Have you tried using kibble as opposed to treats? They are slightly less exciting but still a reward.

I would recommend to teach the dog "touch" first. And then use that to introduce the toy. And the treats can be in a pouch not your hand . Only after they do what you are trying to get them to do then do you put your hand in the pouch to get the treat. Good luck!

My Pyr let’s bunnies and squirrels hop on by ignoring them. They’re not supposed to have any prey drive

In the Pyrenees Mountains, the shepherds would traditionally not feed their flock guardian dogs. These dogs would hunt for their own foods - such as rabbits.@@OffGridDogs

Try gerber meat sticks (yes the baby kind). My guy is not a very big eater but loves the meat sticks for clicker training

Try freeze dried meat dog treats. they can be broken really small and are more nutritional for your dog. If your dog just isn't food motivated, try other things. Try rewarding with a toy or some play, or even just giving affection.

Or tiny pieces of boiled chicken. (No salt, pepper, seasonings obviously)

Yea I want to know! I have a great pyr

Does he like to get brushed? That can be a good treat. If your dog is not food motivated you have the holy grail for a guard dog. This is the trait that is very important for a guard dog, yet few dogs have it.

What do you use for treats when training?

That is so great!! I'm so glad to hear your pup learned this and that the video helped.

@@allfourpawsofflorida Yea she 13weeks and quite a quick learner I see.

He was 10 months when I made this video.

Great stuff.

Let me know how it goes! Happy training.

@@allfourpawsofflorida I will 😁

Same here, my friend. I'm pretty much at the "Fukkit" stage with my pyre. XD XD XD

You are welcome. Crazy story, when I first adopted Wulife we were driving to the beach one morning. While we were stopped at a red light, unbeknownst to me he was fixated on a flock of ducks off in the grass. Thankfully he was fastened to the harness and seatbelt, he jumped out of my car (window was only down half way). I quickly put the car in park and ran to him, he was just suspended an inch above the ground, still fastened to the seat belt which was then dangling over the outside of the car. I was able to unclip him and get him back into the car safely. I know for sure this seat belt is strong and durable. I am so grateful it held up as I know for sure it would have been a bad situation that day with the cars and the potential to run off.

All Four Paws of WPB wonderful example and for all of us who have GP’s , this seatbelt could come in handy !! Thanks so much for sharing 😊 btw this belt could help any dogs but I was referring to GP has a mind of their own most of time .

Thank you so much! Yes he is a good boy. Training helps so much to allow us to enjoy our pups! Thanks for the feedback. 🐶

I’m not a trainer, just a Pyr owner, and my vet, my dog’s trainer and his kennel staff have all told me an invisible fence will NOT contain a Pyr. Mine is 7 yrs old now- and I fully agree. We had a physical fence put in instead when he was a pup. They’re just so headstrong. I have a friend whose Pyr climbs her physical fence and escapes- so she always goes out with him now. They can be a challenge to contain- but they are still big sweethearts.

These are nice. A behaviorist I worked with a while back recommended them and they work very well.

Thank you! Yes they are a special breed. I love their temperament. Check out my latest video where I take my Pyr to Home Depot with me. I would love to see your Pyrs.

All Four Paws of WPB I will definitely check it out as there aren’t enough GP videos out there. My female which is about 11 is a Pyrenees mix and my male is almost 2 and is already hugeeeee !! If you go to my channel , my daughter puts our instagram link in the description box . Please follow as I post a lot of my dog pics there. Wishing you continued success

So glad you enjoyed the video. Congrats on adopting a Pyr! They are a great breed. They have a lot of wonderful traits. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. I'm in south east Florida if you are close by and need a trainer.

That's great let me know how it goes they are a really unique breed.

Thank you!!!

Stay can be a bit challenging. The key is small steps starting with just taking a half a step away and repeating it 10 or 15 times before making it more difficult for the dog.

Thank you!!

A front clipping harness with a martingale loop. I like the "easy walk" brand of harness I am using in this video.

Hi there I made a new video with the harness that I recommend thanks for the inspiration for new content please check it out.

None! Never use a harness

Yes she is so cute!

Thank you I am glad this was interesting and helpful.

Yes he is.

Thanks Josh!
