Finally... Somebody actually demonstrating what a leash-correction is. If only all of the militant positive-only people could know that this is all that is meant by a little bit of help with correction and if only the abusive creeps out there who just resort to a major unpleasant correction could see and understand this. (There are a lot of psychological issues out there...) I'm a relationship-based trainer where I base everything on making training fun and positive for the dog and the person - making it exciting and interesting which builds the bond and then proof some things with this little slight type of correction. If we could only have sane balance in this world...🙄 Thank you for your lovely demonstration here and for your kindness 😊

[@andrewgremlich]

Out of all the dog trainers on youtube that I've seen so far, I'm appreciative of Will's advice the most. It sounds whole and complete, and he constantly reminds of the goal of being a loving leader to our own dogs. I also didn't understanding this operant conditioning completely. Once a bad behavior was done, I would leave my dog entirely. Later I did realize that I would actually need to teach my dog the behavior that I wanted and repeat. Leaving entirely just have outright confused my dog!

[@RealFalkirkfan]

God we are also having the issue of meeting folk who want to fuss our newly adopted dog. It makes training her to prioritise us when we're out difficult and we dven bought her a little "Do not approach" bandana but that actually seemed to attract people more than anything else. Hugely frustrating!

[@hayleywright2966]

This is the exact way my dad trained me to work with pups! It’s been infallible so far!

[@adriancoleman1120]

Best explanation I've watched/read about correction/redirection/reward. Thank you

[@pheoticprivate]

I really appreciate you calling positive punishment for what it is, and not trying to sugarcoat it by giving it a different name; correction, redirection, distraction is just a few of the terms I've heard used instead. I try to be as much R+ as I can (partially because I'm introverted and don't like pressure and punishment myself as a person), but I'm not a fanatic about it. I wish people would realise that positive punishment is not abuse. It does not mean that you have to smack your dog. Even a simple "ah-ah" is, by definition, a positive punishment, and loads of people use that on a daily basis. R+ only trainers need to get their feet back on the ground.

Thank you for helping us dog people with You Tube. I prefer your style , confidence, and explanations.

[@cassieoz1702]

Thank you for your use of the term 'positive punishment' an not (incorrectly) negative reinforcement

[@andersonzuinsalustiano6238]

Positive punishment, puzzled me! I think they don't fit together.....it's just punishment.....

[@jimdefazio2802]

@@andersonzuinsalustiano6238 Another way to frame it would be positive consequences. That's a more neutral word. A correction need not be harsh or harmful. Dogs do it to each other all the time. "Positive" here means ADDING something to the process, as opposed to removing something. You're "adding" the correction. The words positive and negative with respect to conditioning are NOT value or judgment laden, they also are neutral terms.

My dog, a two year old labrador mix only jumps when we come in the house to get a little excited and you know what to tell her to not jump. She has since stopped since we got her, a year ago, but does it ever now and again. I tried to stop her from jumping by just crouching in petting her at her level and that way she doesn’t get in trouble or knock anybody over

[@Jallenbah]

Our 9 month old staffy understands that she shouldn't jump up and goes into a sit whilst staring intently at the person, but you can see the excitement boiling over. She sits there wagging so hard and literally shaking with excitement to jump up and say hello to the person and reaches the point where she cannot control herself. The biggest difficulty with her is not training her on what to do / not to do, but for her to have the self control to do it without being harsh and extremely frequent in corrections. Even her favourite food is not enough to distract her from the excitement of jumping up and saying hello, and a leash pop will get her to behave for about 10 seconds before her excitement builds so much that she loses self control again, and again, and again. I think at her age and with her excitement, there is a real need for her to have some more months of growing up before she has the ability to contain her excitement and control herself. The alternative is going harsher with the corrections and I think that would damage our relationship. I think what I've learned as she's grown is that if you are consistent then even if you don't see results immediately, when you are consistent over weeks and months, some behaviours do start to solve, but it has taken months for a few things. Going harsher with the corrections would be too far and Rome wasn't built in a day.

