 Hello everybody and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel right here on YouTube. This is Lakota and I am Tom Davis. So nice to have you on. Today we're going to be talking about the discussion of when should you stop training your dog. And we're also going to be doing a Q&A and we're also going to be doing a giveaway at the end of this video once it goes live. Can you go grab the stickers that are in the DeWalt bag on the stairs please? I'm going to show you guys some of the stickers we're going to be giving away. Lakota is here, she's having a good time. Thank you guys for joining me here live. If you haven't yet, don't forget, come in here, hit the like button. If you're watching this after, hit the like button as well. Thank you guys for joining me. So I've done, first and foremost, I've done an extraordinary amount of online sessions. I did five today, six yesterday. I recorded two podcasts with some great guests coming up. And we've just been crazy, crazy, crazy. So I appreciate you guys hopping on here live. And here is the No Bad Dog stickers we're going to be giving away once this video is published. So if you guys want to win some of these, we're going to be giving three of these away. So stick tuned for how to do that. They're pretty cool actually. I have them on pretty much everything. So going back to what I was saying about the online sessions, I've really, really been talking to a lot of dog owners from, from a lot of different places all over the world. And what I've been seeing is the majority of dog owners are not continuing to train their dogs once their dogs have taught, have learned new behaviors. So say you teach your dog how to sit, he'll say anything, literally teach your dog anything. I find that a lot of people are falling off of that training. They're falling off, they're plateauing. And one thing I want to, I want dog owners to consider when they're working on new behaviors is the simple fact that, you know, dogs are the way that they learn and the way that they are able to have the cognitiveity to remember things and to capture things and all that stuff is, is, is really dependent on how much Taylor, can you please stop banging literally everything in there, please? Sorry about that. Their ability to remember things has a lot to do with dog owners continuing to practice them. So just like with people, you know, it's really, it's really critical for you to continue to train not forever but condition. So stay in conditions, stay in shape with your dog. It's much like if you guys got into the, the, the peak state of, of your, of your health or your exercise or whatever it may be, you got to that peak level of wherever you wanted to be in life and then you just stopped doing whatever you did to get there. You're going to, you're going to go back down. And so that's one thing I've been noticing out of all the dog trainers I've been working with over the last couple of weeks. And it's also something I've never really talked about here on the channel. So that's what I wanted to bring to the table today is to just tell you guys, tell you guys like, don't plateau if you're having problems with your dog or things are getting worse or things aren't progressing, you got to audit how much work you're doing and how responsible you are being as a dog owner to retain that information. Hello, Megan. So that's kind of the topic of discussion today to just remember dogs aren't going to learn something and then keep it forever. It's not going to be as sustainable as you would think. It's not a computer. It's not programmed and it's set in. It's there. They remember it. It's fresh and you want to keep it fresh. You want to continue to make that something that your dog is constantly working on. So making sure that you're using your dog training and your obedience as much as you possibly can over time to continue to keep it fresh and to continue to keep it right there and making sure that you're doing that. So anyway, that's just a simple reminder today of the topic I wanted to discuss, to remember to do that. And now we're going to get into some dog training questions and I will answer these until you guys stop asking them. And then at the end, we're going to be giving away some stuff. If you guys are here, go ahead and like this video and let's get into some... No, I'm not frustrated. I'm definitely tired but quarantining, it's tough. So I'm always picking on Taylor because I've been doing podcasts and online sessions and it's hard to hear sometimes. And so it's hard to be quiet and just a joke. It's quarantine life. Let's start with some questions, guys. So Becky asked, is it okay to use a choke chain for aggressive behavior? That's a good question. It's probably a safer bet to use on aggressive behavior if the dog is actually aggressive. Now, I talk a lot about aggression versus reaction or reactivity. That plays a really big role in how you address the situation, which means... So some trainers will say and I work with a lot of different people who work with different trainers and they say, you know, my trainer said never correct a dog with a prong collar if they're being aggressive. And I would say nine times out of 10, aggression is misdiagnosed or I'm sorry, reactivity is misdiagnosed with aggression, which people get a dog that's reactive and don't know what to do on the leash and they become frustrated and it's automatically deemed aggressive. And in that manner, no, you wouldn't want to take a dog that actually has the intentions to hurt another dog and correct them physically because that's where you're going to get redirection. That's like a rule number