I trained my Malinois since she was 11 weeks with your videos, now she's 8 months and we just started training with your scent detection videos. Your videos have been the most helpful and I cannot be more happy with how good my dog is learning. Thanks you so much! You're awesome and keep up the good work!

[@NateSchoemer]

That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'm happy the videos are helpful. Malinois are so much fun to train. I'm sure you're having a blast! :)

[@GK-mv1vu]

Thank you! Great that you show diffrent dogs and how not every dog will learn the same, very realistic. Are all new puppies yours?

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! All the puppies belong to friends of mine. They are letting me train them for my videos. :)

Thanks for detailed information and recording different types of dogs. All are super individual

[@helenayemetz6571]

Hi Nate, Thank you so much for all your great videos!!! You are one of the BEST dog trainers that can be found on KZbin!!! I'm always looking forward to new videos that you're posting, and I'm very excited to be able to add new commands to enjoy with my 9 months old German Shepherd. Please make a video that teaches the role over command that you've mentioned in this video. Thanks again, you are awesome!!!

The best channel so far. Since I am new in training our dog. God bless you Sir

[@lindaincolorado7854]

This video was SOOOO helpful for me!! My yorkie has an aversion to lying on his side. I would sometimes feel like a failure as a trainier when he did not follow the lure because training videos on other sites made it look so easy. Ever since I saw THIS video, I have been able to relax and make more progress on getting him to lay on his side. So, thank you so much!! 👍👍

Hi Nate, I find the way you show the steps of each technique absolutely amazing and enlightening. My current puppy is a 6 month old 40kg Great Dane called Bea. I've been using your techniques and I'm proud to say she's becoming the most well trained pup I've ever had! She's even done some of the beginning steps of scent training successfully 😊. I now recommend your techniques to my friends and strangers who stop and compliment Bea.

[@nolafox5524]

Awesome video. Love watching you train the dog’s. My Biewer does sit lie down and roll over. When I try keep her there with a bang bang she looks at me like I’m crazy. So cute.

[@NateSchoemer]

Lol! Thanks! Sounds like you have a fun goofy pup! :)

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

Your comment cracked me up--in any event, even if your stinker doesn't do it perfectly, it sounds like you're having fun, which is probably the primary goal with a "non-neccessary" "command" (just looking at this now to teach my German Shepherd, I may have the same level of success as you--we'll see, lol. As long as we're having fun!! It's the recall, sits, downs, heels, place, etc. that are more important to get 100%--this is "gravy" and fun, lol). PS: Nate recently posted about a "scent box", I'm really stoked to yet that, will be very fun for my dog & a good "relationship builder" exercise. Unless we're doing hardcore competitional obedience, I think it's sometimes valuable to recognize the "non-negotiable" behavioral training & commands vs. the fun things that are nice to have in the obedience arsenal, but don't necessarily need to be perfect😁

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

Plus: maybe when she looks at you like "you are crazy", perhaps you are a little, right? Otherwise, how could we love these stinkers so much?!?😝💖

[@aliciaz1501]

No one did tutorials better than you. Now you added to another level illustrating with 4 dogs. I guess I will expect 4 versions from now on. 😀 Spock is the most beautiful dog. Can’t wait to see him full grown. My GSD only does it if he is in the down position. If I ask him while he is standing, he will be like ‘what are you saying’. Is it just more repetitions using lure while he is standing?

[@NateSchoemer]

Thank you, Alicia! I appreciate that. Yes, I start teaching this with the pup in the down. Once they know that physical cue, we can show the pup how to do the command in the sit and stand position. It'll just take more repetitions, as you suspected. :)

[@christianabrasher5881]

I had to use a more exaggerated lure and move Atlas’s head to his shoulder to get him to do it. We are working on a better hand signal and the verbal now.

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Being able to adjust for each individual dog is the art of dog training. Well done! :)

[@christianabrasher5881]

Thanks!!

[@randomamerican471]

I'm adding this one to my Rottweilers commands. She already does sit, stand, come, place, and down with hand/verbal commands. I was wondering what was next, hehe. Thank you for your video Nate.

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! I'm sure you and your pup is going to have fun with this one. Let me know how it goes. :)

@@Joshuaxiong2 You're a funny guy. Do you have a dog?

