Chow Chow Training ... getting better 03.22.12

Leo and Max are doing so much better with their "wait" training. This is tuna juice, and for those who saw the first video, they're doing pretty great. They still have issues when one or the other is not finished with their treat, so UP come the dishes as soon as they're done so there is no argument, bared teeth or growling. Leo is the most protective and has snapped, but not drawn blood on Max when Max shows interest in his treat. I think I'll make that other video public, now that I have been assured by my chow chow friends that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was.

OMG they are both so cute!!!!!!!! I really want another blue one after seeing your blue boy....I have a cinnamon, a red, and a black :D

[@RingoandCarlin]

those are some handsome chow dogs

[@cherriemater]

Thank you very kindly!

[@rach-elm.schulz2662]

Beautiful dogs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deborahcangialosi355]

Was raised with Chows since I was a baby, literally, he was 9 mo and so was I. They were not only incredibly intelligent but also protective but can be stubborn. Think she had to much patience considering how smart they are but over all good video.

[@emmagarcia9213]

Los chow chow son maravillosos

[@cherriemater]

Thank you so much. Yes ... they are pretty spectacular and a year later this training has come in very handy in other situations, too. There is no other breed for us, either and we're also very glad we got two together. They are brothers but completely opposite in character ... which makes it all the more fun and entertaining.

[@michthom2522]

Just a quick note to say your boys are beautiful! I just lost my boy, at 15, two weeks ago. I'm heartbroken, but I love seeing these beautiful pups! And yes, our Chows have minds of their own sometimes, but it looks like you have really done some great work with them. Best of luck to you!

[@burtis77]

Love chow chows

[@natevic1867]

Omg they’re both so beautiful ☺️

[@cherriemater]

They are doing SO much better!! We no longer must repeat "Wait" Just one "Sit" and then a "Wait!" They would sit there forever if we were mean people. But, we're not so they get a "Eat!" quickly after obedience. Good boys! {{I need to do a new video!!}}

Woooow the chow chow blue this beatiful

[@cherriemater]

Two very beautifully groomed chows. I'm on my 2nd chow and wouldn't want any other breed. I do love my westie mix too but the chows are unique.

[@Deadbydawn71]

I thought that was good. I only ever had one Chow at a time so it was a bit easier. When my last chow got about four he became so human like/smart. Great dogs.

[@SCOTLANDOKATAKANA]

I found that video uplifting and funny that you actually got chows to do something which they do. i am on my second chow now and i will never have another breed ever now, having found these through my uncle, a breeder. They are the best indoor/outdoor combo dog i have met yet. best of luck.

[@kittydog80]

Great video! They are extra handsome ☺️

[@ecenazerdik]

Wow , amazing 😍

[@edgarcan84]

Beautiful chows I have 1 myself

[@janetdiehl9010]

I have a 14 year old red Chow, but not sure if she is full Chow. People stop me on the street asking about her or saying she is so pretty - and she is!!! Rosie loves to I go on several walks every day, lay in the grass or snow! She is very friendly with people & dogs. Rosie especially likes the attention of little children & seniors. Her best friend was a cat I had; the cat would wash Rosie's face, eyes, and front paws, Rosie would then return the favor! She took care of 4 kittens that I was bottle feeding - she did the washing & cuddleing for 9 weeks. It takes constant grooming to keep her free of fur knots and looking good, but she is my sweet Rosie Posy.

[@cherriemater]

Janet Diehl Oh how sweet! Thank you for sharing.

[@kirby8340]

Teach them the moment they’re brought home. I did this with my female chowchow which was 8 weeks then, and taught her to sit and ‘leave it’ when food is being placed. Now she always sits for her food without me even saying a command.

[@prettycosmos9596]

they beautifull chows congratulations you have nice dogs.

[@freddyfifi7401]

Kissi kissi cuties, May God bless you 😘

[@8745400]

i love chows

[@alotube]

Haha that's cute...I had a Chow, she just passed..so sad still but man it is really hard to train them isn't it. Lot of work and patience but your dogs are beautiful. They sometimes just don't want to do what we want them too lol. They are very entertaining in that aspect I think.

[@dinomatvij833]

It's beautiful dog :)

[@stopcheatingconsumers9779]

I love me some chonk chow chows!!

[@fabianaes5473]

2 boys? Are they neutered? They are beautiful.... many Blessings to you 🙏🏻

[@cesarhernandez8785]

Esos perros son hermosos yo tengo 2

[@InocenteSandoval]

Beautiful dogs. I have a 6 month old brown one named Ted and I'm hoping he comes out looking like yours. How do you groom yours or take care of their coats? Plus mine doesn't look as fluffy as yours. I hope it's cause he's young otherwise I'm guessing he's mixed.

[@rax7]

wow a grey chow. that's rare

[@cherriemater]

He's actually called a "blue." Max is our cinnamon. They are brothers. :D

[@fatimamalik1211]

I've got a blue chow chow

[@monsguerrero3352]

me encanto yo tengo uno esta re bonito

[@yashkamble5082]

nice

[@liorajudahlitewood6051]

Impressive! How long did it take to get them to that level? My old chow was very difficult to train

[@lexwaldez]

Do you ever take the bowls away while they're eating, wait, and then give it back with extra treats? We love our chows too. Yours are beautiful.

