I'm on my journey to Mal-dom (I haven't gotten one yet, doing research now and making sure I have everything it will take to give my pup the best life). My top two trainers are Andy and Eric Ita.

Yes! 💪🏼

Her food

Acana 👍🏻

For food yes!

Akitas have had multiple roles in their past. Japanese still use some of them as police dogs today. It takes more work because they get bored easily and can be downright stubborn, but if you stick at it you can train akitas to do anything.

I do not for this particular dog 🙌🏻

Thanks! This would not be a command, but rather how to train a dog who is reactive. I’d recommend watching/ listening to my Lives on this channel. Will help give you some perspective 🙏🏼

@@AndyKrueger thank you, will check those out. Please let me know if you remember which specific live video as there are a lot of them on your channel

I would treat him as though I’m training an 8 week old puppy. Start with absolute basics, luring, eye contact, building motivation/ engagement, regardless of age or experience! 👍🏻👍🏻

Yep!

Yep!

Yes 👍🏻

Hey! Nope that won’t lower the mental stim. As long as the dog understands their job and performs it reliably, the exact position is personal preference. Just make sure their shoulder does not cross in front of your hip 👍🏻

@@AndyKrueger thanks for the tip! Keep up the great work

He does not have an attention Heel.

I am always checking his heel 👍🏻 There’s a lot to adding another dog. Personally, I always walk one dog at a time 🙏🏼

Keeps their rear end nice and straight and prevents them getting crooked when anticipating the reward 👍🏻

@@AndyKrueger I figured it had something to do with forging because your rewarding behide you

@@jordanwalker7112 It keeps the dog nice and parallel 👍🏻

😂😂😂😂 That’s a good one! 😆

Eventually you'll have to overcome that. Can't just avoid distractions forever and say the dog can "heel"

I understand. My assessment would be that the dog is not good with heel if that’s the case 🙏🏼 If your dog can’t heel perfectly with a toy or ball rolling by, they’re definitely not ready for distractions that are live! 🙌🏻

@@AndyKrueger The reason they're not ready for distractions is probably because they aren't around many distractions. The more distractions, more frequently, the better is what I have found. Same with off leash training. Leash training and offleash training are separate things. People wait to off leash train until the dog is fully trained on the leash which is a big mistake imho My dog does better offleash than onleash. Luckily I didn't wait. He also had many things that distracted him. Luckily I didn't shy him away from those things otherwise he probably never woulda overcome it.

🙏🏼🙏🏼

But I am the only trainer in the history of the USA to achieve a French Ring 3 title, several times over, win 2 Decoy Super Selections and the only American to ever be invited to compete in France 😉

French ring 👊🏼

Master the basics. Engagement, luring, free shaping. Once those are in place the sky is the limit 🚀

@@PepeDeezNutz 😂😂😂

@@AndyKrueger Yes I do all of that with this dog of mine but he gets overstimulated with engagement and learning and forget tugging he’s over the edge

@@watchmoivies123 It’s the dog’s fault?

@@AndyKrueger no. Never

Right! Of course there are ways to fade out lures and rewards over time, but it usually is attempted when the dog is nowhere near ready!

@@AndyKrueger Like at the very beginning 🤦‍♀️

Nope! Personal preference! 🙌🏻

I genuinely do not believe stubborn dogs exist.

@@AndyKrueger he know we don’t want him to do something and he do it. For example every dinner I thought him that he should stay in his bed, he comes and sit under the table once I call his name without any command he go and sit on his bed, this happens daily, if I didn’t call he would stay. He know what he suppose to do but he choose to do something different, any many things similar .. like pee in the house and once I call his name he hide under the table , if I insist he comes to me he does and put his face down as he know he did wrong

@@ezzathanna1 In my opinion, he does not know it. Just different perspectives. It is never the dog’s fault, always the owner/trainer/ handler.

@@ezzathanna1 Do you believe the dog would be the exact same if I owned/ raised/ trained it from 8 weeks old until now?

@@AndyKrueger No, I have mist done something wrong, he is obedient in many all commands Sit, Down,stand, spin , touch, jump, speak, play dead , leave it, heal Some commands seems to be a struggle. Can’t fix it. Come , deal with visitors , meet other dogs, he was bought in pandemic socializing was not very available.

Haha exactly!!

I hope that’s a joke! 😂😂🙏🏼 I currently do not have a gear list

@@AndyKrueger no joke… just wondering what you recommend for leashes, collars, things for him to bite…. Etc

@@Redlegarty Would you mind sharing how I offend you? Just curious!

@@AndyKrueger I’ve been saying you offend me ever since I watched one of your videos and you casually said “ I hope I didn’t offend anyone “ as a joke. So ever since than I’ve said you offend me when I comment on your excellent videos. You have to admit you’re kind of offensive. Somewhat…

@@Redlegarty Hahaha! Yeah that’s fair 😆🙏🏼

Never mind, already heard answer to my question.

Meaning about the distractions during walking.

How long have you been working on this?

