[@legendsdogtraining]

Thanks for watching! In this video he looks, focused, engaged, easy to motivate and is showing good impulse control with toys. The reality is that the initial steps in training went very slow. He had a lot of anxiety that made it difficult for him to focus, he wasn't interested in food, and he was very impulsive/ easily over-aroused with toys. His transformation was pretty incredible.

I can't wait to start working with my Doberman. I just got home today. Up until now I've only worked with Pit bulls and love it. Great video. Any tips for a new Doberman handler?

[@legendsdogtraining]

David G Hey! Thanks for watching my video. Tell me a little about your Doberman... age, temperament, strengths, weaknesses? Social with people? Social with dogs? Hyper-excited, impulsive, nervous ... ? My general advice in training is to start simple. Build a strong reinforcement history for calm, attentive behavior. And then gradually blend those training exercises into real life training scenarios. It's amazing to see how much a dog can learn if you're building behavior in small steps vs. throwing them into the deep end of the pool. Start simple, build big.

[@vrs3435]

oK i Had my doberman for 5 months now i worked with her she is ok right now like a B+ or A- but haw can i teach her to stay and wait Like she is pretty decent in sitting and laying down but amazing at giving her paw but any tips on how she can stay and wait. please

[@legendsdogtraining]

Vadym and Diego Gaming Hey! You may not need this training advice anymore, but someone else might. The secret to a good stay is to build value for stillness. Here are a few tips that (I hope) will help. Tip #1: Start in a low stress, low distraction environment Tip #2: Always use a release cue "all done" Tip #3 : When releasing your dog from a stay, return to their side, don't do it from a distance. (ie. "stay..." "ok! come!"). This creates sloppy stays. Tip #3: Build criteria in a systematic manner. People usually add too much too soon. Tip #4: Once your dog is giving you strong responses in a controlled training environment, start the process of generalizing to new environments, and new distractions. Tip #5: Be patient. Keep it fun and rewarding for both you and your dog. If you want more customized advice I do offer training consultations via skype. Let me know if this was helpful, and thank you for watching my video! :-) - Alyssa

That is an x-large crate. Although I recommended that the client purchase a plastic vari kennel. They're stronger and the solid crate seems to make the average dog feel safer, more secure - it's especially good for dogs that are prone to separation anxiety.

[@legendsdogtraining]

+Daniel De Abreu Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Apollo was a challenging case: he was an extremely high drive dog. His family played a ton of fetch with him in an attempt to satiate his appetite for play, but since there was no structure to the play, it backfired and just amped him up even more. Apollo was running on a near constant adrenaline rush, had little tolerance to frustration, and he would use his weight (jumping, pushing) when he wanted anything - attention, play, walks, to go outside, to come back inside. The training highlighted in this video took place over a 4 week board and train. After this video was taken Apollo went home, and I continued to meet with the owners once a week for 2-3 months in order to transfer skills, and generalize the training to various distractions or stressful events. Time line for training varies depending on whether I am doing private lessons or a board and train. Usually it takes at least 4-6 weeks to set a solid foundation. For some owners/dogs that's sufficient - in other cases that foundation then needs to be integrated into real life scenarios that are particularly challenging for that individual dog. - Alyssa Lapinel, CPDT-KA www.legendsdogtraining.com

[@jeanie779]

I've been wondering, why do we need that 'click' sound when training dogs?

[@legendsdogtraining]

Hi Captain Yang! Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I apologize it's taken me so long to reply. The click sound is a marker. It marks behavior that is desirable and predicts reinforcement. Dog trainers like to use clickers in the same way that marine mammal trainers like to use whistles. It creates a "bridge" from the moment that the desired behavior is offered, until the time that it is reinforced. You can also use verbal markers like "good" or "yes" although they are usually not as significant because people are less likely to consistently pair a verbal marker with high value reinforcement. The sound of the click is also more effective because it is distinct and concise. Thanks again for watching and commenting. - Alyssa Rose (Lapinel) - CPDT-KA

[@Strongest_under_heaven]

Hello, can i ask how old is that doberman in the video? I have 5months old doberman and i am having trouble dealing with him because of how energetic he is, he literally can't stay put for more than 10 seconds. He is the european line if it matters.

[@legendsdogtraining]

+Ejs Ace hey, thanks for watching! The dog in the video is just under a year old. Here are a few suggestions to working a dog through your active behavior: 1. Sit down each day with your dog and hand feed meals. High reinforcement rate while your dog sits or lies down in front of you. * your dog should already be on a feeding schedule for this to be effective. 2. Play training games that your dog will enjoy but that gets him thinking and reinforces him for having four laws on the ground. Mindless exercise or long unstructured play can rev a dog up even more. 3. Check out some of my other videos about hyper active dogs like videos I've done for maya the mastiff or sparticis the am staff shelter dog. - Alyssa Rose (Lapinel) - CPDT-KA

Clicker training is for noobs

[@jackgold8382]

Iv heard some trainers say clickers are a bad idea. Not sure why. Beautiful dog.

