Why say ‘out’ instead of ‘drop’?

[@myvishan]

I have a 4 week old puppy, he is not allowed outside. He is too young to start training or not?

[@umamange]

What is the food that’s given to the puppy? The treats in this training?

[@Jbhcwow]

Can we get a Carol playlist, by far the best trainer, every video with her I learn so so much.

[@franciscadcunha7339]

Yeah, where are these disciplined pups coming from...envy them😅

[@TheBaumcm]

I have a 1 yr old rescue and while we do a 2 mile walk in the morning, he needs mental stimulation too and we’ve found that training like this is fantastic. I already use your 3 exercises to tire them out at home but this will be added into the arsenal.

All of these videos look so easy until I try it with my puppy 😂

[@stephaniereynolds7230]

exactly. It is quite clear these puppies have done this before. My puppy has NO interest in the other object for the "give" command..... unless it is a piece of sausage - and when playing tug of war - there is NO place for having sausage in the other hand - the excitement will cause a huge issue with getting that treat.

Thank-you Carol! I never thought of a platform to help the dog get square, or in good position. Great idea. I like your explanations. Thank-you.

[@onesassyzebra]

Thanks for all the tips. This is so helpful. I love the peanut butter on the spoon idea. My friends puppy doesn't like Peanut butter but loves that cheese in a can. She gets the low sodium kind and smears that on a spoon now to get her puppy used to getting her nails trimmed. Once that spoon comes out that puppy gets so excited 😆. I never seen a dog so excited over a nail trim before but whatever works.

[@jorgeherrera1074]

[@rocketcityk9850]

Very nice job. My only input would be to try and use two toys which are the same. Although dogs will still prefer one over the other, the more similar they are, the easier it is to entice the dog off the toy they are possessing. Once again, McCann put together a fantastic video the average dog owner can follow.

[@MilesPony]

That was a really good point/idea to use two identical toys that have the same value when teaching out.

[@kaylizzie7890]

My dog is 5 years old but im definitely going to use these training exercises.

[@borasca0107]

OMG. Love your videos! Smooch is such a cuteness overload. What a pleasure it is to see your training sessions. THANK YOU! At least now I can play with my Bessie and her boyfriend Pip more consciously, especially knowing that Bessie, Pip and I will benefit from these play sessions eventually. I wonder what kind of treats is Smooch getting while training?

[@bonmarie795]

It's a good idea to train at pup's feeding time. This way, you can use pup's kibble, slow down the eating process, & track how much your pup is eating. It also allows for more, "high value" treats for other training sessions. Have fun with Bessie & Pip!

[@vincentvanpot4333]

I have watched so many dog training videos, none of them are as straight forward and easy to understand as yours. :) There's a trainer named Zac on You Tube and he really talks to much. Always T.M.I., just show me how to do it already!

[@Maryellengray]

Zac ruined his border collie. Made that dog fearful of everything.

[@fisharepeopletoo9653]

I kind of hate the KZbin format. Everyone shows videos with such successful dogs that make it look easy, you'll never convince me they haven't had a little priming before the camera was turned on, or that an excessive amount of editing wasn't done to make it look easy. Show me some struggles and how to handle them rather than showing me the end result. I'm having an issue with leash training and no one has mentioned it anywhere. When I put the leash on my pup, she hates it. She freaks out and starts yelping like someone is beating her. Good luck finding answers to a problem like that from youtube

[@bonmarie795]

@@fisharepeopletoo9653I understand your frustration! I one adopted a dog that had been tied to a tree since she was a puppy. The collar had begun embedding into her neck when she was brought to the rescue center. They said she was about a year old & for obvious reasons had developed several fear issues. We worked on building trust first. Eventually I introduced a collar by letting her sniff & explore. She was rewarded for doing simply that. Over & over for days...Next I used a soft satin ribbon along with the collar, & again rewards for any acknowledgment. Eventually I gently held the ribbon around her neck for only a few seconds; reward, reward, reward. After a few days she was comfortable enough for me to loosely tie the ribbon on & play for a few minutes. We also continued the collar desensitizing while she wore the ribbon. Next was to swap the ribbon for the collar & repeat the above training until I could attach the leash without stress. (Introduced leash the same way) We worked s l o w l y through this process & three weeks later she was happy to have her new comfy collar on, play & explore freely around the house dragging the leash along. The final step was learning to walk with the leash, & she was confident enough at this stage! Best of luck with your dog's training

[@jonathandinh7798]

This was such a wonderful video! We've already tried these with our 12 week puppy and he's doing so well! Question though, you said you want you to be the most interesting thing in the room so don't let him grab a toy and play on his own.. but what if you want to encourage independent play so there is less separation anxiety when you're not home for an hour or two?