one to working with dogs like that on the leash. But if you're working with a dog that is really aggressive and wants to hurt other dogs, the choke collar or the slip collar is probably a little bit safer because it doesn't really put in a lot of physical aversive. It just makes it uncomfortable over time and it kind of just snaps their attention. But whenever you're using some sort of aversive tool physically, which I mean if you're using a prong collar, harness, gentle leader, whatever the heck you're using and the dog is exploding at the end of the leash and you're poking that bare physically, like actually physically tugging on the dog, you're always going to be more exposed to potentially, I should just tape this to my face. You're always going to be more exposed to a dog redirecting on you and making the situation worse. So I would say that the slip collar or the dominant dog collar or the choke collars is the safer bet to use as far as collars go with that. So Amber asked, I see you slipping from prong to slip sometimes. Is this why? Yeah, that's why. Usually in a lot of times I predominantly use tools to reinforce. Mainly the reason why I use tools guys, especially slip collars, prong collars, collars that are physicality based are going to be used because of the ability of the dog owner that I'm transferring them to. So I'm using equipment because I know that the dog owner isn't a professional handler and is going to need a little bit more assistance handling the dog on the leash. So that's the general rule of why I switch collars around is for the control and the comfort of the dog as well as the control and comfort and the ability of the dog handler itself. So that's a pretty good question. Yes, that's right Nancy. Cool, Daniel, happy that it was nice to meet you guys. Hi Tom, I'm a big fan of your work with dogs. I have a god aggressive dog. I don't know what that means. I've tried a couple of different things, but I get nowhere. Is there any way I can get ahold of you email or phone? Yeah, Adam, you can email me at canineeducator.com and we can work online. I get that question every day. If you guys follow me on Instagram, you'll notice that it's getting kind of frustrating. I'm getting hundreds of direct messages on Instagram of people asking for help and begging for help because of them being stuck home with their dog. And I can't stress enough like my schedule is so busy right now with online. There's a link in the description right below right now that you guys can check out to work with me directly just like this face to face. Is it okay to train your dog to foos before you use heel? Well, foos is just a German word for heel, the majority of time. So you can do one of the other. It just depends on what you're training for. Usually German commands are used by German handlers and or a dog that's going to be working in a German sport such as Schützen for competitive. Hello, what if my puppy doesn't want to walk on the leash, barely introduced her to the leash? We have to realize that a puppy has been free their entire life. So when you introduce a leash or you introduce that pressure, they buck and they freak out like some sort of wild mosquito gone wild at summer camp. So you have to just, I don't know where that came from. But you have to just make sure that you're understanding that your dog is going to freak out on the leash simply because they've never worn a leash. And so you just have to be patient with it and try to just get over that hump. And it's going to take a couple of days if not a week for the dog to get over that. So it's very common for those things to happen. We have over 110 people here. We have almost 50 likes. If you guys do me a favor and just like the video really quick. Taylor is eating tacos. She said I can't show her, but she's eating homemade tacos. I'll show you anyway. Just kidding. She's doing this. All right. Yeah, I don't know where that mosquito thing came from. Hello, Sean. How are you doing, ma'am? Thanks, Brooke. How do you train dogs to keep focused? Alan Davis asked. I think maybe you're talking about how to get a dog to look at your face. You just teach them that with food. So say this is food, you teach them here. So you watch them here and you pay them for that continual focus. Just take whatever they really like. Focus them on where you want them to focus and then doing that. Let's see. Olivia asked. Hi, Tom. My dog growls and lies with his belly up wagging his tail at the same time when someone is trying to pet him. Why is that? He's rescued. I've seen that happen a couple of different times where dogs try to set people up by showing their bellies and growling at them. It's a very mysterious, weird thing that's kind of uncommon. But some dogs are just vocal. So you have to distinguish the difference between your dog just being talkative and vocal versus them actually growling. Historically, dogs that are actually growling have a problem with something or insecure or mad or upset about something. So they're not going to be on their back exposing their belly to death if they're actually upset. So I would make sure you're distinguishing the difference between growling and talking just because the dog is vocal doesn't mean that they're upset or mean. Becky asked, my dog is going to be put down a few bites again and has attacked me a lot multiple times. Find a trainer. You're dealing with something that is the difference between life and death in your dog and you're just going to have to invest a little bit of time into a trainer. There's not much anybody else can do over the internet to get you out of that situation except just