@danno12234 ive always thought german shepherds as the most intelligent breeds and ive always wanted to have one, til one day i brought home a mutt and i trained it and for a mutt he has learned so many things in less than a few months all dogs can be intelligent if you provide them with proper training
In a few weeks, I will be giving a home to my first puppy- very exciting! I really enjoy your informative and inspiring videos. Do you have a video on crate training please? Thanks for your fab work and the love of dogs that you share with us. Jo
ok so i think ive just watched every single one of ur videos and i just have to say that i am in awe. you must be the most patient animal lovers ive ever come across. your German Shepherd is gorgeous and soo incredibly intelligent. you two must have an amazing relationship. i am soon going to be buying two grey and white siberian huskys and i will be watching ur videos everyday to make sure my training is perfect. thankyou :)
This was so helpful. I have watched several of your videos and i love them. I appreciate how easy and straight forward your techniques are. I see my 4 month old puppy responding well to your method to stop biting and nipping. Is she too to teach to calm down or go to her mat? Which commands should I wait to teach her until she is older?
Your video is very useful and very easy to understand.My dog now obeys me very well.Can you please upload a video "How to train your dog to be silent at night".
1 day ago when you are reading thid do not stop or eles something bad will happen! (sorry about this) this girl's name is summer, she is 15 years old and has blond hair, many scars, and she has no ears.she is dead.if you don't copy this to more than 5 videos, she will appear one dark quiet night when you are not expecting it beside your bed with a knife and going to kill you.this is no joke.if you send this on 5 more videos something good will happen to you
I get carried away rewarding with play. Sometimes I just lose track of time and just keep playing and playing. My ACD is a distraction to me. He's just awesome.
um my dog is really old and when ever i take him outside and theres another dog he starts whining and jumping and when he approches the dog he trys to bite them what can i do???!!! PLZ LIKE THIZ SO HE CAN RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a 6 week old German Shepherd,and I really struggle with training. I was just looking for ways to train it and this was what i found.Thanks for telling me(everyone that saw this) how to train him.
so i saw the dog and it's really cute but the dog is actually given to us my his real owner and the dog has tears in his eyes and like when i want to pat him he runs away or bark to me :( :'( :'(
he's now making me feel bad and sad :( what should i do now :( i just want a dog that is good,playful , kind, friendly and always listens to me all the time :(
how can i even calm him down if i can't even go near him or even he won't listen to me :( -.-
@cherrybloom22 I think you need help from a professional dog behaviorist on a 1 to 1 base. Best thing to start building trust and a good relationship is hand-feeding - but since I don't know your dog it might be dangerous. So seriously invest in a dog trainer/behaviorist who is working force free and has experience with rescue dogs. You need patience and good vibes to get the dog to trust/like you - they pick up on your feelings before you do yourself. Remember dogs are NOT toys or robots!
Iv got a 6 nd a half month old labradoodle, hes got wise to the clicker he knows if the clicker makes a noise he gets a treat, nd now if i try to just do the hand signal and pretend to throw a treat he just looks at me as if to say 'yeah right' .. if i point nd say 'mat' he just barks at me but will slowly back towards his mat but still bark until i say my release phase 'come on then' as he knows if he stays and comes off when i ask he gets a treat. help
Is that a german shephard puppy? i had one but had to dismiss it cause it was turning to an army dog :( heard same problem with all of the german shephards
How big is that Crate??? My dog is literally an oversized German Shepherd (even the vet says) so...how big is the crate??? And one more thing. SMART DOG!!!
Great tutorials tab289... can you post some training methods in which you reduce the amount of treats/ and or clicks (or indicate the respective vid if this has already been done...) keep them coming :)
my dog is super hyper, he is a puppy and he has so much energy, i cant even stand up without him jumping all around me..so it did not work for me, but thanks anyways
I agree that you are an excellent instructor, and, honestly, one of the few I watch here. You cover all the steps clearly, anticipate problems (bcs it never go textbook perfect in RL) and you always display a professional and positive attitude. Thank you for these wonderful videos! (smiles) I sincerely hope you go on to bigger things with your skills.
