See everything I do in our most intense dog training session yet! 

Congratulations!! You're in a for a HUGE challenge - and one of the coolest things you can do in life!

Congrats on your new dog!! You’ll love it!

Congrats !!!!

Congrats. Unluckily I'm never getting one. My Mum doesn't like any big animal in the house. Doesn't mind other peoples but just doesn't like them in the house.

Cat Muffin I feel sorry for you 😔😔 high hopes tho!!

Biggest lie ever told is "you can't teach an old dog new trick" :)

Florian REINHART I’m planning on trying to work with my dog as well she is almost 2 though

Border Collies are cuter as adults than as puppies, imo.

Emma Blomqvist agreed

That's great advice! In my opinion dogs should be allowed to sniff on most walks. Sometimes it can be hard to stop a puppy from pulling. For example, we don't have a fenced in yard so our puppy was outside on a leash from day one. We also have a lot of different people walking her, and I cannot get them all to follow no-pulling rules (sigh!). We are not super strict about pulling when she has her harness on, but use a flat collar for proper leash training (with people that will not let her pull), so now she knows to walk nicely with the collar but when we use her harness she can do more of the stuff she loves.

we shouldn't take their cuteness rejection too personally....maybe they thumbs down so their dash isn't consumed with super old vids RU-vid suggests?

His names Zak but ok

In five days so much 👏👏

😍 They are awsome❤

Wow!! Labs are great and I'm sure you're showing him tons of love, play and affection!!

You taught her The entire game of fetch in five days? Wow.

Jessi Ka haha I have a feeling that dog will never stop pulling

@@papuzka0 I have doubts with his way to train dogs, but I am curious to see if it's really efficient 😁

@@sportpfoten143 It can't be efficient. He doesn't know how when or where to get engagement. He is inconsistent about what he expects behaviorly on cues. He is inconsistent on the cues he uses, he is inconsistent on withholding reward for unwanted, unsafe behavior. He constantly sabotages his conditioned reinforcer, he has desensitized her to leash and collar pressure, and uses the harness incorrectly. Its all quite sad that people are trying to learn from him. It's a disservice to countless pets and pet owners.

@@Ethan-um7cp Do you have any recommendations for RU-vidrs, books, websites or anything I can learn from to train a dog correctly. I'll be getting my first puppy in a few weeks and I've been researching in various ways but have mainly been watching this series and I've noticed lots of inconsistencies between different trainers. I'd really appreciate any suggestions because I want to make sure I get things right from the start

@@zeno9580 Good luck to you, I have no easy answers. I think all the trainers out there give good suggestions. But the most important thing is how you structure the free time. It must relate to your training methods. I like susan garrett and michael ellis for behavioral concepts. But how you live with your dog makes so much difference. There are plenty off concepts that fail, if you your dog runs free at home.

Hahaha awesome. Do you have a link to this? Wouldn't mind watching it? Thanks

My hubby and I are in the same situation with our 5 month old border collie pup. @Kelly Sinclair

Also she's a big handful on walks as we're training her not to rush towards other dogs so excitingly

@@helenet5348 bella is more excited about people and needs to say hello to everyone she sees the biggest problem at the moment is she doesn't like 2 sleep much for her age does your pup?

Oh yes my pup can be like that with people too but I only notice it more when they excitingly engage with her but it's more dogs that excite her. She tends to be a light sleeper but will go into deep sleep if I go for a good walk with lots of distractions and play fetch for a little bit in my big backyard. During the day she doesn't nap much only really sleeps at night

@@helenet5348 same mine always sleeps good at night but not much during the day they say puppies should be getting 18/20 hours sleep a day that's not working with my 4month old pup

Lol Indy

Dog beds: the plush toy dogs dream of

@@corettaha7855 haha. At least she hasn't done anything to it since.

