Would you please consider doing a video for frustrated greeters? The type of lunging and barking (tantrums?) that stems from wanting to greet everyone but is frustrated because the leash prevents them from doing so?

Great video. My next door neighbor and I both have reactive dogs and we've been doing short training sessions every morning with parallel walking on opposite sides of the driveway. Both of us use the "let's go" cue if we see them in the beginnings of re-activity (though we try to keep them under threshold) and it works very well to prevent barking and lunging.

Your videos are so inspiring, your methods of training are amazing. The only reason I didn't give up on my dog was because of your information and tutorials. I have an extremely fearful rescue. He's afraid of children, leaves, noises, doors, everything! I have been working on learning that the world is not a scary place and your vids are so helpful!

Always love your videos and how the process is so great. Blessings.

I absolutely LOVE your tutorials and I've been referring some of my coworkers who are a little more old school to your videos in hopes to show them alternative ways of training. Btw... gorgeous dog!!!!!!!

You are most welcome!!

Great job as always, Em.

Your videos are very helpful and amazing! Thank you!

Emily--your videos were always good but they are even better in the last year. You explain things very clearly and give good demos. I am constantly referring clients to them as a great resource. THANKS as always for making them

Great. Shared it already as an adjunct to a training session - so THANK YOU! I use the "This Way" cue instead of "Let's Go" - but hey, the words are irrelevant, I could be saying "Red Tree"! So even that it a great education point to let people know that the cue you put with the behaviour isn't set in stone. Getting the behaviour first and then adding the cue is more important. Thanks again.

Thanks!!!

That's awesome!!

Brilliant. 4 of these sessions and my yappy little yorkie stopped lunging!

Thanks for letting me know! I totally forgot to add them! They are working now!

This is great, thanks!

Brilliant videos love! Hey from Ireland !

that tip about feeding so you don't have the dog in your path is very helpful

I just got a New Puppy and I hope to be working a lot with her soon This will be one of the exercises :)

Cool!

Nice video

Another wonderful tutorial, thank you :-)

This will be very helpful, especially adding environmental distractions, of which there are many for us. :-)

This is why my dog tries to trip me over by walking in front of my staring at me for a treat haha. Great video.

U are a godsend

I appreciate it! I like to use them with clients before the lesson, so that we can focus more on their dog than me just talking and demoing. Especially the house training video. I never want to talk again about the basics of house training, so I just refer them to the video and then do problem solving

Awesome toot! I am in love with Gremlin.

Great video! How long are the training sessions? 10-15 min? how many times a day?

Brilliant, I throw the treat or a toy if working off lead in a safe area.

Thanks for telling me, I totally forgot! They are now added!

i really like you!, i'm glad some educated people are doing good training videos on youtube!, thank you!

Great tutorial! I wanted to try clicker-training my dog and he's doing allright as it is, but when I take him outside and try to work with him, he's too excited, doesn't listen and doesn't want treats. Do you have any advice?

nice!

I think the main tool in that case would be: 'patience', I would believe. With calmness, patience, consistency and perseverance a lot can be achieved through these methods.

What kind of treats do you use?

Great video! I was just wondering what you can do when your dog goes into that "tunnel vision" of barking? I've been training this technique but sometimes a dog appears through a corner and the barking-lunging starts instantly. I try not to pull, but get his attention with treats and other commands. But maybe you have a better tip?

May I ask what kind of treats are those and where to find them?

Hi Emily!

would this help in my situation: when I take my dog on a walk, nearby neighbours dog goes nuts, barking, jumping and scrabbling at the fence, running along the fence line. this makes my dog react by lunging, whining and pulling. I can't avoid this house as I live on a cul de sac. I do walk on the other side of the road. could I use "let's go" so eventually she'll learn to ignore nutty dog ? or what other method would work ? she's a reduce dog and I haven't had her long

Kiko, what is your main tool when dealing with aggression? Classical conditioning i think turns alot of non dog trainers off because it takes time and results may be slow. What do you think is the best tool in terms of results?

what leash is this? want :(

I do! But she will not eat the treat and walk at the same time. I use really small treats to prevent that as well, but at the time it is not working.

