thanks alot!

thanks for not editing the part out when your dog barked. its help us alot by seeing your mistakes

this is helpful, thanks

I just ran into your videos. I’m willing to try, but how long did this take you. My bulldog is absolutely stubborn. I gotta carry treat everywhere I go. UUUUUggghhhhh

This helps a lot of people and dogs. Thanks for taking the time.

You are the Clicker Authority !!!!!

I love all your videos.

Very impressive! I hope you make money for this ability.

can we do this with water too ?? i mean if the dog fears of water or “shower time”

I’ve been using the clicker training ideas from your other video for getting my dogs to look at me with the word “look”. It works absolutely great! Thanks so much for your video.

I got a 2 year old lab and I’m still trying to make him start barking. He really never barks.

Yes, reward the pup for quiet. Also other tips: have the crate in your bed room, make sure the pup has been out before bed, if the pup is under 12 weeks or longer, set an alarm and let the pup out to the bathroom before he thinks to whine. Tire the pup out just before bed. Build the crate as the BEST place to be with training games. Leave the pup in a puppy safe area, or pen when at work. It can be unfair for a puppy to stay in a crate when an owner is at work AND at night.Hope that helps

scientifically proven btw

The navy dont use “corrections” on there animals that are meant to save human lives, because it is less reliable. I will just say that. However i will agree that timing in itself is very important!

There is no scientific data that proves ‘dominance’ exists in wolves or dogs. The 1930’s study has been thrown out being completely flawed. Ethologists no longer believe in it. If you have any SCIENTIFIC data please post. Just like the earth not being flat it is unpopular to throw out ideas, especially when they are on Nat Geo. Also please send me any scientific data that you have found on vocalization linked to status seeking in dogs (closest thing to dominance in my book)

Typical response from a person wedded to negative reinforcement, which i(s itself cruel and stressful. (And by the way, Alpha Leader, judgment is spelled without an “e” in the middle.) In reality, positive reinforcement takes MUCH less time than negative, and has much more lasting effects. Finally, did you not notice that the idea here is to take away the anxiety, not the stimuli?

I’m no expert, but I can tell you if you held a gun to my head and told me to sing yankee doodle, it might be the fastest way to get me to do it, but that doesn’t make it a great way to teach singing.

Sorry, that should have been: Do I reward the times the puppy is quiet in her crate? Is that enough?

any suggestions for puppies who whine in their crates when going to bed? do reward the quite in the crate time? these videos are so wonderful. Perhaps you could talk about your treats some time and which are “higher value” than others and when you use which.

Timing is everything when correcting a dog…

Difficult situation i’d say, sounds like the dog is warning your brother to stay away. I think the only way, would be to work with both your brother and the dog together and try and get them used to each other and build a level of trust between your brother and your dog…

You’re dog is showing dominance, he’s not afraid of strangers, he thinks it’s his responsibility to warn you of anyone who comes near your property.

you explain the method of training very well. I really like how you are calm with the dog and don’t use punishment since it is not necessary. Keep up the good work.

The following are six steps for teaching your dog a new behavior:

1. Get the behavior.
2. Mark the behavior.
3. Reward the behavior.
4. Repeat the behavior until it happens easily at least 90% of the time.
5. Add the verbal cue as your dog does the behavior to associate the word with the appropriate response.
6. Use the verbal cue to elicit the behavior.

This is a great video. We have a Chihuahua who is barking as our landlord goes up the back staircase with his dog (so the sound of the person walking up the stairs AND the jingling of the dog’s leash trigger the barking). I ave started the training described her as well as “white noise” while we are out. Thanks for the great video.
We look forward to Episode 2 – as our Chihuahua is also barking at other dogs and would like help with that.

I disagree. Correcting the barking with a leash and collar does not “continue to leave the dog stressed.” If you have a proper, balanced relationship with your dog, the leash correction communicates that the barking behavior is unwanted and unnecessary. The dog calms down post-correction because he trusts in your leadership and judgement. Your method works, but takes 10X as long as necessary. It also fails to account for situations where you cannot simply “keep the dog from the stimuli.”
