Dog training videos created by world renowned professional dog trainer Emily Larlham (AKA Kikopup)
Topics vary from: basic to advanced dog training, puppy training, obedience, dog tricks, behavior modification, stopping unwanted behavior, reactivity, fear, aggression, anxiety and over-arousal.
When not making RU-vid videos Emily spends her time teaching other dog trainers as well as speaking at dog training conferences and seminars around the world on the concept of training dogs without the use of physical or psychological intimidation.
You offer value for all types of training; these insights solve problems that aren't commonly understood as problems and address behaviors that lead to problems. So good for all.
I agree with you about being understanding. I was in the elevator with one and I was tired and immediately the dog went over by my side and turned to give me the most loving look and I patted her don’t know if it was male or female but after that I fell in love with them
Great videos! Thank you! Any advice for what to do when a trainer has taught a dog to do a "down" for example (using treats) and now the dog will only do the behaviours for a treat? The dog point blank won't follow instructions unless I have something tasty in my hand! He can do the skill no problem but I now can't get him to do it without food :(
Thanks. Very useful! 2 questions.. 1. Do u suggest to teach the stay behavior as a general concept with the specific word and to add it to various situations? Or to initially every behavior that can be stayed to teach that finished only with a release cue and then the stay is sort of built-in and not need another word also..? 2. How u building speed that uve mentioned?
I often think about that question. With my dog I think about what he really needs to learn. For example, I need him to stay automatically when I ask him to lie down or sit. If I planned to ask him to stay in any position as needed at the moment, I would use the "stay" as a learned item. I do not plan to ask him to stay in any other position than in "down" and "sit". I need those for his safety. It's very interesting to teach things like "stay" because it requires the dog's mind to generalize so that request can be applied on top of any position request. Generalization requires brain power, so it's a good thing if dog learns it.
I sadly had to have my Max (Maxamillion) put down, he had Cushing's disease. He was a Multies x Schitzu (spelling ?). I now have little Henry, a Multies x Toy Poodle (spelling ?), Henry is such a boy. He is now 5 months old, so I am so glad to have found you and your much-needed videos. Thank you.
How long is Epic's long line? I also have a Chihuahua and I would like to give her a longer range to explore. I trained my dog to come back to me when she hits the end of the line (thanks to your videos) but I'd like to teach her to walk more slowly when she's sniffing. Also, when I let my dog sniff, she is marking non-stop (she's a 3 y.o. intact female). That creates a lot of stopping. Should I let her do it as much as she likes?
Emily, first, THANK U SO MUCH FOR ALL U DO !!! I'm at dog parks & out with dogs most days & you are the only person I recommend to learn from. I housesit & dog walk. It was great to hear you are vegan even part-time. I've had many dogs & cats for about 30 years. I was starting to learn about hospice care for elderly animals instead of euthanasia, which sadly is standard for almost all animals now. Sadly, I'm on my own & I realized Hospice care with never getting breaks or assistance & recognizing that veterinarians do NOT support hospice care, only euthanasia, it was too hard on me & I finally did euthanize, but, it was 3 months before she would have turned 20 years old. The reason I bring this up is, all of the dogs (all rescues) I've had for 30 years were all vegan. This last dog was outrunning me at 18 years old. I've not done anything scientifically officially, however, it seems to be my experience & others I've heard about where vegan dogs are likely to NOT be aggressive. I was mostly using Natural Balance Vegetarian which is Vegan canned food, &, at times I'd add supplements, &, I would share my green juices with her & any whole vegan foods. When she started struggling at 19 years old, she became worse at the hands of a vets office when I broke my shoulder & was in rehab, I could not find good care for her. My point is, if people are having any aggression issues with their dogs, I now always recommend switching to a healthy vegan diet, either canned, &/or whole human foods, ideally organic. In addition, the whole Covid "Operation" was intentionally designed to destroy & kill people & animals. And, vaccines are NEVER beneficial to animals or people, they are beneficial & outrageously profitable for Big Pharma. Vaccines can definitely cause aggression & health problems & often death. Once I adopted my animals, I NEVER gave them vaccines. Sadly, I gave flea/tick meds at times & one time it killed one of my dogs - Frontline - as these are poison - all flea/tick meds. There are tons of resources if you are interested in either vegan diets for dogs (Dr. Jean Dodds & Dr. Richard Pitcairn (Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats) are 2 of the veterinarians in what was a very long docu-series why all dogs should be vegan: Plant-Powered Dog Food Summit is only 8 minutes long on youtube). If you are interested in learning more about the dangers of vaccines for pets: vaccine-injury.info/pets.cfm . There are TONS of resources on pet vaccine injuries & more. I bring this up because besides the fact that they took your dog behind closed doors away from you, they are putting poisons in these animals & these can directly cause behavior or heath problems & veterinarians have been trained to believe these do no harm, when in fact, they are the cause of most illnesses. There are thousands of human doctors & others speaking out against vaccines & during the Covid Hoax, but were all censored. Non-censoring video platforms exist, similar to youtube, but they don't censor - you can research on Rumble.com, Odysee.com, Bitchute.com & others. Some human doctors speaking out are: Dr. Will Tuttle - worldpeacediet.com Dr. Tom Cowan Dr. Andrew Kaufman Dr. Lee Merritt There's thousands more if you want more.
I found this video fairly informative and it worked at least for me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c77--cCHPyU.htmlsi=gG37qKMtuS_H3rLI
Great video, thanks - would you be able to please show more in-depth how to do the back paws? I can't work out how to do it, if I go near her paws with the scratch board she backs away and offers her front paws thinking that's what I want her to do!
