What I really liked about this video was reasonableness. I'm able to say 'yeah that's how real life works' with these situations. From what I've heard from people, neutering indeed can both worsen or help aggression, for example. And yes, I agree it's important to try understand the psychological process the dog is going through, it's a creature seeking truths in this world as much as you are. That's what is truly remarkable about us. Often the original problem about us is not paying attention, or being fixated to only some truths.

I agree with a lot of this. However, I’m probably much more against the regular use of treats and clickers than you are. I wholeheartedly believe that learning how to correct your dog (like a dog) is key. If we look at how dogs communicate with each other and correct each other, it’s rarely pretty, and there sure is never any treats involved. In essence, treats and rewards should never be used in conjunction with bad behaviors. Bad behaviors should only be corrected, and you can’t be afraid of physically correcting your dog. This doesn’t mean hurting your dog, by the way, for any fools out there. It usually means a physical bump, moving in front of your dog, or grabbing their neck scruff. None of this hurts your dog. Not even remotely. This should also be combined with a specific verbal correction that you’ve decided on. Lower your tone, be firm and confident, and deliver it with an abruptiveness. If you learn how to growl as well, then you get a gold star. Using treats and other reward tools are ok, ONLY if you’re teaching them something new, like a trick. Not during or after correcting a behavior. This only leads to confusion. Moreover, the best reward for your dog will always be you and your love. Exude happiness, goluckyness, increase the pitch of your voice, play with them briefly. Etc, etc. Ultimately, learn to be like a dog, and be a clear leader to your dog. This means correcting your dog (like a dog), and being your dog’s best friend and favorite person in the world when they’re behaving. Also, never correct with emotion. That is not going to help anything. Correct with confidence and firmness. Be aware of your inner emotional state and work on that. Good luck.

[@jenniferrahm3600]

I think the saying 'Your dog trains you' is true. You can teach many dogs the same thing, but each learn differently and you have to learn the way that works best for them. If you learn while they learn, you are going to be a pretty solid team. I still do commands with my dog, but no treats are used anymore. She has learned and we are just honing those skills. Repetition is key. Your pitch, hand signals, body language should all trump the treat rewards.

Loving your channel mate, lots of good advice for people struggling with high energy, high drive dogs (like me). You explain things very clearly and logically.

[@leerolfe5332]

Massive sub matey! The last bit about training a dog to do nothing is what I've been trying to explain to the wife for the last 6 months with our 11 month old Parson Russell. She keeps saying he needs more exercise and he gets an hour a day, everyday come rain or shine. I come from a dog family though and this is her first so I can't complain. She's better with him than me.🤣

[@olk3]

Some great points, especially re the neutering and exercise. We had a Standard Poodle who was trained to Olympic athlete level. Three hours running around the ski slopes in summer, a little nap, and he's ready for tug and fetch. We could have loaned him out to people as a weight-loss aid 😂

[@mattbates481]

Brilliant video and I was in the same boat as you four years ago when I first started out my company. You can never underestimate the power of marking, which you demonstrated in the R+ subtle as it was to the untrained eye. The other thing that I quickly learnt was if you cannot communicate with people you will never succeed in dog training. You have to be able to improvise in a split second to each individual scenario. Great videos as always

[@canine_coach]

From the beginning you should teach a marker word for correct behavior (i did "yes") and getting a food reward, and keep increasing the time from marker word to reward. So you can still let your dog know it's doing something correctly, even if you have no food.

[@IkkeKendt]

You mentioned lead pressure and while I somewhat understand the concept, when I search for training methods to this I get nothing. Can you do a video where you go through the structure of training leash pressure? It might seem obvious to some, but even for me that understands the idea/concept of the result, have a hard time incorporating the process in my training and walks.

[@canine_coach]

I'm a dog trainer from the Netherlands. Pressure & Release This technique teaches your dog that leash pressure/tension will always release when the dog follows the direction. (- Give a verbal cue) - Apply appropriate tension to the leash , preferably steering the neck of the dog where you want it to go. - As soon as your dog moves to the desired direction or position, release the pressure. This teaches your dog that moving in the direction of the leash pressure, brings comfort, and a release of tension.

[@IkkeKendt]

​@@canine_coach It might seem like a small thing, but I didn't realise that the verbal cue was part of it, because on the videoes I have seen, they just show how the leash pressure works. Thank you!

[@TheBiaggio12]

I have a genuine question about anchoring as you called it. Is letting dog out to the balcony a good way to teach her do nothing ? For now whenever i let her out, she just lay down and watch pepople passing by. And she can lay there sometimes for 15 min and somtimes for a straight hour or two basically chilling. Is it a good thing for her or i should rather put her on leash and just wait for her to chill out near my desk or iin the kitchen ?

