How to Combat Your Dog's Boredom | Teacher's Pet With Victoria Stilwell

[@Kasparphotos]

I will never understand why people are such haters. If you don't like her videos, why are you watching them? Go find another channel or video you do like and leave those of us alone who do appreciate these types of videos. I really like her methods of training. And honestly the language is totally unnecessary as well. Just go elsewhere and make yourself happy...

[@SonyaKBhatti]

You tell them grandma!!

[@Chequr_Prostate]

Judith Kaspar there is a down thumb for a reason. It tells the content provider to try harder, things don’t improve by ignoring or not even commenting.

[@lwdrd]

I don't really understand how you can hate a dog video, it's funny that humans will just hate anything even if it's pointless and a waste of time

[@noCRAPplz]

I hide my dogs treat. He jus whines n cries n makes me find them for him.. he's a smart baby

[@Ange3333]

Victoria taught me how to train my dogs from her US TV show and also was my inspiration to become a dog trainer. I'm still in school and I have to many questions for her. I would love to ask this woman so many questions! She literally helped me through so much!

[@canthischannelget15subswit6]

How to use up your lurcher energy 1) get a friend as a farmer who owns loads of feelds with a path running through 2) buy a bike 3) cycle as fast as you can down the path and get you sprinting friend to dash after you 4) repeat for 20 mins Your greyhound won't bother you for 4 hours

[@RealGlowup]

Can this channel Get 15 subs without any videos? Lol 😂 nice tip! My little girl 🐶 is like a greyhound- she’s getting better but still lunges! She looks like a tiny greyhound.

I get on my four wheeler and my kelpie and I go down the pipelines. I can run that thing wide open and he never misses a beat.

I find her videos more informative and I like them better than Cesar Millán videos. I guess we all have our preferences

[@louicepaulsen-kangasmaa1377]

Love Victoria Stilwell! While she is a well-educated instructor and k9 behaviouralist with a wise heart, Cesar Millan...well he grew up on the countryside in Mexico and got his self-claimed "education" among the stray dogs and got the nickname "The Dog Whisperer" since he could (or did he...?) handle "impossible dogs" - by using prong collars, shock collars, taking on an alfa male behaviour, cornering the dogs. That man has not a wise heart.

[@dmo848]

Peaceful voice I would say this woman has. And yes way more informative

[@sussy5910]

@@louicepaulsen-kangasmaa1377 i disagree with you, it's his own way of teaching. he never used shock collars he uses e collars which doesnt hurt the dogs. Shes been training dogs for 10+, hes been around dogs since he was a child so he knows how to train dogs really fast.

[@bow123g8]

I love Victoria Stilwel I used to watch her show Its me or the dog on animal planet.

[@highfive6095]

Great message, stimulation as a need cannot be stressed enough. A couple of things that I would like to say explicitly: Even the teeniest dogs evolved from an animal that hunts over 20-50 miles each day; daily exercise should be regarded as a need for all dogs. A yard is not enough. You wouldn't stay inside all the time if you had a huge house, right? Stimulation is more than walking and running, it's also the way that tree smells after 5 other dogs have visited it. If you cannot dedicate an hour each day to exercising a dog, you should not have one. It's selfish to expect him to satisfy your needs (companionship, in-tact slippers, undisturbed trash bins) if you do not have time to run his devil out each day. Good luck with your monsters. Now go outside and play.

[@Jewls1000]

I take my dog for two walks a day, one in the afternoon & one once it gets dark. The day walk I let her off leash in the woods to sniff around & have fun. I take her to dog park too sometimes. Saying that- she's still bored! The mealtime thing seems mean, I would hate that if I'm hungry. You think I should try it though? Also when it's relaxing time & I'm just on my phone or watching stuff I feel bad for her she has nothing too watch ya know?

[@gargoylesanimalrescue5660]

Dogs love having 'work' to do, the canines at our rescue each have jobs. Georgia the JRT is Protector of the Cats, Paca our Bulloxer is in charge of security and Guardian of Georgia and everyone else here. Caroline, our GSDx is a Service Dog in Training!

[@jennifert3528]

Fantastically helpful. I have a 2 year, female, miniature poodle who is very active but does not like other dogs. I do my best to keep her active, this is extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@dhog41]

Good point she makes on dogs originally being bred to do actual work, such as hunting and herding. Certainly explains what domestication has done over time. They do need an outlet. LOVE that puzzle at 3:20. Could use a few of those at the animal shelter where I work.

[@brookesproat5698]

My older girl lives in a dorm with me and is pretty lazy and sleeps when I'm not home. I take her for 4-5 more walks outside which she likes, but her arthritis doesn't allow her to walk for longer stretches so we break it up with the potty breaks. I think I'm more worried about her boredom than she is, so I'm happy I found this video and learned some tips! Thanks Victoria!

[@Battle5star]

I have a little Min Pin and they like to burrow. I will give her a biscuit and while she is working on that I hide a few smaller treats in her favorite blanket so she has to dig around the blanket to find the treats.

