The Power of Training Your Dog with FOOD! Episode 15

[@jeanrenelatraille6421]

The fact that this video series is completely free is absolutely amazing. It is also quite surprising, to be honest. I have been following many different dog training channels for over a year and a half and I came to the following conclusion: None of these channels are really willing to teach you a complete dog training system. All they do is distribute bits and pieces of information left and right, create some clickbait titles, and promote their dog training business in a way or another. They do not want you to learn a real training system because then, you would not need to keep going to watch their new video every single week. I am glad that I finally found a channel that is different. I feel bad that as I am writing this comment, this video just has 6506 views while some other "trainer" gets million spending 10 minutes teaching roughly nothing. I am gonna start going on these other channels and send people over here. Keep up the great work and happy training.

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks, Jean! I really appreciate that and I'm happy the videos are helping. :) Cheers!

[@truegrizzlesfan2292]

Well said, I do this as well. All the time. To this day, I come back and watch the older videos for reference.

[@HunterDowns2]

I'll do the same!

[@katarinadrabova412]

I do your 10 steps focused heel training with my 1year old labrador and it's really really good guide! However my dog had problem understanding the heel position. After we trained according to THIS luring and Power steering video, he understood heel position immediately. This video was absolutely crucial for our successful training. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I watched many training videos but only yours truly work. I really appreciate that you put together 10 steps guide so I know where to begin. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️🐾

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'm happy the video was helpful. Cheers! :)

[@haydenkirk7387]

I've just stumbled across your videos, and love the way they are set out!! I'm getting a German Shepherd puppy in 2 weeks so will be binge watching these videos over the weekend! @7:29 where you are pivoting to teach rear end awareness is it the same as doing it on a touch pad but without the pad? 😊😊

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! Yes, it's the same as using a touch pad, which is also something that I do. I'm sure you're going to do great with your new puppy! Don't hesitate to send me any video suggestions to add to my growing list of new videos to make. Cheers! NateSchoemer.com

[@author505]

Nate, thanks so much for teaching us to train our beloved dogs. Please can you do a video on how to stop a medium size dog how to stop jumping up against us please? Thank you. ;)

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes, That's on the schedule. In the meantime. The way that I deal with that is leash pressure. We are going to use a combination of negative reinforcement and negative punishment. When your dog is meeting new people, let them know that you are working on teaching your dog not to jump up on people. Tell them that they can pet your dog as long as all four paws are on the ground. The moment the dog jumps up, tell them to stop petting. Once all paws are back on the ground, then they can start petting again. As the handler, when your dog jumps up on them, say one "no" or whatever your conditioned correction is. Then use the leash pressure to pull the dog off of them. Once all four paws are on the ground, then release the leash pressure. By removing the petting when the dog jumps up, that's the negative punishment. By using the leash pressure, that's the negative reinforcement. This is a very powerful technique that works on most friendly dogs. It's the same concept as how I teach the stay command. You can see in my stay video. When the puppy breaks the stay, you'll see how I reinforce it. It's the same with the jumping. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWbMdWubg51smNE

Hi Nate, !st, Thanks for all the useful videos and me weaning eme off my bad habits cutivatedaughter d since I was a small boys. WHat I tend to do is read a load of books because internet was not available at that time and I started with conformation and went into IPO in my teens around 25 plus years ago. I am retired now at 40 plus, but feels very bored and is starting to start breeding dogs. I am not going full scale, but just breeding the best of each breed I am interested in. currently, I am concetrating mainly on British Bulldogs and Cane Corso. I know.. what a size and brainmentality difference. I do co own other dogs in the UK where I have a partnership with the Kennel, but is based mainly in Singapore for now before moving to New Zealand. I have followed you on almost all your channels and I realised you have dogs that are pretty easy to train. Since my wife and my 10 year old daughter is moving back to Singapore from Japan, I would like to let them enter the world of dogs which I think can help them in many ways. Before any talks or reconcilation, I have been searching for a pair of Cane Corso to train for conformation ans well as Obedience. However, I know if won't befair to my wife and kid because they have zero experience in dogs and I would not be 100% ar ease with them alone with the dogs. I then decided to introduce them by buyinh a British Bulldog to start them off. I know they are a non sporting dog and takes lots of commistment and positive training to make them work awhile. the question is how long can I train my pup which is 14 weeks old and will be arriving tomorrow from the UK. Everyone said a 10 minute session would be good so toavoid any chance of overweight, I will be training her on all he meal time which is every 4 hourly. FRom your professional point of view, how long can I train my Bulldog for 1 session. I chose this breed partly because I want tolet them know that not everything cute is 100% good. the drool and the IQ will make the 2 Cane Corsos welcome ! Thanks again