finding the right trainer for you to help. Christina asked, what kind of coffee do you like? Honestly, as you guys know, I travel a lot. Oh, and by the way, I got some updates on some seminars that we're doing that just kind of came up. But anyway, when I travel, like doing dog stuff, I like to do anything local. So I like light coffee for the majority of times because it has more caffeine. But I also have been getting recently into some dark coffee, but we have an espresso maker here that we drank at Nespresso a lot in Europe. So that's pretty much what I drink every day. But I really like to go to local coffee shops when I'm traveling or just in the area just to get their local roast. So let's see. A nine-month-old German shepherd, good when at family or friends' house, but when the same people come over, he's like Kujo. Create him, correct him, really want to outgrow this. Well, you just have to realize that if your dog is okay with people everywhere but your house, your house is that identifying trigger that makes your dog act a certain way. So that's the first thing you have to really focus on is why that's happening. It's probably a protective issue. So I would be working on the place command. I think the majority of like when I get these questions, use your leash on in the house. Correct him when he's being a jerk and trying to go after other people. Don't be afraid to use your leash and collar in the house to tell him what he's doing is wrong as well as doing some counter conditioning obedience as well. So teaching him how to go to his place so he's not so protective over the door as well as telling him to leave it when he does act like a crazy person. What time is it where I am? I don't know, eight o'clock. Let's see. What are your opinions on raising a working dog in college? I like to get a Corso in college and train him for obedience. I'm very active. I think it's great as long as you have the time. There's nothing, I mean working dogs like structure more than anything and like discipline and like create and rotate and stuff. So I honestly think that working dogs are probably a better option for people who have a strict schedule because they're okay with it when they're out, they're working versus a pet wanting to lay on the couch and taking it personally. So I think that you're okay as long as you have the time and the patience and the ability to train. Let's see. My dog startles if you walk in the room when he's sleeping, he will run and bark at the person until he realizes he's a family member. How can I correct this? Well, I don't really try to correct like those types of things. Some people will ask me, I stepped on my dog and he bit me. What do I do? What I would start doing when you go into the room is just alerting the dog that you're going into the room and trying to wake them up because I personally wouldn't like, I would tell the dog, hey, knock it off, but I wouldn't work on a sequence to really punish the dog for doing something like that if they are, if it's very like, if they're scared. I never would like correct a dog if they're scared. But Jenny asked, how do you discourage humping? My dog is neutered. The real question is, guys, you're going to find a loop here is, what are you doing to stop it? So what are you actually doing to stop it? If your dog is doing something that you don't like, you can't just sit there and say no and grab their flat collar and pull them down because that doesn't do anything. You have to make sure that when you're correcting a dog and you're giving them some sort of punishment that it's something that they don't like. They don't want to do it again. And then that way the next time when you say, hey, off, they're going to go, oh, sorry, and they're going to get off. So the real question is, what are you doing about it to stop the behavior? Mark says, I watched your videos about a month ago. It's helped me a lot. Great, man. I'm so happy for you. Thank you for watching. He's currently on a prong collar. Can I start him on an E-collar and which one to use? For those of you who don't know, I use primarily Dogtra. Dogtra brands are my go-to collars for E-collars. You can start E-collar training as long as your dog knows the behaviors you're asking them to do because the remote collar is going to be used to reinforce behaviors and not necessarily teach behaviors. So if your basics are good and you want to take it a step further and go off leash, you can start remote collar training. You can also use my discount code at NBD10, which is NoBadDogs10, NBD10 on Dogtra.com and receive $10 off your purchase. Let's see. What else we got? Is an E-collar good to use for training for akitas? It's good for any dog. I've never had a dog that didn't respond good to that. What are some confidence-building exercises besides agility? A confidence-building anything. Teach them anything. Literally teaching your dog. Koda, come here. Come here, sweetie. Koda. Just food over there. Touch. So just teaching your dog, like, Koda, food, touch. Teaching your dog, she's a food monster and there's food going on. Teaching your dog to touch on something and, okay, break. Teaching your dog to literally do something different will teach them confidence because it teaches them something new. So just literally teach them anything fun, anything around the house during quarantine is great. There's 120 people here just love hearing you crinkle the chip bag in their face. What are your top toys and gears? I really like tug toys. As far as brands go, canine tactical makes good stuff. I haven't bought anything new for a while because, honestly, I get a lot of packages of different