Everything You NEED To KNOW To TRAIN Your DOG!

[@123closethedoor]

I have been around and trained dogs/puppies for 50+ yrs, and this video sums up so much for new dog/puppy owners in such a concise and clear way, Nate, you are truly a talented speaker and trainer. Watching your videos is always a pleasure! Keep up the good work!

@@NateSchoemer hi you are a good dog 🐕 trainer, but I have request, can you please please 🙏 do a full puppy series from the moment get go like first day first night, first week, first month with 8 weeks old puppy till its 4 months old. Doing detailed daily videos with all the traing required with the same puppy. That will be amazing for novice first owners like me and millions around the world 🌎 God bless ya

Hi, thanks first class information, i have a question, when first starting training and going forward with training, is it ok if you alternate trainers I.e different member of family or is it better for one member? Thanks Kevin

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

@@kevinmccarlie5717 it's best to meet as a family to decide what the words and rules are going to be and get input from everyone - what you want to teach, etc so everyone is on the same page and the dog doesn't get confused. Like if the rule is no dogs on the furniture, it's not fair to the dog if when Mom/Dad aren't around the dog is up on the furniture. Either they are or they're not or the dog has their own piece of furniture that the dog is allowed on. As a group class obedience instructor, our rule in class is whomever is holding the leash is giving the cues/commands. As long as the cues are the same and consistent, especially with the release word so the dog is clear about when the exercise is over, you s/be fine and the dog won't be confused.

