How to Get Your Dog to BEHAVE ANYWHERE! - Training Environments 

Hahah same.

Haha

Me too lmao

😂😂😂

Train him with chicken

My son (Jeff) could be a twin brother to Ryan Gosling. =Jeff is a little taller than Ryan, but when Jeff was in the Army (82nd Airborne) he ands his buddies would go into bars and the bouncers always thought he was Ryan and Jeff's friends his body guards. Got them a few drinks.

Right!

Ikr.. Lol

Ha ha I thought exactly that !!

Hehehehehe

Sonny agrees :)

Yes indeed, very few trainers even try to understand the dog their working with. One thing Cease always does first is understand the dog....they are all different.

I believe you're on some kind of drug that puts you out of touch with reality, :).

i have a 1 year old border collie/GSP…her prey is the fetch ball…iknow what you mean about acting like i’m not there at times. I am slowly getting her to trust my help when she can’t find the ball. I already trained her to wait, and i use it alot just to have some control of the game…i point a direction before i throw which is teaching her to watch me for direction of the ball…and now when she can’t find it she tries on her own, i wait until looks at me, i mark the look as a check in, and i point to the direction and she then goes in the direction. now i’m working on refining when she gets close…all the training takes so many repetitions, and the learned behavior has to be broken into so many small steps

Glad this helped you out! :)

i was so tired of our lilly biting us all the time and then i used a few tips i learned from the tinyurl.com/yaq8h47b -- videos. it was like night and day; worked so well

1st thing everyone thinks, I’m sure.

Have you looked at any of Tyler Muto's DVDS? Tyler covers this topic in leerburg.com/leashreactivitydvd.php The DVD focuses on aggression but it covers training with your dog around other dogs. We also have DVDs on engagement ... which will help your dog engage with you better in any environment - leerburg.com/EngagementDVD.htm Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions

Kiera FitzGerald I have two labs one is a mix the other isn’t and they are really bad. We can’t separate them but since they are together they are more trouble.

I hope you had good luck with her! Kudos to you for looking for help with dog training videos 👍

yes, please. please make a video of this

@@Christusolus They'll do amazing, just as they've been conditioned to. The purpose of this is to teach and "GENERALIZE" the behaviors while attaching then to feelings of excitement/elation. After enough time, that elation and excitement becomes permanently attached to the commands. At that point, you fade out using the kibble and move towards just simple verbal commands while only ever paying out once or twice every couple weeks or so. How does this work? The same way a slot machine works for us humans. We continue to perform a meaningless behavior over and over (pulling the slot machine handle) simply for the sake of the POSSIBILITY of a payout, even though a payout rarely ever comes, because it's happened to us in the past and we have excited emotion attached to that payout. Same reason the dog continues to offer the behaviors later on without the use of any food/treats/etc. This is how Pavlovian Learning works (classical conditioning) and how you begin to shape and control behaviors from the dog even if the dog isn't willingly participating in the learning process mentally. You're also only viewing what's called the "teaching" phase. This is only to establish and reinforce commands, to ensure that the dog knows 110%, without a shadow of a doubt, what's being asked of it. This is achieved by creating benefit for the dog to the point it operates flawlessly just off of verbal command alone, and from in any direction, placement, distance, or etc. From there, once the dog ABSOLUTELY knows the command through and through and isn't relying on a visual cue or other indicator other then the voice alone, THEN you move onto proofing. Proofing is where you start slowly adding in higher and higher levels of distraction, and gaining/enforcing compliance at each level, until the dog is performing in compliance nearly 100% of the time without any hesitation or the need for any correction. At this point, you now know your dog is done and you're good to go. But, to understand how all this works, you have to get extremely versed and educated in learning application, canine cognition, and not only WHY everything works but the mechanisms at play that MAKE it work. Without that, you'll have an extremely hard time learning or understanding thoroughly why it is that this works and why all of your most elite of elite trainers in top10 positions all across the world in competition, use these exact methods to get to the levels they reach (vs just simple compulsion training that looks like child's play when compared on the field during Schutzhund/PSA/IPO/FR trials when compared to the dogs trained using these methods.) Note: It's not always food, treats, or kibble that's used either. It's all dependent on the dog and what they desire and enjoy most based off of their innate and inborn natural drives. Some will be rewarded by by treats, some will be food, some will be tug games, some will be solely praise and attention, and all that's in between. Just depends on the individual dog and the drives they display. Learning about the three following methods of how dogs, humans, and virtually everything else learns, will REALLY help you out drastically in putting out top tier dogs: - Classical Conditioning - Operant Conditioning - Premack Principles ***This is exactly how whales, dolphins, walruses, and virtually all other wild animals, lions, tigers, and bears are trained for those big elaborate shows and stunning crowd performances... You ever tried choking, shocking, or forcing a whale, dolphin, bear, or walrus to learn and perform? Of course not, they'll flatout kill you hehe. Thus, how these very methods were studied, founded, and implemented. Just go back and watch a top10 Nationals Schutzhund trial from the 80s where they used pure compulsion and etc. Then watch and compare a top10 Nationals trial from today's times where they now use these methods. It's easy to see which dogs are more elite, fight with more vigor, and have much more responsive reactions and drive on the field - not to mention overall happier and elated while fighting and performing :)

