I get a lot of questions about my dogs, and we’re covering some of your most popular. Have you ever wondered why our rescue Bulldog mix, Tater-Salad, is the “fall guy”? Or which one of my dogs is the smartest (the answer is NOT who you might think it is)? Do you wonder how to select a dog training class or what to do when you have a male dog and your female dog is in season? I’m answering those questions and more!
In the episode you'll hear:
• About Tater’s secret life as an actor.
• Which one of my dogs is the smartest.
• What dog sport I would do if I didn’t compete in dog agility.
• Where my dogs sleep at night and how often I feed my dogs.
• Why naughty is in the eye of the beholder and how often I train my dogs.
• Why you don’t want to know how much it costs to breed dogs.
• The favorite activities my dogs enjoy and what I think is the best number of dogs.
• Why my first dog was a Terrier.
• The biggest challenges I’ve had training.
• If my dogs have dewclaws.
• The three words I’ve never say about dogs.
• What I look for when I go to a training class.
• My favorite qualities of my dogs.
• Why I do jump grids for agility.
• The challenges I add when building a dog training skill.
• How I select a breeder and what I do when my female dogs are in season.
• That my agility dogs do not fast before competition.
• My observations about social learning in dogs and borrowing confidence.
• Why Tater came to live with us.

Woot! Terriers are a spunky fun bunch! And also super challenging hehehe! I've had 2 JRTs, Flash and Skip, and both have been stubborn cheeky little buggars, but also absolute hams, that just seem to live to make their people laugh! ^_^

Thanks for sharing, Susan. I feel better that my dog is not too spoiled with her bed time snacks. Loved your feedback on social learning too! My low drive dogs worked really well together, building drive in an almost competitive way.

I love that you shared that you let your dogs sleep anywhere they'd like! Too often I get a shocked look from people when they find out we don't crate our dogs at night to sleep. The crates are out if they choose so, but like yours, they all have found their preferred places to sleep!

@sophiesmith5922 2 жыл бұрын

I only crated my dogs at night until I could trust them not to shred my house. But then, my pup grew up to assume that was her bed and put herself in there for years. (not locked) I had to remove crates when the elder dog couldnt get up easily and it was too hard to get her out.

Dogs who are "non biddable" or "not as easy to motivate" like primitives breeds and possibly like Tater (although I don't know him well), are extremely intelligent! Same level as the easier motivated breeds or types like border collies or shepherds, just a different type of intelligence. They are so smart that they KNOW what they want, and they don't see the benefit in them just simply working for the human (unlike dogs who do the work because they love it!). This "stubborn" label that people give these dogs isn't really about the dog being "stupid" or "hard-headed" it's them being smart, and saying "what's in it for me?", just like us humans do! You wouldn't do your day job for free every day for the rest of your life just because someone told you to, would you? :)

Is it a coincidence that you have a border collie named Momentum and Zac George has one named Inertia? I started training my new puppy last summer using many of Zac's videos, and just discovered yours, which I love! (And I am a physics teacher, so I love the names, too!)

@RaptorsGirl 2 жыл бұрын

LOL that’s a question for Zac since Momentum is several years older and there was a possibility that Zac was going to own one of her puppies!

I have a burning question for you, Susan. My 10 months old puppy is obsessed about people (since the day one) up to a point when it may be a danger to her (i. e. around traffic) . Today she got her nose in the heavy closing doors because she wanted to chase my neighbour. The greatest value for her is jumping on people (strangers as well as friends). Since this is an issue I have been working on from the very beginning, clearly my training doesn't work (and it's rewarding every second od not jumping and being neutral around people). She doesn't jump on me, but everytime she manages to get attention from passerbies is incouraging to her. I carry treats and toys all the time to distract her from people (we live in urban area) but it works only sometimes. We exercise calm greetings/no-greetings) at the door but she can't handle the excitement. When I think she is calm already the person enters the door but she always manages to find a way to jup on that person. I live alone, so it's also hard for me to arrange visits sometimes, but we do training with a group of dogs at least once a week.

I love Tater but I may be a little partial to bully dogs. I have 3 boxers and he sounds like he has the personality of my youngest boxer. Just hilarity all the time 😄

Thank you very much for this podcast but I have a question ? didn’t Stevie have some strips of white on her nose and forehead ? is it all gone now ? did it fade away? Also you had another dog a pretty old dog did she Leave this earth? I believe she must’ve been 17 years old at least Thank you again

I believe you are talking about “puppy Stevie” you can catch a glimpse of her at the 3:40 tugging with me and yes she is now “This!” And she did have white on her face, but as Border Collies grow then black fur (more of it) tends to hide the white. She still has the faintest of whites between her eyes and a little on her nose but that is all now.

7:06: Provided there is NO corrections, not just heavy corrections! Science has proven time and time again that ANY aversive based training is unnecessary and damaging/dangerous. Also proven that force free methods/positive reinforcement methods are just as effective if not more, and are safer and better for the dog's wellbeing both physically and mentally. :)

@RaptorsGirl 2 жыл бұрын

Of course I would never add corrections to my training, however in this instance I’m talking about being in the environment where others are training

@kat200214 2 жыл бұрын

@@RaptorsGirl Glad to hear, thanks for the response. I understand that sometimes being around other people who use corrections/punishment is un-avoidable. I try to steer clear of my dog even being close to that, as I think just watching and being privy to that type of training and relationship can be damaging.

@kat200214 2 жыл бұрын

Controversial opinion: No such thing as "naughty" behavior! Just dogs being dogs. Dogs don't have a moral compass, and never do anything to be deliberately annoying or cause anger or sadness. They just do things that they see as reinforcing, and that meet their needs. Labels like "bad", "naughty", "stupid", and "stubborn" are all human made, and can only be technically applied to humans who have the mental capacity to live up to some of those labels (even then). Changing our views from thinking the dog is "bad" or being "bad" to just being a dog, or doing what's reinforcing, and doing their best given the situation and what we've equipped them with (spin off of your famous quote Susan!), helps us be fairer to ourselves and to them, and to be much more force free in our thinking and training. It also takes a lot of frustration and blame out of our relationship with our dogs.

Not controversial to me, I agree, which is why the word “naughty” is put in quotes in the title.
