Don't forget to show your love and give a THUMBS UP if you think the video deserves it :) We appreciate it greatly as it helps the video to reach more people and their dogs.

Thanks for this excellent brush up. Attention is everything.

Magically, this is the exact behaviour I was trying to learn to teach my dog today and then your video popped up in my feed. Thanks for the info.

Awesome! Good luck! :)

This is great. I like the calming aspect of this too. Saw some nice eye blinking, chance in ear position. Now need to build duration. A work in progress.

I absolutely love your videos. They are fast and concise making them so easy for me to watch and learn from. In preparation for pup coming in the summer I know I can set aside time to watch this playlist several times, and I will definitely be re-visiting all of these videos throughout training. Thank you for putting in the effort to make these wonderful videos.

Very helpful. Just started working on this the last few days with our ten week old pup.

Thank you so much. Will be trying with my puppy today!!

Just found your channel and I love your videos! I’ve been struggling with my 5 month old whippet so I hope your techniques help. Thank you.

I found this very helpful

Your videos are the best! My dog and I have learned a lot in 2 years. Thank you! For this simple eye contact game, is it best to have them in a down stay and you bring the treat to them while they hold the down stay? Thanks again.

My partner & I just love your vids. I am a psychologist, a people trainer, and I still pick up great tips from you. You ALWAYS get a thumbs up from us. :) And a fresh piece of baked chicken.

After training Buddy, my wife and I had a child. We laughed when we caught ourselves using this same type of training with our daughter! - couldn't help it, this training lends itself to all species.

I have a service dog and have found that a lot of people in public will make an unwanted kiss noise at my dog as I pass. I have trained her to ignore such noises. I would choose a different noise than kissy if your dog has a low attention span and you want their attention in places especially like public. I mark my dogs eye contact as she offers it so it will be encouraged all throughout the day. I love your videos! They keep me heading in the right direction. :)

Good point. Here in san diego, no one has ever made a kissy noise at my dogs. But they have made squealing or "Awww!" noises, whistling and most annoying telling their kids to bark at my dogs. So I actually did work on people barking as a distraction because it used to scare my youngest dog. Yes, don't choose a kissy noise if the place where you live people are trying to distract your dog with the noise (unless you have a shy dog that you want to learn to like strangers, because in that case its great if the strangers are making a noise that the dog likes)

Lovely advice as always. I recommend your channel to all dog owners I come across if they need help with training. Especially if they are getting a puppy.

Good luck! :) It's ok if he looks at the treat in your hand when you are luring a behavior like a sit or a down. :) So you can still use the behavior of him looking at the treat in your hand for that.

Me: I'll never be able to teach my dog to look at me she just keeps looking at the treats. Als me after watching this 3 minute video an practicing for 5 minutes: yes we did it!

@kikopup

5 жыл бұрын

Great questions :) Email me at dogmanticsstore@gmail.com and remind me of your question. But very basically- When you train eye contact without using any forms of intimidation it can build your relationship and trust between you and your dog. Its also a great way to interrupt undesirable behavior in the future. Check out this video on how to interrupt behavior using an attention noise- kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnaqssOqfb3fn5s.html For raising criteria, and what you should demand from your dog- the answer is "it depends". A very very simplistic method is if the dog gets a behavior right 3 times and seems extremely confident, raise criteria a little, then go back on the next trial to the old criteria. Then depending on how hard the task is (if it involves a lot of physical effort) flip flop between difficult and easy. So with the eye contact if your dog is great at 5 seconds, you could do 5 seconds 1 second 3 seconds 8 seconds 3 seconds. Basically you are reinforcing on an average of 5 seconds and trying to increase the average. When your dog struggles 3 times in a row… that’s when I suggest to definitely lower criteria. But it depends a dog could get something wrong 1 time and I myself might go back and make things easier but 3 times is a definite the dog has no clue the training plan needs to be modified.

Teaching eye contact, as entry to clicker training, teaches the dog the parameters of clicker training. I aimed at 30 seconds (too long to be useful). Buddy went on walks off-leash, as he got ten times the exercise. I discovered he would "check-in" with me about every 8 seconds. Though it didn't look it, our walks were very intimate.

Thank you for your tutorials they re very helpful Question, is it ok if the dog looks at the hand that gonna give the treat right after I say ''Yes'' ?

Hi! I absolutely love your videos and find them very helpful. I wish I could apply them to my recently rescued border collie, but my problem is he's deaf. Now, after 3 months together, I started taking his leash off when there are other dogs around. But I'm scared maybe at some point he will see a car or start running away because no reason. How can I train eye contact with him? He sometimes, look at me, but it's not something often and so he's deaf, I can't say out loud his name. Any thoughts or suggestions on that? Any help is deeply appreciated

Regardless if a dog is deaf or not, I would not take their leash off until they have a reliable recall. Its just not worth it. It can endanger their safety and also after practicing it it can become a life long habit to run off. I dont suggest any dog should be off leash until youve proofed a reliable recall. What you can do instead is have the dog on a long line attached to a back clipping harness. Then use common sense and take care- because the longline can give you rope burn around any bare skin if the dog were to run and it wraps around. Research walking on a long line before using one for safety precautions. You can get a vibrating collar to teach a deaf dog to recall to you, you can also teach them to stay within a certain distance and keep an eye out for you- which is a safer method and something easier for a border collie than a beagle. Using a long line can help teach the dog to stay withing 10 - 15 feet of you on a walk as a first step. For eyecontact someone already actually asked about that and here is my reply- Honestly I have not worked with many deaf dogs. If you wanted to teach your dog to look at you you could just mark any moment your dog looks at your face through out the day with a hand flash, wave or thumbs up followed by a treat. Or in training sessions like this one kzread.info/dash/bejne/l52Bqax7qLXacto.html And then add a visual cue to look at your face like pointing at it. However... Honestly, unless you want to give your dog information with your facial expressions (like blinking, yawning or smiling at your dog) its not as important as if they dog is listening for verbal cues. You could teach a wave gesture to mean "look in my direction and wait for next cue" But for me it would be totally acceptable if the dog is then focused on the hand that I do hand signals with.

