Will AI Replace Dog Trainers?
Will AI replace dog trainers? Although this sounds like a joke, it is a legitimate question. With the advancement in AI and the advancement in humanoid robots the potential for robotic dog trainers will exist in the near future.
The first question is whether or not robots will even be capable of the task. Will they have enough empathy? Will they be able to bond with the dogs? The second question is equally important. Will people ever trust an AI powered robot with their dog?

Does My Dog Always Need to Heel When Walking?
Have mom and dad and 2 puppies I want to keep one puppy. Is it bad to keep the puppy with the mom
Not at all! The pup won't bond with its mom as tightly as it would with a littermate. You should be fine!
I think uk they still use Rotties to tend to hirses and cattle because of such a high agriculture and livestock there. The EU likely wouldnt allow it 😂 my favourite breed by far. ❤
Im new by the way. And im hooked! You guys are a riot. I love the reviewing othwr trainers! Keep doing that!! I have some podcast catchup to bidge 😂
Welcome to the crew and thanks for the kind words! Just so you know, we don't post many of our podcast episodes on CZcams. They are all on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and then we post some here sporadically. If you ever have a suggestion for a topic let us know!
@SuburbanK9DogTraining oh I will definitely find you on Spotify then! I like youtube because of how interactive it is with comments directly-its sad you can't with Spotify! Lol I'll have to see what topics you've done so I don't repeat anything, I ALWAYS have suggestions. A biggie that never gets old, though, or can't be talked about enough is dog trainer/business talk and tips. Going from private lessons/private boarding to a kennel setup. How to avoid certain mistakes. Would love to hear about how to develop and build custom programs in relation to the dogs/clients as well. Having a standard few programs and/or when to make adjustments and what that looks like. Using some examples of current/previous clients. Controversial tools would also be a cool topic, such as a bonker. I've noticed over the last several years how common this tool actually is! Lol But I will browse and make sure you haven't covered topics already! Plus, reaction videos are fantastic observing other trainers, what you may or may not do differently, and that's why i love youtube too, because having the visual of the video is enjoyable but also easier to understand! Looking forward to soaking up all the info you guys share!
I love my clients that are proactive and have me come out to the shelter or breeder to pick out their dog or puppt PRIOR to adopting. If you have a trainer, thats what they're for! I have long term clients now with 2 dogs, having never had a dog, and i got to join for the whole journey 6 werks prior to then getting their dog/puppy. Those clients are fantastic.
You guys are great! The rescue qualifications are CRAZY. So true. One of my best and most dedicated clients is a psck a day smoker. Everytime he goes for a smoke, he runs them drills in the yard. He has a dutchie and a mali, and totally off leash trained. Whenever he is smoking he is working them, walking them, or socializing them with my pack. He does not smoke inside. So that's bs lol Whag about not adopting to families without a yard?? I didnt hear you touch on that?
Good points! A lack of yard or an owner that smokes should not be a deal breaker. A dog will be way happier with an owner that smokes but gives them a good life vs an owner that doesn't smoke and but never walks them or trains them. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
Haven't listened yet, but impossible! Possibly help/aid training or developing programs but it'd take YEARS of data input to come close to being accurate. Even so, each trainer would likely build their own!
We are definitely not in favor of AI training dogs, but it is a fascinating concept. Some of the newer robots are being trained not with millions of lines of code, but are simply tasked with watching a process. After enough watching they are able to replicate the process. This is a massive change in how robots work and could allow improvements faster than any of us can anticipate. How long before they know enough to do basic dog training? Who knows? It will be crazy to see what the future holds!
AI, NEVERRRRRRRRRRR WILL REPLACE A GOOD TRAINER, DOGS WILL BE SO AFRAID AND I WOULDN'T BLAME THEM.
We feel the same way! It seems like dogs would never trust them, but it will be interesting to see what the future brings. Dogs are such loving and trusting creatures that they might end up accepting a humanoid robot if it knows how to interact with them. I would never trust a robot to work with my dog though!
@SuburbanK9DogTraining Feel the Same, AI, nahhhhh, interesting 🤔, Avah-Shen would run as fast as she can. 😳🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣
I would like to see this in real life. A dog really blowing off the command and really getting your kind of correction.
Hi Lea Ann! Here is a video we shot with a dog who is much newer to the process. It shows the correction process in more detail.
Why do you ask for a sit before giving the treat? The come did not get rewarded even though he did it...
Great question! We train dogs to learn a chain of actions when they hear the word "come". Look at me, run to me sit in front of me and wait to be released. They need to perform all of the steps each time and we reward with praise or treats after they sit.
It's all about how you communicate with your dogs. I have 2 female littermates and they are seriously the best dogs ever. They listen to me so well. They have a healthy bond they absolutely love eachother but always listen to me first. I am very proud of being able to do this. It was extremely hard but I did it 😂❤
Great job! It sounds like you put in a lot of hard work and now get to enjoy the results!!!
She’s already trained, do it with a dog that isnt
She was actually very new to our training program when the video was shot. She had training on heel, sit and stay but this was the first time we worked on the door. Once we make a lot of progress on heel and the basic commands it makes the dog much calmer and allows training like this to go much smoother.
