How I Motivate a dog (even skittish) with Modular Reward Events!

[@tarrmiganx9919]

I just want to say a HUGE thank you for this video. I have been seeking out help with this for a few months now and no matter where I go or who I ask, I seemed to get a lot of non-answers. I know I will be re-watching and consulting this video in the future with my dog training now. I have a 4 year old black lab who I took in from a relative. She had ZERO obedience, pulled like crazy on walks, and was 45lbs overweight. YIKES. One year later and she's almost lost the weight (4 more lbs to lose!) and I would say her obedience is VERY good considering where she started. Her recall is reliable, she is mostly good for me in public... But she has this weird tendency towards insecurity. She doesn't have that "eager to please" drive that most labs are supposed to have. Whenever I try to improve her obedience (refining the behaviors), start introducing new things, she is very quick to shut down. We have always used a gentle approach to obedience with her because she is VERY sensitive. My boyfriend made the mistake of raising his voice at her and you would have thought he hit her. When in this state, even when I verbally praise her for behavior, she responds as if I'm scolding (this can make it hard during training because praising her can almost have the opposite effect). I'm going to try the techniques you mentioned to build rewards that she will respond to, and just take it slow because she gets frustrated very quickly. Thanks again for all of the information and examples! I think it's really going to help us!

[@SimpawticoDogTraining]

You've got exactly the right mindset. Build it slowly and show her how it works on a small scale. As you cultivate her enthusiasm you'll see her moving and targeting with more gusto. I've noticed sometimes too that for some dogs, my "burst" of energy for the reward kind of takes them a bit to get used to. They startle a bit and look at me like "What are you on, weirdo?" So, I tone it down and build that in micro-steps too. Once they get there and you see in their eyes they're waiting for the "pop," you know they're hooked. Good luck!

[@erinseibel8352]

Would love to see a video on handling aggression (barking, lunging) towards people and dogs on a walk. Thanks

[@lizarutherford2477]

This has been so so helpful! You are such a skilled teacher - so easy to comprehend! You give incredible "Aha!" moments which makes your videos golden. We have a complex borzoi rescue boy with multiple issues, and our new borzoi girl puppy is arriving in 2 weeks! You have a new patreon member 😉 who is eager to consume. Been binge watching/listening, and making copious notes! It's a big "Yesssssssssss" from us in the UK! I'll get my reserved Britis husband acting like you yet!! 👍

This video made rewarding so much clearer. It was very enriching to me to understand the various aspects of. Thank you for sharing this.

[@skys-the-limit]

The use of the description area is stellar. Thank you for the great example. I am binge watching but doing it categorically based on linked videos in the description.

[@johku7638]

I like this SO MUCH! I had a long learning curve with this when I started to train sighthounds for agility and other more demanding things. I realized I need to dig out the same energy they have while lure coursing, so I started to utilize chase response and used free running as a reward. I also taught myself to be about as hyped and moving around as you. But boy wouldn't this video saved me a lot of head banging against the wall.

[@SimpawticoDogTraining]

I hear you! You got it now!

[@katetuite4690]

Love all your videos, but this one was AMAZING! The reasoning behind what you're saying makes so much sense. I'm a primary school teacher working with children struggling to learn how to read and many of the same principles apply. It's so important to bring that energy and communicate how truly pleased/excited you are at their success. Shared joy in their success becomes a reward for both of you. Thank you for all of your amazing videos!

[@corettaha7855]

When my puppy comes I’m going to have him watch all these with me, so he knows his part in the training process.

[@TexxFilth]

I don't have a dog yet, but I plan on getting one on spring. I was lost in learning about dog training, but since I discovered your channel I am so relieved! Amazing content, thank you so much. It doesn't seem like rocket science anymore.

[@faithkalmoe9486]

This was very helpful. I have a 13 week goldendoodle, and she gives up on training encounters quickly. I'd been following advice to reward in the position you want the dog in. I'm going to try this high energy, more dynamic approach instead.

[@milosen6744]

💖🥰 Everything you say in this video, is basically putting words to what I've been doing for 26 years when I train my dogs! I just follow my instincts, use common sense and watch my dog's behavior and adapt my training accordingly. I wouldn't be able to explain what I'm doing and why, as good as you though, so I'm glad you've done these videos! 👍👍

[@MegandtheMutts]

This is exactly what i needed to learn today! I was out training my dog on a 30-ft lead to practice stay and recall and she just wasn't into it. Tomorrow we try this!

