I can see all the mistakes I'm making from watching your videos. In terms of leaving the puppy; I think my puppy is about 13 weeks or so (he was a rescue, so I have zero intelligence on him, including his mix breed), but I have to go to meetings and church. The longest I've left him is for 4 hours. What do I do if I need to go places and he's not of age to be left alone?

When training dogs always remember "be the leader not the boss" Meaning: a leader is someone who brings out the best in you, helps you when you make mistakes, and motivates you to work harder. While a boss just tells you what to do and when to do it.

So basically what an alpha dog does. You can call it whatever you want

In my opinion a great dog owner is basically being a parent to a toddler. You guide them, teach them, and protect them, expect them to make mistakes and have the patience to correct them. Lead by example i. E. Be fair don't tease them or ignore negative behavior, but give them reasons to listen to you. Outside of training, walk on the outside on a busy street, if you're unsure of other animals, get between them etc. . Give lots of affection but establish boundaries. If you're going to spoil them, make them earn it. If they don't listen, just be assertive, don't hit them(if my dog tries to grab food,*she rarely does unless it to test boundries* I just grab their snout and say No!! And make her go to their place and she sits and talks back, but she listens and when I'm done they get a last bite or a treat) dogs learn by watching and being rewarded. You'll know you've done your job, when they do things without being told. And if you're unsure, listen to these guys.

Spot on but you miss a very important thing.. listen to them and learn their language. That creates deep connection.

I got a dog a few weeks ago, a mixed breed who is a real sweetheart. She’s got a lot of energy and strength though. Which is good for me! She’s challenging me to be more assertive and take more of a leader role. Hoping that employing these tips will be a huge help in training her!

I got doggo from shelter And I have the same problem..She Is still challenging me and positioning herself to Alfa role..She Is never trianed And very stubborn when learning. We still cannot go throu this problem. I checked many videos many advices from Facebook group And people straight in park...but nothing works...not even treats.

I think crate training is really underrated. We crated our first dog for the first year before slowly giving her free reign of the house because that's what she needed (we got her when she was 10 months old) before we could trust her to not be destructive. Second dog (she was one when we got her), hardly needed to be crated at all before we could let her loose inside the house. It really depends on the individual dog and what they may have been trained with before you go them. Both dogs still loved using their crates even after we stopped crating them. It became their "room". Now, the crate just sits with the door open so the dog can go in anytime she wants to.

Really great techniques and easy to follow and understand, would love to see more footage of dog training aswell, thanks for such a fabulous site

Alpha by definition, as an adjective, yes: a socially dominant animal. You achieve this, I'm sure your about to explain (I haven't watched yet), by being consistent with your direction/leadership, and by meeting their physical/mental needs. You dominate them, without dominating them. edit: watched it. subscribed. You're putting a great message out there, and have a very strong philosophy. I'm sure your clients are happy with their investment. Hopefully they take it seriously.

I can honestly say that this program is the best thing that has ever happened to me and my furry friend.

Thank you for all your valuable info , I adopted a one yr old American Eskimo full of energy, Well, he has no training, i know i have some work cut out for me . I got Toby from someone whom kept him outside at night and most days i figure., he is skittish of alot things but a sweetie, he just never had training. So here we go

Thank you so much for this video. Do you have any advice for when the dog guards the leash? My dog changes his mood completely and tries to bite when he has a leash on indoors

Hello, I just got a blue heeler puppy, and I’m struggling. I’m willing to learn, I can see myself being more stern, I’m going to change that

I was in a financial rut when I got my current dog (almost 9 months old), but I just couldn't let her stay at a byb's. That is the reason I couldn't set the basics well from the start, because I didn't have a crate or any other means of limiting her movements around the house except the house leash. Plus she's fearful/anxious and it makes everything more difficult and frustrating. How long do you think will it take me to retrain her? 😓 Also, I worked with her since day one on manners such as leash walking, not jumping at (on?) people and controlling her bite, and so far she only (mostly) stopped jumping on me, and as soon as she gets even slightly excited, her bite control goes out the window. She also keeps vacuum-cleaning everything outside, and licking EVERYTHING (clothes, wall corners, doors, chair, like, what the heck?!).

