 What's going on guys today? I have something that I've never done before on this channel. I'm really excited to do I hope you guys like it. What we're gonna do is we're gonna get out three different board and trains and Teach and introduce three different new behaviors to all three new dogs One of the things I want to teach you guys today is how to teach a dog how to focus on command How to tell your dog? Hey, look at me or watch me and have the dog actually cute of that and look directly at your face All you're gonna need is a little bit of food and a leash and of course a dog And it's really really simple guys and you can use this for many different things in the obedience world To get your dog to focus with you is just a great command to create that engagement create that glue Builds a better relationship and it's just one more thing in your toolbox that you can do with your dog So I'm gonna start that right now with Prince and I like to use food instead of an object Just because a food is very targeted you can target it very easily to your face Where if you use a ball or a tug toy, it's a little bit more difficult to to use that. So here we go Yes Focus Focus little pressure Prince Focus. Yes. Good focus. Yes. Good focus. Good focus. Yes. Good focus. Good focus So all you're gonna do guys is take that food write it right up from the dog's face right to your face good focus I contact good focus. Yes. Good. Okay break So if you guys just watch there a very beautiful thing He looked away, which is what your dog is gonna do more than likely Looked away little leash pop look right back at me. Bang. I paid the dog I'm just using focus as a cue for the verbal and you guys can do whatever you want. You can do focus watch me Bubblegum. It doesn't really matter Yes, focus. Yes. Good focus. Yes. Good focus. Good focus, buddy Good focus. Yes paying the dog directly from the actual focal point is Huge good focus because it doesn't take it doesn't take the dog's focus away So you're not going against what you're trying to teach good focus, buddy Right from the face, which is the target directly down to the dog's mouth good break So that was perfect. You guys continue to work on that duration So holding that focus for longer periods of time and so on and so forth now I'm gonna show you what the end goal should look like being able to take the food away and the dog's still locking in on you as the Target as a focus and then if the dog stays on you and the food's over here or the motivations over here You then reward the dog and that clearly tells you that the dog is proofed and that they understand the cue or the The command that you're asking them to do very clearly and they can capture it very clearly So we're gonna try that right now with Prince Prince sit. Yes. Good sit focus Good focus, so he's on me Good focus. Yes, but yes. Yes, good. Good. Good focus little verbal check there guys. No part focus So if your dog does this guys and looks away give a little pressure. Yes, good focus and then read. Yes, good boy Good focus. Yes So that's gonna happen break that's gonna happen with you guys pretty often What's gonna happen is is your dog's gonna look away and again? Just a little bit of leash pressure a little couple taps just to remind them Hey, buddy, look at me as soon as they do make sure you're using your verbals to say yes That's what I want you to do and they're just learning through that. All right, so the food's gonna come out focus. Yes, buddy Good focus good focus, so I'm gonna reward them there good focus Good focus food's gonna go away focus. Yes. Yes, good focus. Yes, boom. Good boy break So over time guys, this is the first time he's ever done it with me This is his first training session with the focus command. He's doing brilliant. He's a pit bull They're one of my favorite dogs to train awesome awesome job So the goal guys is for you to be able to say hey, I want you to focus on me the motives going away They stay locked in on you. They look at you. They do everything you want you then boom and then pay them If your dog tracks that item, you're not quite there yet You have to continue to work on that but the focus is gonna come in handy for all of his other Obedience in the future. So that's the focus command introduction one-on-one really quickly in this little series that we're doing with some of our boarding trains So if you guys have any questions on the focus command, make sure you leave them in the comments below We have the best community you guys are so good about helping each other in the comments I'll do my best to help as well, but that's the focus command. So we're gonna move on from that We're gonna get another dog and we're gonna do another thing All right guys So the next thing I want to do is just recall recall is obviously teaching your dog how to come to you on Command and I've even done other videos with this But what I'm going to do is give you some really easy tricks and tips on how to start the recall right now When you guys want to go home and work on this right now with your dog or one of your clients dogs So again, we have Bailey here. She's one of our boarding trains that we have been working with We haven't really been focusing on recall So we're outside it's a little bit more advanced all you're gonna need again is a flexi leash Because the dog can go out for longer periods of time and you can recall the dog in really quickly I like using the 25 foot flexi leash because it really gives you an advantage and leverage to sending the dog The furthest away you can and before I forget guys, we're doing a free no bad dog mask giveaway Just like we did the last video I'm giving three of them away all you have to do to enter to win is itch your neck No, I'm just kidding all you guys have to do is simply leave Letter by letter your dog's name in the comments below if you if you entered any other video It's totally fine. You can do it again. We're gonna keep doing this I want to give away as much free swag as I can do you guys you guys are the absolute best We're continuing to grow you guys are continuing to support each other. This is so fun So anyway, so leave your guys's dog's name letter by letter in the comments below Win yourself or an opportunity a free no bad dogs mask go and Bailey has a slip collar on and I have some food Motivation right here, so I'm gonna show you how to do this The first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna say the dog's name So you're gonna say Bailey come and that's the command that we're gonna be using now If she doesn't come it pretty quick then we're just gonna respond to the dog with a quick little check on the leash So we're gonna do it right here Bailey come. Yes. Good girl. Come little pop. Yes. Good girl Good. Okay break. So you guys just saw there how I redirected her path. So I said come She's like I don't really know what that is. She started coming towards me She turned a little bit and I gave her that pop on the slip collar Bailey come Yes, good. Come Yes So that was a perfect example you guys just saw about and again This is very easy and very basic But the key things that I want to tell you guys about teaching anything really but in this case recall the slip collar is huge It's the ability to