@Georgeee1995 clicking is a click noise made by a clicker that tab uses for training Solea. You can get a clicker at any local pet store. hope this helped!
Thanks so much Tab! I just tried this with my 5 month old German Shepherd and he caught on with only a few tries! We still have a little ways to go, but he will definatley get it. (we have to do it without a clicker since i lost mine:(
Hi, I find your videos extremely helpful ! My dog is a 4-year old German Shepherd that I rescued from the shelter. Whenever we walk and se sees people playing ball/frisbee she FREAKS OUT and stops listening.... I usually have to ask these people to stop playing so I can step forward without the dog dragging me around... She listens pretty well but this situation is an exception, I don't know what to do. She jumps around and the skin of my hands is damaged afterwards by pulling the leash...
Hello! I like your videos. Actually I am using it for my puppy training. I saw your dog's crate on this video. What is the brand of the crate. I would like to get it for my Puppy and I really liked it. I have a small one now but I need to change it to big size because my puppy growing so fast. Please let me know about your dog crate.
Thank you for taking your time to share with everyone, the methods and techniques you've found. I recently found your videos on Youtube and I'm looking forward to working with my dog Lucy. Keep it up!
At home he can get quite "frustrated", biting on all small things he can find around the house etc.. I understand it if he have not gone for a walk in a long time/ needs to do his ..things.. But! When I've just walked him for let say, an hour, he can sometimes still be like this!
I was starting to think that he just was "this type of dog", untill we brought him to our cabin. Here he lied around on the floor and was relaxing all the time.
Your videos are very useful. I must step up the training with my 4 month old as I am lazy sometimes and go a few days without training him. No wonder his training is a bit hit and miss (ie., he obeys commands when he feels like it!)
@ladykiller200010 yeah.....& hes made big 2 big holes on each side of his kennel.....he uses them as windows......LOL....and he can fit through them....theyre pretty big...
I have watched every one of your training videos and I think you are doing a great job. Please keep them coming and help us understand and train our companions in a positive and loving way.
Great video. One thing I found to encourage identifying the mat and staying on it longer early on is to build a 2' or 3" platform to fit the mat ( $3 bath mat from Wally-World) My pups have learned to identify their color mat, how I'm not sure...more likely smell
This was quite good. Worked very well with my dog. I love your methods: creative, posetive, and encourages the dog to figure out what its meant to do..mentally engaging, which is the best for German Shepherds. Well done.
whata great video, the exercise is really helpfull in a number os exercises and your explanation is simple and easy to follow. Great job both of you! Eager to see some more :D
I 've seen that collar before :) Great video! Still working on the Cover Your Eyes video response. I wanted to add Jump for Joy in it also so it may be awhile.
@nataliawasilewska97 In a nutshell, it is rewarding small steps towards the desired behavior that one is trying to teach, gradually raising criteria and letting the dog figure out on their own by trying different things, what is being taught. I might explain this better in a video. Hope that helps.
great video! this is going to come in handy for teaching kali to settle down. she tends to get extremely excited around her meal times. i never thought of teaching her to go to her mat while i prepared her dinner:)
Solea is a beautiful name for a dog, what is its meaning to you? most names have a generalized or "from the book" meaning, but i find it interesting to know what the personal meaning of the dogs name is to his or her parents:)
@WolfOfShadows1986 Solea is a basic form in Flamenco music. A combination of rhythm/melody, that I really enjoy playing. It was actually a friend that helped me name her - so I can't take full credit there!
its good name a dog after something you really enjoy. i name my dogs and cats the same way,or use my intuition to name them.a name has to have a special meaning to the "pet's" care taker. naming them"spot" just wont do,lol:) Kali is short for Kallisto Lucifera,which means most beautiful light bearer.she brings so much happiness and light into my life.Kali is also the name of a hindu goddess that i have a affinity for. my pups name meaning is something with very spiritual meaning to me:)
Excellent video, very instructional. You're a great instructor, very creative, and your dog is so beautiful. I look forward for more of your awesome videos !
Do you teach the tricks to your dog as you do these videos or does she already know them? Love your work!