🤣 hahaha that’s what I thought to

@@JP-we9rv that balloon on the bench is not random. lol

The gentle leader is a great tool if you're in a situation where your dog might pull despite being trained not to, but it's not really teaching the dog not to pull when you take it off. Using a tool that pulls your dogs' head to the side on every walk can cause them to use their bodies wrong, especially when they are still young, so you still need to train your dog to walk to heel instead of trying to go forward and being stopped by the gentle leader turning their head to the side. I have a front-clip option on my dog's harness that I use if we are around lots of people and she gets too exited. It works great to stop her from pulling and walk nicely through a crowd, but her body stays kinda crooked and she does not use her front legs freely, so I switch back to using the clip on her back as soon as possible. In short, using a gentle leader can be a good option (although maybe not all of the time), but pay attention to how your dog uses their body when they wear it and don't forget to also teach proper leash walking on a flat collar or a standard harness.

Bumble Bee in a way it does actually hurt the dog, and I would never ever use one especially on a puppy because, yes it works in a way that minimizes pulling, but could cause deformities in the dog because it causes the stride of the dog to be abnormal (since it is so close to the the dogs shoulders that the dog can’t walk normally) therefore the dog walks slower which equals less pulling but because it causes unusual movement in the dog, the harness could cause detrimental harm to the front legs in the long run

THIS. I don't think people realise just how high drive working line collies are. I have one inertias age and it's a full time job. Zak is doing great!

You said it very well!!

I agree with all these comments. My 5 month old border collie is a handful and people don't realize how much energy these dogs really have. There's so many times I have to tell people that I'll be here all day if I leave my dog playing with yours on our walks. Biggest pet peeve is other people telling me it's okay that my dogs jumping on them.

@@helenet5348 oh my god, its not just me that happens to multiple times a day? It's so frustrating when I've put hours of training into keeping four paws on the ground then some random who is probably petting my dog without asking me goes and undoes all that work.

I hear you, the struggle is real. Plus I'm dealing with one of the highest energy breeds and smartest which makes it even more of a chore to train them when others encourage those bad habits.

Take some stuff (toys, dog bed, treats, pee pad, water) from inside and put them just outside the door, have your dog on a long leash so he can choose where he wants to be. Sit down outside with the door open and read a book or check your phone, don't call him, and don't give attention to him if he is not showing interest in the door. Calm praise and treats if he looks at, comes closer to, or goes through the door. (Don't try to lure him further out with the treats, throw them inside where he feels safe so he can practice getting closer to the outside many times). If you live in an apartment, tell your neighbors beforehand so they know what's up. When you're able to hang out with your dog a little further from the door, you could also offer a safe place like a crate to go into in case anything scary that is out of your control happens. Just make sure the treats, toys and attention from you happen outside the crate. Keep the sessions fairly short, by taking him in when he starts to enjoy himself you'll keep him wanting more. Make the inside of your home a little more boring than the outside. If possible, feed all meals close to the door or outside. Your dog has more or less passed his early socialization stage, which means you'll have to work very hard to make him have positive associations with everything he encounters outside. All of his food should be used for training, put away his food bowl. As soon as there is a sound, sight or smell that you think might be new to him, give him calm praise and treats. Repeat this enough times that you are sure the dog does not mind the stimuli and then go on to only praise for that stimuli. Do not go too close to scary stuff, looking from a distance is better at first. If you encounter any problems, call a trainer that uses only positive reinforcement methods a.s.a.p.

Megan Mixon Bless she is only tiny so I would keep taking her out every hour to potty then she will know she should only go outside it’s what I had to do with 3 puppies and at 4 months old they go to the door now when they want to go out it’s not easy but really worth it praise her big time even with a biscuit when she goes it works.Good luck Megan.💕

It is generally not advised to keep toys out when dogs are playing together, unless they know each other well and you are sure there won't be a problem. Many dogs are completely fine around toys and other dogs, but some dogs just are not. Throwing balls and sticks is a big no-no unless you ask first. You can train your dog to give their prized possession to you and then put it away to stop a fight breaking out over it. Otherwise it is safer to remove the dog that is trying to get to the toy than to approach a dog that his defending something.