[@seb5595]

My staffy is 2y old and perfectly train but does the same… although not jumping on us because he knows better by now but on stranger approaching him with positive attitude forget it he’s all over them

[@toxie2542]

Another thing that is not talked about in this video might help you a bit, it is the fact that you make sure that everyone she jumps up on ignores her and turns around until her paws are on the floor. When she is standing on the floor you can give her the attention and all the hellos and let her be exited but as soon as she jumps up again you just turn around. Doing that I've never had to do a leash correction and it might take a slightly bit longer for the dog to learn but no chance of damaging the connection between you!

[@seb5595]

@@toxie2542 I mean yea, the problem is mostly the people to be honest.... coming at my dog full of excitement and loud like "Oooooooooh you're a nice dog aren't you oooooooh" and then watch my staffy going mad hahaha

[@Jallenbah]

@@seb5595 Yeah I experience the same and it feels bad telling them that they can't say hello to her because I need her to learn that she can't go ballistic every time a person approaches her, but it's got to be done most of the time. Annoyingly as well when I say she needs to be calm before they can say hello, they will often look her straight in the eyes and with their most high-pitched exciting puppy voice start going "calm down! calm down!" as if that's gonna make her calm down. You're riling her up! You can tell the experienced dog people a mile off from the inexperienced "ooooh puppy!!!" types. It's not their fault as they don't know any better and they're only being nice, but god it's tiring.

[@seb5595]

@@Jallenbah I relate 100%!!!! Happens all the time! Part of me is like « well ok at least my dog is super social and it’s helping pushing back a stigma on these dogs » but the other part is like « damn I had a long day and this is annoying » hahaha

Thanks Will. Good points here!

2nd !!! Thank you. I'm working on this. ❤🇨🇦😊☕☕

[@Stu81]

I have this issue with my 5 month old staffy, but I know the issue is from people rewarding her for it by giving her attention (reaching to stroke her when she jumps up at them) and for non dog owners I don't blame them for it and most of the time she is on the leash when meeting non dog owners but when at the park and we meet other dog walkers/owners I feel like they should know better then to reward it, when ever a dog jumps up at me I ignore them untill they either go into a sit or calm down. I would like to see a leaflet placed in all pet shops and vets with some general etiquette when meeting other people's dogs, like not giving attention when being jumped up at or if a dog runs over to you and it's owner is trying to call them back to not give the dog any attention, which is a situation I find myself in with Evie, there's no way she will come back to me when she is on her back getting her belly rubbed, and I don't understand why these other dog owners don't realise they should stop giving your dog attention when they can clearly hear you calling them!

[@lisaduehr5306]

[@Musingsofamother]

I have two German shepherds that jump. One learned the behavior from the other. Would it be best to separate them when visitors come and do this one dog at a time?

What age is ok to use a slip lead? My puppy is 4 months old, a cockerpoo

[@elaynaterrell3576]

My mentor breeds border collies and that's one of the biggest rules all four on the floor. I have to teach my dads dog but hes a 4 year old cattle dog mix who gets free reign. His behaviors dont get corrected at all. My dad tried to say that I needed a treat to get him to stay in the kennel. I didn't and when he asked why. I do this every day at work so it's nothing for me to get him to listen. He also nips but that's because they didnt correct it when he was little. Not to mention the cattle dog herding drive. He bit my daughter last time we were visiting and myself. My dad was one of those people who got the dog and didnt understand what they were getting. He also doesn't know how to train. Gonna be a lot of work next time I go to visit.

[@kimberleymarkova3641]

My angel is a Dogo Argentino cross. She is a massively’intelligent and affectionate and crafty and loving lil Teddy Bear. Her adoptive Mummy is a Boxer cross who is divinely funny and sweet and highly emotional/sensitive and affectionate and playful. They are inseparable which means dog walking with T-34 pullers on the lead has to be prepared for mentally each time, bit like a weight lifter! I love your Puppy and Eileen, I would have chosen them too 😍💖💖❤

[@dboyer1984]

So one thing I'm not seeing in any video is the situation I am in. Any suggestions woukd be GREATLY appreciated: I am dog sitting 2 boxers, the problem dog is 10-11 months old, the other one is fine. Neither dog wears a collar (not sure if that's worth mentioning). When I get there, both owners are at work and the dogs have been home alone for about 3-5 hours. So literally the moment I start to unlock the door, this dog is jumping at the door. Once I open the door, she is out of this world hyper and will jump at me instantly. If I turn around, she will jump on my back. I say this because I've been told to 'ignore' a dog that's jumping at me but this dog doesn't care, she still jumps. Again, any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

