This was very helpful but I have a question. Training a dog usually means that the trainer asks for something and the dog will respond. This case is different because the tables will turn so that the dog will ask for something (by ringing the bell) and the trainer will respond (by opening the door). As of right now we are "touching" before we let her outside, but when (and how) will she know to do it by herself to let us know she wants to go out?
@cursiveK That is a great question! I like the way you think. :-) You are pairing the two behaviors together - ringing the bell & going outside. If you are consistent, those two behaviors become linked. Dogs are economical in their actions to get to the reinforcement. The dog takes a behavioral shortcut, if you will, to get to the reinforcement. The bell predicts the door opening. Dog wants door open. Dog rings bell. This is similar to how you change a cue - new cue/pause/old cue.Does that help?
@rogersmmr It does help. Well, since she's smart enough to learn how to touch the bell, lets hope that with practice she'll start the "linking" soon :) Thank you!
Very nice video - great instructions on how to use the cClicker. We have a lot of customers who use Clicker Training with PoochieBells - they are a perfect pair. BTW, your pooch is gorgeous!
i am interested in trying this.i have a few questions. what could i use to substitute the clicker? and how long should i try each step? by that i mean, working with click, then touch, then ring.. how long should i work on each step/how long should i focus on each step before adding on and moving on to the next?
@lyssielover Thank you for watching. You can substitute a word (like "yep") for the click. Pick a short, distinct word that you don't say all the time in normal conversation. There is no set time frame for each step. That will depend on the dog. When the dog is at about 80% accuracy, then you can increase the criteria. Count out 5 or 10 treats. Each time your dog gets it right, give a treat. If they don't respond, put the treat aside. Then, when the treats are gone, do the math. Happy training.
This is a great video .I love it ,I will try this on my 4 1/2 months German? mix puppy.
I have a problem my puppy poops n pee in like 2-3mins.When I put her outside on ,the balcony .I literally watch her do this every time wen ,Im about to leave the house.She also plays with her poop n eats it.
Help me!!!! Why does my puppy do this? How can .i stop this behavior.?
@DxMasta14 Congrats on the new dog! Enjoy him - they grow up so fast. When I train this, I cue the dog to ring the bell each time we go out the door. Eventually, the dog learns that the bell is a cue for the door opening and they will ring the bell to cue you they want to go out. Happy training, Marge
@cropleysd Thank you for the kind words. And, congratulations on your new puppy!! How exciting! Enjoy puppyhood - they grow up so fast. Keep me posted. I look forward to seeing video. In the meantime - happy training. :-)
@vidgirl4444 Thank you for watching our vid. :-) I like the nose touch for my (tall) dogs. A lot of dogs scratch at the door to let their owner know they have to go out. That is part of the reason I use the bell (so the dog has an acceptible alternative to scratching at the door). If you have a shorter dog you could hang the bell on a longer string so they could nose touch. Or, if you want a paw touch, you can still train it as outlined, just substitute the paw touch for the nose touch.
@rogersmmr Some times people have trouble training a paw touch. You can start with a really big target on on the floor, gradually make it smaller and smaller and then lift it up off the floor. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy training. :-D
@lilazn2grl Congratulations on your puppy! Check out @kikopup for a wonderful tutorial video called "Before You Start Training with Food - clicker training dog". The exercises she demonstrate teach the dog impulse control and how to ignore the food in order to get the food. Have fun and happy training. :-)
You can have the dog nose touch the bell itself as a target. Follow the method shown to target the stick & hand, use the bell instead. Ex.-have your clicker ready & hold the bell in front of your dog. If your dog looks at the bell, click & treat. Repeat. Slowly increase the criteria until dog is touching bell with his nose. Many dogs will investigate a new object presented by their owners, so you may get a nose touch right away. When he is reliable, hang bell on door. Keep me posted. :-)
