@DogsThat my dog makes sure I don’t miss dinner time because he goes to the crate in anticipation. It’s a long duration learn behavior which is rare like to hear what your take is in long duration learn or circadian learned behaviors in dogs

[@agpe829]

Fully agree - just want to be, quickly, shown what/how to do. Too much talking

[@fundip43]

@@agpe829 maccain dog training may be more of a copy paste speed you are looking for she takes you from the why to the who what and when . Once it’s fully understood it’s more widely applicable. The trouble is accounting for every circumstance and the reality is everything and be done incorrectly so even if shown what to do you may not be doing it right which is why a lot of learning channels complement their videos with classes . Where it more learning what your doing wrong and how to do it better then it is what to do .

Susan is amazing! I am learning so much about how to train my puppy properly! Yes there's a ton of information because Susan is so amazingly generous and funny I might add! Very thankful!

[@siduri03rob]

I've learned in horse training that we always have to go back to and reinforce the basics to build a solid foundation. Susan refers to her past posts because each of these steps are important parts of a good outcome. Her way of training offers much more than a quick fix to insure solid, lasting behaviors, and tho it takes more effort I believe it's well worth it. For me Susan, you offer a wealth of knowledge, a gift I truly appreciate! My dogs send their love ❤

A huge thanks to you and your team for how well curated your videos are; you do an excellent job of ensuring that each individual video has verbal references and written links to other supporting materials, but what is superlative is when you ask if we would like a more-detailed video focussing on a specific topic, you not only make that video but you come back to the video in which you asked the question and add the forwarding link.

[@lyndafouhy7645]

I love your work Susan. Years ago with my dog I did teach the word wait...and the word stay... My thing was that wait meant I could call the dog from wherever I had asked her to wait. Stay meant to not move ever until I went back and got her. So even I left her in a stay outside a shop didn't matter how many people played with her she wouldn't move until I went out and released her. This meant even if I called her name she wasn't to come until I went back and released her...this meant that in a competition stay...dogs would break their stays jump all over her and she would never budge. This was of course about 40 years ago. I did enjoy Home school the dog course I signed up for...I ended up with a lot of other commitments at the same time ... my focus wasn't as good as I would have wanted. I can't print off the gifts i only have a phone, no computer, but I really enjoy coming here and picking up tips and quite frankly enjoying your humour. Thank you . I listen in often and this evening I had a bit of time to write and say thank you for being. 💞 warmth from my heart to yours. Lynda, Sheba, Bow and Tansy.

[@patriciadulaney2547]

Thank you for this explanation of what a "stay" really is, i.e. duration between a command and release. Although I know what it means, it has been hard for me to explain it to my husband, who like me, used the word "stay" with all our previous dogs. This is brilliant! Now, I need to release myself to go train! :)

[@loracampbell9204]

Just what I needed. Thanks, Susan.

[@philly4330]

thanks Susan. loved the episode. I wish i had known about the tug toy witholding game earlier on when i was trying to figure out how to introduce a release word. Our puppy is so wonderful and clever but also very sensitive . When i first tried to teach her a stay with a release word she was so shocked i wasn't saying "good" that she lost her enthusiasm during the session. However she now loves the release word so much she is offering behaviours like stopping before entering the house (which we didn't teach but we love her initiative) and waiting until permission. I have since subscribed to your home schooling program and crate games. I want her to have fun so i am moving very slowly through the games making sure she enjoys them and only sees them as fun . Having said that, although when i taught "stay" i felt a bit guilty as i knew there were better ways just didn't have time to properly explore the alternatives at the time, I find "stay" really useful. Out puppy loved it so much that immediately she responded to it even from a distance, unlike any other command. This "stay" saved us from runs outside our property when gates were open for deliveries and also our cat is very grateful that we can happily freeze our puppy when she is about to run after her. (she has a decent recall too with me btw but not so reliable as the word we picked is overused in our family by peeps without rewards........ i plan to start all over on that with a new word and follow your other program when we are ready for it)

