I trained my rescue dog "in the old days" with all shaping. What I enjoyed was seeing her THINK as she tried things to get the approximation of the end goal, and then as she got the end goal behavior. Now I have a puppy and I'm "re-learning" training and gosh so much of it is lures. Until this video, I thought it was "the new advancement" but the times I used lures, I found that my dog didn't THINK. This video sold me on going back to always shaping behaviors. The dog ends up not dependent on me. Instead she is doing good behaviors because SHE thought them through. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

shaping, or click-reward when the dog does the right thing or a step in the process toward the whole that you want. [this is how we train parrots] .. also is a bridge or a communication-thread between the dog and the human! not just a dog following a lure [or parrot for that matter]. . the dog has to think about what it is doing to get the click that ends in a reward.. or to get the verbal 'yes' or whatever the 'click' is if verbal. I have found clicking is best because it's decidedly different than a verbal and always heard by the dog when under distraction and excitement. the shaping creates a real relationship to the dog and the human as well. it's much more engaging.

Another phenomenal video. Thank you. The two things that stood out to me on my first listen were 1) both dog and trainer think less when using lures -- and I head-slapped "Shoot" that's part of why there's all this lack of clarity with my cues. And 2) "joy". I stopped showing when my dog had no joy in the ring. Watching a team perform with joy is awe-inspiring. This will help me (and my dog). I am sure this is one video I'll watch many times. Thank you again for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and your delightful spirit. Always uplifting.

Thanks so much for sharing Susan! I did a “Professional Dog Trainer Certification” program that was all lure based training. It worked well for my retired racing greyhound who was a lazy dog who was happy just to chill. I now have a 1 yr old greyhound and have pretty much tossed that training all out the window, he found much more reinforcement from his environment because the lure was not teaching him how to make good choices. Through your methods I have already seen such huge differences, yes it will take time to undo those triggers and patterns he initially learned but I know with time we will get there! So much learning for both of us that will eventually lead to more and more successful rehearsals 😁🙌

That's the key. Luring = no thinking involved. No thinking inhibits learning. I have been saying this for years, and got into a lot of trouble for saying so. Allowing dogs chance to think and work things out for themselves, creates super learning, and great pathways, it's wonderful to watch too. I have amazing Setters who are super learners and love what they do. They can do things without food in sight, as once they have learned, they truly understand and just love what they do. Great all rounders in dog sports too, with the young one learning competition obedience. Breaking it all down into small chunks and creating the wow - this is just grrrrrreat isnt it, factor. The food, the toy is the reward, not the lure, not the bribe.

Really interesting topic. Enjoyed hearing the science. My last dog, I never used lures, or treats, in his training. Partly because I’m just not organised enough to remember to bring any with me on a walk, and partly because when he initially came to me as an 8 yr old Romanian rescue, a Carpathian shepherd (livestock guardian), he wasn’t food orientated. He had been cooped up in a shelter or on a chain for so long, the whole world was way too distracting and exciting to be thinking about his stomach. And I just needed to teach him the basics, not any fancy tricks. But with repetition, and some problem solving in trying to figure out how I could get him to understand what I was asking, or how to get and keep his attention because his breed type is one that is always watching the horizon for danger- he learned SO good… and the only reward he got in training sessions was a scritch and praise. Or an “ah-ah-ah” if I wanted him to stop. And once something was locked in, he was reliable at it. I’m about to adopt two younger dogs, also Romanian rescues, also livestock guardian dogs, and your videos are teaching me loads. But I don’t want to teach them to expect treats for doing what they’re asked to do… coz what happens when I run outta treats?

Susan, I have been to several trainers and was always taught dog training via luring. When I started discovering your podcasts it was life-changing to me and the way I teach my dog. This is especially true for my agility goals. It is so true though that you tend to go back to what you have been taught and I frequently catch myself accidentally luring with food. I am currently struggling with the Seesaw for my dog. She made significant progress with the Seesaw I have in our yard and at the outdoor agility course. She would go up the Seesaw and down no problem many times over on these outdoor seesaws. The moment we went back to class and the Seesaw was out inside the classroom she heard the Seesaw and it was like everything we built up was gone. I made the mistake of trying to flood her by putting her on the sea salt and making her do it anyway. I learned what a mistake that is and that it is called flooding from your podcast. Now even with the outdoor seesaw she will not even want to go within a few feet of the seesaw. I have started back to square one and asking for any interaction with the Seesaw and rewarding with a clicker and treat. But progress is slow and I would love to know how you train a dog to love the Seesaw with transfer of value when the dog is very fearful and already has the mindset that the noise from the Seesaw is the scariest monster out there. Thank you so much for all you do and your help with educating us aspiring agility handlers.

