I'm learning that I need as much or more training than my dog.

Training dogs is the easy part

Knowing that is 75% the battle lol I have done minimal training with my dogs and although they’ve been good dogs, and listened well, I can admit that I personally made it much harder than it needed to be. Lol

I am really loving these live training videos with the owners....gives me a idea of how i should interact with my dog👍👍

[@GizmoTheViking]

find a nice open area where there is little to no distraction except for regular nature. typically a grass field or something like that. put on a long leash about 10-15 meters, tie it around your waist and attach it to you dogs harness/neckless. then rund around and let him chase you. that way he will engage with you and find you fun. If the dog already knows how to drop his item, you can play fetch with him this way, just make sure you're not standing still and being boring yourself all the time. Move around with him. After a while, when he becomes a bit tired you can take your treat bag out and go into an obedience session to learn tricks while being outdoors or practice that recall. You'll find it easier to teach him this when he's alreadya bit tired as well as already engaged with you and finding you fun to be around.

Dear Robert, Thanks so much for all your videos ! I started following your videos late 2019 when i got my swiss shepherd puppy. I live in France and after hours of research online, your videos finally got my attention. Today, thanks exclusively to your training videos, my swiss sheperd of 18 months gets compliments from people all the time ! Everyone loves him ! I never thought that I'd ever write anything like this on KZbin but I truely feel that you deserve at least this ! So big THANK YOU, and all the best to you and your loved ones !

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Thank you so much for your kind words and dedication to training your dog.

[@Donkens]

another big mistake people do, is once the dog comes after it didnt listen, people punish the dog, worst thing you can do. If your dog actually comes to you, no matter how many times you called, never punish. Its when the dog doesnt listen you correct.

[@DenaInWyo]

For real. When you do that, you're doing exactly the opposite of what you're trying to accomplish. You're showing the dog that coming to you is going to have negative consequences, making them far less likely to do it! Same with house training. People think rubbing their nose in the mess or yelling at them angrily will get them to not go in the house. All you're doing is making sure they know to hide when they wee. No reaction to a house mess, and super praise when they do the right thing.

[@phcsdf]

I really appreciate your videos. They have helped me use my dog’s high drive in a positive way with balanced correction! Also, it is great to see you working with a green dog!

She needs more training than the dog. Having a hard time understanding Robert.

[@matthockman]

Lol she's so bad. Not everybody is cut out to be a badass trainer like Robert.

[@tyroneshoemaker5264]

Very good training session for the dog and owner. I wish more people would consider better matching themselves with a breed and/or dog's temperament/ personality that would fit them and their lifestyle. Regardless, the owner made a wise step in the right direction to get proper and professional training for both of them that will eventually help build their relationship and even save a life with a strong recall. RC is my go to trainer in the US when I need to step up my game with dog training. It was a good demonstration of the process with a real owner and a dog that was not at the level it needed to be with this command and connection with his owner.

Robert I love this! Next step tell the woman to stop escalating her voice in frustration.

[@GizmoTheViking]

I would prefer using a clicker to mark when the correct behaviour is performed as well. Our voices aren't perfect and it fluctuates. A clicker is the same distinct sound every single time, which makes it easier for the dog to recognise.

[@TheDowntown02]

@@GizmoTheViking Then you can use a clicker.

I wish I was as good at dog training like you are. I'm having a hard time with my dog

[@Mike-hz4jp]

My shepherd does great following any commands as long as she's on a leash. It's when I take the leash off, that she wants to do what she wants to do. This happens about 50% of the time when she's off leash when we're outside. I believe it has a lot to do with all the energy she has because once she's tired out she'll stay close to where I'm working. I'd like for her to just stay in yard, which is more than enough to run around in. I'm disabled and can't afford a fence around my property and besides she would jump it or dig under it if she were pinned up. I've seen her do both. She's very smart.

[@sarah21968]

Good job. Hope I can do it.

[@TheBlueB0mber]

You can! Don’t get frustrated & keep at it, your pup will thank you!

[@bloomingpoppies2023]

Another great video. Thank you! When I try backing up with the "come" command with my puppy, he tends to want to jump on me and sometimes nip. It does get him to come to me but how do I keep him from wanting to just jump and nip? He's a 4 month old Australian Shepherd.

[@chaoticcaninejb]

Voice inflection, body language, energetic, being a comedian and playful. A good dog handler can act a fool on command and be very animated. Act like a baby! Very beneficial to a dog and it's training! Preperary command "Name", gets the attention, then Execution command "Come"

[@wu2059]

Thank you for this awesome video! I want to ask how to teach my dog to not attack other dogs? Whe she(because is a she,presa canario,1 year old) see another dog ,she attack. Thank you very much !

[@gidgettrophy]

I did this and my dog gained 40 pounds in a month,now what?

[@lillieberger2883]

Use his morning or evening food when training. When they are hungry, this usually works out well without extra calories. Go on extra long walks to burn off the calories

[@3mily974]

Loved this video ! Do you have any recommendations for reactive dogs? My puppy is starting to become more reactive. It started when he got attacked but it seems like he’s getting more and more out of hand. He knows commands but its hard for him to concentrate.

