Check out our video on teaching dogs to stay - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_Rn6KngceHsM0

[@asfasdfadf9820]

These videos keep popping up on exactly the topic I'm struggling with, thank you!

[@grannysouthafrica7540]

Really enjoyed this podcast. Thank you Susan.

[@juliegoodlet590]

I will definitely do that in future, with training my dogs ❤thank you

[@rachell4307]

Great podcast Susan!!! I’d love to learn how to teach dogs to hold a toy in their mouth while they watch. I always smile when I see Swagger do it 😂🥰 it’s just so silly 😜

[@jacquiehumphrey3701]

What a great reminder to take small steps. I have six dogs and they give me lots of challenges. I love watching your videos to inspire me. thank you so much!

[@nataliamunoz608]

I love this. Super informational.

[@bustamante-music]

thanks for referring me to this video! i just wanted to say that you’ve completely changed my mindset on training and my relationship to my puppies. i’m being way more mindful of my temperament with them and trying to reduce the conflict in our training. i’m less angry and more optimistic about the future and i truly appreciate your content, thank you!

[@helenfrench8775]

I thought I was unusual in hating to hear my older dog bark when training my younger one! Love these podcasts, there’s so many useful and relatable tips. 🐾🐾

[@shayjones954]

This came at such a perfect time! I have my older dogs working so well but I had slacked with my new pup and it isn't fair! I will work on this now! Thank you!

[@dkery]

Oh!! How great is this topic!! Thank you for this podcast!!

[@lauramumma2360]

Thanks I was wondering how to work towards this. 😊

[@jeffreyH360]

These are so much like Susan‘s old coaching calls “priceless and full of gems“❤

[@LeslieVanderland-vp5zb]

Leslie Vanderland My problem is not getting angry with my dog, when she comes off the hot spot, after spending years using punishment. It has been a challenge for me. Thank you! Enjoy your podcasts!

[@debadler7086]

What step is next for a high prey drive that does fine working and watching while sister is working. New dogs are the problem outside our yard

[@RGVRescueRangers]

Thank you for your videos Susan! From Edinburg South Texas!

[@annettefry9347]

Susan mentioned teaching her dog to hold something while waiting to work. Would she be willing to make a podcast about that?

[@DogsThat]

Hi Annette, thank you for this wonderful suggestion, we've made a note.

[@lisagraham8359]

I am working with not two but 3 goldens. I have three platforms in my backyard and I am working many of the things that you are suggesting. I am calling each by name and giving them a Q and I am having fun seeing how they all understand when it is or is not their turn. on the other hand, there are times when I do tell one dog to sit many times I get three dogs sitting. While I do reward the dogs who stay, I don’t think I do it enough. I also have dogs who will lean over and check out the grass below their platforms or come off if I am not engaging them and I need to do a better job of reinforcing the stay. Super fun podcast, Susan. Thank you

[@lindamann1182]

Loved this podcast. I have 4 dogs, and the reason I have stopped training is the crazy barking I get from them when I’m trying to train 1 dog. So needed to hear this. Thanks so much Susan ❤️🐾❤️

[@kkcarte]

I'm in Recallers trying to train multiple dogs. I can separate them for crate games and hot zone, but I haven't found a way to insulate them from others barking. I would love to hear suggestions because my progress is blowing up. Thanks. Love your podasts!

[@kyleerichardson4564]

I both love watching your videos and you have sooo much good advice i find myself extremely overwhelmed trying to figure out what my training plan/schedule.. i have a 1 1/2 year old staffy/pit mix and 5 month mini Australian shepherd and i cant train them separately because my puppy always wants to be with my other dog, so when there in there cages together he’s fine, but if me and my other dog leave to do training 1on1 he freaks out and barks consistently and I don’t want to let him do that for that long because I don’t want him to be that stressed out then I can never spend time with my other dog and I feel like I’m always with him and I feel like she’s starting to feel neglected is really stressing me out and I just feel like I’m not capable of being able to train two dogs at the same time

[@kyleerichardson4564]

Also When you get a new puppy do you train them first or do you stick to your same schedule training other dogs first and making puppy wait.?

[@silverleaf79]

As usual you make perfect sense but also as usual I can't seem to make that leap to understand how this works for me and my dog. River my papillon hops on and off as well, even with no distractions. What's putting me off going through crate games is the hour or so it takes to do the first part of it - I think he'll be mentally exhausted after 15 or 20 minutes because it will be incredibly hard for him. An hour is such a long time for a "busy" little dog. I probably need to push through, but it feels like too much for him. He can get very excited about other dogs running agility. Movement can be too much for him, especially if a dog looks like it's running in his direction (that last bit is the legacy of having been attacked by a dog that charged him, and almost attacked by several others that intended to hurt him and would have done so if I'd not lifted him to safety).