I do hide and seek with my cassie- she waits in the kitchen and I go into the living room and hide treats round the room- she loves it!!! Another one I do is get a toilet roll, put some cheese in it and stuff the ends up with kitchen paper- Cassie loves it!! I got hide and seek from Victoria so thank you!!! My dog is very grateful!!!

[@Lisa-ih7fk]

I do the find it game with my dog on days when I have to leave her in the house. I'll hide treats all over the house as say find it as I'm leaving. Her little face lights up and she's away sniffing all over. I check the more difficult places when I get home and more often than not she's found them all. Some nose they have!

awesome great ideas thanks!!!!

[@wowzande]

To everyone that cannot take their dogs out for 1 hour walks. I personally think she is right on that btw Heres another mental stimulation method. Get a Kong that you can stuff with treats/food/etc. Tightly stuff it so it will be difficult for your dog to work with. It will keep your dogs working hard. Also go a step further. Put low fat peanut butter inside it with the treats . Freeze it. Dog owners who have anxious dogs, over stimulated dogs, reactive dogs. You must understand, dogs were not made to be in a house all fucking day. They will develop psychological problems due to understimulated minds. Try to replicate hunting, foraging, basically anything that a dog would do in the wild.

[@0Pain0Gain]

I feel for her but I am lazy...any good advice that helps? I only have so many hours in a a day for myself...any advice is much appreciated.

[@TheDobermanTriangleMusic]

[@tommarr654]

I've been very bored at my job so I've decided to adopt a few of these ideas to try them out on myself. I've spent an hour smelling around cars in the company car park...then I hid my workmate's dinner in someone else's bag. About 3pm when it really kicked in I tried the exorcise option

[@peaceandlove5214]

Im thinking of making my dogs volinteer in working as therapy or search and rescue dogs,where to start؟

[@geraldmiller]

Actually my dog gets excited after I bring her into our house. When shes walking she stops every couple of feet and turns a walk around the block into I get upset with her ( i dont yell or pull on her leash) and say lets go. When she gets inside she goes crazy.

[@ohno1622]

I try to walk my Husky but he pulls a lot so now i tie his leash on my bike and 10 minute fast run and its not so stressing.

[@gurbirlally88]

Lol my cousins pit up pulls the leash too

[@Lavenderrose73]

Getting a bike might actually be a good idea for me if I get that service dog (I want a golden retriever for that). If I just get an ESA, I'll be looking for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel end I understand a walk will be sufficient for them.

[@NaomiSwanson]

I bring my shiba for 2-3 short walks a day. He loves to play with toys so I buy him plenty of stimulating toys and bones. I used to bring him to the dog park but he’s been attacked there and I feel so bad because he LOVED it there. I feel like he needs to run more and I don’t know what to do..

[@Lisa-ih7fk]

I know this is an older comment but you should try roller blading or skating with your Shiba. You'll need to buy a harness specifically designed for pulling (search dog sled harness) and find a large empty car park or similar space to initial train your dog the commands for pull, stop, left and right but once he gets it he can run to his hearts content without you needing to keep up with his pace. If your worried he's too small to pull you could also do this using a bike and you can cycle fast enough so he's not really pulling at all

ØreøCrünch was asking if Victoria was from its me or the dog.

[@wowzande]

I own a pitbull, I Take him out for walks daily, but he's starting to have issues. One wierd issue is he is deathly afraid of my toaster oven. He freaks out, drools, shakes aggressively. Took him to a vet and not much could be done. He's not destructive so medication is not needed. Still I wondered on what could be the root cause of it. He used to sleep in the kitchen. Now he won't go anyway near it because of the toaster oven. While I knew most of this information, and doing intensive research on dog psychology, it all began to click. Bored dogs...... My pit created a phobia due to lack of stimulation. She hit the nail on the head. The excitement, overreaction when he is on dog walks,the overreaction of when people come inside our home. Why didn't I see this before? Fuck P. S. I think the hour walk is definantly fucking needed. Depending on breed, that is.

I KNOW all this... but how to combat this boredom at times when I'm busy working on my pc and he is sitting and panting next to me? the things you mention here is when you are involved and have nothing else to do.

[@Digijedi569]

+Seventh Universe Turning your dogs meals into puzzles isn't an involved activity, taking it a step further like hide and seek basically it's the same thing, just instead of one bowl and one meal, you can place food puzzles around your house for your dog to hunt for, again, not much of an involved task at all.

[@highfive6095]

+Seventh Universe Had a similar problem with my two working dogs -- I found that taking care of their needs before starting my daily responsibilities did the trick. Recipe: 1. Wake up early 2. 1 to 1.5 hours of running (fetch, biking, roller blades) 3. Fill their bellies They play like crazy, and then sleep like bricks. A tired dog is a good dog. Best of luck to you.

[@wowzande]

I'm computer science major. I know what you mean by a bored dog. .. Stick to kongs that you can stuff. Go a step further and stuff kongs, fill with peanut butter, freeze. So it will be even harder yet rewarding for a dog. Try to make activities close to what Wild dogs do. Forage, hunt, stuff like that. I wish my dog can just fucking watch TV or something.
