  • when i lure my dog to the down position he tries to bite my hand. what should i do to prevent biting?(hes a puppy whos teething)

  • very good vids! thanks for your help! ;)

  • holy hell how have i not found you before today!

  • omg your eyes

  • Seems like a lot of these people want to train a dog after they already get it.... The ignorance of Americans

  • Awesome!

  • im having trouble my dog will not follow the llure and its her faverite treat she keeps staying in the sit down position but if i move the treat away and out of reach she just sits there ... what do i do???????????

  • when should dog owners start using these methods? :o

    I mean, the dog in the video is quite big so I'm thinking it's a bit older than 2 months?

  • i have a 2 year old poodle. will it work with him too?

  • My issue with my german shepherd is this.Im away from home a lot cause of studies and stuff and i train him whenever im home.That is about every 2 weeks for a period of 3 to 4 days.My dog has learned sit down and stand but he doesnt do it whenever i tell him to.Meaning.When we are home and i say "sit" if i have a food lure he will at once.If i dont he might or might not but when we are outside he just doesnt listen to me.Only on food lures .Any suggestions on that?

  • my dog doesnt obey me he is 4 month old and dont even know handshake

    he is a very intelligent dog but doesnt obey me

  • dude millan's technique is faster and more effective

  • @mayglitch But Millan uses schock collars and kicks. -.-

  • What do you use as high value treats for your dog?

  • good job dude

  • GOOD STUFF!

    Great presentation!

    Thanks!

  • I love your training videos! :) You really break down all the steps so they are easy to figure out and I love how you explain not just the "how to" in your vids, but the "why" as well. I also learned that petting and verbal praise while giving the treat makes the praise and petting much more valuable to the dog and it's much easier to ween them from the treats if you combine with petting and verbal praise. :) Thanks for your awesome vids!

  • @raoulpop yeah, but you gotta admit he has a great camera!

  • sir, been watching your vids since the day i got my malinois. his turning 3months now this 28. all he knows is sit. i try this method but seems he will not down and stand. its my 1st time to train a dog.

  • what state do you live in id seriuosly pay you to train my new 8 week old german shepherd puppy

  • at the end (not outside)

    He look tired o_o

  • Hey there, Thanks soooo much for sharing your videos.

    I've trawled the net for many ideas concerning dog training. Out of all I have tried, yours are the most lucid and concise. I admire your sincerity and dedication very much. I want to thank you truly and sincerely from my heart.

  • Wow thanks dude, i thought this was a hard work, but today i taught sit down to my german shepherd (is 5 years old) and he learned it fast, i suscribed to ur channel :D

  • You have an advantage in a way cos u got a German shepherd :P lol my Aussie is super smart she basically taught everything but the basics like sit and lay down to her self she is awesome and of corse we had to teacher her to give hugs :P

  • Can you teacher your dog to use the restroom?

  • U r gr8 ill tell all dog owners about yor channel :) keep posting...

  • Do you have any tips for dogs that are to attached? I can't go anywhere without my dog jumping up immedietly and following me

  • Great videos! Any tips for keeping a dog from barking when I move? :)

  • Thanks!! very helpful as always :)

  • what do i do if i ask my dog to do multiple actions and then barks?

  • great vid as usal

    

  • is there a rough estimate on how long would the dog take to understand click = food?

  • @Rienei mm there's a video where kind introduces you how to do that with eye contact=regard and then the dog will automatically can related but i would recommend you to get into his channel and look for it because i don't remember

  • 4:30 what if i have a clicker in my other hand? how can i reward my pup?

  • Hi Tab, your videos are great. I have two Aussie. The boy walks great on the leash, but the girl does not. I'm just starting to work with her in the apartment ( we don't have a yard at the moment). How long should I work with her inside before I try to move the training outside with distractions?

    Thank you, for all your videos

  • towards the end this vid reminds me of the LMFAO song YES!! haha XD

  • awesome vids, man!

  • WAAAaaaaay too much talking, especially at the beginning. Videos are for showing, doing, demonstrating -- not giving long lectures. Otherwise good video on very basic positive training techniques.

