Happy Training!
Constant sniffing is Not good.
My dog is completely uninterested in treats or food when outside. I can get the training to work well indoors but the moment she steps outside she turns away from food that she loves inside. Especially if she sees another dog, she obsesses over the other dog
Great video. Carol, you're an awesome trainer.
Such a helpful video! I like how you explained what to do and the thought behind it when things were not perfect because that is really how things happen. Thank you so much! :)
Please demo training using big dogs. 70, 80, 90lbs.
Also, older and teenaged dogs would be helpful!
Thanks.
Yes plz
My dog looks exactly like Scout! And we have the SAME issue with his keen sense of smell and mastering leash walking. Thanks so much for this!
❤️ watching your videos. They are so informative and detailed. Working with service dogs, your teaching technics are gold!
This is amazing application of positive reinforcement!! Brilliant!!
This was a great video! It broke it down in a way that was clear to understand and know when to reward and click, as well as avoid any miscommunication between my dog and I. Going to use this to practice nose up, as I'd like to eventually transition into a competition focused heel.
Great video, great trainer!!
I love the way Carol explains things! 😊
Thanks for the video. My dog often has his nose glued to the ground and does not pay attention to anything else around him. Incredibly frustrating. I'm going to try the lessons here and see if I can get him to focus better.
Great video. You mentioned the problem that I have too. Thanks.
Can I ask what might turn out to be a really dumb question, but - why stop your dog from using his nose on walks? I own a cocker spaniel and he just LOVES to get sniffin' and follow the scents which he comes across on our walks. It's like his raisin d'etre, I wouldn't dream of standing in the way of that. I always understood that smell is a dog's most important sense - more so even than sight..?
Just a viewer, but at the beginning of the video she mentioned this is for obsessive sniffing. Sometimes we need the dogs attention and we don't have it when their nose is glued to the ground.
@@doomgrave1 right such as being aware of their surroundings.
My dog is constantly grabbing and food and trash off the ground like he don't eat at home! Hopefully this technique will help so he doesn't get sick.
As a beagle owner, this will be entertaining.
Yah we had one years ago. Nose always to the ground. We had to return her after a few weeks.
@@derfskittlers6125 you returned a dog like a toy that disappointed you?
@@UnknownChimera I'm hoping there's more to it than just a beagle being a beagle.
As a beagle parent nose to the ground is normal. I couldn’t imagine not allowing them being themselves. Looks like you didn’t do your homework on the breed. Beagles are scent hounds, sniffing nose to the ground is a natural act. The difficulty is training them not to grab and eat things on walks. They’re quick to swallow anything tasty to them.
A beagle is bred to have his nose down and hunt. That is what they are supposed to do. If you dont want a dog that does that dont buy a scent hound breed.
McCann dog training, happy new year, your advice are very useful because I am planning to own a puppy a few years later, he he.
Hello! Amazing info! Thank you! What we should do though if we leave in an apartment? I have to take my dog on walk on a leash every day even if it just for her to use the bathroom, at least 4 to 5 times a day even before her behavior is corrected. So the moment we go outside her nose is on the floor most of the time, even after she uses the bathroom, trying to play with leaves and sticks and she wont pay attention to me. Thanks again
What a sweetheart! Great video
Great technique. By using a bowl, are you also training for meal time waiting while also teaching not to smell everything?
This is exactly how we taught our puppy to wait at mealtime. It literally only took 2 sessions with the leash to get him to wait for a release word to eat rather than diving in. This technique works very well.
Thank you so much 🐾
I have a dog that looks like that and it is a breed of black mouth cur known for hunting and tracking prey. It was my mistake to rescue this dog as it is very difficult to control on a leash even after training. We will need all the help we can get to change this hunting dog into a lap dog. That's the goal and we'll probably come somewhere in the middle and be happy with that because she is extremely smart like all dogs and the owner just needs training. Thank you for this tips and helps that you give us
What do you suggest when your dogs sniffs something and tenses up to stay and sniff instead of listening to come or leave it?
my exact problem 🤦♂️
Yep same 😭
i had kinda this problem with my younger rottie but she just grew out of it eventually, having another dog on the walks helped with that as she was way more focused on my other dog than with excessive sniffing around and picking stuff off the floor, i still have some trouble when offleash if she smells something she likes like food she fixates on that to the exclusion of everything else, she just freezes the rest of the world out and is fixed on the food untill she gets it. I do have commands for stop which work the rest of the time but the problem is, they should work all the time but when she fixates on something there is nothing else in the world that matters, im thinking of getting an ecollar for that, so she can be off leash and i can take my mind off her in that regard at least...
I have an eight month old female and she basically does the same with sniffing and picking things up occasionally. Usually it’s an empty bottle or something so I sometimes let her keep it. I do have an e collar and let me tell you when she is really focused on something it really doesn’t stop her. She just ignores it and I have to physically go and get her. I don’t want to crank the collar up too high so at a certain point if she’s not responding I just go get her. Honestly I have one with a vibrate function and that works better for her. She doesn’t like the vibration at all. Many people will say negative things about them but just make sure you train her on it before using it as a negative reinforcement. My dog loves to wear hers and she knows it time to go outside when I grab it she gets excited. Good luck!
