We have the occasional fight situation, 30 lb pit mix and 10 lb chihuahua terrier. I watched this video twice and I’m still not sure exactly what the two example people actually did to never have it happen again. I do see signs that I step into to prevent but the times they go at it were not sure what the heck happened, seemingly no sign 😢
working on my friends labradoodle and hes got so much drive and energy. Been implementing a lot of play to give him is outlet. Learning so much! amazing information and perspective!
Love ya Larry. Just ordered a mini educator and this is the video I'm going to use to start training. with it. Got all the basics down. Thanks so much!
This video was very helpful! I noticed that you mentioned don’t have a prong or choke chain on while playing. I think that many dog owners don’t think about that. Very good that you said it. . 🙏🏻
Greetings from the UK Larry. Just following you and listening to your advice and of course buying the book, you have made me a much better dog owner. I have an English staffy who has been attacked a few times , now he is reacting to other dogs. Just by listening and implementing your advice , we're starting to see results. I can't thank you enough!!!!
I noticed that my dog will start picking up on cues when I’m ready to use his marker word to get the ball or tug. I see you do it as well. When you grab the tug with both hands holding it in front of you he knows you’re about to say yes. I been switching it up and using both hands or just one to offer the reward so I can keep him guessing. You think that is something that will make a difference or will hurt the game we’re playing?
No. READY brings the dog into action. YES allows the bite. The way you hold the tug doesn’t indicate anything. He already knows it’s coming due to the ready marker
I'm so glad to see people doing more to help dogs stay in their homes. I worked in rescue for a few years. I have 5 of my own, all rescues in their own way. I have never met a dog who didn't deserve every opportunity to stay with it's family. People don't seem to understand that it's their own failings that lead to dogs in shelters and being rehomed. Very often it's simply that they're too lazy. It requires walking away from screens and focusing on someone else's needs for a while and actually paying attention. Committing and following through are hard for some people. It's just easier to give up and make it someone else's problem or murder and innocent animal that no one bothered to care enough about. I'm right there with you. That's why I'm here after another dog fight trying to learn more. Our situation isn't ideal. I don't have a lot of money. But, I understand that this is a human world and dogs don't instinctively know how to navigate it. We don't give them enough time with their mothers for them to even learn the basics. When we adopt them we adopt that responsibility also. Nobody tells you that. It's committing to doing whatever it takes and then doing it, NO MATTER WHAT! Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless ❤
Is there a reason to use the “out” and “off” markers instead of “drop it” (to release) and “down” (when my labradoodle Lucy is jumping up on someone in excitement, the kitchen counter, etc)? She is 2yrs old.
@@fotofrog1 words don’t matter. Use what you want but you have to be consistent and make sense to the dog. People are very inconsistent with their dog then they blame the dog for not doing
❤ I love this. I play with my terrier with a rabbit tug on a rope. She loves it ! I let her win and sometimes she looses her grip and I win! When she wins I use a “bring it in” marker for her to bring the toy back to me so the game can start again! We also do “out”
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
There’s not another trainer on RU-vid that clearly defines what markers are and how to use them other than Larry. His videos are incredibly beneficial.
Went to a Larry seminar, very disappointed which is too bad especially booking a working spot didnt feel the effort . Also walking down an empty street isnt a great example if he is actually wanting to give owners information to help the dog.
Thanks be to Dave, I rarely stand still and load the clicker. I'm always busy training and the dogs seem to respond kuch quicker when their brains are active and then they also want to work out what the clicker is for and that in itself can become a game which as we know helps them learn faster. Thank you for confirming for me. Larry thank you for introducing me to play, proper play during g training it has Been an absolute game changer over the last year. B
After the COVID debacle, the term "science based" lost all meaning to me. I look for pure evidence now, and that's why I believe in balanced style dog training. Purely positive is a giant cult like movement!
Was suggested your video and loved every minute of it. Rescued/found about a 2 year old American Bulldog and trying to get it socialized towards other dogs. Had/have anmolder Lab which is now staying at anothe family members house for don't trust the new dog. Will be taking a look at your other videos for sure. I am guilty with lack of obidience with the lab but she loves people and dogs with no aggression there. New dog is not,that way and afraid it wasn't socialized at a young age, but she loves people.
Good 👍 we need to understand every dog is unique and an experienced owner or trainer knows what best for the dog. Tools are used for some objective in the trainer’s mind for the dog. There is no rule of thumb, we understand general guidelines for several situations how you use it its up to you if you are not abusing a dog with your stupid self invented methods :) Here it’s fun to watch dog calmed down and started playing.
That was it. It’s the same say. Don’t reinforce attempts to control space. But don’t infringe on the dog either. Considered and careful movement in relation to him and his owners. Dog settled. Introduce play carefully. Encouraging owners to take charge and correct the dog if something blows up, not Larry. It’s poetry in motion really.
