How to train your dog to be left alone- clicker training

More to come in this description box. But this video is of the beginning steps of how to train your dog to love being left alone as well as how to set up a error free environment to leave your new puppy in. This video is low quality 1-because its so long, but I wanted you to get a sense of "real time" from it, rather than a slick 3 min tutorial- which will be coming as well going over all the steps and problem shooting
2- because I had to use a different camera because Frys Electronics screwed up MY video camera!

Woohoo! Separation anxiety is my new pup's biggest problem, so I watched this video 3 times and then set up a room for Mr. NoName to stay in. Just had our first training session like in this video (about 10 minutes long), and he didn't whine or howl at all! In fact he lay down several times when I was out of sight. SO proud!! Thanks Em, I was wondering how on earth I'd manage to train him to be okay left alone! We'll be practising this lots and lots! :D I'm so happy!!

@AnimalLoverLizzy The key is knowing there is hope, I think! :) Tug would scream, pee and poop in his crate if you just closed the door when I got him- and I was like "ah! That is why the foster said she brought him EVERYWHERE with her! haha" Well, it was only a mater of lessons before he felt relaxed alone. I did need to take 2 weeks off though just to get him on the right start, as he seemed traumatized already. The first lesson I just walked in and out of the room repeatedly...

@kikopup continued...... I stepped in and out of the room he was in loose for about 15 minutes, each time I got near the door he would look horrified that I was leaving and then FINALLY he seemed to say "whatever" and that is when I reinforced him :) If he got up and left I would just go back into the room without him, finally he got tired. Working on a settle too really helps :) As they can learn to settle when they dont know what else to do (which is what happens when they are left alone)

[AnimalLoverLizzy]

@kikopup Tug's case sounds very similar to Noname's. I'm estimating about 2 weeks before I can leave him. He doesn't seem to be food or toy motivated at all so I find it tricky knowing how to properly reinforce him except by my own praising, but I don't want to overexcite him every time I come through the door. So today I've just been trying to make it as ultimately boring as possible with me going in and out the front door repeatedly. We've finally worked up to 1 minute of separation so far! :)

I'm a HUGE fan of your videos! I just got my dog 2 days ago, but I want to start training him now. He is a 4 month old German Shepard and he is an outside dog, so I am not sure how to use your great techniques on him because you have dogs that can come inside. In other words, how would I make him poop/pee in one spot in my garage or yard, or have him stop whining in the garage at night when he should be asleep?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPLY!!! thnx :)