  • @carmenbuit watch his other vids...this vid seems to be mainly how to reward and using good timing...his other vids get more to the point

  • I have been using a lot of your tips with my puppy. We are now trying off leash training and he is doing great. Thanks for all you do.

  • excellent job :-)

  • I would seriously hire you to train my dogs X_X

  • @Machoked i need to know someone like this. I really need my dog trained. She is so bad

  • Can anyone tell me what kinds are treats are used in these videos? Either that or recommend a healthy treat that doesn't contain flour and tons of animal fat.

  • hi, love your vids, when i try to train my dog without treats, i usually just give them like a kibble. Any treat brands you recomend?

  • how long would this take me to train my 5 months old rottweiler?

  • Hey tab I will get a dog in a few days and im living in apartment alone and I want a good trained dog which is good for apartment any suggestions on the breed? :) pls reply back a.s.a.p btw nice videos I'm fully prepared now to have a dog :D

  • What do to if my dog doesnt follow my treat in my hand before starting to sit and other stuff? i use hot dog but she doesnt like it that much.. only interest her for first 3-4 small pieces

    Thanks

  • Can you explain to me what the clicker is used for?I don't seem to understand what it's supposed to do.

  • @HeartButerfly it marks the exact moment where the dog does what you want him/her to do.

  • WOW hey tabs can you PLEASE HELP ME because i think that I’m just going to give up on my dog and me as a trainer this is ridiculous. She sits when ever she sees a treat she doesn’t even wait for a command and when I tried to teach her down I got to the point of fading out the hand motions and she thought I was throwing a treat so she left me for about 2 mins until she gave up and came back NOTHING could get her attention =( PLEASE HELP ME

  • 3 cats didn't like the vid. = (

  • I am thinking to get German Shepard and I was wondering if you could use just clapping your hands twice instead using clicker? I have no problem getting one of those i believe they only cost couple dollars? Also i was wonder what is you use for the reward treat? thanks so much... your videos are awesome!

  • What about stand? ._.'?

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Tab - I know you emphasize how positive reinforcement has been scientifically proven to be the most effective way to train dogs. Can you post any article links to support this? In addition, do you believe dogs need a "pack leader" and that becoming leader is necessary to have control over your dog? thanks for your advice and video posts :-)

  • wow what an amazing dog hes so smart your a very good dog trainer this has helped a ton

  • Help please! I have a 3 year old German Shepard who has recently begun to scratch doors. Due to my current living situation he has to be left in my room while I'm gone. He is now destroying the door and jumping and whining. Idk how to stop the scratching on the door since it only happens when I leave the house. Please help! Thank you.

  • plz teach them to do a full turn

    

  • How do you get a dog to sit in front of you when you call them back?

  • Great video.(; I've been getting more serious about clicker training trick and I love all your tutorlials. Could you make a tutorial on how to teach your dog to blow bubbles? I've been trying to work on that trick lately and my pups having issues.

  • Selenia is a beautiful GSD, and she's so smart! Your videos are great

  • I have a 5 month old puppy, (GSD) and she hates going in the crate, understandingly. But I'm 13, so I have school. And my dad works and my bro has school too, and my cat and puppy HATE each other so at night my puppy must go in the crate. To teachh her to go in easier and on her own, I always opened the door and when she eventually got in I gave her a treat. She will realize eventually that going in the crate makes me happy and her too. It works great!

  • Should I teach sit, down, and stand all at once or each seperately?

    I think I'm confusing my dog

  • hey wat about a jumpy over excited dog (not pup) to heel and not bolt away when he gets startled.

  • How do I make it sit without using a lure??

  • @spinosaurus1 ..Initially you start luring and make him sit.Don't add the ''SIT'' command yet till the behavior is consistent.Once the dog gets an idea of what is expected from the lure you add the command.First the command and then the lure with time you gradually fade out the luring.this is how it works- with repetition the dog understands ''sit''- lure- behavior-reward.

  • @saii1583 So, When I start training I make it sit without saying anything?

