Everything You NEED TO KNOW When Training Your PUPPY!

He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book kzbin.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

[@binmarcy]

Training a dog and teaching it to be a perfect companion is a lifelong achievement for both the the trainer and the dog. There are so many things you can learn from the dog, one of the most important being learning to stay disciplined yourself. Everyone should train a dog if they want to be a better version of themselves. That's why I want to have a pet dog.

[@NateSchoemer]

I agree. Thanks for sharing!

[@BEAUTYnIQ]

the level of devotion and the bond with your dog, directly reflects the consistency of training and handling on your behalf.. dogs love training..! its a form of communication for them..! they know what you want and they can do it for you..

All you guys are great. I’m sitting here reading the comments, smiling. I’m taking my 16 yo grandson to pick up his 8 week old GS puppy tomorrow.

Idk if you know about dogs but what should I do if my dog does shows bad behavior, do I punish him for it?

[@abigailtracy3962]

I work in wildlife conservation in Africa. It breaks my heart how poorly dogs are treated in our area (basically people think the only way to get a dog to do anything or be "tough" for personal protection or hunting/poaching is through beating them). I have been training my Belgium Malinois, Honey Bun through your videos and he is doing great! In Feb 2022 I will be using him as a demonstration for sensitisations to teach 1,700 families about conservation and animal welfare and show that you can treat a dog with gentleness and kindness and they can actually be very well disciplined, confident AND an excellent personal protection dog, much more so in fact than if you beat him. Thank you for helping me to get him to the level where he is today!!!

[@toyairy7612]

I am such a bad dog owner, but am using most of the things i'm learning on these videos. My girl was a hoarders dog. 7 months old and the runt, they told me the other animals all bullied her. she was never abused, but she was very rarely handled or played with by humans, they merely fed her the rest of the time i think she was hiding from the other dogs. zero reaction when i wave my hand in her face, she's very happy with the attention now, but it took a few days to get even a little reaction to our attentiion. She wagged her tail first time on the fourth day when i was trying out names, the one she liked that tail just wagged. I think she's brilliant. she is learning so fast. thankyou for your videos, but she will sleep with me and live most of her life on my lap or at my feet or on a leash outside.

Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the videos are helping. She's lucky to be with you. :)

One question, what do the puppy do when you are not training (i e. most of the day🙂)? Do you have a video on that? Thanks again for all your excellent tips and advice!!

[@isabelleevans5140]

Totally love this! I trained my dog in a similar manner but rarely used treats and now he’s excellent everywhere we go. He aims to please and made it easier to train him and have him always obey commands even in new/scary/busy situations. Agree with the whole no need for the “alpha” technique but I think it’s important to establish yourself as in charge of a situation so when the dog gets nervous they defer to you and understand it’s okay and so if they potentially are in a dangerous situation they will immediately obey commands to stay safe. Love my pup and he’s the best thing ever, thanks for sharing.

This was super helpful to rewatch. Having watched so many of your videos, I “lost” some important points that I now know I need to go back to so Jedi and I can be as successful as possible.

[@johnhansen8272]

Happy to learn all I need to know to train a puppy in a few minutes. Thanks in advance. I had no idea it was this easy. So step one is to cut corners with training time. Check. Step two, find ways to distract your puppy from you by freezing their food to crate them longer. Check. Step three, stick your fingers in the crate to build a bond with the puppy, check. Finally, when you throw a young puppy up in the air to land on their weak limbs, you are setting the stage for joint problems. Puppies don’t have developed bones when young. In fact, their bones are not actually bones like we think of bones when they are puppies. Don’t throw your puppy in the air. Unfortunately, this video only taught me not to socialize my puppy until their parvovirus vaccination series was complete, which is worth watching the video for because most puppy owners don’t know that fact.

Hey Nate, Great video once again. I have a short question, and I remember you saying you feed your dogs a raw diet. Can you explain more about how you use kibble in training? Or do you start off with kibble and switch to raw at some point? I guess meal time with a raw diet is very high reward and so what would you use for treats/training in that situation.