Finally! A dog training video that actually EXPLAINS how the whole thing works!! I've watched so many videos, some better than others, but your detailed, thorough explanations of all the commands is fantastic. Teaching me how to teach my dog what I want and like for her to do is exactly what I needed - and I'm less than halfway through! I'm excited to watch the rest! Thank you!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:02 🐶 Understanding dog behavior: Dogs are motivated by accessing something pleasant, preventing something unpleasant, or enjoying the behavior itself. 00:25 🕰️ Timing is crucial: Within one second of a behavior, use primary reinforcers (food, toy, affection) or a marker (sound like a click) that predicts a reward. 01:07 🐕 Conditioned markers: Dogs learn to associate markers (words or sounds) with rewards, just like Pavlov's dogs associated a sound with food. 02:23 🐾 Marker timing and value: Use markers within a second of behavior; the value of a marker depends on predicting rewards consistently. 03:46 ✨ Training process: Start by conditioning markers, then use physical cues for behavior, add verbal or physical commands, followed by the marker, and finally the reward. 06:07 ➕ Four quadrants of operant conditioning: Positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment. 09:11 🎯 Markers predict actions: Continuation markers (e.g., "yes") signal reward continuation, and terminal markers (e.g., "free") signal release and reward. 10:49 🚫 Wrong and no: Use "wrong" for negative reinforcement (guidance) and "no" before corrections (positive punishment). 11:59 🛑 Negative punishment: Implement "no" to indicate a correction is coming (negative punishment). 13:25 🔄 Timing of markers: Begin moving within a second of using a marker; you don't have to provide the reward within that second. 16:11 🐶 Engagement training: Establish strong focus through markers, especially during puppy training, for quicker learning. 18:49 🔄 Release cues: Use release words ("all done" or "break") for ending behaviors without predicting a reward. 20:31 🐶 Use a terminal marker for training rewards to reinforce commands. 21:12 🏆 Terminal marker teaches faster response, associates reward with quick action. 21:53 💡 Hold hands by face to encourage eye contact before using markers. 22:21 🗣️ Say marker slightly before rewarding, avoid simultaneous delivery. 23:16 🕒 Deliver reward based on dog's attention, not just within a second. 24:00 🐕 Reinforce training with treats or toys initially, gradually reduce. 25:09 👀 Engagement training establishes dog's focus before commands. 28:20 🛎️ Conditioned marker leads to behavior anticipation for rewards. 30:01 🤝 Use different hands to reward, teach varied response. 34:38 🛹 Fixed shaping guides dog into specific desired behaviors. 36:28 🔍 Free shaping rewards behaviors you like without set goals. 38:11 🍗 Use luring to guide dog into positions for training. 41:12 🏃 Chase games increase engagement and make training fun. 42:37 🎮 Make training playful and enjoyable to accelerate learning. 43:21 🐶 Teach "power steering" technique by guiding dog with food to aid turns. 44:19 🐾 Guide dog's head for positions, reward with "yes." 45:47 🪜 Teach "sit" command: Lift hand, mark when rear end sits, reward. 47:15 🐕 Guide hand down, create a "cave" with hand for "down" command, reward. 48:39 🐾 Use hand to assist dog's rear end to stand for "stand" command, reward. 51:58 🚶‍♂️ Train loose leash walking using "heel" position, guide with hand or leash, reward. 54:20 🐕 Teach "come when called" by walking backwards, reward close to body. 56:08 🛏️ Train "climb" command by guiding dog onto elevated surface, use "off" command. 57:52 ↩️ Teach dog to spin in circle using food, choose direction, incorporate into training. 01:08:39 🐶 Using luring technique for training involves guiding the dog with food to achieve desired positions. 01:09:10 🐾 Adjust rewards based on your dog's motivation and perseverance during training exercises. 01:10:13 🐕 Teaching "walking backwards" by luring and marking small steps; gradually increasing difficulty. 01:11:22 🦴 Luring the dog to "walk backwards" using hand cues and rewarding progress. 01:12:19 🐾 Using luring to encourage the dog to "walk backwards" and marking successful steps. 01:13:10 🐕 Developing the "rear end awareness" by luring the dog's back end to pivot. 01:13:37 🍖 Teaching "walking backwards" with a focus on using luring techniques. 01:15:22 🚧 Using a barrier to guide the dog's movement while teaching "walking backwards." 01:16:02 🌀 Teaching the "center command" through luring with food in both hands. 01:17:44 🐾 Introducing the "place bowl" exercise: getting the dog to place its paws on the bowl. 01:18:19 🐶 Encouraging the dog to place its paws on the bowl and using pivoting techniques. 01:19:50 🐾 Teaching the dog to pivot and maintain its position on the "place bowl." 01:20:47 🥣 Teaching "place" command and maintaining paw position on the bowl for different uses. 01:22:31 🎒 Teaching engagement training with a young puppy using luring techniques. 01:24:30 🐕 Introduction to leash pressure training: using negative reinforcement with leash guidance. 01:25:54 ⚙️ Emphasizing the importance of negative reinforcement with leash pressure and correct timing. 01:31:17 🦴 Incorporating leash pressure to enhance training: starting at the dog's level and moving forward. 01:34:39 🐶 Using leash pressure for training. 01:35:06 🐕 Gradually incorporating leash pressure during training. 01:36:38 🦴 Using leash pressure to teach commands and behaviors. 01:38:49 🙌 Teaching dogs proper directions without immediate correction. 01:41:08 🐾 Introducing leash pressure while walking. 01:45:12 🐾 Transitioning to verbal commands, avoiding overshadowing. 01:52:42 🔀 Demonstrating commands with leash pressure and verbal cues. 01:55:58 🐶 Training should be fun and incorporate variety to engage the dog. 01:56:38 🗣️ Pair verbal commands ("now") with physical cues to improve timing. 01:57:08 🧠 Challenge habits by using verbal commands contrary to usual behavior. 01:58:33 🤖 Encourage dogs to anticipate commands to reduce reliance on physical cues. 02:01:14 ⏰ Time commands and rewards separately for clear communication. 02:05:16 🎗️ Combine leash pressure and verbal cues for effective training. 02:07:53 🐾 Train stays using clear cues ("yes" and "no") and leash guidance. 02:10:59 🏆 Progress from easier stays (e.g., "climb") to more complex ones. 02:19:24 🐕 Let dogs explore and pull on the leash to satisfy curiosity. 02:20:39 🐾 Allow dogs to explore the environment before leash training. 02:21:41 🐕 Build a dog's comfort in distracting environments to enhance training effectiveness. 02:22:22 🐾 Teach leash pressure response and focus during training. 02:22:35 🏃‍♂️ Train loose leash walking: Use harness and collar pressure to guide dog's position. 02:23:33 🎮 Make training enjoyable and playful to maintain engagement. 02:24:05 🐶 Teach dog not to pull using harness and collar pressure. 02:25:44 🚶‍♀️ Leverage leash pressure training for basic obedience commands during walks. 02:26:06 👣 Correct and guide dog using leash pressure for proper behavior. 02:27:33 🐈 Respond to distractions during training walks using leash pressure. 02:29:15 🐾 Progress from harness to leash training gradually based on dog's readiness. 02:32:46 📚 Understand stages of dog training: physical cues, command alone, rewards. 02:34:09 🐾 Address dangerous, destructive, and fear-based behaviors using corrections. 02:40:54 🐕 Tailor training based on specific behavioral issues and implement corrections if needed. 02:44:29 🛋️ Address refusal to perform commands using leash pressure or corrections. 02:45:25 🗣️ For non-compliance, use immediate "wrong" and leash pressure or correction for compliance. 02:45:54 🐕 Teach verbal commands, corrections, and leash pressure for command compliance. 02:46:49 🚶‍♂️ Teach proper stays, reinforcing with leash pressure and corrections. 02:47:02 🛑 Correct dog for breaking stay, ensuring return to previous position.

