It's interesting how when your dog's come up and ask for affection, you send them away. I do that too and then invite them back. I've been exploring behavior based training for a while but I still always thought I was weird for doing certain things. Glad to hear you talk about it

I'm getting ready for my puppy since January this year. I went to a dog show to see the dog in person and found an amazing breeder in Poland. I've watched almost all the videos on KZfaq regarding puppy development, training, RAW feeding, grooming, dog parks :/, etc. I'm getting my long awaited puppy in October. I've listened to many dog trainers and Larry, you are the best!!! Clear with your thoughts, successful in training, and straight to the point. Thanks for taking your time to share your experiences and educate us all !!

Hi Larry I’m bringing home my 8week old labradoodle Bailey on Friday , I’ve been listening to your videos and feel a lot more confident about bringing him home, thank you for that...watch this space🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I saw many working dog training videos on youtube. Most of the trainers will just say "good boy". No treats, no petting, no hugging,... Working dogs were bred to love working. They only need to know when their mission has been accomplished. A little compliment will be a good reward for them. Same for humans. It is good enough to get a good grade from a class. You don't want to celebrate each time your kid gets an A in a class. Yet many kids are motivated cause they know they have "achieved" something. Of course your verbal compliment will reinforce your kids even more. "Good boy" or "Good job" or "I am proud of you". LOL

Larry, you are truly a gift to dogs and dog owners. I wish you had your own reality show.

Bro... You're my dude man seriously! Haha, bro you're amazing. This is the 5th or 6th video in a row that I've watched. I have a 2 year old girl, my 1st ever dog and all the things that you've been saying is pretty much bang on. I also put in a Mega amount of training in her early days but now, next time I know what other hints and tips I will diffnetly. Love you're videos bro keep making moves my man much love..

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Larry. I'm trying to learn all I can so my puppy and I have the BEST experience together.

Thanks for sharing this valuable perspective. It helps to hear about successfully living with high energy, high drive dogs- not just training them. I think there may be something to the idea that we've gotten to the point of too much micro managing of our dogs around the clock (not management like crating). At the end of the day, I want a dog who is pleasant to live with when he's just being a dog. Not just under strictly controlled behavioral and environmental conditions.

I find your attitude about dogs and dog training to be so true and inspirational. Thanks so much!

This was so incredibly helpful. Amazing how we tend to over-complicate things.

Thanks, Larry. So much love your content? What’s behind the thought that “working dogs must have a job”? Quite a few people have said my dog needs protection or tracking training. I’m pretty comfortable with her just being a great pet dog. At 10 months, and she’s a GSD, she’s very good with obedience and loves training with toys, and she’s fantastic in the house. So, do I absolutely have to give her a job or will she be content forever just being a great pet? Oh, and we do exercise a lot.

There are also quite a few dogs out there that compete in obedience, sports , etc that don’t behave well in the home and the real world. Great video.

listened to the interview this morning!!

Thank you so much Larry!!! Very helpful!!!! You Rock!

One of my top videos to watch. Always go back to watching this as a point of reference. Great videos 👌🏼 @shadowdarottweiler

Well said brother totally on point nice work!

Great wise words :) Thanks Larry :)

Thank you for the video, you are awesome 👍👍👍

Great advice

Larry keep up the humor in ur videos

Thanks Larry buddy!

This helps a lot!

Larry, love your videos thank you. you say you dont let them out the crate ("not let loose if no one is home") if no one is home. does that apply even if you could leave them in the back yard just free and roaming? thank you for your time

Hey Larry, I appreciate all the advise you give. I have a litter of Dutch x Mals on the way. Do you have any advice for creating great dogs from day one?

YOU THE BEST!!

Great podcast. Thanks for the tip. You LOVED that interview right ?

How do you create the calmness in the dog with company around? Rushing to doors, demanding to be pet by throwing body or head on laps as soon as your guest sit down, constantly asking to be pet and so on?

What is the name of the podcast??

Hi Larry! Have you worked with small breed dogs at all? What I wouldn't give to send my Chi-Terrier mix to ya for a couple of weeks. The biggest challenge is that no matter how hard I try to enforce the need to treat him as we would a bigger dog, my kids let him get away with everything because he's little and cute. Sheesh.

Quick question for Larry. I have 2 GSD s they are 2.5 yr old in tact males. I live with mine similarly to your philosophy. Here is my question. I the morning one of them is very happy and excited he is the first to come to my bed when I get up. Then he rushes out the door then comes back maybe with a ball. The other walks with me. We have a morning routine so regardless of how much excitement the one dog has and all his rushing nothing ever changes. So is his first out the door thing indicative of a future problem? Thanks

There's a lady on KZfaq who talks about food and feeding your dog. It's the best video I seen. The title is pack leader eats first and shows the women standing in her kitchen feeding her Doberman. Worth checking out.

I totally agree to the way you keep your dogs at home. It is tidy and safe for all family members including the dog. I really need to know the best way to tell my rottweiler puppy I want him to stop doing something like don't enter that door or stop sniffing or liking the couch. She understands I'm sure she does but she is so stubborn, she stops on my command but then she keeps trying over and over. I followed many of your instructions luring her to do stuff and rewarding her good behavior. What I really need to know is how to stop her from doing stuff. And thanks Larry you're doing some great videos here giving tons of good advice. Keep it up man.

people forget that commends should serve a purpose. it doesn't make sense to give commends left and right, without any reason lol

The food aggression thing, man i could not agree more with you. I remember what my great grandfather always told me. Don´t mess with a sleeping dog and leave the dog the hell alone while he is eating. Absolutely true, people annoy the living shit out of their dogs while they are eating and then they wonder why the dog becomes aggressive/food possessive

LARRY , thankyou for all your wisdom on training dogs. Can you give me any advice on training a St. Bernard that was given to me at 5 1/2 months of age.

I brought home an almost 2 year old rottie in July 2023 and have a 2 year old rottie. They have played rough in the house from the jump. How do I change that behavior at this point? Redirect them?

@Larry krohn "Sorry about the NWA look". LMAO

I currently have a gsd 8.5 week bitch, she's a kc reg, during the day she sleeps and plays in the yard , at night she has her own room down stairs . She loves to bites , whenever she does I hold her mouth shut and blow in her nose and tell her no and then stop playing or petting her then 30secs later come back but with a toy (so she can bite in that) it sometimes works. She knows how to sit but only does it for food , and whenever there is people around she gets too excited and ignores me completley she is recently she is getting to naught . Please help me , I have invested a lot of time and money into her and want the best for her and my family , thank you

Do you feed a 8wk old puppy three times a day. And remove food till the next meal? So their bowels work approximately the same time per day. I understand you leave the food for mature dogs. But what about the potty training time? ☺💝

👍🌸👍🌸👍🌸

hey i know this is a older video but what u meant by sorry for the nwa look

My question is when introducing a new puppy to an older one. Especially at feeding time.

All of my dogs when eating I can put my hand or I can put my face down there. Cause when I 1st get them I am always around them while eating.. I just want my dogs to rust me. Except on walks all my dogs are very protective. Why I don't know . But I do tell them to leave it.

I let my dogs on the furniture but they learn a very clear "off" command.

Will a puppy understand all this after 5 months

What's a place command.

"Place Command" for hours at a time? People really do that? Wow. I am WAY TOO PERMISSIVE of a dog parent. I'm trying to change that, I recognize I've significantly created issues. Trying to change. But the opposite end of the spectrum sounds terrible.