You must go through a lot of treats rewarding EVERY behavior.

So the Let's Go cue is more of an emergent Heel?

Hi Kikopup, can I ask a question? I have a dog who gets very excited when we train and what started out as the occasional squeak has rapidly escalated into no-stop (literally!) vocalising. I would gladly reward the quiet bits but there aren't any. I've tried just working on everyday behaviours like "sit" or "down" but he even yells then. Help - he's a great dog and I enjoy working with him hugely but this is just deafening.

COOL

What type of dog is Gremlin?? She's SO FUDGIN CUTE

Hi! I saw some of your videos about human or sound reactivity. My dog can be very reactive to other (leashed) dogs. I think this cue might be already useful but do you have some other tips I can use for dog reactivity? Thank you!

Would a good leave it que be effective as well ? That's what i have been using but doesn't always work as sometimes reactive dogs are to close

Is "Come!" a word that can be used here? Or should Let's Go! only be used here? I have difficulty differentiating the definitions of these commands.

Love your new hairstyle. So unique.

Great video - but the links don't work...

Is there a purpose in teaching "let's go" as a cue as well as "leave it" or could you use one of those cues for both types of situations?

I have never been able to stop my collie lunging at traffic. She just goes i to hyper mode and food means nothing

I've tried to train my puppy like this for about 1,5 months. I must be doing something wrong, because even without no distractions she will come towards me but then sit. I will be in motion all the time, encourage her to come without sitting down and wait for the cue. Even with the highest value of treats it seems impossible from time to time. Any tips? :)

Hi, Kikopup I have a question. I have an almost 80 lb 8 month old ged/timber wolf hybrid pup that i rescued. He is now my service dog and he is happy and loves his job so much. But ever since he slipped on some tile he moves slowly or freezes on it and wont move unless i help him. Hes gonna be two hundred plus lbs when hes 3 yrs old. so i have time but how do i fix this? I clipped his nails but he still freezes for a bit and then skips happily. is he figuring it out that not all floors are bad?

Excellent training! My SDiT has improved dramatically with her reactivate barking in public and is almost there,but she is still occasionally barking at children. She has regressed over the past few days because of seeing and hearing a very loud screaming, crying preschool child in an underground car park. I’ve been trying your let’s go method and it has helped. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.

I suggest doing set ups with a friend with kids who can be at a distance and you can ask them to do predictable things, it would help if you had a trainer on board, but of course I realize in some places its not possible to find a trainer who is not using any forms of physical or psychological intimidation. I wrote this protocol - dogmantics.com/protocol-for-emotional-and-behavioral-modification/

hi kikopup. i was wondering if you could answer my qusetion. why is my dog so afriad of the clicker. i clicked it then gave him a treat, after two times he didnt want the treat anymore and tried to hide. please help!

How long can a dog bark when they're trying to display dominance of their territory? My dog only barks at night when coyotes are extra vocal (we live in the county). And should I stop her from barking?

Do you have any advice when a dog won't move when she's about to react? I've taught her "Let's go" and leash pressure. She does fine with those with squirrels and people but when she sees another dog she lays down and just won't move at all, even with a high-value lure. Then as the dog gets closure she has a complete meltdown barking to the point of not being able to hear me at all. I then have to pull hard to get her away and out of sight of the other dog.

Do you have a video for dogs that get over exited on leash when they see another dog? My dog tries to jump to other dogs because she feels a lot of (positive) stress. She wants to play or say hi and gets hyped up about it. From when she was a puppy I have never let her meet dogs while she is on leash, so no I didn’t reinforce it. Although I have to admit that she has her breed and age against her 😂 (1 year old labrador). What I do now is try to distract her, but it stops working when the other dog gets too close. I really want to pass people normally but I can’t when my dog is going wild.