[@georgecarberry9222]

I learned how to use Pavlov's approach to teaching/conditioning when I was just a teenager & used it w/horses immediately & my dog. Then, I continued using the techniques for over 5 50+ years as a professional horse trainer helping my clients understand how to communicate w/their horses even though everyone said Pavlov's conditioning would work w/predatory animals alone. I promptly proved that was totally untrue & never looked back. My horses & the horses of my clients have all been introduced to a type of training that conditions them using the reward of treats. To my amazement I found horses are indeed motivated by treats just as dogs are. As soon as I established the fact my horses would perform behaviours for treats, I was very quickly able to illicit behaviours by simply asking for them & the horses would comply. I also discovered that horses in general, learn just as quickly when they are mature adults as they do when they're youngsters. When horses are paying attention to you they're learning from you. They observe each other & learn new things from each other each & every day, they also learn new behaviours by watching you with other horses each & every day, while they will also respond well to any training you wish to share with them on a pink or canary diamond recognition diamond.

Bro... your ability to maintain that much energy over a 3 hour course is commendable. It is no wonder you are so successful training dogs. I'm aware this is just the final edit and the footage is probably days of work which makes your videos all that much more amazing. Life saver.

[@hakainokame]

Possibly weeks of work for a 3 hour video with editing. I would personally have spent almost a week just compiling this information to paper and scripting it, if not longer. Then the actual recording can be 2x-10x longer than the finished video easy. Then maybe edit it over another week lol But then I'm not a KZbinr haha I know a KZbinr who ends up recording near enough 16 hours for a 30 minute video, then has to sift through all the footage for editing lol Looking at his views it's possible he has a editing team behind him though but this is the first content I've seen so no idea :D

[@isaacromano812]

I was wondering, if you have a well trained dog who knows commands in and out and will obey them without rewards, should you still take them out once in a while and while playing with them teach continue teaching already learned commands and rewarding them? Also I’m a huge fan. I recently got interested in getting a dog and wanted to learn how to train one before I made I final decision. Your videos have been super helpful and make it seem much more doable than when I read things online and stuff. But anyways that’s my question. I hope it makes sense LOL

[@breakfastbat]

Isaac, I will answer your question with a rhetorical question, how many things have you learned in life that you have no idea how to do today? Math topics come to mind in particular, how many advanced math topics can you recall if you were to take a test today? It's the same with dogs. You should be training skills for the dog's entire life if you want their reliability and knowledge to stay in tip top shape. The ideas behind Spaced Repetition Software might help you refine your concept of this idea. At first, you have to do many many repetitions, then you can space it out to once a day, once every three days, once a week, once a month. If you want a behavior to continue to be reliable, I would say about once every 2-4 weeks is the absolute minimum upkeep to prevent those skills from degrading too severely. Although it is certainly possible to go many months or years without practice and still retain a behavior, it is monumentally less likely.

[@Qwuiet]

The more difficult part is how to work with stubborn family members who just don’t wanna be on the same page. They don’t respect my advice and our dog suffers for it, there is no leadership, no direction. 😢 example, my dad feeds my dog freely without any discipline, aka spoiling him. When I bring it up, he gets mad at me. We need therapy

[@nicholasyoung2867]

I hear that. Been trying to get my dog to lose about 5 pounds, put her on a diet, and when I went back to the vet, she hadn't lost anything. Found out family was giving her table scraps. So frustrating when people that don't know anything think they know better than you.

[@Qwuiet]

@@nicholasyoung2867 I finally had enough and gave my dad a straight and serious talk, that we all need to just responsibility. I got mad at him and threatens to cut off ties with him.