[@tompatchak8706]

My daughter has a dog at her moms house. Huskie/Aussie mix. She’s a good 60 pounds huge of take that loves to jump. So much so that she knocks over lamps and younger children. I told her that jumping is not a good behavior and that you should train your puppy to be out of it. My daughter than says “she’s a puppy and she’s excited”. I tell her then “

[@tompatchak8706]

The best time to get the training in her head is when the dog is a puppy so they don’t do it as an 80 pound or 90 pound adult dog.

[@ko300zx]

Hey brother. Where are you located? I have an extra coffee.

[@kimba5978]

Maybe someone has a suggestion for my 9 month old male Rottweiler that’s 120 pounds. He is a sweetheart and he wants to see other dogs and he is fine at first. But then he just wants to play and go nuts. He just jumps on there backs and I’m afraid his size alone will hurt another dog so of course I don’t let him. I have a berm sprenger and that doesn’t faze him at this level of excitement. The halti works best only because I have a little more control but he still will try to jump on the other dog. I have tried everything I can think of. Maybe I’m expecting to much from him at 9 months . It would be nice if there was a larger dog but there’s not. Any suggestions would be great. At least he doesn’t jump on people now lol

[@robin212212]

Use a bonker (a rolled up soft towel or a little pillow); before he is about to jump, say NO and throw the pillow at him. After 2 or 3 tries, he will not be jumping. You can fix this in 5 minutes or do it the long way which will take days or weeks. He needs to learn that the word NO means to stop what he is about to do or else a strange thing will come flying at him (he will not associate the object as coming from you.)

[@belchbat9955]

My gfs dad got a cane corso she’s super cute but is not a 60lb cannonball she wouldn’t hurt a fly intentionally but could accidentally hurt an elephant 😂

[@samitorki936]

Operate Conditioning training is marking random behaviours offered by the dog. Like clicker training. Then positive reinforcement training allows luring and shaping (clues to behaviour we want). Then corrections come under compulsion training (backing up your commands). Mix them together and you have a balanced trainer :)

I think when it comes to jumping i think it would be harder to train the family that jumping is not acceptable, not desirable. So I'm gonna be in your area next year. Perhaps I could take your family out for coffee.

[@canineassist7146]

All I can say is I've taught 1000's of dogs not to jump up WITHOUT the need to use any corrections at all... No Punishment is "Loving leadership" that's just clever marketing blurb ... and if I can do it without any corrections then surely any truly experienced trainer would be able too ...

[@bootress635]

Fabulous, have you got a video for sharing that articulates your method . Thanks in advance . Thank you too Will , you certainly convey a clear methodology that gives a complete novice like me a pathway to follow .

[@canineassist7146]

@bootress635 Yes, loads on my page :) look at the lilo video in particular, who was a massive jumper. The clue is in our titles "trainer"

[@canineassist7146]

@bootress635 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpizfIWDmJicmbM .. never understand why people choose to punish an animal that has little choice in our world and doesn't speak our language... this description of operant conditioning is slightly off as BF Skinner and Thorndike (the "founders" speak differently about it (I.e. nature vs forced) ... I've read every bit of work skinner produced .. would it be loving leadership if while training a child the 4 times table they got slapped for getting it wrong... simply no !!

[@canineassist7146]

@bootress635 I'm also not a fan of deliberately setting the dog up.to fail to then apply a "correction," its just unkind and mean... set the dog up to succeed ... that's loving leadership.

[@jimdefazio2802]

Understand but then, how do you consider the corrections that dogs give each other all the time, as part of communication? I would love, seriously, to buy into 100%, all the time, ONLY wait for good behavior and reward, but I need convincing. Dogs DO exhibit unacceptable behaviors, which can't 100% of the time be redirected or certainly ignored. I think it's possible to be say 90-100% "positive." And nothing cruel or inhumane about the 10% correction, as long as it's proportionate.

It’s actually not accurate either, kind of makes sense but his explanation of operate Conditioning is all wrong. Good trainer though.