tugs and stuff to try, but I love 12-inch tug toys. Those are my go-to and then I love balls on the rope, on the string. Those are nice. Laura asked, do you think poking the side of the dog is a type of punishment? Not really. It's aversive, but I don't think it's punishment. I think it's just a good way to get the dog's attention because sometimes when dogs like season Milan is infamously bashed on for getting the dog's attention by doing that, and it's really natural. I've done it many times without even knowing I've done it. I've watched it in videos. I'm like, I don't even remember doing that. So if a dog's loaded on something and you just poke their back end, it gives you an opportunity to disengage the dog. So I wouldn't necessarily say it was punishment. I would say it's more of like a redirective method. Wow, I'm going through a lot here. I'm just going to take some sip of water. If you guys are here, go ahead and like this video. If you're watching this after, we're going to do a no-bad-dog sticker giveaway here in a little bit. Okay, cool. Thanks for the likes. Oh, and by the way, so some people watch this video after it's posted and they're like, stop saying like the video. It's repetitive. I'm always saying that because this is live. And so when I'm watching the live people come in, that's what I'm doing. It's just part of my show here. So anyway, Timmy Tommy asks, what brand of slip collar do you recommend? My one always moves down. I have, if you search on my YouTube channel right now, you'll find DIY slip collar. It tells you exactly how to make your own slip collar and you can actually fit it perfect. And it allows you to make it fit exactly the way that you want to. So, Volkfire asks, how do I train my nine-month-old German shepherd to stop jumping when he gets excited? He knows basic commands to learn them easy. Again, it's the same thing. You're going to notice this loop. I'm going to keep answering this the same way. You have to correct it when it happens. So if a dog comes up and it's constant and you know it's going to happen, if somebody comes into the house and they get overly stimulated or they get excited, put a leash on and correct them when they come up, tell them off. And when they're calmed down, have that person reward them with attention after. So again, it's really about what are you doing to correct the behavior when it happens? Do you ship to the UK, me and Sage want one of your training leashes? Yes. The man with the plan or the girl with the plan answered. Yes, we do. I think we ship worldwide. Wow, there's a lot of questions. My service dog likes running around while I sleep. Okay. How do you stop unwanted vocalization? It just depends on what it is. If it's whining, it's probably anxiety. So you have to work on building the dog's confidence in that environment by giving them something to do, maybe a place command. Geez. Jason, I haven't used box feeding for fearful reactive dogs. I don't even know what that is. I think I do. But if you want to leave it in the comments below, I've never done box feeding. Geez. My dog is aggressive when people guard his bed. My dog is aggressive when people and guards his bed. What can I do? It's really frustrating. I would get a Pamela or Pam eat. I would get a long line and just when he's like on his bed area and he does that, work on it and use your long line to correct him from a distance. So 15 feet away, he's guarding the bed and just give him a little pressure on the collar to just say, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Leave it pop. Leave it pop. Okay, cool. Let's see. Are you still doing the Cleveland show, Abby? I am not. Unfortunately, I hate to say that I'm not. It's canceled. We're refunding everybody, of course, and we're rebooking it for the fall. Now, the reason why that is is because we're almost a month out and it's still really locked down both here and in Ohio. And I just don't, I don't want to have any restrictions. I haven't been able to really push the event. So yes, unfortunately it is canceled. We just made that decision today. However, we are rebooking it for the fall and we're also possibly booking something in Wyoming, which I'm really excited about. We're going to do a two-day remote collar off leash seminar for everyone who lives in Wyoming and works with their dog off leash at farms and ranches and stuff like that. It's not confirmed. I just got the idea today and I've been working with one of my clients who works out there. So anyway, we're going to do something like that, hopefully in Wyoming this year. How do you use an e-collar to correct a dog who constantly jumps at the back door to come in? Well, it's hard, Brian, because for me, I don't know. You can use the pager to vibrate if they do that, I guess. But for me, it's just like my dog does it. Like she jumps up at the back door, but I know she's not doing it to be malicious. She's only doing it because she's telling me like, hey, I'm ready to come in. So I would say you can use the pager if it's something that they're habitually doing over and over again. And you think it's just them being kind of annoying. But anyway, Christina asks, how do you introduce a dog and a newborn baby? Ooh, that's a good question. I'm going to take my time on this one. So wow, I feel like I'm just like speed reading through these things. I hope I'm answering the questions in a benefit to you guys. How to introduce a newborn baby to a dog? Well, it's a really good question. I always say that you know your dog. You know what your dog is capable of. You've known your dog, hopefully, for a good amount of time where you trust them. And