and not worry about them, and I think he needs to START calm, and THEN add the other dogs into the picture lol. Even my parent's house is no good because they have a dog who constantly wants to play with my dog, and they don't really have a good way to put him away. Any tips for a good first training location for a dog who needs to slowly get used to buildings and noise, and isn't ready for a busy store?
@supernaturalbc2008 18 күн бұрын
Yes, go the the more boring parts of the store. I usually start dogs in the paint section. All the items are contained and the few people that visit are very focussed on what they are looking for. I just stay away from them until they move on. Time of day can be important. Go when it's slower like over lunch hour or later in the evening.

@@Aaalllyyysssaaaaa Also, taking a friend can help support you while you train your dog! I often suggest training in teams. I do it myself. Check out local social media groups and ask for other handlers looking for a training partner. It doesn't have to be a service dog either. Pet owners want to help their dog become good community members and this is one way to do that!

All the info in the videos is still very much relevant. You can adapt as needed. As the person with the severe, I recommend you don't train it yourself. Too big of a risk. Get someone else to train and maintain it for you. :)

Serious question, please. As learning trainers, we’re frequently warned to avoid repetition drills so as to keep from losing our dog’s interest. Indeed I’ve found that true with my border collie who quickly becomes bored, confused or frustrated with repetitive training. He doesn’t understand the point. How is it that top trainers can use repetitiion drills and still get bright-eyed interest, compliance and cooperation? I think this is where the “art” part of being a great trainer comes in. Please try to explain-? Thank you!
@supernaturalbc2008 3 ай бұрын
That's a great question! That's because we constantly push the window of what the dog can do, a little at a time. Make it a little harder, then easy. Then a little harder. Think about a computer game. That's what keeps players hooked! While the game is always getting more challenging, there are easy parts too to keep us motivated. Overcoming the hard parts is a huge reinforcer. Also we vary it up with the types of reinforcers (not just types of food and toys but massage and environmental rewards by applying Premack Principle).We keep the sessions shorter than you think. For example, I used to do 10 reps per training session with my previous dogs. With Clover I do about 4 or 5 then we do something different or take a break. Great timing also helps speed the dogs understanding of what we want. Marking the exact moment that the behavior happens, rather than half a second later. So it's a variety of things applied at the same time. It really depends on the dog in front of you how tolerant they are to the way the teacher carries things out! It really helps to video yourself and watch your technique and how the dog responds. Good luck!

I can’t seem to teach this kill to my 9 month cavalier. Hired a very expensive well known at home private dog trainer too. I have stacks of books on training dogs, always had dogs. Full AKC and a couple of rescues but never encountered such a difficult dog to train. She is totally house broken , crate trained too so at least that’s not an issue. Issues with aggressive chewing have tapered down with Cadet rolls and tendon bully sticks. She polishes those off quickly even though they are large and log. Please advise
@supernaturalbc2008 11 ай бұрын
Are you using something your dog values? Have you ruled out vision issues with your dog? I'd start with something large that's easy to see. Is the location where you are training quiet so your dog can focus? There could be many reasons why your dog isn't learning this. You'll need to erase them out.
@jaquelinedeponce5251 9 ай бұрын
Still can’t make my now 12month cavalier follow a pointed finger to anything. Her sniffer’s working to the extreme but, she will not follow my physically pointing to her toys although she clearly wants to play and run after them when thrown. She retrieves but drops them a yard away waiting for another round. She looks intently at you but not the finger pointing. Ugh. She will chase after an errant kibble but pointing to another “treat” which she understands she just stares at me if it’s out of her nose range. Lol, meanwhile my 8 year old Havanese sees where I’m pointing and goes to get it.

@supernaturalbc2008 Жыл бұрын
You could choose another behavior as a cue.There are often many subtle behaviors, that come before an anxiety attack, not just one. The scratching is just an example to show you how to teach the process. I'd also look at the reason they are scratching. If it's due to allergies or dry skin, that would need to be addressed.

She is a nearly 3-year-old Siberian Husky, and I'm taking her to college as an ESA, training to become a service dog. Any advice?
@supernaturalbc2008 Жыл бұрын
With dogs that have not been socialized, it's key to do deliberate and very structured training sessions with predictable humans who can follow instructions before taking them into public places where people are unpredictable. Avoid trigger stacking. Classical and Operant Conditioning processes can help. Take a look at careforreactivedogs.com for an explanation. Good luck!

My doggo is also a bit scared. He's improved a lot since we have done a lot of confidence training. You should play loud noises on your TV or phone and turn it down a lot. You want it to be loud enough for them to hear it but not too loud so it doesn't scare them too much. Every time there is a loud noise, give them a treat. Once they are okay with that after a few sessions, turn the volume up a bit. After a while they will think that loud noises = food. You can also redirect them by making them sit or lay down when a loud noise happens to distract their brain. It also helps to drop some keys into a bucket, or a spoon into a metal bucket and give them treats every time it happens. You can drop metal bowls or throw keys and loud metal objects around on a hard floor so it makes a loud noise. If you have carpet floors you can make loud noises with a bottle or a plastic or metal jar with nails and screws in it. Only train them for 1 or two minutes at a time so you don't overwhelm them. I HIGHLY recommend training in places like Home Depot too since they have a lot of loud noises from machines, weird smells, large aisles and an outdoor plant area. It's also pet friendly. I think Lowes is also pet friendly. It's a great place to train because of all of the distractions.

Find a test that you like (I prefer the BC Assessment as it breaks the behaviors down very small so it's easy measure). Find a trainer that has a good eye for detail and shaping. Do a practice test. Find where the holes are. Train beyond those specifics. Test again and video continuously!
