I had gotten a baby Rottweiler when she was 4 months. She was starved, beaten, tased, and had Parvo. When we got her back to health, she was so unruly. With your help, I swear she is so amazing now. She is almost 2 and in great health. I work for a large pet corporation and when I talk to pet parents who are having issues, I send them to your videos. You are so amazing. You have taught us so much

@@shealasha4929 Mental stimulation is also equally important as Physical exercise !

@scottmarsh2991 2 года назад

Regarding crate training, I wish to underscore the supreme importance of “calm leadership from a place of love.” You MUST NOT BE ANGRY when putting your dog into the crate, though you may be frustrated. Time-outs must always be an opportunity for your dog to CHILL OUT; the crate must not be seen as a punishment but, rather, a sanctuary! I achieved this for my dog by keeping the crate well cushioned, always open when vacant, and always stocked with treats that I had surreptitiously planted there. I also made a habit of depositing my dog’s favorite toys in there whenever I found them lying around elsewhere and unattended. Location of the crate may also play a role. Some dogs may exist who want some privacy when chilling out, but most are probably very social, like my “party girl” who wants to be “up in the mix” even when she could use a nap. As such, her crate was not in a back room but, instead, in a high-traffic living space. You’ll know you’re doing crate training right-meaning, in such a way that your dog accepts it as a sanctuary-when they go into the crate without prompting, just to chill out and relax.

@AngeloXification Год назад

Learning that becoming frustrated doesn't mean you become angry is the very definition of controlling one's emotions. I noticed how worked up I became when becoming frustrated and then realised I'm the issue and not the pooch. Then you learn it's basically the same with humans.

@tarawalsh7045 Год назад

Yes, I was just explaining to my daughter how extremely sensitive to our moods that dogs are and that conflict between us effects them. Just like before her father and I parted ways so she totally understood that. She had been getting overwhelmed by her 11 month old Labrador male and using the harsh punishment style of dog training, of which I completely disagree and find very upsetting myself. All this accomplished was that our dogs (two small Yorkies too) would run to me and hide behind me when she would enter the room angry. I finally watched this video and she has totally agreed that it makes complete sense and has had immediate benefits and results already.

You can call him, then it’s his choice, but that’s his safe place”. They understood, did that, and worked very well w 2 rambunctious little boys always excited to see their dog.

@paultrewin5871 Год назад

I started threshold training only a week ago. She already knew sit and wait, just not in the context of crossing thresholds. She learned what was required instantly. I cannot tell you how much calmer and better behaved she is. It has been miraculous. She’s a 3 yr old working cocker. My dog trainer was very impressed, saying it is something many dogs really struggle with. I can’t recommend it enough.

@ReptilianLaserbeam Год назад

I got a rescue puppy last year, this is one of the things I never forget to do daily. When we leave and we come back home he knows he needs to sit/lay down and wait for the door to be opened, and then for him to be invited to leave or to enter. This changed absolutely everything!! everyone sees him waiting in there and are amazed on how "well behaved" our dog is. We still have a lot of areas of improvement but this threshold training is a really good practice.

@SteveWachira Год назад

I’ve only ever posted like 5 RU-vid comments ever but this deserves one. Easily the best info any new dog owner can get in one simple video. My shepherd husky was a menace when she was younger until I started doing everything you talked about, including other training methods such as leash pressure/heeling/focus/recall- (touch). She is an absolute angel now and the dog I dreamed of having. Ppl underestimate the basic needs of a dog and what It can do to help mold them. Great video

@kbc1883 2 года назад

I take my 3 niece and nephew dogs for a walk together every morning. Three different ages, breeds, personalities. In the 3 weeks that I've been watching your videos, we have made such progress that I cannot even believe the difference. And I have zero previous experience with dogs. And I'm not even their main gateway to their food and shelter. The very anxious dog seems so much happier and more relaxed as she loves the structure. We've gone from 2 super leash pullers that were hurting my back and no following of commands to delightful walks, heeling all the way, sitting and staying off leash, all three sitting simultaneously at the edge of the road and every other threshold area... and more. Truly life changing!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Tiring my border collie out is actually easy. Patience and just having fun is everything to us. We train everything every day over 5-15 min sessions through out the day. Currently, we are working on heel training (it always spooks me just how quickly he absorbs proper instructions). Having him work for his meals is probably the best thing I've ever done for him. Cheers for the videos and guides on your website, Will. Great stuff.

Great content man, covering in-depth every aspect . Every dog owner (and future ones too!) should have those rules in mind, it gives a big amount of control over various life situations with your dog, which reduces any anxiety or stress in a dog & owner - you will not be fearful that your dog will badly behave, and dog will not be stressed by new situations. Win-win scenario for every one! Also when you have a puppy, remember about behavioral changes that will happen (from puppy to adult dog) - don't give up and stick to those 5 rules, it will help you a lot!

Love these tips! I exercise threshold manners when leaving the house, but I see I can implement it at any opportunity with benefit. I also do the first 4 of your basic commands (mostly successful.. x'D), but I should put more effort into recall and place commands :)

Love watching and learning. So motivating for developing great pets. Wish i could have one, bit eventually so continuing my own training now! I've found I've been able to help others around the neighborhood, girlfriend and family using yours and C. Milan's techniques. So fun to do.

