The TRUTH about k-9 Training k-9 p

german shepherds are the trainers dog...not all dogs respond the same...

sherrcon that’s what I thought. I thought every other dog was “hard” and German shepherd were easy. Until I got one. Then I realise I’m just a bad trainer.

@@SuperGGLOL /and it boils down to stock, experience and dedication too...some dogs are just smart as heck and can understand in one/two/three commands to what is being asked like border collies and poodles...you can take a beginner/mediocre trainer with a German shepherd and that dog will make him look good in my opinion...and usually when someone says they are a bad trainer actually means they are a pretty good trainer...so you can't fool me...have a great weekend my friend...

sherrcon I’m a beginner and I’m struggling, it doesn’t help that this is my first dog. I’ll never give up tho. my GSD puppy is a drama queen, and very stubborn. She knows I got the goods but she doesn’t want to work for it. She can do it but she’s so damn lazy. She would lie down and look at me with sad eyes whenever I tell her to do something. She gives me the “i can do whatever I want boy” She’s a lazy bastard, it’s hilarious but it can be frustrating. She does things sometimes but her consistency is off. Unlike most dogs, she isn’t happy when she does a successful trick. She’s just like “alright ok I’ll do it, now hurry up and give me the treat boy!”

sherrcon I’m just honest with myself. Not humble. Huge difference :p

I own a Malinois and know this very well. Their noses are so powerful the pick up on anything and everything. Often time it'll get them in trouble. His Mal however is well behaved and in control, and... SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! 😍

I was laughing out loud at that part! So amazing!

It's so so cute. My dog does it

Depends on the breed.

@@1Kitykat True, but get a pure bred GSD and you will find that they are the best of dogs. I love them with all my heart and come December, I'm starting with a new female GSD puppy. Sooo looking forward to our new family member.

@@josephin521 That's awesome! Congrats on the new puppy :)

Got.me.an American bulldog and she's great buy she's also a bulldog . Stubborn. She started listening to me once she realized she wasn't in charge

I’m wondering how you did that. I know Tom talked about how to wean them off of treats, however I’m wondering how you started off not using treats and got your dog to pick up commands with out food? I’m thinking abt getting a second dog and my first dog I used treats for and she is having problems like laziness when training, unwilling, very lackadaisical. If I get a second dog I want it to be very simular to how Lakota responds to Tom. Can you give me any advice. And yes I would get another gsd.

Thanks!

It’s great isn’t it :)

Amazing!

The tone of your voice is a great traing tool and in general life with your dog also.

Yes!

Won't work for every breed but congrats

@@rhyswillett153 Jesus Christ he just said it was for his dog 🤦🏾‍♂️. He didn't say he was training every breed .

Hahaha. It is said that pit type dogs Mastiffs, Boxers, Bullmastiffs, & any other droving or livestock Guardian dogs that are independent thinkers will train you if you're not careful. You absolutely must be smarter than they are... or it's going to be game-set-match in their favor!. Next time you get a puppy- wait, is your pit still a puppy by the way? Anyway with the independent thinker breeds I found it easier to be quiet and observant of everything your pup does, as you see it begin to sit or lay down or any other thing give that thing a name and call out the word and praised the dog for doing it and as the dog is happy and you're clapping for it or you have the happy voice and you're saying thank you or whatever your reward phrase is that puppy is going to want to come to you immediately so call its name and say come or he'll or whatever and praised it for coming to you, and at that time you can physically guide him and sit him by your right or left side if you are going to use the word heel or the very short phrase "to me", or just say come/c'me'ere... just think ahead to what you want your dog to do and figure out what word you want to use if not the everyday average obedience words. I took in a stray Boxer that was so afraid of me I had to use K9 juvenal whine and cry on my back legs in the air Behavior to get her to come close and then I could not make a move or should be halfway down the block by the time I sat upright. Didn't know what she had been through didn't know whether I could trust her or not dot-dot-dot she had a habit of looking me in the eyes as if trying to assess whether she could trust me or not. And because fearful mistrusting dogs can be defensive and strike out and bite like a snake is unpredictable I assumed her to be just so. So we live together in the same house, checking each other out I only gave her attention when she did something I wanted her to do such as sit beside me or lay down beside my chair and I would say sit or to me or down. And it was the down at the side of my chair that I begin to teach her stay because I would get up and go and she would have followed me and then I turn around and go right back to my chair eventually she would get tired I'm going with me and she would opt to stay and simply watch me and then I would say the word and tell her good girl when I got back not right away but when I got back and gave her some Lovin and lots of attention and that was it she was the easiest dog ever because I did it that way she was only 4 to 6 months the vet said when I found her. She probably jumped her family's 4 foot fence - they can scale a ten foot with razor wire facing inward. I don't know if all could but Penny sure could! We were in the Philippines and my daddy was always saying I wonder if she would end up on somebody's dinner table. Apparently they couldn't catch her!

