so sorry for your loss Emily, we know that you are one of the most kindest dog owners out there and you didn't deserve to lose a pup like this, but he would have had the best last few days he could have ever asked for. xx

I can't believe we get a video every single day, best week ever

Sweet Splash. When my cat was dying from cancer, every moment became precious. Even the naughty moments, the waking me up at 4 am moments, the over aggressive playing moment, the nipping moments -- they were all precious. I had read somewhere about a woman who's (horse I think?) was dying and she said that once she knew, they moved into precious world where everything, every moment, was precious. And that was exactly the same with me and my sweet boy.

Great video as always, love seeing basic, regular, every day training sessions with a new puppy. Dedicated "how to" videos are great for specific things but these videos really help cement what the day to day should look like over time, which is really valuable. Thanks for doing these, looking forward to more of them!

Thanks! They really are for people who are interested in the art of training rather than just getting a dog to stop doing something... So I am glad you like them :)

Whenever I watch Emily working I feel like such a failure as a dog owner! hahaha. I wish I was great like that, but I know we're talking about a lifetime of learning and experiences. I can only hope to learn enough so I don't make my dog miserable. Keep up the good work, Emily! I'm your fan.

Aww when Splash interrupted to say hi it was so sweet. Great vid!

This is really a great puppy course. Thank you very much.

I love the how to videos but I really really like these full training session videos. They put everything in context.

These are awesome and so useful/inspiring!

Dream!!! Such a great little dog. Good tips re treats and chews near where you dress. Your training is so kind. Also lucky Splashers having such lovely care for her final days xxxxxx

Puppies are so much work! You have oodles of patience. I cheated 😱 when I got my last three dogs. I got young adults -- no puppies. They were already housebroken and used to having their nails done. They accepted the dremel with no problem. Sometimes a person's living situation dictates how they add an animal companion to the family. Watching a trainer deal with a young puppy still gives me hints as to what I can do when I experience a new challenge with my young adult dog. All of your techniques translate very well to older pup's. 👏👏

@@kikopup -- that's definitely true.🙄 Another big downside to getting an adult dog is you have no control over whether they are properly socialized. In that case, I work with him/her as if it was a puppy but it can likely take longer.

Emily, I love Splash. I’ve watched Kiko, Splash and Tug (and Wish and Halo et all) since your Halloween videos. A few years back I adopted a rescue for my geriatric dog. He taught him fetch in his last days by passing the ball. I feel that’s what Splash is doing. Making sure you are OK as best she can. PS She’s eating so that’s good!

Dog Training by Kikopup Your training helped me so. I had the funniest ‘smartest’ dogs. It’s the first time I have been dogless now for a year. I’ve been watching again now as am getting a puppy in a couple weeks. Moved near my large extreme boisterous fam and place where dogs aren’t very friendly. Ordered a stroller as per your puppy socializing compilation. Thank you again! Anibel

Aw :( poor splash.. hope he had the most in his few days

thank you! very helpful, never mind adorable!😍

You are such a smart and amazing trainer! And also this is random but your hair is actualky really cool looking!! Dream is doing so well.

Honestly your 10 times better than Zach George. The reason why is because you going to a lot more details you show the pros and cons and you even show when you mess up. Nobody's perfect 100% of the time. Granted his shows have a plus plus quality production however you are much more in depth and show how dogs can even regress on certain issues and how to deal with that. I can't get enough of your content!

I enjoy both of them, I think it's nice to look at a few different trainers to have different perspectives, specially if one method doesn't work ad well you can try a different one and test stuff out. Zak is great but he usually works with dogs older than that, and the videos with puppies are mostly old and not very long. I do find that he's helped me more with reactive dogs and dogs that pull too much, specially with the current series with the pitbull George.

I have great respect for all trainers who put themselves out in the public domain. Everyone has something negative to say about us :) We all train differently based on our education and experience. The way I train is based on my own education and experience and is not a critique on others ways of training. I personally don't watch other people on youtube, I have my own mentors and trainers and applied behavior analysts I follow who follow the same principles I do. I have been very blessed to have been invited to dog training conferences from early in my career to talk and so learned from so many amazing trainers, also being invited to 6 different continents I learned from the most amazing trainers around the world and am so humbled. I just enjoy learning and each day I learn something new from other trainers and the dogs I work with but I do follow principles that are very specific. I wrote a manifesto on the principles here: progressivereinforcementtraining.com/

I like both of them. Zak George works in different scenarios, with a focus these days on older dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with behavioral problems to show positive techniques can address these issues. And he's super open about his mistakes and to learning. He actually follows Emily's Instagram (I know because I follow both) and tries to integrate best practices from other positive trainers.

Zach actually introduced me to Emily and mentioned her as a underappreciated dog trainer! I love both, I think the general gist is similar, but I think Kikopup breaks things down even more than Zach sometimes. And also, I feel like Zach will let his dogs rehearse some non ideal behaviors (jumping on people etc) if he thinks something else is more important (the shy dog wanting to interact with people) - but I'm sure Emily has her own way around issues like that!

