How to Train a Dog- dog training clicker

In this video you will learn the basic concepts on how to train your dog to fit perfectly into your particular life style. Please refer to my other videos for help regarding specific training situations. You can find the videos organized more clearly on my website: www.dogmantics.com

Remember you are training your dog 100% of the time! Every interaction you have with your dog is training them something. So you have to be conscious of this fact every time you interact with your dog.

Hi emily

I just wanted to say how great you and all the other positive trainers are. I am going to use this method when i get a dog. i recently saw an ad for a shock collar thats said to stop dogs barking. it said that it was the most humane way to stop a dog barking. what do they mean? that we, people, are just going to shock our dogs because its a normal thing to do. the comments for the ad werent great either. "my dogs love it" was one. how can they love it if its hurting them?

bye, wercia

@wercia55509 well, shock collars have been banned in many parts of Europe as well as Australia for being Inhumane. The only place that really uses them is us here in north america

My dog is hard headed ....

@Hungry2Play your dog is telling you that he is not finding the things that you thought were reinforcement as reinforcing as you thought they were. Try using new treats (real meat or cheese) and teach him to work for a toy or the things that he loves (like sniffing, etc)

@kikopup Is cheese okay for dogs? would it be too high in sodium? ?

[kikopup]

@schweetheartmonkee it is not healthy for dogs or humans, some dogs are intolerant to it. But tiny crumbles of cheese can work wonders. Also you could do something like smear a small amount of cream cheese in a baggie, and put the dogs kibble in there overnight, the next day the kibble will smell 'cheesey" and most dogs will usually find it highly rewarding

Hello,

I would like to thank you for all your wonderful videos. I have a standard poodle and a newly acquired Labrador/St. Bernard mix puppy. I trained my poodle to heel using a choke collar. I was unaware of any other method of dog training until I got my new puppy and stumbled upon your videos. Thank you for opening my eyes. I just got done reading a book you recommended, "The Culture Clash". Thank you so much! Your videos are helping dogs everywhere.

@Hpfan75 I have a schnauzer and trained him not to do the behaviors I didn't like,like pulling on leash,using the bathroom in the house and barking with positive reinforcement.

Hey! I'm 14 years old and I was thinking about getting a dog and training it with your methods. but I don't know what age I should get the dog at to train it. Does it matter what age the owner has to be to train it? Plus could you train a dog without a clicker?

@NotNadiaK Hope you don't mind me butting in here. When you want to fade out the clicker, a behaviour should be consistently on cue (either hand or verbal cue). If it is and you don't need to have any food lures in your hand at all, you can start fading out the need for a clicker, e.g. only click and treat for every 2 sits, then every 3, every 4 etc., then remove the clicker altogether and do the same with food. Then make it completely random as this keeps the dog guessing. Hope that helps