That's when ya know they behave well....without treats

I know right! It's not sea world. The dog wasn't distracted by the pool it just had enough treats so it stopped listening. Leader of the pack not leader of the snack. I always liked the Koehlers method of training a dog to heal. never a word spoken. Just training the dog to pay attention to the person.

We cut sections into the foam for the photos :) The foam in the room is more for look than anything

Treats in hand will help keep dogs attention....although this will only work if your dog is food/treat driven... you my need to use a toy or other means depending on your dog and what drives them... drug dogs will usually get a toy as a reward

my 1year old pup stares at me waiting to sit, down or fetch while i hold the ball, also she knows how to creep slowly to the ball and then wait over it until i allow her to get it…gsp/border collie mix…i am using traits she’s hardwired for….she loves the stalking creep up on the ball game. watch your dog and exploit the natural traits

If you don’t have the time to train on the streets or you’re worried about being embarrassed you probably shouldn’t have a dog

@@LeerburgDogTraining wow. What I lovely canned response.

Like MOvie Dog adn true Tactical Dog Trainers--forget the auditory signal--why the focus on it? Dogs don't talk--humans project this--work with the canine strong signal system (visual)

Thanks!

I know I was thinking the same thing. I was like can the dog do all that without a treat or only with it.

@@jovani5366 Right, lol. If someone was waving a trillion dollars in front of my face maybe I might do some jumps through hoops...take that trillion away and I'll do whatever I feel like doing whenever.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com/

Jeff gets that a lot!

I actually have to bring my pup to school soooo I have to train him😂😂😂

Start asap. Earlier you start with a puppy the better (after weaning of course). Find what excites him whether it's a specific toy, certain treats, etc and use that as a reward for focusing on you

Yes - one of our Leerburg Instructors lives and has a training business in Tucson JJ Belcher. Sublime Canine. If you cant find him email out office and ask leerburg.com

Tawana xo after watching & working with my high energy labs, I’ve learned that they need to burn energy before they are calm enough to train. I run them with a ball for a while then work on training. They are able to focus better

Tina Caballero I’ll definitely try this

Any questions please contact Cindy at: leerburg.com/newcontact.php?cat=QA and she will get back to your promptly :)

Great questions Susanne! In our marker training system we use three key words to communicate with our dogs: YES (movement marker), GOOD (duration marker), NO/NOPE (correction marker). YES, to Sonny, means you've completed the behavior asked and you're free from that behavior to get your reward. In this video, had Jeff said GOOD, Sonny would have stayed in the sit position and Jeff would have went to Sonny to reward him. GOOD, to Sonny, means you've completed the behavior, stay in that behavior and Jeff would have went to him to reward. Jeff simply does not show the duration marker in this short video.

Some dogs naturally have strong eye contact, especially working dogs. An easy training method is simply rewarding them when they make eye contact with you.

Any training questions, please email Cindy on our contact page: leerburg.com/newcontact.php Under "Reason for Contact" select "Ask Cindy a Training Question

When I see people commenting about how their collie doesn't want to train or has anxiety, the #1 culprit is not enough exercise. go run your dogs get them somewhat tired before training with them, not a walk get on a bike and have them run a walk is a waste of time you need them to run. Once they are tired then start training.

My dog trainer uses beef lung. I bought a bag for $8 on Amazon lasts a good while and my dog loves them.
