Teach Your Dog to Walk Backwards - Robert Cabral Dog Training

[@smule27]

“Have fun with the dog “ key of the video, thank you

[@CR604]

Why is your stay command, Shhtay

[@KC.665]

@@CR604 he is telling him to stand

[@lucamarie3387]

Cliff Cheung it’s „Steh“, German for „stand“. A lot of people teach their dogs German commands. Police often does it so others can’t just command their dogs cause they don’t know the right words. Kinda smart.

[@Delain81]

@@lucamarie3387 True, thats why me, as a german, teach her a lot of english words lol

[@infinitusfinitus]

Goofy always looks so happy to work! I love seeing my puppy grin like that. It doesn't happen often, but we're working on it.

My gsd goes like “Karen leave me alone”

Excellent trainer

[@ABCdogtraining802]

This man has helped me save many dogs!

[@conintava514]

My dog was really struggling and kept turning around to check the space before walking back. I read somewhere that it would help if you move a coffee table close to a couch and position your dog in between, that way this forces them to move back without turning around. This was a super helpful tip! Another adviceI have to expedite the learning once your dog gets the hang of it, is saying the command as a last step before they are free to eat. So the first time my dog fumbled a little until she took one step back I freed her. Then the next time around she got the hang of it and then from there, I increased the distance of her backing up.

[@Growext]

ROBERT!!! Please see this !! I really really think that this format of video using a very experienced dog and then using a less experienced dog to show how the dog should be learning!

[@PinkinPA]

Thank you for this. I was using another method and my pup and I were having a hard time. This video cleared things up and she's on her way to being a moon walker :)

[@trollstall3569]

Robert : I taught him to go back by doing this indoor.. Please let me know what you think.. To begin with : I arranged wooden box by the wall with enough gap between the wall and the box for the dog to pass through one way.. (One can use chairs or any prop at home to make a narrow space by the wall ) Step 1 : I stand at the other end, I lure him to come through it and treat him. Once he is in I repeat this process till he is comfortable to walk through the narrow space. Step 2: Once he is in the spot where I want him, I walk forward towards him in that narrow space which makes him to go no where but backwards.. Continued the process and then added the cue "BACK" He learnt it and does it now in open space too.. Please note : Make sure there is enough space for him to walk back with no hurdles but shouldn't have so much space for him to turn around.. I found this easy compared to doing it in open space as doing it in open space i'll have to worry about dog turning side ways.. Hope this alternate method helps those who cant get it right in open space.... Thanks

[@lucamarie3387]

I did it the same way. I’ll try his way too to perfect it as she doesn’t understand the hand signal quite yet. I only started teaching het yesterday though ☺️

[@theonlinedogtrainerreview5747]

Your dog training videos really show how much of a well trained dog goofy is.

[@ABCdogtraining802]

And he could do this with ANY dog......

[@koolkid6377]

Thx I taught my dog lulu to do this today it was so fun thx for the tutorial YOUR AN AWESOME TRAINER

[@Sasqe]

After watching this I think the most important part is having a close and tight relationship with your dog. It can mean the difference between it taking a week or a month. Having a close and tight connection means your dog knows what it looks like when you're trying to teach them something, so when you're teaching them something new they pick it up super quickly. I'm a new dog owner and have only had my german shepherd for about 7 months, but this is just my take from my experience with her so far. we're on day 2 of walking backwards and she has the hand signal down :)

[@Rkp-uy2ue]

Glad to hear your gaining recognition for you amazing videos. Which video is taking the world by storm?

[@bobbeyette3227]

Lol, I love seeing goofy going back it's awesome. Pups doing great also, thank you so much for doing these super videos Robert. Would be lost without ur help with my Mal. Keep em coming please.

[@janaeb2455]

I’m so excited to teach this to my Shepherd 🤩

[@Taxesuck]

Same to meh German Shepherd puppy 😎😎

[@ananass8030]

i like you showed how it supposed to look like with a trained dog and how an untrained dog will (could?) react to being taught that for the first time

[@1Coinpapi]

Extremely happy I found your channel, been subbed a week and already learned so much and have changed my relationship with my dogs

[@ABCdogtraining802]

Thank you for taking your dog owning serious!! Be well!!

