Ian Dunbar is an amazing trainer. I have a great deal or respect for him. I think the only thing he did "wrong" in this video was to reward the dog while it was fixating on something. Catch 22 really, because he wants to reward the obedience, but this fails if the dog's mind is elsewhere. Should also avoid raising his voice when giving an instructive reprimand, as it can sound excited to a less well trained dog. Good technique for a passive animal, not so good for an excitable breed however.
@slrAU you can still praise him for looking at another dog. It's a good thing, right? he could be leaping towards it or barking, then you would not reward.
@CrueLoaf: My comment was about timing and context. If you reward a distracted or excited state of mind, the dog learns to associate acceptable behaviour with those states of mind. This is why I said it was "Catch 22", because he's rewarding the dog for maintaining the sit-stay, and the dog is very calm, very submissive, so in this case it works, but he's also rewarding distraction if the dog's fixating rather than simply looking around, A subtle distinction if you don't read the dog well.
You must be an idiot. And let me explain to you why. The objective is to have the dog obey the sit command and if he does to give him praise for getting the command right. The dog obeyed the command the whole time therefore achieving the objective!!! The fucking thing worked like a charm and your all your damb ass can say is "this is stupid."
you must be a bitch... let me explain why. I dont care about ur opinion, yet u insist on telling me like it could ever interest me lol. Watch my videos, Im a dog trainer. Fuck your opinin.
Hahaha. That's it? bitch, fuck you? That's it? Lol. I must have hurt you with a little bit of logic so you went into a shock and came back with bitch and fuck you. Lol. I feel sorry for the dogs that have work with you. Lol.
Just came across this video and noticed your unproductive comments a year later but I still feel the need to say something because maybe I'm just another bitch. I don't see you giving a better way of doing it. Congratulations, you're a dog trainer, this guy is a veterinary animal behaviorist and has probably been studying dog behavior since before you were out of high school. Oh fun fact, this is the guy that FOUNDED the APDT.
They call it a choke chain, but it's really a type of slip collar. It's purpose is to divert attention when a dogs mind is in an elevated state of excitement, and should sit loosely on the dog. Used correctly, a correction with a slip collar does not hurt, nor does it choke the dog. The problem is that most people use the collars incorrectly, risking harm to the dog . Like the collar though, navigating the stair provides a distraction to an excited canine mind. Personally, I use both. ;-)
his adoreable.

Great advice. Although, I am very careful with the word 'reprimand' as it has many connotations.

Compared to what, dominance or classical conditioning? Sorry, operant conditioning methods have been shown to be far more reliable and effective.

@DoggRazor At least he doesn't use a choke chain!
Do you not train your dogs for success?
By using a stair you illuminate one problem. This helps the dog learn. Simple. No punishment or leash jerk required!

@DoggRazor Although it may not be the most dramatic way of training a dog, he really knows what he's doing.
