Love this trainer. I know she makes it look easy, but she totally understands that dogs don't think like us. She is a reward based trainer too, no bossy boots, you'll do as you're told trainer. I am very impressed with this lady.

Very good lessons! I've heard that you should never use the word "NO" or any form of it to distract unwanted behaviour, but I'd NEVER find a video to tell you WHAT you should do.... this is the first one.. THANK YOU!!!!!

I know I have my own dogs in a lot of videos, but all the other dogs in my videos I have chosen specifically because they are completely new to the exercise and clicker training ( I wont say which dog, but one dog in my videos has bitten people before and in the training video looks highly trained because thats how clicker works). The thing with clicker training, is the dog seems to always look already trained, because you 'get' the behavior and then reinforce it, one success after another.

@Nightingale Duck Good point. When you are not around and your dog does undesirable behavior it is reinforced. So no matter whether you used compulsion training or reward based training, you would need to use management and prevention when you are not around- having the puppy in a puppy proof pen (and making sure all your puppies physical and mental needs are met).

We've had our rescue husky for a week and I have to say this is working! Decided to re-watch this video to make sure I was doing everything correctly and Keiji heard you make the kiss noise and sat up and looked at me. Oops! I owe you a treat buddy.

your videos are great! I have a very smart and stubborn Yorkie pup who learned how training works for a few things and now uses these cues to get her way... like house breaking her. she learned that running around in circles and squatting gets her outside and then all she wants is to play, so she Yanks and tugs on the leash or very aggressively attacks my ankles if I don't walk fast enough for her. I tried a firm "no!", giving her a toy to bite instead, tugging on the leash, stopping dead, ignoring her....basically everything that everyone else says to try and it only made her worse. I can say that your methods work almost instantly for Sookie compared to the countless videos I've watched and blogs I've read. she does much better with higher quality rewards and fewer commands. she doesn't wanna be told what to do, I just didn't know how to work with that. thank you!

I'm really glad you added that proviso in the last minute of the video. Otherwise you absolutely are teaching the dog that the way to get treats is to do something 'mom' doesn't like. Even if you use this sparingly, you are still rewarding your dog's inappropriate behaviour. Dogs are smart - they catch onto things like this pretty quickly. You are effectively clicking them for something you don't want.

Watching your whole puppy playlist and your videos are truly the best I have found! I have already learned so much and your training carries over from one skill to another so it's very easy for the dog (and human) to pick up on.

Thank you. My puppy trainer said you had great methods and referred me to this video midweek between weekly classes for our specific problem until next class. My Corgi puppy will not leave my older Pomeranian alone, and I don't want to shout at him. Love this advice you whisperer o' doge

Mine did to

I taught my puppy this in 2 sessions (she's 5 mths & very smart!) I started first session with a very long leash tied to the stair case. i put her on a sit / stay & walked one step out the door... walked back in and said "ok" and gave treat. after several times, I started walking further & eventually running. Returning inside the house and releasing her with "ok" & a treat each time. Now I open the door & walk around, then walk by & treat her for not steping out the door without permission.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for what you're doing! I have 2 rescues. A boxer whos almost 8 and a 1 year old boxer pit that I just got. She has severe separation anxiety, is terified of cages (she was in some lab before I pulled her from death row) so she is very reactive. I spent just 2 days doing clicker training, using the calming signals and the interrupter signal and it's made and amazing difference!!!! I re-posted you on pintrest and know others will love you too!

This is great and I love all the reminders, it works for kids too, you need to pay attention to your loved ones not just when things go wrong. Love the videos.

all of your videos make so much sense and address everything you need to do from start to finish, i love it! i just hope im able to put these things into practice. you make it look so easy haha

Great, thank you. I did the first session, 6 reps and it made an impact already. Next session tomorrow. Thank you!

Your videos are so useful to someone like myself that grew up with cats, and now lives with a 6yr old dog. I've been having the hardess time figuring the poor guy out, which is just stressing him further, as he's very nervous. Thank you!

Very helpful. Video was recomended to me by a very well known Behavior Specialist.

