[@PazurLikeALazer]

What about when you have a rescue who did great at first, but is now having house training issues? He was doing great up until about a month ago (we’ve had him since June 19th), and we just are at a loss for what to do.

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

How about a Rescue dog who is 2 years old who has no training. Now that would be a helpful video. ie: hyper, aggressive, athletic, reactive, dominant, etc.

[@pennykennedy8163]

We have an 8 year old tiny dog who has been rehomed. She is very fearful of everything! She lived with 4 other small dominant dogs in her prior home. She seems to have no dog skills. She does not know how to play. She is not food motivated. She has been with us for a week. She is not housetrained. How can we help this? Poor little dog?

A few months ago I adopted a 1/2 Retriever & 1/2 Australian shepherd, a Liver /Red Merle about 10 months old then. I'd seen a rehoming ad for him and then 3 days later he'd been dumped on a busy highway.... He had the good sense to hide in a large culvert which saved his life from the traffic.... After all that he trusted me enough to come to me, but yelped when I reached to pet him. I named him Remmington, and he will never be homeless again.

[@merefinl6914]

The part about walking away from your dog instead of chasing them is so true, when I was a kid the only way our family dog would come back to me over a long distance was if I started running away. Even if she was ignoring my calls, she was still watching me enough to see if I was leaving 😅

This video is great!! I got a rescue senior dog couple of days ago and he's such quick learner. He has very minimal training. its been about 48 hours, and unless I say "YES!"-- he wont eat. He sits before I can even say "yes!". He learned "stay, wait, come, sit, outside, no-no, ok c'mon!". He caught on his new name within 3 hours. I've now transitioned to calling his name, and saying "yes good boy!" without a treat. And he loves the attention nonetheless. Right now, he wont even take a treat from my open hand, unless I say "yes good boy!!". Your videos have been super informative and I'm a first time dog-owner!

I've owned dogs for over 30 years and have 4 right now: two German Shepherds, two Boston Terriers. I've gone the champion breeder route and the rescue route. Shelter / rescue is not for everyone, and people severely underestimate what is involved in a shelter dog. Right now, one of my Shepherds, now 18 months old, I purchased at him 9 mons, from an owner who was in over his head. Turns out I became the 4th owner in 7 months. Why? Because three people were in over their heads, with the breed, and with all the work and time a dog takes. I wish you patience, and lots of it, because when you finally establish that bond and train the problem child, you will have a friend for life.

I've found this video because I'm due to get a new foster dog who may be pretty untrained.

I just adopted a dog from a shelter. He's smart as a whip...I think he's a runner. He's 65lbs. When in the yard he pushes his body against the fence. I think he was looking for weakness in the fence. When his mind is made up about something, he refuses treats. Yesterday, he rolled his back on the ground until the leash unclaimed from the harness Today he tried it again but I knew what he was doing. At this point we are playing a waiting game. If I'm not going in the direction he wants, he just sits. I think I need a longer collar.

[@misdina56]

I bought a 3 point Harness so she cant drag backwards out of it ! She is smart too and know How to escape !

[@fallbrkgrl]

"if I'm not going in the direction he wants..." This is something I'm dealing with with my 5 year old female GSD (shelter rescue), that I've had for 3 months now. Because she was/is fearful, I thought that she saw something that concerned her. At times, I know when it's something she's concerned about, but I now know that she's also blowing me off. I structure the walk, she doesn't get to explore until I say so. Her stopping, is her way of saying "no, I want to do this". Clearly you can't just drag the dog, but you also can't let them tell you what to do. So yes, it's a waiting game. I stay calm. I try going in another direction, and return to the direction I want to go in. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it takes quite a few repetitions (and a lot of deep breaths). If I do get her going, she is still pretty much dragging her feet. When she's scared, I don't keep constant pressure on the leash. I kind of use the same "pressure and release" that you would use with horses. Pressure, takes a step, immediately release the pressure...rinse, and repeat. There are a lot of other issues with my rescue, and for me personally, especially because of her breed, I may be in over my head, and will be consulting a trainer soon. Bottom line, the stopping thing is that they are testing us, blowing us off, etc.