[@kimberlykearney6058]

Hey, love your podcasts/video!! I want to learn everything. 😛 I have two female shelter pups. Genna is maybe a pit mix, about 38lbs and almost 2 yo and Roxie is about 9 months, lab/hound?, about 40lbs. I have been taking them to the dog park everyday for exercise but I keep hearing you say, don’t rehearse bad habits, or something like that. It’s quite a distance from the parking lot to the park and they both pull on leash. Once we get there, Genna is obsessed with the water hose, she is very friendly but barky with other dogs. Roxie loves to dig where the water creates mud. If Roxie is not exercised enough, she has been known to jump our back fence. Do I continue taking them to the park for exercise or find ways to exercise them in our back yard until they are better trained? Also, I want them to be well socialized with other dogs and people so I don’t want to cut them off from that interaction. Thanks for all your great training information!! ❤❤❤

My dog's all understand 'turns' and respectively don't butt in on one another's turn when it comes to fetch, bowl placing during meals, a groom and individual hugs, but anywhere else and they all magically forget what 'Katy's turn' or 'Pip's turn' or 'Boots's turn' means. This podcast very much makes sense, you given me clarity. I can see I've been trying to do too much (training) with them together(me being lazy or trying to take short cuts, which of course are not at all short with 6 dogs). I see i cannot escape the need to separate during sessions and get the one getting my time further away so they can focus on me and not how quickly their turn is going to get 'stolen' by the ones whining or barking on the other side of the xpen or door. One one hand, I have areas where my dogs desired behaviors are deeply imprinted and shaped by me since puppyhood.... and on the other i have all the things I've neglected or that have been shaped by 'laziness' and 'without clarity' that i need to change. My dog's are all great in crates but now the older one rarely if ever use them so they are likely to ask what and why now... so I need to do crate games as well! When i see all the individual training i need to do (with six dogs) I pop into my lizard brain, I'm totally overwhelmed and procrastinate. Home school for dogs is helping a lot! Though i confess i will not have completed it in 4 months... I'm only just getting to hot zones. Thank you for this great podcast!

[@annettefry9347]

Thanks Susan and staff. I really needed this foundation before putting my 3 year old bc in an agility class. She is triggered by all the movement and level of excitement. She has made great improvement but we both would have benefited greatly if I had prepared her for success.

[@DogsThat]

You can do this Annette, thanks for commenting!

[@DogsThat]

It is so great to hear you are making progress with your Border Collie!

[@traceywison8241]

Sorry if it's already mentioned but how do you teach them to hold a toy if they are likely to bark

[@zravenwolf1408]

I think this is the first video of yours that I've seen and I love it. I'm working on doing this with the two dogs and three cats I have. No one is good at it yet and it's all on me, I've taken a step back to work on the cats one on one and the dogs just to playing having one stay while I call the other off and then switching. But we'll get there. And yeah, I liked and subscribed. Thank you.

[@ammi_10]

I have been using "OK!" as a release word since 1973 and I don't ever recall it being a problem. 🤷‍♀️ My current dog's name is Denim but I say it in different tone than if I was referring to sewing a pair of jeans. 😉Tone is one of the first things a puppy learns. I think this is the only thing I disagree with you about. 🤔

[@gailwiblin267]

Can you recommend non verbal cues for deaf dogs in this situation? My older terrier still loves to train but I’m not sure how I cue him for his turn. I currently have him in his crate so the opening of the door is his cue…. I guess I need to first teach him another visual signal ?

[@kimdillon989]

I do this with my two dogs. The problem I have is when the working dog gets his release word. Like Yes! My dog in the hot zone is like, I heard the release word and pops off the hot zone. 😂 I usually just put one dog downstairs while working upstairs and swap out dogs.

[@crazycorgilady13]

But how do we train hot zone and crate games etc when we have 4 dogs and are just starting? None of them, or me for that matter, have those basics. How do I start from the very beginning with multiple dogs?

[@TR-jz4zv]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWfWm2mcia-hfMU Susan demonstrates how to build value for a hotzone in this pivots and spins video. You'd be welcome to join Home School the Dog, where we teach Hot zone in greater depth and offer coaching along the way. Crate games, is also available online. Have fun!

[@casdragon_5939]

train each individually; move the others somewhere else (other room, outside, etc.) and switch them out that way

[@joanadler2304]

Trust that the dog won’t take off-when mom is a control freak!

[@brittaedwards7415]

I'm the problem- my dogs are the clever ones......lol...(work in progress is myself) xx

[@DogsThat]

You got this, Britta!

[@debbiestrang7774]

“THIS” is that the dogs name?

Hi Debbie, yes, her name is This!, here's a video sharing how This! got her name - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmWxoKGjp6iCmNk
