Clicker Training 101

[dodge1997]

Me....I loved how he kept going to his toy box then coming to you as if to convey "Hey....YOU...shaddup and lets have some fun !"

[amyinbc2]

I think I am in love with the both of you :) Great work!

[luvpedobera]

?he's beautiful dude, what breed is he

and of corse - thanks, awesome video!

[TheClassyCoconut]

I love the psychology principles used in dog handling like positive reinforcement and association, keep up the good work man!.,

[vegasrenie]

Border Collies aren't really dogs - they're people in fur suits.  They are so easy to train and so intelligent it's scary.

[TheBloodOfGoodman]

Holy crap, he learned that fast.

[funkybuck]

What a beautiful dog! thanks for posting the video:-)

[MsSammy2]

What a smart dog! Hes beautiful!!

[jerstolp]

[sk8ndpball]

why arnt you telling him what trick to do

[MagicMasterMind]

awesome video , but have u ever tryed to teach your dogs without a clicker?

i personaly find it more rewarding doing it the old fashioned way

[NDirish2122]

Beautiful dog you've got here

[Simsdude901]

lol

[EnnaG79]

Thx for sharing :) FavD ;)

[XxLinkFookedZeldaxX]

Faved, when i get my Border collie im going to use this method.

[ManuelCollinsBarud]

Hey thanks for the video man, your dog is a very smart doggy :D!

[FreestyleNW]

No, why do you ask?

[Charakterobst]

By the way:

FreestyleNW, are you the dog trainer who can be seen in the video?

Max is clever! I liked the part when he offers some other tricks he has learned in former times in order to get the click. He is really cute.

[FreestyleNW]

Yep that's me.

[Charakterobst]

My dog has learned many tricks with this clicker, but as fast he he learns new tricks, he realizes when I don't have any treats with me, so he quickly loses the interest in the noise of the click.

My dog demands a payment;-)

[FreestyleNW]

There are a couple things to do in your case. First, once the behavior is learned, put him on a variable rate of reinforcement. So instead of getting a treat every time he does the trick, he gets one after two repetitions. Also you want to lose the treats once the behavior is learned. Try replacing the treats with a ball or favorite toy. Payment can be anything, praise, a thrown ball, etc.

[Charakterobst]

thank you very much for this tip!

In the case of my dog, I can imagine to give him a treat any scond time and so on, but if my dog sees a single chance to eat, he doesn't even know what a toy is... ;-}

[hardkordann]

After you replace the treats, do you still click?

[ReppinToronto2TheMax]

Awesome!! :-D

this is exactly what I needed to see .. i just got a dobie, and he needs some serious training ;)

Thanks again, and I've subscribed to your channels - i look forward to watching all of your videos!

[voltmuche]

awesome training video! I just started clicker training my dog here in France. It's barely established (as far as I can tell) as a method here, which is amazing. I found one woman here in the South of France who teaches. Took a 3 day seminar and can't stop teaching my dog new stuff! Your video helped me to reinforce some basics and remind me of a few principles I forgot. The 'dropping of the lure and the food reward' is a great tip... thanks again!

[KasZoey]

Kas got that down in 2 sessions of 5 minutes each. And besides Max likes me more then you.

[tupper53]

Wow!

Nice

Just curious

Have you ever worked with a "Pit"?

[FreestyleNW]

I haven't worked with a pit yet.  Would love to though! I would imagine you could use tugging as a high value reward for most of them in training.

[tupper53]

I`m sure that would do it.They love to tug.

There`s lots of great ones in rescue as I`m sure you know.

Lost my guy last Aug and they`re banned in Ontario,Canada but when we win(and we will!) in court,I`ll get another one.

I`m sure you`re aware of LawDogsUSA.

Ontario has one graduate,K9 Neville and we have another one going in January.

I donated his airfare in memory of my guy.

Watch for news of him.His name is Bandit.

We`re very proud of both of them!

[FreestyleNW]

I'm sorry for your loss. BSL is like dog racism.

[tupper53]

Mine wasn`t lost to BSL,it was cancer.

But thanks anyway.

All Ontario pups are either being slaughtered or sent to Research.

A few are making it out due to Rescue groups.

Check out Pixie on my site if you`re looking for a Pit to train.

I sponsor her.She`s apparently very high energy and she MUST leave Ontario!

[andreasflyink9s]

[FreestyleNW]