I have watch a couple of your videos and think I have completely messed up my puppies training, he is now 14 weeks and there is alot of things you guys have mentioned that I have not done. 😕

Bunny poo. My yard is covered in it and my dog is obsessed with eating it. She is now 2 1/2. Used a long line in the yard for a very long time. She does well so I take the leash off to say do agility training...ooooh bunny poo! Working on bunny proofing the yard but apparently they are all fur and can fit through 1”x2” wire.

Kayl, Ken, I love your approach to training and the general idea of being an 'inspiring leader' to our dogs! That said, I still think there must be space in our approach that contemplates the possibility of more assertive corrections. What do you think? Imho, that should not be a taboo concept, as there are cases in which they are needed and much useful, especially with dogs with previously ingrained problems and certain kind of breeds. In those cases, some level of raised assertiveness or 'alpha-mode on' is really key to behavioural problem solving. This is *not* to say though that we should use any excess force or default constant dominance, as 'alpha' by definition *is not* being an unstable, arrogant bullying boss (though some trainer and owners wrongly so intend and operate). It's nature: just as a mother teaches her puppies also by bites, growls and pushes at times, *if need be* (and just as a good inspiring coach knows who when and how to be more firm with). Dogs understand that, no trauma at all, relationship grow stronger, as long as the rules are fair and consistent, and correction is given at the right time using the minimum satisfactory force considering the situation and the specific dog personality.

When my parents died i took responsibility over our 2 huskies. The first week with them I saw a stray dog in front of our porch, i called my dogs back and ran with a stick in my hand yelling loud to the stray dog, just because institution told me to do that for their safety. My dogs were so happy and licking me etc, probably because i showed them im fit and ready for them as new alpha. But really, i only did that out of love for them just like a parent for its child.

This was actually helpful. The other videos I found before it were all super pc seeming, kind of a lack of discipline. This has a nice balance. Not spoiling the dog and not be aggressive but having authority over the situation in healthy manner. Having a dog is like having a toddler but also they are not human being they are both under our care and an animal not above a child. And they aren't dumb, as long as you're not blindly and abusingly discipling in anger, they, like toddlers, get that you're trainingvthem in the way to go about things.

Hi, i have a young staffie pup who is coming along nicely but he gets way too excited around my three year old jumping and biting clothes and nipping, he is ok outside when they run after the ball but in the kitchen (the only room he has access to) he cant control himself and then gets nippy with me, any help would be great, also i love your videos they have really helped me

Loved all these videos. I think I made a mistake giving my dog too much freedom at the beginning (I adopted her a month ago). She isn't destroying (👍) but when she's alone, she takes everything from the shelf (shoes, gloves, magazines 😓). Is it too bad if I take her "rights" off now? She isn't crate trained (my second mistake apparently) but I thought I could limit her space in the kitchen with a dog gate. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all these videos!

Hi, absolutely love your videos and they help me but my 4 month old Lakeland Terrier isn’t cooperating, probably me but he’s a stubborn guy. He was already crate trained so he sleeps there every night and we use a pen for time out when he nips and bites. I notice in America you use small closed crates, I bought a recommended wire crate, there’s so much conflicting advice out there. His behaviour is good one day bad the next, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Just trying the down command has been so challenging. Do you train for short periods (5 minutes say) and for how many days, is this dependent on when he gets it and move on to next training or do you continue with this for several days please? I’m also worried about him getting fat with all the reward treats so I have knocked down his allowance - is this safe - and I’m using your cheese and tuna recipe.

He has bit me in the face multiple times without warning or provocation (I know it’s in his breed, he gets lots of stimulation and exercise, we have a Australian shepherd too but she’s very sweet and understands my rules and boundaries) and he broke skin twice and made me bleed. He only acts like a dominant alpha when Jordan is not home. I don’t know what to do, if you see this PLEASE help!

Shes jumping, when she jumps time your back and ignore her. When she stops and starts to find you boring praise her and reward her. Same thing with biting to be honest: make your fingers really boring and make an 'ah' sound short and sharp to distract her. When she lets go immediately reward her.

I have a 4 month puppy ,, she bites alot,(the bites arenr playful , they feel aggressive) she growls when I pick her up, I feed her but she doesnt see me as the leader. I'm so confused ,, how should i start?

