The One Event That Solves Most Dog Training Problems!

Thanks I needed that!

you are an awesome trainer!

Long time ago my first dog training instructor told us
All you need to know to successfully train your dog is Pavlovian conditioning response Just remember - klick then food = salivation
meaning - command, then action (Loring or mechanical ) = result
Nate. Thanks for your videos
They help a lot

The problem is my dog don’t even interested in the foods

I’m a little confused. I watch a lot of your videos and I love them but in the everything you need to know about training your dog video I thought you said teach the physical cue before the verbal. Now your saying to use the verbal first. Can you clarify?

what could be the longest period of time a dog could possibly need to learn a command, and what would be an average? how many weeks or months?

Such a great video. I love your content. It helps train dogs. What breeder did you get your lab at?? I am looking into getting a working line lab and yours is exactly what I would be looking for. Or any pointers on how to pick a working line lab breeder. Thanks!!!

I love watching these videos that visually reinforce what I am learning from you. Your explanations to people are clear and help remind me of nuances I have forgotten to incorporate. In my case, I need reinforcement of those details many times before they become "conditioned" within me. The more precise I am, the better my pup becomes. Thanks!

Even though I get these training session. I can still watch them . Great work as always. Apart of me want to become a professional dog trainer.

So much like training horses or any animals😊

This is one of the best videos on dog training I have seen in a ling time! So much good information here. This video alone should make you subscribe to this channel.

Frome Philippines 🎉😂

I guess not really related, but my Tizzy is pretty good at a lot of commands. I should figure out how to get some video. We have come a long way! I have a question about loose leash walking. Although we are better than we used to be, Tizzy still likes to trot ahead of me. Even if I catch up to her pace, she will trot faster to stay ahead of me. There are places that I was struggling with, near the library is one, so I have her sit, then release her, then sit or down and release. It sort of works to slow her down in that area. It's an area with lots of exciting smells, people and sometimes dogs. But for the rest of our walk, well, it's the same thing, she wants to trot ahead of me. What am I not seeing or doing? I see other dogs just walking along with a loose leash (I also see dogs who pull like crazy). I LOVE your videos and Bethany's too! They are SO HELPFUL!! Please give me some exercises to help with our walks. I also have a Klimb platform and a couple Cato boards, if those might help somehow...

Top trainer 👌

Woah 😲 Very insightful information. I have 2 American Akita's and I've learned so much from your videos.

I'm not convinced using Neg Reinf when they break command to put them back into it teaches them not to break command.

You're reinforcing the act of going into command, but it never teaches them not to break it in the first place.

Yes it's an aversive but it's actually just reinforcement like giving a treat.

Unless you're trying to use Neg Punishment to stop the breaking of position (because I just noticed you are using a non-reinforcement verbal). In that case for it to be successful the dog needs to actually want the reward, and most of these dogs don't really care. It would be clearer and quicker to use Pos Punishment. They would actually get a heck of a lot more treats if you just Pos Punished them so they stayed in position.

And if you use Pos Punish to teach stability (even during the teaching phase) it means instead of delivering the treat directly to their mouth (which is pretty boring for most dogs), you can make the reward event a huge production with movement and chasing treats and fun stuff and you don't need to be worried about them learning to break position in anticipation of reward. You teach them impulse control, and they have tonnes more fun in the process. Win win.

But these are just my thoughts. What do you think?

Golden info well said. Made it seem so simple. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Nate the great. We are going for the CGC. I'll bet we pass. 😊

Question...if my dog fails an off-leash come, and I say no (her positive punishment marker) and start walking to catch and correct her, but partway there she decides she's coming and starts running to me, how do I address that? She's four months old.

Makes me realize how messy I am witt my dog's training.👍

Just started watching your videos and I'm learning so much! I have a 6 month old GSD and I've been only using "Yes" as a marker and then treat and release, so no continuation marker. For instance, I put her on "place" and say Yes as soon as she has all 4 on, I'll say good girl periodically as she stays, and then say "OK" as her release word. Should I start teaching a continuation marker or would that confuse her?

Thank you. My dog pulls and he's 4 months. I've tried the turning the other direction numerous times to get him to pay attention to me and it has not worked. So I'll definitely do what you say to.

I wonder if he realizes he is going to go down in dog training history books I fully imagine in 20 years people will talk about Nate as though he is a og godfather of dog training lots of people are gonna be saying they’ve learned everything they know from him

If you haven’t already you should make a video specifically on negative reinforcement I’ve learned so much from u these last 2 years everyone around me thinks I’m an incredible trainer who has accomplished great things but I know the truth I’m missing the final step and I think that’s what it is

Why do you need to use leash pops?

This was the best video I have ever seen of real world training that shows how to consistently improve. I love that you are showing how to train the dog and the owner. This was such a great video! I just love how well I can connect to this for myself and my own dog. Thank you!!!

looking jacked bro! good work. and great lessons.

super

Much prefer oops to wrong:)