I am revisiting this video for the second time. We were put out of our condo due to a fridge water lining flooding. We are currently in a temporary residence inn. We are surrounded by sidewalks and open fields here. What I have been doing recently has been sit/stay at each "crossing." Meaning when we come to the end of the sidewalk or parking lot Ginger sits and stay's until released. The same for when we cross a street or get to the train track etc. I learned this from you and this video. Ginger has been doing this here now for the past four weeks since we came here. Ginger cannot wait to go out and "work" each morning. I tell her, "Let's work" and off we go. She absolutely loves "to work." I am highly grateful for your lessons. She looks up to me and is then rewarded with a Cheerio. This has strengthened our relationship tremendously and helped her with the stress of an unplanned and stressful move from our home to another. Her reward is also to go out on her lead to the surrounding mowed fields and sniff and "hunt" for moles which is a brain exercise we do frequently (we are surrounded by an office park and have many., many 16 wheelers, garbage trucks, delivery trucks around us so she must stay on her lead 24/7 right now for her safety.)

I agree with every word he says in video that's how I training my dogs, nice guide for newbies 💯

I’ve never heard of the food pouch thing before but my dog is VERY food motivated so I want to give it a try and it’s working already after 2 days!! She can pull me off my feet sometimes and even sprained my wrist once. Glad to be getting a handle on this

Hi Will! I deeply admire your work and thank you so much for the love you have for these wonderful dogs, especially the big boys, my personal favorite. 🥰 May you please share more tips and tricks for doggies that are hard of hearing/partially hard of hearing? Also how do you recommend preparing guests and family so that they can avoid things like startling your pet? This happened yesterday while having a BBQ. I suspect her nose was overwhelmed so my friend appearing in front of her really freaked her out. This question is for my friend's rescue, she's a chihuahua mix with a really lovely temperament, just clearly she is partially or fully deaf.

@stephaniedaigle4794 Год назад

Dogs that are deaf are going to be more aware of their surroundings than we give them credit( how is the dog’s vision though?) , I’m a dog trainer myself but I’ve not had the experience of working with a dead dog.. But I have seen quite a few owners of dead dogs use all kinds of GENTLE approaches like… softly blowing on them to wake them up and to let them know they are there, using lights ( as in Actualy blinking the lights on and off when they get home to alert the dog, etc).but things are always going to be a lot More challenging with chihuahuas due to their sheer size! I’d recommend just always keeping them at close range as they are gonna want to feel Protected and safe as much as possible especialy due to their fragility… and they are going to depend on their owner more and more as they age too… ! I don’t usualy recommend “ baby-ing” a dog… but if there’s any dog than can be the exception to that rule it’s def a chihuahua … and a blind one at that! Just treat him like the precious and Fragile thing that he is! And make sure to just communicate with everyone around about his new dissability and that they need to be careful when approaching him, and if they want to come approach and say hi, to not “jump” or make any “sudden movements “ in front of him to not startle him and to just be gentle and Overly Aware ! That’s how I would approach things! ❤ Best of luck w that!

What a relief to find such a useful trainer! We got into trouble with animal control because Loch actually broke his choke collar and nipped a woman on her finger. She called animal control. My boy is a rescue and we went through trainings all the way to training to be a Sevice dog but during that training he became over protective and the trainer said he cannot be a service dog because he has bitten and lunges qt people

Rapidly becoming a fan. Adopted a Catahula Leopard Dog approx 8 months old two weeks ago before knowing what she was. The shelter had no idea. I've been used to basenjis for the last 25 years so I was over confident going in. We bonded so quick at home, she's such a sweetheart, that I was astonished at her level of aggression at other dogs when walking the river path near our home. Just a few of your videos have given me so many tools for consistent training that I wanted to express my gratitude. So thank you for your helpful content. Looking forward to more.

I have 3 rescued dogs, all with varying degrees of training. One is almost year old with almost no training, then we have a 3 and 4 year old who we have have taught some, but we are going to be able to teach them better now. I didn't have dogs as a child, but I thought I was doing well by them. And I think over all, we have been, but we also have made some mistakes in their training. I am so thankful I found your videos. You are teaching ME how to retrain my older dogs things that I either taught them incorrectly, or they came to me having anxiety about. And the almost year old will be better off because my family is going to be able to help all 3 of my dogs more. You have given me hope in many areas. I am a little nervous because I realized that I have 3 dogs who each have different things that need to be worked on. I am thinking the best thing to do will be to take them out one on one for some focused time, then, maybe my husband, my oldest teen (who claims one of the dogs as his own), and myself can each stick to one dog for the consistent reinforment/carring their daily food around the house while we are reinforcing these skills.

@@willathertoncaninetraining LITTERMATES. I know, I know. All the reading I have done says don’t do it. Unfortunately I did all the reading after we had adopted and fallen deeply in love with the pair. Committed and getting there slowly.

Having learned to walk down steps to the side so a dog who goes like a missile, I am so proud to have taught my new rescue kelpie his thrshold manners. Even with the cat hissing behind him he will sit so I can leave the room first. I feel much safer moving around with him. Thanks so much.