honestly, in my experience, even some of the most human aggressive dogs that I've worked with, I've never in my career had an issue with a dog and a baby. That's not to say it doesn't happen. That's certainly not to say that my professional advice is not worry about it by any means. But it's very rare that dogs in my, from what I've experienced, have problems with babies. Dogs are very innate to women's pregnancies. So if you're talking about a dog that lives with the individual that is pregnant, that then has the baby, they're very intuitive to that. And they are extremely innate to that. They really cling on to know what's going on naturally. And then when the baby comes home, they typically know. So it's a really bizarre thing, in my opinion. But the best thing to do to play it safe is bring a fake baby around. So literally, take a fake baby around, rock it, do everything that you would do with the newborn, and start introducing that routine with your dog. And then making sure you have good obedience with your dog. I mean, literally, I can't stress that enough. Making sure you can control your dog on leash and off leash when you're bringing a child into the house. It's unbelievably important. If you don't have good control over your dog and you bring a baby in, you're not only letting your dog down, but you're potentially letting everybody down. But get a little fake baby and start doing that routine of carrying and holding the baby and teaching the dog obedience with this baby. But I always tell people to make sure that the dog never actually sees the fake baby because then it kind of blows the cover and then it's not really that beneficial. So Eric, good question, by the way. Thank you for asking that. How do you move? This is fun because I get to sharpen on all my skills as an educator because I'm like rapid fire. How do you move from prong to flat collar to off leash training? Progression, practice, and increments. And the big thing, again, when we are using tools that I can't stress enough is your tools are your reinforcements. So your voice is what should be actually getting the dog from point A to point B and teaching them new things. And that's a really great question. But practice and increments, you can use your tools for a lifetime because it's more about what other people are going to do to you and your dog versus you. I had a client today say, when can I move off of the equipment? And I just tell people, you can move off the equipment whenever you want. But at the same time, it's like, when can you not wear a seat belt? You're a good driver. The person in the car is a good driver. But you really never know what's going to happen around you. So I always tell people, even if you don't need the tools because your dog is healing and recalling really nicely, it's still really nice to have just in case that other person goes completely berserk on your training and blows it. So anyway, so a lot of vocalization, making sure your marking behaviors and so on and so forth. The hawk warrior, what is your favorite dog training books and online seminars? That's a good question. I answer this question a lot. I really don't read a lot of dog training books. Everything that I've done in my career has been all natural, if you will. I don't find that reading books on animals helps you in person. It's really just hands on experience stuff. I know that there's way better answers and there's people who can recommend greatly great books. If you guys want to do that in the comments, that would be helpful. But I really don't get into a lot of reading. I'm a hands on type of person. That's how I learned, but that's just me. Let's see. I have a three year old healer mix who is okay with other dogs when I'm not around, but as soon as I am, he instantly becomes dog aggressive. Well, that's a you problem. You're the trigger. So why am I the trigger? How do you train this? Again, just correcting the behavior when it happens. You have, Cori, when dogs are reactive because of your presence, that typically means that they are protecting you and they're protecting you because they don't feel confidence in you. They feel like you don't know what you're doing. They feel like you are not in control. And that's something that you have to work on with your relationship with your dog, as well as making sure that you're handling it on the leash. So putting him on the leash and if he's reacting to other dogs, making sure you're correcting the behavior you don't like. That's all. Tips on dealing with difficult owners when working with them. I've answered this question before too. And it's really about like for me, every dog training facility is different. And we have four different full-time dog trainers at the facility at the Upstate Canine Academy. And we're really different about how we do things. We don't advertise that that much. We kind of put the proof in the pudding and we tell people right off the bat, like, hey, this is going to be all you. It's not going to be us. Our job is to coach you through the process and just having real client, real clear consultations before they sign up and pay you to let them know, like, this is all going to be you. You're hiring me. You're trusting me. I appreciate that. I'm grateful for that. But you know, you are going to have to put in the work to make sure that this is successful. And for me, it's just, it's all about being realistic to the dog owners and letting them know that the success is going to rely on them and you're going to be coaching them. And if they decide not to follow your rules and guidelines as a professional, then they're going to be not as successful as