[@Blutman916]

I was a dog trainer at a pet store. We were only allowed to teach positive reinforcement. It took so long. And so many people had a hard time with that, eventually I quit because I felt like it was my fault. I recently got a dog and your videos are helping me learn it wasn’t me, it was the method. Thank you!!

[@Navvi_]

Pet smart right

[@DeceptiWolf0]

As someone who left a regional position for a cooperate company like that- their training is garbage. They shouldn't have training to be honest and especially therapy dog or any akc involvement. They scam people left and right when they don't even have real training or provide any real training. A few computer sessions and some easy textbook work doesn't make a trainer. Their positive-only advice is god awful. Which is why I never did it. In my room we trained each individual dog with the tool that worked for that dog. Period. Cooperate never bit at me because I was making them so much money they could finally add a vet clinic in the store. However, a new owner destroyed what I had going so I quit. Now to this day that store fell apart. They have no trainer. No clinic and lost their adoption section. Balanced Training is the only way

[@Eternal_11_Sasha]

+ only training is like never telling your child no. No rules, boundaries, guidelines makes for total chaos.

[@kristinepierce7447]

​@@h7kers321what on earth does this have to do with training dogs. Dogs aren't allowed in heaven so why would anyone want to go there anyway.

[@gloriauselton9897]

Thank you for speaking out soooo many dogs are in shelters because of this only positive nonsense. I actually took one of those stupid class with my Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy. I worked hard at home using mild correct and rewarding, she was awesome. I did feel bad in class which I ended up using for socializing. The instructor kept pointing out how great she was BUT I wasn't training how they instructed.

[@joeschmoe2697]

I love how he touched on desensitization. Dog owners are like parents. Some parents say “oh I don’t want to expose my kid to anything that could be possibly stressful because it’s bad for him” but then the kid grows up unable to cope with any little variable. It’s better for a dog to get used to the outside world, and for you to expose it to those factors in a controlled setting where you pick the intensity rather than stressing your dog even more because it’s never had that kind of interaction before. Basically if you don’t desensitize your dog, it’s gonna live a way more stressed life overall.

[@notnotretarded]

These longer videos showing the entire process are amazing!! Super thorough and helpful thank you.

[@emiraanisaacs4440]

Agree, thats why i only watch his videos!

[@jtg4002]

The fact that your techniques work so well has made my relationship with my dog so much better. Our walks have gone from a power struggle to sheer fun. Thanks!

[@keoneguy1536]

It's 2am and I don't own a dog but your content is quite captivating.

[@peterthomas67]

OMG! I always wondered why you touched your face before rewarding! “Paying from the eyes” makes so much sense. You’re spot on about my previous dog watched my waist for payments. Thanks for explaining!

[@ryanmalone2681]

When I’m training a puppy or adolescent, I like to randomly reward on a walk or a hike when he checks in with me and looks into my eyes. I also move a treat from my face all the out to a fully extended arm and then wave it around and reward if he doesn’t look at the trust, but rather keeps looking at my eyes. It doesn’t seem to make a difference in high distraction places, such as a festival, but everything else he’s always checking in and seems latently listening for a command.

[@julliavanderzanden8402]

My godfather gave me a American blue nose pitbull at first I was nervous about keeping him could train him I was told that it would cost a lot to train him being single and working 2 job I was thinking I was going to have to serender him or give him back. However in watching your videos I have been able to teach him the basics sit stay; at 5 months he still needs a lot more training but he is getting there. He is not only my service dog he is like the child I never had. After this viedo I feel he will be able to accompany me to restaurants that allow him to come in. Thank you for explaning what you are doing and why you are doing it. You and you team will always be in my prayers. Again thank you so much for what y'll do for every pet parent out there.

[@itsreallymewhitney]

Girl I can relate it's my story...I was given my beautiful Nayla!!

[@Botraf]

Your videos have changed my entire relationship with my dog. In an amazing way. I tried three classes of positive reinforcement training and my high drive dog couldn’t have cared less. Getting an e collar and your videos have made my dog and I so much closer. Thank you so much.

[@angeldee7287]

Must mention it’s very good to bug dogs when they are eating. I was “almost” bit in the face by my friends dog when young ( good thing I had quick reflexes, just a nip on my chin) so every dog I have ever owned, I make sure to bother them as so they are NOT aggressive while eating. I’m totally with you 👍👍 Excellent videos, thanks you! 😊❤

[@cindyrace4563]

I totally agree regarding touch while eating. It builds trust that “I’m the giver of food and affection”, not to be feared. If I don’t train this way then the likelihood of food aggression increases. Thank You 😊

[@DarthStacker]

I prefer this length of depth of video. The short ones aren't nearly as informative and reinforcing. Thank you! Keep em coming!