Not sure why Karen pulled a Karen on you. You are obviously a good owner and can train your dogs. My advice would be to train the Pit after exercising. Calm the body, calm the mind

This is called variable reward, basic for a dog trainer, reward every time to teach, get the to do the trick twice for one treat, do that a few times and then switch to random, or variable reward

@@kayceegreer4418 The same goes for northern breeds. Like Huskies, malamutes, samoyeds ext. All difficult high energy, independent, high prey driven dogs. Its not impossible, just more difficult. I am sure she is capable of training her dog.

@@norweldgp6250 We used to train dogs with high anxiety on a treadmill. Very low speed and incline for safety but it was an absolute game changer. Exercise always flushed the dog, which in turn helped it focus on the training instead of the anxiety.

:) thanks so much!

Absolutely...people are dumb....thats why I stopped human services after 12 years and started training dogs, haha!

Miscommunication is on both sides

My husky might be wiser than most, however she'sa terrible electrician/even worse engineer and gets confused by commands from disillusioned women....so speak for yourself Karen lol. 🚯🤦

I'm sure you have some dirty laundry of your own. Let's 👂

@@matthewball9055 lets hear about your dirty laundry so we can bash you

THANKS VERY MUCH PORTIA!

Thanks for watching Vikki!

Keep at it, Vikki. As Tom said, you won't always have treats. Riley will work for the love of you. Shepherds are great like that.

HERE YA GO! GOOD LUCK, THANKS FOR WATCHING!

If you search Tom's playlists, there are videos of his early training with either Lakota or maybe it was Hauck...can't recall which. Either way it shows some great foundational work.

I've found that working with hand signals can be helpful. Dog HAS to be watching you for hand signals, while voice commands don't require a focus on you. Use the dogs name to get their attention, then the hand signals. Has helped me.

I don't think Stress equals Success.... Calm, patience, consistency & Love.... Watch a variety of Tom's videos and see what owners are having issues with (and if any are similar to yours, all the better to watch and learn from). Tom uses a variety of tools like different collars n leashes to help communicate better etc. You are on the right path looking for info to help your new doggo. Best wishes to you both!

THANKS FOR WATCHING, I HOPE THIS HELPS!

I'll start using these techniques as soon as she wakes up. We spent about 2 hours running through the woods so she'll nap for maybe 30 minutes. I also started training with her Rex specs today. Do you have any recommendations as far as how long each day I should keep them on her until she's 100% comfortable? After wearing them in the house for a few minutes, she played fetch for about a minute in the woods before taking them off.

Had an idiot owner have his dog run up on my old GS- are you that idiot lol? This owner of course tells me "Dont worry hes friendly" Im thinking, "Okay....but clearly he doesnt listen to you and you're irresponsible for having him off leash", then all the sudden the dog went to snap at my guy, and I'll tell ya- I came very close to giving the dog a boot to the face but managed to scoop mine up well having some choice words for the owner. If you truly care about yor dog, do not let your dog off the leash if you can't 100% gaurantee itll come back to you everytime.

Well even people people don't get paid for every single task, they get paid at the end of the week or month or whatever. We'll happily do our jobs knowing that we'll be rewarded at some point in the future. Dogs are the same, perhaps even more so.

There is a video or a series of videos of him doing training with Hawkin his other German Shepherd. There are a few more videos of him training other people’s dogs in the other videos. We’ve trained our giant schnauzer without issues after watching his videos. Look thorough his play list

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING ANNE--MARIE!

THANKS FOR WATCHING!

@@tomdavisofficial house calls?

Caesar Milan has one in his KZfaq channel

and when they have gotten access to the reinforcement they are right, that's why they get the reinforcement.

Upstate Canine Academy you say “good heel” “good sit” etc and repeat it a lot. Not only does the repeating weaken the cue, but it weakens your marker when you mark 100s of times and only reward every once in a while. Again, the marker is meant to clearly communicate to the dog they’ve accessed reinforcement, so if you don’t reinforce after a conditioned marker, you weaken it. And if your markers are not only inconsistent in their meaning, but you are not consistent with HOW you mark, then you’re just spewing word salad.

World salad. Hm. 😂

matthew dahm a treat in your left hand at waist height and praise her n say left n reward with treat....

