[@whenhoundsflyonline]

The reason why I am staring so intently at the dog is because I want the timing of my click to be as close to the actual bark as possible. If I waited to hear the bark, and then click, I would be late. Therefore, I am actually clicking when I see the physical precursors to the bark. For Elaine that is a lip curl. When I saw the lip curl, I clicked, and that made the click much closer to the timing of the bark that followed.

[@Bugladee]

I had a yappy dog that now barks on cue. Dog owners should teach their dog when it is ok to bark, not only for the sake of human sanity but respect for others. This was an excellent source of help.

Great explanation of how to train bark/quiet. I've done this with other dogs in the past and am working on it with my Aussie Shepherd. She learns rediculously fast but can be a little stubborn, lol. I work with her everyday at the same time and she comes and tells me when it is time to practice! She definitely has her favorite tricks (high 5 and double high 5) and lets me know when she doesn't want to do a particular trick anymore by looking at me like, "I got this one, can we move on?"

A couple years ago I lived in an area with a Used Car Dealership. Every night as I went to 7-11 a couple dogs in that Dealership would bark at me to warn me off. I often praised them for a job well done. But on some nights, I would give them slices of beef jerky and as time went on,. They stopped barking at me. But I would still give them beef jerky.

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

The video was shot in one setting - about 30 minutes including breaks for the dog. Elaine is not our dog - just a client's, so it would take more practice sessions at home every day for a week or two to really strengthen the behavior.

[@perrodehont5109]

I did this years ago with my old dog and my current dog knows when to bark and when to keep quiet also . the only difference is I never use a clicker and treats teaching certain things and this is one of them.

[@HPRgirl]

Brilliant demo...exactly how I train it...so impressed and thanks for the video x

[@zone07]

Am I the only one that didn't see the quiet technique work? He knocked, dog barked, he said "shhh" gave treat. Same as earlier, He knocked, dog barked, dog was quiet, he gave treat. How does the dog know that "shh" is quiet? An example would have been, say "shhh", knock, treat dog if he doesn't bark. I understand the "explanation" of training for quiet but this example of quiet was useless.

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

My reply to iforce2d is relevant to your comment as well: 5:45 is about classically conditioning the dog to expect good things to happen after the quiet signal. Technically I could have just skipped the knocking and just threw up the quiet signal and thrown a treat out. Classical conditioning does not involve specific behaviours. Ring bell, feed dog. Ring bell, drool. Quiet sign, feed dog. Quiet sign, feed dog. Quiet sign - dog stops barking, starts salivating and expecting food rewards. Hope that makes sense.

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

When your dog barks quickly after you make your Bark cue, and quiets quickly after you make your quiet cue, the training is pretty much done. Then just do brush up sessions randomly to maintain it over time.

Thank you so much! He doesn't tend to bark for attention. But he does have fear aggression towards other dogs, at least when he's on leash. We are currently working with him on that and he is showing improvment using lots of treats to lead him away from other dogs while we're on walks. He can't bark and lunge while he's walking away and eating. :)

Great question. Elaine has always been a bit cautious around strangers, even though she was rescued as an 11 week old puppy and even attended our puppy socialization class. When the video was shot I had not seen her for three or four months since puppy class ended.

[@Winnipegaussies]

Thanks for sharing such detailed information!

[@LauraDeMudkip]

i am actualy impressed with someone who uses a dogfriendly training method in 2012, considering that people nowadays still ''train'' dogs with chains and electric collars... i think this video is a good example of how to learn to controll your dogs barking in a friendly way. staring aside, i readed the motives in the comments, and even if the dog is unsure a couple of times, its fine most of the time. lets not even start about shit on ''how you give a treat'' the dog gets rewarded for desired behaviour, as if the dog cares if he eats rewards from your hand or off the floor..... i myself dont use a clicker, but i tought this video was helpful because i have a dog that doesnt nesesarily barks a lot but he does LOVE to bark and is really enthusiastic so sometimes he goes on for a little to long, and this sure gave me some good ideas on how to controle my dogs barking better. Thankyou~

[@valm842]

This was lovely put. We'll attempt this starting today. We've picked up a rescue GSD as our second dog in the house, but he has severe difficulties with knocks and the door bell. Luckily he is treat oriented and even though we've attempted to help him thus far, this video makes the break down so much easier to understand. Thanks for that. x

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

***** great question regarding 1:04 vs 5:45. The focus of 1:04 was to get the bark behaviour offered. 5:45 is about classically conditioning the dog to expect good things to happen after the quiet signal. Technically I could have just skipped the knocking and just threw up the quiet signal and thrown a treat out. Classical conditioning does not involve specific behaviours. Ring bell, feed dog. Ring bell, drool. Quiet sign, feed dog. Quiet sign, feed dog. Quiet sign - dog stops barking, starts salivating and expecting food rewards. Hope that makes sense.