Do you have any help for how to stop dogs barking? My dog Luna goes off her tree whenever she hears the slightest noise.

I'm uncertain how much supervised time each day my puppy should be getting out of her room (the mudroom which has her crate, food, water, toys, etc). She requires my total focus otherwise instantaneously seeks mischief, jumps on the toddlers, or pees with glee. She does much better when we are all in the backyard aside from wanting to eat my strawberry plant's leaves.

I’m sorry but that’s just semantics. You’re taking leadership role, you take control about what they can or cannot do, you’re the one calling the shot, you become the leader of the pack, you’re the alpha.

Great video! Would be happy to have some advice on how to deal with my junior. I really don't know how to handle the situation. I have an 8 month old miniature schnauzer that is not very fond of strangers. He doesn't like being pet or talk to by other people. He starts barking at them and tries to nip them. On the leash I can handle him and if not approach by strangers, he behaves and ignores everyone. The real issue is when I let him off the leash in a park that is not fenced. I let him loose because there are many dogs that he befriended and plays everyday with them. So...sometimes he runs toward strangers that are passing by and starts barking at them. He doesn't bite, but he scares them :) His bark is not aggressive, but more like territorial, as I have learned. Very fast bowwowowowow :)).

Hi there, anca an! You should put him back on a leash or long line until you’re getting consistent results. Even if it happens once in 10 times off leash, it means that there is an opportunity to train through it. Having him on a long-line somewhere near the park will be a good place to start a working on this behavior. This may be something that takes a while to fix, with lots of repetition and consistency. Or it could take just a couple of reps with good timing and clear information. Using your “Leave It” could be helpful with this skill. But until he’ s 100% reliable, you need to have him on a leash or a long-line so you can step in and show him how to be right. Thanks for watching! ~Ken

He has drawn blood alot, I've lost my patience. I got a deterrent spray but only helps for a few seconds. I've had rottweilers b4 but never had these issues this bad. He does listen to a certain point. If he picks something up off the ground that he shouldn't be eating he nips and bites when he can't have it. Especially on the leash he flops down and almost like he is throwing a fit. I have to make him walk away from me to stop him from biting my legs. He does sit and wait when I ask him to, so I'm super confused and frustrated. When I say ouch when he bites me he stops for a few seconds and continues it. How do I stop this, I want him to be a well behaved pup b4 he gets to be an adult.

I'm no expert but I would say be firm, be calm, and be patient. Make sure she only gets rewarded when she does exactly what you say. A first step could be practicing controlling her movement (walk one direction, then change whenever you feel like it) -- she'll start to learn you call the shots, and she should look to you for direction. Use whatever she wants as a treat -- ie: before I open the door to go outside, I always make my dog sit (so she's not running out the door). Now she does it without me asking. Same with putting on the leash. Good luck!

Hi there, I have a 8 week old pup and he is teething so biting me and my wife is very common and biting on the couch and carpet is common as well. Whenever he bites either of us we just push his face gently away from us as if you are distracting him. We also use loud voice like NO or STOP the second he nibs on either of us or our guests. It took us a week or two to train him to not bite us but furniture biting was still a problem. We used the deterrent spray but he got immune to it. So we got a vibrating collar from amazon and with a remote control whenever he bites the furniture we just press a button and the collar vibrates which distracts him and which inturn associates nibbling or biting with a vibration on the neck. The collar also has a shock button but we refrain from using it unless he becomes a year or two old and starts barking or scaring kids or other adults. I have seen many youtube videos where people give treats and stuff to their dogs to distract them from biting but guess what, one day he will get immune to it and you will run out of treats. Sometimes punishment is required when it comes to dangerous things like biting or barking aggressively.