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

Check out Joel Beckman's Rottweiler named Creed video for the foundation video for loose leash walking and reactivity. He also has a dog walking tutorial that's particularly helpful too. You're not going anywhere unless he's on your page. Proactive stops - they earn their way on a walk. Hope that helps.

Awesome channel. I'm a over the road truck driver. I've been wanting to get a dog. Any recommendations on what breed , age or do you think it's a good or bad idea for a dog to be in a truck.

Robert / hi/ Happy Thanksgiving! Do you ever use the tone button? I started using it for recall with my dogs and they respond very well. Just curious what your opinion is on it/ also can u use it for other commands? If you don’t use or like it can you explain why? Thank you

[@RobertCabralDogs]

It’s a great tool. At some point I may make a video on it

Is that brisk walking backwards, while training recall, is applicable for high drive working dogs, like Malinois, also?

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Yes

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

It's a Come-fore from years ago. Start walking fwd, dod beside you, then watch behind you as you call them (high pitched voice and one time only) and run backwards. Hope that helps.

[@mirekkudzia7052]

Is it only me or others also noticed that this owner of the dog sounds a bit aggressive when she is calling her dog instead of sounding more friendly (positive reinforcement)?

[@PaulBunyun]

Got very frustrated with my puppy this morning because he showed 0 attention to me and wouldn't come when called. I put food in my hand and he will come every time, but without it the dog doesn't seem to respect me enough to listen. We had a very strong bond but a few failures on my part have seemingly weakened it.... Hoping not all is lost...

[@alintiniuc]

The attitude should change from hoping not all is lost to... I can’t wait build that bond back up and have a great time. The dog can feel your attitude and is a reflection of you. You can do it.

[@PaulBunyun]

@@RedErin Thanks Maggi. Things got better throughout the day... Hes still cowers when he knows I'm mad (which breaks my heart, and then makes me more upset) but I'm hoping calm behavior on my own part in the future will curb this fear from him...

What do you mean she fights you? You mean she does not understand what you want with the bells or do you mean something else? Is she house trained at all? When does she have accidents? How long have you had her? What is her daily schedule like?

[@Desconhecido1975]

Hi Robert ! I've a 7 weeks old puppy Shih-tzu that i picked up a week ago. Since than he learned his name very quickly and i'm trying to teach him to come right now. He does it very well during the training. The issue i'm having with him, is that he only listen to the comand when he's in training. Once he is beeing distracted or chilling in his crate , he stops to listen totally. I know that Shih-tzus can be very stubburn. Training is once a day for 15 minutes. Should i train more with him during the day ? He sleeps a lot. Thx for your help.

[@DenaInWyo]

In my experience, definitely more, and also when he's distracted and won't come, go GET him right away. Don't just keep after calling him. This will help him understand that ignoring you won't work. The more you call and call and yet not make him obey, the more it reinforces him being able to just ignore you calling.

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

Shorter training session mixed in with play sessions. Even Susan Garrett, world class Agility trainer, only trains her dogs like 5 minutes at a time max. Especially puppies - they need balance breaks - run and chase you dragging a long toy, etc. Sometimes with stubborn breeds, you have to jolly them up. Hope that helps.

Excellent! With Labrador retrievers, I use a lip-based whistle with treats instead of the human voice kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJOuhn9ne7afqtU With competition later, whistle is the primary method of communication at hundreds of meters away from the retriever.

Training a 8 month old maltose she sits ,downs,stay but when you want her to come she just looks at you and freezes.Dog treats ,toys,and praise still nothing,what else can I do

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

Leash or long line to reel her in and/or can try actually running in the other direction. Sometimes falling down and crying gets them moving - lots of praise when they get to you too. Collar grab before a high level treat. As a release "Free, go Play", so not every time you call them do they have to go inside or fun's over. Hope that helps.

Doug H That's why she came to a trainer! If she knew how to train she wouldn't need help. Give her credit for trying. Too many dog owners are lazy and don't even attempt to train their dogs.

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

@@siphamandlabuthelezi8099 I lived on my dad's farm of 23 acres. Had 7 dogs at the time who could all be off leash, including the Dobe, Boxer, and the Greyhound. I would just call puppies! Really high pitched voice, they would all come running, get their high level treats, then get their release word to go play. If any one of them didn't come when called, I would go get them, they would go right back to the house, get a time out in their crate, while the rest of the dogs and I continued on our adventure. They learned very quickly, they would never not show their face when Mom calls or the fun really did end. All I would have to say, if they were taking longer than I wanted, Do you want to go in your crate? I also preface it with - your choice. They'd come flying to me. When your mother sent you to your room, didn't make you hate your room. As long as nothing bad happens to them when they're in their crates. Ultimate goal being no time outs. You can also do back on the short leash while you walk back since they ruined it for themselves - if you're too far away from the house. Hope that helps.

[@siphamandlabuthelezi8099]

​, thanks man, it really helps. I was worried that with my parents being old and me not being around the dogs will get no training, not even from a novice like me. However my parents after training my or their Rotty for the weekends that I am there, my parents seem to enjoy giving the Dog commands mostly for fun to see if they will do it but this has resulted in some basics being instilled.
