This is a great example of a great dog owner who is willing to take the time, pay the the trainer and maintain a happy dog
ReplyDelete8-) very nice compared to a few other demonstrations that were rather shocking and didn't to have any compassion for the dogs pain/anxiety.
It will work with any dog. My Airedale (!!)has HUGE black nails. We are steadily making progress with nail trims.
ReplyDeleteIf only it would work with my Basset Hounds who have big strong nails and don't like their feet touched!
ReplyDeleteThank You for posting this video! Im using it as an infovideo for the owners that comes to our vetclinik because they have problems with clipping their dogs claws. Many people in Sweden has been helped by your video! Thanx from the swedish dogs! :)
ReplyDeleteVery helpful to see this -- thank you from a fearful dog owner.
ReplyDeletealthough i do agree with you, ive only recenly found clicker training, and im doing my best to understand and work with it.. i disagree with this thought that clicker training and positive training means NO discipline, and no Alpha.
ReplyDeleteBecause alpha is a way of life that is needed, in dogs and humans, its just natural, and its for the best. You are still Alpha to your dog even if you use a clicker. your just not alpha in the sense that everyone tends to think of,this dominant power weilding alpha.
It looks like the clicker she has in her hand at the start is a Karen Pryor i-clicker. It's shaped with an external button so it can be operated under your foot or in your pocket. I haven't tried this though so I don't know how well this works.
ReplyDeleteHow is the trainer clicking the clicker? Is she doing with her feet or does she have an assistant ?
ReplyDeleteI have to know - how is she clicking without having a clicker in her hand? You can do hands-free clicking?? HOW??? I need this ability!
ReplyDeleteThe more the pet-owning public gets onboard 'clicker training' and abandons the 'dominance' ship, the happier and more successful both owners and animals will be. Unfortunately for many, it's a trip that for those of us without lots of dollars for training requires -- self-education. Thanks for this educational clip.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great video!!! What a perfect example of clicker training; the how and why it works. Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was all one session? Holy crap.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good example for me!!
ReplyDeleteNow, this is awsome!!! But there's one question open: who was doing the clicking? I mean, the trainer had both hands occupied most of the time. Was there a second trainer around? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFabulous video! I'll be sharing this around to show exactly what you can accomplish quickly with some clicker training and working WITH your dog.
ReplyDeletekool thanx so much ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! This will help me spread the word about clicker training :) The best way to show people just how powerful clicker training is, is to show it in action helping to solve common behavioural problems. Thanks again for the great video!