[@legendsdogtraining]

Thanks for watching and commenting. There are many trainers that don't understand what the clicker is and how it's used. It's a marker, it marks the moment that a dog offers desirable behavior and it predicts reinforcement. In order for the clicker to have any meaning to a dog it should be paired 1:1 ratio with high value reinforcement. It's synonymous with a verbal marker "good," or "yes" but more distinct and more concise. Marine mammal trainers use a whistle as a marker, to bridge the divide between the moment that a dolphin offers a jump (for example) and communicates to the dolphin that they got it right, and they're going to receive a fish for that behavior. In behavior modification it helps because if you pair the clicker with early training sessions where the dog is easily engaged and in a learning mind set, you can later use the clicker in a more distracting or stressful environment but tap into the same mind set.

Hi, I have a 1 year old doberman, who has problems walking on a leash, he pulls, we've tried everything but he doesn't respond, He sits, stays, lays down and speaks even high fives, we used a gentle leader and then a haltie around the muzzle, i'd be interested in maybe meeting with you to discuss training pricing or if you could evaluate him, he's great the walking issue is killing me, He also barks at other dogs and freaks out, but he does beautifully with other dogs when he isn't on a leash, i once walked to the corner store and he kicked our gate wide open and was walking next to a lady and her dog behind me no barking or anything, but when you put the leash on him he's totally different, i need help!! my boyfriend is stressed out by him and says people think he's dangerous, it's becoming a me or the dog situation.

Whats the clicking noise and how can I train my MIL to stay ...stay a long way away

[@legendsdogtraining]

hah! that clicker is a marker. It marks the moment that a dog does something that we love, and it predicts reinforcement. It can be used to bridge the time between the moment that a desirable behavior occurs and the moment that reinforcement is delivered. You can also use the word "good" or "yes." The reason some trainers like to use a clicker instead of a verbal marker is because people talk a lot, and as a result, some of those words lose their meaning. The click stands above the chatter. That being said, I actually prefer to use verbal markers these days because I find it encourages people to think more about how they use their words. Hope this helped to clarify things with the clicker, sorry I can't help with your mother in law. ;) - Alyssa Rose www.legendsdogtraining.com

[@jccaigeamilo123]

[@natesmith6713]

Good looking boy

[@gunsandpussy3104]

What is the point of the clicker is it some sort of mental anchor?

[@forrestang]

It's a marker, just like using the word 'YES' or whatever else you want to use. You can click with your tongue, or do anything really, as long as you teach the dog it means it has done something correctly.

[@ButteredxToastxMan]

I see you are using the 'click' treat method for doing his sit and stay commands, but what about when he does something wrong? chase a kid/cat/other dog? whats the protocol to make the dog realize he/she is doing something wrong and stop?

[@legendsdogtraining]

Donnie Darko I don't have a short form answer to that question, but I'll try to condense as much as possible: In my behavior modification programs I work a dog from the ground up. I assess the dog's strengths and weaknesses, establish training goals and outline a training plan. I start by laying down a strong foundation for calm, focused, attentive behavior in the presence of controlled distractions (food, toys, sounds) and then progressively blend the training into real life distractions (kids, cats, dogs), building from low to high intensity stimulus. If this is done skillfully, you can build calm and attentive behavior around the most challenging distractions. The rate of progress varies depending on the intensity of a dog's excitement/fear/anxiety/aggression, as well as, the ability of the handler to read and respond to the dog's behavior. Life happens. And sometimes during the early stages of a dog's training plan a distraction will unpredictably and unavoidably present itself that pushes the dog past its threshold. In these cases I have owners use "deference cues" these are non-verbal cues that the dog has been trained to respond to early in training program - body blocking or tension on leash - these cues help a dog that is over-threshold come back to calm. Hope this explanation helps. Thanks for watching my video.

[@ButteredxToastxMan]

wow, thank you for the descriptive reply!

[@vrs3435]

you should get the clicker and i have one that has a whistle on it also so thats how to call them to say what they are doing wrong

[@legendsdogtraining]

Vadym and Diego Gaming You use the whistle as a non-reward marker? Or as a recall when you're doing off leash training and a dog engages in undesired behavior? I do the latter, to interrupt and redirect behavior.