  • @spinosaurus1 Yes Just start with luring and achieving the behavior till it gets consistent..you can add the command later...BTW sorry for such a late reply...

  • @spinosaurus1 Yes Just start with luring and achieving the behavior till it gets consistent..you can add the command later...BTW sorry for such a late reply...

  • @spinosaurus1 More you do it.. now it becomes a pattern its like muscle memory.but remember physical cues override verbal cues so make sure you gradually fade out the lure..

  • where have you been all my life?! i'm using your techniques with my GSD puppy and she is doing so good! thanks and keep teaching us dog owners all these cool stuff

  • I just got a 4month old German Shepard, i have had for 2 days.. was EXTREMELY SHY and SCARED due to bad enviroment, but today .... playing like a puppy ... i cant wait to use these tips on her :D

  • How exactly do u teach the stand with luring...( how do you make ur dog stand with ur treats?..) thks ur vids are great btw. Hope one day choke chains will vanish.

  • U know what, this vid is great, you are showing excellent demonstrations of what you are performing, but..

    It isn't fair, reason being is because you are making it seem so insanely easy using a dog, that is already 100% trained and know all your lure motions, for example that multi-command line you performed, I know actual human kids that couldn't react that fast. Most people that are looking at your vids, are at the beginner stages, when the dogs is stubbon, we need to see what to do then.

  • @Ty33Budd In this video you can see that solea is just learning this lure, at the begining of this video, that's why she's having hard time sitting and going into a down position, later on part 3 she is responding better when verbal commands were add. Trust me it works I have a male german shepherd , and he is doing great!!! I started training him my self After lerning from tab. I only had my dog for a mouth now and he knows sit, down , and stand. Multi command part was not the star point

  • i have a problem.. by 9 week old puppy is always lazy and tired.. and when hes active and up i try to train him.. but he just lies down.. i sorta trained him how to sit with the clicker but i don't think he understands what it means yet.. should i start all over again?

  • i have a problem.. by 9 week old puppy is always lazy and tired.. and when hes active and up i try to train him.. but he just lies down.. i sorta trained him how to sit with the clicker but i dont think he understand what it means..

  • Awesome videos. Great co-star! I'm so happy this channel exists! Great content that truly considers how a dog learns naturally. I'm a fan of positive reinforcement. I'm just wondering how often you recommend training with your dog?

  • your teeth are SO white! you should be on tv by the way, your dog training videos are awesome!

  • Awesome vid :) So happy there are people like you on the earth!

  • I love your vids. I have a 2.5 pound 4 month old toy Yorkie, she is terrified of the clicker. So I do what you did, I say "yes"

  • @Tab,

    Roll over is coming along fine now.

    Still have the barking problem.

    One other thing I have noticed is if I get the treats out. Draven will start doing his tricks one after the other before I command. Is that normal?

  • You should do a video on how to teach a dog how to swim. I think that would help a lot of people out.

  • I just got a toy Yorkie, so I have been looking for tips, your channel is fantastic; so clear and real. Thank you.

  • you are so good at what you do! keep up the GREAT work!! :)

  • hey i have a female cocker spaniel. she is very small just a month and 18 days. i have taught her to sit. i wanted to ask if it is normal that she bites a lot after walks. wat are suitable toys for her and maily HOW TO POTTY TRAIN HER? pls explain in detail cos no idea seems to work. she doesnt learn that at all. PLS HELP

  • @Tab,

    Any help you might could give on my previous post would be greatly appreciated.

    Is there another way we might be able to ask questions? Email? Forum?

  • I like it, and apparently it works on humans... My 3 yr old is about to become my guinea pig!!!!

  • I have the same slippery floor and I always feel guilty when my dog slips and slides as he tries his best to follow my commands. Nice video !!!

  • This was really helpful--thanks!!

  • Hi tab! I have a problem teaching my 4 years old dachshund to lie down. I used a chair while teaching him, but now every time a I say down he would go under a chair. Do you know how to fix this?

