The KEY To TRAINING YOUR DOG!

[@alyssawinegar]

I love how you consistently give us the example of the mechanics when starting from square one and not just show what the end result looks like. Most KZbin trainers are great at explaining what they are looking to accomplish but forget to step back to the VERY VERY beginning (like eating out of the hand). Thanks for your videos!

[@janshows2914]

I run a German shepherd group on Facebook and the #1 question is “Where do I start with training my puppy?” I’ve shared your channel within the group, only because I have 100% faith in your training style and ways of training puppies & dogs. Thank you for all the videos helping us who seem to be “stuck” on where to start. I never would have even thought about engaging with reward being the first step. I have no problem admitting my faults and things I don’t know 😅 your channel is a true blessing and I’m so excited to start over with kelly and do things the right way.

[@jailenbailey]

I wish my wife and i did this early on with our Blue Heeler. Since learning from our mistakes, I would say she is in an excellent place, but hand feeding during training really could have made life a whole lot easier during the shaping/basic obedience phase. Oh well, we will do this rigorously with our next puppy!

Andy -your training videos are truly helpful, well done, and easy to follow. I have raised 5 GSD’s and am getting my first Eastern European Shepherd in June. Coming from the Czech Republic.

[@andreeca]

Thank you for another great video! What's the difference between "yes" and "free" ? I use "okay" to "free" my dog to do whatever he wants and the same "okay" as we are playing to release him to bite the toy. Am I wrong ?

[@AndyKrueger]

Not wrong! When I use Yes, a reward will always follow. When I use Free, a reward will not necessarily follow every time 👍🏻

[@ogk9com]

I was explaining a few things to my little brother today. He got his first mal. I thought who can he watch to see how to do things? I grew up on vcr training videos, so who in the name of corn on the cob should he watch. Hmmm just one guy shoots straight, that crazy buckeye Andy. Hope all is well AK, Giovanni, subscribe, and join! The price of one fluffy drink will get you access to a real deal decoy. God bless y'all and get out there to get it done.

[@israelgarza2345]

What tips can you give us to try? Can you do a video on both? The stay command and backing up?

[@walterleiva12783]

Loved this video very educating

[@scottm4008]

Should the dog have eye contact with you and do the command to get the reward? I believe that is the reason you have the treats by your eyes/ face area. In other words command, dog sits but doesn't make eye contact with you. Maybe because you don't have the treat near your eyes but he still sits. Then still reward? Thanks for the videos they're great!

[@AndyKrueger]

Pay what you want repeated! Yes, ideally the dog is making eye contact before any release or reward 👍🏻

[@nikkigiesbrecht1778]

Awesome video Andy!! I’ve been trying to decide for my recall if I should say “yes” as soon as my dog turns to start coming to me, or if I should mark “yes” once he gets to me and as he’s coming just encourage with a “good boy”

[@AndyKrueger]

You can mark both separately! Sometimes right when they turn and other times mark when they’re close 👍🏻

[@dean.n]

This so amazing ,thank you for showing the first steps of training a dog . If you don't mind me asking, how long do you think I should do this training with my 6 months old dog ?

[@AndyKrueger]

Well, you should constantly be progressing while at the same time repeating basics over and over. About a month or two if I had to generalize 🙏🏼

[@dean.n]

@@AndyKrueger Thank you sir🙏

[@jlruiz7634]

Love the engagement. My questions is, when starting out, is it best to work on each individual command at a time instead of working on all commands (Yes! Good! Sit! Climb!…..) My thought is to work on Yes/Good engagement for a couple days, then as that tightens up, move on to the rest of the commands individually. Love the videos, appreciate any feedback

[@AndyKrueger]

A little of both! Totally depends on the dog. If engagement is a struggle, I’d work Good and Yes exclusively for hundreds of reps. If the engagement is through the roof quickly, you can work on many things at once like I did in this session! 🙌🏻

[@jlruiz7634]

@@AndyKrueger -thank you for the quick response. That makes complete sense and obvious at the same time lol! Will get on it

[@bambajiz6265]

I have a very anxious malinois when it comes to getting in a vehicle. He wants to get in and then guard the door so I can't get in. I make him wait to get in and that is better, but he gets so anxious when I get in that he wants to growl - have you dealt with that before? I have been working on backup so he moves but he doesn't want to move and wants to be over anxious. He has just turned 1 year old and otherwise very smart and mostly loving 😉

[@bambajiz6265]

Also he is very vocal - I don't want him to stop barking completely but I do want him to stop when I tell him too?

