 What's going on guys? Tom Davis here, America's Canaan Educator. Thank you so much for joining me today and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel right here on YouTube. You guys, today we have a young golden retriever coming in. The owners can't even walk this dog anywhere. The dog is a little over a year. He's a beautiful dog. The family is so great to work with. We are working on leash pulling, jumping on people, being reactive to other dogs, just one of the most overly friendly dogs I've ever worked with, as well as one of the only dogs. Actually, the only dog is actually played with our fake dog. As you guys have seen on my other videos, he actually played with this dog that is not even real for about 20 minutes, which is hysterical. Now, before we get into this video guys, we were so close last time to hitting the 24 hour challenge, which is 2,000 likes in 24 hours and then I'll go live and answer your dog training questions. So, let's try to do it right now guys. If you're watching this, hit that like button right now. If I get 2,000 likes within 24 hours, I'll go live this weekend, next weekend, somewhere during the week, whatever. I'm going to go live and answer your dog training questions. Also, don't forget to subscribe to my channel, cop yourself some no bad dog merch and let's get into the video. Nice. Oh my goodness. So, just to recap really quick, all the basics are pretty good inside, but as soon as we go outside and as soon as we go outside of the house or the yard, everything kind of goes out the window. Okay. Nice to meet you too, buddy. Yeah, okay, okay. So, do you feel like, so with the harness, it's a, do you feel like it, do you feel like it chokes him or do you feel like, yeah, I can, I heard that earlier too. Do you feel like he, he knows he'll, so when we're in our yard and we're practicing it and he's engaged and he's looking at me and it's just him and I, he will do it. Okay, okay. When we go out and his head is another way, boop. You gotta ask me like five times because I really want to do something else. Okay, I'm going to get a distraction now. I'm going to get a dog out that every single dog reacts to, every single dog goes crazy too. Super calm dog. I'll get him out really quick and then I'll grab some equipment and see what's going to work best for him. So for me, it's really case by case, dog by dog, owner by owner. So we'll get some, we'll get some couple different things out to see what's going to work best for you guys, what you guys are comfortable with and what works best for him. And then we'll go from there. So this is what you guys are normally dealing with, right? Yeah. Typical goldens, right? Oh my goodness. So we'll probably, because he's so big and strong, we'll probably not go to a slip because that won't be safe. We'll probably just switch to a Hermespringer prong. Obviously this harness isn't going to work for you guys. I could get out some treats and maneuver him around, but that's only going to go so far because then it becomes a currency game. I tried that long enough with certain dogs to try to use just a harness and use a gentle eater, but the problem I found over time and time and time and time again with the clients that I was working with because it was, it was, it was something that I was like, Hey, let's try this and see if this works for you. Was simply that it became a currency game. So as soon as the dog actually had a different currency, so this dog, this dog is going to be a higher currency than the food that we would provide. And as soon as the food goes away, the dog doesn't sustainably understand what we're asking him or her to do. And I, and I tried that for a long time and I've always used all sorts of different types of tools ever since I've started working with dogs. But like we were saying with other dogs, I started off as a dog walker and all of the dogs that I worked with, literally hundreds of weeks. It was before I even trained dogs. I really dreaded this type of setup because my back is actually messed up now. I have to go to chiropractic therapy. I had, I had, I had two since I was 25 years old, mainly because of that. So I don't, I want you guys to be able to bring him for a walk with the family and enjoy him. And I also want him to just understand the rules and regulations just like with kids, you guys know, I don't have to tell you. Dogs just like kids and kids just like dogs need structure, guidance, leadership, boundaries. And if not, it's going to be a tough time. Couple of things that we're going to do even before we, we, we teach Heal is he has to understand the pressure. There's a lot of different ways to use training tools off. Good. Off. So he jumps up on me. I corrected him and then he did it