I had gotten a baby Rottweiler when she was 4 months. She was starved, beaten, tased, and had Parvo. When we got her back to health, she was so unruly. With your help, I swear she is so amazing now. She is almost 2 and in great health. I work for a large pet corporation and when I talk to pet parents who are having issues, I send them to your videos. You are so amazing. You have taught us so much

Regarding crate training, I wish to underscore the supreme importance of “calm leadership from a place of love.” You MUST NOT BE ANGRY when putting your dog into the crate, though you may be frustrated. Time-outs must always be an opportunity for your dog to CHILL OUT; the crate must not be seen as a punishment but, rather, a sanctuary! I achieved this for my dog by keeping the crate well cushioned, always open when vacant, and always stocked with treats that I had surreptitiously planted there. I also made a habit of depositing my dog’s favorite toys in there whenever I found them lying around elsewhere and unattended. Location of the crate may also play a role. Some dogs may exist who want some privacy when chilling out, but most are probably very social, like my “party girl” who wants to be “up in the mix” even when she could use a nap. As such, her crate was not in a back room but, instead, in a high-traffic living space. You’ll know you’re doing crate training right-meaning, in such a way that your dog accepts it as a sanctuary-when they go into the crate without prompting, just to chill out and relax.

@AngeloXification Жыл бұрын

Learning that becoming frustrated doesn't mean you become angry is the very definition of controlling one's emotions. I noticed how worked up I became when becoming frustrated and then realised I'm the issue and not the pooch. Then you learn it's basically the same with humans.

Yes, I was just explaining to my daughter how extremely sensitive to our moods that dogs are and that conflict between us effects them. Just like before her father and I parted ways so she totally understood that. She had been getting overwhelmed by her 11 month old Labrador male and using the harsh punishment style of dog training, of which I completely disagree and find very upsetting myself. All this accomplished was that our dogs (two small Yorkies too) would run to me and hide behind me when she would enter the room angry. I finally watched this video and she has totally agreed that it makes complete sense and has had immediate benefits and results already.

My dog trainer was very impressed, saying it is something many dogs really struggle with. I can’t recommend it enough.

I got a rescue puppy last year, this is one of the things I never forget to do daily. When we leave and we come back home he knows he needs to sit/lay down and wait for the door to be opened, and then for him to be invited to leave or to enter. This changed absolutely everything!! everyone sees him waiting in there and are amazed on how "well behaved" our dog is. We still have a lot of areas of improvement but this threshold training is a really good practice.

I take my 3 niece and nephew dogs for a walk together every morning. Three different ages, breeds, personalities. In the 3 weeks that I've been watching your videos, we have made such progress that I cannot even believe the difference. And I have zero previous experience with dogs. And I'm not even their main gateway to their food and shelter. The very anxious dog seems so much happier and more relaxed as she loves the structure. We've gone from 2 super leash pullers that were hurting my back and no following of commands to delightful walks, heeling all the way, sitting and staying off leash, all three sitting simultaneously at the edge of the road and every other threshold area... and more. Truly life changing!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Currently, we are working on heel training (it always spooks me just how quickly he absorbs proper instructions). Having him work for his meals is probably the best thing I've ever done for him. Cheers for the videos and guides on your website, Will. Great stuff.

Great content man, covering in-depth every aspect . Every dog owner (and future ones too!) should have those rules in mind, it gives a big amount of control over various life situations with your dog, which reduces any anxiety or stress in a dog & owner - you will not be fearful that your dog will badly behave, and dog will not be stressed by new situations. Win-win scenario for every one! Also when you have a puppy, remember about behavioral changes that will happen (from puppy to adult dog) - don't give up and stick to those 5 rules, it will help you a lot!

I just found your channel, and I'm so glad I did. I have a high anxiety 1 yr old ausie kelpie/ausie shepherd mix, she is a rescue and was severely abused in her early puppy days and left to fend for herself in the heat of the summer in Washington. We took her in and I've been working on her anxiety and security, but she still has a lot of chaos in her behavior. Like a light switch, she goes from playful to aggressively protective. We can't really take her out and about like we''d like to because she is afraid of EVERYONE that's not part of the house. When we have guests, she spends the time cowering for the first few hours, and then skirting around them the rest of the time. I'd love to get her to a point of confidence and trust where I can register her as a support animal. I will be pouring through your videos to try and learn how to best help her to help me.

