[wolfluvforever]

[pimpo911]

[TheChillReeferMan]

[XGerardxxWayXmCrLvR]

my pitbull was really simple you didn't need treats you just took a handful of kibble and gave her one at a time like a treat and she thought it was , but sadly last year she died because someone threw poisoned meat into my yard on perpose and she ate it and she got so sick me and my friend had to put her on a blanket and trudge her into the car to take her to the vet and about two hours later she died and i miss her so much she was the best dog ever im just sad i had to see her in so much pain

[DemyGuerriero]

I like how Expert village always cuts people off >_>

[uglyfunface8]

this helped alot :)

[hilowle86]

She looks like an Anatolian Shepherd pupp

[BattlefeildBeast]

he gonnaget fat

[williankc]

I like all these training videos that i see in youtube but its clear that the dog your using is very well trainned, I just wanted to see how you do this to a puppy full of energy and hunger.

[mileydelgado]

thanks! now i can teach my dog and pups!

[xpiecemealx]

It seems like most of her videos teach the dog instant gratification.

[AdIgnorantiam]

@xpiecemealx You only see the couple minutes she's doing the preliminary training. The goal is to extend the duration of the command before the treat giving, and then eventually wean the dog from treats all together, so praise alone satisfies the dog. Eventually the dog takes the basically skills learned in this video and extends them over minutes. The training process takes weeks for the dog to really master.

[prinnylaga12341]

what kind of dog is that

someone pls responce

[ramseybenachour]

@prinnylaga12341 Did you ever figure out what kind of dog this was? I have just adopted a dog and this is the splitting image of him.

[hilowle86]

@ramseybenachour Hmm....if I had to guess from the video, I'd say shes a Anatolian Shepherd pup...

[ij921234]

im gonna try it on my cat lol

[iallancastillo]

THAT WAS NOT GOOD!

[RompePopola809]

no but that method is stupid and no your not gonna end up being cruel to your dog cuz if that was true then our parents were cruel too us

[gavroash]

@RompePopola809

How your parents raised you is none of my business. However, if one's parents punish them by grounding them, or taking away previllages, that's acceptable and even welcome at times. Once the parents start beating, call social services, and see what they'll say about it being a cruel or not. So if, by punishment you mean taking a way a previllages rom your dog, that's fine. If you get used to beating it as punishment, that's cruel.

[RompePopola809]

did i ever say anything about beating noo read things carefully before commenting

[MuttVids]

If it works what makes it stupid?

[Mr0HeRsHeYs]

that u need a clicker and that the dogs is gonna expect a treat everytime

[MuttVids]

@Mr0HeRsHeYs

No once the command is understood you faze out both the clicker and the treats. A dog that only works for treats is not a trained dog. The clicker and the treats are only there to help the dog understand what you want. The click says 'Yes that's what I want' and the treat says 'when you do this behavior good things happen'. You could use a word maker if you didn't want to use a clicker..it's not as instant as a clicker but if your consistent it works in the same manner.

[JiveDadson]

@Mr0HeRsHeYs Once the behavior is firmly established on cue, you phase out the rewards, first by making them less frequent, then random (unpredictable). The dog will keep trying, just like a dumb human at a slot machine. Dogs will keep the behavior on cue for a long time, requiring only intermittent "routine maintenance" of rewards, many of which can be praise or play rather than food.

[rollerbladingdude]

um thats not going to work when the dog wants to eat a dead bird :/

[MuttVids]

Yes it will, that's what makes leave it such an important command. If it didn't work so many trainers and owners wouldn't use it. When taught properly (this vid just shows one out of many ways to teach it) it should apply to all things the dog wants to get. You just have to teach your dog to generalize the command, leave it means leave it with food and people and dead birds and other dogs etc etc.

[ishup2008]

that sort of makes no sense :P

[savardavenger69]

your videos are informative, and you are cute too,,, thanks

[UrbanLegend1988]

how about dog poop?? what if your dog eat poops.. how do you train it without it eating poop? @.@

[RompePopola809]

i dont like her method of dog training

[GDL188]

but how else would you do it? hit the dog every time it tries to get the food? that's just going to make it scared of you. and scared of being touched by hands.

her method is the accepted one for all dog trainers and the kennel club.

[RompePopola809]

i taught my dog the meaning of the word no by everytime h e tries to get something hes not supposed to i walk real close up to him forcing him to step back and everytime he tries to get something hes not supposed to i tell him no and he understands theres plenty of methods to train you dog without treats or gay clickers look at cesar milan he uses no treats or clikers

[gagothesith]

I do not question the woman's abilities as a dog trainer, but I honesty wonder

1 why the dog is not trained to not pick food up from the ground to begin with;

2 why neither of the two dogs has been trained to not lunge at each other to begin with; and,

3 why the other dog cannot simply be kept away by a specific command instead of having to be pushed away each time (until it either gives up and goes away, or is called away by someone off-camera).

[vicg26]

with regards to your comment have you stop to think that maybe just maybe

1) she has only just recently got the dogs and their previous owners neglected to instill any training?

2) again same answer as above

3) once again same answer as above

we don't know the background on any of the dogs in the video they could be from a rescue shelter and she is helping to train them

[gagothesith]

Pipe down with your embellished-imaginative scenarios.

There are bad habits one is attempting to correct, and then there are bad habits one is not even attempting to correct or is in fact encouraging--guess which one I was referring to.

[vicg26]

'embellished imaginative scenario' how the hell do you know WHY these dogs aren't trained to YOUR standard?

as for whether or not she is or isn't attempting to correct certain habits, dogs don't do well if you try teaching to much at once, she obviously thought this training needed doing now and since SHE is the qualified trainer you should pipe down and butt out

[nimoonstar]

teaching leave it with food is extremely useful - it teaches the dog self control and patience not to go for the food (what if you were having a picnic?!) the dog not being worked with IS someone else's dog that is at the park we were at. His owner was no where around and was blocked from what we were doing till he finally gave up and left to find his owner. This was filmed at an actual dog park. The one being trained was borrowed to learn this behavior on the spot.

[gagothesith]

1 I agree with the usefulness of teaching "leave it" and of teaching self-control and patience.

2 I was not referring to the dog walking around.

3 I was referring neither to 1 above or 2 above--I was referring to

3-1 the dog being worked with, and

3-2 the fact that he is being made to *eat from the ground*.

Clearer now, I hope. Cheers.

[HKLivingston]

I can see that those three questions are reasonable ones to ask. The 2nd and the 3rd were addressed by nimoonstar, but the 1st remains unanswered. I, too, would like to know why. (By contrast, the bitchy conjecture of vicg26 is bewildering and outright offensive, without contributing anything factual or anything useful to the discussion.)

[williankc]

@gagothesith The other dog perhaps is not fully trained

[KatrinaDi]

@gagothesith Maybe he's a work-in-progress? That's why she was using him for the video.

[killer2222ify]

@gagothesith Actually the other dog the Red and white Brown whatever. Is a Basenji Basenji's you cannot easily atr all train to not be aggressive, they are hunting dogs, and verr unique,infact we have 2. They fight and growl almost everyday. WE can't do crap about it.