How do you navigate shaping vs. luring in canine fitness? I am trying to find more ways to shape exercises with all my dogs, but especially with my puppy who really hasn’t had anything lured (she has been entirely trained with the Susan Garrett method that we learned in the Dog’s That podcast, Home School the Dog, and Recallers). It seems like every conditioning course that I have taken always uses luring in order to “ensure proper form.” A fitness example: going from stand to down where the dog shifts backwards into down and then forward into stand without moving their feet. Is canine fitness better to lure to “ensure proper form?” How can we incorporate more shaping into fitness? Thanks so much! We are so thankful for you and your team!

Just watched this and realized that I unintentionally switched from luring with my first dog to not luring with my second, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. While my first dog is brilliant and driven, she's also singularly focused on the treat and the hands. She also became hard to convince to do certain things unless she saw a treat. My second dog I decided to change things up and not keep treats in my hands or show it first, and he's much more willing to work because he knows he WILL get a reward if he does well, even if he can't see it. It hadn't occurred to me quite the depth of difference between the two methods, but your video definitely helps reinforce my choices when we're in a class that's using food lures and I choose to substitute my open palm or pointing - it's hard to go against the grain!

Hi Ms. Garrett. Thank you so very much for this educational video. I am so glad I found you on KZfaq! Every person who is supposed to be a trainer, use food luring. Growing up, I never heard of food luring. What I do remember is people training their dogs without any food lures and their dogs turned out fine. I liked how you explained things in this video. I’m glad that I was one of the very few people who would not use food luring, which is a distraction, as part of my dog training, as a possible trainer. Stay healthy, happy and safe.

Brilliant! My dogs are taught primarily with shaping. But I still use luring in my beginner agility classes because owners are sooo wanting to get their dogs on the equipment. While I emphasize that we want to get rid of the lure is quickly as possible, I think these humans would not be happy with the slower but steadier and more reliable training that I do with my own dogs. I do teach my students about targeting; but I have to wonder... isn't targetting a form of luring?
@jennyvalcore6417 Жыл бұрын
I think luring has its place.. and you can improve the speed of shapes behavior by adding the lure at key points.. as in, to get the dog over a difficult learning hurdle at some phase in the shaping. .. by Implementing a lure at the point allows them to connect the steps into one action more quickly at times. .. I think lures are powerful when used in the proper place.. but not so much when used solely . Also a lure can get the dog to begin an action we want.. and the. We can start shaping from there and let the lure go.. so it’s a sort of balance with using both effectively it seems

Good discussion! I watched a video that described providing value to your dog in order to get the dog to consistently come to you. You have to make yourself more valuable than whatever it us they are doing. I can tell with my dog that he is fully engaged and excited to do things when he gets the sense that I am also excited and making it fun for him. He still gets treats but not nearly as much. I found that treats made me a bit lazy in first teaching my dog the foundational skills that are so helpful later. An example is those talking buttons people use with their pets. You can tell which pet owners used patience to first teach what "touch this" meant before moving on to the buttons. As owners we get excited to get to the end result and often sabotage ourselves and make it more difficult.

I will be watching more of your videos. I currently have 10 dogs, most from shelters. Many of these dogs come to me having never heard the words, 'good dog', they only know fear of being hit or kicked or yelled at. They do not have to compete, but they need to learn the rules of the house and sometimes I have to do this as gently as possible until they trust me. Keeping treats with me didn't work because all of the dogs want a treat if I treat one dog since they are all with me all of the time. Instead, I started giving all the dogs a meat treat twice a day, once in the morning when they all go outside - a word they know - and do their morning business and at the end of the night when it's time to go to bed. I tell them what good dogs they are when they get the treat. Some know to sit for their treat because I taught some of them to sit with a treat reward, so I reinforce that and one very intelligent dog learned to sit from watching the others. This way they seem to learn that the word 'good' is associated something good. It seems to be working. When they are outside I observe and use any opportunity to reinforce some basic skill that they already have by just giving them loads of praise which seems to be all they need in return. When I call one of them and they start coming toward me I get all excited and wave my arms and they get excited and come faster and we all just have a good time with that recall. They have fun, they watch me and have lots of try. I don't know if that is a proper way to train but it works for my pack. I do want to learn more about shaping, though.