Thank you so much. I have 2 unruly, untrained female rescues who i need to train badly. They hold their bathroom habits while outside and minute i bring them in - they pee and poop in the house. Theyre really feral but very sweet. One is 2yrs old mut and other is 3yrs old pitbulls terrier. Nothing i do is working, so i have to undo their bad habits or they wont be able to be adopted out. What ive trained my dogs is the past is not working on these two. The shelter call me to take them because they couldn't get them to respond to anything, the director wanted them put down. But the staff knew i would save them and i have trained all my foster dogs in the past. I have hope for them, of course theyre food driven.

I've surfed the internet extensively for dogtraining information. I'd like to express that your compilation of basic dog conditioning and training is the most comprehensive and most understandable I've found so far. And I've researched and looked a lot around for the entire last year, e.g. Susan Garrett, Micheal Ellis, Tom Davis etc. Luckily I'm bilingual and can research also in the English speaking dog world, which is a huge advantage for me, because there is far mor information available then in German.

First time i see someone valuing free shaping as much as i do... instead of fighting with agressive or fearful dogs and traumatising the fearful ones i do that with them to create a bond of trut between owner and dog and shifting the dogs mindset to a more creative, agression free fear free mindset and trust towards the owners bigger plans behind it. I love how i see the fear vanishing, orientation shifting to the owner without just avoiding pain but looking for fun an treats and affection :) Nice Video from a professionals view!

Amazing, this is so systematic and clear. Thank you for putting it all together like this! It's very generous and helpful. You've given me a rudder for training my 15 month old GS puppy...we've been struggling for seven months!

[@jamesl7097]

Thank you so much for providing training videos like these, especially for disabled individuals who can't afford thousands of thousands of dollars for a trained service dog. Also, I appreciate that your zoom training's are affordable. Once I get the basics down we'll contact you for specific help. Thanks again!

[@LoveKittiesLoveDoggos]

Many thanks Nate! I have been many videos about dog training and I must say that this video of yours is the best video I have ever watched about dog training! U are the most professional dog trainer! Your insights and opinions help us tremendously and most importantly, I finally have the confident to train our beloved three-legged rescue doggo! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sandrafisher4720]

So glad I found your site, your videos,are informative and educational for me..thanks,I have a Great Dane /mastiff cross he’s gorgeous but I’m and older person but love large dogs I have 5 acres and my dogs have lots of room..I have rescued dogs rather than buy a puppy..But friends of mine bred their female and I had pick of the litter I chose the largest dog but also,the most laid back and quietest..I haven’t had a Pup in many many years so I do need reeducation myself..after,looking at lots of dog trainers I think yours was the easiest and best..so will be an avid follower…my pup,is 10weeks old and ready for training although I have started but need o get this right..I live in Australia 🇦🇺..

[@anthonygriffith6178]

I’m in the process of becoming a dog trainer. This is by far the best/most helpful video I’ve seen 👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ITSKRYSTAL]

Thanks Nate! Have my whole team learning from this video now. With 8 dogs, this is essential. Appreciate you!

[@pamelasaba7885]

I found you watching videos for horses. I do + reinforcement with my horse. I will add the word "No" as a negative reinforcement, leash pressure and "Yes" for when the treat is coming. I use uh-uh for corrections and good boy for treat but I will add the yes and no. Also I need to cut on the treats. As you mentioned that in your video, since that I have not done it yet. He still wait for his treat so I feel bad if I do not give it to him after do something that I asked him to do it. Great video! It was very kind of you to give us a whole class for free. Thanks much! I also like to see that you love what to do. They are having fun with you. Thanks

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks for the comment and kind words! I'm glad you found my video helpful and that you're using positive reinforcement training with your horse. Glad you enjoyed the video and that you could tell I love what I do. Training animals is always a blast, and it's even better when I get to share it with others. Thanks for watching!

[@wefields]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and helping us who struggle learn how to teach our dogs so much easier!

[@dreameronbike]

Perfect timing, we got a German shep puppy 2 days back. Been watching your videos. This really helps a lot. I'm new to training even though owned dogs before. One perfect trainer you are

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks and I'm happy the video is helpful. Cheers!