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

@@randomamerican471 let's train together, lol. Wish you lived in my neighborhood, my German Shepherd has all the "basics", but we're trying to learn more. My stinker became slowly increasingly reactive to dogs & prey animals on walks. Long story, but I had to go back to HARDCORE basic obedience. Now we hear constant comments on how well behaved my boy is (but there's a Jekyll & Hyde hiding under the surface when his drives are triggered--I'm working on management of those drives with fairly good success). No one else in the neighborhood seems to put thought or time into training. Would be fun to train & chat with others. Did you see Nate's recent video about setting up a scent box? That looks super awesome, excited to try that, I KNOW my dog will LOVE that, lol!!

[@minnickphotography8306]

@NateSchoemer we keep going over it but pup isn’t picking it up to do independently. We’ve worked on it three days

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

When I taught my Pomeranian to play dead, on his own after I 'shot' him, he would spin around once or twice before 'dying'. 😁

8:20 Aaah , I already wondered wether the Jiu Jitsu shirts mean that you are also into this sport! Sadly, I almost stopped Jiu Jitsu since I got my puppy 3 months ago.

[@LeighaMason88]

My dog was kinda like Charlie, but I ended up teaching her this trick with a different lure- I put her in a down position, and then lured her nose to the side & back towards her ear/neck and it would make her flop over on her side.

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@Herbiesgamingchannel.]

I have a beagle will it learn

[@ThisIsMe3699]

Nate, you have a full house. Good stuff.

[@NateSchoemer]

Lol! Yes, we do. Thanks, Kevin! :)

[@souperiorh]

Nice video Nate! My pup has developed a lazier sit his back legs go outward how can I sharpen this to make sure all his muscles are engaged in the sit. Should I get a shaping box or what? Thanks

[@souperiorh]

16w rottie btw

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes, you can try a shaping box or go back to just the physical cue and add a new command once the sit is the way you like it. Some people will use slight leash pressure and use their hands to tuck the dog's butt into position. So they have sharper-looking sit, instead of the rocking sit.

[@souperiorh]

@@NateSchoemer thank you for the help, it means alot!

[@lisasternenkind6467]

My last Rottweiler would not learn roll over. I could lure him half way, but for the rest of the room, the lord did not work, as he just turned back and tried to get at the lured treat or toy from the other side.

[@disha-thedoberman]

How can I get my dog to sit close to me ( like Arie does ) while taking treats ? She just backsoff a bit and waits for the treat.

[@NateSchoemer]

Usually, it will come down to reward placement. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2fYdqqGq8qBjrM

[@BT-rz1uw]

a guy in my neighborhood has a malinois that he never trained anything more than "sit" and he complains that the dog is constantly barking and chewing. i have told him that when my doberman pup gets older i'd love to help train his dog but he ignores me when i talk about it. why do people get such intelligent, high-energy dogs when they have no intention of fulfilling their needs? I love how intelligent my doberman is, but he doesn't have anywhere near the raw drive that this malinois has. i'm curious what i could teach this enthusiastic bundle of energy in just a few days lol intelligence and drive are vastly different

[@NateSchoemer]

That's a great question. I think it's mostly because people see a cool dog in a movie (Malinois in John Wick 3), and they believe if they buy one, it'll be just as trained and responsive to commands as the one in the movie is. This is what happened to the Dalmatians, and it's been coined as the 101 Dalmatians syndromes. Research has shown that when Hollywood highlights a specific dog breed, it increases the breed's popularity for ten years or more. Then because of these uneducated people countless beautiful and amazing dogs end up in the shelters.

[@roguephoenix]

how do you get them to keep their head down though? that's the piece of the puzzle my dog is still missing.

[@NateSchoemer]

You can keep the food lure in position, then as you move away, mark and reward multiple times, just like I was doing with Arih. Just make sure your dog's head is in the correct position before marking. :)

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

I'm so curious to know, and haven't found an answer reading through comments--IS Spock a purebred Sheltie? Or is he a Sheltie-Aussie Shepherd mix? His coloring & intelligence makes me think Sheltie-Aussie Shepherd mix, but I can't tell. He IS 100% adorable & awesome, that's easy to see!!!