[@vincef7487]

13:50 B I N G O ‼️ If you get your dog to be OK with ANYONE in any situation, you won’t have to worry about your dog with ANYONE in any situation. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽‼️👍🏽‼️

[@mcuadra6466]

I love you closing statement, "pitbulls get such a bad rap it's silly". I CBG agree with you more. Amazing video btw. You earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the good work bud!!

[@BennytheMenace]

its not the breed of the dog, its the breed of the owner

[@Lefty1x]

That’s such an over used statement… it’s annoying, people stare at pitbulls and assume their “bad” when they want to assume. Easy statement is to judge the owner that you also know nothing about. It’s an easy way to constantly judge dogs and owner’s

[@radboytk]

I have a 6 month old American Bully and getting him trained up in the next few weeks. This is awesome content and thank you for teaching us

[@meganmorgan8597]

​@@AmericanStandardK9 any chance of a video or series on tools and an example?

[@itsreallymewhitney]

I'm upset but motivated!!

[@achieveidealweighify]

Positive reinforcement only training will always fall short. You have to use some form of correction in dog training. Also I’m a big believer in teaching a dog to tolerate kids or anyone else while eating. I do it by feeding my young pups all of their meals out of my hand for the first couple of weeks. Good video

[@KatherineSmolen]

Thank you, Garret for showing this video. I gave our Engl Mastiff puppy (2 y/o) a bully stick, then approached her and she growled at me. I backed off, I know big mistake. But just recently (about 2 wks ago) our girl growled and snapped at me a 2nd time when she was destroying her soft dog toy. I corrected her immediately, took the dog toy away and put her in her crate. She is a sweet gentle girl and never acted dominate towards me in the past and hasn't done it since this last time. You have given me the confidence to stand my ground and teach her what behaviors will not be accepted.

[@epiceeveelicious]

I always have "bothered" my dog while he was eating when he was a puppy to prevent food aggression. Now he knows that when food is taken from him, he will always get something in return for ignoring it. (This is how a trainer told me to do it idk if it's necessarily the "right" way but it worked for my small dog.)

[@jakemoore954]

Keep up the longer videos your saving dogs lives and owners hearts ❤️❤️ thank you

[@mgreene011]

This is pure GOLD. I’ve watched a lot of training videos from Michael Ellis to many others, and this is better. Thanks! I’ve used the same system for my pit ( Off a level 2 PSA pit). Whisky looks like a great pup.

[@vernonhall9262]

Man u are so awsome with dogs I recently had a pit come up to my job I took to her an she took to me so i gave her a home Ive never trained any dog of any kind anywhere so im learnin alot from ur videos An so is she But she is a super duper smart animal man i mean super smart Im alittle worried about some things because i think her previous owner was maybe a bit abusive or maybe just lazy an neglective

[@savagegamingg1239]

Just one of your videos completely changed my dog and helped me correct my errors

[@SIWorsham]

A fantastic video! I love working on place stays with client dogs. I like to get them to the point that jumping jacks or someone running by them result in eye contact, not movement off of the place. We always say that pitbulls are definitely dangerous, especially the friendly ones. Those tails moving at high speeds can be a weapon! I worked with a sweet girl that ended up wagging hard enough that when it hit the wall, she ended up having to go to the vet.

[@colincruznoosty9819]

I’m about to get a gorgeous bluenose and I’m absolutely stoked!!!! Love your videos and truly appreciated!!!

[@coviedogs]

I really enjoyed watching you. I've watched hundreds of hours of training videos and you stand out for sure. And I agree you definitely should be able to "bother" a dog thats eating.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you!

[@marcellacartagena7283]

giving the treat from the eye level is such a good tip!! my dog has been giving eye contact but always breaks to look at my hands. Thank you!

[@michaelpratts9197]

The prong collar you suggested made a new dog do fantastic !!

[@GaiaGoddessOfTheEarth]

Crazy how good your tips are. One of your shorts on leash training about it being follow the leader and the advice given there helped tremendously with my dog who I recently adopted. Plus this video giving some great tips and the techniques used helped me get my dog to stay when I am out of eyesight from him. On my own once he couldn't see me he would always break but following your techniques he was able to not break almost immediately. You make some amazing content!

[@neuralnoise06]

I like how there is not a lot of verbal communication with the dog besides the relevant information - the perfect example of less is more - thank you for the video

[@jankfish3252]

Sometimes they deserve to be spoiled. Love the video, love the training. Im on my second pit and its all about restraint. Pittys just want love and sometimes you gotta make em work for it or they will work the hell out of you.

