What if there were a few simple exercises that you could do anywhere that would not only teach your puppy to listen to you, but also burn off all of that extra energy?! Working in a quiet, controlled environment is a great way to ensure some success, it’s also a space that you have access to all of the time. Enjoy this episode of Living Room Lessons!

Why say ‘out’ instead of ‘drop’?
I have a 4 week old puppy, he is not allowed outside. He is too young to start training or not?
What is the food that’s given to the puppy? The treats in this training?
All of these videos look so easy until I try it with my puppy 😂
exactly. It is quite clear these puppies have done this before. My puppy has NO interest in the other object for the "give" command..... unless it is a piece of sausage - and when playing tug of war - there is NO place for having sausage in the other hand - the excitement will cause a huge issue with getting that treat.
yeeeesssss!!! my puppy looks at me like, "oh hell nah!"
I assume we’re all doing it wrong ? 🤷♂️
exactly haha
Ok I was thinking it was just my pup!
Can we get a Carol playlist, by far the best trainer, every video with her I learn so so much.
Carol is The Bomb!
Love how closely he is looking at you in his training
This video is incredibly useful. I just tried half of these with my 13-week old puppy while watching and they work so well! Thank you!
Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting 🐾
Happy Training!

Nice, saved this for later to rewatch!
I’m getting a pug puppy in several weeks. I discovered your channel and I’ve been binge watching all the training vids! I love your straightforward style.
I lovvvvvve your training methods! So clear and straight the point! Excellent demonstrations!!
Hello from NYC! I cannot wait to watch other videos! Thanks again !🙏🏼
I love her videos. Super cute puppy. She is grown now and I wonder how she is.
You are brilliant, I LOVE this!
I will get my pup in few months and i already watched everything on your channel hahaha. You guys are great! Thanks for all the tips, i really appreciate all of it
Thank-you Carol! I never thought of a platform to help the dog get square, or in good position. Great idea. I like your explanations. Thank-you.
This is the perfect video I’ve been searching for!!! My dogs are great with pretty much everything, with the exception of doing things exactly when I say (usually takes a second or two for them to do it) and with allowing themselves to be pet by strangers.
Thank you sooo much!!
Great information, thank you🙏
I have a new puppy & I enjoy your training videos so much! I’ve been documenting my training journey here on CZcams & I hope one day he will be as well behaved as you guys get dogs. Thanks for all your content!
Very detailed. Thanks for putting out content to help us tap into our pups awesome potential.
Thanks for all the tips. This is so helpful. I love the peanut butter on the spoon idea. My friends puppy doesn't like Peanut butter but loves that cheese in a can. She gets the low sodium kind and smears that on a spoon now to get her puppy used to getting her nails trimmed. Once that spoon comes out that puppy gets so excited 😆. I never seen a dog so excited over a nail trim before but whatever works.
Great video. Working on these with my 10 week old golden
Getting a black female lab around thanksgiving been watching these videos for a WHILE now can’t wait !
Ok you guys are GREAT!!!! Thank you.
I get my puppy in two weeks. I have watched all of your videos and feel much more confident now. Great content.
What kind of puppy? My pup is coming home in 5 weeks!
@@seaamundsen4687 Red German Pinscher. Lots or energy. What about you?
Leonberger, medium to low energy giant. We already have a 4.5 year old border collie/aussie mix though so we've already got a high energy one 🤣. Plus 2 cats!
I'm also getting my lab/ beagle in 2 weeks! Love this content
Be prepared for potential puppy blues. Not enough people talk about it and I'm experiencing it now. It can be very hard, but best of luck with your new puppy!
This is the best training video hands down !!! Or maybe... paws up 🐾🐾🐾
I love your videos. They are very helpful. Thank you. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro 🤗🙏🥰😘🐶
Good on you Carol!
Thank you!
I have watched so many dog training videos, none of them are as straight forward and easy to understand as yours. :) There's a trainer named Zac on You Tube and he really talks to much. Always T.M.I., just show me how to do it already!
Zac ruined his border collie. Made that dog fearful of everything.