@@Smuvbee74 thanks for the advice, i will wait on my ecollar for a while as it turns out she needs to get spayed anyway so i will have to wait for that anyway, as there will be no training during recovery. Im interested to see if her demeanor will change at all due to the operation before i go in and make changes. Im not the kind of guy that does things impulsively, i tend to educate myself on the subject with at least some basic knowledge on the matter before i go and make a change, even if its just a small one. My older dog was trained with a vibrating collar, she dislikes the vibrations too so we really didnt have to crank it up at all since the initial setting, so low i could barely feel it, was enough for her to snap her out of prey drive and had her look at me for guidance right away but i dont think it would work like that on the younger dog, that one has a stronger focus, not as strong prey drive as the older one but she quite makes up for that with her focus and ability to fixate on things without caring for the world at all, im quite sure that she would need stronger vibrations, pretty sure she would not care if a hammer pops up out of the collar and smacks her across the head, so low vibrations aint really gonna do it for her
By denying the chance of sniffing the ground, don't you get a stressed dog? Sniffing helps relaxation and brain stimulation. There are other ways to get your dog's attention.
I don’t think the point of this is to completely prohibit, rather than to gain control of your dog. I have issues with my dog walking nose down ALL the time, she’s a hunting dog. I’m working on training her and she gets multiple sniff breaks throughout the walk. But for her safety and mine, she should be paying attention to her handler while walking.
I live in a city area and my dog is CONSTANTLY sniffing. It makes it difficult to control whether or not she eats anything, as she’s already swallowed it by the time i notice her pull something up from under the grass. I let her sniff in areas I know are safe, but I don’t trust there not to be poop or grass at every corner.
You can give breaks to your dog to sniff, which is totally a normal behaviour and beneficial to the dog. Constant sniff is the problem. It’s up to the owner to decide when it’s time for a break to sniff and be a dog.
I'm curious if this method would work with a dog who will leave a bowl of food on the ground until given a release word, no matter how bad they want it? Or what else can be used?
well, some ppl said tbe gentle leash is really bad for the dog, bcoz they block all the nerve , is that true?
Love your videos. I have a 3 month old Pinscher puppy and we just started taking him out for walks (after vaccinations, etc). Walks are pretty chaotic and I mean he sniffs everything, stops all the time, pulls the leash etc. I understand he is a puppy and its somehow his way of interacting with the world. But Im wondering if I can start with this kind of training or he is stil too young?
I have a 4 month old pup I'm trying to break of grabbing everything on the ground (and in the house). He will try to get anything that's not nailed down, whether its a gum wrapper outside or my glasses in the house. Thanks for the tips
Training a very solid leave it cue and putting that desire to dig/shred/chew/sniff into something else such as shredding paper/ snuffle mat/ frozen dinner/ etc will help that tremendously. It’s normal for puppies and dogs to want to be destructive, so rather than trying to stop it all together give them an appropriate way to do so:)
Isnt some sniffing good for dogs? How do we teach them that balance
Mine can walk next to me or can go on a sniffing adventure. He never fully ignores me but I do let him sniff around. Otherwise what’s the point?
I have a reactive pitbull mix who's constantly got her nose to the ground. But she's so strong that we need a harness with two leashes to properly control her and ensure she doesn't somehow take off by tearing off both loops when she sees another dog. How can I teach her to not keep her nose on the ground if I can't direct her head with the leash?
Prong collar
You might try having the leash attached to the harness and a gentle leader on the muzzle. That way you can control your pups head movement.
Those dogs are low to the ground and strong. If a choke collar doesn't work then you really need a prong collar. Or e-collar. Those harness are hard to use on pits.
harness will encourage pulling. you really need a prong collar
Do we have the same dog? Lol My female pit has to sniff EVERYTHING and tries to pull me. I'm always around she's going to break her leash from her harness and get hit by a car.
Can you teach a leave it verbal cue instead?
The real problem is my puppy is always taking commands if she knows I have food in my hand but if there's no food she will ignore everything, Anyway my puppy is 2 months old. Can anyone give me an advice? specially she's always biting anywhere and also my hand while playing
Replace your hand immediately with a chew toy. If one isn't around then pull away and stop playing for a few seconds. They will figure it out.
No reason to already fade out treats with a 2 month old puppy. You can put food in your pocket and reward every time your pup does something you like so they don't know when they are going to get a reward but associate you with food even when you have no food in your hands
What does this do to a bird dog? I want my Brittany to hunt, she constantly his sniffing the ground and air. I don’t want to break that, but I don’t want her picking up and swallowing dead mice she finds either.
Sorry, my dog likes to check out the hood on her daily patrol. Sniff away lucie!
