      I read that puppies should be in their crate as long as you cannot supervise them directly, such as if you're making dinner, you're taking a shower, etc. and, The crate should never be used as a punishment.

    As usual, I learn more from you in a 15 minute video than I've learned from a lifetime of having dogs and reading books on dog training. I sought out this particular video because my 6 month old rat terrier has just destroyed, in a few short days, all the plush toys that he has so gently and lovingly played with since I brought him home at 8 weeks. I knew the problem was something I wasn't doing. It always is. No longer will I be missing these opportunities! Thanks Ian!

  • @tophersutton7704
    @tophersutton7704 Před 5 lety +12

    Wow, I had no idea the different toy types were to be used differently. This changes everything. My puppy (8 months) has been destroying all of her plush toys so we just stopped giving them to her. I'm very excited to try the training you mentioned here and using it to teach her to be gentle!

  • @bbdarknyss
    @bbdarknyss Před 7 lety +19

    Excellent advice! I eliminated the squeaky toy and my puppy was a lot less crazypants during playtime. I also introduced rewarding behaviour with her food during play and today I tried the frozen Kong method during my absence and the dogs were super into it. Two thumbs up!

    Just binged on all your videos. I learned something new with every one! A video on chew toy training would be much apprectiated. My doberman will pretty much only chew on the edible chew toys, which ofcourse last about 5 minutes. Meanwhile he ignores the other kinds of chew toys while still being obessed with non-doggie things like shoes and whatever else he can get ahold of.

    My dog trainer hooked me up with your site. I'm so excited with ways I can reinforce the dog training my 6 mth. old American Eskimo male pup. He was kept in a kennel for 5 months before we purchased him. So many issues with him coming into an home environment, so many new things to chew on, a whole new wide eyed world with a puppy highly energized with owners who are senior citizens. With the help of Mandeville Canine Academy, Ted Carlson, we don't have to return a pup to breeder. The first two weeks were horrific, then we enrolled him for a month of classes with Ted. Ted is doing marvelous with a shy, fearful and untrained energetic pup. I'll be watching more of your utube videos. Thanks for sharing with the public. God bless, Barbara

    Well, this was very helpful and just taught me we have been doing almost everything wrong for the last 3 months since we got our first girly, and 2 weeks ago when we got our second..
    They are so smart and learned the general "sit, wait, eat, come, outside" commands quickly, but they destroy EVERYTHING!

    Thank you so much for your time, effort and explanations in these videos, it makes so much sense now.

    You have found a new subscriber! I appreciate the in-depth explanations that highlight the purpose and goal behind each type. Your energy and pertinent examples also really help your instructional effectiveness. (I'm a teacher.) Thank you for focusing on integrating your pup into the family, building the bond, and empowering them to thrive in a human environement. Too many people have unreasonable expectations for pets and simply do not do the work to set pups up for success. Well done!

    I’ve had dogs my whole life (I’m old) and have trained them fairly well. I happened upon this video and have always know that different dog toys are used for different reasons. However, I never thought about how much more effectively (and properly) they could be used for actual training. I highly recommend all dog owners to watch and USE these training methods!

    I cannot thank you enough for this video! I have ten toys out lying around and had no idea this was incorrect. I've just fostered a four to six month old rescue puppy. She's a jack Russell terrier mix (Singapore Special) so very intelligent and I've been tearing my hair out! Only had her for five days and I literally cried with frustration. She is stubborn, bites, jumps, rips stuff apart etc, even with three to four walks a day plus balcony play time. I'm now going to spend the day watching all of your videos... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    I am a new puppy owner and now a new subscriber. Thank you for your videos. I was doing the *"allow your dog access to the entire basket of toys"* thing and after about 2 weeks he was completely bored of them all and wanting to play only with me (without any toys). I noticed he started biting harder when playing. I have a lot of changes I need to make and I thank you for your videos!