  • tab awesome vids man, so what in your videos will you say is the first step into training a 4month old puppy? I have maltese which i think she doesn't even know her name yet since she doesn't look at me when i call her.

    Should i start with the eye contact or the clicker stuff?

  • I'm a huge fan of your videos for I also believe in positive training. I wonder if you have made a potty training video with puppies. A lot of people rub their pup's noses into the urine and scold them which is not good training. I prefer the pee-pad methods and slowly removing one from the room per day and praising the pup when they potty outside. What do you recommend?

  • You deserve more subscribers. 

  • great effort that u do here...i love your way. .good job....i wish i can tech my 3 months germen shepherd like this but when it comes to train it became very lazy she even doesn't show interest in food...any advices? thanks a lot..

  • Jessie can do dat

  • you should make a video about teaching dogs to Roll Over!

  • you should make a video abut teaching dogs to Roll Over!

  • me to ive learnt loads to

  • I love your videos and learned a ton from watching you over the past few months. Just a note, your dog seems to be struggling to stand on this floor, and I think that a mat will help her a lot, so that she doesn't hurt her joints. I have a GSD, who is 4 months old and a big boy, so I worry about things like that. Hope to see more of your vids soon. Thanks again.

  • Tab,

    My 3 month old knows sit, down, speak, leave it, and we are working on roll over. For some reason the "down" command causes him to begin to bark excitedly.

    Wondering how to discourage these barks before performance?

    Also I can't seem to get the roll over from a lure to a hand signal?

  • This is my homework! Thanks!

  • Jst found ur channel - making my way through ur vids!

    Wow, your dog is awesome! I'm hoping my 8month German Shepherd will one day be as keen to please as urs is!

    I've been clicker training him for ages, but he doesn't do things as quickly and enthusiastically as your dog - eg. if I say sit, he will sit but not immediately and also he seems to 'ignore' me a lot when we're outside the house, or in the garden and he doesn't pay the slightest bit of attention to the clicker outside. Any advice?

  • @xxannabel83 I have a few videos on 'distractions', 'attention', and other exercises that build on this. It's also a great idea to teach some tricks.

  • @tab289 hi can i ask you something? i have a 2 years old japanese spits and a 4 months golden retriever but my golden is always jealous when i petting my japanese spits my golden always bite the japanese spit and am petting the golden too what should i do?

    sorry for bad english

  • hey tab great videos, your dog is awesome and you have a really good bond with her. my dog is around 7-8 and i wish i started training him sooner but he doesn't seem to want to learn and is all in it for the food when i train him, any advice?

  • @ninja0wnzy0u It's great that he is 'in it for the food'. That's a bonus (especially in the early stages). Keep working at it and as you spend more time together, it will change!

  • hey, so when would u say is the "right time"

    you kept saying when its the right time u can do this or that, but when?

  • @aijinxo right exactly when the dog performs the trick. For example if the dog sat, you would click right when the dog's butt hit the floor. For down, right when the dogs mody hits the floor. For eye contact, the split second the dog looks at you. For shake paw when the paw goes right into your hand. Another example for a human would me when we shake hands. right when we make contact with the other hand that is where the "right time" is... if that makes sense..

  • @aijinxo If you are talking about progressing through the different 'steps', the right time is when the dog fully understands a criteria, and able to perform correctly 100% of the time.

  • @tab289 so then how long would something like that take? cuz when im workin with her right, she gets it shell do it for that day and then the next day its like her brain went into a clean slate and forgot EVERYTHING and so i hafta repeat from the begining, and then durin non-trainin times, she refuses to even listen to what i say and she wont even sit or anything unless i have food in my hands...

  • Great video Tab as always. Keep them coming.

  • Hi Tab! I was wondering... what treats do you use?... I would use Markies but are they too big to begin with? Does someone know? By the way, good advice!

  • @McBossesProductions I'm always using different thing, I don't really have a preference. 90% of the time I will just use food!