I am old enough to remember 'horrible ' Dog and Horse training methods used and never attended a Traing class with a dog before going just by myself and decided just to do the best I could for years. About 20 years ago ( maybe more) I found a Trainer using the Vollhard& Fisher method and found and read Monty Roberts books. ( my bookcases contain more dog training books than any local Library) I used bits from every book and ended up with well behaved dogs that were actually commented on for their ' good behaviour ' ( I had graduated from Heinz57 varieties to Rottweilers by then) and then I 'found ' Susan Garrett. I am trying very hard to change to the only method of dogtraining that makes sense. Thank you Susan Garrett xx

[@virginiagraves8447]

Thank you Susan for this podcast episode. I have listened to all your podcasts many times over, I am also part of the recallers program, which I absolutely LOVE. Even though I have a release word (break), this episode resonated with me and I had MY "ah ha" moment. I reflected on my use of the release word, it made me realize that my dog may not have a clear understanding of the release cue. Or at least I am not consistent with it in areas where I should be. Not only will it help with any cue or behavior but also with duration. I am not sure why I never made that connection until now, but now I understand the importance of the clarity of the release cue or "when it's over" for our dog. I thought I understood it well before, but this episode really clarified it in a way where I see where I could improve to provide better clarity for my dog. THANK YOU!!!! Virginia + Juno

Hi Susan, I always enjoy your podcasts because they confront me with something I can' t yet 😀😭. The thing is, I' m doing crate games on a regular basis. When I want to practice for duration, my dog shows very activily behaviours and because of that the duration of holding a sit has gone. What should I do about this? We are on Recallers and that is why he is very eager to learn something new and tries something different.

Hi Anneke, please post a video with your thoughts in the Recallers classroom or Facebook group so our team can give you detailed feedback and help you with relaxation inside the crate and your duration sit.

I tell anyone who will listen about Susan Garrett - My puppy and four year old are enrolled in Home school the Dog, and Recallers, and Crate games, and Pedicure please. If you think the podcasts are amazing, you should do the courses which are double amazing. I am an experienced dog owner and have trained all of my dogs really well, but these are at another level and I have even deeper connection with my dogs which I didn't even think was possible. I was telling my vet about it and she loved the sound of the training and has seen the development of my doggos through the training, so she is going to recommend the podcasts on KZbin to her clients with dogs and puppies too :)

Jimmy is 20 weeks old now. I've been rewarding duration with treats. I haven't trained OUT much yet as still building toy drive with retrieve and tug. I'm confused but want to try because I think Jimmy is too sometimes. He doesn't really know whether to hold or break.

[@patriciabrowne9450]

My new 6 y/o adult dog was initially prepared to be a show dog and "sit" was not an option. It has been a long process to teach her what I want and after 2 months she finally will offer a "sit". "Down" will hopefully come sooner.😉

Okay this is excellent! This applies to the muffin tin game we just learned at your “home school the dog” ! Such fun! So speaking of duration I want to teach my Toller to hold the thing in her mouth.

[@kathyweist9236]

Just to understand your “ sit- stay” duration…. If the dig leaves her hot zone, or rug that she is supposed to ne “ staying” on, you ONLY correct it ( direct dog back to her place ) using a collar grab not a leash to redirect her back into sit- stay ( no word correction ). Then after your predetermined time on hit zone/ place mat, you give release eord and reward? Thank you

[@DogsThat]

Hi Kathy, yes, but with the proviso there is a positive conditioned emotional response for the Collar Grab game, and we build duration gradually and only work on only one of the 3D initially - distance, distraction or duration. We have an entire playlist on sit stay and growing the behavior with the layers and insights - kzbin.info/aero/PLphRRSxcMHy2Hq4zfUmUf5VKNGAn3gwsD

[@patriotsongs]

So, if you never give your dog a cue and walk away, does that mean you have to be in the same room with them at all times? There are times I want my dog on his bed and away from the center of activity.