We are going to bring home our first dog is a few weeks, he’s a challenge but the shelter thinks that we are ready for him. Hes a dog whos rescued from a horrible breeder who had all of his dogs locked op, with dirty water, kennels and food. He is a super sweet dog, but he is scared of a lot of things. Sudden movements or noises are scary and the whole outside world is extremely scary. We now are going to the shelter to visit him once or twice a week so we can bond and train with him before bringing him home. The trainers and behavior therapist there are amazing and helping our so much.

[@trumplostlol3007]

Smartest?? These dogs are bred to work and hence are very agile and willing to follow commands. I DO NOT think working dogs are smart. They are just more trainable if you start training them at a very young age to do some routines that are natural to and inherent in their genes. But they are severely fear aggressive, hyperactive, hypersensitive, ... When it comes to more complex situations, relations, cause and effects, these working dogs really are NOT smart. My old mix dog is smarter than my newly adopted Australian shepherd.

[@discreteloner9573]

I like the video. Most dog training videos or tips I found were about training a new puppy or emphasize that training since they are still puppies are the best way to train without even mention about training adult/rescued/re-home dogs. This video hit the right spot on the most important part; to not emphasize just "training had to start since they are puppies". I do believe (and have seen) that there are some people give an excuse of not training their dog because "their dog is no longer a puppy" when they adopt a dog instead of bying them or simply didn't train them since they were puppies (either don't know how to train/don't even bother/ just believe they are dogs they will know; it is in their blood - the last one is kind of bad but I had met and live with someone who believe that. The experience was not fun. Lucikly they were tiny dogs so the major damange was barking excessively - we have a yard for them to go outside and pee) until they are adult. When their bad behavior remained, they said it is too late to train. Keep up with this kind of videos. I think it will encourage people to adopt more adult/rescued/re-home dogs and reassure them that those adult/rescued/re-home dogs are trainable and can be their good pets/companions just like the one they buy since they are puppies. Some people would just buy them believing that it is the only way to get a trainable dog (especially a new owner who does some reasearch about dog training - maybe they haven't done enough or maybe it is really difficult to find any dog training tips that focus on not-trained-since-puppy). Admittedly I was once thought that too, except I haven't buy any at the moment of writing this comment.

They are 10, and lived in a shed. Dont stress to much on the training, any more than some basics. They only going to be around for a little longer. Feed them well, give them love, and don’t expect too much from them. This will likely help you if you do want to do some training. You can teach an old dog new tricks, but not like they are puppies

[@MackerelCat]

The Rachel Fam lol no my never listened either but he was a grumpy old man

[@imaperson5118]

my collie is rude

[@Jumpboy5100]

They learn fast, but they are so high energy and clever that training can be difficult to initiate. We rescued an adult lab collie mix and it took weeks to get her to sit or do anything still, but 30 seconds to jump over obsitcals. She is also capable of endless games of fetch

[@pwtmanyt6903]

Yes

[@jessi3sins]

this is brilliant!

[@Sparrows587]

Moving to a new state in a little over a year. REALLY want a dog again after a few years (I've had 6 lovely dogs though). Been looking at shelters online. Noticed a lot of older-ish dogs at 5 or 6yrs old. Sucks everyone wants puppies. Trying to skip some of the puppy stage. So why not?

[@johnulcer]

I adopted a mixed breed dog from the shelter back in November. She had been rescued by a humane task force, most likely from a puppy mill where she was malnourished and living in a cage (I think she was being used as a breeding dog, as her teets were abnormally large). She is very affectionate and clingy - at my side every step of the day in the house and sleeps right up against me all night in my bed - but when we go on walks she pulls like crazy and doesn't listen to commands. She knows her name and I've taught her to sit for food but as soon as I get the leash and collar out she gets so excited that nothing will get her to listen, not even snacks. She just zooms around and runs to the door and it's a struggle to get her collar on. Then she pulls for the entire walk. I let her off leash once in a safe area, and she began to run away back towards my house but then circled back to me, so I don't think she'd actually run away, she's very loyal and would stay close to me...but I think she just wants to stay a little bit ahead of me and explore and smell things, so the entire time I have her on the leash she is yanking and pulling every which way. After 4mos I thought she'd be getting more used to the concept but every day is the same and I've watched training videos on KZbin but nothing seems to really work. It's frustrating but she's otherwise such a great dog, especially considering everything she must have gone through.