a little bit after and I sat off and then he sat sit off. Good. Off. Good. Good. Good boy. Good. So you guys saw that correction. So that punishment right there was precise. He didn't squeal. He didn't go, Oh my God. This is terrible. He just goes, Hey, that was a little uncomfortable and I did it quick and it just gets his attention and it disrupts what he's doing. Crew Heal. Come on. Good boy. So just, it just gets his attention. Yep. That's it. It's an, it's a communication tool. Heal. Heal. So it's important that you guys see those corrections because a lot of people think it's like this. It's not. He's just like, Hey, what do you want this way? Crew. Come. Yes. Good boy. Good job. Crew. Little pressure. Come. I want you guys to watch his mental. Watch his mental. Crew. Come. Pressure. Good. Come. Marking it. Crew. Come. Yes. Good. Come. Here's the test towards you guys. Crew. Come. Yes. Good boy. Well done. See. So he made the mental decision to say, You know what, man? I'm going to go with you. So I'm not doing this anymore. He just said, Yeah, I'm going to go with you. So that's a top behavior. You understand? Crew. Come. Yes, buddy. Good job. Lots of positive reinforcement. Crew. Come. Yes. Good man. Well done, buddy. Good boy. Good boy. We'll see if we'll jump. Good. Normally he'd jump, right? No jumping. Why? Because dogs have the ability to cognitively remember punishment just like kids. Last time I did this, my iPhone got taken away. I'm not doing that anymore. And we helped them mold like, Yeah, man, I don't want you run across the parking lot. You're going to get hurt. I love you. Therefore, I care. Therefore, I'm going to punish you for something that could potentially end up hurting you. Of course, what I like to do is now just give him a little bit of reward. And I have little tiny pieces of treat. So I'm just going to do the same thing. I'm just going to implement maybe a little bit of food. I'm not going to be pes dispensing because then I don't know if he's learning or not. So he'll crew. He'll good. He'll good job, crew. Good crew. He'll well done, big man. He'll. Yes. You see that turn? I was brilliant. Very good. Well done. Now I can feed them. Yep. Crew sit. Yes. Good. Calm. No jumping. He's not in my face. He's not. I'm just like, Hey, man, good job. So I just went four or five times. I said, Hey, let's go this way. He said, Yep, sure. Hey, let's go. And it's all verbal. I didn't have to use the collar at all. I just said, Hey, let's do this. Let's do that. And he did wonderful. So again, when we talk about is the collar suppressing his behavior where he's like, man, I really want to go there. Absolutely not. I just I turn and I say crew here is like, Sure, no problem. I got it because you taught me. And I go the other way. And he's like, Yep, sure. And then after four or five times, he sits and he's like, Okay, bam. And he gets paid. And he's like, Yes. Heck yeah. Alright, you guys want to try? Go ahead. And then a little pop. Yep. Perfect. Good turn again. Good heel. Make sure you reward him. Good heel. So when he turns, you see that turn? That's when you reward him. Okay, we'll do a couple laps with you. At this point, I have no idea. You just got to stop a long truck. Alright, guys, so I grabbed the coda and we're going to see how he does with her. The other thing you can do is like redirect this way. He'll good heel, good heel. He'll remember we talked about like reward based systems. So we come around to her. Sit. There you go. Good heel. Make sure you praise him lots for that. Good heel. Back again. Good. Nice. She's no, you're good. Just let him be a dog. And once this dog comes through and walks and he just watches. Yes. So this is the test that we like, even if he gets up, just put him back into a sit. But remember, we talked about suppression versus actually modifying. So watch. Yep. Do I say anything beforehand or not? Nope. You can just say good sit. But try to be neutral with it. Not like too rewarding because then he might get up. That's where you'd pay him. So you get two dogs. This is actual proof that he's actually sitting there and he's making a better decision based off of the training that we've done. And now you can actually have a dog and yeah, be a human being and that's where you get lots of payment. Very, very good. What'd you guys think of that? Very good. Very good. Guys, here comes a very wild Lakota. Oh, good girl. Alright, so great video guys. Really great progression. And more importantly, the owners are now going to be able to enjoy the dog that they have. For the longest time, they literally couldn't bring the dog anywhere because he was pulling all over the freaking place. And it was just really frustrating for him. So really great progress.
