You are a Godsend. I wish I was closer to have training with my near perfect Fluffball.

pure genius...have been working with our little Scrubs daily.

[@nicholasneyhart396]

Thank you, I have a st bernard and he was the biggest of his litter. My boy is 175 lbs and still growing. That bastard will probably be 225, so I absolutely can't have that behavior.

[@commendatori1]

Yh I got a Caucasian Shepherd who will likely get to 220lbs also.. he's around 180lbs at 16 months already

[@Cait491]

Hello. Thank you for your video. Do you have a video on introducing new dogs to eachother?

[@oiltanker]

i do this with my dog but anytime a family member goes to see him they encourage him to jump up at them. i tell them im training him to not jump at people but they just always say something along the line of "ohhh its fine hes just a puppy" and they never listen to me about it 😮‍💨🙄

[@shereegrundy4495]

Sounds like they don't care about you and your companions' boundaries.

[@cherylhowker1792]

I don’t know if it would help, what we have been teaching, and seems to work- is that if someone asks for a cuddle she will go up on back legs for a cuddle, only when asked. As part of her job as an assistant dog to me, she must be able to do this when I need her to or to interupt a behaviour due to my autism and anxiety issues. It does seem to work but you need to tray this way for no jumping, but if asked for a cuddle/ hug whatever word works for you, then you are training what you want and what you don’t want. This has personally helped us but everyone is different.

[@christinedoerksen7851]

Thank you for teaching this! I love dogs, for the most part but I don't even appreciate small dogs that jump or beg for my attention in intrusive ways and will not listen to the instructions to stop. Most of my dislike for larger dogs comes from intrusive and uncontrolled behavior.

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you. This and my Pablo pulling on leash would make him a perfect dog

[@Emoralis]

I just rescued a shelter dog a couple days ago. A couple times per days she jumps like this. I noticed at least once she was kind of using me to stretch. She has a couple things to correct. She doesn’t understand boundaries and gets in my face and does the same with my other animals. She’s not aggressive at all so far but just super happy to greet every one and isn’t aware how imposing she as a lab mix can seem to cats and a chihuahua.

[@Pinky_Swear]

This jumping is not something I have thought about yet (as future dog owner). Thank you for your advice. "Learned when young is done when old." I have seen Will with German shepherd and Belgian Malinois, but my future dog is going to be a Dutch shepherd. I'm not sure what can be said about those from a behaviour perspective. I have seen Will talk about shepherds and children, how much he likes to train German shepherds because they are eager to train, especially the working line of these kind of dog breeds. I have seen his coworker talk while handling a Belgian Malinois. Awesome dogs, but just not the Dutch shepherd. I hope to see Will work with a Dutch shepherd in a future video. I already admire his work with dogs (and I like to see a Dutch shepherds, they are among the few rare and awesome dog breeds). For now, let his pink dolphin jump to another of your movies. Keep up the good work.

Maybe also share when this doesn't work to curb jumping, what other approaches entail if operant counter conditioning isn't effective or as efficient. Such as insecurity or aggression/dominance.

[@johncspine2787]

They have to couch all this in vague terms because of the positive only cult. We aren’t allowed to simply say “pop the leash on your slip lead or prong collar for a microsecond.” So instead of a simple correction, ppl put up with cookies, treats and praise and years and years of dogs being badly behaved or put down because they were never corrected. Discipline is love.

[@daveswords2112]

Another great video m8. Odd question could you train a dog to walk forward say5 metres and stop under threatening circucu.stances? I'm thinking a rescue dog that looks the part but a people loved as I'm a trainer so lots of people Cheers dude Dave

[@cherylhowker1792]

Thanks will have to try this. Can I ask, will the same idea of interrupting and then getting the dog to sit for the attention work when a dog is pawing/scratching for attention??? Just my girl does this to others- not to me for some reason! Thanks in advance for your time to reply to me

[@joyfulk9services]

When you say "interruption", you mean a correction, yes? Usually positive punishment? And then show them the alternative behaviour you prefer where there is more reinforcement and less aversive. Do you match the interruption with the appropriate pressure that each dog needs? For example, some dogs spacial pressure or a slip lead does absolutely nothing, so swapping to a prong may be more effective. If the jumping stems from insecurity/fear, do you still do the same process & simultaneously build confidence? Or build confidence first?

No joke my friends Aussie cattle dog aims for punches to the balls when she jumps at me. Going on like 20+ times I’ve been nailed in the nads.

[@Suriprofz]

I tried this so many times. You can't stop my boxador when he's in the jumping mood 😂 would like to see real world examples

[@annalinerex9359]

How can I get my dog to walk on one side of me? And not keep changing

[@ltorromcc]

[@skylasjourney]

slip leads are as bad as prong collars

[@gamergirls2039]

Anything is dangerous in the hands of an uneducated handler. Learn to properly use the tools and there danger is eliminated.

[@mwhitcraft]

There is nothing “bad” about a slip collar or a prong collar

[@alisonw5150]

Of all the canine behaviourist/dog trainers around I believe Will Atherton is the most arrogant and ignorant. He is truly the worst.