[@NicolasdeFontenay]

Alyssa Lapinel I think it helps to mention that the dog should not be off leash at any point until the training is complete.

Any advice for convincing a dad Dobermans don't randomly turn on people? *Here's the story:* He said he was attacked by one, because he was.... playing.... with a friend (The dog's owner) which then I find out later he was *play wrestling* (He kept saying we were just playing in the field and I kept asking if it was play fighting then he finally admitted it) with the owner, which of course the dog was just protecting him. So now my dad believes in the skull stop growing but the brain doesn't myth :/

[@legendsdogtraining]

Nikki B The Orcinus orca Hey! Did this incident with your dad happen recently? Or when he was younger? Since I have not met the dog, or your dad, I can't say with any certainty what motivated the "attack." However, it is not abnormal for certain dogs to become agitated, when their owner physically interacts with a friend or family member. I frequently see dogs that jump and bark (and sometimes growl or bite) when their owner is hugged by a friend or family member. Of course, the behavior is likely to become more intense if the interaction is more animated. - Alyssa Lapinel, CPDT-KA

Nikki B The Orcinus orca and thanks for watching!

[@joannab7299]

Alyssa Lapinel No, it was when he was really young, and no problem, loved the video!

[@sfpawloski2]

will the dog stay if you leave most likely not

[@legendsdogtraining]

Hi! Thanks for watching and writing in. Probably not, it’s not something that I train for. The training is more about generating a connection. Thank you for taking the time to write in, appreciate it. Alyssa Rose

Hi

[@sfpawloski2]

like most training videos how do get to this point and a bag of food where ever you go

[@legendsdogtraining]

Sf Pawloski Hey! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The acquisition of food shapes behavior, this is true for wild animals and it's the reason that food is such a powerful tool in shaping behavior with domesticated animals. When teaching new behaviors or modifying undesired behavior - food plays a central role. However, it's important to consider how behaviors can be systematically generalized to naturally occurring reinforcers in the dog's environment and routine. This video wasn't meant as a "how to" video (it was actually created for the doberman's owners, so that they could see some of the behaviors he was working on in training) but it does demonstrate the potential in generalizing behaviors to different reinforcers that were valuable to this particular dog, i.e. walking out the door, exiting the crate, playing his favorite game. This video was taken after 2 weeks of training, so fairly early on in training. My videos have fragments of training at all levels, from beginning stages of training and behavior modification to the advanced stages. I'm in the process of creating a program that provides a comprehensive overview of behavior modification - one that can be applied to behavioral issues related to fear, anxiety, aggression and hyperactivity. Thanks again for watching. Best, Alyssa Rose, CPDT-KA

i have one hard to train beware u will have scratches sometimes

[@rm4566]

Is your Doberman a European or American?

[@analilozano336]

Ok. You're gorgeous. :s Y el perrito cómo se llama?

[@legendsdogtraining]

Hey Analí Lozano! Thank you. The dog's name is Apollo. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.

[@pumpkinhead1020]

whoever did the ears, they messed up, BIG TIME!!!

[@SexyLilSeaOtter]

The ears look fine.

[@K9Anarchy]

I second what Joe said. The cropping is perfectly fine. It's just a median crop. There's nothing wrong with it. A lot of the European Dobermanns have that style of crop.

[@yoshikagetora7280]

Nice dog! to bad you keep giving all those food treats

[@legendsdogtraining]

Hey yoshi kagetora, thank you for watching my video. In this video I am training with a high value dog food. Food is a primary reinforcer, meaning this is something that every living animal works to attain. If you sit down for a day and watch the effort a squirrel or bird puts into obtaining it's food, their brain and their behavior is shaped through this activity. Now consider our domesticated dogs, and our domesticated cats. Many are given food for free each day. The energy that would normally go to the acquisition of food ... many times it goes into neurotic behavior; excessive vocalization, pacing, hyper emotional responses (fear, anxiety, aggression) to normal every day activity. Food is a smart training tool, which is why top professional trainers will select dogs with high food drive, as well as, dogs that have high toy drive for more advanced training, like search and rescue, protection training, agility, tracking, scent detection, service work. If you want to learn more about my background in behavior and training you can go to my website: www.legendsdogtraining.com Do you own a dog? What type of tools do you use in training? What is your primary focus in training? Thanks again for watching. - Alyssa Lapinel, CPDT-KA

[@yoshikagetora7280]

Your welcome...Beautiful dobe! My family is trying to bring a service/PTSD dog into our home to help me gain my life back...A dobe is what I need,(again health reasons) and prefer...That i already have some experience with dobes is a plus, so trust would come quickly... wishing u a great day...peace n blessings

[@legendsdogtraining]

yoshi kagetora Thank you, hope you find the right dog for your situation. There are few things more therapeutic than having a dog at your side.... best to you and your family.