[@AndyKrueger]

Have you ever went straight to a prong instead of a collar at the beginning of training just cause that specific dog needed a little something more than a flat?

[@alexbusteni]

Hello Andy! I have a lady Malinois 8 month old,I start training her( after watching a lot of your videos), for almost 2 month, she's awesome dog!I have big problems with switch/out command! She's not letting go the toy inside her mouth and jumps for the second toy keeping both in mouth😅🤣,from 20 reps if I'm lucky, I get 1 repetition when she'll spit the toy inside mouth for the other one! What can I do to learn her OUT ? Thanks for all your tips🙏🙏🙏

[@VerryLongName]

What do you think of using the “break” command instead of “free”? I watch Tom Davis sometimes, and he uses break. To me, I could see break being more for letting the dog act naturally in a situation where they are least likely to do anything wrong, but free could be a more commonly used release command to get them out of a position.

[@AndyKrueger]

The word is certainly personal preference! I have no problem with break, but it is what you make it. The dog will respond according to their training rather than the sound of the actual word 🙏🏼

[@israelgarza2345]

Hey Mr. Krueger great stuff! How do I teach my dog the stay command and the back up or scoot back command?

How do you train for the stand command having a little trouble with that

[@AndyKrueger]

From a sit. Push in and under the dog’s chin and their back legs will pop up without their front moving 👍🏻

[@sun82w]

Hi Andy, my 18 week GSD does a good sit, stand, stay etc but she keeps going into a “lazy down” by shifting body weight onto a hip after one or two seconds. Any tips? And she also keeps needing to move forward in order to go to a stand. I realize this is all probably bad training on my part but any tips would be great. Thanks so much. Love your content.

[@crushbent]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp2zead_mdKCfsk i think this video is what you’re looking for. the fourth and fifth section of the video specifically but the whole video is great.

[@AndyKrueger]

Thanks! Teach stand from a sit. Push in and under the dogs chin and their back legs will pop up without their front feet moving. Go back to shorter downs with huge jackpots frequently. I always release by throwing a toy behind them. This will keep them in the mindset to be prepared to spring up at any second. Don’t move too fast in the duration of time, once the down is perfect, adding chunks of time is easy 👍🏻

[@sun82w]

Thanks Andy. That’s super helpful. 🙏

Andy Krueger ma man! Do you find Rotties bold but sometime nervous / suspicious? Please will you do a breed reviews 🙏🏽

(Will probably subscribe to patreon when given the chance) im not sure how often you reply to comments but... my husband and i have 3 dogs. 1 german shepherd, a german shepherd belgian mal, and recently recieved a 10 month old full blood belgian mal (original owner passed on) we have been allowing him to acclimate to the other animals and new household for a few weeks now. He has taken a liking to me since day 1, so we decided ill be the one to train and work with him. Any tips on that since he is a little older? Our other dogs know some german commands, should i stick with german with him or could i try something different with him? (Wasnt sure if thatd mess up him or the other dogs if he had different commands) they do understand english as is.

Yes means a reward will always follow. Free is a clock out/ release command.

Who da man? Andy Krueger da man! Another mega video, thank you sir. I thought I understood markers, but now I’m a little confused with the ‘good’ marker. Should a reward always come directly after, or can it also be used as a continuation marker? For example, I ask for a sit then say ‘good’, then ask for a down, then say ‘good’ and then reward. I really appreciate your time here 🙌🏻
