So.... no backyatd squirrels...

The easiets solution is to not own any dogs. Dogs aren't indoor pets. They are an invasive species and opportunistic mutated scavengers. They are literally designed to just roam around outdoors and eat rotten cadavers.

My four dogs have been having a GREAT time with their food toys! I learned that one got overwhelmed and I needed to give her an easier toy (and only one.) another dog of mine loves a big football styled eating thing. All of them have been having a great time. Thank you!

Hi, this was a great video and Fen is so good. Do you have any advice for a reactive dog. My Border Collie is almost 3 years old, he was a rescue at 12 weeks with no socialisation. My problem is people cannot stop and say hello to me or him, they cannot even as they walk by us say "Hi" because Monty will lunge and bark. He also lunges and barks at other dogs and has no friends other than our other non BC dogs. Since I got him I would certainly watch his body language, increase the distance between him and his trigger(s), I use plenty of high value food but once he's in the barking/lunging zone he's not interested in any food ni matter how high value it is. We cannot even sit outside a coffee shop in case someone says hello causing him to react and heaven forbid another dog might be there too. If you have any advice on this I would appreciate it. Loving your videos so much. Many thanks.....Tina (Dublin, Ireland ☘️)

Thank you for such a great video, sharing all those options are very interesting, a lot of them I didn't know, great idea about the toy to teach the dog to go inside the crate!!

What if she goes crazy when people just get in, without knocking? Do you do the same proccess without knocks? My brother in law lives with us and she goes craaazy when he gets in (even if she sees him everyday), but he doesn't knock since he lives here. She always pees also when somebody gets in (reother in law as well. With everybody except me actually). She's a rescue and I also think she was a bit traumatized caus' she pees when we speak loudly as well... Do you have any trick for that ? Thank you :)

In my country meat for dogs cost 2 time less than for humans i wonder if it edible cause i eat around 1,3kg meat per day and that would save me a lot of money, soon gona order the pack

Thank you! Love this. I’m a cpdtka and i use this to share w ppl

This is awesome!! Thank you so much

I can't play this game..bcz she always come after me WHENEVER I hold a treat in my arm.She ll never leave🤧🤧

I've been trying the hold and be boring option to try and get my puppy to drop it. She's tenacious!! She's happy to just sit and chew all day as I hold her toy 🤷‍♀

Fantastic enrichment ideas Sarah your incredible thank you very much for your time you take to create your incredible work keep it coming! ❤ lots of love ❤️ xxx

You're incredible Sarah lots of love to you and the pups ❤️ xxx

This was such a relaxing video to watch and listen to (and obviously very informative)!

Love this sniff spot!

looks like fun. do you do any dog sports or herd?

Okay, I know this video is old, but any favorite places to the get Happy Howie's roll in NoCo? Your videos tipped me off to them, and they're my dog's #1 fav treat, but I've had a hard time finding them lately, and would love to not have to lean on Amazon to get them!

Struggling with this! My pup will go back to the box and look at it then me. But won’t get back in the box!

How much do you reduce the regular meals when giving them so many treats?

My 10 mo puppy refers excitement from playtime as reward over food; however, she jump and nip us every time we play with her. Any advice on how to stop her nipping us?

Great ideas, thank you!

Be careful with bully sticks and bones. Always use a bully stick holder, a lot of dogs choke on the large end pieces. Bully stick holders also make it easier for them to hold.

Also, how about knocking or ringing after disappearing outside for maybe 5 minutes (sit on the steps or something)? I was a UPS delivery driver for a few years before I moved on to tractor trailers. One of my dogs was around in those days and would get excited at the sound of my truck, then at any UPS delivery truck. Then when I retired we moved quite a bit away and now when the UPS, FedEx or whoever comes, this particular dog trained the new dog that those noises are exciting and thus the entire house needs alerted to this exciting event. It's extremely frustrating.

I'm just stopping this for a moment. Isn't it possible that once they've become conditioned to a treat when the doorbell or a knock occurs that they will get amped up merely by the thought a treat is about to happen and start barking because of the excitement?

Your dog looks a lot like mine! Blonde border collie!

My pup, around 4 months has started to have these out of control biting fits out on walks. After he goes number 2 he feels brand new and it starts as playing. He gets pretty aggressive though. Any advice?

Super helpful video!

Ingenious! We had a go at scratch board training my dogs on the flat boards and we had some good results from first session but the outer claws don’t get too much action.

Thank you for your informative video. This video is informative and helpful. You dog is one lucky pet! The only toy I would not recommend is the bone shaped, dental/treat toy. I bought this and within 6 minutes my dog removed the end of the "bone" treat and chewed the plastic thread. The toy cannot be used any more.

hello, thank you for the video ! you mention using two different harnesses, one for positive training and one for when need to put a harness on him, but my 8 month old puppy just will refuse to wear any harness at all, even the ones that don't go over her head . in that case, should i just focus exclusively on the more positive, more time consuming method? (also, is 8 months old too late to harness train? she is very stubborn and reactive, and i'm just about to start trying this new method) thank you for your time !

I am going to try some of these ideas when I have knee replacement surgery and I can't walk my dog.

Is the clicker great for families where all members need to command the dog? We all have very different voices.

Can you do this without a clicker? Cuz im in another country and havent seen one anywhere...

I’ve tried some of these in the past. The problem is that my Labrador likes to work smarter, not harder, so he just grabs whatever container he knows the treats are in and flips it over. If he can flip it and have it fall with enough force on the floor, he can outsmart any puzzle toy very fast, even if he knows how to complete said toy the correct way.

This is awesome! Thank you

Awesome!💟

Great video. Thank you for all the ideas!

Immensely helpful!!! Two houns/great Pyrenees/lab mix puppies here so we really need the help!

I love this, and this worked perfect at my house. My dog was a star! But I have a boarding barn where I work at with Horses and customers, and when he’s in the tack room and customers walk in and out of the door, without knocking, he gets very anxious. Often times he’s lying right by the door when people come in or he’s back in the corner. But definitely if it’s a new person he hasn’t seen he will charge the person and the door when they walk in. Familiar people he just stays where he is. What can I do about this?

Without much detail, I just wanted to say I needed to see this video today. Thank you.

Stupid video, wasted my time, 6 mins still could not teach the dog to nod it head!

This is well done, but please remove that background elevator music, makes me feel like I've been put on hold

No offense but if any dog is so picky about food…let them not eat for 1 day and the next day they would eat whatever you gave them.

Just ordered one for my 6 yr old staffy/boxer mix. High energy, high prey drive. We can go for a 7 mile walk, and she'll still have a ton of energy, so I hope this tires her out 😂

Excellent. Love it!!

I LOVE YOUR DOGS AND I LOVE YOU FOR HOW NICE YOU ARE TO THEM ❤️❤️❤️

hey thanks for the video ? did you say you use ham as a treat for recall ? I'm gonna try this! just one question what happens when they are done being trained does that mean you don't give her as many treats but she will still follow and listen to you , won't she still be expecting treats every time
