Im so happy I have finally found a channel that uses positive reinforcement as the main form of training!!! I've recently got a stubborn maremma and I am definitely going to be using your techniques going forward
There were so many dogs at the beach this morning - we live a few miles from the ocean and the beach is a place we go a LOT. We have a miniature poodle (fantastic breed folks), and we adopted her 15 years ago! We discovered the dog breeder after having met a family with another miniature poodle which they had named "Johnny Depp" LOL. We trained her, using many of the techniques I wrote about in my book, "Puppy Training: How to Housebreak your Puppy IN AS LITTLE as 7 Days" (Amazon) And we never looked back. She's been an amazing dog - kind of shy, but LOVES people. Allergens are not an issue, no shedding, easy peasy. But Southend Training has nailed SO MANY key elements with this video and many others.
Have you tried liver? Chicken or lamb cooked and dried in the oven. Most folk use low value treats. I’ve never met a dog that turns their nose up at liver. Also fast them before training.
It's a border terrier it's cruel to keep in a small carrier, and borders are not good in flats they need a garden they are not lap dogs he's not crazy the woman is for having him. I would rehome to border terrier lover .
Yes, I’ve got my dog to a point where I can walk with a slack lead and she used to be doing everything she could to get the other dog on the ground by the throat. You have to train the focus break cue when you don’t need it and make it fun but calm. Mine now looks to me for a treat if we see something she doesn’t like and doesn’t react so threatening things now mean something good to her, wasn’t how I planned it to go but it works and everyone’s happier 👍 Giving an opportunity to release the physical tension immediately after you break the dogs attention to whatever the thing is helps a lot too 🙂
Such good advice, you previous videos on this have helped me train my girly and she is now the best on the lead (I got her when she was 12 and she is now 14) turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks
I’ve just got a halti today for my collie he’s 1, all fine with treats in the house but for the life of me I can’t get him to acknowledge them when we are out help!😅
That's a VERY nervous dog. Whale eyes (showing the whites of the eyes), panting-both signs of stress. Instead of forcing, I'd shape the behavior. If I wanted him to get there, I'd stand inside and, with a bit of leash pressure, get him to take a step forward. Mark, reward, treat, then let him step away. It reinforces that walking in is a behavior that'll get him food, plus it shows him that I respect his boundaries by allowing him to walk away. It creates better trust than going "I know what's right and you will comply".
@@southenddogtraining1 Do you guys happen to have anything on overly excited dogs in the car? We toilet, treat and run him before he gets in. Car journeys are deeply unpleasant 😬 He's such a good boi everywhere else! 😀
Sometimes it is their fault 😂 Let me explain...I had a Bassett hound, and when he was a puppy, I would take him out to potty before I left the house. I would be gone less than 10 minutes, and he would pee in his kennel. If we were home, no accidents. Eventually he stopped doing that every time we left, but man oh man I know he was doing it on purpose! 😆
I’m a terrier fanatic and I tell everyone that asks about my Lakeland this. Just because I’ve been training with her since she was 3 months old and she looks like a curly little angel (she is still part demon like all terriers) doesn’t mean you’ll be willing to do the same. I have most certainly kissed worm guts off of her on accident 🤮.
You should NEVER put a collar on a Pomeranian as a lead. They should only wear harnesses because they are prone to tracheal collapse. They have very fragile tracheas.
Ate people who do that possibly thinking of cats? Cats love a good hand sniff, i know many who will shy away until you let them sniff too. Not so much dogs though