This is very well explained. I've never used lures as a chair user. Then recently my 5 yr old dog was attacked and my dog became reactive. She's a big girl English mastiff. She is my support dog. She went from a role model dog who also visited hospital as a therapy dog for patients to unpredictable. I struggled desensitising her as an adult 67kg dog. She would just lunge 1metre and sit as if stay away! No bite worries but concerned that it may lead to that. Feeling beaten I employed a so called top trainer. I told her I didn't use lures and it wasn't practical for me either. First walk and the trainer wouldn't take the lead and we came across a dog. She insisted on full on let's go to the park that in my mind set her up to fail. Anyway my dog lunged. I was still in my chair at this point. Then the trainer threw sausages behind me on the floor 😑 and which flipped me backwards out the chair. My dog ate the sausage whilst I was on the deck thinking oh great I've been rewarded for lunging. Then lunged again. Somehow I kept hold of her. Hasten to add I did not pay the trainer. Not wishing to give up I bought a heavy power chair and 6 months later I have my dog back.

Wonderful podcast, Susan! I'd love for you to do a podcast on how you quickly got the golden retrieving. I'm working with my Ellie on the "Bring Me" program, but I still have some road bumps with retrieving certain objects. Training bumpers are still self reinforcing to Ellie. I tried to go through as many objects as possible for the stage where Ellie just puts the object in my hand. I've kept Ellie on lead when I have new objects. Whenever a bumper comes into the picture, Ellie wants to shake the bumper and try to dart away. I make sure to control the environment in a corner and have Ellie on lead. I'm just not sure how to increase the value for bringing any and everything back to me. I'd love to hear in a podcast how you found the golden retriever's highest value reinforcement. Ellie has had amazing cookies and tug toys, so I'm not sure how to up my antics. I fear the value is still in the cookies/rewards and not me. Listening to this podcast is going to make me more aware to always have reinforcements hidden before given to Ellie. I think I do a pretty good job at this, but I'm going to re-evaluate my mechanics. One question I have for this podcast relates to when you mentioned you don't voice you have a cookie. I'm a Recallers student. One game we are constantly building on right now is "Working through Distractions." I don't want to disclose the content of this game, and please let me know if I should post this to the Recallers community instead. In the beginning of the "Working through distractions" lesson, you mention when there is a distraction your dog is locking up on, you retreat with some distance. I have been doing this with Ellie for things she is reactive to like cars, livestock, etc. In the video, you also mention you'll vocalize, "Here's a cookie." Are you saying the words as you are delivering a cookie? When a truck pulled into my driveway and Ellie was focusing on it, I found myself pulling out the cookie and then saying, "Here's a COOOOOOKIE." Now I feel like I was luring her away from the trigger. Can you provide clarity on the mechanics of the process of working through distractions like tractors (or whatever the trigger may be)? Thank you in advance!

Fantastic, as always :) I am beginning flatwork, for a foundation for agility, and am struggling with spins. My aussie is very forward facing. Everyone, everyone has advised me to teach this by luring her. Well...she will back up, rear up and 'cirque de soleil' herself to get the lure but I still haven't been able to get her to spin. Any advice on how I might be able to shape this, and maybe meet with success? (Fingers crossed!)

All my puppy's behaviors have been shaped.... except for the stacking for conformation. Not surprisingly, it's his weakest behavior. 😕 I learned my lesson!

I remember hearing her telling that story about the German Shepherd in a different video about conditioned emotional response. Maybe it was podcast #176 but I’m not certain without going through and rewatching everything.

I am starting agility training with my dog and it is going pretty well. Once he learns a trick, he is very good. However, he does not OFFER at all! He will sit and stare at me instead of trying something new to get a treat. I understand that he has been lured too much in the past and has never learned shaping. But how do I fix this and get him to start offering?

Normally,I enjoy your videos. They are fun and insightful to watch. 🐾😀 This one seemed incomplete. So less about how other trainers use lure shaping and more about how you do it differently. Did you cover this in another video that I missed?

HOW YOU DID RETRIEVING? :) :) Yes I want to know!!! :) . I love your video because I do not like lure at all (and people think I'm weird ;))... I rather never use, for plenty of reason you said... But I would enjoy to have clue to remove 100% lure. In order to help better my client, I was about to learn them more about food lure, as Doc Ian dunbar explain: lure is only the 6-10 first time, and then stop. So that mean just day 1 with lure. But if you can give more information to never use lure... I would totally enjoy! And thanks for the dopamine vidéo! (even if it give me more questions before than after saw it! :) More i learn, more i realise I kwow rather nothing!).

Watched a dog at a barn hunt seminar try to get food from a hand held near the rat tube for a while, then give up, leave, and go to greet all the people instead. Trainer said some nonsense about the dog caring more about attention. Nope. That dog did what I bet it usually does around a hand with food. When that was the wrong answer it went to go find some other reinforcement. Some half decent shaping and getting the food out of the way until after the behavior and neither dog nor human would have had to get to that level of frustration.

My positive from this seminar was I passed by a training facility on the way I’ve never heard of before that looks like it could be really good.