[@vwhitephotography]

Can you do a video on managing/training reactive dogs? I recently adopted a fear aggressive reactive dog and I'd like to know your insight on the subject. Thanks!

[@SimpawticoDogTraining]

Incidentally, this video right here is one of the first things I cultivate with a reactive dog. The energy generated when they see a trigger has to go somewhere, so this is a good way to start bringing that back into engagement with me (or the owner). The explosive movement into reward, then, generally occurs away from the trigger so then we get some distance as well. I don't know about doing a video on the whole thing, since doing it right would be like a couple hours long, but I'm happy to provide pointers for things to consider.

[@Passionproject100]

Totally agree dog reactivity training seems would take a long set of videos: not an expert, here, but seems to be a ton of foundation work, baby steps, and managing triggers. For instance, I am now at the stage where we are just going on brief walks down my court only. No dog traffic on my street but kitties and kids and loud noises. I love this stuff Ian!! 🥳👍

[@greenpen92]

Such an interesting video, I'm struggling so hard with my rescue dog, he just whines and whines when we got out, if we stop and sit in a cafe or drive in the car he just won't stop whining! I've tried positive reinforcement when he is quiet and ignoring him when he is whining, I don't want to shout at him as I know it won't help and he is a rescue but its honestly so hard he is so loud! And honestly really embarrassing. Love him so much just wish we could make him happy when we are not giving him attention!

[@laurenmartin7762]

I love this video! My JRT taught me that I need to be excited and bounce around to keep her engaged. But I have run into snags sometimes because certain training requires her to be in a calmer state of mind. For instance - teaching her matwork as a way to calm herself down and relax. I would love to see a video about the flip side of enthusiasm and how to train relaxed behavior in an energetic dog that keeps them engaged.

[@benjaminleavitt3666]

Amazing production value as usual. How do I train urgency? I call my dog and she slowly comes to me, but she’s a young Aussie.

[@itsjustbree9267]

Thanks for this, Ian. There are lots of creative ways to reward a dog other than just handing them a treat. It's easy to forget to be interesting to the dog, especially when you're like me and tend to get lost in thought during walks. Coming up with different ways to make rewards more exciting helps keep me from getting distracted. Which is great for my dog, but also for me, so I don't walk into a tree or something. XD

[@leelahowland6519]

This is a perfectly timed video for me! My 4.5 month old dachshund is taking work to get him walking, especially at night. Seems to be scared of the dark. Not been sure whether to be the confident leader, kind and nurturing or stern and "demanding".

Definitely confident and supportive. There are times to be stern, but most of the time err on the side of kindness and generosity. At least, that's my 2¢

[@emes5735]

I'd love to see a video on how to get your pup to never get used to going on the couch and the bed. Would you do a video on that please? The OFF command can be taught by teaching the dog to do something on cue, like speak and shush, but how to never even think about it is my question. Before you bring the little monster home. Thank you.

[@SimpawticoDogTraining]

You'd have to be hyper-consistent with it and never, ever, even one time allow the dog on either bed or couch. You'll have to start with calm but resolute feedback, and manage while you're gone so they can't get on them. If you're getting a puppy, this will be much easier than if you're adopting an older dog that's been on beds/couches already. Take a look at Ian Dunbar's threshold drill, and simply apply it to furniture instead of a boundary: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHTYimyrjZyimtU

[@emes5735]

Simpawtico Dog Training thank you for the reply. Really appreciate it. I am getting a puppy. I was thinking of using the all or nothing reward training. As a pup he will beg to be on the couch. Once I ignore and he settles I immediately praise praise praise treat treat treat. Is this a good idea and if is it enough? Any suggestions? I am already familiar with the Dunbar boundary video. But as I said I am getting a puppy. An American Bulldog. So I want to make sure I give him the best training I can and I don’t want his grown up 130lbs or so athletic figure jumping on the bed or the couch later. I guess in a way it’s like training him not to jump on people when they come over? Thank you for all your videos. They are awesome.

[@samv1207]

Hi, over the past week or so I’ve binged watched your videos, and I’ve learned a lot. I’m getting my first dog soon, so do you have any advice on what to work on first? Should I train it in every way from the beginning? Or should I first focus on crate training, conditioning, etc (general behavioral stuff). Then, once they’ve learned the basics of that, move on to commands? Or a completely different schedule?