I have a question for you. I just started watching your videos and I absolutely love them. I see you have/train multiple dogs at a time. I have to pups, brother and sister 6mo. Anytime the brother has ANYTHING the sister doesn't, she immediately begins barking until he gets bored and walks away leaving the toy/treat/bone for her. She will ever attempt to take the item, but will instead continuously bark. She will not respond to my commands unless I remove her from the situation. What would be the best way to train/fix this?

@kikopup

I suggest teaching the cue "leave it" kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJ6NyK2EYZrActY.html this video goes over leave it from another dog. Next time they get something you can have the female in a leash and harness and if she doesnt listen simply move her (after practicing the leash pressure game- kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2iqp8OyorXfcpM.html ) I believe to prevent undue stress in a mutli dog house, we have to step in and teach the dogs rules, like "if someone is eating something leave them alone". On the rare occasions dogs can get on really well and be polite with each other, but most often they get reinforced for things that can then turn into bad habits that are unfair for the other dogs. So I suggest teaching either a default leave it- never bother other dogs with food- or until then, cuing the dog "leave it" when you see the dog hovering and staring, and then say "go to your bed" or something else the dog can do.

In terms of the smoothness of the cooperation, the most important thing is good contact between the dog and the handler: it is the basis of all training. There is a lot of talk about contact, but it is not only the dog looking at its handler. That's why I wouldn't use the often used term "eye contact". Contact includes mutual trust and a desire to work together. It is more mental than physical. The demands are not only on the dog but also on the person: if you expect the dog to focus on you, you must also focus on your dog. It is of the utmost importance to strengthen the dog's voluntary contact throughout the initial training. If you entice the dog to make contact, it will not be there in the future, unless you entice the dog to do so. That wouldn't be very useful. Otherwise, from the point of view of further training, it is extremely convenient if the dog offers contact itself. This is used when the dog is taught to tolerate disturbances and to pass people or other dogs.

I'm sure Emily is a great dog trainer. But most of her videos seem to be perfectly behaved dogs being fed treats. I'd like to see one of her with my (sometimes) obnoxious 10-week old Boston Terrier.

Great video! Would i be able to do this without a clicker?

Yes you can follow all my videos without a clicker, you just use a marker word, whistle or tongue click in place of the click sound - kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2p2j7NtXdHXfso.html

Can you mark with a word instead of a clicker?

Hello! I love your videos! ❤ I just wish I came across then earlier when I first got my rescue 8 months ago. QUESTION She's just over a year old now and whenever I make the kissy sound, her eyes shift to me for a split second then back to my hand (loves food) so I moved the food and clicker to behind my back so she has nowhere to look but me. Her head stays in place but her eyes shift to look away at anything. I click when she looks at me (really hard to catch) but she always looks away before I can feed the treat even with the sigh, I find I have to sigh multiple times to turn her head/ look back at me. I can't get her to look at me for longer than a second, her eyes are always shifting even if her head won't move.. But other times around the house when I don't ask for her attention she will stare me down and make eye contact (usually when she needs something - walk, food, petting, go to her kennel, cuddles) how do I fix this? Sidenote - do you have an appropriate mailing address where I can ask questions? I have no trainer and my rescue is pretty hard to work with 😭

I suggest that you proof the attention. I dont have a public video on it, but basically you hold the treats and constantly move them around in your hand, mark the moment your dog looks back at you and then extend the time your dog looks.

@@kikopup Omg I can't believe you replied! thank you so much oh my gosh 😊❤😭

So your cue for “look at me” is the kissy sound?

In one of your older videos you had mentioned using that kissing sound to distract them from something instead of "no" or "ah ah" and this reminded me of a few questions I had about that. How does that not reinforce unwanted behavior when they get a treat every time they do it? Also why would you want to train them to give eye contact with a kiss sound when saying "eyes" or "attention" has the added benefit of them learning to respond to your voice specifically?

@kikopup

Well in a real life scenario, where the dog is doing something you dont like, you wouldn't give them a treat, you can redirect them to a more appropriate behavior. The main way that behaviors change, is by reinforcing the behaviors you do want your dog to do. I like to teach a noise that always sounds the same, because clients tend to put their emotion into their dogs cues. When they are annoyed at their dog and interrupt them from something, they usually have an intimidating tone of voice without being conscious of it. They can never put intimidation into a kissy noise. Also people who tend to repeat their cues or dogs name- "fluffy! fluffy! fluffy! FLUFFY!!!!!!!!" usually when making a kissy noise, if it doesnt work the first two times, the person then realizes it doesnt work... instead of aimlessly repeating it.

So my dog is so treat motivated that he will only look at my hands. Even if I don’t have a treat. I’ve tried making the kissing noises and even some others but he is mainly focused on my hands or bag, looking for treats. How do I get him to look at me when all he will look at are the treats or my hands?

@kikopup

One thing you could do is while you are sitting on the couch watching tv, you make the noise or a blowing noise or whatever, say pup pup! In a high pitched voice. And when you see the dog look at your face use a marker word then get up and get the treat from the fridge. It might take quite a few repetitions for the dog to look at your face. Some dogs just naturally dont look at our faces. A lot of little dogs tend to read us by the movement of our legs.
