Splash invents a head nod in a bow position. Kiko jumps over Splash and practices prancing. Splash crawls as I walk. Both dogs practice sustained targeting. Sustained Nose, Head, Chin and Paws. Splash is 5 1/2 months and Kiko just turned 2 a couple days ago.
www.pamsdogacademy.com When working around distractions or things that seem to send your dog over the deep end, move far enough away so that your dog can concentrate and think about what you are doing with him. In this case, Twix was really overly stimulated when Bandit is in the pool with him. However, I started the training process from the simplest step of just being calm around the swimming pool. I slowly added distractions and step by step got closer to what the final outcome would be like. Twix can now come out of the pool when playing and come to me, but if Bandit is splashing around then Twix is too overly stimulated and can’t think or listen to me. So, I will spend more time at the last step to build muscle memory of coming when called out of the swimming pool. Next, I will have Bandit swim and Twix on a leash and start from there. However, this video was already 6 minutes plus and if you know me, I like to keep my videos below 5 minutes. So, there will have to be a follow up video on Twix’s progress. I also mentioned in the video keeping the dog below threshold. That just means working with him at a distance at which the dog does not react to the distraction and can focus and do things with you. I like to test my dogs tricks when out in public. If I ask for a trick that I know they know, and the dog can’t seem to understand the words that I am saying, then I know the distractions or something in the environment is just too great. Now if I move far from the …

www.pamsdogacademy.com This is a tutorial on how to train your dog to roll up in a blanket. My dogs are trained using positive reinforcement training methods. I do not use any positive punishment which means I do not jerk, yell at, give any physical or verbal corrections. I reward the behaviors I like by capturing, shaping, and luring them. Yes, I do lure my dogs, however I make sure that I fade the lure as quickly as possible. I hope that you enjoy this video! Please post a video response once you have taught your dog this trick.

I made this quick video because this is the most common question I get asked daily on youtube. BUT the secret is not WHAT treat to use, but what treat YOUR dog needs you to use. It will be different for every dog! The next secret is that you have to keep changing the treats up or the dog will get bored/habituate to the treat you always use.
A couple of you have been asking how I teach heel, so here it is! The first thing I work on is getting the dog to find the heel position. They have to be VERY good at this first step if we want a reliable, tight and focused heel. A good technique to remove the ‘chair’ is to put it further away by an inch every day for a week. By the end of the week you will likely no longer need it. Teaching a dog to come around to your side also has a very useful application in loose leash walking. I will go over this in my next video, which will be up in 2 days!
I made this video just to show that you can use the same leash walking tips (as my loose leash walking video with a chihuahua in it) with Dogs of all breeds and sizes. All dogs learn in the same way using positive reinforcement training.
www.sitmeanssit.com Chaining a remote dog training collar with food, is just one of the many things that Fred Hassen and the Sit Means Sit dog training system have done over the years in revolutuionizing the world of remote electronic dog training, or ecollars or shock collars as they are sometimes referred to as years ago. The ‘Sit Means Sit dog training collar’ which was devised by Fred Hassen in conjunction with Sportdog, has been made in a way that is unique to this system of training. Here is a similar example with a 3 1 old puppy: www.sitmeanssit.com This process is demonstrated in this version of our daily dog training video tip.

This is an exercise that supplements the techniques that I have presented on this topic already. It is not by any means a conclusive, end-all solution to stop leash-pulling. However, after having worked through everything else mentioned in my other videos on teaching loose leash walking, I find that a lot of dogs learn very quickly with this approach that they must not pull if they want to continue the walk. It is important to note however, that using food as a reward after every ’roundabout’ may cause some dogs to pull just so they can come around for a reward. Using food rewards occasionally should eliminate this problem.

This is a trick for ADULTS to teach to dogs. In fact children should never teach dogs tricks alone, and should be supervised at all times around dogs. Remember! ALWAYS use a TOY or soft object for this trick! The idea is to have fun with your dog in a SAFE environment. NEVER swing an object at a dog without training the dog to feel relaxed and comfortable with the “game”! NEVER actually TOUCH the dog with the object in this video- if the dog doesnt want to jump, be patient and go back a step. This trick is about teaching the dog to jump for the fun of it, like in agility, not to jump out of avoidance.
Use a clicker to train a dog for specific behaviors by classically conditioning the dog to understand that the sound of a clicker means a treat is coming.

Follow this step by step training video to teach your dog to shut doors using shaping and clicker or verbal marker training. It’s easy and fun for you both! Almost any dog can do it! This video (part 1& 2 combined) was a finalist in the Canis Film Festival 2009! www.canisfilmfestival.com Jessie took about 30 minutes of actual training time to learn the basics to the end of Part 1, then additional training (see Part 2) to add the cue, fade the clicker and treats, add distance and generalize. We use positive training and operant conditioning. This educational video is brought to you by Vancouver Island Assistance Dogs in Nanaimo, BC and are now available for purchase on CD.
