    ►►Stay Command:
    Once your dog knows all the leash-pressure cues, you can now start using it for your stays. Place your dog in a position of your choice. When your dog breaks that position, you will calmly say “wrong,” casually walk to your dog, grab the leash and use the leash-pressure to place your dog back into the position that was just broken. Once your dog is back in the desired position you will praise and pet your dog (petting is optional), but don’t give your dog a treat or toy reward. The reason for this, is that some dogs will break the position on purpose, so they can get the reward when placed back into the stay position.
    You must say “wrong”, or whatever word you choose, the moment (first second) your dog breaks the position, and you only say “wrong” once for each offense-even if it takes you a few minutes to get your dog back to the position that they just broke. You will continue to do this step until your dog either stops moving or goes back to the position they just broke on their own after you say “wrong.” This will prove to you that your dog knows what is expected, and that your dog knows how to turn off pressure by complying. Once your dog shows you this behavior, you can then (if you choose) use corrections (positive punishment) for reliability.
    As a side note: when teaching a stay, we do not say "stay," the stay is implied when you put your dog into a commanded position. However, some people feel more comfortable saying the word “Stay”. If that’s the case with you, feel free to use the word as it won’t negatively impact the training.
    When I place a dog into the stay command, I have three ways of releasing them from the stay.
    • One: we can use our release word. For my dogs that word is "break".
    • We can use our terminal marker which predicts release and reward. For my dogs that word is "free".
    • Lastly, we can give the dog a new command, such as "come" or "heel”.
    I’m often asked how I teach my dogs the release word “Break”. You can introduce the (release) word the same way you introduced the terminal marker. The only difference is that the release word doesn't always predict a reward like the terminal marker does. You can also say the release word and then follow it with verbal praise and excitement. I’ll also squat down when I praise to encourage the dog to come to me. This quickly teaches a dog the release word.
    We can also use leash pressure to help teach our dog what behaviors are not acceptable, as explained earlier in the manual. For example: let’s say you don’t want your dog to be on your bed. When your dog jumps up on the bed, you can say “wrong” or “off” and then use the leash pressure to remove the dog from the bed. This is an easy way to teach your dog boundaries without having to implement positive punishment.

    Thank you very much for another good video.
    In previous videos I do not remember you mentioning the release word “break”, only in passing through doors with retriever puppy.
    I always used the release marker “free” instead of “break”.
    Where they differ is not much clear to me.
    Could you please give an example of where to use free and break?

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks! Just think about what the word predicts and that makes the use much easier. I use "free" as my terminal marker and this always predicts release and reward. So if I say "free" to my dogs, I pay them with the primary reward. The "break" is a release word and not a marker. Break only predicts release. I use this when my dog is in a stay and I want to release them without rewarding them. I hope that helps and thanks again for commenting and supporting the channel! Cheers! :)

    Great video! My pup is not quite at this point yet. However could you make a video about getting a puppy comfortable around children? Today is day 2 with my 10 week old puppy and when my kids get a little loud she barks and growls at them.

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety

      Thanks! In the meantime try this, it's from version 3 of my manual. (not released yet) Confidence building helps prevent a dog from having fear issues, but what if those issues are already present in our dog? This is when we use counterconditioning and desensitization. Counterconditioning is very similar to confidence building, but the main difference is that we use counterconditioning to help a dog overcome something they may be afraid of.
      For example, your dog is afraid of the vacuum cleaner:
      • Expose the dog to the vacuum cleaner while it’s turned off.
      • Reward the dog with high value rewards just for being comfortable with the vacuum cleaner. The dog will start to associate the vacuum cleaner with high value rewards.
      • Start moving the vacuum cleaner around the carpet (turned off). Again, reward the dog for behaving and being comfortable, but not if they’re barking at it.
      • Turn the vacuum cleaner on, then off, treating it like a marker. Reward the dog.
      • Keep turning it on and off, and eventually leave it on, and reward the dog. Now, the dog will no longer associate the vacuum cleaner negatively at all. You can also simulate the sound on your phone. Starting at a low volume and gradually increasing it as the dog becomes more confident.
      Here’s another few examples: When I'm training a sports protection dog, they have to become desensitized to gunshots, because one of the exercises requires the dog to bite the decoy (person in bite suit) while the decoy is firing a blank pistol. We do this by first firing the blank pistol at a distance that doesn't trouble the dog. As the dog becomes more comfortable with the sound, we slowly, over time (could be weeks or even months), bring the gunshots closer and closer to the dog, until the dog isn't bothered by it at all. Keep in mind that each dog will take a different amount of time to learn a new behavior or increase in confidence.
      I had a dog that I was working with a few years back that was terrified in public, and in two weeks I was able to fix the issue. Here's what I did with that dog using a combination of desensitization and counter conditioning: First I ONLY fed the dog and did obedience outside of the house. The first day I was in my front yard training, as the days progressed, I slowly moved to more locations with slightly more activity. As the dog's confidence continued to go up, we went to even more locations with more activity. By the second week I was doing obedience with the dog inside of a local Home Depot and a Petsmart. It's important to keep in mind that I did not feed the dog in the house where the dog was comfortable. I wanted the dog to associate the public locations with the pleasant experience of training and food rewards.
      The idea is to be on the same team as your dog, rather than having a relationship based on fear, or the belief that the owner needs to be the "alpha".

