As a dog trainer myself, I will admit I have done some mistakes in this video you’ve mentioned, and know I realize what I need to do. Thank you. I am specifically talking about teaching with punishment. Association and punishment. It makes complete sense. The dog becomes confused as to what you’re punishment it for after it has done something wrong, and now it is looking at the blinds but you punish it for looking at the blinds. I’ve been training my own dogs for years and have never been taught or heard this from anyone.
Great video. Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge. I couldn't afford to pay for videos like this. I genuinely enjoy training my own dog but it isn't feasible for me to pay for classes to learn to train. I appreciate it and I'm glad I found your channel!
You helped me so much with my GSD. I adopted her at 6mo. She was a West German working line Sable. Needless to say, high drive. Being an experienced owner of 2 others I thought it would work out well. It was a journey. We learned a lot. She was an amazing dog. I have never had a better, more loyal companion. Learning to trust was a big issue. Its been 2 weeks since I had to put Jager down. Perianal fistula. She was 4. There is probably another GSD in my future. We learned so much from you. Thank you.
So sorry about your loss💔.I understand so much what you said …I have a Wolfdog and my Daughter rescued a female GSD,working line,high energy …at the age of 1,5 Years she had 4 Owner before,so it was not easy 😏but she is such a loyal compagnon ,a adorable mate for my Wolfdog.…never want to miss her.I grew up with a GSD,I was a Kid and my Dad teach me on the Training Place (sorry if these are the wrong Words sometimes,I‘m german 😬) Obedience,IPO and so on…loved the Weekends with Dad and Dog.During the Week when my Dad was at work i Trainer in the backyard …This first Dog would be forever in my heart ❤️.I was a 8 year old girl as my Dad took me to a GSD Breeder and said to me which puppy would you get?The puppy which were constantly by my side,nibbling my shoes,was my choice.So we take him from that day ❤️until his last day.I was 21 as we two buried him at his lovely place in the backyard (great Garden).We never ever forget him 💔already missed ihm💔.A few years ago my Dad died,so Alf (the name of the GSD) isn‘t lonely anymore in Heaven.🌈And i already remember them as the best Teacher i could get.
I rescued a German Shepherd almost a year ago. He was previously in a home that created a lot of anxiety for him. Rather than working with him, his previous owners chose to isolate him and crate him for most of each day, while they had two other dogs that were never crated or isolated. That is just silly and it created a very sad situation for him and luckily they decided to reach out to a rescue facility to re-home him in a house with no other dogs. That’s how I got him. He’s a great dog. He is highly reactive to other dogs, people, squirrels, rabbits, whatever, when we’re out on our walks. I just wanted to comment that I’ve learned so much from your videos and some of it I’ve successfully used to help me work through some of my dog’s aggression. I especially agree 100% with you on this video. Genetic predisposition and learned behavior is everything. I also now use a tip from time to time you gave on a previous video on how to gain respect on the leash. My rescue dog walks so much better from just doing that a few times on the leash. He has his moments where he reverts to aggression, as he learned that behavior and finds it satisfying when another dog goes away. Lastly, your other video about knowing exactly what kind of dog you have is totally true. He may never be a dog that plays well with others and I’m ok with that. Just wanted to say I love watching your videos!!! They’re sooooooo helpful!!!
I have the Exact same situation only my bella is an American akita and after being a cute puppy she was in a crate under stairs for 6 years horrific but were 4 days in and she's on her 8th walk in whole life and she is getting there.its me who needs to learn not 2 judge her on the behavior of my past akitas and adjust my behaviour.i wish u well
I just want to say that I really enjoy your videos. I’ve been watching you, as well as others, for over a year now and finally got a mal puppy. I enjoy your honest and open training and that you don’t sugar coat anything. Thank you and I hope to meet you guys in the future.
comenting again, 3 month old Working line GSD, social as a angel, huge prey drive. Both parents are trained as defense dogs. Thank goodness I started training him earlier
Mark Hess, me too! I finally sat down with a pad and pen and took notes. It helped to put it all in perspective. It’s a LOT to dissect even for those of us who have trained in one aspect or another for many years.
You're an excellent dog trainer, and know dogs better than 99%+ Just want to point out some technical psychology...which will probably come off as annoying, sorry if so. You should know that reinforcement is always reinforcing good behavior while punishment is always dissuading from bad behavior. The positive and negative has to do with adding something or taking away something. So positive reinforcement is a treat to reward a good behavior, but negative reinforcement would be removing something that is undesirable to increase a good behavior (which is difficult to do, but a common example is making an animal push a lever to remove a bad sound or stimulus, thereby reinforcing pushing the lever, which is the good behavior). Adding pressure like your example is technically not negative reinforcement. Additionally negative punishment is not withholding something like treats/food, it is technically removing something away that the dog already has. You withholding treats is technically an aspect of positive reinforcement, but if you were to take away a bone a dog was chewing on whenever he growled to protect it, that would technically be negative punishment, removing something positive to get rid of a bad behavior. That is all, thanks again for your great videos!
