 Hello everybody! Live, live, live. Just wanted to hop on here guys and answer your questions, your dog training questions. This is also something I've been wanting to do because you guys have just been awesome and I haven't posted a lot of videos this week so I wanted to hop on here live and answer your questions. So when you get in here, let me know you guys are here as well as just leave a comment and then we're going to get started. I appreciate you guys hopping on. It's up Devon, Christina, Manuel, Adam, Logan, Robin, Richard, what's going on? Whoa cool! What's up Jordan? Hope everyone's doing well. Cool, cool. Yeah there's a cat in here somewhere. Again, Tammy, Beverly, what's going on? Janelle, Daniel, Danielle, sorry. Terrence, cool. Alright guys, so we're just going to, like I said, I just want to, Samuel, what's going on? I just wanted to hop in here and just answer your questions. I'm gonna go over some Q&As. I was a couple minutes late because I was out helping, I was on a walk with my dog Thompson, my Saint Bernard and there was a loose dog in the cops who were like trying to help and the young guy was like chasing the dog and couldn't get to him. So I was out there running around so sorry I'm a couple minutes late. So let's just get rolling in with some questions. If you guys don't have any questions, just drop a comment. Let me know you guys are from and we're going to do a giveaway at the end of the video. I'm going to give away a free No Bad Dogs signature leash, the red ones that I use in my dog training videos. What's up Corey? Alright, thank you Pam, Mississippi. Brianna asked, how can I help my three or four month old puppy with the fear of loud noises? Well, first thing you got to do is desensitization. So if your dog is afraid of certain things, the first thing to do is desensitization. That's the best thing to do is just get them exposed to new things. Dogs specifically, if they're raised in a non-environmentally like different things going on and then they go to a new place, it becomes very stressful for them. So lots of positive reinforcement. I'd go to a semi-ish busy area, maybe like a Lowe's or Home Depot or a place where there's going to be kind of loud noises but nothing too crazy and just bring some motivation, some food, give them some motivations. If you guys are here, go ahead and like this video really quickly. Let me know you guys are here. And like I said, I just want to, this is given back to you guys. We've gained just a lot of subscribers and I wasn't able to put out as many videos as I usually do this week. So I just, this is my way to thank you guys for supporting me, liking and commenting and all the stuff that I do. Congratulations to all the people who won some free stuff and the free online stuff. It was very nice to meet everybody. I appreciate everybody supporting me and supporting the movement, supporting the No Bad Dogs and just helping each other in the comments has been really cool to see. You guys have been like answering each other's comments, referring to videos, even sticking up for me in certain situations where I don't see all that nonsense stuff. So I just wanted to give back to you guys and hop on here and answer your questions. So again, thank you guys so much for the support. I'm excited. And again, we're going to do a giveaway at the end of the video. How obedience is best? How young is it okay for an E-collar training? I have a four month old. E-collar, it's a great question. I would say like between four to six months is probably the youngest I would go. It really just depends on how well the dog understands the obedience. So as you know, E-collar training is something that we're going to apply to enforce behaviors the dog already knows. So when we're doing E-collar training, the most important thing is the dog knows the things you're asking them to do. So that would be fine. You just don't want to teach new things with the E-collar. At that age, you want to enforce the things that they already know. So that would be fine. How can you tell when a dog understands the E-collar? And again guys, I'm going to be on here live just answering as many questions as I possibly can. So don't worry if I don't get yours. I'll try to get to as many as I can. So that's a great question about how how do you tell if a dog understands the E-collar. You want to make sure that you get a nice unit first of all. I think that that's like widely misunderstood that the units that you're supposed to be using are units that have low enough stimulation to communicate with the dog. So you want to make sure that the E-collar that you have has a low enough stimulation for the dog to respond well to. So some physical or external things that you can see in a dog when they when they feel the sensation is eye twitching. So they do this a little bit. They're kind of like what's that much like if somebody poked you and you're you know poked you like that except it's not physical. So they're kind of like trying to figure it out. One thing that you want to make sure of with the remote collars, we just had a Rottweiler come in and deal with the same thing about the dog was in conditioning mode which means we're layering in the E-collar very non non aversive at all very non-corrective. Hey do you get it? Do you feel this? This is me buddy. Very positive experience, very lovely enjoyable experience for the dog and he was kind of like he was kind of like trying to do this trying to figure out like what it was and if your dog does that that means it's just a little too high in the conditioning stages. So let's see I have a two-year-old golden retriever. I have a two-year-old golden retriever. How do I get her to stop jumping on myself especially my clumsy three-year-old? That's a good question. You know you guys for me it's about creating a template. So just making sure that whatever your dog is dealing with all the online that I do guys and all of the videos that I put out it's a template of what do you what are you actually doing about it? So if a dog is doing something that you don't like especially if it's a very primal behavior like it's not like a behavioral issue where they're like very neurotic and they're attacking things or they're whining or something like that it's not a behavioral modification issue it's more of a leash training issue. So if your dog is pulling on the leash you have to teach him heel. If your dog is jumping on you you have to teach him off and as you guys know I've trained so many different ways of dog training throughout the the years that I've been doing this and one of the most effective ways for for really stable like secure dogs is just to just give them some sort of correction or discipline. So maybe stepping in the leash when the dog jumps up and self-correcting the dog telling the dog off doing a lot of like negative punishment by removing your attention to the dog and when the dog sits then you reward them. That's all like rainbows and butterflies guys like you guys know I talk about a lot there's a lot of videos floating around with people just saying just ignore your dog until they act good and then you just give them attention when they do that would be awesome in a realistic situation you know if you didn't have an out of control crazy dog literally scraping your back up and making you bleed all over