[@yoshikagetora7280]

Thank you...Much peace and many blessings

[@cliftondennis6388]

Good but why not replace the click with verbal praise? You are not always going to have the clicker but you will always have the pitch of your voice. Just saying.

[@rahulsoni1027]

Nice training but small cage makes Doberman angry

[@purushrut]

Me Me Me.

[@grimstnzborithbrisingr7296]

One thing the owner does not know... he needs a bigger backyard to roam.

[@legendsdogtraining]

He was staying with me for a board and train. My patio created a great environment to train in after initial training in living room, but before moving to the canyon. I have more video of his training in canyons where he's able to properly run and play. You can find it on my KZbin channel. Thanks for watching!

[@alanhernandez6139]

guarantee if i walked by with food the dobbie would get distracted/hesitate/not listen. food and incentive like that is a poor way to train. the dog should obey instantly and not need that food incentive. you can see with every command hes looking for that treat. not necessarily respecting the owner. also the video shows no ability to stay for a long duration.

[@legendsdogtraining]

+Alan Hernandez Hey Alan! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The most highly trained dogs - those trained in - protection, search and rescue, tracking, scent detection, service dogs - are trained with either food and/or toys. Teaching dogs to work through distractions and focus on their handler is part of the training process. Teaching dogs to work through food distractions is actually relatively simple, and serves as a great starting point in training. The ultimate goal is to work the dog to the point where he/she can think and focus as necessary in high stress or high distraction environments (crowds of people, dogs, squirrels, loud noises, unexpected events). I do appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks again. - Alyssa Lapinel, CPDT-KA

[@juliocesar-ng6bn]

nice body by the way

[@sylindachowning2744]

Clickers don't work for me. My Jessie is all about tone of voice.

[@legendsdogtraining]

+Sylinda Chowning Thanks for watching! Whether or not a clicker is effective depends on how it's being used. A click is a neutral stimulus that needs to paired with something that is highly motivating to the dog. For example, pair the click with high value, nutritious food (moist, meaty food works best). Once the clicker is effectively "charged" it can be used to mark the moment that a dog offers behavior that we like, and predicts reinforcement. Marine mammal trainers use whistles in the same way when working with sea lions or dolphins. The whistle marks the moment that an animal offers the targeted behavior and predicts a fish. This is important when teaching a marine mammal to jump through a hoop, or a dog to "send away" to a training mat or dog bed. If you are not able to reinforce the animal at the exact moment that the behavior is offered, the clicker or whistle will bridge the gap. It's particularly useful for fine tuning behavior or for conditioning when working with a fearful, anxious, or aggressive dog. They are very valuable tools when used correctly. - Alyssa Lapinel, CPDT-KA www.legendsdogtraining.com

[@_rakia_921]

that's not any "food or toy control" .... he's only working on command "stay" nothing else ... ... I think, that it's not effective as well, because everytime, when you say the command "stay" and trhrowing the ball... you are so far from your dog.... why? or when you said "stay" and put the ball 1 meter from your dog.... why you didn't put it between his legs? or under his mouth? hm?

[@legendsdogtraining]

Hey Renata, thanks for watching my video! In this video Apollo is working on a few different behaviors and training cues: sit, down, stay (as you mentioned), go to crate, go to place, leave it and a release cue. These behaviors are prompted with a combination of verbal cues, hand signals, as well as contextual or environmental cues. For example, when I open a door I usually allow the door itself to be a "contextual cue" for the dog to wait. This way the dog knows to offer a higher level of self control in front of open doorways. In my opinion, this is a great way to keep a dog safe in the event that someone accidentally leaves a door open or the wind blows it open. You also asked why I don't put the ball between his legs or under his mouth. I train for function, communication and safety. Again, in my opinion, it's not necessary to "test" dogs by putting a biscuit on their nose, or on their paws. I feel the same way about self control with toys. I would like to be able to play a game with a high drive dog without worrying that they are going to nick my hand in a frenzy, but for me, that means that I should be able to hold a ball in an outstretched hand or pick the ball up from the ground. Thank you again for watching and commenting. - Alyssa Rose, CPDT-KA

[@legendsdogtraining]

Renata, Did you see this video? It is a follow up to Apollo's training kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6vcqKqXg96GfLs It provides more of an overview - the progression and practical application. Best, Alyssa Rose, CPDT-KA

[@ArimaKihe1]

I'm no expert but I think your Dobe is like a well disciplined soldier! Whatever you're doing it's clearly very effective.