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

The more I look at him, the more I think purebred Sheltie based on his adorable long snout. But the coloring & over the top intelligence makes me think there's Aussie Shepherd in that adorable mix!!!

[@Karina-Loves-Andreas]

Or maybe he's a full Collie, but a puppy?? What is this crazy, gorgeous, adorable dog??

[@NateSchoemer]

He’s a full rough collie.😁🐶

[@GK-mv1vu]

My dog is like Charlie have been working with him on this trick it took me 4 days to just teach him to lie down on the side🤣

[@NateSchoemer]

Lol! Yeah, some can be more challenging than others. 🤣

[@sylviamcneill4372]

Rusty already has the mechanics of this trick as he lays on either side during grooming and nail trimming. I thought I would add the specific behavior, though, but cannot even pretend to "shoot" my pup so am going to call it "Faint!" We'll see how it goes. 😁

[@NateSchoemer]

Haha! Faint is a fun and different spin on the playing dead trick.

[@pearlynrodrigues4816]

My shih tzu is unable to do it without luring idk why 1 month has passed since I have been training him to do this

[@NateSchoemer]

Make sure you are saying the command before you present the physical cue. Check out this video to see what I mean: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF7bYWiBj7-So7s

[@darknightlmg5666]

Okay so I got a dog 3 weeks ago and ahah she is a biter is she going to grow out of it

[@NateSchoemer]

They usually stop when they are done teething at 6 months of age. If the puppy enjoys biting, then You may need to use a correction to stop the behavior. Correcting the behavior with a quick leash pop. However, you should keep this in mind when adding corrections: Corrections in dog training is when we are using positive punishment to stop an undesired behavior. First, we must keep in mind that everything our dogs do is based on motivation. The motivation to access something pleasant, or the motivation to prevent something unpleasant. If your dog is practicing a behavior that is fun (self-reinforcing behavior), then you have two options to stop this. One; make sure to prevent the dog from being able to practice the undesired behavior. The second option is to use a correction to stop the behavior. A correction can be anything the dog doesn't like. So in the end, the motivation not to receive the correction must override the motivation to do the undesired behavior. If you use a correction and the undesired behavior continues, then the correction is not high enough. Here's an analogy to help understand this concept. It's important to remember that every dog has their bank account (their correction level). Some dogs are very wealthy, and some are penniless, just like people. Let's say that you are speeding down the highway and a police officer pulls you over and writes you a 25 cent-speeding ticket. The second the officer leaves, you will start speeding again because the ticket wasn't high enough to get you to change your behavior. But let's say he pulls you over and writes you a ten-million-dollar speeding ticket, now it's so high that you will avoid driving altogether, and you will be very stressed out. On the other hand, let's say he pulls you over and writes you a $125 speeding ticket. That would be enough to get you to slow down, without causing you to avoid the behavior of driving altogether. This is what we must do with our dogs; we need to correct them at a level that is adequate to their bank account. If the dog doesn't stop the bad behavior, then you may have to increase the correction. Just be sure to correct the dog in the act. In addition, proper corrections should not create a fearful dog. Usually fear when correcting a dog is due to the owner being angry, yelling at the dog, or correcting too hard. When we use a correction, it's simple cause and effect. A correction should never be personal and you should never yell at your dog. Once the correction is done, then we praise and reward our dog when they're doing what we like. If your dog knows why he/she is being corrected and knows how to prevent the correction from happening, then you shouldn't create any fear. Leash pop: This is when you make a snapping motion with the dog’s leash to engage the training-collar to give the dog a correction (a positive-punishment). I hope this helps!

[@matiriv7416]

I would really like teaching my dog to stand on 2 legs but I don't really know how can you please help me Thx:)

[@NateSchoemer]

Most people teach it by luring the dog into position, once in the correct spot, mark, and reward. I'll try to make a video on this in the future. Cheers!

[@deltanovember2296]

@@NateSchoemer that’s what works for me. Certain dogs love it and others really don’t. I don’t force this trick unless they continue to offer it though because I worry about this causing hip pain. I might be wrong but I would be interested to hear your opinion.