I don't even have a dog but I really want a German shepherd my mum had one before and she was amazing

[@NateSchoemer]

GSD's are amazing dogs. :)

[@haroldcuaresma8481]

So detailed! I can ask? When to do the formal training(age), after the confidence boost training

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I start the formal training right away, I just try to keep it fun. :)

Getting a border collie on September 19 I’m so excited

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! :)

[@cssoliveira]

I’m completely addicted to your videos. Really made me feel more confident on training my puppy. Thank you so much.

[@reflections9234]

Best puppy training video so far, after dozens of views. Excellent balance between training and taking care of the puppies’ emotional needs. Thanks.

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kennethcuadrado7932]

Just got myself a Belgian Malinois, really excited to train her, she already goes outside to go to the bathroom

[@NateSchoemer]

Congrats! Malinois's are great dogs! :)

[@kennethcuadrado7932]

@@NateSchoemer yesss, I love her so much, even though I'm not much of an expert, I want to keep her in my life and I will give my best to give her the exercise that she needs. Got any tips to raise them as pets?

[@MikeJones-cf4wu]

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words! :)

We just going to ignore the fact that this guy sounds exactly like Steve-O

[@NateSchoemer]

You're far from the first person to point that out. Haha! :)

With less gravel and grit to his voice but yeah.

Once I read this message couldn't stop thinking about it lol

[@WebGemSports2012]

I was so excited to comment on that.. you beat me to it

[@SavHawks]

This guy is the shit and what all dog owners should be like. Thank you sir for respecting animals and helping people do the same.

[@LarisaBayaMomo]

Such a great video. I also had my pup sleep in the crate next to me and she didn't cry, I put my hand down if she needed a lil comforting. It works.

[@dylancloud97]

I love kongs and freezing food in it! Such an easy thing pet parents can do to prevent boredom and destructive behavior!

[@NateSchoemer]

Absolutely!

[@jordicolston9322]

Would associating “fun” with loud noises alter their ability to be in protection mode when you’re raising a guard dog?

[@NateSchoemer]

I don't believe so, because often when dogs are excited, they bark. So if your dog heard an intruder, your dog would start barking and hopefully scare the intruder away.

[@alicia8940]

What if we "inherited" a dog and our puppy he's aggressive to and doesn't like? How can I irradiate that behavior? They're both male dogs

[@NateSchoemer]

Good job thanks for all the information. I love your style of teaching. I got laid off (it’s not a bad thing) and decided that I am going to take this time to train a puppy. With your help I feel way more confident about getting one.

[@cynthia4140]

Been seeking a good dog trainer One to keep my dog with the learning techniques necessary. What I've found is amazing! Nate has by far created the most usable, learning techniques for ME the dog owner to be able to communicate the exact commands and how to Implement them to my dog successfully. Nate's teaching skills are fun and engaging enough to keep my dog as well as me coming back for more! He explains each command step by step with the value of positive reenforcments. On the other hand Nate explains bad behaviors and negative reenforcments and how to turn this into actions your dog knows to be NOT ACCEPTABLE. He does this all in a way me and my dog feel like feel like the smartest couple in the class! Learning is doable with Nate!!!! Thank you Nate looking forward to seeing and learning more.

[@anazaby4779]

When is a good time to move the crate out of the room? My gsd pup is fine in a crate but when we r not I'm the room she whines. It's been 3 weeks and there is still some whining

[@NateSchoemer]

I move the crate out of the room when they are 16 weeks of age. Jump to 37:08 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ2le3mZjM50sM0

[@josiahjose734]

When you have to brothers it's so hard to teach because they start fighting

[@NateSchoemer]

I would train each one separately at first and then bring them together to finalize the training.