I kind of hate the CZcams format. Everyone shows videos with such successful dogs that make it look easy, you'll never convince me they haven't had a little priming before the camera was turned on, or that an excessive amount of editing wasn't done to make it look easy. Show me some struggles and how to handle them rather than showing me the end result. I'm having an issue with leash training and no one has mentioned it anywhere. When I put the leash on my pup, she hates it. She freaks out and starts yelping like someone is beating her. Good luck finding answers to a problem like that from youtube
@@fisharepeopletoo9653I understand your frustration! I one adopted a dog that had been tied to a tree since she was a puppy. The collar had begun embedding into her neck when she was brought to the rescue center. They said she was about a year old & for obvious reasons had developed several fear issues. We worked on building trust first. Eventually I introduced a collar by letting her sniff & explore. She was rewarded for doing simply that. Over & over for days...Next I used a soft satin ribbon along with the collar, & again rewards for any acknowledgment. Eventually I gently held the ribbon around her neck for only a few seconds; reward, reward, reward. After a few days she was comfortable enough for me to loosely tie the ribbon on & play for a few minutes. We also continued the collar desensitizing while she wore the ribbon. Next was to swap the ribbon for the collar & repeat the above training until I could attach the leash without stress. (Introduced leash the same way) We worked s l o w l y through this process & three weeks later she was happy to have her new comfy collar on, play & explore freely around the house dragging the leash along. The final step was learning to walk with the leash, & she was confident enough at this stage! Best of luck with your dog's training
@@Maryellengray how can I make sure that I don’t make my Grace fearful of everything😞
I always use a touchpad to teach everything-starring right in my living room! Wonderful for bad weather days! Great video👍❤️
My pup is a Velcro dude so having his “Place” Kees him happier while I’m scooting around the house NOT tripping on him. If I’m going to laundry or clean another room, I grab his Place and plop it down where he can watch.
I have to board him for a week so I’m taking his car Place so he has something when he’s not in bed or play time.
Very nice job. My only input would be to try and use two toys which are the same. Although dogs will still prefer one over the other, the more similar they are, the easier it is to entice the dog off the toy they are possessing. Once again, McCann put together a fantastic video the average dog owner can follow.
OMG. Love your videos! Smooch is such a cuteness overload. What a pleasure it is to see your training sessions. THANK YOU! At least now I can play with my Bessie and her boyfriend Pip more consciously, especially knowing that Bessie, Pip and I will benefit from these play sessions eventually. I wonder what kind of treats is Smooch getting while training?
It's a good idea to train at pup's feeding time. This way, you can use pup's kibble, slow down the eating process, & track how much your pup is eating. It also allows for more, "high value" treats for other training sessions. Have fun with Bessie & Pip!
This was great for me. My puppy is doing all this after a couple of days.
This was very helpful
I just got a standard poodle and these have been very helpfull!
That was a really good point/idea to use two identical toys that have the same value when teaching out.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your help for my 4 puppies
So good! Easy to understand (for dogs and humans!), gets to the point (i hate a prolonged intro), shows it in practice and makes total sense! Thank you Carol, you are great x
Mcann dog training videos are usually ong and boring. This lady is just really good
Thank you for this video!! Just put a deposit down on a cockapoo pup (very excited family). It seemed like the platform training used a lot of treats. Would you do this as part of mealtimes?
Really great video! My 8 week old husky pup doesn’t mind being handled and I always do it after a training session. Definitely gonna incorporate the OUT command for releasing things.
Great video!!
My dog is 5 years old but im definitely going to use these training exercises.
Started watching your videos last night when I got my vizsla puppy, I hope I train him properly since it's my first dog
Smooch knows his name.
He was so cute looking up, “what?” when you said his name.
Do you know what type of breed Smooch is?
@@cookiesradio1822 - I’m not sure but he looked like a border collie.
@@saturniiiidae Thank you! I appreciate it.
@@cookiesradio1822 - no problem! Glad I could help.
Pamela, he might know his name but he has to be consistent and reliable with listening to it.
These are some very helpful ideas. TY for this! My pup keeps taking her toy and running off with it, instead of bringing it back. When I tried to trim her nails she bit me twice :( I will try these techniques.
How many training treats would you give on a daily basis plus his daily food.
I like to make some training mats. Please could you explain how I would figure out dimensions for my pup?
Hi There, I have been watching quite a few of your videos in the last month or so, I'd love to know more about the treats you use if you could share that'd be awesome.
I'm trying to give the best start for my 10 weeks old Boarder Collie named Togo.
Cheers from New Zealand
Ico
Boy! I'll bet you had quite a backache by the end of this demonstration.
New to your channel and I find it so helpful! My problem is my 5 month old Ringo is so skittish and untrusting (or appears to be). My vet said this is normal for Border Collies? He has never felt a harsh hand. Any suggestions? It has really slowed down training.
How long should I spend on each exercise to keep my puppy interested and learning?