Awe ❤️ I have some great veterinary behaviorist friends I wonder if it was one of them :)

Thank you, thank you! I'm working with aduld dogs for years now, but my puppy really gets me out of my coolness. Now I understand better what's happened. 👍❤️

I so need to work on this with my neighbours dog that is staying with us. thanks for the info Em, don't know where I would be with my dogs without you!!

I trained my dogs using the clicker and the great advantage of it is that you can pin-point the exact behavior that you're trying to reward which makes a great difference in training. For instance if you're training loose leash walking you can use a clicker to reward the very second your dog moves on a slack leash and your dog is smart enough to distinguish what behavior is being rewarded.

These videos are so valuable and I have found this and many others to be very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you for these efforts!!

Oh I am glad! :)

Wow, great video Emily! Very well made and well explained! 5*s! And a great job with Tug! Definitely a fav!

such sensible and humane advise.

I can't believe how well this is working.... Just tried it on my adult, never been a pet foster and she definitely got the idea pretty quick to stop what she's doing and look me in the eyes. Baby steps, but hoping to continue this! ^_^

She stated this already. Suppressing a behavior by saying/yelling no then applying a correction will lead to them doing that exact bad behavior when you're not around to correct it. That's because they'll reinforce themselves when you're not around, by doing that behavior, and enjoying it without being corrected. Whereas if you teach them positively, they learn what to do instead of what they were doing, and won't do it behind your back.

Your videos are helping me so much! I was really scared to start training my dog that I'll be getting soon, but thanks to your vides I feel more comfortable with the whole subject! I probably would have ended up using negative reinforcements or something without realizing what I was really doing! :( I'm still worried I won't be able to teach my dog properly though.

You are the best! !! :D Thank you very much for your videos!

awesome video! great advice.. I'm thinking about getting a dog soon and i'm def going to do this type of training! it just makes perfect sense.

Thanks so much! I was taught to use a 'uh uh' noise to tell them something was wrong, but I would like to switch to all positive training, since I get so much better results when the dogs are having fun - the 'uh uh' noise is kind of a downer! So I am going to start working on this method instead.

Great instruction. I hope I'm able to implement this properly. My Aussie pup has a very high drive and it's not always easy to get her attention.

This was really helpful! Thank you!!

I think it has to do with a dog's experience of time, how they are always in the exact present. Whatever behavior the dog is doing the very MOMENT the click/treat is given is reinforced. With the clicker, it's good behavior-->click/treat. With this method, it's bad behavior-->interruption-->alternate behavior-->click/treat. So in both cases it's the better behavior being reinforced. Like the girl says though, it only works if being naughty isn't your dog's only way of getting your attention.

Your videos are exceptional. Thanks so much!

Love your videos. this was so helpful!

I should've watched this before I sent that message to you! :) Great video...thank you! :) Now I have to re-train myself so I stop telling my dog "No". :)

Great video. Since I started training before I learned all this, I still have a negative interruptor (NO). As soon as he reacts to the NO he is complemented right away. I will try to add a positive interruptor and see if I can fade out completely the negative one. It's a challenge in the environment that I'm in to just use the NO and stop the instant my dog responds to it. Many people around me feel I'm to soft on my dog.

Very good video, it seems so funny when Kiko is still offering calming signals :D lots of yawning :D

As usual - another great video. Thank you.

Awesome video - very well thought out. Thanks!

Awesome video! I am going to try this with my dog! Thanks for posting this video!

thanks for another great training video

Love the pic in the background, Kiko and puppy Splash

thanks so much very clear and helpful!!

YES!! This is soooooooooo great Em!!! 5* and a favorite!

Great video! Thank you!!

My poor re re dog got frustrated by not getting sit and down. (She would stand up to eat her treat even if I put it on the floor, then stopped following the lure.) She got so frustrated that she started barking at a stranger -- something she hasn't done since she was first rescued 3 years ago. She wouldn't take her attention off the stranger for more than a second. So, we went over the positive interrupter. She was markedly proud of herself and got back her calm.

OMG! I can't believe I just noticed that picture on the wall over your shoulder. Those are your babies! Awesome picture. :)

gosh Im learning so much about animal psychology right now from this

Thank you so much it helped alot!!!!!