the place yeah I trained for reality as you guys know so for me it's really just about I don't want my dog to think that that's okay to do and I don't want my dog to think that's appropriate to do to to my friends family people who are coming over so just making sure that you're being assertive and correcting the dog when they do those things and marking it so a lot of questions rolling in guys I appreciate it very much if you guys are just getting here don't forget to like this video we have almost 200 people in here if you guys just hit that like button for me and then I'm gonna keep rolling on these questions alright how do I how do I get my dogs to stop pulling on the leash you have to teach them heal there's no dogs aren't robots or computers you can't go in and just delete something stop pulling you can't turn that switch off unless you teach them something else to do so you have to make sure that your dog knows heal it's it's not a it's not an easy thing to accomplish by teaching an animal that you live with that has four legs to walk nicely on a leash but it's something that you have to spend the time and the effort to go in and teach them how to walk nicely on a leash I have I have hundreds of videos on that I would suggest just looking through some of my playlist on that when is the model use appropriate it's a good question Tammy muzzle use for me guys is is something that I think more people should be doing it's a safe it's a safe thing it's it's just like teaching a dog that the muzzle is okay and you're doing it positively and it's it's great for the dog to understand that the muzzle is a good thing and I think more importantly I think the more muzzles that we use the more society accepts them because you know when I was in Europe last year there was a lot of muzzle wearing simply because they didn't want dogs to eat all the junk off the floor and it was just like a very like organic thing nobody really thought anything twice about it here in the States I think when when people when people wear muzzles that we just assume that they're aggressive so you just start muzzle training if you feel like your dog is insecure and nervous there's gonna have behavioral issues in the future the earlier you start that muzzle training with a little bit of peanut butter making that stuff positive is a great thing and again I just want to say thank you guys so much for joining me I'm answering your dog training questions as my sign of gratitude and appreciation for you guys and we may do this a couple times a week if you guys want all right what is the best way to get my dog to come and sit right in front of me as close as possible and look right at me well that's something that you have to teach in sequence so in traditional dog training or classical dog training that would be like a here command or a front command so a lot of times what you do is you just set up like you teach the dog how to touch on a pad like this so you teach them how to touch on a touch pad and then when you recall them you'll recall them straight to you and when they come to you you'll finish it with that touch so the first thing you do is put that touch in front of you and teach the dog with a leash on how to get the dog to touch on the touch pad boom boom good touch boom boom good touch spin a couple days doing that put the touch pad in front of you and then recall and then obviously recalls a separate command so then you bridge those two together teaching the dog to recall and when they come to you they will obviously then say you say touch and then you put they put their two front feet right on the touch pad so that's how I would do that just takes a little bit of time but if you do the recall and the touch separately and then you combine them you'll be in business my dog is super reactive towards bike skateboard scooters etc no biting but lots of barking and lunging any tips got a Herm Springer from your site cool yeah so that's the first place to start is just work on the leave it command and then I think also to just understanding that that those wheels and stuff is a prey drive so if your dog is into those moving things chances are the breed is very pre pre driven and wants the opportunity to go and chase those things because they think it's fun so there's nothing wrong with that I just you got to teach your dog that that's that's inappropriate behavior and the way to do that is just by correcting them so that's you've looked sounds like you've already done sorry I'm just turning my fan on here sounds like you guys have already you've already done that preliminary work to get the dog to get the dog out and you've got your correction collar so now you just have to desensitize it over time so I would expose your dog to those things skateboards bikes etc and then use positive reinforcement just be very balanced about it so you're gonna start saying leave it when the dog reacts to those things you're gonna physically or verbally correct the dog and then once the skateboard or bike goes past and they just watch it then you pay him so you just teach him that way my dogs recall is good with rewards but when I call her outside she is distracted she doesn't come tips yep that's a great question I have another video on that too but you know for me guys as you guys know I've trained so many different ways and I've already said that once in this live and I'm I said this in my one of my videos recently with my e-caller training video with the puppy which is the thumbnail of this video my name my boy Louis I'm not naive to animals primal behavior I know that they're animals I know that they're dogs and when I asked them to come to me and they decide that something else is more important I know that that's that's gonna happen because that's that's exactly like you know how things work in the animal kingdom is they're very selective hearing so you just have to make sure you can enforce your verbals just like with with kids if you say hey my kid only listens to me when it's beneficial for them well then obviously you got to make some sort of consequences if they don't comply I think the moral this this story that we're talking about with the recall without food is making sure that you are able to the dog fully understands what you're asking them to do so that's like the biggest thing is just making sure that the dog really really understands that when you recall they're like oh I know what that is and then if they don't you can get a 30 foot long line and then pop one of my most recent videos I think my most recent video is how I recall all my dogs off leash would be a great guidance for for you in doing that what does it mean if your dog is reactive it's a it's a good question I think reactivity is is basically two things coming together to create another thing so it's different from aggression it's different from you know real real aggression and the dog being inherently like mean reactivity means you have Mentos and Coca-Cola separately that's all they are if you bring them together they react so if you have a dog on the leash and then you have another dog on the leash and there's a reaction that's what reactivity means you have two things equaling a reaction in my opinion Maddie I'm trying to answer your question here so quick question in the conditioning phase we found that our our dog's number