THANK YOU 🙏 ❤️🥺😭🥰

[@annaasund1201]

Prepping for my future puppy, but also noticing how much a lot of this also applies to my cat. She hated her carrier initially, now she only gets fun treats if she's in there. She's conditioned now that great things happen in there (although 1/100 times she goes in there she might be brought to the vet). Priceless as a cat guardian and I can't wait to apply this to the puppy

❤ Thank You for this podcast. This gave me yet another tool to use when out walking with my dog who is the one saying: oh nay nay to the turning back home😂 🙏🥰

[@SD-my9so]

Thank you. I learn so much from your videos. I bought recallers for my husband and we are having so much fun training your way.

Awesome. Thanks

Home School the Dog is awesome. Great opportunity offered here! And good explanation of how to make conditioning work for you and your dog ❤️ 🐕🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

[@katielandis1677]

I would love to be apart of the home schooling for my puppy! I have a 8 month old lab and would like my puppy to be trained more from the beginning when she’s young! Thank you!!

[@dogsavvylosangeles]

You are THE BEST! Thank you so much for choosing this topic and explaining it so well!

[@Cayleona]

Definitely recommend Home School The Dog! Great program and worth the money. Thanks for another great podcast, Susan. Would love to hear more about conditioning!

[@trishbech9082]

Very helpful and applicable. The dog park technique i will use for play dates with other dogs because I I had a couple of bad experiences before with dog parks, so I stay away from them. Too unpredictable. Anyway, as dual, I love this podcast Susan! Thank You ♥️🐾🐾😊

[@JohnMartin-ft7oi]

this is a great podcast....just what I needed.....have been struggling a bit with my new pup and your words were just what I needed, even though I'm enrolled in HS this podcast really helps me understand shaping and conditioning so much more and I will follow your tips for this.....I will take a look at all the other puppy podcast as well....Susan you are a goddess to all new puppy owners....hoping to hear when recallers will start again

[@nadiagower9056]

Happy New Year to all at Dogs That. I really really needed that injection of enthusiasm and positivity today, as things are not as good as I would like them to be. My boy is still very uncertain about other dogs, even across the road, but I guess I just need to carry on until he learns to realise that seeing another dog is a GOOD THING!!!

[@tracyreifkind3810]

I LOVE this episode! Welcome back Team DT, I hope your holidays were lovely :)

[@aurelienuzillard4431]

Hi Susan ! Thank you for this video. I loved the exercice with the food bowl and collar. Also loved the crate game at bed time. Can you make a video about dog parks please ?

[@rosieleat6868]

Who calls a dog, ‘tater salad’?! Lol love it! 😂🥰🤓👌🛁🖼📚🧁

[@dustinlindblad7904]

Just love your videos. Have been binge watching preparing for my new puppy. My pup will be coming home to me in a couple weeks He will be 10 weeks old. How old should a puppy be in order to take advantage of Home School?

[@DogsThat]

Hi Dustin, thank you for such a lovely note and for enjoying the videos! Home School the Dog is awesome from the start with a puppy and 10 weeks old is super to begin. We've have many puppies grow up in the program and it's brilliant fun and packed with critical foundations for your life together.

[@dustinlindblad7904]

@@DogsThat Thanks so much for the quick reply! Great! We will definitely be joining once he gets home and settled! 🐾🐶

[@chrismcbride9421]

Our dog was jumping on us when we'd hug so I started throwing treats on the floor when we'd hug. Yesterday, we hugged and he started looking on the floor for the treats...and there weren't any! lol.

[@TheTbabylati]

I did this with my dog and the treat bag when training😅. It gets his attention though

[@chunkylucifa2767]

Hello Team, Charlie and I are members of the recallers. We would love to know more about how to re-conditioning in regards to leash reactive please. We have watch episode #29 (preventing reactivity)and #88 (fence fighting) multiple times and both episodes touched on leash reactive. We are still not clear on how to reconditing during walking (or may be even before the walk). Charlie just wants to meet every dog in town and it comes out as barking his head off. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Team.

[@DogsThat]

I am running into an interesting problem. Unfortunately, I have stairs to the potty area and at 10 wks have to carry the pup to and from the potty area. He does not care to be held and is very squirmy. I have started giving him a treat just as I go to pick him up and then treat when he is in my arms. I then go down the stairs and place in him potty area and during the day, after successful potty, he is released with go play cue. After a little play I let him choose to go through the threshold for going back up the stairs. Again, I treat as I go to pick him up and before setting him down. Despite my attempt to create positive CER, he now darts/runs away from me when I squat (go into position) to pick him up. Thoughts?

[@RaptorsGirl]

If you can do it safely walking backwards down the stairs will help...but only if you can do it safely. Also how much do you practice during the day just picking up him up, walking a couple of steps around your home, and putting him back down? That too will be a big help.

Conditioned stimulus?

[@watchmoivies123]

I like this a lot but I’m wondering why you wouldn’t just start with the collar instead of the bowl

[@DogsThat]

Hi @watchmoivies123, it's using a positive conditioned response to transfer value. Most dogs will put their head in a bowl, but potentially would not target a collar so readily. Susan covers it with the info in the podcast; it's got a lot of great detail, so worth a few listens.

[@watchmoivies123]

@@DogsThat thank you. I did watch Yes I guess some dogs would not even look at their collar if there was even a big piece of roast beef there so I think that’s great thanks again

[@agingacademy]

I would love to understand purpose of crates....why? Why can't they simply have a bed or favorite place on sofa, etc?? Why locked in a cage?

[@DogsThat]

Hi Darby, we've got a whole episode about why crates are not cages to help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6DOiqGHhKaKjMk

[@agingacademy]

@@DogsThat I watched that too. I just don't relate to training an animal to enjoy doing something (using treats) when that something is not needed or natural . We don't keep humans in cribs and cages to make sure they are comfortable if they by chance get arrested and need to go to a jail cell, or to a hospital and need to stay in a hospital bed. Why can't dogs sleep and lay where they are comfortable.....with their owners or other pets?

[@rosieleat6868]

@@agingacademy - I was horrified when I first heard about crates, but crate training doesn’t mean to say that you keep your dog locked up in them or that they must sleep in them. It is really great to have a safe space that your dog loves and sees as his own that you can use. I am getting a puppy in a few weeks and I will crate train him as we are a multi pet household, and I need a safe space for him when he can’t be supervised - I am home all day with them but sharing a small space until my wee house is built. But if they are ever injured or need to go to the vet etc etc it’s really handy training.

And I have kind of done this with my Border Collie but when he wants to do what he wants to do nothing and I mean nothing is going to get his attention I guess he’s just a little Cray Cray