correct or punish the dog if they completely ignore you this command a single-handedly a Legitimately a life-saving command if you say hey dog that I love so much come here because there's things going on and they don't That's a problem. So being able to actually punish the dog for non-compliance Will be the difference between your dog potentially living or dying in certain situations And I know it's dark, but it's the truth and I'm here to help you guys I'm here to help your dogs and of course. I'm here to help our board and trains So I think that like these little nuances that I'm teaching you guys in the tips and tricks segment here that we're doing today for the first time is just a little bit of slip collar a little bit of pressure to Make sure the dog gets corrected or punished or get some sort of pressure if they decide to say No, I'm just gonna ignore you and go my way that that example was perfect The other thing that I would mention is small little treats when you're doing any type of obedience work You don't want your dog chewing on it crunching on it treats are going everywhere All they need is a small little tiny piece of food I typically actually just let them lick this or chew on this and then I send them back out They don't need a lot guys and oftentimes just a good. Hey, good job. Good boy. Good girl is just enough as well Break so we're gonna do this again guys. We're gonna let her out We're gonna say her name. We're gonna ask her to come if she comes we reward her verbally Immediately if she doesn't come we correct her or punish her immediately Bailey come Yes, good. Come sit Yes, good. Okay, break. So now you guys are starting to meet you guys are starting to see me add a sit in there Now one thing again going into this little tips and trips tutorial is it's not so much teaching how to teach the recall It's more about all of the individual things that go in between the recall that make it successful and one of those things a lot of people struggle with is When you ask a dog to come a lot of times they just kind of come in your direction and then fly back away That's because when you're in this process and you're in this development stage of teaching the dog You want to teach them what you want in the future? So what do you actually what is come gonna mean for you? Do you want your dog to come and tag you you're it or do you want them to come and sit in front of you? So you can leash them up or you can you know keep them away from danger So that's the other thing I'm going to start doing and you guys will notice is I want the longevity of my obedience What I'm doing now should be applicable in the future So I'm gonna let her out and then you'll see I'll put her into a sit in front of me and then I'll pay her I want the bridge between the sit and the come to be one One thing so when I tell her to come she comes to me I put her into a sit I pay her and it's all gravy So that's that's what I want in the future because that's what I want the recall to be so that's what I'm gonna do Bailey come. Yes. Good car Sit. Yes, good break. So that was another equation that you guys got to see she turned to me But she didn't come to me. So if your dog is halfway or Trying to say like then you give them that that correction They heard you but they decided not to comply to what you wanted So that was a perfect example of what to do if your dog just decide. Yeah, I'm not really into that right now Give him a quick pop. We're gonna do this a couple more times and then we're gonna grab another dog and do a brand new other thing Bailey come. Yes. Good girl. Sit. Yes, absolutely. Wonderful. Good. Good job All right guys, so last but certainly not least we are working with grizzly bear. He's also one of our newer board and trains He's a German Shepherd and he's gonna be working on leave it So leave it is going to be impulse control thresholds Basic obedience of like you can't have that unless I say this is so big for so many people for so many different reasons The leave it command is something that we put in every single boarding train that comes through our facility No matter what and so basically guys what it does is it just tells the dog? No, you can't have access to that. You can't have it. That's the way we apply it and with dog training as you guys know There's so many different variables of how to apply things and things like that But in this case leave it is just hey, buddy. This food's gonna go down I know you want it but you can't have it until I say so we're gonna get right into it right now So I'm gonna let him know what I got Sit. Oh, yes. Good sit. Good boy So all I'm gonna do guys is he has a little plastic pinch on so we're gonna put the food down leave it Leave it Good leave it So as you guys just saw I corrected him for going after the food So all I'm using is the leash and I'm just giving him some some pressure on the leash if he goes for the food without my permission We've already done the break with him so he understands and knows that but when I ask him to Leave it basically he has to leave it Yes, good leave it and the other key to this success guys. Yes. Good boy leave it Yes, good leave it. Yes Good break other key to this success guys is having a secondary source of motivation and in this case It's gonna be for my treat pouch So I'm basically gonna put the food down and I'm gonna tell him leave it if he leaves it He's gonna get paid from the same currency or the same Motivation from me so he's like all right. I'll listen to you bummer But then I'm like hey boom and then I pay him now again The leave it is gonna be applicable to barking at other people barking at cars Counter-surfing literally anything anything you want your dog. Hi, buddy. I know Literally anything you want your dog to not go after or engage in will be the leave it command So I'm gonna continue to do this and proof him through this so you guys can see exactly how to do it I'm gonna ask him to leave it grizzly bear leave it Yes, good leave it Yes Leave it Leave it Good leave it So as you guys just saw he went in knows and I I'm wait He has to wait for my permission to access this food. So again, it's it's threshold building its relationship building its impulse control It's obedience. It's all of that but that was brilliant So really for you guys at home get yourself some sort of collar that Administrates some sort of correction or punishment or pressure Martin Gale collar flat call any any type of collar that just says no no no you can't have that yet And then I'm gonna now I'm gonna show you exactly how to release it So the next question is is like well how when do I let them have it on your terms? He doesn't know break as much as he does leave it at this point. So if I break him He's not necessarily gonna go to the food. So I'm just gonna give him food. Yes break good Yes break good Where's he better leave it? Yes, good leave it So you guys get can get creative and continue to like work on Whatever it is that your dog is obsessed with or motivated by or locked on That's a great way to teach to leave it and then the leave it is gonna be applicable Across the board and all your dog training purposes with your clients or with your own personal dogs But it's just a great way to build a relationship.