Rasy Chea he’s or she’s a puppy. It’s normal. They’ll grow out of biting because it’s from teething. But barking you have to teach him no as a negative command and yes as a positive. Don’t yell loud at it, then they just wonder why you’re angry. You have to teach the command and then when they do something you can correct them with the command. But if you wanna stop biting you can pretty much do the same thing. Or play with them. Cos that’s why they’re biting you. Give them a toy or something else to play with or just get a little play time with them

When you have a puppy they want to explore everything around them. The only way they can smell and get to know everything is through licking and biting. See your puppy as a toddler you have to learn and train him wich behaviour you accept or wich you don't. Please remove the collar youre describing its not gonna work. Each day have 4 training sessions of a few minutes with your puppy. Pet him if he doesnt bite praise him and give him a treat and raise your voice and say good girl. If he bites during petting or playing. Stop petting or playing and ignore him. Teach him he will gain nothing with biting. Just keep in mind its a puppy he needs to learn and you need to teach. Search up some tutorials how to train your puppy read about it. Cause if your dog doesn't behave the way you want its your fault. So train hard and put lots of time in teaching.

Hi there! I love the fact that you are working toward your training goals, with realistic expectations! One thing I would absolutely do is begin to teach your pups to enjoy some alone time in their crate. The ideal situation would be if each pup had their own crate. If that isn't a possibility, then having one dog hang out in their crate while you train the other dog will be a great way to reduce the amount of distraction, and create a little more order while you're training. Taking them out individually will take a little more time, but it will ultimately make you more successful. It will also be helpful to be able to manage one of your pups while you spend time focusing on the other one! I'll include a link to our crate training playlist that will be helpful.

@@McCannDogs hey thanks for the comment! yes getting seperate crates is a possibility, so ill make sure to do a little crate training individually. one more thing, what are some way that i could potty train them? do you think thats one thing that i could train them at the same time, or should i potty train them individually? thanks again for the info!

Well, damn.... screwed the pooch on this one (pun intended). Got a 9 month old shelter dog 3 months ago. Gave him a lot of freedom, really fast and he isn't really ready for it. He's mostly good, but his "recall" is sketchy and his "leave it" is sketchy. He's at about 85% obedience in the house or yard, but only 65% or so outside. 50% with other dogs around.

You talk about how to establish leadership with puppies or when you get an older dog but who still new to your life but how do you go about establishing leadership to a dog you've had since puppy but who is now ( in my case) 3 years old and doesn't see me as a leader strongly enough? Is it really feasible to go back to the very beginning ( also considering he does already know a lot of the stuff)?

Great question! Your situation is very similar to mine. My dog was over 2 and I had to go back to square one. It took a little longer than if I had given her good information from the beginning. But by simply changing your routine, being more clear and most importantly being consistent you will begin to see a change. It will take a little work. But it’s pretty amazing to see the transformation start to happen! Happy Training! ~Ken

Only if you're having issues while giving the dog the freedom.. if you're dogs been totally fine, no need to work backwards.. the goal is to get them to the point where they CAN have freedom with no issues.... I personally feel it's kind of useless for me to have a dog and put it in a crate when I'm not home.. with exception to pups.. my dog's protect the house while I'm away. Can't do that if I stick them in crates 🤷

Do you have a video on severe separation anxiety and crate training ?

How do you train a puppy to tell you when they need to go outside? My puppy is starting to walk to the back door but if we don’t notice right away he will have an accident. Do I teach him how to speak or do I teach him to scratch the door?

Hi there, Sarah! You need to be really aware of those choices that your puppy is making. He’s doing a great job of letting you know that he needs to go out!! While you work on your house training you need to keep a really close eye on him. Having him scratch on the door will only be helpful if you’re close enough to see it or hear it happen. Teaching him to find you is going to be a better option. Here’s a link to a video that you’ll find helpful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4Bm082hdKSye5M.html Happy Training! ~Ken

What about putting my puppy in kennel and then they get hysterical and poop then step in it or eat it!! Ends in a bath every time at 4am!Have 3puppies one is Maltese. I’ve been sleeping in an Ashley chair for weeks when I sleep(not really) so that I’m on poop eat watch. Love them but exhausted! Help! None of the things are working! Help!!