[@jobaerhossain1794]

Treatpouch.com What a idea...like just nice idea, love this..It is a use full thing..............

[@MichaelRicksAherne]

Treatpouch.com So, if the classical conditioning just interupts the behaviour for an expected treat, can a single cue be used for everything? Example: Cuing "Drop it" like this guy does: /watch?v=ndTiVOCNY4M The dog basically stops whatever it's doing when it hears "drop." So can that be used for both dropping something and to stop barking? Or is it better to train different commands for these things? Hope the question makes sense. Great timing with the clicker btw.

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

Michael Ricks-Aherne You could technically do that, however, I think with a Drop cue, eventually you would want to make reinforcement contingent upon the dog actually letting go of the thing. So in the end, Drop cue means "open your mouth", and then reinforcement occurs. Quiet ultimately is the cue for stop barking/close your mouth. So I would probably train Quiet and Drop separately. Even though initially they are taught in a similar fashion. Hope that helps.

[@cristanapoul5871]

Yes, demand barking is a good type of barking to apply this training to.

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

For this little video tutorial, we did it in one session. However, it would require additional sessions for days/weeks to follow to really develop fluency for the behaviour. Unfortunately, Elaine is not our dog, so we were unable to train beyond this single session.

Very informative, and detailed. I enjoy how this video actually shows progress, and teaches in a more scientific manner than other videos. I feel this video will be much easier to incorporate into my training because of this. Thank you for making this video.

[@amiliecai7909]

Hi! I want to say that if this is the first trick you are teaching your dog it will take a lot longer to learn because your dog will need to learn "reinforcement training" while also learning the bark/quiet trick. However, if you've successfully taught other tricks to your dog before it might just mean more sessions and shorter sessions because you always want their full attention. Also, try to train in an isolated room or space so that there aren't any distractions (aka other reinforcements) other than you. Lastly, your dog might respond to audio demands better such as saying the word "bark" and "quiet." I hope this helped, best of luck!

[@akyiaamillion1032]

I still watch this because my maltese bark all the time

[@mkschreder]

Ha! Precisely the strategy I have been using with just about every behavior. My reasoning for teaching behavior first has always been that I can then induce it and teach the opposite behavior. This is great.

[@lindawarren482]

My four month old mixed breed has been in training for six weeks. He picks up all the commands very quickly, except he is an incessant barker. I tried this technique and it worked within minutes. I have not used my clicker very much, so I loaded it [loading it means giving the dog a treat and clicking it each time for about 10 times so the dog knows a click means a treat] Then I couldn't get him to bark until I played KZbin videos of other dogs aggressively barking. This worked within 5 minutes! After 10 times of having him bark on cue, I went to the hand signals and he instinctively knew what to do. I'm working on using the quiet cue, but his barking has gone from constant to none. Risky already knows that he only gets a treat when i cue him to bark with the hand signal. Very good technique. Once he picks up a good behavior, he does it every time, unless he is severely distracted. Still, he is only four months old. He is going to be trained to pull a cart [with a seat for me], and I can't have him constantly barking at everyone and everything, and the 'leave-it' command doesn't always work to stop his barking at people and dogs. Thank you treat.pouch!

[@aivykhatun7214]

Do you like fast results? Well then this is the perfect training for your dog.

[@lottie141516]

What do you mean “permissions to bark is the que for quite?” I watched the whole video

[@dennycrane2938]