when he responds to it but it's in some cases he feels it and ignores it any suggestions great question I'm assuming you're talking about the E-caller I would just make sure that the E-caller is tight enough for for so you have really continuous ability and and consecutive abilities to recall the dog and make sure that it's tight enough so the dog feels it I can't tell you how many times that the equipment literally just isn't on quite well and the dog just ignores it for that reason so I have a video that I would recommend on what to do if your dog doesn't come back it's with the German Shepherd when I was training out in Michigan and I teach people how when and how to go up on the remote collar because it's something I don't have a great deal of opportunity to talk about in my videos cool I also wanted to say I'm we just confirmed up a venue in the UK for me to go to the UK and we're gonna do some training in the UK so it's I believe it's right outside of London and so I'm really excited about that I forgot to mention that in the beginning I was I was going to but for anybody out there that's in the UK we are going to make a trip to the UK and do a seminar we're gonna spend about a week there and we're gonna be training so it's really exciting I'm really grateful that that's an opportunity and we're thinking about doing that in the spring once COVID allows us to travel so just wanted to let you guys know that that I am going to be going to the UK to do a seminar which I'm really excited about my dog goes crazy when fireworks go off and thunderstorms so bad he goes to the bathroom in the house how can I help him well when you're dealing with fireworks and you're dealing with things that you can't control thunderstorms that's a very like natural thing for a dog to go and seek shelter so it's really tough the best thing to do is to just kind of drown that noise out lots of exercise and honestly you know I'm really big about making your life as less stressful as possible so the best thing to do is is to just make sure that if you can if you have the opportunity when fireworks are going to go off during holidays or something to just just literally remove your dog from the situation and if you can't try to drown those noises out as much as possible there's also like the stress best things I can't remember with the call but if you guys leave them in the comments I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about and then the other thing is is CBD really helps a lot too for my dogs I found Madeline or Madeline sorry I don't know which one that is our trainers against e-collars and shock collars because he thinks they're the same and is uneducated about them and our dogs need to e-collar Felicia any tips wow that's a really great question yeah I think you know over the next 200 years we're gonna be constantly trying to educate people on the safe and humane usage of technology of the remote collar it's something that you know we've been working on and I'm grateful for the opportunity to like be able to put content out to teach people about these remote collars and I know that you guys have had some good feedback and we get messages all the time from people saying that you know the e-collar has helped them and save their save their life save their relationship and they didn't know anything about them the differences so the best thing to do is to just send that individual if they're open a lot of dog trainers are not open to new information which is unfortunate so the best thing to do is maybe send them some information maybe a video that I've put out or somebody else that's put out of like hey I just want I just want to show you what this is and what it can be thunder shirts that's it thank you BJC but yeah I think that that's like the best thing to do and then the other thing is is you have to realize that you are a client like you are paying for your trainer they need your services just as much as you need their services and if it's something that they're not willing to open up to and you truly believe that that's something that you really want to get done and happens to us all the time like we have trainers or we have people come from trainers from all over and they just said that they're not open to do different things that they think that they need and so the best thing to do is to just you know end that relationship with that trainer and maybe get another trainer in your area it's the best thing to do how do I get an extremely fearful skittish dog on the leash she's terrified of everything and hates it when she feels someone has control over her she doesn't bite in fear but she goes just limp Amanda that's a good question honestly to be honest I well honestly to be honest I am patience is the name of that game just being super patient the video that I I refer to a lot of the videos that I do because it's like I can just say hey watch this video because it's exactly dealing with that the video that I recently did with the hound dog is is like really really up your alley with that I think it was my I think it was my latest video where the dog shut down every time that we went into like a different room of training he'd shut down and I'd pull and he'd shut down he ended up like choking himself I'm like alright so then I switched to the prong collar and it literally changed everything and I've done that multiple different times with the prong collar with those dogs who shut down because what happens is is those those points of pressure come up even I mean I'm not I'm not exaggerating I'm not just saying this literally this dog would shut down shut down shut down shut down try to like and then I was like okay I don't want to like choke this dog put the prong collar on and then literally I just gave it a little pop and the dog went boop and then popped right forward like that no joke so watch that video and then make sure that if you go that route that the prong colors just fit properly you don't want anything too big unless it won't work you'll be in the same boat this is so fun hope you guys are having fun if you guys are here don't forget to like this video I'm gonna take some water while you guys do that you guys want to see my cat this is my cat Pip sometimes I call him Piparoon Piparoni he's usually right up in my face he's a troublemaker aren't you buddy all right let's get into it my nine month old Dave probably Dane is super reactive to strangers what's or maybe your dog's name is Dave what's the best training to help again I would I don't want to waste anybody's time here time is valuable especially here on a Sunday appreciate you guys but I have I have I think over a hundred videos on on leash reactivity I would I would definitely just just try to look at that big bearded Mike I rescued an abused Pitbull but he's scared of me how do I let him know he's safe with me great question if you have a dog that is fearful of even you I would I would go and just work with that dog very organically so the best thing to do is just go for a walk try to get that dog out and go for a walk every single dog loves a good walk so just bring that dog out and go for a walk and and try to enjoy each other's time so training is not important right now at relationship building is so just go out and just try to do everyday stuff with the dog to build that relationship and