For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

I love your remarks about dogs being selfish and choosing the "thing" with the highest value. I tell my students that their dogs are not the altruistic animals we think they are.

My wife taught her dog Recall... in a sense. If he runs after something, she calls "Touch!" and he runs back, gets a pat on the side or a snack and then bolts off again. What he has learned is if he runs off, he will get something nice when she calls him back... I am not sure if she has trained him or if he has trained her.

“Shaped by dog” -Susan Garret ❤ perfect example of what this dog trainer says. 😊

Thats a commen mistake I see with clients. She could still turn this around, easely. If she says come, or in her case touch, dont treat that very second. Do praise but move backwards keep the dog engaged and turn it into a heel. Then teach the "free" command.

Dogs got to know where they are in relation to you in the pack. Also, I always reward them with praise when they come back I never use treats. Works with my GS and sheltie 👍

on the rare occasions when my dog wanted to avoid the lion statue and cross the road in front of the volvo, when she wanted to jump off the wall of the fort because she could hear friends in that direction, or when she was running out of the property, onto the road, after a squirrel , i screamed stop nearly ripping apart my vocal cords. At those moments she had perfect stop and recall. Otherwise, its true that there were various degrees of command, like do whatever you want, come here, as a suggestion.

This is my struggle. Sometimes the kids leave the door open or he will slip past a visitor and run out into town to sniff and pee even though he is fixed. He gets his reward right away because he gets to do what he loves! Recalls great in the house but that's it. Im not valuable enough outside the house

@judymiller515415 сағат бұрын
that's dangerous and frustrating! put a few portable panels around the door inside so he cannot just slip out. use a long line and high value treat to train that emergency recall till he is consistent. also teach a "wait" on all thresh-holds (doors, gates etc). good luck

My lab knows recall by using a whistle, some days she's spot on, other days the squirrel will be worth 1000 points, i really get deflated by it, think I'll dress up as a squirrel, she'll come back every time

I've got a rescue GSD like that; great recall when there's nothing interesting around, tunnel vision when there is. I joke that he's an ADHDog as he has both the distractibility and hyperfocus.

A good way to overcome this is something we’re working on with our collie at the moment. We throw the ball with him and tell him to leave it. He does this pretty easily, but now we’re also telling him “Fetch!” And then when he runs to get it, we say “Leave it” again before he gets to it. Stopping them from reaching something when they’ve ALREADY decided they’re going to go for it takes a lot more effort (both for them and for you) than when they start off stationary. If you can get them to leave something when they’re already in motion, this helps tremendously with impulse control and you’ll be one step closer to getting them to leave something they’ve decided to chase. The next step would be practising this with a moving target. And then you can turn this into recall. But like Will said, you have to make the reward for coming back always worth it.

My dog has "100%" recall. First his pray drive just needs to lose its peak. When he stops for long enough to consider, "Wait, where is my human?" he will come at first call. He's a Whippet mix, so I don't really expect to be able to keep him off leash unless fenced in. I also don't call him when he's running after a prey, I wait to see his sense coming through to do it. He's managed to surprise me a few times and has gotten after a rabbit but I've always gotten him to return within ~5 minutes.

My dad has a 12mth old lab. He's such a loving and smart boy but he is in a household where 2 people are uninterested in him, 1 person was against getting him (cat person) and another person works nights/afternoons. Im 10mins drive away so training and quality time is split mostly between me and my dad, but also 2 schedules that are subject to change a lot. The pups learnt that the hierarchy of humans in charge goes my dad and then me, or starts with me when dad isnt around. This is making training him rather interesting. I have kids, but none are experienced with young dogs, so their tones and body language arent confident enough for the pup to listen to them. Question i have is when training this one, because we arent in the same household, will the dog pick up on what i teach him as things he does for me and what dad teaches him as things he does with dad, will he eventually learn we're teaching him the same thing and pick up on the verbal commands rather than expectations for food, or will we just end up confusing the poor dog? Is there a way we can make this work for him despite the different households and inconsistencies in schedules?

I never managed to achieve a higher value than any squirrel we'd meet. Otherwise a perfect recall with various audible and silent commands. A dog trainer I used in the US called it "Pray drive" and after two sessions recommended a shock collar, which I reluctantly invested in and used. Cured him for Deer, but not squirrel. Definitely an absolutely last resort with any future dog for me.
@DisforDogs15 ай бұрын
I got the same thing. My dog had perfect recall, even when she wants to run to another dog, when I call she stops imediately. And everything else. Except .. rabbits 🙈 Though when she realises the rabbit is too fast she will come running back lol Rabbits outrun her every time thankfully

@arona66925 ай бұрын
If they rip of your arm pulling on the leach when they see a squirrel, they are into squirrel. You learn that quick. More seriously you get what drives them by spending time with them, exposing them to all kind of new things, situations and noices (that is very important) and see how they react. Don't worry if they "overeact" to everything (in positive or negative) puppies are like that first, you just have to make them understand that everything is normal and chill.

I binged watch McCan dog training 4-6 weeks before getting my pup. They have quite a few great videos walking through training a new puppy. (And then some). But I used their methods and have been very successful with my Chocolate Lab. He is 3 years old now. And I still remind myself that when we get another puppy I need to rewatch all of the videos that helped me train Brasco. HIGHLY recommend!

How do we increase our value … playing and sniffing another dog as opposed to recalling for a treat, even a higher value treat. Another dog is worth a million coins