What do you do for dogs that have to be walked to relieve themselves? My 5mo Golden lives inside and we do have a backyard, but we have a pet rabbit, and she is very reactive (I'm working come and heel to start bringing that down). So, I can't let her be free to sniff and go on her own in the yard. Instead, I walk her down the street. Should a restroom break be handled differently than a walk?
Great question! I would definitely give more freedom when the walk is the only time the dog gets to be "free". When you take her out to relieve herself I would heel her a short distance (just to create good habits) and then free her up to smell and relieve herself. Good luck with that reactivity and feel free to reach out with questions any time!
Glad I found your channel. Very insightful posts. Thanks for the work!
Not really related to the video, but I'll be getting two 6 week old husky puppies, and since huskies are quite unique, I wanted to know how I should treat / train them differently, when compared to other dogs. Nothing specific, really mean anything that I should do different. Made the decision of getting them before knowing about the littermate syndrom, so I'll really focus on that as well. There's still some time before they arrive, but I still have a lot to learn. Please, feel free to recommend everything that you could think of, if that wouldn't bother you, since it'd take some time. Thank you for all the content that you worked on till now. If in need of content ideas, a video focused on huskies would be life changing for me. 😂😂
Congrats on the new pups! We have a couple of full length littermate syndrome videos that you should definitely watch if you haven't already. I would recommend diving into our puppy playlist and watching a lot of the videos on how to start training. Intro to loose leash walking is very important and is fun/easy when done right. The main things I would worry about with littermate Huskies would be littermate syndrome, pulling on leash, off leash come and resource guarding. Huskies are notorious for having issues in each of these areas. If you start off training right and work on handling exercises (we have a video on that) from day one it will make life much easier!
Where are the vids when its more than one dog??? When you're elderly, or a child, or short, or even just standing on one foot like that isn't doable??? I was told to just carry Bear spray or pepper spray or stun gun. And to use that.
It's the direct opposite advice I've seen in other videos
Agreed. A lot of the advice out there is "feel good" politically correct advice. Our advice is based upon what actually works rather than what sounds good.
EXCEPT! The dog is not on a leash when someone unexpectedly comes to the door!!!!!
This is useless and false advertising. You’re literally ignoring the most obvious issue: dogs are NOT on a leash everytime someone comes to the door!
You train the dog with a leash to make initial progress and to teach them the process. Then you move to the short tab like we did in the video. Did you watch the end of the video?
My wife brought two littermates home, brother and sister 🤦🏻♂️. I’m trying most of the stuff in the video but they sleep together at night. I live in an apartment and the barking and whining may get me kicked out. Any ideas to reduce this? I am considering soundproofing/dampering.
When are they barking and whining? At night or during the day?
Just got a new e collar today, and watched your video on starting with a heel command. My Springer Spaniel is 18 months old, and I could never take him on a walk without using a gentle leader. But if he ever got it off his nose or I didn't have it, he would wrench my shoulder every time! Using your video, he was walking almost perfectly within 30 minutes, and I never increased from a Lvl 1 vibration! By the end of the walk, he was heeling to a slight 1 finger leash pressure, and no correction! It was a beautiful walk! New subscriber! Thank you!
That is great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment! Have fun with your pup and feel free to reach out with questions any time!
What about a gentle leader? I'm using that right now. If she pulls, I just stop and then we continue while praising her.
I adopted an older one year old dog. Why do you use the short leash in the beginning instead of just going to the long leash? I'm thinking if you use the leash and then drop it as you did, the dog runs away. Could we just use the long leash from the beginning? Thank you.
Using the long line from the start is perfectly fine! The dog in this video was not a flight risk so we introduced the long line during the video to show a little of the process. If we are worried about a dog running we definitely start with a long line at the beginning of the session.
This is kinda the same with wolves too you explain
Some awesome footage in there. Is that Naperville river walk?
It is!!!
I have two 10-month old German Shepherd male siblings and it has been no cake walk. They’ve definitely shown signs of littermate syndrome because they freak out when they’re not together. Thank you for this video and giving the tools that I can apply with these two bad butts. 💛🐾🐾

I'm a CGC evaluator and would like to ask more questions about "How to Pass the AKC CGC Test" video. I would also like to see this same video performed with a dog that is more exuberant than Anakin, yet still passes all 10 exercises so that I could see how you, the handler, handles a dog that is less than perfect and areas where I, the CGC evaluator can observe how a handler may help (or "correct") their dog be successful. I get so many questions from handlers in preparation for their CGC regarding the Accepting a Friendly Stranger, Accepting Petting, Loose Leash Walking and Neutral Dog Exercises that I would really benefit from a training on each individual exercise, for example: steps to train a dog to "ignore the neutral dog, sit and not approach" the neutral dog, how do you proof that?? Thanks, Mary Cross
Those are some great points Mary! We are hoping to make some more CGC videos and we could add those to the list!