    I learned a bad lesson years ago.NEVER buy stuffed animal toys/ plush for a dog EVER! My vet would ban them if he could. The fiber full is DEADLY! Even if they don't chow down on it, they can become deadly. My dog loved to rip them apart never eating the stuffing and making my yard look like I was growing fiber fill as a hobby. Little did I know he was getting small amounts in his stomach over the years. One day he stopped eating and drinking. The stuffing had accumulated in his gut, got infected and he was becoming septic. I tell everyone never buy these for your dog. Thankfully they now have them without the fiber fill. My dog survived without surgery and a week in the hospital and a $2,000 bill for ICU. So LOVE your idea to reach the dog it's alive and not kill it.

    • @Simpliyvonne
      @Simpliyvonne Před 5 lety

      Koakoa45 my dog loves his stuffed animals but I think I’m going to get rid of them because he does love to chew on them and I’m afraid he might choke since he loves to eat anything .

    This has been extremely helpful. Been looking for training videos for my pup, and by far this is the best channel. You have opened my eyes in some issues I've struggled with my Lab. Especially after hurting a long list of Mr. Toys. I realized he just wanted to devour the little squeaky thingy. They don't stand a chance with him. Hope I can re-train him.

  • @ildikobrunner6538
    @ildikobrunner6538 Před 4 lety +3

    Now that makes sense, thank you so much for this great info! My question is how to get a dog to engage in playing? My rescue is very motivated by food, but toys he can leave it or take it... not very interested at all, and I would love to get him moving more with some good old fashioned fetch.

    • @SimpawticoDogTraining
      @SimpawticoDogTraining  Před 7 lety +8

      Twice a day ought to be sufficient. There's not a hard and fast rule about how often, but you do a) want to end on a high note, and b) end it before they get tired of it (leave them wanting more) so I wouldn't do more than twice a day, for about three to five minutes at a time.

    Hey Ian, I found your channel a few days ago and its been a fantastic tool for teaching my dogie, as a first time dog owner (just adopted a six months old German shepherd dog) I don´t know what I would have done with out them keep doing what you do =)
    PD: does this mean I shouldn't let him play with the plushie at all? just look at it?

    • @SimpawticoDogTraining
      @SimpawticoDogTraining  Před 7 lety +6

      That's my recommendation. As always, your mileage will vary. If your dog can play with it without destroying it, no worries. If you start to see your dog dissecting it, time to reevaluate and teach them no to do that. Same with squeakers. My new dog came with some squeak toys and she's crazy for them. However, she's not destroying them at all. So even though I don't recommend squeakers in general, my own dog is fine with a squeak toy. Every case is unique, you know?

    I just discovered your channel. Great videos and great philosophy. Hopefully you can clear up a few points I am still not clear with. I watched chew toy training and this video on toys. In what situation are squeaking toys allowed? I am not clear on the plush toys. I understand teaching them not to destroy them. Do you ever allow the pooch to have a plush toy in their mouth? Fetch maybe? Otherwise I don't understand why they are even sold as dog toys. Thank you.

  • @Megan-oy6oo
    @Megan-oy6oo Před 7 lety +7

    you mentioned about teaching them the "rules" of the tug-a-war game, like not nipping your fingers, how exactly would we do that? my dog always does that!

    • @SimpawticoDogTraining
      @SimpawticoDogTraining  Před 7 lety +12

      Essentially it's really about setting your criteria and then sticking to it. If your dog nips your fingers, give them some INSTANT feedback like an "Ouch!" or a "Nope" or something, drop the toy, stand up, and walk away. The game's dead and over immediately. You could even put them in that 30 second instructive time out in a down stay. Or just walk away for a few minutes. You want your dog to think, "Well that sucked." You won't see it improve immediately, but rather gradually. Less and less as they figure out what the threshold is. As they get better, it's not necessary to always end the game, but make sure to always give FEEDBACK on it, good and bad. Good luck!

    • @tylercat6