I am looking to adopting a rescue dog in the near future and just came across your video - wow! Awesome - I will now go through all your videos in the hope that when I get my new dog, it will be much easier for us to adapt to each other. Thank you

I’ve never heard of the food pouch thing before but my dog is VERY food motivated so I want to give it a try and it’s working already after 2 days!! She can pull me off my feet sometimes and even sprained my wrist once. Glad to be getting a handle on this

Love these tips! I exercise threshold manners when leaving the house, but I see I can implement it at any opportunity with benefit. I also do the first 4 of your basic commands (mostly successful.. x'D), but I should put more effort into recall and place commands :)

I just want to say thank you so much! Our 10 month old American bully xl started jumping on me and biting me whenever we went on walks and I didn't let him go where he wanted. I was getting scared of him. We started your boot camp last Saturday and I haven't been bitten since. Thank you so much for all your videos. They have changed our lives and made me fall in love with our crazy puppy again.

We have 2 x 10 yr old Ridgeback sisters and have just adopted a young Ridgeback/Lurcher X. We have always applied these training exercises with the Ridgebacks and they are now proving to be great teachers for the young pup (approx 10 months old). We still train and reward the girls at their age with recall when out walking, obedience training, manage thresholds, etc and we are walking the pup off his lead after having him with us just 4 days. Having said that, this video is a great reminder especially for understanding the dog's perspective. Thanks Will!

Thanks for another spot on video. We have a new 11 week old puppy. He has sit down. We're working on stay, doing fair there. The big challenge is wait. We're making progress but it's slow. Your video reminded me I don't have to feed his breakfast in a bowl. I split his daily food & use half for breakfast, then train with the rest. As of today, I'm training with all his food, and what's left is for his supper 🍽. THANK YOU

Hi Will! I deeply admire your work and thank you so much for the love you have for these wonderful dogs, especially the big boys, my personal favorite. 🥰 May you please share more tips and tricks for doggies that are hard of hearing/partially hard of hearing? Also how do you recommend preparing guests and family so that they can avoid things like startling your pet? This happened yesterday while having a BBQ. I suspect her nose was overwhelmed so my friend appearing in front of her really freaked her out. This question is for my friend's rescue, she's a chihuahua mix with a really lovely temperament, just clearly she is partially or fully deaf.

@stephaniedaigle4794 Жыл бұрын

Dogs that are deaf are going to be more aware of their surroundings than we give them credit( how is the dog’s vision though?) , I’m a dog trainer myself but I’ve not had the experience of working with a dead dog.. But I have seen quite a few owners of dead dogs use all kinds of GENTLE approaches like… softly blowing on them to wake them up and to let them know they are there, using lights ( as in Actualy blinking the lights on and off when they get home to alert the dog, etc).but things are always going to be a lot More challenging with chihuahuas due to their sheer size! I’d recommend just always keeping them at close range as they are gonna want to feel Protected and safe as much as possible especialy due to their fragility… and they are going to depend on their owner more and more as they age too… ! I don’t usualy recommend “ baby-ing” a dog… but if there’s any dog than can be the exception to that rule it’s def a chihuahua … and a blind one at that! Just treat him like the precious and Fragile thing that he is! And make sure to just communicate with everyone around about his new dissability and that they need to be careful when approaching him, and if they want to come approach and say hi, to not “jump” or make any “sudden movements “ in front of him to not startle him and to just be gentle and Overly Aware ! That’s how I would approach things! ❤ Best of luck w that!

Love watching and learning. So motivating for developing great pets. Wish i could have one, bit eventually so continuing my own training now! I've found I've been able to help others around the neighborhood, girlfriend and family using yours and C. Milan's techniques. So fun to do.

When you first said “5 things you should be doing everyday”. I cringed. Oh boy what am I going to have to do? Am I going to have the time to incorporate new things into our day? But I’m doing all those things, everyday with my 4 month old rescue 😊Thank you for your guidance. Love your videos. That dog is so lucky to have you in his life, even if it is only temporary.

Just started watching hoping to take a lot of techniques and apply them. My wife and I just picked up our 12 week old girl she’s such a sweetheart. Wasn’t a great leader environment but she’s showing exceptional qualities and with following these techniques and growing our bond / relationship hoping we can achieve our goals and becoming a good leader in her life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
