Dog training tip of the day- Fading a Lure (while teaching SPIN)

[Netfledge]

Thank you so much for this Emily! Teaching this to Tonks at the moment.

[screamingpiano]

2:07 "Where did that treat fall to??" :)

[perdigas91]

this girl is awesome

[the123kaylad]

You are amazing! I tried this today with my miniature poodle and she learned spin just like that! It's awesome that you're on youtube. Keep the vids comin'.

[lorrainetwingles]

We just got a new puppy and your videos are so useful! You're really effective and clear. Thanks a lot. :)

[1Mom2One]

Thank you sooo much for this vid!

[mehdifshp]

Oops! You have already done that :P

[mehdifshp]

Please tell us how should we add verbal command.

[bc4meps]

I feel compelled to tell you that you have the best training videos and approach I have seen yet. Keep them coming...I live on the east coast and have weekly clicker training classes with my young dog and your vidoes are helping us to progress even faster...and we are having so much fun doing it! Positive clicker training is the way to go! I subscribed. bc4meps

[TheTHINNERALBUM]

Well this is better than much of the stuff I have seen, however, I don't think this is really showing what you mean to show, "Fading a lure". Although you are not using the lure after a few spin, the dog is still under the belief that the lure is coming, or in your hand. So long as the dog is fooled into thinking that the lure is there it does not matter if you remove it or not. Fading the lure is not just physical, but mental as well. What the dog thinks matters. That said, still a great vid!

[missythebordercollie]

wow my dog does that if i dont have a treat she will not listen to me im going to try that

[Ritercrazy]

Not once in all your videos I've watched so far, have I been concerned for the dog, you, your methods, nor embarrassed by any mistakes you might have made. (I've seen none btw.) Each video speaks to my heart and some can make me cry they are so sweet, understanding, patient. For example the video where you mention not using a dog's name as correction. I loved that idea. Besides you being adorable and fun to watch, your methods and knowledge of dogs are beyond inspiring. I learn form you. Thanks

[jjscatter5]

Thank you very much for sharing - you have some great uploads

[SullivanOlssen]

Great video!

[Mabsie123]

my dog doesn't follow food no matter what

he just tries to guess what im trying to tell him

and does all the other tricks that he knows and he starts

bowing or waving his hand and jumping up until he gets it

right :l

[SalsaTiger83]

@Mabsie123 then probably the dog is training you ;-) If he doesn't get it, start small and make him follow the hand with or without food for a few inches before releasing the treat, then raise the distance. Or you go straight to target training which is actually a lot easier than any food lure.

[Fidography]

What if the dog doesn't get the behavior after three trials, should you go ahead and fade the treat out?

[NormyPie]

Glad I watched this yesterday! I'd trained Noodle to get in the bag yesterday and I started with lures, and now I know I'd used way too many (still worked though - we went to the vet for his jabs, and when we'd finished he got straight back in his bag - no lure). Today I was training him to go in the bike trailer and I did it with just two lures - the rest was shaping!

[dustyroadzaussies]

What do you do if your dog lays down whenever you try to lure them into a spin?

[JDurbie]

So wait...I don't understand. How quickly do you teach your dog a trick? Can just one training session like this lead to complete acquisition of the trick? Should most people take tricks like this gradually, doing different steps at a time and on different days?

[weirdness281]

My problem with Zooey is that she doesn't listen unless she knows a treat of some sort is within my reach. It doesn't have to be in my hand, just in my pocket or on the table near me. She'll do trick after trick after trick without rewards if she knows there's a possibility that one might be coming. The only thing she'll consistently do for me is "stay", and that's because sometimes I surprise her by going into the other room and coming back with something yummy.

[Adipatus]

Thanks

[kikzrandrade]

it is amazing the way they are always looking at you (and your hand) when you're talking in the beginning! they're 100% focused!

amazing!

[bl4cksm0ke]

spinning around that bucket is a cool trick too!!! great vids - thanks

[enchantingblackrose]

My dog's only issue like this is she WILL NOT lay unless I do what I've always done, which is lay a palm on the ground. I always give her hand signals as well as words, so I was trying to differentiate between bow (which is a palm up) and lay (palm down) and I started putting it on the floor. Now she won't lay unless I put my hand on the floor, even though she knows there's no treat or anything... I've tried waiting, but she just sits and waits for me to say something else.

[nelliemarsh]

just a thought: If a dog isn't interested in treats you might just feed to much. I'm not saying starve your dog but a lot of dogs I see are a bit chubby! Of course there's a huge difference in food motivation between collies and bulldogs - but if I hear a bulldog isn't interested in treats I bet it's overweight. I like my bulldogs to be slim so I can feel their ribs (but not see them). My 6 dogs love to work for treats, even pieces of apple. I do use real meat in highly distracting situations.

[SkilledShiloh]

Shiloh can do this trick but isn't really quick. lol x

[Madrone26]

Love these videos! I can't tell you how inspiring they've been. Keep it up!

[Julepe001]

i really liked the video very well explained

[Krisse91]

Thank you! I was stuck with this and adding the verbal cue, I was unsure about how to do those things. Now I don't have to use so much treats and hand signals, which is clearer for Miki and now he learns things even faster!

[whitegj1259]

I really admire your work; will you be giving a clinic near Monterey, CA in the future? What is the music you have on the current video for phasing out the lure? You have used it before and I love it.