[@Epic-cw3km]

This was a great video! I have a question though. Sometimes I am going to leave my puppy for long periods of time at home and I don't want him holding it in for that long. Should he use puppy pads when I'm not at home and then go outside when I am home? Or should he just hold it?

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks Epic, I appreciate it! If it's a young puppy, then the best thing would be to have someone potty the puppy while you're at work. Once the puppy is a little older, then the puppy should be able to hold it while you're at work. I hope this helps. :)

[@poiipoii1311]

I just adopted a 3 month old Dutch Shepard from a shelter, he doesn't seem very interested in outside play, he is more interested in following me and sleeping. I make him chase me and play fetch though he never wants to get the item. He seems very distracted even when I have his favorite treats. This is my first ever puppy and it really is a super fun challenge to get him to be excited for learning.

[@NateSchoemer]

If you are like a lot of people that would like to use toys in training, but you have a dog that doesn’t seem that motivated for toys, you can use a technique to try and increase your dog’s toy drive. Just keep in mind that not all dogs enjoy playing with toys-even if you do increase their toy drive. The first technique is to “clean house” if you have toys scattered all over the place. In this case it’s much like free feeding a dog. Why would a dog want to work for something they get for free? Your dog must know that the only way he will be able to play with a toy is if he works for it. However, once your dog is willing to work for the toys you can start allowing them to have toys for free during the day. The next technique to enhance toy drive is to build “frustration”. This is the process you’ll want to follow: • Attach a harness or an agitation collar to your dog. The point is just to make sure you can restrain the dog. You can also connect the leash to a pole or any other object to create a back-tie. • Have a friend begin twirling or teasing with a toy just beyond reach of the dog. Building more distance can often create more frustration, so build distance as needed. • Keep doing this until the dog becomes “frustrated” and barks. At this point, give verbal praise and reward the dog with the toy for barking (plus petting and attention, etc.). But make sure you or your friend holds on to the toy while the dog 41 plays with it. A flirt pole or ball-on-a-rope will work great for this. • If the dog releases the toy from the grip, run back and continue the teasing until the dog barks again. • Now it can become like a game: Try to steal the toy from the dog (if the dog lets go of it, don't rip it from the dog), and if successful, return to teasing, and once again reward if the dog barks. • For demonstrations, see my “Teach Your Dog to Bark On Command” video at: www.youtube.com/ HeVWMcwbf1w&t=21s. This helps build toy drive because much like humans, dogs want what they can't have. They also want what others want and have. This works best when you start during the imprinting stage of a dog’s life. However, it can work later in the dog’s life as well.

I’m 13 going on 14 In October. I’m getting a pup soon. She is a Labrador retriever. Thank you this has really helped figure out what to do with training her

[@NateSchoemer]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. :)

[@winterwolf8084]

This is really helpful!! One question: So when do you completely remove the reward (food/toy/affection) after your command has been obeyed? Or is it something that you always do for the rest of your dog's life? I'm just thinking of a situation where maybe I dont have a reward and I want to give the dog a command.

[@NateSchoemer]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Oyc6Kmqcunj9U You can also use petting as a reward, if you would like to reward your dog, but you don't have food or toys on you. I hope that helps. Please consider supporting my channel. Thanks! :) www.patreon.com/NateSchoemer

[@gamingwithhank7888]

Nate, help me out brother! My 14 week GSD is amazing! Listens well, learns things very quickly. But the biting hurts so much now. He nips back if he doesn't like something and idk if its aggressive tendencies or he's over stimulated. Please help me out if you can. Thanks so much.

[@NateSchoemer]

I would have to see a video, but I would be surprised if it was actual aggression. Send me an email and I'll send you some section from version 3 of my dog training manual. [e-mail] :)

[@candicelandon-rodgers7393]

Hey man I am getting a puppy soon and am going to train as a service dog. Any tips?

Awesome! I would suggest watching these two videos and going through my basic obedience dog training series. The series is designed to be watched in order, so be sure to start with episode one.
