Barking- Episode 3 - barking on a walk -dog training

This is the third episode in the series of Barking. In this episode I will show you the beginning exercises on how to teach your dog not to bark on a walk. Stay tuned and Subscribe to see other exercises that are very useful for reactive dogs and dogs that are hyperactive. All these exercises benefit ANY dog, not just fearful, reactive or aroused dogs. These same exercises are GREAT for dogs with little impulse control, the kind of dog that wants to pull towards everything on a walk. ----------------------- When a dog becomes aroused or reactive, it is due to chemicals being released by the brain, effecting the dogs behavior. Not only does a dogs behavior change because of these chemicals and stress hormones, but their heart beat, respiration, and blood flow will change too. Jerking a dogs neck will not reduce these chemicals, instead it will INCREASE them. Barking can be reinforcing, so the more a dog is allowed to bark the more likely they will continue barking in the future. When you and your dog are surprised on a walk and your dog starts to bark, simply say "Let's Go" and move briskly in the opposite direction. You can use this cue whenever you change direction unexpectedly or need to move from an area that is causing your dog to be over their threshold. Here are some tips: 1-when on a walk cross the street to set your dog up for success 2-If you have a very fearful or reactive dog, simply change the direction of your walk when you see something your dog wont be able ...

  22. Pressure is reinforcing? Hardly. Pulling is often positively reinforced, but pressure as such is more of a positive punisher by nature. Except that a dog pulling on the lead quickly becomes desensitised to the pressure, hence quite easily also becoming indifferent to the supposedly reinforcing effect of reduced pressure.
    Negative punishment comes hand-in-hand with positive reinforcement, and there is nothing wrong with that. But negative reinforcement is something to be used with more care.

  23. Great video! Can you make a video that will help with dogs that bark for no apparent reason? Both my husband and I work full-time and recently getting complaints that my dog is barking constantly. There is no way that I can correct this when I'm at work. What can I do to have her stop barking when we are at work?

  24. Pure ignorance, there is nothing wrong with negative reinforcement or negative punishment etc, just accept when they are being used.

    Simply put there is pressure as the dog is pulling, which is a form of negative reinforcement, regardless of the fact that it is on a harness.

  25. There is nothing negative about a dog pulling on the lead when it's in a harness. If you jerk the leash, or use a choke chain, that's negative reinforcement. Simply waiting for the dog to choose not to pull on the chain and then rewarding, is not negative reinforcement, it's positive reinforcement. When the dog starts pulling on the lead, she distracts it, and then rewards the correct behaviour, positive reinforcement. If you don't understand you should read more about neg/pos reinforcement.

  26. Blahhhhhhhhhh

    Clueless as well, you said it yourself, Pressure on the lead is negative reinforcement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. A dog in a harness is not in discomfort when it pulls, using a choke chain would be a negative reinforcer, but this isn't. She's only using positive reinforcement, rewarding the dog when it releases the pressure on the lead. If a dog pulling on a lead was a negative reinforcer, you wouldn't need to train it not to pull, it would just stop pulling to stop the discomfort (such as when using a choke chain).

  28. Thanks Emily for this video. We've worked on part 1 of the exercise and my puppy has done so well.

  29. I started using Emily's methods 2 months ago on my 9yr old Kelpie and she can now do about 10 new amazing things!!

  30. This is how I feel with our French Bulldog. It's hard to find before and after videos of really reactive dogs. I am planning on making some videos with our Frenchie who barks and lunges towards EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE (fence, walk, patio, front window, tv)

  31. And your pure ignorance astounds me 

    ReplyDelete
  32. Your maturity astounds me.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Lmao you idiot! Any form of leash pressure is negative reinforcement, Exercise one release the pressure!!!!! Pressure is the key word here, Pressure is applied then pressure is released. Look up the definition of negative reinforcement then get back to me :-)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think you misunderstand the terms. There was no negative reinforcement used in this video. I suppose you could say she used negative punishment by not rewarding the dog for pulling toward the treat on the ground, but she did reward when he went back to her. But negative punishment often goes hand-in-hand with positive reinforcement. I don't know that Kikopup has ever said she ONLY uses "positive reinforcement," but she does use methods that do not physically/psychologically intimidate the dog.

  35. Lol you say that you only use R+, yet in this video you are using both R- and P-

  36. Hi, my spoodle puppy seems to bark at me or my other spoodle puupy at random times when I don't have the clicker. How do I stop it?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I have the same issue with my Yorkshire terrier mixed dog. I think this is a problem with the breed. I think it can be trained out but it will take 10 times more effort and time than a larger or more calm breed. Terriers are barkers

    ReplyDelete
  38. another huge thing, especially with my family of 7, the variability in the people who take the dogs on the walks is a big problem. myself, i do everything i can correctly while my siblings either don't walk them or let them bark, etc. without any commands to stop. its very frustrating.

  39. Hi our GSD has a hard time not barking and lunging when he goes closeish by other dogs on walks and in his training classes. The trainers dont seem to be able to do much about it as our dog is not very food orientated and hard corrections only do so much. Just seeing what your way of dealing with this would be. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  40. It sounds like your dog is barking out of boredom and frustration. Tying a dog out is bad idea, as the frustration the puppy feels when he wants something but has no way to get it, can cause negative associations. Instead of the clicker you can use a marker word such as "yes" and instead of treats you can use the puppy's food itself, though the training will go slower. GSDs need a great deal of mental stimulation and exercise, I hope you're up to the challenge.

  41. You are going above his threshold. "Lets go" is for management and prevents a dog from "losing it" and sending his training backwards. You need to start with the other dogs at a much greater distance until they are under his threshold and start your training there. Start conditioning your dog to enjoy seeing other dogs, and only when he reacts calmly and happily should you move closer to the other dog.

  42. Then you got lucky with a very tolerant dog. Dominance theory has no grounds in training, science has proven that dominance theory is false. Positive reinforcement is not all about the treats, it is about changing emotional responses to stimuli. If the dog feels good when it listens, it is more likely to listen again. If you want a dog who listens when you don't have treats, simply fade out the reward. There are quite a few videos on how to fade rewards, including one by kikopup.

    Im very sorry you are so close minded in training your dog.
    I have trained my dogs with positive reinforcement (aka love and hugs not only treats) and without being the 'alpha male'.My dogs listen to me no mater what.A couple of months ago, a glass bowl fell and my dog was surrounded by glass, I told him to stay.He stayed with 1 leg up in the air, didn't move for 2 mins until I could remove him from the situation. If I was an alpha, he would've been scared and gotten hurt.

  44. I don't think so. If you remain calm and lead your dog away with confidence, your dog can sense that and soon learn that there is nothing to be afraid of. Your dog should look at you for guidance; I think the only way for the dog to think you're also afraid of the other dog is if you start feeling panicked or scared.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Wow. It's a dog. Giving it treats is not taking control at all. You're losing the alpha-male status by giving the dog a treat for doing what you say. You're showing the dog it is equal to you in the hierarchy. The dog is saying to itself "All I gotta do is pretend this fool is in charge and he gives me treats."
    What happens when you give the command and you don't have treats? I don't have that problem. I give my dog a command and it does it, no treats needed. I'm in charge and my dog knows it.