Great video and info. I don't know how you find the time to make all these great videos!

wow! i've just watched like, 10 of your videos, and I don't even own a dog! lol, they're just so damn interesting! I'm hoping to add a dog to the family when I return from travels, I'm just glad I have some sort of understanding in training for when I do! Cheers

Subscribed! Awesome trainer

This is amazing. I've got a brand new pup in 20 minutes. Only downside is I have to walk around with a pocket full of dog food, but I prefer that to chewed up cables

i had seen the first release in dogmantics, but the new footage was a real bonus becuse it shows the exercise with a fresh pup who dose not already know what is required of him, very helpful information:) my own pup kali finds almost anything rewarding. right now she LOVES apple slices as rewards, as much as she loves real meat! :O

this is great, you are a good trainer :)

Nicely done!!

Great video!!! Thanks!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

You are correct. Supervision was what caused the problem. I had to address the issue to an object he was allowed to chew on. I couldn't be with him all day so I had to find a solution. I choose clicker training and positive reinforcement to train dogs. You choose another method. I had misunderstood you, I thought you were one of those that discipline by physical punishment, that's why it got this long. I'm done with this. Take care and thanks for your time ^.^

Another Great Vid Emily!!!! What treats are you giving to your dogs? Thanks!

Found you just after we got our pup. A bit late at 11 wks but she is proving very trainable and also we think, a lover of agility. She is 2 1/2 lb so that will be interesting! Just wanted to say thank you as you have made the clicker method clear! I wasn't certain wether to use it as had found no good instruction anywhere. But now I am sure. I will be following you closely! I read of a channel of yours. How do I find this? Anyone who could let me know, thanks in advance.

Omg what an adorable bulldog

@MrVbdude ; if they look up at you with a positive intent and not afraid of you, then they did do something good. If you need stop them from chewing something, generally you need to offer them something to chew on while teething or they need more exercise/attention with either tug, a frisbee, or whatever activity you're thinking about.

lovely method, I send you my congratulations. I really admire your job, so I would like to know what kind of treat do you use, because my dog usually ignore some of my treats and related to other gifts, I'm not sure if they are the reason for they weigth!! my dog is becoming in a ball

Excellent!!!

I will use your training for training my kids:))) just kidding. You are great. Your videos are super helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. We have trained our dogs not to come into the kitchen, they have learned we don't like it, and our dogs will immediately get out of the kitchen when we say, "Out of the kitchen." but this doesn't not help when we are gone. But I will try spiking the food, maybe that can teach them there is nothing rewarding in the kitchen for them? Again, thank you for helping me out.

I love this!

This can happen, and in fact can be used to train new behaviors by using old, fun ones as a reward. Generally, though, if the dog has a repertoire of easier, more established behaviors to get praise/attention/treats, then he won't look for opportunities to find trouble. If he gets all the attention he wants for offering tricks or doing a job of some sort, then he won't be inclined to waste time looking for poop to eat or shoes to chew.

amazing video, think you're the only person on youtube i have seen that uses untrained dogs. can i ask what little shedding small dog breed you think is the easiest to train and good for apartment life. at the moment im thinking boston terrier but was wondering if you had any other suggestions. thank you for your time

@kikopup I love your videos and your way of training puppy so much. And I wonder if you want to do a video of preventing dogs from humping on human legs one day. It will be great! I have searched for that and current videos created by others about dog humping are not very efficent.

love it! what ever happened with the dogmantics project? i was looking forward to u having ur own show!!!

GREAT vid! I was wondering this exact thing recently and this sounds great. I'll start trying now. Question: I have 2 dogs, 1 yr old and 6mo old....it is hard to train because when i'm working w/ one the other will distract. is it best to put one in a kennel and have one on one time w/ each dog individually or should we keep trying to do it together cuz they'll have to learn to behave when together anyway? THANKS SO MUCH!!!! :D

ur videos are so nice to watch and very good explaning. my question to this video is, how often should this be exercised? everyday, every other day, a few days ago, until it becomes a habit?