build that trust and then try to get in to do some some obedience training after that maybe like a place command or you know whatever structured walks have been the best thing for my reactive dog yes I would agree does neutering a small dog help aggression not not really it's not going to take it away if that's the question no it's not can a dog known can a dog know which person to take advantage of yes the answer is absolutely just like with kids if mom is more this way and dad is more this way or vice versa the dog absolute I can't tell you how many times that happens in training sessions and you guys may have seen it on my videos where I hand the leash off to one owner and then the dog acts a certain way and I hand it off to the other owner the dog acts a certain way again I'm gonna do a giveaway at the end of this video so if you guys want to hang out and keep hanging out with me as I answer questions I appreciate it you guys like I said time is valuable you guys are from all over the world and on your Sunday and you're hanging out with me I appreciate that very much it's very cool I'm grateful for it how would you use a small prong collar on a small dog just get very very small prongs that's all easy hi David how are you husky through Sam ass Husky throws a royal tantrum on the leash and any a version self-correct with prong collar ignore Z collar GSD hell yeah you got a husky that's what they do that's like that is their MO the huskies are like really tough dogs to work with actually if you guys have listened to any podcast or any interview about that it's Huskies are the hardest breeds to train Huskies in Great Danes they're just not built for obedience they're not built for wanting to do things with people they're like working dogs they'd rather live outside and do nothing but they're beautiful so people buy the crap out of them thank you Jason I appreciate that brother but when you're working with a husky the best thing to do is normally historically what happens is is dogs dog owners will literally just have a conversation with their dogs so when you're moving forward and you want to go do something with your dog the best thing to do is to just use your momentum look that way and move forward a lot of times what people do is they sit there and they have a conversation come on come on come on that's a conversation don't don't don't make it be a conversation you just move so turn your shoulders go that way and just pop the other thing I would recommend is get yourself a long line get yourself a long line if you're using a prong collar that's the best pop pop pop and just just move the dog along I've never had a dog not respond to that sequence so I would just assume that making sure your prong collars fit properly get yourself a 30 foot long line pop the dog forward and don't have a conversation about it when and what should you teach a new puppy when you get it eight weeks old it's a great question Jessica I personally like with my dogs I teach a lot of relationship building games I teach a lot of engagement games so you guys always ask me with my dog Lakota how do you get how do you get your dogs to look at you all the time and that's something I teach at a very early age so obviously an eight week old puppy is gonna be food motivated more than likely so I'd get yourself like some soft treats like we use happy Howie's or you can use Stuart's pro treats you're welcome Sam and you can get the dog to work that way and so what I do as I work on a focus command first I don't really necessarily do like any cues yet or any any like verbal cues I just work on relationship so what I'll do is I'll get the dog to focus on me I'll pay the dog and pay the dog for engagement and then I'll put the food in the bowl I'll move it over this way like if I put the bowl this way and then I and then as soon as the dog looks at me I then paid the dog that way so I'm looking on I'm working on engagement first threshold stuff so if you want to get like a little slip collar or slip leash you certainly can which is like this and you can just put it on a puppy and just teach pressure thresholds walking in and out of the doorways things like that totally cool but I work in relationship first especially with a new puppy you guys don't have the opportunity to see me work with dogs with no behavioral issues much so all of the dogs that I primarily work with especially that I put out here on YouTube or behavior modification cases so relationship sometimes goes out the window immediately because I got to worry about the dog trying to hurt me so anyway it's a great question when should you stop using food for train of puppy I have a video on that it's called get your dog to listen to you anywhere or something like that I go over that entire process my dog was abused and with a prong and now shuts down I'm at a loss any tips yeah that sucks you know that's that's the that's the problem with with tools as people can abuse them easier unfortunately so just don't use it just use a slip and then use lots of chances are your dogs gonna be just scared of everything at that point so I would just thank you very much guys for all these questions by the way but I would just go over to a slip collar and and and use that maybe and just make it a very positive thing Diana Debbie thank you guys help when meeting new dogs everything is fine until they try to snap and smell her butt but she snaps at them what can I do to help sometimes dogs just aren't that social sometimes dogs aren't that confident sometimes dogs don't like other dogs approaching them and that's okay and I think you have to like make that distinction of is your dog being like really bratty or is your dog actually not comfortable with other dogs coming into their personal space so I would say you know definitely if you're in an environment that the dog doesn't know well go for a walk together and I wouldn't I wouldn't suggest dog parks it's way too much stimulation it's way overload so if you have just one other dog and they're trying to get to know each other have them get to know each other obviously your dog doesn't like that like confrontation and all of that conflict right at first so I would just go for a walk to get them to know each other a little bit more yes I believe in using muzzles I use them all the time thank you for liking my videos I appreciate that ah let's see my 10 month old golden doodle shows no aggression but is extremely anxious with new people or when I leave her with anyone she growls at new people well Kelsey you know that's that's something that you're going to have to work on I think I think the most important thing that I've seen from this is dog owners talking to their dogs way too too much so there's a lot of confusion so the dog is insecure almost every single dog that I'm not almost every I would say the majority of dogs that I work with that are insecure have anxious issues are usually because the owners have made them that way and the one of the biggest things is dog owners talking to their dogs way too much so right from the get-go the dog owner just treats their dog like some sort of child and confuses the dog right off the rip talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk every day talk talk talk every single day and then by the third or fourth day your dog is home with you your dog does