[22lilbabe]

thats really kool! I need my dog to learn spin without the lure. LOL! my friend has a dog like yours. Isn't splash a border collie?

[sen2san]

u make it look so easy and simple

[fabiofloripa159]

You are the best dog treinner i have ever seen..

kisses from brazil!!!

[Sallybunckle]

great thank you and keep the video's coming.cheers

[WolfRocker95]

Thank you so much this really helped! And I love Splash's trick at the end-so cute :)

[mieke337]

Thank you, this is really helpful.

Sometimes things are easyer to do when you heve seen them instead of reading it from a book

[Suffix95]

Very useful! Thank you! I've been having problems with luring, but I'll try out this for future training!

5 stars!

[cguymartin]

you are awesome! i subscribed and anticipate more videos! keep up the great work :)

[wmlgts]

Great video! Very useful information. I loved when Kiko came right up to the camera in the beginning and the end when Splash was spinning on the bucket. And I'm always impressed with your dogs attention during your videos.

[lynco09]

Emily! Thanks so much for taking the time to do these video's. I really appreciate seeing the step by step method of these video's. I'll be getting a Papillon pup in a couple of months and you can bet I'll be needing to see these video's a few times! Thanks again! You and your dogs are GREAT!

[Carinoschatziii]

cool my dog knows the same trick but i say left.

[DogsAreMyBestFriends]

Wow, this was amazing! Exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing, great video! 5*

[tigrisor99]

Clear explaining, very practical tips! 5 stars from me!

[NatashaHope17]

Great! Glad to see another video! :D

[maquis69]

Super intéressant! J'adore tes vidéos :o)

[superwoman63]

Great video :))

[JakeVomRivergreen]

I tried this today with Jake, instead of using the food lure and a wide hand gesture to get Jake to spin around, I showed him i had no food and he did it!! Then I tried only using a small flick of my hand and again he did it!! Thanks again for this very helpful tip!!

[SiriusScientist]

Great video, as usual! Loved the trick Splash did at the end too :)

5 stars!

[ZandersStory]

Awesome video, Emily!! Between you and Pam, the whole world will have an opportunity become better dog owners/trainers like never before! Great tips and Splash's elephant trick was perfect! 5*s!

[erwhitaker2]

Thank you so much!

I'll be trying this with Archie today, and we should be training with no lure in no time!

Thanks again, Emily & Archie

[derfnart]

Good stuff... your videos are always so clear and on point. Can't ask for more!

[VTECsqznN2O]

Great vid, this is som'thing most new trainers miss. Love the ending. Five stars :)

[bluevspink]

Lol I wish I knew this a year back :(

[IsabelleBandit]

Outstanding video! Love the video close ups of the treat size and how to pretend you have a treat! You are so awesome at making videos! You are an inspiration! Great tip of the day! 5*s as always!! Splash & Kiko are both so amazing!

[kaiomewolf]

Yay for rear end awareness there at the... end ... :P

[tehrenberg]

Ha! I totally needed this. Mi is so smart, she knows how to do many things but when I ask she just looks at me with this, 'show me the money' face. I have gotten so far as to have her do many tricks in a row for one tiny treat but she pretty much has me trained. Thank you for yet another thoughtful video Em. xo

[SexxiChica011]

haha at the end!

[newbear95]

Fantastic video!

[daisydogsoap]

you really aN effeCTIVE TRAINOR I LEARN SO MUCH! THANKS A LOT! MAKE MORE PLS.

[hdsheena]

You're amazing as a trainer, and your comments make me laugh out loud. "Who wants to carry a piece of food in their hand? it's ridiculous!" LOL :)

[AgilityAddict56]

Love the tip. I could really use this with my Sheltie. I love the elephant trick, my Sheltie knows it though not as well as Splash ;)

[AnimalLoverLizzy]

Emily, how convenient!! I needed this video the day you posted it. :)

Sparky already knows how to spin (can't even remember how I taught it, he just seemed to do it!), but we're looking after a Havanese for a few weeks, she just arrived yesterday, and last night I started teaching her first trick: Spin. So, this video really helps. Thank you!!

Lizzy & Sparky

[buddbb]

oops,should be 1:11 ?

[buddbb]

thank you so much, Emily .

kiko is so cute, 1:13, XDDD

[JustJesse197]

Another EXCELLENT video Emily!! Wonderful tips =o) I love Splash's elephant trick too! I need to teach that to Jesse ;o) 5* and I will definitely referre people to this video!

~Heather and Jesse~

[Rickyagility]

You always explain things so well, Emily! Great job! Love Splash's elephant trick at the end!

[claudiahoyle]

great video!

[JakeVomRivergreen]

Thanks for this great tip Emily!!!

[Vattenlilja]

Your videos are great! I'm a dog trainer myself and I get alot of tips and inspiration from you! Everything looks so easy for you and your dogs, though! :D

[nikkitoni01]

this couldn't have come at a beter time! I just came online specifically to find advice on fading out the lure, and what do I find? It's your tip of the day and you just posted it a few minutes ago! Gotta love when that happens! Thank you sooo very much for this tip. I'm gonna go try it now! :)

[RavenBlaze]

I love sending these to my folks who have a puppy, if anything it gives them ideas.

[terroncina]

cute!

[Bella24745]

My dog Buddy doesnt like treats her likes belly rubs better. lol
