    Playing Tug of War is an amazing game to play with your dog. Any game you can play with your dog helps improve your relationship and strengthen your bond. Tug can be an excellent reinforcer for good behaviour, so you can use it as a training tool. And, tug can be used to teach impulse control and a "drop" behavior.
    Unless it's taught and played correctly though, tug of war can reinforce pushiness and even potentially be dangerous. Therefore, it's very important to play it correctly.

    Immediately!!! Positive reinforcement training should be started immediately.

    Thanks! In the past the only way I've gotten a dog to drop it in tug of war was to try and pet him on the back of the head. He thinks you are about to attack him on the back of his neck (like dogs in play will do). He will always drop it but immediately afterwards may try to bite you in defense. This video is obviously a far better approach

    My dog loses interest in the toy when she knows that I have a treat in the pouch. She quits playing and just begs for the treat.

    • @whenhoundsflyonline
      @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 9 lety +13

      After the initial Drop/Treat, many food motivated dogs will ignore the tug and stare at your hand waiting for a treat. This is where you have to put the treats away and try to excite them again with good tug puppetry. Persist. The dog will eventually realize treats are not available and return to the toy. After a while, a food motivated dog learns that to get more treats, he must tug.

      Treatpouch.com I gave it a try - and persisted and it worked just like you said. Thanks!

  • @whenhoundsflyonline
    @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 11 lety +2

    Good question. In my experiene if a dog nicks my hands, I usually still have possession of the toy. In which case I just say "too bad" and put the toy away.
    In the event a dog nicked my hand and managed to get possession of the toy, I would stop tugging for sure and do whatever I needed to to get it back (including drop). If a dog does that too much I would suggest being more careful with playing so he can't bite skin and also scam the toy next time.

  • @whenhoundsflyonline
    @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 11 lety +2

    In a Rooney and Bradshaw's 2001 study, "An experimental study of the effects of play upon the dog-human relationship", they concluded that dominance-dimensions of the dog-human relationship were unaffected by the outcome of repetitive tug-of-war games. Meaning, please be quiet and move on, troll.

  • @MagmaSedusa
    @MagmaSedusa Před 11 lety

    You CAN actualy "read" a dog's stame of mind...but I agree with the rest that you said...I dont believe tugging is bad as long as your dog doesnt have aggressive isues...then it must be controlled very carefully!

  • @pkim84
    @pkim84 Před 11 lety +1

    Hey, great video!
    I just had a quick question. The last part, "Teeth? No, thanks", you advise that the owner ends the game if the dog bites skin/clothing by accident or intentionally. Would you end the game by saying, "drop"? And if so, wouldn't this confuse my dog into thinking that she did something correctly?

  • @amEAGLEBABY5
    @amEAGLEBABY5 Před 11 lety

    Cesar did say it was not a good idea & i stop playing it with my puppy for a minute.but its only bad for dogs with possessiveness/aggression...this is the correct way to play it without inducing aggression. the dog must earn the game by obeying commands...so its okay if you know how to play it correctly...

  • @whenhoundsflyonline
    @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 11 lety

    ONe question.. When do you start playing again if your dog accidentally touches you or bites? 5 min? or inmediatley

  • @whenhoundsflyonline
    @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 11 lety +2

    You are confusing opinions and facts. An opinion would be "Do I look fat?" or "Is it warm today?". My response to that rather ignorant comment was about facts. Tug of war causes aggression is an incorrect fact, no different than someone saying The Earth is flat and the sun revolves around the Earth. That is not opinion, that is just ignorance.

  • @mowaness
    @mowaness Před 11 lety +2

    Studies have shown that the methods cesar millan uses are not the best methods for training. Your dog is not sitting there plotting to take over the world (dominance)
    Pushing a dog to the ground when it gets excited is NOT calming. It is infact stressing the dog out more. Their bodies release cortisol and they freeze in hope that you leave them alone. Next time you tell a trainer they are wrong it pays to actually understand the psychology of dogs instead of believing everything you see on tv.

