I love this! I know not all owners are comfortable showing their own learning on camera, but seeing Derrick learning instead of *just* the trainers was a really nice bonus and helped a lot! Thanks Derrick!
Holy cow. I tried this with my 3y.o. rescue pitbull. No food. just a tug on the lead, with 'leave it'... after 4x she got it. That and I watched the video on how to deal with barking... I responded once to her alert barking and now im the leader of her pack. big thanks
I am so happy to have found your channel! All of the trainers are amazing and very kind in helping the pet’s mom or dad learn how to correctly deliver whatever they are trying to help their dog to learn. All the trainers’ attention to detail and timing is amazing. Thank you so much for great tutorials and to all the pet parents that let you videotape their training session. A VERY big thank you to everyone involved! ❤️😊🐾
Carole this is great. I own a Mali mix. Smart smart smart dog, but tons of repetition. Repetition builds phenomenal bond, too. Love your style, Carole. Great seeing you!
So THAT's where I've been making a mistake - waiting for her to pull on the leash before trying to redirect! Thank you so much for this video! I've been raising Hera (1.4 y.o) with the help of your free videos (~400$ for a course - which I'd love to attend, because I'm sure I still make a lot of mistakes in spite of my previous dog experience - is just not affordable to me from Serbia :( ), and those of Zak George. She is the best-behaved dog in the parks, but we still have a long way to go since she's novelty-fearful/reactive, resource-guarding pup with separation anxiety. :(
Thanks for posting this, I found it very helpful. I really appreciated this particular video because it involved showing a novice pet parent and a newly adopted dog. Sometimes I get frustrated with watching your training videos because they involve only the highly skilled trainer and a seemingly well-behaved (pre-trained?) dog.
I fish so I need my black lab to not chase everything he sees 1. Don’t say “what’s that, what is it, get it” when we see a small animal 2. When we do see a small animal I shoot out a quick “no” when I see him fixate. He soon ignores it and continues 3. Don’t buy your dog “small animal” toys. This helped greatly. He never saw the animals as a toy or something to want
This has been a challenge when my dogs spot dropped food when out and about. They'll leave their food bowls until given the command to eat, but outside is a different story. We're working on it though, as lots of dogs have become sick or have died in my area due to people poisoning food and leaving it on popular walking routes 😡 they're on-lead dogs for now until they're 100% with the leave command
I have an 11 week puppy I've started to teach her restraint. And we're still working on our basics. What should we have mastered before moving on to leave it?
How did you get them to eat the food outdoors? Even when we're indoors sometimes my dog just doesn't seem to care about the food. He still gets distracted. What kind of food do you use for them?
I have 2 dogs that bark at everything. When they’re in the backyard they’re barking at squirrels, birds, people and dogs walking by. I gave up trying to teach because of the neighbor’s dogs. They bark at everything so I can’t imagine I’ll get mine to stop. 🤷♀️ Great video though!
My puppy never has accidents but when I take him to the dog park and we get back I give him a chance to use the bathroom outside but he doesn’t but ends up having an accident in his cage what should I do should I stop giving him a lot of water at the dog park??
I recently got a puppy and she won’t go outside. I open the door and she stays inside even when I try to lure her. If she does get out the front door she’ll stay on the steps and won’t go onto the grass or sidewalk. Any suggestions on how to help her?
That wasn’t ideal practice for the leave it command. You want to have multiple different distractions not just going up to the same one over and over, Luna knew she was being fed after a few repititions and the exercise was pointless after that. Try having new people go by another dog or something that actually stimulates her next time and it will be MUCH more effective than repeating the same uninteresting distraction.
My dog is like that 🙈 it's a night mare taking her for a walk in the neighborhood.... She wants to fight with all dogs and she chases lizards and anything that moves and she absolutely hates cats 🤷🏼♀️
Full positive only traing jesus...u will do these things for years and your dog will dont care...the worst training method. Check Tom David for real results.