they would hope. So that's how I, that's how I do it. The Netherlands, I want to go there. Oh, geez, there's so many questions. All right, Jason, I'll try to get to this one. How do you address whining when they're on a place but working on another dog? He's anxious and always wants to be involved, correct? Yeah, probably if you're working another dog around that dog, they become anxious because they want to work. Try to do your best to ignore the behavior and not acknowledge it because the dog wants you to acknowledge them. That's why they're whining. They're like, hey, me too, me too, me too. So if you ignore it, it might get better. But you can also like, I've also corrected dogs like, hey, leave it, you know, give them a vocal voice inflection to just tell them to knock it off. So trying to do that verbal correction as well. Jacob, hey, Tom, I'm a college student in California and run a dog rescue. I love training my personal dog and our rescues. Are there any training certifications worth pursuing or other ways to gain experience? Good question. I should probably make like a real produced video on this. California. I would recommend Michael Ellis's school in Santa Rosa. Really, we had this. So I did a podcast today with Lynn Boeke. For those of you who don't know, he is a dog behaviorist, a dog psychologist. He started off working with Susan Milan very early off before he had the Dog Whisper Show. And he's really just, you know, he's been doing this a really long time. We had a great conversation that'll be up probably this weekend. And, you know, we had a really good conversation about dog certifications and stuff like that. And really what you want to do when you're starting off with dog training is just finding what you want. There's so many flavors and so many different categories and compartments of dog training. It's not, it doesn't all fall under one thing. So what I would do is figure out what you want to do. Service dog training, behavior modification, obedience, agility, dock diving, figure out what you want to do in long term and then find a business that's doing that and offer your services for free and see if you can get to work there and shadow and get into the business and see how you can better your skills that way. I know for us, you know, when somebody says, hey, I want to come shadow and volunteer, it's really beneficial for us and you also get to learn. So we're not doing that, by the way, right now. We're completely full. Can you or one of your trainers evaluate for CGC over video conferencing? That's a good question. I would say no, but I would look at the AKC's maybe new laws about that, but I would say no. Okay, she has a lot of questions. Can you give advice on finding the good local trainer? Questions to ask, especially for reactive dogs. That's a great question. Really good question. I'm so glad you asked that. Thank you. Yeah, so for me, I tell people this, you know, the dog training industry is so wide, so big. People don't realize that that. So say you're at home and your dog bites somebody out of out of nowhere, you're going to say I need a dog trainer and you're going to Google dog training near me and you may find a dog trainer that does not do behavior modification isn't comfortable with behavior modification, but they won't tell you that because that's not their prerogative. Unfortunately, it's just the plain damn truth with the dog training industry. You know, like for me, I turned down obedience training for the most part because it's not something I live for. It's not my passion. I love behavior modification and helping dogs relationship with their owners. So I would be making sure you're reading the reviews and asking them, you know, what they're comfortable with. Do they have any trainers that work specifically with obedience? Do they have any trainers that work specifically on what you're working on? And honestly, like reading the reviews, I mean, read between the lines. I mean, we have, I don't know, like 105 star reviews and we have like two or three one star reviews from people just not liking our policies or finding me online and not liking the tools I use and things like that. So obviously read between the lines, there's always going to be businesses with negative reviews because that's life. But yeah, reading the reviews from other people, other clients, and then even then just making sure that the person is comfortable working with what you're dealing with because not all dog trainers are scalable to work on everything. But unfortunately, many dog trainers open and think that they can, as well as many dog owners think that they can. And we talked about that today in the podcast that there's a lot of dogs being euthanized, especially in the United States, because there's dog training companies popping up everywhere. And people don't realize that there's specialty businesses. You know, like for me, I'm a specialist in behavior. I'm a specialist in building better relationships. I don't fancy myself in obedience. If you want to work on obedience, you can work with one of my other trainers. So it's a great question. But all those things I would be taking into consideration that your exact problem that you're dealing with should be comfortable with their staff and going over that with them and go with your instincts. That was a lot. Yeah, I don't know about the the CGC thing you'll have to just ask. Can dogs get used to certain corrections to a point? Yeah, they can. What is the best way to have your dog obey others after training? I'm not sure what that means, Ken. One of my dogs shares this stock, other small dogs. How do I train that out