In this adorable clip featuring Otis, a charming and energetic puppy, it's easy to mistake the scene as simply free feeding time. However, behind the seemingly casual atmosphere lies a wealth of valuable learning moments.
Otis, with his quick movements and friendly demeanor, is a prime example of a pup eager to absorb new skills. His desire for food makes him a highly trainable, his lack of patience means I need to be quick with rewards!
Watch how quickly I am able to teach him that:
1. Sitting is a good idea
2. Staying with me, when people are near is rewarding
3. I will still be available, even if he is distracted by something he sees moving.
Sitting is Rewarded:
Through swift and effective communication, Otis learns that sitting is not just a suggestion but a commendable behavior. This simple act becomes associated with positive outcomes, reinforcing the desired behavior.
Staying Close is Rewarding:
Amidst distractions, Otis discovers the value of staying close to me when people are nearby. This lesson cultivates a sense of security and reinforces the behavior that will ultimately become a much wanted habit.
Attention Despite Distractions:
Despite the distraction of movement and activity, Otis learns that I am still available and connected to him, in-spite of his visual needs. This crucial skill to look at movement and know I will be there when he returns prepares him for real-world scenarios where distractions abound.
It's a common pitfall for pet partners to succumb to frustration, hindering effective teaching. However, the key lies in adapting to the individual puppy's pace and temperament. As Otis demonstrates, the speed of delivery must match the need of the puppy in the beginning!
Understanding the reasons behind puppy behaviors, such as jumping up, provides insight into effective training strategies. Whether driven by excitement, extreme sociability, high arousal or the promise of tasty treats, addressing these behaviors through positive reinforcement fosters a harmonious relationship between pup and owner.
While management techniques like stepping on the leash may offer temporary solutions, changing our dog's behavior is cultivated through proactive teaching. By emphasizing the importance of sitting and staying close from the outset, owners lay the foundation for future training endeavors, such as teaching the pup to "go say hi" as they mature.

Enjoy the journey and remember you will have a puppy for two to three years!

Nice to see a training video with a dog that is actually training. A lot of times the dog already knows what to do.

Would like to see this with a guest coming to the door and entering the space. Some walking by at a 30’ away seems like a good start ….but….

You are right, this was his first day of training. He needs lots of repetition in a neutral place. Then out on walks, in his yard and finally at his door. Fortunately, he is very motivated by food!

Your videos are simply amazing! Thank you soon much for sharing your knowledge. What I appreciate that you work with dogs who are not already trained. Would it be possible for you to do a video on how to teach a dog drop in motion on a recall coming towards the handler? Thank you!

Thanks for your comment! I’ll add a drop on recall video to my list for June!

@@JudyAMooreCBCLLC I will be looking forward it!!! I know that many trainers have a difficult time in teaching this as well as teaching the drop while the dog is moving away from the handler, too. And thank you for all that you do for dogs and people, too.

This approach demands a certain skill set level, it will first take time for the owner to acquire those skills, and the dog will also need to be conditioned on following the hand( so that it can be lured into the required position(heel as you demonstrated) not very practical advice for a novice dog and owner, your approach, it requires an investment in time, learning both the entry skills, that will take a profesional trainer and some finance.

You are right, dog training is an investment in time, much like raising a child. Fortunately, anyone can learn humane dog training techniques if they desire a strong relationship with their dog.