Just came across your reply, I have no tips for the leash pulling but do have a great tip for all the excitement when you bring out her leash and she gets all crazy. We adopted a rescue a few months ago and she hates going out for walks (was already like that in the shelter). Whenever we grabbed her harnass and leashes, she would start shaking and being all anxious because for her the harnass meant going outside = terrible. You have to try and make the harnass/leashes stand on its own, so a leash doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going on outside. What we do now and it’s working very well, is around 2-4 times a day we grab her harnass and leashes and put it on and then we just do out own thing. Then after 10-15 minutes we take it off. Or sometimes I walk with her through the house. So the harnass is now something that stands on its own and she is now actually happy as well when we put it on, because it is equal to getting treats! Perhaps this will work for your dog as well, but no tips for the pulling tho. Good luck!

She sounds just like my dog. I'm not sure if it's the same for your dog, but I think mine does this because she has so much pent up energy and she's just so excited and happy to be outside, she wants to explore everything as quickly as possible. She's not at all food motivated outside because she's way more motivated by all the new sights and sounds. We're still working through it, but for me, what helped a lot is ending the fun whenever she doesn't listen. So if she pulls on the leash, we stop walking. If she won't stop barking at something we stop walking. Also VERY high value treats that we don't give her often do sometimes work for her, like real chicken

We rescued a 2 year old husky/Shepard/lab mix 7 months ago. He is a beautiful and loving dog. We are having lots of success with our training. One thing I cannot find any info on is that he will not do his business in our yard, which is large. Even though he shows us that he needs to go out, it usually takes 20 minutes of walking before he urinates and more like 45 minutes for the other. Sometimes we need him to do his business quickly. Occasionally he has done his business in our basement in the middle of the night even though we had a long walk around 8pm. We trained our previous family dog from a pup and taught him to 'get busy' to do his business. Any tips?

[@bethanderson2220]

Hiya. We ve adopted a rescue dog literally 5 days ago. I know she s in shock.. From a hoarding situation. I take her out to potty area every hr as vet suggested. No results. She comes in then goes bathroom. Anywhere anytime. Am I on the right track? Establishing routine? I realize its all new. We love her no yelling at all. Thankyou.🐾

[@davegink9222]

Could you go into a little more detail of why you use “wait” instead of “stay”?

[@bellajaid]

In the past we've used both. Wait was used to get in and out doors ("Wait", open door "Okay" or "go" to release. "Go" is usually "Act wild and have fun" when leaving the house where "Okay" is more of a relaxed release). "Stay" to let him know he was not going with us. Basically wait has follow-up instructions for us, stay does not.

[@davegink9222]

@@bellajaid thanks!!

[@tylerburnett3785]

my dog is half border collie and he paws at everything just like slam does

[@youreaeejit511]

Thanks for this video ,in 3 days in getting a 10 month old border collie who in his previous home was allowed to do whatever. And since he is already 10 months he thinks that that's how you behave. My current border collie dog was trained from a pup so I had no clue on where to start with him!

[@juffurey]

Thank you, all these videos on KZbin are for people who only want puppies.

[@nsj2kx]

Ken, thanks for the awesome videos! Also I enjoy your skits on SNL* (*Beck Bennett)

[@danielleybelly8039]

what if your dog is not food motivated?

[@McCannDogs]

Great question, we just made a video specific to this - check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKuxlat8erWFeM0 Happy Training!

[@KM-px8cs]

Super helpful vid, and Slam has very intelligent eyes.

[@SaveMoreFloofs]

Im trying to train my 2 five yr old labs but they are having trouble with patients. every time i bring out a treat they get very energetic and distracted. The only thing there focused on is trying to get to the treat, does anyone have any tips on how to help that?

[@susanmassey2226]

Can you crate train an older dog that is a rescue that was possibly a puppy mill female?

[@scoutmcgee6385]

We just fostered a Great Pyrenees who is 3 years old and gets aggressive around other dogs we need help. He doesn’t like dogs even when we go on walks and dogs are across the street.

[@donessacordero1312]

What type of treats do you use when training? I bought "training treats" but my dog does not like them. I saw that you also used dog kibble as a training treat as well, but my dog does not care that much for her dry dog food. I have to entice her to eat it by mixing some soft food with it. Your help is appreciated. Thank you!
