Puppy Training Tips - Polite manners around food with other dogs

[@curryqueen]

I love these short focused training ideas in the early days!

[@kikopup]

Thanks! After I made this video I saw youtube algorithms not happy with the length of the video :( So they hid lowered the views to all my other videos, so I might just release the tips together in a 10 min video to make yt happy... Sigh. Its hard when you think something is a really great video and then it gets hidden cause it doesnt go with the algorithms.

[@curryqueen]

@@kikopup ugh, so sorry to hear. KZbin makes it so hard for creators nowadays

[@Anisky123]

Dog Training by Kikopup I don’t know about algorithms, but the long videos/lessons and compilations are terrific!!

I've been following Your Videos for years, now. I've learned a lot, already, and I'm learning, still. It helps a lot. Thank You! Stefan (Germany) & Edo (former BorderPatrol-GermanShepherd from Slovakia)

[@kikopup]

Awe thanks!

[@autistikait]

Your new puppy videos are such perfect timing. We just got our new puppy this weekend so I’m basically following along real time haha.

[@kikopup]

Oh sweet!

[@jassonandrade2026]

You have no idea how badly I needed to see this. My new pup is doing exactly this. Thank you!!!

[@kikopup]

Oh yay!

[@laurenlev4]

I needed this sooo bad! I’ve had two Shihtzus for awhile now and have had trouble working with them because they need first, to master taking turns!

[@kikopup]

It will be super hard at first, but with time they will master it with practice!

[@janhankins911]

Taking turns is something we're working on here! So this was very timely. And I love too see you working with "untrained" dogs that act more like mine do! When I see a trained dog do something (a dog that is "perfect" and doesn't make a mistake), and then I see my own dogs make mistakes I think I am doing something wrong and that I just can't train. Seeing that your dogs also make mistakes during the training process is really helpful and helps me continue on without giving up in frustration because I'm assuming I really stink at training.

[@kikopup]

Another thing I do is use an extremely high rate of reinforcement so Ill even give a treat for an error then make the next trial easier for the dog so the dog will have success. I bet if you went through where I am just training and not talking and counted how many treats I give to the dog, then watch a video where the dog looks all over the place of someone elses on youtube, you will see that they are not giving as much reinforcement as me and that is why the dog looks well behaved.

[@Tulane682]

I loved your comment in the other video about the pup's instinct to herd. Oddly, I have never thought about this with my little border, and he blocks me often. Now I know how to get him used to walking beside me more when in the house...I love picking up little things like that from you. Thank you!! Your new pup is unbelievably perfect, by the way too cute!

[@wallsofgab]

Oh this is so much better than what I was trying to do, thank you! Myself and my family have a 4mo and a 6mo puppy and it's been hard to cash in on everyday training opportunities when they both want each other's treats! If I start to work on the 4mo old, the 6mo old offers all of her trick behaviours and goes "okay, that's my treat now!" 😂

[@kikopup]

[@Asian_Caleb]

Thank you so much for making all these videos I just got a new puppy (named Bilbo) and it’s so helpful having a training plan to go by that isn’t psychologically or physically distressing for him.

[@kikopup]

Oh congrats on your new puppy!

[@tedjack9184]

Thank you! We follow your adventures with great interest.

[@christinataccogna6406]

Another awesome video! Learning to take turns is so important. Seeing them practice from different positions was so interesting!

You are welcome!

Thank you for this video. Literally perfect timing! 💕

[@kikopup]

Oh yay!

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

Little Epic is acting more mature and seems to have gained some adult weight. Just an observation for others who might not think about it: working with a small breed dog along with a larger breed puppy, it's really easy to overfeed treats to the little one.

[@kikopup]

Lol I gained some "adult weight" too! Actually she was in heat before I got the puppy and then a false pregnancy so her teats were very large, they are finally going down. She could be a little skinnier though, but I will reduce food later when she's all done.

[@joannaycwang2706]

Oh yes definitely something my dog needs to learn. 🤪 The puppy is doing so good. 💕

[@kikopup]

Awe thanks! :)

[@Karolykk]

really enjoying these videos! my dog has some anxiety and became possessive over me as his owner, now he’s showing some agressive behavior toward our other dog and family members when I’m around. I’m at a crossroads on how to proceed with him but I’m trying to use your videos as a guide for some obedience training. It’s a bit disheartening because I haven’t seen videos that tackle exactly what I need but these have been helping a lot in the meantime!

So turns out i’m the one needing impulse control training, i can’t get over how cute and tiny he is :(

[@kombinatsiya6000]

Tbh 90% of all bad dog behavior seems to be caused by people. 😌

Awe :) Hehe me too!

[@DynastyTrickDogs]

Super great video, it's such an under rated skill.

[@kikopup]

It really is!

[@lindas.martin2806]

Oh how I wish I did this with my latest three rescues when they were small!!!

[@elacectrea2931]

Thanks for all these new videos in such a short amount of time! Do you use a cue to end the training session so the dogs know the training is over?

[@kikopup]

No I just tell them they did a good job and everyone gets an extra treat for getting released from waiting their turn including the working dog, then I take them out to the toilet .

[@elacectrea2931]

@@kikopup Got it, thank you for answering!