[@cherriemater]

Haven't ever taken them away, but they will sit and wait until given the command to eat. They're such good boys!

[@vishalsamplay742]

Don't say the command over and over again because the command becomes sit sit sit wait wait wait

[@cherriemater]

They do just fine. They listen very well and it's never been a problem during their training phase. Thanks for the advice, though.

[@bretmaverick9117]

Wow. You got them a lot farther than I thought possible. ive had a german sheppard and a spitz that I could teach to sit and stay. the basics. But my roommate has a chowchow that's about 6 months old. I swear this dog doesn't care what anyone says. I heard they are more like cats. makes sence. I could never train any of my cats to sit and stay.lol

[@cherriemater]

I need to do a new video because they will wait until I either give them the hand signal or tell them to "eat" or "share" (in the event the treat is only on the same plate for the both of them).

[@sammyblackchow9541]

LOL! Chows are typically hard headed and usually don't need approval from humans. "Go fetch you own stick" he says. My niece took her Chow to the vet thinking she was deaf. Vet just laughed and told her there's nothing wrong with her hearing. He explained to her about a Chow's selective hearing.

[@marianidaestubodesantores6470]

Haha good

[@biankafarell453]

[@tweety2884]

What type of harness do you use? And do they wear it all day long or just during walks? We are getting a chow puppy soon :-)

[@cherriemater]

Sorry for the delay in response. We had to turn off our internet and now I only get on via the Library. www.lupinepet.com/. They are guaranteed FOR LIFE and even through bites in them. We've replaced both Max and Leo's once after their "chew" period was over. They sell both harnesses and leashes and I rate them very highly! :D

[@maxtrata]

i think you should use "SHT" instead of "no" because the dogs pay attention to high notes rather than a word. nice training anyways!

[@Co4chMelone]

They are so cuuute My family is going to get one and I always wanted a dog that I can train and have improvements with :) (I'm 16 and from Germany sorry for my bad english :/)

[@ladyj6278]

Hope you got your dog and there is nothing wrong with your English.... it is fine.

[@jasminewhitehead2770]

What harness are you using please, my chow gets out everything!🤣🤣🤣drives me crazy coz she spins and pulls terribly.

[@cherriemater]

We use Lupine. They had a FREE REPLACEMENT guarantee, which was especially nice when the boys were chewing. They also replaced them when the boys grew out of them. We bought them at Wags-to-Whiskers, but that store closed down. Check them on the web at lupinepet.com

[@jasminewhitehead2770]

Cheers!! I will, thanks for the reply 🙂

[@olgadotsenko4745]

good boys, instead of a host!

[@markburrell5670]

Tuna juice is very high in sodium which is very toxic for a dog or a cat . their kidneys cannot process high levels of sodium .

[@corgan59]

so funny

[@aidenfaurote]

Just a tip, you need to be very firm to them with commands, and how the heck cause my chow is named Leo

[@cherriemater]

Yup. The Sit, Stay/Wait and Go! are all very crisp and clear. They will "wait" as long as I ask them before they will "go."

[@valladolidfamvlogs3415]

Nice chows where did u get them from what state??

[@cherriemater]

Thank you so much! We got them up in Negawnee, Michigan. However, she no longer breeds or sells them. We are sad about that because we lost Leo (the blue) last November and we'd LOVE to get Max a playmate ... maybe a cousin!

[@valladolidfamvlogs3415]

@@cherriemater oh yea that really sucks how did he die how did u guys get them to be so big what tipe of food

[@cherriemater]

@@valladolidfamvlogs3415 Unfortunately, we had to put Leo down as he bit our five year old. Leo became so attached to Joe (my husband) that when JJ would come into our bedroom in the middle of the night, Leo would protect Joe. No matter how we trained both JJ and Leo to interact with each other, Leo snapped at JJ three times. The final snap broke skin and we knew we had no other choice. It was the WORST decision we ever had to make ... choosing between one child or another. But JJ had to come first and we knew we could not rehome Leo because of this aggression. It breaks my heart still to this day!

[@cherriemater]

As far as food goes, we trust Taste of the Wild. Max seems to like ALL the flavors and currently we're back to Prairie. It's a bit expensive, but with Max's oily skin, it is essential that we give him food that will not upset his tummy or his skin problem.

[@valladolidfamvlogs3415]

@@cherriemater oh wow yea thats really hard i bet it still hurts sorry to hear that. And yes taste of the wild its what i feed my chow chow but your chow chows cought my attention and thats the reason why i asked where did u get them from cuz there nice looking.. Do u no any other breeders u might recomend or something

[@ImKoolWithThis]

Do chow chow's shed a lot?

[@123heek123]

ImKoolWithThis i knitted a hoodie with how much hair they shed

[@davidong4582]

I have a 4 year old chow called Kayo and i understand what you are going through! I do some obedience training with him as much as I can to keep him in place otherwise they tend to get very stubborn and independent and lose respect for their owners and think of themselves as the alpha. I just posted up my first youtube video of him well actually my first ever youtube video! have a look =]

[@gordonames1892]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! YOU HAVE TO BE THE ALPHA!

[@vikki2257]

how old are they?

[@cherriemater]

Here they are only six months. Sadly, we lost Leo last November but Max turned seven in September. :D

[@vieepa2325]
