Train your puppy to be calm in a pen

[@pegdiana]

Thank you for continuing to share your time and teachings without a fees as you have so generously done for years now. Your clear, affirmative style is contagious and easy to mimic. Dogs are the winners as you educate their human partners to be like you are with your dogs. I look forward to following this new pup kid.

GREAT VIDEO!🤗 We were just doing this with our current foster pup (series coming early 2022👀). It’s stunning to watch dogs learn like this. Great examples and great instruction for beginners and pros alike.👍🔥

Stop clout chasing you hack.

[@TheReverseOreoPups]

Excited for the series!

[@HealthyHomeGuide]

Thank you so much for your videos. I just got an 8 week old puppy several days ago and your videos (specifically these pen/separation training ones, and your potty training and biting ones) have been invaluable resources. You have saved me and my girlfriend (and our pup) so much anxiety and frustration with your tips, and I’ve seen so much great progress in our pup. Your most helpful tip has been to not let your pup “cry it out.” Instead to just lower your criteria for reward. He’s made great strides thanks to you training us to train him 🙂

[@moutazmmm7747]

I like the Video that you are calm and deliver the information excellently

[@kikopup]

Thanks! :)

[@MsGoodKind]

Wow your methods are so calming and reassuring. So much to learn 🥰 This pup is amazing

[@talesofatherapydog]

Honestly, who gives this a thumbs down!? Emily, you are brilliant. Both in how you convey the info and how you deal with the dogs. This kind of expertise only comes from working with thousands of dogs over many years. The dog and I appreciate the free training lessons. 😁

[@cheetah2003-z5w]

I find this to be very solid and good training techniques. Thank you for sharing!

[@Anisky123]

We are staying at my Moms and he started bolting out of the door/all doors. She has a walker so fear is him jumping on her (he doesn’t but also if she doesn’t see him as he’s little). He picked up the energy. So am working on capturing calmness and go to your room now in another location. The tip about not too exciting treats struck as he’s not so food motivated from teething but follows me. Your puppy is such a gorgeous and adorable boy!

[@CreativeDiamondDogs]

Have you done a video on how you train the dogs that aren't being worked with to remain where they are and not interfere with the dog your demonstrating with? Seeing that in every video is pretty impressive.

[@1316Salva]

She has videos specific to that, but she did it in this video as well. It's that part where she is doing stuff with Tug (the brown terrier) and she reinforces the guy on the bed for each behaviour that Tug does. As the dog gets better you start asking for more behaviours of the working dog before giving a treat to the one lying down

[@urban_birddog]

She shows this exact thing starting around 7:35

[@TeslaNick2]

It's the thing Emily is known for amongst us trainers (I'm assuming you train dogs). It's very impressive and she makes it look so easy.... Emily's a talented trainer.

[@TT-bz7br]

Thanks so much for all this information! Your methods are amazing. I cannot wait to try them with my new pup that comes home next week!

[@kikopup]

Congrats in your new puppy!

[@pakosouthpark]

absolutely the best trainer in the world!! had watch over 5 hours of your videos (the 3 hours one is really good overview!) picking up an aussiedoodle tomorrow and want to be the best owner out there, thanks to your videos I think we will be fine!

[@TeslaNick2]

A week and look at the settle already. You are crazy good at this !

[@kangakong]

Thank you Emily for another awesome video. I wish I knew what you just taught when I got my dog Dutchie. I trained him to be my service dog ~ (actually, he started of his own volition one day when I had a dizzy spell and fell off my seat, he came running from the next room& sat firmly beside me while I used him for balance to get up) ~ It didn’t dawn on me to train him to be ok with being alone since he was always with me and my prior dog Kanga who was mostly the same breed had no problem being left alone. Anyway, on the rare occasion he isn’t with me I usually have to take him to my sisters house because he howls when he’s alone and I live in a small apartment complex. Even though he’s older now I’m going to try this.

[@TeslaNick2]

Love this story. Dogs who take it upon themselves to be service dogs are amazing. I had the privilege of training a Lab who had taken on the task of calming down an autistic child during his melt downs. Rocky (dog) would basically lie on Austin (child) to stop Austin from hurting himself before the melt down really got going and Austin would calm down much quicker than without Rocky. It's so inspiring that dogs are so willing to give of themselves like this.

[@inkwhiskers9948]

I have a question: Is there a way to restrain your puppy inside a pen or crate for times when you have to leave them and you can't allow them to have the choice to follow you (especially if the thing you have to do is sudden and unexpected) WITHOUT tainting their positive association of being inside a pen or crate?

[@tulsisevadasi]

Great bed and pen. Your new pup is lovely.

[@adevans20]

Great video! Also, I just keep looking at the couches, they are so pretty, I need them 😆

[@kampover]

Such a calm puppy! I've been working on calm behaviour with my two year old since the beginning but she's an anxious dog, so it seems like she's unable to relax without seeing someone around. I've worked on this practically every day since we got her, extending the time, but so far she can by left alone for 15 minutes without freaking out. I am training practically the same way as you do in this video and my pup can stay calmly in her "place" when she sees me even when I'm moving around the room, but as soon as I go out of her sight, she gets up.