[@lilbudgies894]

watch the video again and come back. Great tip! this is a tricky one (for the handler) :)

[@Bahailinda1]

I shaped that behavior by putting two of my couches away from the wall so that my dog had no turnaround area. Then I would do what you're doing over and over again to shape the behavior! With my service dog this was really critical because there are many times when we are in stores that I need her to back up and go behind something to get out of the way of other people Etc. I found this Behavior to be actually very easy to teach.

[@poetreesun]

Thanks for the tip. Created a hallway with couches so she couldnt turn around like you did and it was the difference maker!

[@josedias2585]

Sir, idk who you are but your great. I get frustrated with my pup, sometimes I just give up. You give me a good reminder that it is just a pup and to have fun with the pup and take it slower.

[@KC.665]

Doesn't take his eyes off you what a good boy

[@hungerlovesfood]

Thank you! Love the emphasis on just having fun and enjoying your dog 🐾

[@lynnabraham7057]

Thank you so much. I have been trying to teach my dog to this without knowing how. I asked the question before I found this video.

[@elitepilatesyogateachertra6401]

This was so helpful as my dog keep lying down! THANK YOU!!!

[@joebyrd9141]

It's important for protection dogs

[@Reytheexplorer]

Thank you sir big help for my German Shepherd

[@earlek7297]

Outstanding video on training dog to walk backwards. Thank you!

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

I teach this the same way and I like to teach tricks to build muscle but also to make the dog aware of all its body. Thanks Robert : )

[@lhotteilao8719]

Thank you for always sharing...the balance of fun and learning is on point...we also named our BM after your dog Goofy.

[@advent35]

I've been working for about a month on this with my dog. The first time it came into real use was yesterday at Cracker Barrel on Mother's Day. If you've ever been to one it's a circus show getting in and out through the Menagerie of crap they have for sale. We had to go down one aisle and be blocked by people and back up and try another one. There's not enough room to turn around. Thank you Robert for your tips and tricks my 10 month old Rottweiler service dog received several compliments on the way out on his good behavior.

[@thanomwongpoorisat8227]

You and your dogs are amazing. I love it when you explained it from the dog's perspective. I have tried many of your techniques and they worked like wonders. I especially love the come command exercises and how you made it so fun. I have tried that with my 3+ months old lab and he loved it. I am now trying the more advanced command, the back command, but got a little stuck. He always sit instead of walking backwards when I walk towards him. Could you help give me additional tips of how else I could get him to walk backwards?

[@ABCdogtraining802]

My dog did this as well for the first couple days....hold some treats a little lower so the dog cant sit right down.....reward with just 1 step back (do this 4 or 5 times in a row)...THEN...name it!......say back..move slow with fist toward dog with treat in closed hand, if goes back, step back yourself, yes and reward, play like hell!

[@Abundanthealthcoach]

This is great straightforward video-looking forward to the sequel-Crawling Backwards

[@termitedog]

Robert your an amazing trainer. Thank you for your help

This is the best video tutorial thank u so much.. i do the same command and train.. now my dog knows how to walk backwards

[@owainlyons4554]

Good video. been waiting for a decent video on teaching to walk backwards

[@susanneconway]

Thanks. Hope to see you teach them walking backwards at heel too.

[@LawEnforcementTodaycom]

Another winning video, thanks!

[@zeerie7521]

Thanks for the video and advice. This video is what I needed more fun and less corrections, that will come later.

[@evaninnewport]

Rob you are the man. Your insights are SO good. Simple but profound. Thank you and thank you for loving dogs

[@vickiwang9025]

Great help! I was struggling with “back” with my puppy as she always sits back instead of stepping back. This video cleared out lots of mistakes I made, including the hand position, the reward feeding at release and the puppy neck angle. I dont need a bench and a wall to hold my puppy in position anymore and now I can tap her nose to tell her back!

