Before you start training with food- clicker training dog

This is the first thing you want to train your new puppy or rescue dog before using food or toys to train with. Basically you are teaching the dog a default leave it from the treats and your treat bag when working with food.

I'm so glad I found your videos! :D I was amazed how quickly this works.

[kikopup]

@Pandaraze Yes! With the right reinforcement and setting the dog up to succeed!

whatcompany of treats you ar eusing ?

[kikopup]

@iMusicTranceHipHop I like to keep it healthy and use real meat, but I will use kibble, and cheese, and any sort of brand of dog treats that are soft and easy to cut up and swallow. But I try to stick with the fresh stuff.

I have a 2 year old chihuahua and she hates the clicker..She understands it, it seems once we do it for a while, but as soon as I pull out the clicker and click it, she hates the sounds and gets scared. After a few minutes of doing it she gets over it though and gets the connection..Do I need a clicker that isnt so loud?

[kikopup]

@OfARepublic Yeah, I muffle mine with layers of duct tape on the dimple or a piece of poster take on the dimple- if you were to click it near your head you would see how fricken loud they are- its silly they still make clickers that loud- I think so many dogs get so scared of them the first time they hear them- really silly...

if your dog eats grass and poop, that's a strong indication he isn't getting what he needs from his dogfood. Know that even popular, expensive and 'veterinary recommended' food might actually be of a horrible quality, containing little but waste products from corn production and the like - research and find a better brand of dogfood in your area. Supplement with extra root vegetables, peas and the like if your dog still eats grass. Also get a vet check in case he has a medical problem.

cool! thanks.

@111hachi I don't know what Kikopup would personally advise, but I have a book recommendation for you. Check out "Feisty Fido" by Patricia McConnell and Karen London. It's a very short and inexpensive read about handling leash reactivity. Your dog may not learn to LOVE other dogs, but if it can learn to tolerate them then great. Search for a video called "Study in Leash Reactivity -- Video 1 Brandi" (it won't let me link it). It demonstrates an owner working with her reactive dog.

You're amazing! Thank you!!! :)

hi, i think your video is great, i have a 1 year old husky who isnt keen on other dogs ,do you have any videos or advice on how to deal with this, thanks.

[WolfSoul89]

how smart is the rescued dog? or is just me ? XD great video, as always!

[Ichijojichan]

Simple, elegant, and it seems like it should be obvious; always train for the behavior you want. But mugging was a huge stumbling block for me, oh, around 5 years ago, when I got a few hours to work with horses (I hadn't before). Perhaps I would have thought more clearly with a smaller animal, but I think any beginner will be grateful for this tip. The low value treat tip is a stroke of insight as well, thank you.