[@dimplepointfive]

I second this question!

[@carylhalfwassen8555]

Maybe she was referring to training sessions when dog attention should be on trainer?

[@GINAMONZON]

What do you use for a treat?

[@carylhalfwassen8555]

When I am leaving my 12 week pup for an hour or two, he will be in a crate. But before that we play tug or fetch or go for a puppy walk to tire him and also to go potty. Then he goes in crate with a chew treat (I found one made of dried sweet potato and chicken). He is tired and like a human toddler will cry about going to bed for a nap but after a few minutes he stops complaining and goes to sleep. At any rate when I return he is quiet and snoozing peacefully.

[@lcasnarky]

Use different toys for independent play and play with you. The ones used with you are kept special. Independent play toys will be tough and safe and busy toys. Magic mushroom, stuffed kong, ropes, hollow beef leg bones (uncooked), antlers, big balls (pony size), etc.

I don't like when the dog is so worried about the treats they get pushy or mouthy. My current dog I am training is so slow to eat ANY treat, and a lot less energy, so how do I make this still work. Also, I don't get what the pads are for.

[@lisajacox6633]

So I have a challenge I inherited and rescued a 5-week-old puppy out of a cardboard box that was born on September 9th what is the best way to help him be successful in his training I haven't started crate training yet I figured he was too young so I just keep a close eye on him and try to teach him the potty pads he's only 2.5 lb the vet says he's very healthy any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance

[@wdrew04]

they should start training around 8 or 9 weeks! stick to simple things like socialisation and the potty training for now :)

[@pricer39]

My experience with puppies is that they need to be about 11 weeks old before they can "Hold it" through the night. I wrote a longer reply to " TDOT" above with more details on pee/poo training. In addition to that, my only advice is to keep the potty pads near the door so that you can gradually move the pads outside (when they figure out that you want them to pee/poo on the pad). That also trains them (and you) to go toward the door when it's time to go pee/poo. It will only take a couple of successful pee/poos outside before you no longer have to have the pad out there in the pee/poo spot.

[@beckeysmiser7514]

Please don't start putting silly graphics in your videos. Other trainers do it and it is totally annoying and adds nothing to the content. Your videos are so well done and concise.

[@legallyredone5561]

Is anyone else tall and finds themselves nearly falling over whenever bending down to treat at side or while walking? My wee little Yorkie is a long way from my 5'10" frame and even if I'm just trying to practice rewarding while at my side BEFORE teaching to walk with me, my back is killing by the time a 5-minute session is over. I need to teach her to give me a massage afterward. 😆

[@jasminye1]

Great video. I have a 1 month 25 days old golden retriever. She loves food as goldens do. I was wondering how many treats do you give while you are doing this training? Do you break treats in half? Will I be over feeding him when training or can I do it with her kibble ? Thank you

Wait patiently until your puppy stops vocalizing. Be very neutral and boring, no speaking, no eye contact. Just that split second when they are quiet immediately say yes and give the treat. Timing is very important.

[@younkim87]

This is great! Is there a reason that you keep the leash during those exercises?

[@christygraber7547]

You might have already gotten an answer if you watched other videos from them, but they always keep what they call a "house line" (a nylon leash with the handle cut off usually, or even just a nylon rope) on their puppy when outside of their crate. It allows for easier handling when you need to stop the pup from doing something or go to grab them, especially for pups that nip because if you reach in to try to grab their collar, it is a higher chance of them nipping, and it is also very inconvenient. Whereas with the leash, or house line, they can use that to pull the puppy away from a situation, guide them, and also get them in nice and close for better control when going to handle. I hope that helps :)

[@stephaniereynolds7230]

Oh my word.... SAME! My 13 week old puppy does the same. He is FINE if I grab his collar or harness when he is NOT doing something wrong... he doesn't care a bit. I have done the "grab the collar - yes - release-reward" thing a million times. He is GREAT with grabbing the collar/harness.... UNLESS he needs to settle. In THOSE moments - he turns his head to bite my hand or arm when I grab it.

Hi Kelly I had that problem,until I started getting the clipped out when it wasn't nail cutting time... I would put them where he could sniff them and reward anytime he went near, then I would hold them regularly again without attempting to cut nails again high value reward for him touching them and letting me touch his paws with them.. Eventually after a week or so he was tolerant. Best advice I've had for grooming is the dog doesn't have to love it just so long as they are not traumatised or fearful also tire them out before attempting to have a go . . Good luck🍀🐾