Would you use this cue instead of "leave it", or would you train a dog in both commands? Can you use leave it instead of let's go?

@kikopup

Thats a great question. Leave it for me could mean, just ignore whatever it is. Lets go means to move with the handler. So you could use leave it as well, or you could walk past something and use leave it if that makes sense. It depends what you have trained leave it to mean.

I tried this in the backyard and my ACD pup got really over aroused at my energetic noises/let's go, had to stop the session because he got so amped up. Any tips on this?

Please help. My dog cry all the time as soon we go out of the house, hes almost 1 year old, he pull sometimes and some no. My big problem: he dont stop crying, and if he see another dog is get worse and is even worse if we do a family walk. He is perfectly healthy dog, he does not have any problem on his legs...Thanks...

you have a great dog their, he is just looking after your home. However you can teach him not to by a stern NO or stamping your feet to snap the dog out and treat when he has stopped. I wouldn't bother myself as its doing it's natural work and trying to protect you

I'm an experienced dog owner and know german shepherds but my current 4 yr old will occasionally lunge and go into attack mode with some strangers whilst most of the time he ignores them. I have tried to work out patterns of what strangers look like, their sex, what they carry etc how tired the dog is etc but there seems to be no reason why he does this. I'm wondering if he is just overly protective or perhaps unbalanced as he is a smashing dog but not having owned him in the first year, I think there is vital training and socialisation which he missed. I'm concerned as I'm the only one who can walk him as he is so unpredictable. Do yu have any ideas apart from sending him to a trainer which I won't do as I've had 4 other german shepherds + large breeds often adopted with no issue and I'm beginning to think he may have mental issues

What kind of dog is that? Looks just like my dog! Except my dog is smaller. Thanks.

This is a rescue from Spain, so maybe a Podenco? Some terrier? But very cute :)

While there are a lot of professional trainers for dogs, some dog owners prefer that they personally train their puppies themselves.

This video is pretty old so I hope you guys see my comment! I adopted my dog about a month ago and was told that she is fully train d however they never mentioned how reactive she is towards other dogs, people on bikes or skateboards or children. Now, it's not ALL children and it's not ALL people so I can't pinpoint what exactly is making her react. She's a very quick leaner but she REFUSES to listen to me when we are outside and I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong? I always have her favorite treats handy and our walks always last longer than 15-20 minutes so she can learn control on her leash and I tell her commands at random times so she understands I'm in control. Do I just need more time with her?

Hello Danni! I hope you get this comment. You may need to work on basic obedience inside. She isn't intentionally not listening to you. She just isn't used to performing those commands outside, and probably doesn't understand what you want. She is probably over threshold, or hasn't been worked with on basic obedience outside. Keep treats high value (turkey, chicken, cheese) and super small. Watch her body language before she reacts. Her tail may go up, or stiffen. She may become alert, and focused on the stimulus. Before she reacts, right as she sees the stimulus give her her favorite treat, and if you are too close for her to focus on you use " lets go" , pat your leg or make kissing noises and turn the other way to a better distance so she remains under threshold. The more you practice, and reward the better she will listen to you . You don't need to tell her commands to let her know you are in control. You may ask her to do commands, so you can better her, and yourself to work together an collaborate as a team.

I would say even if your dog starts to react, turn and move away. If you can't move, you are trapped for some reason, I suggest saying a quick sentence to the approaching person and their dog.

Thanks kindly" etc "Could you please turn back the way you came for a minute?". kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZacr5aoe73Qo6g.html Here is a video on how to practice talking in a loud voice, so your dog sees it as something positive before you have to use it around other dogs.

Hey Kikopup, love your videos. I have a question. I y a 1 year old Lab, and as you know, they are friendly to ANYTHING. So, my dog tends to lunge on the leash, and he gets really excited when he sees another dog. Do you recommend this same technique? Or do you have another method that perhaps suits this problem more directly? Cheers!

