Miles, you are such a talented educator! I am so glad to have found your videos. I share them daily with other dog owners and social media groups on training reactive dogs. You do such a structured and clear presentation.😊 Thank you!! You don't ramble or get out of character or teaching mode. This is a true gift. You are destined to go far in your chosen career, in my opinion, as you are helping sooooo many frustrated dog owners who are not getting complete information in a simple way like you deliver. You aren't selling gimmicks. I wish you the very best in 2024, and don't ever change your style. Its PERFECT. You are pleasant, intelligent, calming, articulate, fun-loving, frank, truthful and caring! And much more. Dogs and dog owners are blessed to have you share your insight and experience! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Miles, you are an extremely intelligent young man. I am 70 years old and I am still learning so. I sure thank you for helping this old lady out. I got a new Rottweiler puppy 3 weeks ago and at the well check up vet visit there was an issue. I contacted the breeder and she said to bring the puppy back. The puppy was sold on a contract. I told her I was keeping the little guy. She ask me if I would bring him back so she could see him. I did, she seen the issue and told me to pick another puppy. I told her no I was keeping him. She gave me another puppy anyway. Now I have two 11 week old puppies. So your help is very valuable and appreciated right now.

I really love the way you explain and show. I find your personal approach really enlightening, like it just clicks better than when I watch other trainers. Question, when showing reps of down with Aarow, you started breaking up the downs with sit and place but I never saw you mark/reward place but you did with the sit. I was curious why that is? Also, I've never seen the test to see if your dog knows a command by making sure to remove all other gesture/lure types of things. I have really great obedience in the back yard, damn impressive to be honest. I feel like I could compete with him but in distractions it's a very different story. I've known that somehow I'm failing and have tried to use both positive and negative reinforcements without much success so I've just leveled up the consequences and I believe I've been unknowingly unfair and too aggressive. As a result, I feel like I've created high levels of frustration and distrust. So that's my main focus at the moment, working relationship and trust and trying to learn to be more calm and fair. Barking is one of the biggest things we are working to correct. I'm allowing him to bark when he thinks he needs to, giving it a moment and then trying to get him to stop. Otherwise he will just bark and bark. I am unsure how to force that to stop/hold him accountable. With a sit or similar behavior, I can use leash pressure directionally but I can't really hold his mouth shut because I'm not the devil lol. "Quiet" seems to be a different approach?

Is there anywhere to let him just run around somewhere before you go to put a leash on him? Sounds like a dog with a lot of pent-up energy and he gets super excited about the leash coming on and doesn't understand that a leash coming on does not mean we get excited(excitement is not a good thing in the dog world). Practice simply putting on the leash calmly and getting to the door without having the fuss before you ever even try to go out the door. Truthfully speaking there is not one piece of information that's going to help you because there's a lot going on with your dog and several things need addressed before simply getting him to stop being chaos on leash. Sometimes it's about saying I've had enough, knock it off! But it has to be believable to the dog. He needs to believe that you mean business.

@pittymama4500 he leashes up fine in the house, it''s when it's time to leave his run area. I have acreage, so the dog run is not right out the back door. I walk him to and from the run on a leash. I can let him drag a long light rope to step on, but it gets so muddy.

@pittymama45004 ай бұрын
@@deanne.m.sanderson do you know what breed or breeds he is and is he normally a high energy dog? Also, with can you breed that is not generally a lazy dog and a high-energy dog especially really needs a big open field to be able to run around on because having just a run for an hour a day is nothing for those dogs that need to burn up that energy. If they continue to build up the energy you're going to start having a dog that is very anxious, destroying things and chewing up stuff, won't be able to settle and constantly on alert. That's no way for a dog to live though, just like somebody with anxiety doesn't like to live with anxiety. They can't thrive when they aren't fulfilled. Thats when you get that crazy chaos on the leash because they just can't help themselves. Also you have to be sure to teach your dog leash pressure because they don't automatically know what you're doing with that rope and what it means. The daily walks is great but sometimes it's just not getting that fast twitch energy out of their muscles. There are just so many variables in telling you what's going on at the other end of the leash and the easiest route to fixing it. Meant a lot of that depends on what kind of dog and that individual dogs energy level

I love your videos and how you teach. My mountain cur does not feel obligated to jump in the car when I tell him to. It takes several, 4-8 requests before he jumps in (he rides in the cargo area of my Forester). He’s athletic and there is no physical reason why he can’t jump in. He just looks at me like “what do you want me to do?” He enjoys car rides, it takes us to good places like parks, so it’s not that he doesn’t want to get it. He gets excited when I say “let’s go for a ride”, but then we have to go through this frustrating routine. How can I make him feel obligated to jump in when I tell him to?

Give him the cue “in the car” or whatever you use, give him a few seconds, then negativity reinforce the behavior by making directional pressure on the leash into the car, then release the pressure and praise once he’s in the car.

your examples focus on commands and obedience, what about a behavioural issue? IE my dog is chasing chickens... The negative reinforcement seems obvious but how does positive reinforcement play out? Would you just reward the dog for walking around and not eating chickens? how would the dog associate this positive behaviour to NOT chasing chickens?
@_shiverstoriesАй бұрын
I think, from all the videos I've seen, it would be from watching your dog, right? Obviously, you would first negatively reinforce the dog to stop the behaviour to let them know that that isn't something you approve of then when they perform the behavior that you want (ie., they look at you after seeing the chickens run about instead of chasing after them) you would positively reinforce it. Since it is a behaviour issue, it won't be an instantaneous thing. From my understanding from the video and applying it to this situation that you're giving an example to, you would first have to dissuade the dog from doing the behavior from the first place and only reward them when they choose to not do it after dozens of repitions. In the end, it depends on the dog and the handler. The best thing to do in situations such as those is to find the solution within yourself and learn how your dog thinks. I hope you understand what I'm saying 😅

@hamiltondogtraining4 ай бұрын
That would actually be negative punishment! -P = Removing something to decrease the frequency of a behavior. In this example, you’d be removing (or withholding) the dollar, thus punishing the behavior of not wearing the seatbelt. This would be the same as you withholding the dog’s treat when you told them to down but they sat.

@BigBADSTUFF69 I just keep him on a long line in forests,he gets loads of time off lead , just in his husky genes , not convinced he should be punished with an electric shock for the way his genetics have programmed him , but obviously I can't allow him for safety reasons to chase so I meet him half way by playing loads of safe hunting games with him , I can honestly say I find it a dilemma my gut tells me we shouldn't breed genetically programmed dogs to live in the average household? My dog is a rescue ,I do my very best to meet his needs , he seems very happy and content , but his prey drive was unbelievable. I do seem to have calmed it with the games we play, so hopefully, his instinct is satisfied to some degree, I would add. I'm not totally opposed to the e-collar ? I wouldn't want to use it, but in the right hands, I could see that it could be beneficial to the dog ? The problem is that it would just be so abused in the wrong hands

Dogs don't generalize that well and I find it important to back up the criteria in a novel environment. Dialing back to R+ in new environment I find to be helpful more so than adding leash pressure. The dogs thinks I"I understand the command in the back yard with all its familiar smells and surroundings, but not at the busy park". Stepping back to help the dog and assessing whether the command is bullet proof and the dog is blowing me off versus the dog really not completely understanding the command in a novel (new) environment can be a gray area. Assessing the dog's arousal state also important. Are they dialed into me? Can I have them do a simple hand touch command in a arousing environment? (the first thing I taught my pup). Knowing the dog's head space is important too.