Need help with poop eating! None of my dogs have ever done this! We’ve tried supplements and Forbid ect. Nothing is working! Shih Tzu puppy

My parents got the brilliant idea to just give the pups unlimited freedom leave them out at night and they would be at the door or in the kennel in the morning. They play with each other in they yard when we are out in it and as soon as we go inside they take off down the road to play with the other delinquent dogs and have a great time

@@queeny5613 This is horrible advice lol. I’m sorry. That is just showing a dominant breed that they are dominant over you. Not only that, but in certain breeds this could trigger their prey drive and then you’re in real trouble. Even with a small dog. You don’t Yelp and turn your back? Who told you this? It’s so dangerous! I’m assuming you have never been attacked by a large dog. Dogs don’t work like us. They don’t think oh, I hurt them, now I’m sad, and I definitely get the message, and won’t do it again. They are all about dominance. They are animals. They are only worried about who’s bigger and stronger. Not saying they don’t love you but biting is a sign that they are either distressed and feel in danger or they are resource guarding which is with food, toys, treats, people etc. If you Yelp and turn away they are going to think “ ah, this is working, this is how I get what I want. If this worked for you that’s good I guess but please don’t EVER turn your back on an aggressive dog until you are sure you are safe. If you did this with a chow you would be done. Right there. They would be running the show. And they would absolutely not respect this type of training. Please research your breed and speak with a vet, trainers and other people who specialize in helping with aggression. Biting is never acceptable and as long as there is no redirection, the aggression will continue. It’s unfortunately not something that can just be lightly trained away. When biting is involved it’s always good to contact a professional. If you can’t afford it ( trust me, I know I can’t ) contact your local human society and they might be able to help put you in contact with someone who can help. Hope all this helps.

all of our dogs are good with listening and doing what we want them to do accept for one. it's fitting her name is Marly. she is a 1 year old German shepherd mix and she's less well behaved then our 4 month old puppy. I am kinda lost at what to do at this point. her behavior is getting worse now that she's trying to be dominant over our other dogs

My chihuahua has established herself as leader n I’m trying to correct her behavior. She’s been w me for a month now n she barks at everything n when she has a treat and I try taking it away she gets aggressive.

Soda Can hi! I had the same problem with a 4 yr old toy poodle I adopted. I had great results doing short, 15-25 minutes, obedience training. Just the usual sit, down, stay, come stuff. Sessions must be done in extreme joy and fun and always be positif, finishing on a very positive note. I used treats he loved, tiny pieces of dried liver. In a week or so, his character had really changed. He saw me as a friend and positive leader and accepted my leadership more and more. Also small dogs should be treated as dogs. Meaning he is not a toy or doll so it is important that he goes out and socializes with people and other positive dogs. That you don’t overprotect him. This will greatly down the barking usually caused by fear. Also, if he doesn’t want to leave the treat, well, it’s his, why would you want to take it away? They need to be respected also and a positive leader will accept some « nos » from his dog when appropriate. Same with the affection or being suddenly picked up without warning. When he doesn’t feel like being petted at the moment, respect that. He will respond great to the respect you have towards him. Think of when you don’t want something and it is imposed to you and you don’t feel respected. How does it make you feel towards that person? I hope for the very best for you and your new best friend. Take care!

My chi barks too, mostly I think bc he's very nervous about EVERYTHING. We've lessened his barking by praising him every time we approach a trigger, before the barking begins, and building up his confidence through lots of short training sessions. It's a work in progress, but the barking has definitely decreased. If she's adopted like our lil guy, then it doesn't sound so much like she's "established herself as a leader" as she's worried about resources (food guarding) and security (the barking). But I've only been learning about adopted-dog training, so might all be different if she's a pup.

He jumped the barrier and went to sleep up the stairs right behind the up door. Some days we wouldnt hear him cry. And would find him on the big stair behind the door as we open it. Then we realized he just want to sleep here. He doesnt like to be around his poo. He would start crying only at poo time i think. Then continue. Now never. He is on his own almost whole day no noise. We go feed him, play with him. Thats it..

He will literally go do something I distracted him from doing to start with, I'd call him out, he lifts his head prompt sits like a good boy. Then go right back to biting my feet. He gets extremely frustrated when I tell him no, or to stop doing whatever he is doing. Like chewing on feet shoes etc. He starts jumping barking growling and biting harder. He IS very smart, he know sit stay wait paw down. But it's as if he does things on purpose , like jumping on the couch ( he can't fully yet so just front paws) . Very crazy tantrums.