[@spanish-inquisition2024]

So cool ❤

This is awesome! You always provide such good advice! :)

Thanks!

[@Scarletlight525]

This is something I really need to work on with my dog. He has gotten a whole lot better with resource guarding, but he does still do it a bit when other dogs and food are involve...

Love to watch your videos!

[@kikopup]

thanks!

[@kat200214]

Could you possibly publish a list of all the treats/chews you use? I'm sure many of us would appreciate it!

[@kikopup]

I have this video on what treats to use kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn3YfKGoi76gh9U

[@isabellea.8299]

Great vid as always! I have to ask though... How many dogs do you have now?! Seven? Eight? Not a criticism at all, they are all very well trained and obviously well loved and cared for. The more the merrier! I am curious to know though if each dog has a job/purpose? Is there a "goal" with each new pup (like a dog sport or skill etc.) or is it just adding to a happy family? I would definitely be interested to know if each has a specialized training regimen dedicated to a specific sport/skill, or if they are all generalists.

[@kikopup]

Well, 3 of my dogs are over 12 years old so my job is to just be their care giver and fill their lives with joy :) The others to mainly enjoy our lives together doing fun things that we both like to do. Vague I know :)

[@isabellea.8299]

@@kikopup I didn't realize you had such a mature crew. Time flies. Looking forward to seeing this pup grow up and excel!

[@thebarkisdue]

these dogs are awesome and Emily is an extraordinary trainer! Is it me or Epic avoids bearing weight on her rear right leg? 🐕

[@kikopup]

Perhaps, but It could also be that she has the same issue as kiko, her hocks hyperextend so sometimes one or the other leg will be overly strait or even inverted...She also had a right knee that is worse than the left for luxating patella.

[@thebarkisdue]

@@kikopup All your dogs are the bomb hocks and patellas aside!

[@cyn379]

Such a cutie!

[@joepeezy4sheezy]

Hi Emily, We had quite a scare with Lucy our corgi 8 month old. We were at a park and Lucy quite possibly ate a cigarette butt or two. I did not see her get it and about an hour after we were there she started acting drunk and couldn’t hold herself up. All our local vets were at capacity and we had to take her home. She is mostly back to normal now thank goodness. But if you have any tips on keeping puppies from picking up anything off the ground, man that would be so helpful. I am blaming myself since I had our 3 year old daughter and the dog so I couldn’t pay attention to everything and poor Lucy paid the price.

[@kikopup]

[@joepeezy4sheezy]

@@kikopup thank you so much. Do you think a muzzle is a solution? We really don’t want to, but her curiosity is getting the best of her and her safety is a priority.

[@fiverolltacos]

if i have one dog i wanna train and anotjer im not worried about being super trained fo i have to train the other dog? one is a malinois/gsd/dutch shepherd mix and rhe one im not worried bout is a frenchie my girls dog.

[@lisah4117]

Wow, Epic is so big already!

[@kikopup]

I know!

[@tulsisevadasi]

My 18 week old poodle keeps jumping on and rushing at my 12 year old labrador. I do interruption noises and distraction but it is still a major problem.

[@kikopup]

Sometimes putting the old dog in the pen can help to reinforce the young one for good choices when out and about then when they are loose together you can go strait to working on settles on beds near eachother before they think to interact

[@sarahkalnajs5810]

Fabulous!

[@kikopup]

Thanks!

[@NannaD1989]

Hello 😃 How would you train a new and old dog when the old dog has pancreatitis? Theoretically, my old dog should not get treats as he cannot digest fat and protein.

[@kikopup]

I suggest giving the old dog his diet when needed, wet food or kibble and do the majority of training when the old dog is on a walk or vice versa.

[@celwise]

sweet pups

[@kikopup]

Thanks!

[@megchip7235]

Epic is so cute. Super attentive and pretty 😘

[@pensvoice]

Any tips for tackling this if you only have one dog? My pup is not bad at home but awful when ‘friends’ are around she is dreadful.

[@kikopup]

Begin with them settling on mats at a distance they are comfortable, mark every time your friends dog gets a treat. Get a trainer who uses positive reinforcement to help you if need be. Perhaps they have some calm demo dogs to use.

[@lisahind9613]

Wouldn't it be alot easier to use the puppies names as you give them treats? I've got two dogs, who sit and wait for their turn, giving paw when their names are used for a treat

[@kikopup]

You can do that, but if you are training lots of double dog behaviors, or you have 7 dogs like me, saying the name takes up time. And also for if something drops on the floor or they are all eating their dinners, this exercise helps- if you see a dog getting a treat its not for you.

[@lisahind9613]

@@kikopup works if people have alot of dogs, maybe suggest using names to your followers? I've had to take the precaution of teaching mine not to eat off the floor, we get lot of slugs and snails in England, that are toxic, as we all know dogs are inquisitive and pick things up during walks. We've also had incidents across the country with some nasty people leaving food in dog walking areas laced with rat poison, nails and razor blades.

[@renam2280]

I don't know if you've already picked a name out for him or not, but here are some name suggestions: Benji Winston Jasper Arrow Bear Sylvester Momentum Zoro Asher Jango You don't have to use any of these of course, but I figured I should give you some suggestions.

[@kikopup]

Thanks no Ive not picked a name yet so its super helpful to have suggestions!