Also... remember to keep the commands simple. Such as "left- sit- down, or lay and so on. And use one word commands, clearly, so the dog understands. They don't actually "know" what the word means, they listen for the phonetics of the word. So keep that in mind when giving commands, so the commands don't rhyme, like "lay" and "stay". It saves from confusion. Most trainers use the "down" command to make the dog lay down instead of "lay" for that very reason. One word commands, consistently and clearly so the dog understands and they should catch on quickly! I also train my dog at the same time(or as close as I can!) Everyday. It gives them something to look forward to, and they usually get very excited when that time of day comes around if your training well, consistently, the dogs learning, and your both having fun. Make sure and catch that time out for your buddy. It doesn't take hours to work with a good dog. A half hour of good training is more than enough time, as long as your consistent. If you give them that time, they usually don't disappoint. It depends on the dog also, but most breeds like Shepards, collies, labs, water dogs, "working" breeds live/ love to train and learn!

*Carve, not catch.

Also do not wait that the dog will do it all the time when you are walking it. Do have your dog exercised before.

If you rescued a dog from the woods, its not WILD...hahaha. If it has good manners....its been in a home and trained a bit. Anyway....every dog is different but if you "cant carry treats all the time"....you probably should NOT have a coonhound or any dog. Some dogs need treats...it helps "shape" the dog and also build trust/respect. You dont need a trainer, its not rocket science. Rewards, consistency, accountability, corrections as needed once you teach the dog the command...start inside and on a leash to assist the dog to proper position....hounds talk.....try to correct that behavior but thats what they do...it needs a job...also what they were bred to do....haha.

Its not nonsense. Listen to what is being taught here. Behavior -> Reward. Its simple and gets the job done and this video helps you shape how you train the dog. Saying its nonsense will have you end up like those owners that he described at the start-those that only get the desired behavior in exchange for food every single time. If you're not willing to learn, dont have a dog. They need that structure to learn

Eddie Maxwell they use contact heeling so the dog doesn’t need to focus on the handler for movement. Reward will also need to be away from the handler.. maybe the decoy in a field or a tug a few yards away. More often then not dogs will understand contact heeling much easier then traditional heeling because it is a black and white movement you’re either touching me or you’re not. Dogs understand that far easier then walk next to me but not that far in front but not that far behind not crabbing etc etc.. try it out also the between the legs healing is a great way to start..at least that’s what I have found

Forget to switch accounts?

Your dog sounds like it needs to be socialized. It takes a lot of practice and patience but it can be done. My poodle went from being so aggressive that she had to wear a muzzle her first year to training class. With practice she became so use to the other dogs at class she would go lay down with them when we were taking a break.

My puppy has already gotten to the point that no dog treat is enough so I'm trying to move out of treat training because it isn't working at all for her.

Nicholle Akkerman Hand signals are much easier for the dog to understand. Language is a foreign concept to animals.

Yeah! You can do both, a cue, with language and hand signals! Hand signals is what you should be using to!!

I have mine trained with both sound and signal as well. One of the best things I ever did. I dont even have to talk to him.

That’s epic

@Austin Lee Agreed. Police dogs are a good example ie. when they're focused on their target instead of the handler. Verbal is the only means then.

The yes marks the correct behavior..... That's #1....you gotta say in within 1 second of the behaviour to they know what they did right. Then reward after when you want.

Saying yes is showing your dog that you approve. After a while of proper training, most dogs will seek for that approval. Over time that approval becomes the reward instead of the treat. This is harder for dogs like Huskies because they don't care about approval as much, but with repetition it should still be able to be done.

The dog just needs to know the moment in time where they did the behavior you were asking correctly. That’s what a verbal marker is. You’re marking the behavior with a sound instead of a piece of food. BUT!!!, you have to take the time to teach the verbal markers as well. Hope this helped.

@@vcommodore9161 not how marker word works at all

You might be giving treats too often. Stop using treats to praise for a while, let your dog forget they even exist. Their focus should then wander elsewhere, where you should be able to fill that void with a toy and build toy drive in your dog. Look up videos on how to build drive (or toy drive) in your dog, after getting rid of food treats for a while, you should be able to work with toys a lot more.

Nancy Driessen lol. I have a female German shepherd four month old that is lazy, unmotivated and pretty. She has already learned several things and food has been the only way. I already removed food when she sits and when she goes to place. In 2 weeks. The trick in my opinion is not to train without food but to remove it as they learn. 😊

Chartist sounds like my ex

when your shiba inu loves NOTHING, NOTHING I SAY... well... you use leash-nagging to crush them into choosing a sort of minimal... co-operation.? I'm fine with it. It works for us.

Use light leash pressure.Do not feed treats 24/7 and do not leave the dogs toys out 24/7.Pick one toy and make them forgot about it.Then the toy will be new and exciting same with treats.