Can you do a similar video for a deaf puppy. I am having trouble marking positive behavior
Om goodness my 6 month old pup has started attacking our feet whenever we walk!! I sure hope these exercises get home to refocus Hanks attention.
What kind of training treats are those?
Great video. I have a 1 month 25 days old golden retriever. She loves food as goldens do. I was wondering how many treats do you give while you are doing this training? Do you break treats in half? Will I be over feeding him when training or can I do it with her kibble ? Thank you
JUST FACTOR YOUR TREATS INTO YOUR DOG'S TOTAL DAILY FOOD INTAKE.
I wish I could watch the video and interact with my pup at the same time. I need two brains!
Help! All of the training videos are amazing! But it’s very hard to train like this with teacup puppies. 😫 I’m trying everything you say but she’s soo small that not even on my knees work! Any recommendations on how to train teacup puppies? Not even her harness that is the xxs even fits her 😫😩
What do you use for a platform? Where do you get the platform?
This was such a wonderful video! We've already tried these with our 12 week puppy and he's doing so well! Question though, you said you want you to be the most interesting thing in the room so don't let him grab a toy and play on his own.. but what if you want to encourage independent play so there is less separation anxiety when you're not home for an hour or two?
I second this question!
Maybe she was referring to training sessions when dog attention should be on trainer?
What do you use for a treat?
When I am leaving my 12 week pup for an hour or two, he will be in a crate. But before that we play tug or fetch or go for a puppy walk to tire him and also to go potty. Then he goes in crate with a chew treat (I found one made of dried sweet potato and chicken). He is tired and like a human toddler will cry about going to bed for a nap but after a few minutes he stops complaining and goes to sleep. At any rate when I return he is quiet and snoozing peacefully.
Use different toys for independent play and play with you. The ones used with you are kept special. Independent play toys will be tough and safe and busy toys. Magic mushroom, stuffed kong, ropes, hollow beef leg bones (uncooked), antlers, big balls (pony size), etc.
I don't like when the dog is so worried about the treats they get pushy or mouthy. My current dog I am training is so slow to eat ANY treat, and a lot less energy, so how do I make this still work. Also, I don't get what the pads are for.
I would love to see some training with a Chihuahua puppy, please!
Thank you.
I know this comment is 4 mos old, but kikopup channel here on CZcams is great for small dogs!
How do u stop a dog from biting leash or pulling?
Can I ask what kind of training threats you use please?
Love to see a video for someone can’t get on the floor.
what is the name of that green toy you use? Thanks!
What video do you have that teaches my pup to always (by default) to come sit by my side?
Great Video! What is she using for the reward treats?
How do u build a platform? Thanks.
This is great! Is there a reason that you keep the leash during those exercises?
You might have already gotten an answer if you watched other videos from them, but they always keep what they call a "house line" (a nylon leash with the handle cut off usually, or even just a nylon rope) on their puppy when outside of their crate. It allows for easier handling when you need to stop the pup from doing something or go to grab them, especially for pups that nip because if you reach in to try to grab their collar, it is a higher chance of them nipping, and it is also very inconvenient. Whereas with the leash, or house line, they can use that to pull the puppy away from a situation, guide them, and also get them in nice and close for better control when going to handle.
I hope that helps :)
OMG is that a rear projection television in the background?!?!?
If there are multiple adults in home should each one take time to do this each day? If there are kids, would it be smart to involve them or be sure they are distracted with their own play in a different place?
can i pair the first exercise with the release cue, like "okay"? Can my plataform be a little towel? because it's more portable.
Instructor Carol here. Absolutely to both questions.
May I know what treats your using? My dog is not a fan of the food I am giving...
Thanks! I have a question, why not using the balance plate with puppies?
Too distracting
How long and how many times a day would you do these drills with an 8 week old puppy?
Is anyone else tall and finds themselves nearly falling over whenever bending down to treat at side or while walking? My wee little Yorkie is a long way from my 5'10" frame and even if I'm just trying to practice rewarding while at my side BEFORE teaching to walk with me, my back is killing by the time a 5-minute session is over. I need to teach her to give me a massage afterward. 😆
What kind of treats are you giving the puppy? my French bulldog mix is getting very rolly poly!
Use their regular food. Instead of feeding it as a meal, use it for training.
Thanks Elizabeth, I was using treats and my puppy is getting chubby!
Where did you get the materials for this platform?
Lowe’s or Hobby Lobby type retailer for foam which you can cut to size and wrap with duct tape.