It does work for every dog, or at least every dog Ive worked with for the last 15 years, but for every dog the steps might need to be broken up smaller. For most dogs they might need to learn Lets go in their living room for two weeks to condition the behavior with no distractions, then add distractions in the living room. The dog also might need training sessions to be conditioned to finding food reinforcing when outside. I personally like to teach a settle out and about as the first thing a dog does out and about to learn to take food if they are too aroused or fearful to want to eat. Once you get the dog conditioned to wanting to work for food out and about you can then start working on different behaviors.

How do you make your neighbor’s dog stop barking?

no animal control here for that. If i throw treats my dogs will go nutz trying to get them... good idea but not sure how well it would actually work. Now I walk with 2 dogs so actually most dogs will stay away, at least far enough away that my dogs cant get them

It's called getting old and being in denial. I think I will wear converse too no matter how old I get.

This is all nice and works on my pup until he sees other dogs. Then it’s over for him. 😂

No you can train the "lets go" and other behaviors in your house and yard, and work on them out and about near your home if you dont want to have treats on the walk. With behaviors like leash walking and direction changes and recalls out and about you can use the environment as the reinforcer for the behaviors very easily, instead of treats.

Its not for everyone- you can use a marker word like "yes" Here is a tutorial on how to follow my videos without using a clicker kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2p2j7NtXdHXfso.html Because I do a lot of tricks where I need to use both my hands (say the dog gives me High Ten), I often dont use a clicker to train them. I always use the clicker in my house when my dogs off leash, and I am teaching a new behavior or concept. Then when the dog gets the initial step I usually move quite quickly to using the "yes". I think its easier to pinpoint when to mark when you see a video with a clicker. Thats why I like to use the clicker in videos. Also I am able to talk to my students in a seminar, at the same time as marking and reinforcing the dog. Its much harder to talk when you have to stop to and say "yes" all the time.

I am in NO way as awesome as Kiko, but hopefully this can help. If you go on her website dogmantics . com / free-video-list / There are some great videos that can help. I'd really focus on calm behaviors, the barking videos and attention work. The barking on a walk video is fantastic!

gypsycaravan By all means watch the video featured that is called " How to be completely dominant over your dog- dog training". Uploaded by the same individual.The one where she sticks her face into a dogs face, whilst growling on all fours. If it's supposed to be some joke, or a demonstration of "what not to do with your dog". It is not stated, posted, or described anywhere. In fact, based on what she has put in the title and description. This is supposed to be a serious training video. I don't know how it possibly could be a serious training video. The techniques demonstrated are not only ridiculous. But incorrect, potentially harmful and dangerous. Let's hope that someone's child doesn't end up watching it, and getting themselves seriously injured or worse,as a result of it. That is exactly why I posted my above comment. Too many people are already being injured and killed each year by attacks from domesticated dogs. Especially children. Dog training is no joke. It is something that needs to be done both professionally and correctly. Besides, I didn't read anything incorrectly. It says it plain English, at the beginning of the "dominance" video. That ALL the dogs and people featured are just ACTORS. I didn't say, state or post that. The uploader of the video did. So far, there is nothing I have seen. That screams out "Professional Dog Trainer". Besides, I'm not the one who has posted contradictory statements to the fact. So which one is it then? Dog trainer or actor?

Did you watch the entire video and read the description before making any judgement? I could be wrong, but given your reaction, i'd say you didn't. It's a little hard for anyone to miss the fact that the other video was satire. You also completely contradicted yourself by saying that she never stated or implied that her satirical video was satire, and then you agree that she actually DID state it was satire. Please watch more of her videos before you suddenly decide that she's fake. She's clearly an experienced (and excellent) dog trainer. If you'd taken a little more time to learn about her before your made your judgement, then maybe you'd have caught that.
