How to Train a Dog- dog training clicker

@kikopup Is cheese okay for dogs? would it be too high in sodium? ?

Looking fwd to the stop attention seeking behaviours – Kaycee has started barking loudly @ agility class and i reinforced it without thinking by giving her attention to get her to be quiet. I keep give her a kong before she starts for now , but don’t want to have to rely on it. Once she starts barking, i cant just ignore her for the sake of the others. Its v. frustrating. Love these vids – so helpful

@wercia55509 well, shock collars have been banned in many parts of Europe as well as Australia for being Inhumane. The only place that really uses them is us here in north america

Hey Your videos are great and you have inspired me to be so much more active with my dog and he loves it but I do have issues! I am terrible at coming up with cues and commands… I am stumped here… do you have any advice?

Your videos are so great! I love how your dogs are always offering so many behaviors so you just click when they do the thing I want. My Aussie pup knows lots of tricks, but she doesn’t really offer behaviors…she will just sit and wait for me to tell her what to do or lure her! We just have long staring contests when I wait for her to do something. Is there any way I can encourage her to offer behaviors? Thanks!

Hi Emily, I love your videos. My question: Is there a way to condition/convince my dog that walking near me is better than taking off to chase squirrels? She is a puller and i think the pulling is linked to her prey drive, as she is always on the lookout for squirrels when we walk in the park. Her recall is pretty good as long as there are no squirrels.

i have try the clicker but my husky pup will not do nothing and i have ask him many times to do it im trying to train him to sit and lay down but he doen’t listen

Emily, I need a little hint…. my dog is still young (1 years) and I’m using positive reinforcement but there is one thing that happened 1-2 times already and I cannot handle…. If we walking on the street and a cat runs cross, she starts to chase the cat like a rocket. I cannot prevent, call back, or do anything until around 5-10 seconds when she realizes that ran too far and maybe this is not a good idea. How to handle this?

Love your video channel!
I have a question: One of my dogs barks at humans and dogs sometimes. I have a sound I use when I want her attention, and I always try to use it before she starts barking, but sometimes She’s faster than me and starts barking, then I make the sound and she stops and looks at me. But now she barks more often because she knows I’m going to make the sound and reward her for looking at me, What should I do?

Also, I am trying to teach her to walk with a loose leash, she gets very
excited and tends to pull and tug ALOT. When I don’t let her get what she
wants, she begins to whine. I then take a few steps back and wait for her
to come to me, once the leash is loose I begin to walk forward while she
jolts ahead of me. Again, I stop and then she ends up jerking herself from
the leash and whining again. I do this repetitively. Any suggestions on what I should do?

I think it is a common misperception that “shock collars” are a cruel way to train your dog. The current generation of remote collars have noise, light, vibration and mild adjustable shock. I think they can be used in conjunction with positive training as an “interupter” of problem behaviors. They should never be used as punishment but rather as a signal to “pay attention” much like the pull of the collar. I only use the vibrate setting.

@kikopup it’s a shame that they are still permitted here in New Zealand.