So I have a challenge I inherited and rescued a 5-week-old puppy out of a cardboard box that was born on September 9th what is the best way to help him be successful in his training I haven't started crate training yet I figured he was too young so I just keep a close eye on him and try to teach him the potty pads he's only 2.5 lb the vet says he's very healthy any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance
they should start training around 8 or 9 weeks! stick to simple things like socialisation and the potty training for now :)
My experience with puppies is that they need to be about 11 weeks old before they can "Hold it" through the night. I wrote a longer reply to " TDOT" above with more details on pee/poo training. In addition to that, my only advice is to keep the potty pads near the door so that you can gradually move the pads outside (when they figure out that you want them to pee/poo on the pad). That also trains them (and you) to go toward the door when it's time to go pee/poo. It will only take a couple of successful pee/poos outside before you no longer have to have the pad out there in the pee/poo spot.
How short the nail should be cut? Will dog feel pain when digging on the ground?
I do this my puppy just starts jumping up at me coz of the treats in my head and biting me to get them. He gets over excited immediately 😆
What can I do with my German Shepherd 12 weeks, bite me all the time?
Why does Carol actually look like Carol from the Walking Dead? 😂
What snacks do you recommend for training purposes?
their kibble mainly then i normaly use homemade treats for high value rewards
What are you using for treats?
How do I do this with a crazy food obsessed Labrador puppy
You got heavy ken
Can the dogs put alot of weight on with all the treats. But it’s great to see what you do.
The four dislikes are overpriced platform manufacturers
no one's making you buy!!!
What do you use for training treats?
Hey Sleta, GREAT question!
We are ALWAYS changing up our treats based on the scenario, dog and skill we are training. One treat that ALWAYS works well for us is our DIY Homemade Tuna Treat. Check it out here!

Do you have a video to help train dog from whining in the car?
What breed is Smooch?
Whenever there is a treat pause for my puppy she will start barking and whining at me. Is there a way to prevent this?
Wait patiently until your puppy stops vocalizing. Be very neutral and boring, no speaking, no eye contact. Just that split second when they are quiet immediately say yes and give the treat. Timing is very important.
What breed mix is that puppy? I'm looking for that exact type of dog. Will pay any amount to buy.
We have one of these, too. It's a border collie. Very smart dogs!
Looks like a border collie. I have a border/rough collie mix. Collies in general are super smart. Mines could sit, lie down, stay, roll over etc etc by ten, eleven weeks, slept all night and was toilet trained by twelve weeks. Not every dog can achieve this. Some are not as bright, too easily distracted, lazy or full of devilment 😂, I just got lucky, though he does have his moments 🤭. They love to dig , particularly stuff you’ve just planted 😖
Please will you do a video on how to get a dog that is scared to get nails cut. He runs the minute he sees the clippers and freaks out if we get close to him. Please help
Hi Kelly I had that problem,until I started getting the clipped out when it wasn't nail cutting time... I would put them where he could sniff them and reward anytime he went near, then I would hold them regularly again without attempting to cut nails again high value reward for him touching them and letting me touch his paws with them.. Eventually after a week or so he was tolerant. Best advice I've had for grooming is the dog doesn't have to love it just so long as they are not traumatised or fearful also tire them out before attempting to have a go . . Good luck🍀🐾
I just learned about Bloat. Is it wise to give so many treats at one time? Im so afraid since I heard of bloat.
bloat is very scary but it's only really an issue with large dogs with barrel chests and the risk is really only with lots of food or water then vigorus exercise, short training sessions with treats should cause bloat so i wouldn't worry
What is your go-to training treat for puppies?
They make treats in one of their videos. My pup LOVES the treats. Really easy to make too.
Smerch :)
I have 2 dogs . One is 2 and one is 6 . Can I do this with them ? And if I can do I work with them seperately?
yeah any dog can do this, generally it's easier to train seperately too
Question how are you sure that he's not getting tired from eating food just like most animals do I feel like that's not enough exercise to make any sort of puppy tired It is a serious question I am about to be a new dog owner
have no idea what she was saying when she changed toys. was it out? i use that for them moving from a room
Agree. I use “release”
What kind of treats do you use for training?
Instructor Carol here. I used Smooch’s kibble during this video. I start with my pup in a vary low distraction environment so in most cases kibble has enough value. Plus a healthy option. Then I feed my pup a little less on the meal before or after.
@@steamdoggs4572 Hi Instructor Carol, what type of breed is Smooch?
@@cookiesradio1822 Smooch is a border collie.
@@steamdoggs4572 Thank you so much! Such a cute dog.