Dogs don't know what a bark is, they just do it, so you can't exactly tell them to stop barking because they have no idea what you mean. So you have to teach it what barking means. By first making the association to the bark by rewarding them for barking on cue, you then establish control over that action; now they know what you're talking about. So then when you tell them to bark and then immediately follow up with SHUSH, you're teaching them that you are responding to their bark and when they stop barking after you say shush, then they get paid. Now they know that if you shush their bark, they need to be quiet. The reason that he says shush and then rewards the dog so quickly after he stops barking (that people in this thread don't seem to be understanding) is that if you wait too long, the dog will get confused because he's like "hey you literally just TOLD me to bark but now you're not rewarding me wtf?" So what he's doing is saying Bark! "woof" "ok stop" and then as soon as the dog stops, you notice that the dog is deadlocked on the trainer's face like waiting for the next thing to happen (i.e. he's not barking) and then gets rewarded. Over time, the dog starts to get the pattern that when you say "quiet" that it means to stop barking. It seems counter-intuitive to some people on this thread because they're thinking that that would be confusing, but dogs don't learn like we learn. They're instinctual, not logical. We train dogs by conditioning through patterns of stimulus->dog response->trainer response (reward or no reward). So then what happens is the dog ends up on auto-pilot. He's not being quiet because he knows what quiet means. He's being quiet because he's been conditioned to stop making noise when he receives a certain cue (vocal or otherwise). This technique of paired cues is basically creating a path to making tricky associations. You sometimes have to associate one thing to another to another to another in order to get to the action you want to control. So here, we associate the knock to the bark to the cue to bark to the cue to not bark, and that's how we control the action of not barking.

[@dennycrane2938]

You just have to find their trigger. For many dogs, a knock or a doorbell will work. If not, then you gotta keep looking for it. I trained my friends dog and he didn't care about knocks either. I had to bark at the dog to get him to bark and that was the thread to pull on. I felt ridiculous, but that's what had to be done.

[@davidmaione2742]

I don't use a clicker like you do... I just say "good girl" and praise her a lot and give her treats... Is this ok?

[@jilliansmith7123]

Maloney: of course it's okay. You can also click your tongue. And remember to go easy on the rewards. If you overload her, it can have a troubling effect not to mention overstuff her and make her less ready to accept a more subdued reward. Butyou sound like a great owner. Lucky dog!

[@dennycrane2938]

The clicker is just a consistent sound that the dog can associate with a "correct answer". Some trainers just say "OK!" emphatically or "Good Boy" or click their tongue. Everything about training is just about cues of some sort as a language barrier gap to create a binary connection between what you want and what you don't want. That said, reward and praise are two different things and with training, you shouldn't give praise for every correct action. If you do a little research, you'll find that the best dog trainers have a method for separating the two types of reinforcement based on the action being performed.

[@mkschreder]

Clicker is faster and you can click at exact moment when good behavior is done. Good girl is more of a reinforcer than a reward. With clicker the dog learns that click means food is coming and so it becomes an instant reward.

[@Ange3333]

A dog LOVES praise and that affirmation they did good. When they do what we want "quiet!" from barking, using "no" when u catch a bad behavior b4 it happens or "give" when they drop a toy for us , a pat or rub on the chest with a happy praise of "good girl/boy" works just as well as a treat. You can add treats into this later on when the dog does what we want, hears the command, does it, gets the "good girl/boy" and then their treat. Alternate ur praise and treats so they don't know what type of positive reinforcement they'll receive but will listen to the command for that reward.

[@proofprof50]

+Jossy Smith Does your dog ever bark? If he or she does, that's when you cue the dog. I used a doorbell.

[@joandsarah77]

Umami Mimami Yes, some new people moved next door with a dog and now she barks at their dog! I wish she didn't. But she is down the back yard when she does that. Since we kept one puppy from her litter we have bigger issues, such as how to stop her (puppy) peeing on the carpet, we are keeping them both outside quite a lot more now.

[@proofprof50]

Jossy Smith The only way to housetrain a puppy, in my humble opinion, is to take them out constantly. My puppy was very good after the first week because I took him out many times a day. Keeping them outside won't stop the peeing because they may associate the opposite (going outside to inside) as when they need to pee. My puppy also barks sometimes when dogs in the neighborhood bark, but that's common.

[@joandsarah77]

Umami Mimami Well we are keeping them mostly outside now, inside they just want to tear around and play together anyway. I only let them stay inside for a short time before taking them both back out. When winter comes we might bring them inside overnight in the other bathroom. Not that we get cold by other countries standards. How cold does it have to be to bother a dog?

[@luna-xl1xx]

when I'm knocking and my dog sees it, she doesn't bark, she knows it's me. it looks so silly to first teach a dog to bark and than shush, is it not better to teach shush when the dog is barking on his own, and than when it's quit to give him a reward?

that means that your dog is demanding of you which is good because it shows your in charge. the only suggestion i have is to restrain him just so he cant move in his chest and neck but make sure not to hurt him but do it till he stops and after this practice go outside see if he barks and repeat the sequence tell me if this helped

[@grizzlee358]

yes it sounds like separation anxiety, It will require counter conditioning and desensitization to your departures. It's got nothing to do with who's in charge.