[@lisabatchelor468]

I agree about the feeding I did that with both my pits from puppies hand fed and everything because I had grandkids and knew one day more. I could walk up and take anything away or they wouldn't take it till I said get it. Pits are amazing and loving .my grandson lived with us since birth the female was always there by his side the male would cry when he did and major kisses 😅❤

[@robertkezer3665]

Wonderful work. No raised voice. Very calm. Outstanding Sir.

I used this freshaping method on my 4 month year old german sheperd/husky mix and she understood this very well thank you!!

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Glad it was helpful!

[@angelwings197275]

I've got a mixed breed 5 month old puppy that I did a DNA test on so I could understand and train her better. She's 35% American Pit Bull Terrier and 23% German Shepherd along with several other breeds. She has 55% gaurd dog breed makeup. Since finding out what breeds of dog she is, I'm going to learn to train her. I've difficulties training her, but know I see why. I can tell she's intelligent because I've taught her to ring the bells hanging on the doors that go out and on the inside of my bedroom door, so she can alert me to go out if we are chilling in the room. I will be subscribing and watching more of your videos. Thank you! If you have more videos on training these type breeds those will be my first ones. 😁

[@C-24-Brandan]

Following your tips, tricks etc me and my two bully's have had a lot of fun learning and teaching eachother a whole new routine, commands etc really cool and rewarding when they realize it benefits them and can also be fun to learn new things

13:31 We had the sweetest blonde lab while i was growing up but he was food aggressive. Always got yelled at for trying to pet him while he ate but he would let me stick my whole fist in his food bowl and not care. that dog never even considered snapping at me a day in his life. Rip Monkey. Truly the best dog around kids.

[@mvzan672]

You’re completely correct. i NEVER listened when they told me not to touch Monkey while he was eating. granted i was 3 years old. But it’s much easier to train a dog than train a child.

[@macdaddy6453]

You’re awesome man! I could literally watch your videos over and over! Thanks

[@crystalthompson507]

Positive reinforcement has some tools to add to the tool box but it is definitely not one size fits all... If we had not *wisely* used a shock collar, I would probably have a dead dog because he was a door dasher. When he almost got ran over by a car I went out and got one. It helped establish boundaries, only needed to use it a couple of times. After initial use, the beep works most of the time, sometimes the vibrate function. We have a great relationship, he gives me wonderful eye contact. Right now we're working on his strong pull during walks, he's intelligent and understood when I said shape up and you can have a chicken foot when we get home and he did. He is an answer to prayer and his training was an answer to prayer

[@pittymama4500]

I don't understand why people think it's a bad thing to mess with your dog whilethey're eating. I personally make sure to touch and rub and pretty much do anything with my dogs that might startle them without desensitizing and make it to where my dogs are not going to make a big mistake because they're focused on eating when something comes up and startles them. In my opinion this also prevents them from resource guarding with you because they learn to trust that your presence and your touch does not mean that they are having their recourse taken. I believe that me doing this is a big reason why none of my dogs have ever had resource guarding issues with toys, chews, or food or anything besides a couple situations to where I was the resource that a dog guarded. This is a common problem with people that are like me, not naturally assertive and give too much affection so when this happens, I have to fix me and up my structure.

[@kristinepierce7447]

I just want to know how Zac George and Cesar Milan have a platform and this guy doesn't. But I did find you because this video was in the article on the Colby pitbull by Pawsafe! I'm glad it was there because this was VERY helpful! My lab x GSD is stubborn as heck and generally doesn't care what I tell him to do because I'm not his real mom 😂 He *is* really food motivated so I think this method will work!

[@SteepedlnStories]

I love calling spatial pressure herding because it's the same thing. I think it's natural because it's the first thing I accidentally taught my dog.

[@justaguy3665]

I hate all the people that think there are hard and fast "rules" for training dogs. Every dog will respond to things different, do what they respond to. A lot of dogs will end up disobedient woth only positive reinforcement. Mine did wonderfully with it and turned out perfect. My old dog didn't give me a lick of respect until i started on some negativity. Then made huge strides.

[@hisservants8003]

We have always taught our dogs to be ok with us petting them when they eat. We never allowed our kids to annoy the dogs while eating, but it was always important for our dogs to know that it was never ok to growl or be food possessive with us. We hand fed them as puppies and played with their food. Never had an issue in all these years with multiple large and small breeds. It allows you to also be better able to take an item, or food they should not have, away from them to keep them safe.

[@emilye709]

What kind of idiot would think that you shouldn't teach a dog that anyone can touch him or his food. 15 years ago with no training what so ever, I knew the importance of always putting my hands in my pit bull's food from a young age. Taking it away, then giving it back, having her share with other dogs and have other people touch her food too. This is just commen sense. It was so nice to know that a baby could take food from her and she wouldn't react other than waiting and hoping she'd give it back.