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! With any dog, I like to keep the sessions between 5 - 15 minutes. I adjust according to the dog and what we're currently working on. I also like to stop the session when the pup is still enjoying the training, so they want to come back for more in the next session. :)

[@hekurucuk]

Hi, I have watched the video and went through the stages with my gsd puppy when he was 2 months old and all was fine until he was 4.5 months old. Suddenly he lost the motivation for food at that age. Now he is five months old and even if he does the behavior and gets the marker, he does not want the food most of the time ... He also started not to listen as much as he was before, not doing the behaviors as sharp as when he was a baby, taking it slow. He is very driven to his ball and doing everything for it, but the progress is getting really slow with that. It is also very hard to shape the behavior because he is very driven and not steady when playing with it. He is very food driven though, loves his meal times and likes his food. Before you tell, let me say that I use meal time as training time, just not giving all the food during the session, giving the rest on plate after training. I really used to enjoy our sessions and I feel our communication is not progressing when we cannot train with food. What’s your suggestion please? Thanks in advance

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! I discuss this in my dog training manual. You can get a copy here: www.nateschoemer.com/manual

What is the difference between "yes' and "free" command? Great chanel and very useful,it helps me so much with my doberman - thank you 🙏🏻

I want to learn all trick to train a dog before adopt a dog. I almost watch your half of your videos.

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thanks! :)

[@ryanuy3891]

Hi Nate, very informative and absolutely helpful video. It's very thorough and a lot of trainers would keep these techniques a secret. What do you use as treats? Do you use their meal kibble?

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! Yes, I like to use their food for training treats. If you're curious about what food, treats, or training products that I use, you can see them listed here: www.nateschoemer.com/store

[@bellasilva1597]

This isn’t really related to the video but I was wondering if you could make a series about training home protection dogs from puppy to adult. Well if you can. I am getting a german shepherd puppy in six weeks at an age of 10 weeks and i want to know how to start him on protection work the proper way.

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes, I plan on doing an entire protection dog training series after I release my scent detection series. Thanks for supporting the channel. Cheers! :)

[@dr.gailkunkel3569]

Hello Nate: I'm a bit confused by this video...it seems that you are giving the food reward at the same time you are saying the marker 'yes' ... but in a previous video you suggested that there needs to be a separation between the marker and the reward for the dog to learn...can you clarify please?

[@NateSchoemer]

Even my timing is not always perfect. Lol! There should be a separation from the marker and the reward.

[@erikponder6811]

Hey Nate, another great video. Our 9 wk old puppy does fine to follow the food and sitting when luring when the hand is raised.. but trying to get him on the ground he will always lift his butt up in the air and get in a digging position for the food. Also is there a way to keep the dog from going nuts trying to get at the food? I tried training before I fed him in the morning but maybe he was too hungry to really be able to focus.. he is a hound mix. I want to keep it fun but could tell he was getting really frusterated.. so I went back to do a couple of sitting lures he knows and ended the session. We havnt started with commands yet. Any suggestions?

