Naughty Dog Behaviors And How To Deal With Them

[@MCJSA]

"Someone who's trying to become a reenforcement based dog trainer." This is brilliant. Thanks!

KZbin! Stopped this video for an ad…a law firm in my home state touting their expertise in helping people win in dog bite cases! 😂

I just listened to this podcast on the way home on a 4 hr drive and was thinking about the one issue I have with Rebus, a Lab who scavenges when out on walks if people have dropped food. I don't yet know how to deal with it but he astonished me 5 minutes later. We arrived home, he was hungry as he'd missed his 11am snack and we walked in to find 4 full cat food bowls on the floor. He glanced at them and walked straight past them to go and find my husband. So proud that we have achieved this and know that with the right tools, I can help him not pick up food that people have dropped outside.

Could you do a tutorial on whistling? I’ve never been able to whistle 😔

[@fundip43]

7:37 also avoid putting in ice cubes / having graphics like a bone at the bottom of the bowl it’s something to poke at . Get something like a no splash bowel 17 bucks

More good information!

I've listened to this broadcast several times and finally sat down and made a list of things my pup does, that for the most part, I say drive me crazy. I realized the number one thing is her constantly sniffing the floor and getting under my feet she is out of her crate. I cannot get her birthday in a spot for very long. I also can't seem to get her to give up the searching with her nose like her life depends on it in every nook and cranny in the house. You have a suggestions on this or is there a playlist somewhere I can check out?

I have a 7 month old English Springer Spaniel pup that I am doing my best to train. With help of your videos I think we are making great progress. Two things I could really use more help with are jumping up (people, furniture, counters etc.), and digging and running through the flower beds. You have videos to help with jumping and I am working on correcting the inadvertent rewards I may have been providing to my dog for jumping but I would welcome any and all additional specific suggestions that you may have. For instance, what should I do when I leave a room ever so briefly and return to find my pup perched on top of an end table or sitting up on a chair or couch? I've stopped telling her "off". Instead I just stare at her disapprovingly and she jumps down but I'm not so sure that is a good idea. As of yet I have not come across any videos that talk about boundary training. My yard is surrounded with beautiful flower beds that my mother tends to meticulously. How do I stop my pup from running through and playing and digging in them? I've given up on telling her "out" The word is completely poisoned at this point so she no longer even responds to it. I'm at a loss as to how to reinforce her for not being in the garden. I need to know what action I should take when she goes into the garden that won't backfire and be more reinforcing to her.

Hi Tina, here's a video for your to help with the foundations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naWuqqNoopKFgc0

I have the exact same issue with my 5mth old springer-poo🤦🏼‍♀️thanks for the link Susan💖

[@zepangelzgruv]

What to do when my dogs suddenly try to chase after a squirrel/rabbit while on walks? Usually I yelp and yell, 'NO!' while struggling to stay erect and not dragged. Once they look at me, I tell them; 'No! Home! And, their walks are cut short. They do this crazy lunge whenever a squirrel crosses our path. When I am vigilant, watching ahead, I divert our direction. But, that does not teach them anything. Yes, when they see friends (human and canine) they do lunge in excitement and I step back and tell them 'Calm'. If they do not we leave the situation, they do not get to say hey. However, once the squirrel is seen and they lunge, I pull back and tell them; 'No. Walk.' And, we attempt walking in the same direction my bigger girl just pulls and will not stop until I turn our direction away. Is this fixable or am I doomed to this struggle.

Hi @zepangelzgruv thank you for tuning in! Our episode on dogs who want to chase things will be really helpful for you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGrLiX6CeLBjeck

How do I find a mentor?

[@sarahhaley7458]

CODE RED! I have a 10 month old Husky that will not recall reliably. She recalls well- to the point I think she could be trusted- then out of nowhere off to the races. I put her back on the long line until she does better....and then it happens, again!...and then again. It used to be that most days she recalls well, but of course, the more she had total freedom- the more it was reinforced. I am older. I have to train her to be off leash, so she can have quality of life!..but, I don’t know what more to do. The nearest trainer is far from my rural community. I have thought perhaps I should find her a more compatible home, but I don’t know anyone more dedicated, or even capable. I’ve never had to use a remote collar, but I’ve previously own shepherds. We are both at the end of our leash! Are remote collars as bad as some say? Has anyone any suggestions?

[@DogsThat]

Hi @Sarah Haley, Susan's blog post "How Do I Train My Dog To Come When Called?" outlines a systemic approach to training a recall - susangarrettdogagility.com/2019/04/train-my-dog-to-come-when-called/ And the podcast video "The 5 Critical Dog Training Layers for Confidence with Anything" is another great guide to progressions - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4rKhaiFrJp2l8k

[@azogal53]

Great strategies, thanks. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

[@dianawaite8206]

Awesome podcasts thx Which of your courses or books best cover over arousal around other dogs. I have spent 2 years doing game based training focussing on disengagement, but if he gets within 5 metres it all goes out of control creating frustration for him. I am worried the frustration is reducing his quality of life as he loves to play but is too rude.

Hi Diana, please send a note to [e-mail] and we will be happy to guide you with resources.

[@pittymama4500]

These are the situations in which I don't understand why we don't just take the one day that it's going to take to fix this problem with a balanced approach. I don't want my dog to suffer for a couple years before they figure out what I'm telling them I would rather fix it immediately when it arises so that it does not become an out-of-control problem by simply correcting it!

[@ad_2211]

My Lab puppy consistently has a witching hour in the evening after dinner, any tips?

[@DogsThat]

Hi @Anshul Dayal, we've got a video about structuring a day and night for a puppy to help, that applies to the first few months. Here's where you can watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIasiWinjJ1oqrc

[@crystalireland5892]

What about a puppy that chews on the pee pad holder and pee pad as well as floor mats. I remove it (manage) but when we're not home we need to leave it.

[@als21150]

Love all these videos! Currently in Recallers and coming a long way. You said you work with your dogs so that one doesn’t bark while training the other one, have you done a podcast or blog on how you do that?

[@DogsThat]

Hi @als21150, there's a blog post to help, here's the link for you: susangarrettdogagility.com/2019/03/wait-watch-work/

Code red! My dog eats the kitty litter!😳 I have been trying to prevent it but there are issues that are complicating and prevention isn't working.

[@carolemuenzer5490]

Help puppy baking - anytime left alone. She is a four month old Aussie. I just don’t want a habit to develop. This is a very needy puppy, I just don’t know how to stop it.

[@DogsThat]

Hi Carole, Susan has a great podcast video about this very topic. We will link it here for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmLJh4OXjNGWadk