    Great video as always Nate, thanks so much for doing these! Question for you. When teaching the down stay, let's say the dog breaks it and moves toward me. I correct with the down command, and my puppy instantly goes into the down (he knows the verbal command very well). He is now in a different position than I put him originally. Do I need to move him back on the platform or should I reward him, or do something else?

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety +1

      I like to put the pup back in the location that the puppy broke from. If you are running into issues, then you can train it the way I did with Harley. Say "no" or "wrong" or whatever word you choose then reinforce the command. You can see the stay with Harley here: czcams.com/video/s5iD8eN89bo/video.html

      Instead of saying "stay" before you walk away, just tell the dog the commanded position that you would like them to be in or to maintain. So if I halted and my dog sat in heel position, I would then say "sit" and walk away, just confirming to the dog what you would like them to do. Cheers!

A few 15 minute walks, teach fEtch/tug INSIDE!! Crate train, name, recall all inside to start until known while your teaching your markers yes/no/good. TEACH your dog the RULES...keep a leash on it for the first year....teach an "easy" or "gentle" command as well in your first month!! frozen kongs are great! Enjoy an hang in there....the first 6-8 months can feel overwhelming...keep calm and chip along!! You decide EVERYTHING!!

      2. Yes. :)
      3. If you want to get paid for training dogs, then your main target market would be for pet dogs. However, training service dogs for people in need and not charging is a very noble thing to do and it'll increase your dog training skills. If you want to get paid for training service dogs then you would need to work at a place that trains service dogs or get paid by someone to train their service dog.

      It's easiest if you just think about what each word predicts. These are the words that I use and what they predict.
      Yes = Reward
      Free = Release and Reward
      Break = Release

    Hey Nate what are some confidence building exercises for Malinois specific, that help increase attention and motivation and reduce the fear of being punished for bad behaviour?

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety +1

      An easy way to look at confidence-building is to take something that the dog may be unsure about and make it predict something pleasant instead. For example: Let’s say you want to get your dog comfortable with different sounds, so you fill an empty kiddie pool with empty plastic bottles for the puppy / dog to play with. At first, the puppy or dog may be hesitant about the situation, but if you show the puppy or dog that it’s fun by either getting in the pool first or luring the puppy or dog into the pool, they will soon discover that it’s a fun activity and the puppy or dog will associate the sound of the plastic bottles with fun (this is something a lot of protection dog trainers will do with their puppies because some protection sports, they will use what’s called a bottle curtain, which is basically a bunch of empty plastic bottles hanging from a pole in a curtain-like fashion that the dog will have to run through.) Simply put, it’s about constantly exposing your dog to new things and making those activities pleasant by predicting something the dog enjoys.
      Below are some confidence building exercises that I like to do with puppies and dogs that I work with.
      • Having the dog walk on multiple surfaces while giving the dog treats. An example could be having the dog walk on bubble wrap or a gym floor.
      • Having the dog walk on elevated surfaces while providing rewards. Making sure the dog won’t fall and get hurt, which could have the opposite effect.
      • Playing tug and always allowing the dog to win. If I want the toy from the dog, I always use the “drop it” command. I never physically take the toy away by ripping it from the dog.
      • Exposing the dog to different sounds while providing rewards. Starting at a low volume and increasing as the dog becomes more comfortable.
      • Taking the dog to different environments for training. This is part of socialization.
      • Create a puppy or dog obstacle course.
      These are just a few examples, but you can see how the process works. Try being creative when doing confidence building exercises with your dog.