My dog just turned 6yo. She bit a little when she was very young and exhibited some food aggression, but that has since been dealt with and she's been a loving dog since. About ten days ago, I wanted her in my bedroom instead of the living room. She was on my LR couch, which has kind of been an inconsistent no-no. She's supposed to ask for permission to get on the couch, but we realized that she goes on it when we aren't around. Anyway, I reached out, fully loving/non-threatening, just to carry her to my BR. She snapped split second, and bit my hand! She bit down very hard, for about 10 secs. I'll admit was shocked/scared and didn't react initially. At some pt, I called her name and she stopped. I could tell I was seriously injured and my hand started bleeding profusely. She came right between my knees (I was then squatting) in an apologetic position with her head bowed. She put me in the hospital for 3.5 days with the IV antibiotics! Why did she do that? What training exercises do I do?? Please help. I'm afraid to tell people.

No problem, another video that may be helpful r you is the "capturing calmness" video that kikopup has. Good luck!

TY this really helps :)

Fantastic kikopup! Ty for videos :)

My dog is getting better at this in the house. Just need to proof it because once my toddler runs, he just ignores me. Thanks for this!

I've had this problem with my pup, he chewed on the table's legs. I started "correcting" him by saying no and interrupting the behavior. I was around, things were fine, I left him alone and I came back to chewed wood. I HAD to redirect that behavior. I started on redirecting it towards his toys. Bones, wooden sticks and anything I could provide as a chewing toy. He stopped chewing on the table. Never done it since. But the No way could also be effective if used properly as you suggest. Cheers :)

Although you made a fair comment at the end about ignoring when you're dog is being perfect. It's too easy to get caught up in what they're doing wrong instead of celebrating what they're doing right.

THIS is what I need first! :D

omg I love you videos sooo much! I have a question: when do I stop clicking and giving them treats after they learn something new? if I stop won't they stop doing it after some time? because they are like waiting for a reward after they do something good. I hope you can help me. Besos desde Venezuela ❤

why are so many spam comments on your vids? they are great and really helpful. thanks kikopup!

@kikopup I have a yorkie. What do you recommend for good training treats?

Hi there! I'm curious as to how often I should be carrying my clicker and treats for reinforcing good behavior. Do I only use these tools during my 2-3 minute training sessions? Thank you!!! Your videos have been so helpful training our first puppy.

you are amazing :)

WOW! its a good thing i found your videos... just showed me that i have been doing alot of things wrong... hopefully this will change alot of those things for the better... one thing though... do i really need a clicker thingy?...

Emily - excellent video! Very well explained and demonstrated. This will help a lot of owners and dogs. Thank you for posting. :-)

@kikopup Do you have a video showing how to do the DAP or calm massage? I would be very interested in seeing how that works! Thank you! =)

amazing!

love it! you should be the one with the show on animal planet instead of the other guy who's name i shall not mention...i really hope that u get a show soon...btw, what ever happened to the dogmantics project?

Loved it! But can creating a positive interrupter create a behavior chain? Like if my dog is chewing on a shoe and I make the kissy noise to interrupt the it, then won't my dog think that he has to chew on shoes in order to get food?

@juliesullivan9473

2 жыл бұрын

It is a possibility…. I would redirect in this example you gave. When the dog tries to go back to the shoe give the kissy sound on his way to the shoe so you change his attention then mark and reward for the attention back onto you.

I have a 4 month 60lb Bullmastiff and I been braking his attention by doing this for a while and that's how I recall him from long distance. I got the idea from old westerns where the lone drifter had an amazing horse he could recall by the same nose. Lol but yeah I also training my dog not to accept treats or food from strangers even if I'm not there or to listen to any commands unless it's me or my wife.

very usefull

omg look at the cute Bull dog

The noise is simply to distract them. If they don't respond to it (ie, stopping what they're doing, turning to their owner, and looking at them), they don't get treated. It's not intended to say "Good job for chewing on that shoe!" It's intended to distract them from the shoe with something positive (you) rather than punishing them and giving them no direction. Notice that when her puppy was providing the example in the video, she made the kiss noise, and then gave him something else to chew.

Please share your thoughts on 'cue as reinforcer' and the use of the positive interruptor acting as a reinforcer for the unwanted behavior.