My pup sniffs everything and completely ignors her favorite treats. I haven't found anything that's more rewarding than sniffing, even indoors. 😕
My dog is not food motivated at all and her preference is dogs and people. Puppy classes were difficult until the trainers realised themselves that Daisy did not want food! Finding something that Daisy really wants, food or treat wise, has been difficult. And she loves sniffing around outside and is quite stubborn when she finds something that smells really interesting! Hopefully as our pups get older they will calm down and react less to outside smells 🤞🤔
@Claire Baldwin My pup is the same and it is very challenging!! I've been asked by trainers a million times what treats I use, but all treats/food are all low value to her. I would be very excited to see tips about working with a dog that is not food motivated. It would be such a help!!
Small balls of raw mince and cheese. Don't know whether its unethical but I train on an empty stomach before breakfast
Not always food. A favorite toy work best sometimes.
My dog sniffs everything, he loves it & is his favourite part about walks/LIFE therefore I would never stop him, his walks are for him and not me 🤷♀️
One thing I have noticed with this channel is that they never teach what's wrong. They only praise for doing right.
It's like telling your kid that has a tendency to steal cars that it's more fun to play video games. Never telling them that stealing cars is wrong.
It's because that's how positive reinforcement works. You're teaching the dog that making a better decision = more rewards. Making a bad decision = nothing. I probably wouldn't relate a human concept to dogs though. They certainly can't steal cars or play video games 😅
@@pixeldogz The can attack kids and jump on you while you're driving. If you don't teach dog wrong, how will you ever know they won't do those things? They are an animal after all.
Another great video!’n
What about if you have a Hound? There natural instinct is to smell.
I have a rescue transylvanian scent hound , you could wave a 4lb steak at her and she would still choose chasing the scent of rabbits etc. She is almost in a trance , listens to nothing
I can never understand why people think that sniffing is negative/bad behaviour especially in a breed that’s developed for this behaviour. Add to that, that this dog is also sensory deprived it’s like forcing a deaf person to cover their eyes!🙄
Agree it's there walk so let then sniff
I understand your opinion, but the technique is to get the dog to focus on you and check in with you before making a decision. It also helps teach them impulse control which is critical. Lunging at bushes seems harmless, but it can eventually turn into lunging at people, other dogs and even cars.
Sniffing while on walks is fine, but excessively sniffing to the point where they ignore you and the rules of the leash, it turns into an issue. Dogs crave leadership, and with leadership means having rules and waiting for permission via verbal queues/release (or in this dogs case; physical).
@@jaysage6252 fun police 🚨
Dogs need to know when they are allowed to sniff just in case they start sniffing dangerous items. Just like a blind person needs someone to let them know what’s dangerous and what’s not. If you’re blind or even deaf, and you start sniffing a funny smell (could be some dangerous gas in the house) and you have no way of identifying it or if someone hasn’t told you that it’s dangerous, you’d most likely walk towards it right?
I don’t think they’re saying sniffing is negative or bad, they’re just trying to reach out how to train dogs and puppies when to listen when you’re on walk, especially if the dog is deaf, they don’t hear cars coming and what if they start sniffing something nearby the road or even in the middle of the road? You can’t control them and they start chasing after that scent?🤷🏻♂️
I think everyone is totally over thinking this 😉
VVVVVVAAAAAAALLLUUUUEEEEEEE
I wish my 50kg johnson american bulldog would listen on her walks too. LOL 🙏🙏
Same as my bullmastiffxpitty mix!
😎👍
How to stop your dog from wanting to be a dog..
My dog is not an obsessive sniffer, but when I take him for a walk, I let him sniff wherever and whatever he wants...because it's HIS walk...and that's how dogs socialize and communicate with each other. He'll sniff another dog's scent and then leave a 'calling card' for another dog to sniff.
I'll also let him choose where he wants to walk. Sometimes he wants to go on one street and next time, he wants to go on another...I would imagine to smell new scents. He seems to be very happy with this routine.
If I want to go on a brisk, uninterrupted walk, I'll either go by myself or with a human friend who doesn't need to stop to sniff anything. 🤣🤣
If you had an obsessive sniffer i don't think you'd be saying the same thing, and walks are obviously for the dog but the human must always be in control
You can train a dog to do anything but if you walk the dog for his benefit sniffing is just being a dog. Is what dog do, is part of their lives. Relax and let the dog have a good time sniffing.
Exactly! It’s how they experience the world. But if the sniffing is obsessive, the walk isn’t pleasant for the walker.
Some dogs are obsessive about it. If he stays to long, I tell him to leave it and he does.
Dogs need both sniffy walks and structured walks
My dog will drag me if I allow that constantly. We take sniff breaks where she can have more leash for that on a stretch of grass then back to walk.
And/or use a muzzle to keep it safe from dangerous things he could eat.
First
So unnatural to try to prevent dog from sniffing
Preventing and monitoring are different, that's not what she is saying here dumb dumb
Try that with a dog thats not food motivated 😂😂😂
Hey there! We just uploaded a new video about how to get your dog excited to learn and motivated by food. Check it out: czcams.com/video/6zNdxFEPRBk/video.html
