Haha - I did say that and never noticed it.

Your videos are really awesome Eric, they're really helping me with my new border collie.

I just have a quick question, i've heard you say in videos that when it comes to training it's about repitition. How much time do you spend a day focusing on one thing? hours?

and do you do one thing for a week, then move on to something else, then come back to the previous thing before, or how long do you focus on one obedience trick?

[eletendre1]

Great question! I do training in 10 minute sessions. I always want the dog really excited about training. If I want to train more I'll do another session a few hours later.

I work on a couple of commands in each session. I keep working at it until the dog can do the command with distractions.

Good luck and please let me know how you do with your dog's training.

Best,

Eric

When the dog goes after the squirrel and then suddenly hears his name, he will instantly recall this game that you two have rehearsed countless times. The dog will understand, regardless of how much he wants that squirrel, he needs to disregard it and return to his owner.

@MsZoraZ the clicker helps a LOT, try smaller steps like clicking an ear twitch, then head turning sideways, then dog looking at you, then moving towards you (OC it, instead of expecting the gold right off the bat), always pay the dog where you clicked in the direction the head was when you clicked...also you have to do WAAAAY more then just practicing with a treat if you want your dog to do this when it sees a squirrel, keep increasing the criteria

@mikeyconlon I think he says "I throw a treat"....

[MsZoraZ]

I tried it with my dog, but she didn't really seem to catch on even the 20th time, so next time I try it I will include the clicker.

[MsZoraZ]

It's similar to the leave-it command, except not only are you getting your dog to stop and look at you, but to come towards you.

you people are buttwipes, who cares what he said, just as long as you understood the point of the lesson, that is teaching your dog to come when called.

[MaroodaKennels]

I tried it but it didn't work, but it was the first time.

@mikeyconlon He said "treat", not "tree". I can see how you got confused with that one

I have a question , every time I command my dog to sit , he obeys and sits, but when I give him the treat he paws with one paw and won't let me give him the treat , it's like he wants to snatch it from my hand , I always have the treat firmly gripped with my thumb on top and my index holding the treat on the bottom so it won't get snatched from my fingers, how do I get him to stop pawing me when I give him his reward? so I grab one paw so he won't lift the other while praise him 4 the mean time

@mikeyconlon he said "throw a treat"