not respond to you your dog does not look at you for direction your dog does not care about what you have to say because you've talked so much to the dog and your dog is not going to go for you for information so a lot of times when when dogs and puppies are this at that age and they don't like other people it's because they have very very very low confidence in themselves as well as insecurity issues so I'd really check in audit your relationship first before you dive into what do I do about my dog not being confident with other people I would check your relationship first Ashley asks hi how do I control my dog from not barking every time you see another dog I have a bunch of videos on reactivity but the most important thing is teaching your dog what not to do again dogs aren't robots we can't go in and flick them off and say hey let's let me just get in there oh yeah I'll turn that off for you anything else you want me to turn off doesn't work like that you got to spend the time to understand why your dog is reacting and then you have to spend the time on how to condition your dog or counter condition your dog to not do the things that you want them to do so patients spend the time to learn on what you should be doing if I booked a weekend workshop with you at the facility what would we expect I would email us about that that's kind of a long process thanks Cynthia she says this is great awesome I'm glad you guys are enjoying this is there an age when a dog is too old or too late to train no not necessarily it just takes a little bit more too early no there's no there's never too early to train I always say when people ask me what's the best age to train now now is the best age to train and if they're older you just got to spend a little bit more time and just have a little bit more patience is the Belgium Malinois more obedient than the Dutch Shepherd they're literally this pretty much the same dog so I wouldn't say one way or the other thank you so much jh99 if you guys like this live stuff let me know in the comments below even if you aren't answering asking questions because I'm thinking about doing this maybe once a week and then there's also this thing called super chat that I was interested in where you guys can support me by donating money and and helping me like go full-time doing YouTube and doing more of this because I would do more of this if you guys you know wanted to see it so anyway let me know if you guys are liking this thank you thank you thank you guys thank you my four month old GSD goes nuts when she sees our cat crying barking shaking drooling do you have any tips well that sounds like a prey drive so cat and mouse type game so the dog says hey there's a there's a cat and so you got to be careful obviously for the cat's safety that the dog doesn't you know go after your cat and try to kill it like a like a rag doll because that's kind of what happens so I would be doing a lot of muzzle training at that point no no Jenelle it's not patreon super chat is actually built right into YouTube so you guys are able to like buy different things like two dollars one dollar twenty dollars hundred dollars or whatever and it's fun it's a lot of fun I'm gonna look into that but I was just researching that yesterday it looks cool is it was a good question will is it cruel to keep your dog from meeting company if they're sitting but crying like a madman I don't think it's cruel I think that it's it's appropriate because your dog isn't in the right state of mind to meet new people so I think I think that I would say that it's not cruel you just have to make sure that the owner the other people aren't making it cruel I think the cruel thing would be them going like hey buddy I want to pet you but I can't because your owner won't let you so you just have to make sure that it's it's humane for your for your dog so you just got to make sure that the other people aren't egging your dog on Diana asked what's the best way to introduce e-collar do no puppy what age I've already answered that Diana but I have a video that I recently posted on how I get all my dogs off leashed that I would suggest that with a puppy Labrador how to introduce when's the best way to introduce a prong collar I talk about this all the time on my podcast but as long as the dog understands how to turn things off and and understands the information you're providing them the prong collar is one of the safest tools you could possibly use because it doesn't damage the dog's throat like many other collars and it also gives you the opportunity to correct a dog humanely effectively and efficiently so you don't have to correct the dog over and over again in the future so a lot of people go heal heal heal heal sit sit sit it doesn't work like that that's a really good way to relationship break your relationship when expecting a dog to heal on a walk how do you know when they're needing potty versus other resistance it's a great question I would just make sure that you're working on the break command the break command is invaluable to your training toolbox the break command basically tells the dog and utilizes the ability to say hey you're free go do what you want so making sure if you're out working your dog on a hill that you're also able to then tell the dog break and get them to do what they want it's a great question my Saint Bernard was attacked by another dog and now she's aggressive towards other dogs any tips yeah I would just do the best he can to make that a positive experience in the future so going out and getting around other dogs and and using lots of positive reinforcement so we're you know reward based systems to to but I think the most important thing is is just getting around the right dogs I don't think it's appropriate for you to like put another dog right next to your dog but I think if you go to like a group class or something where there's other dogs that are controlled I think that that would be a good idea I'm gonna take a sip of this you guys are here we have almost 300 people in this chat which I think is like the biggest that we've had ever are here on YouTube so I appreciate you guys so much if you're if you're here and you haven't yet don't forget to like this video and I'm gonna do some more answering in a minute also to again I'm gonna do a giveaway at the end of this video and if you guys haven't heard I'm gonna be in the doing a seminar in the UK in the spring and what we're gonna do with that is we're going to open it up I think we're only gonna do like eight working spots so it's gonna be very limited spots to work but it's gonna be unlimited audit so you guys can come and hang out and we can meet and you know we can do a Q&A and we're gonna film so a lot of it's gonna be on the on the YouTube so it's gonna be a lot of fun so we're gonna be doing that in the UK in the spring hopefully once COVID kind of goes down so I would say that hey Tammy thanks for joining I would say that in this we're gonna open that up and we'll let everybody know via social media so hi from Portugal a friend of mine has a small corgi mix that's literally afraid of everything in fear-based aggression she also knows making territory inside the house what should we do it's a good question I would just go out and just make things more enjoyable I mean I know that that sounds cliche but one