Could you do a video on preventing a dog from getting into trouble when left home alone. My two family dogs will pull out the trash can first thing when I leave. Maybe it was out of anxiety or excess energy at first a long time ago, but now they just do it all the time for no good reason. I guess they think it's possible they might find some food or chewable things, and we can't really punish them when we get home, and of course it only happens when I'm gone, so what can I do to train them out of it, and to prevent it in a new puppy? Thanks a lot.

[@jayashrishobna]

This is so beautiful, thank you so much. I love your energy! I have a question - how important is rewarding in position? For example, I see that you make the dog come toward you for the treat. If I'm teaching "sit", I understand that the "yes!" marker should be said while still in position, but would making the dog move right after be confusing? Or is that only important for a stay command? Thank you for your incredible videos! I hope you return to youtube soon!

Hello. Could you help me out with a video on how to cope with a deaf dog. She is a month old dalmation. Born deaf and abandoned. I taught her how to sit, stay and come. The normal basics. She is getting the idea of let go but i have problems when I walk with her. She wants to eat everything and most of the walk is me taking stuff out of he rmouth or pulling her up before getting something. I take her with the other pups here to a park to run and have fun. Atleast 2 hours a day. Once in the morning and another in the evening. I would really appreciate the help.

[@MitchelBurton]

Having trouble potty training my 10-week old frenchie. About once a day she is peeing on the hardwood floor instead of her sod patch. IE took her out outside for ~4 min and got nothing, come back in and put her in play den then go to put away groceries, come back and poop on sod patch (good) but pee on floor (bad). Maybe needs more praise/touch/multiple treat rewards for proper pees?

[@markusseitz8376]

accidents happen, you know? just don’t get frustrated. and one accident a day is like a 90% success rate for such a young dog. while most puppies are not really picky about where to pee outside some might take a while if they are anxious/excited, so if that’s the case maybe give her more time to relax...

[@sophiajafar1980]

*PLEASE READ AND HELP* I got my amazing dog “Zeus” ( a German Shepherd) in January 2019 we have had him for 6 months now and he was always very sweet and playful. He didn’t know how to play fetch but he would chase me and my siblings in the yard playfully and wrestle around with each other. We never knew his exact age because he was rescued but the vets said he was around 3 years old. Recently he has been playful but whenever I run out into the back yard he will stand at the edge of the grass and whine like there is a reason he won’t go in the grass. I don’t thing he is allergic because we have never had problems before. He will go out in the yard to do his business but will not play out there. He will play on the concrete and inside but not in the grass. He is fine with taking walks and we walk through the front yard to do so though he doesn’t go in the backyard any other times. I give him baths in the grass but I have to tie him to the gate because he doesn’t like water so he doesn’t really have a choice. I’m just not really sure what’s wrong with him. Can someone please give me advice?

[@brendaissnacky]

This is a great channel thank you so much for making these videos! I was curious if you have any videos on getting a new puppy to socialize with an adult dog that you've owned for many years? I searched the uploads and didn't find one. As an example, I have a Yorkshire Terrier that is about 5 years old and is very passive, he doesn't really play, and enjoys sleeping most of the day or just following you passively around the house (he's also a shy dog in general). I also just got a 3 month old Schnauzer (about a week ago) that is a ball of energy that loves to pounce and play. I don't want to discourage play from the younger pup but the older doggo is not comfortable with the play or attention (he's also about an inch shorter) so I get that it's intimidating. Currently I have them separated so they see themselves through a gate and slowly the old doggo has gotten comfortable with being near the gate but he still gets nervous when they're together (understandably so). What would be your suggestion for more frequent and non-intimidating interactions so that they can eventually play together or at least be around each other without major altercations? Thank you so much!

[@PJFinster]

This might be an obvious answer, but when should I start working with my puppy on training sessions? We brought our 11week old boxer home 6 days ago. We've implemented potty and crate training that took a few days but is catching on well now. She is very hyper all day when I have her out (I work at home but I crate her for durations for training without me around). I can't seem to get her to focus on me to do any obidiance training. She doesn't take to treats very well (not that excited about them, we found peanut butter flavor she's most interested it in). I've studied your youtube and bought your training course online and trying to wrap my head around it all. So should my marker training start now? Or should I continue on building a foundation of potty/house training first then work on marker training in a few more weeks? I praise and treat her emensly whenever I see a positive behaivor. Also, I have a ton more questions and since I've paid for your online training course, can we start an email corispondance to go over more info in detail? Or is there paid session I can use to quiz you more? haha thanks!

