I well remember the first "lesson" I had with a dog-trainer. It was a 6 week course and we would meet for one hour each week and she would do some coaching and assign "homework" for the following week. The first week, I was to reserve 1/2 each day to practice the "down/stay" command. During that time, I would put both my dogs in a down/stay, watch them carefully and give corrections immediately if they moved. I knew that the "down" part would be easy as my dogs already knew that command. As for the "stay", I thought that this would be next-to-impossible as one of my dogs was exceptionally hyper. At the beginning of the week there we plenty of corrections but as the week went on, I noticed fewer and fewer. By the end of the week, it was like magic. Both dogs "stayed" until they were given the "free" command. These dogs were so well-trained that I could put them in a down/stay at a dog park and they wouldn't move. I would take them to the pet store, put them in a down/stay while doing my transactions with the cashier, and they wouldn't budge, even with other dogs and traffic around them. I learned so much from that dog-trainer, but the most important thing was what was possible in dog-training if you're willing to invest a little time and effort into training your dogs. Love your videos.

[@melodieramsay655]

The only thing she needs to do, which is something that a lot of people do, is change the tone of her voice. High pitched, excited tones make a dog excited and then act out. She just needs to change the tone of her voice to one of calm self confidence and she'll do better.

[@underduress5761]

I agree. Tone is a big part of the dog realizing this isn't a game. Especially with goldens lol

[@slate2720]

That's crazy he uploaded this because stay is the next thing I want to learn how to teach dogs.

[@drewd2]

It's good to have the specific behavior to watch, but also, a lot of trained behaviors can be applied to how to train other behaviors if you understand they why behind the training.

[@naokookada9885]

Amazing explanation about why you would not call him to you as a release. I don't think I have never heard anyone explain the way you did and made a lot of sense.

[@Kate98755]

I trained my pup to remain in her crate until she heard break, she slept in a crate for 1.5 years….was a extra large crate….now she’s out of the crate and sleeping in a dog bed…but after nap time and in the morning she whines to wake me, morning, and still waits for her break command, conditioning. I use a treat after exercise time, and after all the training, otherwise she’s too focused on the food. She’s a Border Point, GSP and Border Collie…she absolutely loves thinking games and training, she goes into a thinking game so i’ll play…I’ve taught to creep up on her ball…she has to hold over it, using her inate skill of pointing to prey or what she’s bred to herd….she loves this game, I have to say closer, closer, and I have taught her to take one step at a time. I agree the lady used too high pitched of tone, again, it triggers something that’s difficult for them to ignore. My dog loves when she can barely hear it, she stares at me listening.

[@a.scottiedog2093]

Consistence is key! 🐶

[@jakester455]

And patience and follow-through. Most people just don't want to do the work.

The excitement Jett had when getting released..he definitely knew he wasn't supposed to leave the bed by the end.

[@etou1146]

It's funny that even though his owner released him, he was more focused on Joel on that last release. Guy knows who is boss. 😂

[@underduress5761]

10:21 that is a tremendous improvement! This right here is really an excellent example of literally teaching a dog to understand exactly what's required of him. In my experience, dogs like goldens and labs really love to please their owners and others. They're usually all around great dogs that just want everyone to be happy lol That look on that boy's face is priceless

[@angelahaines5065]

Queens guard level here in UK, the horses at Buckingham Palace sometimes bite, and if they don’t want to stand still for an hour….. they won’t !!, they have to fetch another horse out lol !! Great vid !!

[@slate2720]

You probably already know all about it, but just incase, when the horse does something like bite or kick to try and make you move away or stop something they should be okay with, give them more pressure, and release pressure when they don't give an unpleasant response.

Love spatial pressure! Underused and under talked about. Dogs understand it! Much better than verbal it’s how dogs communicate. Great for setting boundaries in the house for a puppy and then you don’t need physical barriers. Good topic for a podcast.

[@aussieoutbackfarm]

So good. Thanks. These Jet videos are so good. We'd all love another Jet video if you could. Oh and another interesting thing about Goldens, as a dog trainer, they are one of the only dogs that if I'm seeing a client with one, I usually won't bring treats. Goldens just get such joy when petted, especially on the top of the head and also the side of the head. Thanks again.

[@dogtrainerHillary]

A great (and easy) assist in teaching a bed-stay is to use a loose tether line. The dog can make the mistake, but can’t leave the area. Try using a tether as you’re proofing the bed-stay command. (Joel knows I respect all the commonsense training he shows.)

[@jillsy2815]

[@joebutler253]

With so many dog trainers on KZbin I’m so glad I found your channel. One of your videos that says “never let your dog blow you off” is so true. Before watching your videos my 4 year old dog would often not to listen to a command, even though she knows what I’m asking. I would kind of just let it go and not do anything. After your videos I started putting her back in stays that she broke or put her in downs that she refused. The first few times I had to do it over and over again. Once it clicked in her head, she wasn’t breaking that stay or down. After one day of me showing her it’s not a game and I’m the boss she listens so much better. Occasionally she still slips up but I just do the same thing and she catches on very quick. Keep up the good content!