[@johnmcafee2353]

Hard work

[@RayShaw007]

I think that was really good . . . (think?) . . . well, it was lot to take on board in one hit! So I think I'll take baby steps. What i do like is your thinking. You don't quite say it (or maybe you do) but it's like a conundrum: You teach dogs to stay best by not teaching dogs to stay! I get that and it sure beats insanity: Doing the same thing over and over whilst expecting a different result! I have a lousy start line wait with my mature agility dog - she just wants to go fast at an actiivity that she loves. The harder I try, the more frustrating it is. Try hard or give up - become resigned about start line waits. There must be another way - without starting from inside the course and doing an 'out' wing wrap. Ok, so I can start with my pup differently but what about my oh so enthusiastic old gal - the one that so many peope love to see run and jump, who say that she makes it so much fun, doing agility? The excitement level is sky high, she's so pumped up, it's a big ask. perhaps the biggest ask of all . . . to 'wait' when there's so much fun ahead!

[@leegrass6954]

Great ideas! However as one behaviorist to another, I must say there is absolutely nothing wrong with luring. Luring has nothing to with force or pressure.

[@RaptorsGirl]

For sure Lee, nothing wrong with it at all, I will lure the odd behaviour myself! I'm sorry if I somehow created confusion in what I was saying and gave the impression that I was equating luring with force. The point I was trying to make, having taught this behaviour both ways, is that the clarity of "What To Do" and "When It's Over" is created so elegantly when the dog is making the choice on their own over and over rather than focusing on the food in your hand. Thanks for helping me clear this up!

[@brandeeschman9192]

Is it ok to change my release word? I have been training my 6 month old puppy to wait and then I have been using OK as the release word. She knows this word now but can I change it or will this really confuse her? Thanks for all your help!!

[@DogsThat]

Hi Brandee, you can change the cue for sure. There's tips in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mmqIGiaLyjnZo (from the 10:58 mark)

[@spnylluvr]

What do you do if your dog knows her sit or down stay at home but you bring them to a training or competition environment and your non confidant dog feels the added pressure of said environment and won't stay? I realize you should try to make her successful so the pressures should be added to incrementally but she still feels the need to get away from the pressure. Would using platforms help perhaps? She does stay when on a platform but then, of course, i would need to slowly fade that out as well.....correct?

[@RaptorsGirl]

I would make sure I’ve trained her in every room of my house and used every challenge I can think of to help grow her confidence. Confidence in behaviour starts at home.

[@DogsThat]

Hi Sheri, in Wag Nation, the most recent Learning Lab on "Get One Behavior Great" would be awesome to help out.

I’m sure I’m in the minority on this, but I’m not following what you are saying. You are explaining what to do by referencing your other videos. And, when you are describing what to do, the camera is on your face most of the time and there a small snippet showing how to do it. For me, it would be better if the camera stayed on the dog who is performing the learned behavior and you did a voiceover. I don’t need to see your face, I need to see the trainer working with the dog.

They are all free! There is an occasional reference to a program you can buy but Susan gives out so much pre-information in all these podcasts that I would be embarrassed to call it a bait & switch

[@PaulLebow]

Suggestion. I see Susan has put a great deal of blood, sweat and tears into these videos. Many of us have shelled out the big bucks for training courses that don't seem to work. Each trainer disses other methods as WRONG. Would we teach a dog with those confusing messages?! (Just look at the KZbin side bar of recommended videos that contradict each other!) What is needed is a unified FREE course that proves to me her approach really works. Throwing random hours and hours of disconnected KZbins is overwhelming and discouraging. Don't send me to episode X then episode M.... etc. etc. Don't imply that I need to shell out money first to get the "real" secrets. Don't worry, the money will come once we get the rewards (sound familiar?)

It has allowed the two of us to compete and well in agility. Of course I then started 360 handlers. That is PhD training for us. But the layers of learning so fun. I even do my no competition 8 year old golden that is a joy to watch when doing the games We are getting our next Golden this Saturday . I’m do excited to start a puppy with my new outlook and tools. I m lucky to have an agility trainer that blends with your training. Question. Will you consider doing a podcast on how you shape a sit/down. I am one of those that joined the programs for the instruction modules. I think we are most nervous about the puppy’s name. Thinking of Jerzy. In polis it means swift.