    • @unaestrella1876
      @unaestrella1876 Před 4 lety

      That's what I think. However, I think his methods are suitable for dogs with aggression and behaviour issues. Not dogs that don't have aggression.

  • @Rainy333
    @Rainy333 Před 11 lety

    When rehabilitating dogs you need calmness and trust. When training a dog you want them to sometimes be exited. Millan knows this, and you should too. He is not a dog trainer, and I haven't heard him state that he is. Also, even Millan plays with dogs. If you never play and have fun, what's the point in having a pet? I hope you one day can see the good parts of both sides :)

    Our German Shepard (female, almost 3 years old) is so 'prey driven', that she seems to not care about the treats. She just want to keep fetching the ball, finding the toy, playing 'tug of war'......... Any suggestions?

    • @MarcelaZurli
      @MarcelaZurli Před 6 lety +3

      You can teach her with 2 balls. You throw a ball and when she brings the ball say "drop it" and wait until she releases. When she let go of the ball, you can throw the other one you have. When she knows how to release you start using the tug of war. And to teach her to be pacient you can do the same thing he does in the video but with the ball. 😉 Just be patient and persistant.

    • @DougHinVA
      @DougHinVA Před 6 lety

      MS your dog is not YOU! Your dog is a GSD and was developed over many generations to do and BE something special: a protector, retriever, tugger, etc. You are trying to make the dog be something it is not because you want something different. YOU took the dog as its owner. IWN and protect and care for the dog as it is.

  • @MagmaSedusa
    @MagmaSedusa Před 11 lety

    I think you dont quite understand Cezar's methods...I think he is brilliant too but he doesnt say "dont play tug with your dog" he says "dont play tug with your dog if its aggressive towards humans or other dogs".There is a difference between those two...

    How would you stop the game, if the dog is biting you and the toy at the same time?

    • @whenhoundsflyonline
      @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 10 lety

      Hey your dog would need two heads to do that. How can a mouth be biting your hand and also still biting the toy. Not possible.

    • @jonathanmllernielsen1399
      @jonathanmllernielsen1399 Před 10 lety +1

      Treatpouch.com While playing the dog can miss its target (the toy) and bite you fingers and then instantly bite the toy again?

    • @whenhoundsflyonline
      @whenhoundsflyonline  Před 10 lety +2

      Jonathan Møller Nielsen I don't think I mentioned it in the video, but I always recommend always applying a "pull" pressure on the tug. That way, if the dog attempts to climb up the rope and bite my hand, he has to release the rope to try and bite up to my hand. But, if I am always applying a pull to the rope, if the dog attempts to climb the rope to bite my hand, the toy is then lost as I pull it up and back. By doing this, attempts to climb the rope to bite my hand are negatively punished by a loss of the toy. That's what I do, so I never have an issue with any dog biting my hand during tug. The dog learns to bite and hold the rope hard or else they lose it. Attempts to bite hand cause a loss of the toy.

    My dog doesnt stop growling , if I drop the toy he takes it away and doesnt let me take it (doesnt play tug of war he protects it).. When he realise that im not interested in chasing him and toy he brings it back to my hand to play tug of war , is this good or bad ? What should i do , for now im gonna teach him to drop :) PS sry for my English ..

    • @sini4kettu
      @sini4kettu Před 6 lety

      Not so, Carlos. If the dog comes back when the owner shows no interest in the toy, it is the starting point for training a drop it behavior.

    @sacdogtrainer Před 11 lety

    If this were true, then wouldn't we see a disproportionate level of aggression in dogs that compete in agility and other sports where tug is routinely used as a reward? And no matter how brilliant you believe CM to be, no one can read a dog's state of mind, so we must rely on all that pesky science to tell us what is and is not aggression...and what does and does NOT elicit aggressive behaviors. There's a whole lot of information about dog behavior beyond your television set! Check it out!

  • @pinkydibs

    You are lying, not entirely, but your "take it" concept is too fragile. Improve your skills first then try to demonstrate and even before that increase your experience with animals.