      @huncho2824 Před 3 lety

      My man, thanks for the response
      I already started incorporating obstacle exercises into training regiment once I noticed she started doing the commands due to fear and not motivation. Now it’s at a point where she jumps on walls and over fences without me giving any command, she do be a bit crazy sometimes.. When doing some bite work training I always let her win, once she really starts giving the effort to take the toy from me and I also started giving her way more praise for the smaller things. It’s a good analogy you used with training your super dog like in the movie Bolt.
      She still however picks up on some wrong signals from me where she thinks she’ll get punished and therefore shows symptoms of fear. For example there are instances where a simple “no" or walking at a certain location already drastically decrease her ability to perform.
      Any way to fix that?

You can do a few super short trainings to show that obedience is required all the time. Since I am home more now, I do 4 or 5 sessions of 10 to 15 minutes and if I can break for long enough I do 30 minutes straight to do longer items. Like stay in this video. Its boring to do long stays but its necessary, and I even do it when we are out on walks.

    Hey a little off topic here but, if a dog know it has to go to the door to go to the bathroom, buts starts going to the door just to grab a stick or run around and come back in, should we do the technique we’re we put him in his kennel then take him out back out, or just keep letting him do it? ( he does still occasionally have accidents when some one can’t get to the door in time he is still a puppy) I want to let him play out side but it seems like I’m reinforcing a bad behavior when I think he has to go to the bathroom so I let him out just for him to grab a stick and come back in

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety

      Yes. Great question. I would train it like my potty training video. When he asks to go out, I would put a leash on and walk him to the potty location. If he successfully goes potty, then he should be rewarded, perhaps taken on a walk or playing fetch. We try to reinforce that the bathroom break leads to more fun activities.
      If the puppy doesn't go, then he or she is brought back to the crate. We wait 20 minutes, then repeat the process.
      This will teach him that if he indicates that he needs to go outside, then it needs to be for potty, not play. Once he goes potty, then he can play.

    I notice you release him with “break”. I’ve been teaching the terminal marker “okay”. If I have my pup in a climb position, working on stays, would it be wrong to release him with the terminal marker, after already rewarding with the continuation marker?

    I have a question.
    My dog always runs away from her harness.
    When we need to put it on her for walks.
    This has been going on for a long time and I’m honestly sick of it
    I do not know why she does this because she seems to always enjoy our walks
    I have tried to train her not to do this by luring her to me with treats sometimes she will walk up to me and get the treat but as soon as I pick up the harness she runs after a few minutes we are able to get the harness on her but it takes sometime.
    Do you know why she does this?
    Or how to fix it?

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety

      This is something I would consider using leash pressure to fix and eventually a correction if needed. Put the leash and collar on and use the leash pressure to make her sit. If she breaks the sit, say one "wrong" or whatever word you choose, use the leash pressure to reinforce the commanded position. Make her maintain the sit or a stand command while you put the harness on. Each time she breaks, use the process explained above. Once she knows the command, you can say no when she breaks and uses a leash pop on the training collar to correct the bad behavior. I discuss this in more detail in my training manual. You can get it here free until 3/6/21: amzn.to/2P2tyQH

    I’m going to rephrase my follow-up question again since you haven’t replied yet.
    My dog expresses confidence in most playing activities. However she still picks up on some wrong signals from me in some scenarios, where she thinks she’ll get punished and therefore shows symptoms of fear. For example there are instances where a simple “no" or walking at a certain location already drastically decrease her ability to perform and focus.
    Any way to fix that?

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety

      Not sure what question you're referring to, since I respond to every question.
      Make sure the words that you use always predict the same thing. If you use "no" as a conditioned correction. Meaning it predicts a correction, then you should use a different word for a non-reinforcement marker. If you say "no" and your dog thinks she's going to get corrected, then she'll act that way.
      • Non-Reinforcement Marker: This is a signal for negative-punishment; which means withholding the reward from your dog until your dog does the behavior correctly. This is for mistakes. Your dog must understand that they can make a mistake and try again.
      Hope this helps! Cheers! :)

      Try using his kibble. Hand feed him his food instead of the food bowl. Do it while touching him and gradually work your way up so that he gets his food when he's picked up by you. I think several sessions of this should make a difference.

    • @NateSchoemer
      @NateSchoemer  Před 3 lety +2

      First, make sure he doesn't have any medical issues or unknown injuries. Sometimes when a dog's behavior changes overnight, then it could be caused by some discomfort. If it's not an injury or medical issue, then you can try what Amir suggested. Use counter conditioning and make it a training exercise. I discuss this a little in version 3 of my manual. If you email me, I'll send you a copy. Cheers! NateSchoemer@gmail.com