[@TheStork1981]

Owner sounds like Darth Vader... 😂😂😂

[@bewing77]

Understanding how pressure throughout a physical space works is key to a lot of dog training and it really klicks when you realize it works similarly with other social animals. My example is cattle; working with cattle daily you understand quickly that you won’t ever move a 1,400 lbs cow by force, but by being observant on their body language, where their head is pointing and what they’re looking at you can get them to where you want just by being in the right place at the right time; same thing whether you’re on foot, horseback or an ATV. Dogs, while having a different body language and not being herd animals the same way are also very sensitive to this sort of pressure. It also seems to me that their innate understanding of this is what allows them to be so effective at herding other animals. A good herding dog just knows where to go in relation to the leader and the herded animals for them to move where the leader wants them, you don’t need to tell it.

[@emilyem3365]

You are the true man !

[@insaneshepherd8678]

Great method. I trained mine similarly. Just a small nitpick. It's not learned helplessness. Learned helplessness happens when you have a continuous negative stimulus (like pressure or electroshocks) and whatever behavior the dog shows, it won't stop. This will result in the dog to stop trying. It's also quite hard to instill learned helplessness in a dog. In this training method, the negative stimulus (the blocking and pressuring him back) only happens after he leaves the bed and he can prevent it by staying on the bed. It's simply a behavior modification through positive punishment + negative reinforcement achieved through body language.

[@patiknappen9086]

Joel i love your videos. I started watching you when i got my golden when she was 3 months old. Maggie is now 15 months old and doing so well. She does stay pretty well. I see i need to put her on her bed to stay. I agree with the comment of no mask...so sad to see people believing the lie that they work. We follow your training for heel and recall. Training is on going all the time. I bought her for a companion as I'm alone alot. Goldens are the best. She never leaves my side. 12:52 12:52 12:52

Hello. I love your videos. I have a quick question: From what age is it recommended to show him how to stay there? My German Shepherd is now 3 months old.

[@BDTraining]

Start the process around 3m. Use lots of treats, do it when they’re tired and do small approximations with distance, distraction and duration. Don’t “bite off more than you (of the dog) can chew”.

I have a 5 month old Shikoku he’s is super smart and very trainable, bread to be an independent hunting dog, a hound. I basically just train by positive reinforcement(treats) and he will stay for short periods(ten seconds) on his mat while I walk away, is it too early to expect him to stay for long periods ?

[@ImprovementsAlice]

Good video, you showed almost not edited the all way long

[@joyfulk9services]

I don't really agree with this- I walk up to the dog and release/break so they don't sit in anticipation ready to fly off there. I want them to settle in their bed/place stay-since it could be 5 mins or a few hours they may be there. I dont want to create that kind of arousal upon releasing, especially if its to prevent bombarding guests etc. Thats my opinion though. Everyone has one.

I'm having trouble with my chow chow I've had him since he was 2 weeks old bottle fed him he's 4 months now he's leash and crate trained well socialized and plays well with everybody and other dogs even knows a couple of tricks the only thing I'm struggling with is potty training he will only go on pads by the door and if I stop him before he goes to take him outside he will hold it I can stay outside for two hours will not go once he didn't go for 19 hours because I removed the pads entirely I even tried putting the pads outside doesn't work don't know what else to do

[@dana7340]

For starters get rid of the pads. Take him out for a potty walk, and if he does not go potty take him back inside, put him back into his crate and wait 30 minutes. Repeat until he goes potty. Absolutely zero inside freedom until he goes potty outside. Once he has finally gone potty outside have a “potty party” (omg you’re the mostest bestest boy EVAR!!!!! I WUV YOU SO MUUUUCH!!!) Also only limited freedom on a leash until entirely potty trained which should only take a few days. You may want to do it on a weekend when you have the time to devote to it. My deaf 5 month old pit bull came to us absolutely un potty trained (with zero manners or training of any kind) and we had her asking to go outside to potty within 4 days.

[@Md-sz8ys]

@@dana7340 I only work 4 days a week so I get plenty of time with him the only time he's out of his crate is to eat/play/train/walk in that order then chills infront of the tv for about 20min then back into the crate then repeat every 3 hours learned that on his channel. He only holds it if I'm home and try to take him outside to but when I'm working he will go whenever he wants so I have to leave something for him in his pen to relieve himself on if I don't he will poop and pee all over his pen. I keep him in dog play pen while at work because 8 hours is to long to he trapped in a crate with no way to potty or move around

I walk my dog off lead and I always make him wait at a road crossing whether he's in front or behind. When he's in front I'll make him wait until I catch up and give the all clear. I do it more often though when he's behind. I wait for him to catch up then tell him to stay while I cross the road and keep walking making him think I'm leaving him there. That way when I indicate he can cross he already wants to catch up which I hope makes him realise he needs to be closer when I get to crossings in the first place. He's pretty smart though and knows what I'm doing so likes to wind me up by lagging behind on purpose again.

How do you get off lead walking? I would be in constant "fear" that he would cross the road going to another dog or something similar.

[@CPB111]

I would recommend not wearing masks under the circumstances. Masks impede visual and audible communication between the wearer and others, especially in schooling situations.

[@Lifeisawheelie]

Also cloth masks actually spread disease more than no mask, because saliva etc gets caught in the mask and is then aerosolized when breathing, spreading the germs much more efficiently than with no mask. Also it doesn't prevent the wearer from inhaling the air unless if it seals properly against the face. But yeah. Don't wear a skimask for social interactions is a pretty solid piece of advice without getting into the germ scare part of it

[@underduress5761]