of the best things you can do with the dog that's fearful show him that life isn't as as fearful as it is so going out and doing you know things with your dog is the most important thing and making it positive but being a good leader so let's see big bearded Mike it's 4 a.m. we're at on Monday morning you're a savage thank you guys Stephanie okay I have a six month old German Shepherd who's still puppy biting he only does it when I sit down it does hurt but still annoying any tips most important thing is it's just you know correcting the dog so what I do is I just take their their their their all their fluff in the back and I just kind of pull them away what you don't want to do is you don't want to react so you don't want to do this you don't want to pull your hands away because it becomes very prime you know primal I don't know so that's that's like the that's like the process that I that I do is I don't let dogs I don't let dogs do that I don't let dogs like chase my stuff so you just have to make sure you're correcting it and not reacting starting with Casey dogs with Mike he taught me nope I've never met Mike I've worked I referred a couple clients to him though in Kansas City have you ever dealt with a case of I don't even know what that is aggression hey Tom you're in a great thank

appreciate it if your dog bites kids so that that comment keeps coming in if your dog bites kids you just have to correct it make sure your dog is staying away from kids and I would suggest if it's serious I would find a trainer yourself my eight month old great Pyrenees German Shepherd makes eats everything he finds yeah so you know the first thing that I suggest people to people when when they when you find something that that your dog finds everything that they're trying to eat the best thing to do is just like really re-audit your diet if your dog is constantly trying to ingest other things chances are they may have some sort of problem if they're not getting what they want or deficiency Lori how you adjust the prong in the UK just like I do here in the States my anxious GSD goes nuts chasing barking running dogs over the dog park only when I take him with younger dogs you know gene dog parks are really a terrible place for dogs to gain socialization because it creates a lot of bullying a lot of traumatization it's not a great place and I always tell people that the dog park is the dog park is a is a place that it's gonna cause it's gonna cause something something's gonna happen it's not a matter of when it's a matter of no it's not a matter if it's a matter of when so anyway that's the first thing I would say yeah yeah no problem no problem how to keep our our course so from going after our cats well again cat and mouse game guys you just have to make sure that you know you're you're doing the right thing by training your dog off leash if it's gonna be something that's not gonna go away because it's not gonna be safe for your cat and it's not gonna be fair to your cat and it may not even be fair your dog to have him in the same house if you don't have the ultimate control what's the best way to socialize dog with other dogs if the part if the park isn't a good place it's a great question James don't don't feel defeated you just have to you know friends and family and you also have to remember too that like some dogs aren't aren't likely to be friends with other dogs they don't really care to be friends with other dogs they don't care about that dogs are animals and they have enough friends for the most part so just if you're if you're trying to socialize with your dog the best thing to do is maybe like what we do is we we suggest for people to just like friends and family that have dogs that you know that have their shots and aren't aggressive and aren't gonna care into your dog or you know people in the neighborhood your neighbors your community I wouldn't just go to a dog park and just let your dog in because it's just it's very overwhelming for a lot of dogs and then it can create a lot of things in the future that's it's not good what about doggy daycares those are good doggy daycares are good we have one some dogs like him and some dogs don't so you just have to make sure you find a good doggy daycare that is honest with you we have a waiting list on our doggy daycare so like if a dog doesn't like it and if they're not having the time of their life we just simply tell their owners hey this isn't for them maybe go find a dog walker and we try to get another dog again that's gonna love it um some doggy daycares that's right I work in a doggy daycare cool that's awesome Haley all right cool and then I'm gonna answer some more questions here Tom my blue healer was fear aggressive would you recommend a prong collar or e-collar um yeah sure I mean it doesn't I mean I don't want to say it doesn't matter what you use but you just have to make sure that the the dog is understanding what you're asking so you can't just like put something on a dog and just assume that you know like everything's gonna go away you have to teach them and so those are tools to enforce what you're trying to teach it comes from you the collars and the tools that we use are just like a product you have so if we have a screwdriver and we have a screw going into the wood I'm the one that has to put the screwdriver we just don't say hey here's a screwdriver do your work you you are the tool you have to use that tool in order for it to work properly so yes I would suggest those things I've had a lot of success for using the prong collar and the e-collar and a lot of different things I do take advantage of technology advancements and you know as you guys know my training methods are based off of things that work and experience and results that's I'm a big person on results if it works great and I've used almost every single trained style there has been over the last 13 years and that's like the most effective way when I opened up my training facility it was a very organic thing I did a podcast with a couple people and it's called the dog trainers podcast and I go over my entire career of where I was how I started why I started using tools you guys can find that on iTunes that dog trainers podcast and it kind of goes over everything so I would just sorry this little rant there come to singing for I'd love to we're trying to collect as many people as we can that's why I love going live and meeting you guys and is anybody in here from if you guys are from the UK I want you guys to comment down below and let me know and then again we're going to do a giveaway here in a little bit thank you for liking my podcast I appreciate that what do I look for in a dog trainer clarity transparency things that make sense you know we get a lot of people that come into our facility that have worked with other trainers and they just say because we always say you know why didn't it work or something or whatever and they just say it just doesn't make sense the training that they're doing doesn't make sense so it just it has to make sense I would make sure that you it makes sense it makes sense for you so that's the best thing you know obviously looking at reviews social media now is great so if you can if you can see people working with dogs and having good results and having reviews and watching things that's always a good thing