[@thecoop3811]

Thank you Nate - perfect timing. We've just got our (now) 12 week old Staffordshire Terrier 4 weeks ago - 8 weeks old when we got him. My partner and I are trying hard to train him and we've watched loads of your other videos and I've bought one of your books (as well as a puppy class at the vets), but we are having some issues - I think mainly with our technique and this video that puts all the basics all together in one video is manna for heaven for me. This is how I learn best - theoretical general model that I can apply to different situations. Your clarifications about things like the treat can be delivered after the marker as long as the boy is paying attention is just cream. For me this is the best free dog training video I've seen in about 9 months of researching nightly - not sure how it will go for my partner as we learn differently. Thank you, thank you, thank you. PS BomberTheStaffie is our little guys totally non professional intended for family and friends KZbin channel if you'd like to see our waggy, cute, clever little pride and joy.

I have been active dog owner since 6yo ( 30years - 4 dogs) , now I have a new puppy and its been 10y since I had a pupp so I got rusty in the puppy world :) ... This is a perfect summary of basics how to train , very helpful very educative ... Love your channel , definitely subscribing .... Its time to bond with my newest :) , thank you for doing what you doing , very happy I found you.

[@umaasankarinatarajan817]

A great video that teaches the whys and hows of puppy/dog training. Love the way you walk us through each step patiently and love the way you enjoy training them. You make a great teacher for a first time pet parent like me who has found it difficult to get a good, humane trainer locally. Can't wait to put to practice all that I learnt from this very explanative video. Thank you.

[@judgejcb1]

This looks amazing. I’m getting a Cane Corso, I’ve trained other breeds before but I felt I needed to get some expert training advice this looks like the perfect obedience and training course. Thanks so much.

[@NateSchoemer]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!

[@mshock5150]

We just got two corgi puppies a few weeks ago and I’m glad I found this video and your channel. Will definitely be rewatching this a few times.

[@nikkibrewer3945]

Just found your channel today. I have a 7 month old lab and I've never trained a dog before. I've watched more videos than I can count and I feel like you have the best explanations for how to do something and WHY. My dog is very hyper sometimes and I hope I can be successful trying your methods. She still hates even having a leash on. Fingers crossed !!

[@ventoefuracao]

Thank you, my fellow jiujitsu practitioner! I've never seen a better teacher, both of owner and dog, nor a more complete and generous guide for understanding dog training... There's nothing here in Brasil like what you offer. Thanks again! I'll become a member asap!🙏🙏✊✊

[@inkdemon64mclemore57]

I literally just found your channel today, and not a moment too soon.. I am by no means new to having and training a dog, but I am brand new in owning a Rotsky, half Rottweiler half Husky for those who went huh lol!! He's extremely intelligent, loving, and eager to please. Just one problem.. He gets distracted really easily, even when he's eating lol.. It's hard to keep him focused, like if doggy ADHD was a thing, my puppy would have it. I'm definitely going to binge watch this video, but any helpful pointers for keeping his attention would be greatly appreciated. We love the big goof and he's excellent with our baby. He just needs inside manners lol!! ☺️❤️

[@rgeezee]

I can't tell ypu enough how amazing this post was for me. I have been struggling with certain teaching methods and this just made me see so many ways I was ill informed and provided the ways I can train my dog properly. Thanks so much for sharing this. Looking forward to all you have to offer on your channel here on KZbin.

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. It's always a pleasure to help out and see people make progress with their pups. Keep an eye out for more content - I've got plenty more where that came from. :)

[@seungppiri]

so glad i found this!! subscribed to your channel now. can't believe this 2-hour course is for free.

[@taketime0626]

I’m only one minute into this video and I already learned something sooooo valuable. ( now I understand the importance of the clicker or the “yes”). I have to got to work soon but I can not wait to watch the rest of this video!!!!!!

[@tombumpus5596]

Hey Nate, GREAT upload! I listened to the entire video and you refreshed my memory on a lot of things I'd already learned from you. There was a lot I've lacked off on that I need to re-implement.

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks, Drake. I'm happy it was helpful. This video was actually suggested by a viewer. They said that the basic obedience series is a little overwhelming and it would be helpful to put the most important info in one video. I think they were right. Cheers! :)

[@PickleMcTavish]

Thank you so much for this amazing video (and all your uploads). I have always had rescue GSDs and they invariably come with little or no training but have become fantastic dogs. My latest (GSD X Malinois) is especially challenging - she's young and completely untrained but extremely intelligent and willing to learn. She has made me realise that I really need to up my game and I have a great deal to learn so I can teach her well. This particular video is so insightful and informative - I've learned so much from it. I have watched many, many hours of dog training videos on here but yours are by far and away the best I've ever seen. I can't thank you enough for making this available to me. Thank you!