Wow you are blowing my mind in a good way.....I know you are motivating us using the four quadrants yet I'm not wearing an e-collar ?? Thanks once again for expanding our minds
Absolutely brilliant, started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago, I've read lots of books etc but learnt loads from you Thanks for putting your time into them.
This was just excellent 👌. I've replayed it like 3 times to just really grasp the concepts. I have a 7 mo old choc lab and I was able to apply some of these insights to behaviors she exhibits and I'll def approach her training different as a result. For instance, she could care less about praise, but is highly motivated by play and/or food. I would love more videos on these topics that take a deeper dive into each - perhaps outlining different approaches when they exhibit different reactions in each quadrant? I hope I'm saying that right :) Thanks for such an amazing resource
I def was lured into the positive only for his first year. As you could imagine I have a giant dog that runs, bolts when he wants! I’ve implemented ecollar to balance this.
This is such a helpful, educational video. I've only ever gotten dogs after they're grown, so the amount of training I've had to do was pretty minimal (a few house rules, a trick or two). But now that I'm looking at getting younger dog, I've been more concerned about training and socializing them - things I could take for granted with older trained dogs. This is definitely the most helpful video on this topic I've seen - so thank you so much
I’ve been training my dogs in IGP for awhile , but no one ever really went into detail with examples in each of these areas. At least making it clearly understood . Thank you Haz, I’m interested in taking the on- line courses , especially with the reactive dog . Wished I lived closer ! Thanks so much!
Amazing video, love your vibe, thanks hope you keep on sharing knowledge! Would also be great if you did lectures focusing specifically on how these transcendent principles are used to train protection dogs. Thanks from Montreal!
Man, you out did yourself with this video. I have watched some of your other videos, and thet are good, but this one is by far the the best. Thank you, than you, than you!!
Wonderful presentation! Learned a ton and I was reinforced on items that I knew or suspected. I especially liked the barking dogs in the background and your demo dog laying behind the lecturer. I also do not use the clicker, I instead used the "kiss sound" which is always with me and my Max always stops, looks at me for the next command.
Just want to thank you. I've learned more in this 20 minutes video than 6 months of training yet I've just discovered what mistake I've been doing while training recall. Thank you very much. If it happens to come in Italy let me know, my Cane Corso would be glad to meet you and I'll be glad too.
Thank you, So glad I've found your channel, say it as it is, clear , direct straight to the point. Would be amazing if you ever come to England to do a workshop...please..😌 😌
Fantastic video. Thanks. Our Giant Schnauzer is always changing. It amazes me how quickly one behaviour will be replaced by another. Kovacs is 14 months old now. The guard dog is awake. LOL. We are in Oakville.
This was very knowledgeable and interesting. I have an 8 mo German Shepherd that I adopted at 6 mo, so learning beyond the positive only training is helping have a well rounded understanding of my Canine. He has some behavioral issues but Im hoping further understanding will aid on how to better cope and alleviate
Very good explanation. This topic is bit of an onion for me. Many many layers, and a lot of tears from banging my head against a wall to once and for all, "get it."
ahhhh need to wait another year to start getting paid ...Can't wait to be able to purchase your course and train my puppy the right way , went too hard on punishments from 8 weeks to 15 weeks , cuse I didnt know about the importance on house structure so I kept punishing him and now I feel like he is flat on the training even during play and as a malinois that doesn't seem right , hopefully I can still fix our relatioship and bring him up the right way once I get ur material , Thx alot for making it available !!!
As a busy mom I had to rewind a handful of times. This is so interesting. :) I cant agree with you enough...I had a pitbull that had a beautiful disposition but I had a lifelong rule that she could not play with children or women. Im not lying when I used to play tug with her her eyes would do this weird dilation thing...she would zone out. I rehomed her ( not due to her) and suggested that this WONDERFUL canine not be asked to play with children. I hope they listened to the wise advice. BTW she was the only dog I trusted with my sons. Just a beautiful dog but not suitable for a child playmate. Of course both she and my younger son would break the rule sometimes, typically my son, as she was very Obedient and I'd come along and redirect her and stop the playing.
Wondering if you could explain in another video that problem of negative reinforcement with the prong collar with dog reactivity please?! I think I have seen this happen with my own dog (Belgian Groenendael)?
anyone who has ever dealt with a doberman or german shepherd or similar dogs understands all this.......easily trained because they are intelligent dogs with a genetic predisposition doesnt mean they are easy.....my doberman was a nightmare until he turned 2 years old and became the perfect dog....large stubborn alpha male tried to dominate me even as a puppy in ways you wouldnt expect......he won far more than I did
Thank you for this explanation video, love it! Do you have any tips for training a dog that has such an intense food drive that it makes her nuts, but she doesn't care at all about toys or praise? I am having a hard time figuring out how to effectively positively reinforce my Airedale Terrier without hyping her up too much.