to do too when you're looking for a trainer cool awesome Lucy that would be awesome if you can go from Scotland to London yeah we're going to go right outside of London and we're going to do a two-day seminar and I hope to meet everybody and I want to do a Q&A and we're even thinking about doing let drinks or something after so we can all hang out because you know coming from here to there it's gonna be it's gonna be cool I'm really excited about that from the UK yay Michelle what dogs do you own that will and what was your first dog Lola is was like my real first dog of mine and she is here still so she's about 17 years old and then I have a Dutch Shepherd Lakota you guys have probably seen her she's a little black dog in my videos and then I have my St. Bernard Thompson so he's he's an 11 year old St. Bernard cool hi Tom I'm getting a GST how soon can I teach him to do protection without getting any call you don't have to have an e-caller at all to do protection you can do protection right when you get your dog to start building drive just make sure you find the right trainer my dog does not listen to the e-caller well you probably have the wrong e-caller you're not doing it right that's not again you guys like tools aren't these things that you're like put it on you're like work you have to work it if you don't know what you're doing and you don't spend time with the professional introducing these tools they won't work so yeah your dog won't listen to the e-caller unless you do it right hello from India my five month old German chipper puppy gets daily exercise of two hours that's great but still randomly barks at nothing for quite some times what could be the reason not sure you know that could be like a neurological thing it could be your dog is bratty so making sure you're not reacting to that barking so if a dog barks just like conditioning guys like so if we teach a dog to do something and we pay them with something that they're gonna be encouraged to do it in the future you just have to make sure that when you're teaching your dog stuff or when you're working with your dog that if they're barking you're not looking at the dog so if your dog barks you go what's matter what are you barking for stop barking blah like don't do that because you're giving in so the best thing to do with your dogs randomly barking is especially if they're getting enough exercise which they are is make sure that you're not feeding into that okay is it normal for a nine-week-old Australian shepherd to lunge and bite when he is on the leash no that's not normal but he's a nine-week-old dog so he doesn't know anything well so you have to make sure you're the you're the parent you are the parent you are the person in charge you're the person that's gonna sculpt and mold and develop this dog for what they're gonna be in the future if he's doing it at nine weeks I'd hate to see what he does at nine months so just make sure that you take take charge of the situation and you're you're able to correct the dog how long did it take you to train Kota Roman it's a good question if you actually look back me and me and my other trainers look back at Lakota's first training sessions but you guys can find in my earlier videos she was nine weeks old when she basically everything that she does now she was doing at like 12 weeks old so down focused healing place sit down all that stuff she was doing that at at really young she was doing focused healing off leash at nine weeks old why does my dog just sit there and stare at me I have no idea how do I get a German Shepherd puppy to want to play fetch you got to make it fun so put put a long line on a fit on a tug toy so something that has a tug and what I do is I just throw the long line out and the dog goes and chase it and then I bring it back so I build frustration the other thing you can do is get a prey pole go to Amazon and type in like flirt pole or pray pole for dogs and you'll find like basically a cat toy for dogs and then you're able to get the dog you know really into those types of things are corrections good for puppies yes but like you have to realize that correct I think a lot of people don't understand punishment and corrections doesn't mean pain it doesn't mean like you know throw all these equipment on it correcting a dog is what's gonna keep them safe I made a video on that recently with a hound dog about like if you don't if you don't get respect and you don't get engagement from your dog it's life or death so if you care about your dog train your dog make sure they respect you norway what's up mm-hmm we got a pup from a breeder and we feel like she's scared of us touching her I can fix this we give her lots of cuddles well I mean if you're giving her lots of cuddles that could scare her so if your dog was literally you know a dog and a puppy if you're giving her lots of cuddles that's very overwhelming like you got to realize that your dog is an animal so you have to respect your animal and don't overdo it so if you get a new dog that really isn't used to being handled by a lot of people for whatever reason and you're just cuddling this dog like nobody's business that's gonna be that's gonna be scary I would suggest take this the right way I hope treat your dog like a dog and you'll you'll you'll have a happier life with your dog the more you coddle and treat your dog like a baby and you talk to your dog and you say I love you and you're sweet and you're cute and what's wrong that's the best way to ruin your relationship with your dog at an early age period if I wrote a book it would be those three sentences why does my dog howl and bark and lunge when she sees strange other dogs why won't you pay attention to me that during that time you got to teach again you got to teach your dog what to do you got to teach your dog how to how to how to build a relationship with you what is leave it what is heal what is focus again dogs aren't computers or robots you can't go in and do this and just turn everything off you have to make sure that your dog is understanding what you're supposed to be doing how can I help stray animals that are scared or aggressive I'm trying to help the poor little guys out I think food I mean if you get a stray animal food is the best thing I mean if you're trying to like take them away from their situation and provide something better for them you can set up like a trap trap them and then remove them from the situation so they can live a better life um Rebecca that's a good question can you correct your dog 30 minutes after she pees in the house will she understand that she's getting corrected for peeing is it too late blah blah blah high from Israel thank you so much Rebecca I appreciate that it's tough like when a dog pees like you can tell them bad and the thing is is they're gonna cower and they're gonna say I know I've done something bad but a lot of times they don't like match the two up so if you're potty training keep your dog isolated that's why we do like a lot of potty training in the crate and we do a lot of potty training in like an X pen in an area that we can watch the dog so we can punish them if we need to and it doesn't give them the option to roam the house to cause an accident so you don't find it an hour or 30 minutes later so you can't correct it so that's my best advice for that hi