of her? Andrew, you know, again, like working on your recall, again, breaking behaviors that are pretty primal. When we talk about like things like jumping, pulling on the leash, things like that, those are behaviors you can really cope with and navigate. But when you're talking about like hunt drives and prey drives, that becomes a little bit more difficult to work with because the dog just clicks on. It's kind of like training a cat not to chase a mouse. You can't really just say like, hey, don't do that anymore. You have to work on your obedience to get that out of the dog versus trying to take it out of it because it's very instinctual. Are you going to be coming to Seattle? I'd love to find a place for me to get up there and do a seminar and I'll be there. I want to go to Washington really bad. And that goes for anybody. If anybody wants to have me out for a seminar, we just need a place that's inside with running water and heat and maybe put some seminars on. We're so backed up with seminars now. We were supposed to do a bunch and now we're not doing any, so I'm ready to go anywhere. Which of your videos is a good start to build your relationship? Ooh, that's a good question. I don't know. I have like almost 400 videos and I don't really know how to answer that. But I would be, I have playlists. So I would go under my playlist and see what's applicable the most with you. But a lot of my behavior, modification, training videos, so aggressive German Shepherd videos, leash pulling videos, those really, I find myself breaking down relationship stuff and those. If you want to go to Michigan, actually, Taylor, am I going to Michigan? Yeah, I think I am going to Michigan actually for private training. So we might be able to do some stuff after that. But any seminars in Syracuse? No, no. Do you have any advice for recall training without the E-caller? I'm from Germany and those are illegal here. I have a two and a half-old Akita. Yeah, just using a long line and just working on that recall. And the big thing is, is hey, Fido, come. And they're like, yeah, I'm not coming. And then you just correct him for that. And you say, hey, what are you doing? You're going to get hit by a car or you're going to get sprayed by a skunk and so on and so forth. So you just have to be able to give some sort of punishment during that time of non-compliance in order for that to work. So anyway, that's what I would do, get a long line. Yeah, come to Kansas. I am going to Kansas City this year, hopefully. So maybe we can work that out. Eric asked, the video of the guy that got aggressive with your E-caller was, I think, fire. Was that a real reaction? And what was the final? No, it wasn't a real reaction. It's a good question. I put it in the description. I put it in the video that it was a reenactment of a session that we had. So that's something that happens quite frequently with anybody using tools. You get a very overreactive, potentially physical person. And a lot of times we just, because it's so uncomfortable, we don't usually have the cameras rolling. But it was a good reenactment. It gave me a good platform and an opportunity. I think that video has like 80,000 views now. So it's really, I can't tell you how many emails and messages I get from people saying that they are pro E-caller when they weren't because of that videos, because I was able to really break it down. So that happens all the time in our facility. It's very interesting. But Laura, you can email me or Taylor, really, at canineeducator at gmail.com. Yeah. What is your go-to dogtua system? Adam, I, let me show you. Actually, let me show you something about dogtua that a lot of people don't know about that can make your training really cool. Let me show you. Stretch. I have, you guys should see my table right now is like my office, because I've been doing so many online. I've been, I've been busier during quarantine, busier than I ever have, with emails and just brand deals and so much going on. It's insane. I don't know what's going on. But anyway, so the dogtua arc is a, I want to show you guys something. So a lot of people ask me about e-collars and things like that. Dogtua is my go-to brand. We're partners. We work together. They're great people. They work hard and yeah, they're a good collar. So let me show you something about the dogtua arc. So this is the arc, so ARC. So the reason why it's called arc is because it's actually arc like this. So this is cool. And then you have your remote here, your receiver and your remote. But the cool thing about the arc is you can, you're able to have a little button here. So you can actually put this on. I put it right on my wrist. So I use this when I'm running with my dog off leash like Lakota. I'll go running with her and I'll just put like a tab leash on her. But I'll just, I'll just go running with her and just have her remote on. And I'll have this around my hand. And I'm able to, I call it a finger tap. So I'm able to tap this button and actually control the remote or the receiver without hitting the remote. So you tap this and you can get this sold with the ARC. Really, really cool. Great technology. I just had an online session with a girl who works, she's a ranch hand basically at a place in Wyoming. And you know, a lot of equipment, horses, equipment and all that stuff. And the dogs are out with them to protect the horses from bears and other things. And to be able to just tap this, a lot of law enforcement officers will use this as well. They'll just put it on their equipment here and they're able to just control their dog. So this is really, really cool. People don't know that and I had