[@TeslaNick2]

Have a look at "behavioural downs" from Training Between the Ears. It's designed for this exact problem. I use it with every one of my clients. It installs an "off switch" in the dog. Once they get it, you don't really need to use it if you don't need to as the dog has learned how to properly relax and switch off. It will really help with the anxiety as well and it's so simple to do.

[@swissmiss221]

Thank you so much for sharing you expertise! You clear explanations are very helpful!

[@tedjack9184]

Great topic that we tend to overlook. Thanks.

[@andreamarion3814]

Hey- love your videos. Do you have a training policy on time outs? I use these when my 14 week old puppy won't listen to the senior dog correction to stop jumping on her, or my "off" or "do you need a time out?" - three tries to end the behavior, which now works most of the time. I use positive reinforcement- treats, etc for all other training, except hand biting. He's a Portuguese Water Dog and they work with their mouths so this is huge. If he simply won't stop with distraction or command, usually during the evening "zoomies", I do bring in a time out. If he doesn't stop biting or jumping on senior dog, I put him in the bathroom with all TP, wash cloths etc pulled up, but he has a food puzzle. And I only leave him for 30 seconds. But it interrupts his unwanted behavior pattern. He is doing time out only once a day or even every other day at this point. He really respects the question - do you need a time out? That stops him most of the time. I always speak to him firmly but kindly and put him gently in time out. Never with anger.What's your opinion?

[@danlu2027]

Thanks for the video! Since there are quite a lot of training sessions for our new pup, we are running out of chicken breast too quickly. Is there any suggestion for puppy treat that would be good for training? Both homemade or commercial.

[@swissmiss221]

Plain Cheerios are good for training for a puppy. You can also put some Cheerios in a jar and add a piece of cooked bacon into it and after a short time, they smell really good. I also have learned about making lots of treats at one time with about 3 ingredients from a Facebook group called Pyramid Dog Treats. They use silicone dot molds that you can buy on Amazon.

[@lyreparadox]

You can use their regular kibble for training too.

[@LinneaRitland]

Such a great alternative to “let them whine it out” method!

[@asprywrites]

Thank you, you were wonderful.

[@kikopup]

thanks!

[@girlgamer3000]

About to get a puppy and this was the best time to upload! Thank you kikopup!

[@heckinstellar]

been looking for this exact video!!! thanks so much!

[@janezspadaro1648]

Hello! Thanks for the great video! We just got a puppy and she is 9 weeks old, we’ve been following all of your videos. How can you tell if it’s time for a puppy to settle vs playtime? Which of your paid courses would you recommend for a new puppy?

[@planettuttiandfriends]

Thank you for another great video!! I always check all your videos, specially the puppy ones - even though Tutti isn't a puppy anymore - cause I am curious to see the differences between your puppies working on similar exercises (so going back to previous videos of puppy Wish, puppy Halo, puppy Epic...). Wish you the best of time with your big family! Cheers

[@kombinatsiya6000]

It's wild how different practices are in different countries. In Sweden, pens are illegal and so are dog crates with doors. Makes dog life more challenging...

[@bretyoung1869]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@gcwilson1]

My Puppy wants to bite/chew his mat. I put it up when he first started doing that about 6 weeks ago so he has not had the chance to chew it/rehearse. But I really want to tech him to enjoy it and have a place to settle. Do you have any videos that might help. Thanks so much!!

[@gcwilson1]

@@lyreparadox thank you for the input. I’m using treats on a mat as Emily prescribed. Doing very short intervals but he’s not chewing on it and lays down waiting for treats. 😊

[@marcoflynnriekstins4233]

What treats are using using? My pup isn’t really taking to treats enough to motivate

[@otaeotay]

thank you so much! You’re a pro haha

[@MrBoxxed]

Is it ok to start seperation training at 5 months? My puppy sleeps in my bed, and I want to introduce separation. Is is too late.

[@caityyy7234]

What are your thoughts on AVSAB's position statement on humane dog training?

[@jjsolly5039]

Excellent and goooood reminder to use a calm marker😊praying for your back to heal, in Jesus'Name amen🙏😊

[@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks]

This was useful!

[@nolafox5524]

What are you using for training - food wise.

[@lyreparadox]

she said she's using his kibble

[@secession77]

My brain when I read the title on thumbnail: PEN PINEAPPLE PUPPY PEN UH!

[@kangakong]

Emily, do you have a PayPal account? I didn’t see one listed on your ABOUT page.

[@sheridan1700]

what's his name

[@Slash0mega]

Its so stressfull thag all these videos have so many prerequisits. You google a video and its turns out you dog needs to know settle or knows go to bed or knows who knows what else. And when you go search those videos they have there own prerequisites

[@leonalee3762]

my puppy bites on the bed after he settles down :(

[@Hiiiiiii-hi]

Hi

[@marsack7]

My puppy would shred that dog bed in 1 hour. My previous dog ate her dog bed when she was a puppy and nearly died. With the help of a veterinarian she passed the stuffing the next day.