from Sweden hi Jessica how are you my German Shepherd six years old we are we have trained with positive training sense and we are eight weeks old we have never had any problems we competed in tracking obedience awesome very glad to hear good for you Danielle ask or Danielle sorry Roddy GSD mix best strategy for using using the E-caller to stop him from barking and strangers coming to the house again guys like you're you have to teach your dog what you want them to do the the E-caller is just an enforcer so again screwdriver screw wood you have to use that tool in order to do it you just have to make sure that you're teaching the dog what leave it means teaching the dog what heal means and all that stuff and the colors and the equipment they're using is just an enforcer I think that that's where everyone gets like the situation confused this is just an enforcer it's not you know this thing that you just put on in it just what's up Lisa let's see whoa what should I teach my puppy first I answered that earlier you guys can check that out my GSD is four months old she will not stop jumping on strangers I checked that out too I answered that earlier do you have any Michelle asked Tom do you have any advice on helping an Amish puppy mill St. Bernard who those are tough who is breeding who's a breeding dog she wants no food no interest in other dogs totally yeah it's those dogs are really tough so those are some of the hardest behavioral cases I've ever worked with the Amish breeding dogs because they yeah they just unfortunately I think they just pump them out for money and they don't socialize them and they're usually afraid of men with beards like me go figure so the best thing to do just give it time lots of exercise so exercise you know just that's the best thing to do exercise and you know try to do best they can like maybe get some chicken some white white meat chicken maybe some non-season steak and just do the best you can to say like hey like let's play and just get him engaged because the dog has been so long not doing anything the dog literally has been like just used as you know just used I mean so the dog isn't engaged with anything they don't understand how to be a dog and you have to teach him that so you just have to get creative and like if your dog isn't motivated by food but what food are you using are using cable mmm try to like pump it up a notch and just do the best you can to like really get the dog motivated and just bring the dog out for exercise like I always say like worse comes to worse if your dog isn't like feeling happy or you know whatever just bring him for a walk get him out into nature they'll be happy let's see is there a good way to train your puppy that takes rides in your vehicle without crying um yeah the crate is a good thing for dogs if they're not good in the car by the way 326 people in here that's like a record for me I'm so grateful for that 328 if you guys are here like this video we're going to do a giveaway I'm doing this in appreciation for you guys because I didn't post some videos this week and we're going to do this again in the future I appreciate you guys very much so that's why I'm doing this it's just my gratuity and my my feedback to you guys I'm just doing the best I can here with all these questions you guys from all over the world it's really fun but as far as the puppy in the crate just make sure you're not adding on to the stress so your dog's whining and you're going it's okay what's wrong don't do that just ignore it maybe a maybe um get the dog into the crate if your dog is food motivated put your dog in the car in the crate and feed them in the car without it moving to desensitize getting into the car so just do the best you can to desensitize and get really creative to say how can I make the car a good place for my dog so do the best you can to like just put the dog in the car desensitize it motivate him all that stuff so you're doing an amazing job thank you thank you so much that means the world please help not many dogs in Zimbabwe my dog is super friendly but with dogs won't stop barking when he sees other dogs walking okay so here's what I would suggest really quickly get yourself one of these slip collars and go out and work on your heel and work on your leave it and use this as an enforcer I have a DIY training collar video on how to make this exact collar and you're just gonna work on engagement you're gonna work with food motivation get your dog to look at you get your dog engaged with you and that's what I would start off with work on leave it work on heel micro macro work inside first and then train your dog outside after hope that helps Dan how do I get my boxer calm so I can train him slip collars a good way so the dog is going all over a filing if firing on off all cylinders and all that stuff the best thing to do is just use a leash and just say hey well we'll calm down because the dog is gonna keep firing up firing up correct the dog say calm down dogs don't speak English so with kids we say hey calm down you need to calm down or I'm gonna do this I'm gonna take away your iPhone I'm gonna take away your iPad no cartoons whatever and then the child calms down right we're using some sort of consequence and adding positive punishment to the mix or negative punishment to take something away so the best thing to do when you get an uncontrolled dog is add something to the mix that's gonna help or remove something that's that's gonna help how can I train my dog to not react when cars again train your dog to tend to leave it yeah dominant dog collars are great too that's that's what I've been talking about this whole time Robin's a slip collar that's another word for it our vibration collars as good as the stimulation collars are stimulation collars are illegal in my country yeah if it's illegal then heck yeah it's better than nothing if you can reach out and communicate and touch your dog from a half a mile away it's better than not being able to so for sure but I just find that the vibration collars are really aversive they're very corrective compared to the stimulation collars that I use so we have two puppies any tips on training them at the same time again since they're around each other at the same a David good question train them separately right so train one puppy over here one puppy over here and then train them on all the basics and then bring them together because you're gonna lose your mind trying to train two puppies at the same time so I take my puppy Scott ass I take my puppies outside to the potty and I let them pull in the leash to explore is that counter no absolutely not it's a great question Scott just say break market make it on your terms that's all same thing with my dogs like if I bring my dogs out for a walk I don't care if they pull me the whole time I have the ability to turn out training starts when you start so when you ask your dog to do something that's when it starts if your dogs are pulling it doesn't mean they're not trained that means you're allowing them to do that just like with human behavior we're not always certain way for certain things you just have to make sure that you're you know you're you're you're marking it saying good you know break or whatever so anyway so I just wanted to say thank you guys for joining me if you haven't yet like this video we