it right here. And I wanted to tell you about that because you asked about it. But Dogtra's my go-to. Have you got a video on the best brand? Yeah, Dogtra is the best brand. Let's see, geez. Does the E-collar just have vibrate? It has stimulation and vibrate. Ariel, what's up? My anxious dog refuses to acknowledge me even on a prong collar. She is nervous and loses focus and will sit and then bolt. That's hard. It's a really hard thing to do because you're trying to take an anxious animal and make them not anxious, which is a very deep core thing. So what I would do is just take your time, keep working, be patient, do directional changes. Going back and forth and not going forward. If you're going forward, your dog is constantly looking and whatever. Go to the other way and change your direction to get your dog engaged into you and create more obedience exercises to do more stuff with your dogs, to create less anxiety. It's almost beer 30 here. You're welcome. Is the button just on one setting? No, you can change it. So I think you're referring to the Dogtra. So you can change your setting on your remote here. So you can go up to whatever level you want and then that's what the finger tap will. You're welcome, Ariel. That's what the finger tap will do. Hey, if you guys haven't yet, don't forget to like this video. Subscribe to my channel and all that fun stuff. We're going to take a couple more questions and then we're going to do a little giveaway. I like the educator. I use the educator for a long time. I had the opportunity to team up with Dogtra and create some really cool stuff. So that's my go to 1030 am here, nearly beer thing yet. That's funny. How expensive are Dogtras? They range anywhere from $170 depending on what. That's a cool thing about Dogtras. They have really, really high end collars up to $400 or more. And then they have $170 collars. It just depends on what you're working on. But I can't stress enough how important your off leash tools are with your dogs and how invaluable they are when you need it. Holy crap. It's an insane amount of like easy investment for anybody in my opinion. What type of fanny pack do you use? It's a weird name. I forgot. I'll maybe post it on my Instagram or something. Okay. I'm having a beer. Definitely beer 30. Yes, it is. Jessica, I agree. It's going to happen after this. I don't know what we're going to have. We have a fridge full of beer. We got a bunch of different beer. We have like Guinness, Lagunitas, Miller Lights. We have like a lot of good stuff. There's so many questions. Have you done a seminar on a military base? No, but I would. That would be cool. When do you know your setting is too high on the dog trail? Well, when you're conditioning a dog on a remote, you never really want it to be corrective. So I always put the E-collar on me and use it all the time just to show people what levels they are. But you're going to use the remote when it's corrective, when the dog is like running under like a car and they're going to die. So when you're training just for basic stuff, you're just using it on a very low level. Do your dogs tend to listen only when we're in the collar? No, no they don't, Chris. I use the collar primarily again because it's my e-brake or my emergency go-to if there's something else that's going on that I can't control. For an example, people, I would trust all my dogs off leash downtown Manhattan during a really busy time and they would stick with me. And so no, I use my equipment and I use my tools because I know that the public and the environment are going to throw curveballs at me that I could never train for. So I want to make sure that I can reach out and... Hi, sweetheart. There's Moguro. She knows you're talking about her. She's really, really smart. Like she cues on everything that I do. I wouldn't be surprised if she knew I was just talking about her. What's your go-to beer? Yeah, I'm just... The only thing I really don't like is I don't like sours but I love like... And I don't really like dark, dark beers. I like Nitro, like Stouts. Like I like Guinness. I like Left Hand. But I don't like sours and I don't like like really dark, dark beers. I like everything. Pilsners, IPAs. Hi. She loves to give love. How do you build up a very good relationship with a dog? What should you not do? What you shouldn't do... Good question. What you shouldn't do is give them all the love that they want. Oftentimes dogs will... Dog owners will do that. They'll adopt or get a new dog and they shower them with too much love and not enough leadership. And you created a very unbalanced relationship with your dog. So I tell people all the time to make sure that when you're training with your dog that you're not giving them way too much love. Because that's like the worst thing you could do. So that's my go-to. Okay. Cool. All right. So let's just do a giveaway really quick. So what I'm going to... What I'm going to do is I'm going to make it really easy for you guys. I'm not even going to ask a dog question. Primarily because I don't have one for you. But what we're going to do is I'm going to post this video. As soon as it goes live, I'm going to be giving away three no-bad dog stickers. I'm going to give the first and second one away for the second comment and the 15th comment. And I'm going to give the third one away at random tomorrow morning. And I'll ship them out to you guys. It's nothing like Crazy Special, but they're cool stickers and it's just a fun game. Yes, Lakota is a Dutch Shepherd. So anyway, that's what we're going to be doing. Thank you guys for joining me today. I appreciate it. We'll do this again soon.