[@stephenmalcome3797]

Thank you so much for your videos that you post on KZbin helps owners like me to treat their dogs nicer and train them easier.

I'm training my girlfriends dog with only your videos, and I've been doing it for a few weeks and I've taught him the markers and Down, and Roll over, and Place, and I've got him to walk on my back, I've taught him stay, and I've improved his leash walking. It's so cool. He learned Place in like 5 minutes and was confident enough to jump on this box 📦. I've spent like 50$ in dog treats lol. Oh and I've taught him center

great compliation thank you man

[@jenniferjjholmes5794]

Thank you so much for this video. I am about to get my second German shepherd puppy and I am so anxious. I just want to do everything right. My last german shepherd was Amazing so I know I did something right. I just know there's room for improvement in everything we do. I have been watching this video on repeat for days lol. Of course I have the attention span of little derby there. Let's hope I do as well. Lol.

glad to hear terminal markers and "keep" markers. i use "good" for keep doing it, then "yes" and that is done well and finished

[@JohnDoe-ih5el]

Training a 6 month old German Shepard pup, great video makes so much sense why my dog seems frustrated and confused with me!

[@sylviawheeler2197]

I am so excited to see this video. My granddaughter uses an electric wheelchair and did 4H dog training last year. Our mutt was a little big and unruly, they did ok but I had to be right with her holding the leash. This year we have gotten her a little yorkie. I really like this method because the voice is the cue that she did it right - then Zoey would have time to get the treat. I'm going to have to look more to see if you have a video on 'heel' . That is the thing we are really struggling with that right now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@mirbelm1]

Hello Nate do you have a complete dog training class online ? thank you

[@everettwhite9874]

I’ll be using these techniques and information everyday. This is just what I’ve been working on with my 5 month old puppy on.

[@yesitsdenise7525]

I always find it really interesting that food is used for training, I understand it works obviously, I have eyeballs. But I also find it equally interesting that I have never used food as a training tool, and I have had bassethounds for 30 years And been involved in rescue for 20 years. I can’t give Bassets too many treats so I just give them lots of love and applause Instead. 👏❤️

[@NateSchoemer]

This is why when we are first teaching a dog a new behavior and using continual reinforcement, we use the dog's food, not treats. You can learn about the simple step by step process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX28dIJvfrmgp80

Really appreciate how much detail you go into, and how “easy” it is for the dog, instead of over complicating everything! Do you have any direct advice for a female GSD rescue? Your videos are very much appreciated!

This is Lucas from Carson City, NV. I just got a 6 year old German Shepherd from the humane society about 4 days ago. She used to be a rescue dog that was abandoned by her last owner. Her name is Popcorn. I was wondering if that was too late to start training

[@Harmless_medic]

Probably the most all encompassing video I’ve seen. Such a great video that every new dog owner should study and understand

[@user619tlsdca5]

The most overlooked NEED from dog owners is the understanding of owning a dog is to NEVER show emotions of ANGER around their dogs. Reason being is the dog reflects their attitude in the same manner the dog sees their owners and majority of owners do not understand this as dogs are just like kids of how owners raise them and why you see some dogs be aggressive towards people outside their household or even within that the dogs imitate their masters. Just say if you planning to own a dog, you must understand your own training of who you are of being a well tempered master or one who loses it now and then with their dogs. There is a time and place for everything and ANGER is a trait from owners who can work with of these emotional contents to be a better person as the dog reflects this and their view on people do reflect how their masters are in daily routines. I hope you can make video of this subject for it will go far on the owners side of understanding how their dog will act around others..

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks, and yes, I agree. Humans should never show anger when training, working, or interacting with their dogs.

[@BGSala]

We learn so much from your vids, thank you so much for sharing.. 1 of the things I learn from my DIY training on my Boxer dog is that it is easier to teach a trick or tricks compared to teaching a discipline such as loose leash/off leash walking or staying off the couch or bed even when they are unsupervised or even remember where and when to eat, to pee and poo.. when they learn them (disciplines) they become amazingly easy to handle.. I love it, we love it...

[@NateSchoemer]

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for the support and I'm happy the videos are helpful. Cheers!