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes, this is common issue. For the down command: I usually will do one of two options to overcome this. One; Lure the pup into the down with a full hand of food. If the pup keeps his backend in the air, just give one piece every second or so. The pup will stay there because of the rewards. After enough time the dog will decide to lay all the way down because it's more comfortable. Once the dog does that I open my hand and give them instant access to the remaining food. The dog will quickly learn to lay down to get the rewards instead of keeping the backend up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p57Km4GNec6ZZ80 Two; Use the leash pressure to remove the option of choice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b32bpX5torh3Z5I If he's aggressively biting at the food, then a trick is to hold the food in your fist. if he tries biting at the food, then the hand stays closed. Once he's being gentle, then slowly start to open the hand. Instantly close it again, if he starts to bite too hard. Repeat until he knows that he needs to take the food nicely. The idea is basic cause and effect. hope this helps!

[@arnaldolima1219]

How to drive a dog ... nice ... its very important

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes, thanks! :)

[@martiiint]

How would you go about teaching your puppy the difference between Yes and Free? I imagine this to be among the first things you try to teach your puppy? Also, do you begin with Continuation or Termination marker? Thank you, your videos are amazing!

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5y9aKiZpbBsqcU

[@ardaoutdoors]

What is the main difference when giving the Yes and Free commands? Any difference in when exactly we give the treat award?

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes = Reward. Free = release and reward. :) Check out this video where I explain the two in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppmXnaeOebubfrM

[@steveemorel]

Hey Nate! Again pretty cool video! I'd like to propose an analogy just to be sure I understand how the mind of the puppy / dog is working Basically here it's like you make the puppy draw a bunch of "symbol" and when a symbole is made correctly you reward with the terminal marker (free). Once the dog understood that these symbol are "good" or "wanted behaviour" then you can put a command, as to teach that this symbol was a "A" then a "B" then a "C" So it's kind of teaching the alphabet of behaviour first by giving the "shape" of the behaviour, then by naming it... is it right?! :)

[@NateSchoemer]

Yes, that sounds about right. Have you seen this one yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4WWemaOpdygm9E

[@steveemorel]

@@NateSchoemer not yet! looking right away! I'm planning to rescue a wandering Husky which have been in the street for some while now... I've seen people posting about him for a while and I guess it's much better to rescue him than buy a new puppy! :) I'm bit stressed about a rescue dog, and he's already 1year or so, and it would be my first one! But where there is will and love, I guess it can work out

[@breec3467]

How long typically does it take to condition makers? Also how often in that initial period should you try to train conditional markers?

[@NateSchoemer]

Hi Breelin! Thanks for the question. It can vary for each dog, but usually anywhere from one day to a few days. However, I like to do a minute of so of engagement training before each session. It's a good way to get the dog excited for training. I hope this helps! :)

[@alanprestigedev1320]

Hey nate, I’m following videos closely and completing the step by step videos with my puppy gsd , However he really bites on my fingers when luring! How can I make the puppy just stick his nose to hand an gently take food from me? Thanks mate, your videos are so helpful Alan

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! I would suggest putting food in your hand and closing your fist. present your fist to the puppy and slowly start to open your hand. If he starts to bite at your hand, then close your fist again. This is cause and effect. If he tries taking the food gently then the hand will open. If he tries to bite to get the food, then the hand closes. You'll be surprised at how fast they figure this concept out. :)

[@alanprestigedev1320]

Nate Schoemer thanks nate, appreciate the help my friend x

I'm attempting to train my parent's dogs who are about 2 and 5. they have only ever gotten treats in sit position so they do not understand moving forward for the treats, and not going into an auto sit while im trying to steer them... any tips?

[@fc-nn5jy]

I tried luring my dog with a treat , but he nibbles a bit too hard on my hand, what should I do😪

[@NateSchoemer]

Close the food in your hand and slowly open it if he is trying to take it nicely. If he starts biting at it again, close your hands. Continue until he takes it nicely. Cheers! :)