Hey, Emily! When I was in school, the recommendation was to let dogs mouth you to teach bite inhibition until they're 13 weeks old. Has that changed, or do your puppies get plenty of mouthing in off camera even with this early training? By the way, thank you so much for creating these videos, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting out FREE content on force-free / errorless learning. I am part of a dog training community and we use your videos to help owners all the time. :)

@kikopup

Yes that method of Ian Dunbars is also great for teaching bite inhibition. You can also teach it by teaching a puppy to take treats softly in training sessions. I find it easier with my own clients to just teach the puppy not to bite human hands and legs from day one. If the puppy is abnormal, say was a singleton, taken away from the mom and litter mates before 8 weeks, bites hard etc I do suggest seeing a veterinary behaviorist for help with abnormal biting in puppies.

@@kikopup Thank you for the response! I will definitely try this out with my next puppy. I always thought it would be better if we could start them off with all the same rules they have as adults, but figured that was a necessary evil for them to learn bite inhibition. Glad to hear you can have soft mouthed dogs AND be consistent in this area.

Thankyou for the wonderful videos. I have a rescue lurcher who came to me with a great fear of having his nails clipped. I have always used clippers but he wants to leave the room even at the sight of them. Do you think it would be better to try to help him get over his fear or just to start using something different, like your dremel, that he has no prior association with?

I “found you” a couple years ago and am addicted to watching and learning from you. I pass on your name to friends and even random people I meet walking their dogs that seem to need some guidance. My Labrador now 4 yrs old has grown up learning behaviors and tricks that you have helped me teach. It really comes in handy since I live in a country where I don’t speak the language. People see my well trained dog and then it doesn’t matter about the language barrier. So thank you. And your puppy is so very cute and I love how you are with Splash. Kind of brings tears to my eyes. So I have a random question. I have a friend who recently got a puppy - think border collie ( from a reputable breeder) that once they got it home they realized it was deaf. Do you have any tips on training? Clicker training obviously is not an option. Thanks for your help

@majafelicitas9790

Hi 😊 You can marker/clicker train deaf dogs with visual markers like a special hand sign or even a low vibrating collar. If you want to use a vibrating collar as a marker, you really have to make sure that you introduce the collar in teeny tiny positive steps so the dog doesn’t feel uncomfortable with the vibration. Once it’s super comfortable with the collar, you can start conditioning just as you condition the clicker.

I believe you, Emily. I’ve raised dozens of puppies. They’re all cute little piranhas.

I’m sorry about Splash. I didn’t know she was sick. Lots of treats and snuggles for her. 💙🥓

Thank you so much for this. We're getting our little Shelby on Friday and he'll be 9 weeks old. I'm taking 2 weeks off work so I can supervise and train him the basics eg house training. But I'm worried when I have to go back to work 2 days a week. I don't want to leave him alone in the house unsupervised. Where should I leave him? We have an ex-pen we can set up in the garage but he'll have many accidents there because it'll be nowhere near his bathroom.

Hi! I really appreciate your videos and have a quick question; I know that the cue can quickly turn into a secondary reinforcement (the dog loves to hear the cue), and if I interrupt the dog’s behavior with a cue, which the dog loves, followed by a treat, won’t I be encouraging the dog to do this behavior just so that the secondary and primary reinforcement (plus my attention) can happen?

What a good puppy

I have a video about dogs not that motivated by food, kzread.info/dash/bejne/naKNsMNphZi3irg.html The issue can also be over feeding, sometimes it takes puppies a few days to recover from a large meal. I suggest also trying a diet thats not kibble as that swells up in the stomach

I have a question. Can I use a clip or two of your dogs for a dog trick project I’m doing?

What treat pouch do you use?

Emily, do you have clips of your puppies disengaging from training? It'd be really useful to see a compilation of the signs indicating we need to stop training

kzread.info/dash/bejne/noCty7OIdNG4YdY.html&start_radio=1&rv=lLyiQODnR1s&t=0 I think in this video you see me say "all done" "go sniff" when the puppy is asking for more treats. for ending a session I give 1 treat to all my dogs and then take them to the toilet and to get water.

Wich head of dremel you use for the nails?

what treats do you recommend for puppies? obviously they need to be rewarded the majority of the day which means treats will make up a large part of their diet so I am always unsure what is the best. their normal dry food isnt very high value,

How do we get you to come train us train our dogs ?

Ok so I did the whole nail stuff wrong for my dog. I introduced her to the nail trimmer without treats which I see now is a BIG mistake cause now every time she sees me grab it she freaks out. So how do I get her to be more calm towards it so she can let me trim her nails? 😩

Poor Splash

My dog is not interested at all at treats!