  • Hi tab, your videos are very inspirational and informative. You are the best on Youtube! Just a quick question. I have 10mths old labrador (dog) and he is beautifully obedient at home. We are now focusing on 'outside' obedience, but the progress is very slow compared to when home which I expected. Could tell me how long it take to train dog to be 100% reliable outside based on your experience? I want to know how long the journey is going to be;) thanks a lot and keep doing what you do!

  • @driendysky It depends on a lot of things. How often you work with your dog, how many different things you try to teach him, how consistent you are. Nothing is ever 100% - but by practicing and preparing for as many scenarios as possible, we can get pretty close.

  • @tab289 I work with my dog pretty much every day and we enjoy it both. As I am the only one training the dog and all my family knows what behaviour I want from the dog we are all pretty consistent. For How long did you teach your dog before she became so obedient even outside. Thanks!

  • i have 1 question, how do you get your dog to focus on you? (i dont have one yet but i do right down your answers =)) when you sit down when you first started training with her did you give her a few treats so she knew it would be a fun time or did she just do it natualy and sit and watch you as you train her, thanks alot =)

  • great vid, Tab! :D thanks for all the advice!

  • its great for new dog owner like me thanx

  • I always try to use positive enforcement when training my dog but how do you get your dog to stop a behavior immediately without saying no? for example, i have a 10 month old gsd who has started playbiting whenever I sit on the ground and the only way I could get him to stop is to say no, even then it doesn't always work. Any suggestions?

  • @tttemm I am not an expert, but this has worked with my puppy(Siberian husky).

    Occupie him with another toy as soon as he finds interest in biting your hands. Keep saying "no" if he bites you, or even try to say "auuu you're hurting me".

    you can also grab his cheeks firmly, look him deep into the eyes and say "No, no biting".

    This guy is all about positive reinforcement, and i believe he has great knowledge. But some cases are just a bit different, and should be treated this way

  • oh yea.. i have a question... do u have a video that teaches dog fetch?.

  • @Scallop10v3 Yes I do.

  • xD great video again .. xD... lols .. the floor looks slippery xD

  • HI, we´ve been following your videos for a while and have noticed that when ever you teach your dog something, he focuses on you. Ours is a 18 month old German Shepperd. At the moment we're teaching him to heel, but even in the garden without distractions, he doesn't seem to look at us or focus. Would it be more important to teach him eyecontact first, or is it really the position of the treat that does it? It's the first time now we use the clicker.

    Thanks

  • @thailanddoggy Teaching a dog eye contact can be very useful, as it opens up the gate to tell the dog when you want him to learn/do something.

    This can be done by having him on a sit command. Make him focus on a treat, and move it towards your face to you make eye contact with your dog. when does this consistently, you can add a "contact" sound like ""sss" or a click sound with your mouth. remember = sucees = treat

    This way your dog will know, whenever you say this sound, you want contact

  • @thailanddoggy Yes I would work on eye contact. I have a video on this also!

  • hey man been with you from the beginning! now my dog has a thing about bite my gloves ! he wont stop what should i do

  • @Besharm to teach your dog not to bite your gloves, is like when you teach him not to bite your skin.

    If all else fails, grab him by the cheeks and tell him "no biting". Make sure to have eyecontact with him.

    If you've taught your dog "leave it", this command should also work on your gloves. Simply tell your dog to "leave it", so he knows gloves are a "no no" ^_^

  • @Besharm I would try all the things I talk about in my video on stopping biting (but with gloves).

  • awesome as usual, really good explaining everything, thumbs up and sharing!

  • Thanks Tab and hugs for Solea!

  • Great Video, haven't seen one in a while but this was great stuff! thanks!

  • Great video!

  • that's a great video. THANKs ... PLZZZZZZZZ do more beginner videos like this

  • great vid thank you.

  • how should you punish ur dog the right way

  • @thekiddwhoknowsakidd By removing or withholding the reward. That's the only punishment needed in dog training.

  • do u have a vid that tells a dog not to pull on the leash. if u do what is it called... luv the vids

  • @thekiddwhoknowsakidd Yes, I have several videos on "loose leash walking".

  • Oh videocopilot. Where are you not on the web?

  • Another amazing video