I have a 9 month old German shepherd and she's always been stubborn, even at 8 weeks old, about coming on a recall, even if I'm super energetic and praise her if she decides to come and... she's not motivated by treats

[@WeiseGuy91]

How would you incorporate moving toward a reward when practicing with distance. I don’t necessarily want my “yes” marker to make the dog want to always run toward me for a reward, do I? A distance down stay, for example, I imagine would have me say yes as they meet expectations, then a release word of “ok” or something like that? Maybe I’m wrong here?

[@SimpawticoDogTraining]

I actually use the "Yes" as my release for Waits and Stays. It communicates the same thing as a different release word, but also ensures they'll reengage with me. I do teach a neutral release word, "Free," but that means "You can do things on your own now, you don't have to pay attention to me." I use that for when they can do their own thing without having to be "On." Contrast that with a Stay...being done with the Stay doesn't mean you're free to do whatever you want. We're still doing stuff (whether in practice, or in real life). So, I keep my communication streamlined and consistent across all instances and situations.

Hi, so I have a 2 month old pitbull, she loves to play with my 12 year old lab pit mix but, when she plays she bites, pulls, and swigs the back of her legs, under her chin. The puppy is already pretty big. We're (my mom and I are) worried in 2 more months the puppy will rip part of the older dogs face off/apart (if you know what I mean). Now the puppy is my dog, I got her after begging and begging, because I thought it'd be easy, I was wrong, it's not easy. I tried following your tips with biting, but I am not sure what to do if the puppy doesn't learn her jaw strength by then. I just don't want to have to get rid of her because she went after my older dog. I have some other problems too, I have 2 small animals and the puppy likes to go after them, I've tried showing her them but every time I do so, she tries to bit them. I am not sure how to show her them without the guinea pigs being hurt. Leash training is another thing I am not sure what to do with, shes "okay" with the leash,but I still have troubles with walking out of the house without her sitting down, trying to go into another room, and having to pull her forward.

When I don't want my dog to run towards people and jump on them (even random people in the leash-free playzone of our town for dogs), would you recommend me training her not to do it by giving them treats (or them giving her treats respectively)/ them using this modular reward system for my dog? So that they can reward her when she doesn't jump? It's really annoying, she is just so happy to see anyone and sees anyone as play-partner, doesn't matter who. I could train with friends and try it with this system...

My issue is my pup is a high energy heeler & gets over excited, especially when I am excited. So I try to push for her to be calm which all my research and training says if I want my dog to be calm I should respond in a calming manner. Help?

[@SimpawticoDogTraining]

You should for sure work on capping energy, but also don't try to bottle it up all of the time. You're just compressing a spring and it's gonna pop somewhere. Allow there to be outlets in your training, and ESPECIALLY, make those high-energy spurts be part of your reward events so that being calm for you isn't a chore, it's prerequisite to the stuff that really turns her on. This allows her to by a but hyper but in the context you set. In my experience you tend to get better engagement by making it part of the reward, too. Then, it's easy to cultivate longer and longer spells of calm as she gets older. Hope that helps!

My dog is 6years old and she don’t love me. She isnt very close to a particular member of my family. I really want to create a bond between us. Do you think it’s too late? I didn’t trained her well because I was too little informed. Is it too late to train her?

Hi there we have 2 female rescued dogs one older and we don't know the age(coco) and the other one is marco and she is 1 and half years old. They don't get along. The marco is a fearfull dog. Marco don't want to go outside for walk i have to forcefully drag her. She does not let me put on or take off her coller she gets agressive inside the house but once she outside i can touch her collar. Marco is not very social and avoid strangers. When she sees some strangers she tries to run inside the house thats why she can not enjoy a proper walk. When she is sleeping u can't touch her she snabs. Please help us with your professional opinion

So my question to you is how did you obtain this information in the first place? Is it something cited from a particular book, (academic or otherwise), or something you've picked up from experience and used your knowledge after the fact to obtain it? tl;dr, sources man, sources! I need it in my veins!

How do you feel about doing a video on how to prepare a dog/puppy on fireworks? :D

[@akita2502]

Please make a video on how to use e-collars! It would be super beneficial. Your expertise is needed on this topic!

No one should be allowed to get a dog until they’ve seen basically all of the videos on this channel😂