Since he started by knocking on the wall and that caused a bark and then a treat, the dog is now expecting a bark to lead to a treat. Since he's not knocking anymore, but just staring, the dog gets frustrated and goes back to a bark to get the treat, which is what you want because you're trying to make an association to the bark. All he's doing is gradually teaching the dog that this session is about the bark (not the knock) by first triggering the bark (the dog just barks at the knock, he doesn't know why, he just does) and then controlling the bark by slowly changing the cue. Now that he can cue the bark without the aid of the wall, he can control the association to the bark by a hand gesture which allows him to move on to signaling quiet. The entire point is to gain control of the cue so that future associations can be made. The staring is just a middle point where he's changing the cue. It's not something that continues.

Thanks for the tutorial :) This will help my dog getting a grip of himself.

[@PamelaRachil]

Thank you for this training video. I am going to start using this right away! I adopted a rescue dog that is easily excitable and he barks at every little noise! Now, my "good" dog who I've had for a year is copying him and starting to bark at everything too and he never did that before. You're absolutely correct that this problem can put even a patient owner (like myself) over the edge. I will let you know how we do! Thank you!

This is really awkward to watch because when you're staring your dog down like that its clearly making it nervous. There were a couple of instances where he barked and ran away with his tail down. Then came back quickly for more treats...you're sending mixed signals. You already created a cue the step before you added the cue. Your cue was when you stare your dog down hes supposed to bark. Not a good idea. Then you switched the cue... Also it seems that the dog could confuse the knocking with a barking cue the way you are training the quiet cue. You're treating after he barks at the noise even though you're making the quiet cue. I would like to see a demonstration of a dog who knows this really well. Im not so convinced

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

***** I'm staring because I need to watch very closely for the physical signs that Elaine is going to bark, so that I can time the click when she actually barks. If it makes you feel better you can do it via video camera or put sunglasses on if you wish.

[@MsBrehay]

Treatpouch.com so you do not see the signs of nervousness in this dog? Or do you think they're irrelevant? It seems unnecessary the intense eye contact you're giving the dog who doesn't even know you

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

Next time I make a new version, I'll wear sunglasses. Thank you have a great day.

[@GoZuHaZa]

***** i think you`r right, it looks unsure. so jumpy 4:21

[@MsBrehay]

GoZuHaZa yeah I think it's best for a dog to be comfortable before you begin training tricks. If the dog is unsure. Not a good idea to move forward

[@Thatonemichaelyoutuber]

ha was barking all the time.. I never seen clear footage where you showed him shhh and dog actually listened..

[@msdlr]

hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to learn about guide for puppy training try Jaffacter Simple Dog Coach (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.

[@victoristratevmi]

He barked . Then stopped at the sign . He didn't continue barking .that was the trick

[@dennycrane2938]

That was the dog trying to figure out the cues. This is a dog being trained, not a dog that's already trained...

[@Neomax25]

Excellent video, I will be trying this later.

[@selah117]

You are still rewarding the bad behavior when he barks when you want him to be quiet. I guess I'm not understanding or seeing how this helps him be quiet.

[@dennycrane2938]

lol you're not getting it. He's not training bad behavior, he's gaining control of the cue! By rewarding the dog when he barks, you're associating the bark to a reward -- now he knows it's about the bark. Then you gradually change the cue and only reward when he barks on command. That alone will make most dogs bark less on their own because they're not be paid to bark unless you tell them to. From that point on, you can now make them bark and then signal a quiet and then only reward when they're quiet. You couldn't do that if they didn't know it was about the bark to begin with. So then you have taught them when to bark and when when to stop barking. It's not really that complicated.

Wow! You are an amazing dog trainer!

[@suegilsdorf1108]

Great demo!

[@ashleighleece2367]

This is fantastic!

[@petographyireland101]

Great idea, will definitely will try it

[@JBHollingsworth]

Excellent!

[@godandantess07]

I'd add a word of praise with the treats and try not to stare the dog down(sign of dominance), so the dog has fun while learning!

[@sharilynn3024]

Excellent video!!

[@Varsuvias]

Thank you for the reply, I'll check it out!

[@whenhoundsflyonline]

Check out our intro video Introduction to Dog Training / Clicker Training to learn more about clicker training. To answer your questions, feeding on the floor can send the dog away to buy some more time to setup for the next repetition. Next, any treats that the dog finds motivating to work for is all you need. I like using food rolls like Red Barn, Natural Balance, Rollover.

[@jameswarren1728]

Thanks it’s much needed for us. We do need our dog to be a guarding dog but not barking at ppl who are no threat to me so this video is great.