Been working hard on the engagement exercises since joining Patreon. Been attempting focus on the walk for a long time. Embarrassed to say, quite frankly. Changed up my tactics once I started watching your videos. I know I didn’t make training as fun as I should have because I would get a bit frustrated. I have changed that, too. I am trying to make myself high value but I haven’t yet convinced him that is always the case. I definitely messed that up in the beginning. His leash manners are getting better. What should I focus on the most? I just started using a tug this morning heeling in the yard. Was going to try it on a walk this evening. Still working on engagement with the tug. If he could,he would just take it and lay down. I have a long leash on him so he can’t. Still doesn’t seem to get the play concept. He’ll bring it to you a couple times and then just wants to take it away and hold it in his mouth. I keep trying to convince him I’m more fun! Ha!

In case you wanted an update on the park walk. Total fail. My husband went with us and he doesn’t go a lot. Hondo wouldn’t calm down or focus at all. All he would do is worry about which direction my husband went if he wasn’t right with us. Even if I stood in front of him he would look around my legs. And whine and whine. He does this if my husband has him and I move away, also. He had been doing much better the last couple of times we, meaning Hondo and myself. Put him in his crate when we got home.​@@AndyKrueger

I do, watch my other videos 🙂

8 weeks old.

@@AndyKrueger thanks

Freeze dried raw 👍🏻

Which kind? I have been researching and the market is crazy! They all claim to be the best! Have been feeding Zignature. But would like to know more about Freeze dried raw.

Haha! It is ‘Heel’ in French

@Andy Krueger Dog Training bro done taught his dog french ! Salute to that. I just bougth a German Shepard.. plan on training heel etc.. based off your videos

@@DSFiveO Awesome, thank you 🙏🏼 We compete in the French Ring Sport, therefore the French commands. A lot of GSD’s compete in IGP, a German protection sport, you should check it out 👊🏼

I get what you mean, but let’s be honest, they’re not actually children. Treating them as such can be very detrimental to them (by my standards, not yours). Would you think of a child as a dog? I hope not! So why think of a dog as a child?

​@@AndyKrueger LOL It's just an analogy brother. A better way i could have said it is I love my dogs like my kids. Truth is my dogs listen to me because I'm the leader of the pack and that's just the way it is. I currently have a beautiful 7 year old 17-month-old I set them up for success and their willingness to please.. and of course respect.

@@frankm4486 Which is why I said I get what you mean! 😆 But you seriously love dogs the same as your own children? 😳 Isn’t being the leader the same as being a boss??

@@AndyKrueger No it;s more like being a parent. A boss can fire an employee, but a parent must work the problems/ issues. Come on man... I'm not telling you anything you dont already know. Sheeeesh...!! LOL

I dont know why but my previous comment was incomplete. This is what I meant to say. LOL It's just an analogy brother. A better way i could have said it is I love my dogs like my kids. Truth is my dogs listen to me because I'm the leader of the pack and that's just the way it is. I currently have a beautiful 7 year old west German Showline GSD and a and a 17-month-old west german working line velociraptor dark sable GSD. They listen because I set them up for success and their willingness to please.. and ofcourse

You think?

Certainly not! 😆 This is what a healthy, food motivated dog looks like my friend 🙂

@@AndyKrueger can see his ribs is that just his build?

@@T.J-and-Soul If you can’t see a dog’s ribs they are very much overweight.

@@AndyKrueger yes I'm actually just learning that. Thank you so much for answering Bro

No that’s not true. You can get big motivation for food, even out of mutts, as long as their diet is correct!

@@AndyKrueger I’m sure if they have that kind of drive. Most are no equipped with the motor patterns or skills.

@@benjaminAgagne Dogs or handlers?

You’ve misunderstood the title. I said I take my dog for a walk and use rewards and no corrections.

@@AndyKrueger Sounds good. Kind of pointless though when their are 0 distractions. What's the benifit of not correcting the dog during traing?

@@killa-ma-jig7281 What is your deal? Go split hairs and spread your negativity somewhere else. This dude could wipe the floor with you with his little finger and his eyes closed, especially when it comes to dog training. Don't be a douche

This is a very common misconception. I understand how you could think that, but you are reading the dog incorrectly. For example, most people think a dog wagging his tail means ‘happy!’ BUT, that same tail wag could mean the dog is about to attack something. Just bc it CAN mean happy, doesn’t mean it ALWAYS means happy. Ears back CAN mean a dog has been over pressured, but also CAN mean the opposite. There are many LEVELS when it comes to one’s ability to READ a dog. Another example and some food for thought; a person laughing CAN indicate that they are experiencing joy, BUT, a lot of people laugh when they feel nervous or uncomfortable. They layman could see the laugh and think, that person must be happy!! But in reality they could be on an awkward date and feel wildly uncomfortable!

To me, he is waiting in anticipation for what is next. High level focus and waiting for next command. I see nothing but confidence. Nothing insecure about him.

No I’m not a breeder. Also just some advice, if you are looking for a puppy and lead with the question ‘how much?’ 99.99% of breeders won’t even respond.