[@Becarian789]

You are absolutely right, but I think the presenter is trying to teach the very first fundament - as before you become efficient with how you use rewards you must understand how they stimulate the dog.

[@dinnyf]

Food is not the right reward for every dog and every training situation. Some dogs become too energetic in the presence of food and it actually slows learning. Each dog is different and i use food, play, different types of touch or voice, depending on the excitablity and attention span of the individual dog and even the individual day.

[@greatbasinman]

I wish instead of removing dogs reproduction though spaying and neutering, would involve vasectomies with males, and OSS with females. I think testosterone and estrogen are extremely important to the overall everyday health of the dog. I know there can be a few complications with OSS but with enough skilled Veterinarians, both procedures could be common practice, probably wishful thinking on my part 😎😎😎

[@ajoy3939]

You talk about neutering and give great advice for male dogs but what about female dogs? I have a un-nutrered chihuahua who is reactive to my new bulldog puppy. I’m wanting to get both neutered. I was hopefully it would help with the Chihuahua reactions. Do you have any advice for the pros and cons of neutering females?

[@_--____--______--___]

The whole neutering thing is what ALL vets should be telling people. I've been told in the past that taking their nads off can make fear/aggression/nervousness a lot worse and they will refuse to operate until that dog has been to a trainer. It can also go the other way. I have a coworker who neutered his dog that had a "perfect" temperament and after a few weeks, he became highly aggressive towards other dogs and fearful of his owner. Because of the aggression, that guys wife refuses to go into the kennel where they keep 3 of their 5 dogs just in case that 1 dog attacks her.

[@lindsay9678-l8l]

Age of dog when neutering contributes

[@_--____--______--___]

@lindsay9678-l8l I think be was either 2 or 3 at the time which is a bad age for getting them done. I've heard that you have better luck neutering boys as puppies. I won't even get my 15 month old Labrador neutered because he became a nervous wreck overnight shortly after he turned 6 months old. The vet said "yeah, that can happen", so now I'm stuck with a dog that is constantly on edge whenever I walk him 🤦🏼‍♂️. I'm hoping that it's just a fear period and not something that'll be lifelong because he used to be really confident.

[@lindsay9678-l8l]

@@_--____--______--___ For small dogs getting them done younger is OK but for larger dogs it's best to wait until they're about 2 anyway because development is slower. When it comes to vets advice on neutering I'd take it with a pinch of salt tbh. My boy had complications which is common for his breed but I wasn't told that until after it happened, prior to that I was told complications were rare and it's unlikely he'll be affected because he's strong and healthy. Temperament wise he hasn't changed, we already worked on his behaviour tho. Do your research specifically for labs and weight up pros/ cons for neutering, I was naive and took the vets words at face value. My others boys were never neutered and I had no problems with them.

In one of your videos you mentioned that if you could go back in time you would only use kibble as a training reward, and to your point I get different types of treats every once in a while, and my dog always seems to get over them after a while. My dog (5 mo old Retriever) has a resource guarding issue, even with high reward treats (sausage, meat, etc) it takes some time to get him away from what he is hoarding (most of the time socks and napkins). What is your overall advice with dealing with resource hoarding? And can I help him get over it with only kibble?

Try feeding your dog by hand for a week or 2. Don’t let him eat anything unless it’s out of your hand. Good luck

Should you reward your dog for doing nothing?

[@dinnyf]

Define reward?

[@dinnyf]

Also, define nothing. I routinely reward with (attention and praise) my dogs for being in a settled state of mind or for being on “place”. That looks a lot like “rewarding for nothing” to people who don’t train dogs for a living. In fact i want more of the exact behaviour I’m rewarding. I have very calm, non anxious dogs because i am rewarding the subtle behaviour of calm. Most anxious, reactive and aggressive dogs are inadvertently getting reinforcement for being in those negative states. Example: A whining dog gets a calming “you’re okay” and a cuddle from the owner. That is literally rewarding the behaviour you don’t want! Happens constantly!!

[@kkrab123]

This dog is clicker trained. VERY different!!

[@oneminuteremainingpodcast5121]

Why is it different, if you have a reactive dog then you should be going back to basics and if the dog doesn’t have a marker such as the clicker then that’s where you start. You’ve got to take things right back to the basics and slowly build the exposure

[@jirikolar8601]

I wonder why the dog community is so strict on positive reinforcement only.