[@JS_11]

tnx u sir❤️ for guiding newbies like me

[@raypiercy8344]

Been teaching this for a wile now but my dog barks in frustration because I am asking him to back away from the treat. Also he will only back up as far as I can throw the treat. I must be doing something wrong maybe you could do another video on how to gain distance. Excellent channel been following you for quite a while now and my dog is doing great. Thanks so much.

[@JapaOsaka]

How beautiful!!!

[@homepettv8226]

Amazing! Hope could teach my dog even the heel thing :(

[@Starcha007]

As usual, amazing video. I have to try that with my German Shepherd Delta.

[@hannaho888]

The best trainer ever!

[@nickrichard6775]

I really enjoy your videos and your techniques on training. What type of treats do you recommend?

[@durgaprasadpati3390]

Ty for uploading this one....Love from India 😍

[@DougHinVA]

I taught my dog 'back' by pressing forward toward him and named the command when he backed up. Now I stop and say 'back' if he begins to forge ahead during heel.And he does it, then I say 'heel' when he is in position.

[@michaelamostkova7375]

Off to the park to try! Amazing stuff. Might be a little challenging as my dog is not treat motivated outside but we can always start indoors 😊

[@NotMister]

LOve your dog's name and I like how you respect the dog. I want to teach our dog tricks and also to distract his naughty behavior.

Congratulations

[@mkschreder]

Very interested in how you would teach a dog not to chase a cat. Can you do a video on the subject? This can be any animal that tends to run away like a cat, rabbit, deer etc.

[@activedogzz100]

So fun

[@sdthescoon2725]

I will practice this this weekend. Thanks

[@kuntalbose3827]

Thank you !

I want to teach this exercise in motion like for french ring. How can I do that

[@2tallB]

I'll have to work on this because my dog is trained to sit when I have a treat or his food in my hand.

[@marcochannel1694]

Very very nice impressive

[@paulmazzei1109]

Any suggestion for a dog that takes 2 steps back and then sits? ive tried a few different methods including this one and thats the problem im having. Hell let me walk in to him instead of him keep moving back.

[@JapaOsaka]

Very good

[@Kaby629]

Thanks for this can't wait to try it with my dog.

[@NATURESHOWS]

Thanks sir, will train my malinois now 😉

Very nice! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jameskelly3203]

Good morning sir. I have a 5 month old Cane Corso that is perfect with his commands such as: come sit stay lay and leave it. But if I take the leach off he almost acts like I have thought him nothing. Could give me some ideals are advise.? Thank you.

[@kerrygullen8157]

How do you got from that to just hand signal and command? Is it just a case of repetition?

wie immer top video!

[@batumitu1826]

Wonderful training sir

[@FrankRollberg]

Brilliant!

[@brianstromatos5054]

Would like to know how long it took to teach the shepherd and what age he was started. I'm trying with ours but he's very headstrong and young (6 months 1 week) I have tought him several other commands but need to expand our repertoire. Many thanks

[@kuntalbose3827]

Very nice tips sir. Thank you

[@spacecoastdogtrainer3778]

This is the same way teach the dog to walk backwards. This is actually fairly easy for most dogs, just be patient. Usually one of the easiest/fun behaviors to teach!!

[@ABCdogtraining802]

"fairly easy..just be patient"....hahahaah. Yeah hes great at football just be patient...for a year or 5! Just kidding with you. Walking backwards is not natural....but....it is taught and shaped like any other behavior/command. In my experience, training this command is the hardest....not saying too hard but the hardest of the 10 commands I train before releasing a dog back to its handler.

[@thalassophile1665]

My 12 month old lab did exactly what Duane did and sat as soon as I approached him. Is there a follow up to this video?

[@JK-pp2xl]

Having a lot of trouble with this. As long as he is eating its all good - he backs up. But once I try to take the food away, after 2-3 successful attempts he just lays down in frustration and won't back up - he just totally ignores the treat, too. I'm not sure why I can't progress. I keep going back to stage one. Seems like I am teaching him that he only needs to back up when he is being fed.

[@yvetteglover2647]

Such a smart puppy!!!

[@marieke6687]

Can you do a video on how to teach a pivot? We’re working on rear end awareness but I can’t seem to get to pivot into heel position

[@Emma-xn6cr]

Thanks! Good video, very clear!