Hello, I need help my dog had puppies and my Nan adopted three girls at first it was just one and then when she got the other one everything was okay. They would just play for hours but then two months after she adopted another one of the girls as it couldn’t find her home, but the original puppy does not like the newest third one. She is absolutely fine with the second puppy but they have had a few fights where I managed to pull them apart but recently there has been two fights that was really bad. I couldn’t pull them apart from each other water didn’t help the wheelbarrow method to pull them apart, and since they have to be separated through gates I’m not sure what to do as I’m starting college soon and Nan will be on her own with them
Sorry to hear you are going through that! We just did a full podcast episode on aggression between dogs that live in the same household. It is on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I would suggest listening to it very soon. It will give you a lot of ideas and guidance.
So excited!!!!
About the dark chocolate you mentioned to have in your kitchen. Food specialist put out that a huge of metal has been found.
I don’t think this recall training video is good either, it’s EXCELLENT!! Just really fair, clear dog training. I’ve been training dogs to learn a reliable recall with this common-sense mindset for many, many years. You’re a really good trainer and I feel you make it make sense. I wish you all the success and good fortune!
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment!
Long line sucks for my puppy. She is 4mo old and always chews on the long line or gets tangles up in it. More play time to her than training time.
The initial sessions with a long line can definitely be a pain. Sometimes we will do training sessions with a pup where all we do is work on teaching them to ignore the long line. There is nothing wrong with doing a 45 minute session where you play with them and just focus on stopping them from biting the line.
I have a 12 week old puppy and my 13 year old Jack Russell is not a fan. She's growls, shows teeth and lunges at the puppy. How can I get the Jack Russell to settle down? It's like this 95% of the time.
Going for long walks together is one of the best options. Just make sure you don't over walk the pup. A 12 week old dog can't walk too long especially if it is a larger breed. We have a full length podcast video on this topic that would really help you out. Our show is called "Balanced Dog Training With Suburban K9" and is on Apple and Spotify for free. I hope this helps!
All the pet store had at the time I went was the 3.2 springer. They told me to size down by removing links, I'm down to 6 prongs now, had to remove 4. Is that enough?
I should add she's a 45lb pitbull mix
Having only six links isn't necessarily a problem, but it can affect the fit. How does it feel like it is working so far? Sometimes when there is a smaller amount of links the collars don't rotate well around the neck and get stuck in an awkward position. There is no safety issue or major training issue with that set up though, it just might not work as well.
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining appreciate the quick response!! we haven't tested it out yet, tags are still on as I think we might need to do a return lol. I put it on her and figured it looked kind of awkward and came back to the video to reference. Was originally looking to get the 2.25 or 3 but all they had at the store was the 3.2 and 4's
Teach the dog to automatically roll onto a hip on the down command. If they just crouch on their elbows, it's just too easy for them to pop up and possibly move away before you release them.
That is good advice! That can really help some dogs hold their stay.
What if you have two dogs , Is there anyway you can train them this together at an off leash park?
Absolutely! We always train with one dog at a time first until they are doing extremely well. After that we repeat the process with both dogs together. Training them together is generally fairly easy if the first step went well.
It would be good if you could raise or give a signal when you are using the vibration so we know.
Totally understood! Luckily with this particular command the timing is predictable. We push vibrate right as we say "come". The goal is for the dog to learn that vibration=come.
So happy that you teach positive reinforcement paired with boundaries. Most trainers nowadays only use positive reinforcement.
There are definitely a lot of trainers that preach about positive only training. The issue of course is that we all need rules, boundaries and consequences in our life. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
@@SuburbanK9DogTraining I agree. Same goes for the gentle parenting movement. No boundaries or consequences at all. It seems as if the pendulum has swung to the total opposite so its very refreshing to see trainers like you who have found the balance. Its basically the same as we should deal with humans. Compliments combined with consequences... Thank you. Seeing this gives me hope ❤️
I have a 14 yo chihuahua who doesn't give a crap about treats or toys. I bring his toy and he has 5 seconds attention. After that he is distracted and doesn't care about anything anymore😂

That's great Robert! Feel free to reach out with questions any time!
Every other video has said don’t make eye contact as it will intimidate it
That is the goal! If the dog has decided to attack you the goal is to convince it you are not someone to mess with!
What happens when your dog is a big beast of a canine & you’re only 5ft tall 120lbs & stepping on the long leash does absolutely nothing while your dog breezes right by, what then do you do for correction of disobedient dog?
I would consider e collar training in that scenario. I would start with the vibration and see if that is enough to get her attention in those situations. Here is a link to a video showing how we start that process with a dog who has never worn an e collar before. czcams.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/video.html Let us know if you have any questions!
Awww she’s so sweet
Tilly is definitely a sweet little girl!
"Here" works best for my dog. It's also a lot better than yelling "come" in public.
I can understand that for sure! "Here" is a great command.
I prefer "here" as well . So many people use come . I also use "follow"
I’m ordering one this week
Being a 1 dog house normally and a 1 or 2 cat house we like to get another cat when the old cat is around 12 so the old cat helps with the young cat .
