How To Train Your Dog: Advanced Targeting/Head Movement

TOO EASY? TRY THIS! This tutorial is for those trainers who have worked up a good repertoire of behaviors with their dogs. If you want to make this even more challenging, I highly recommend adding MORE behaviors to the chain demonstrated in this video. Here is a sample chain of behaviors I would suggest: Hold it....Drop it....Target...Down....Stand....Down...Target....Watch me...Sit....Hold it...Bring it...Drop it...Watch me....Sit. If you can complete the above chain perfectly (giving each cue only once), you are demonstrating an INCREDIBLE connection with your dog and an extremely solid understanding of cues. Good job! I would love to see a video of someone demonstrating this chain. Please post it as a video response when you complete it! All the best! -------- Please "like" my facebook page for regular updates, training tips, and exclusive videos: www.facebook.com/trainingpositive

  5. I'm loving your tutorials. Stray & abused dogs are a concern here in Australia just like anywhere & our family recently had the opportunity to rescue a dog from a shelter. Your videos have been fantastic in helping us train Rusty. I never thought using a clicker could make such a difference. Our boy is an extremely quick learner thanks to you. Thanks again!

  7. Thank you for all your videos. I have already used your broken down techniques to hones the skills of our adopted Jack Russell. We got him from a previous owner who adopted him from a shelter but kept him in a kennel all day. A complete waste, as he has learned all of his basic commands and several tricks in just three weeks with 4 small kids as constant distractions. I think if his previous owners had taken a moment to watch even one of your videos he wouldn't have been re-homed. Glad he's ours

  13. I start using a clicker but slowly transition to "yes" as my marker word. I also use it for daily routines i.e. "get on the couch" he does it "yes". Is that ok or would that be overusing since he already knows the trick? I like the clicker but I like to use a lot of hand signals so it kind of gets in the way

  18. Check labels in in specialty stores. You have have organic dry dood that says organic natural flavours, but it is just organic sourced msg, it still causes lesions on the brain. Expensive fancy foods can still use gluten. Vets sell food with gluten, it is a shameful practice. It is very dangerous for cats, but vets will still sell it. Training with spice/garlic/onion free meat is awesome, just feeding real food is awesome. They did not evolve on dehydrated kibble.

  19. lol, it is just bad that you feed pedigree/purina. Both use animal/meat by product which's anything from road kill to dead cats & dogs. They contain an ingredient labelled natural flavours, which is MSG hidden in things like hydrolysed protein/veg isolates, brewers yeast. They've gluten in them which destroys stomach shags& can cause diabetes. Be an ingredient watcher, protect your dogs health. In my area I buy Acana/Origin they use freerange meat or I make it myself.

  23. I love your videos, they are very informative and make dog training so much easier and enjoyable. Problem with my german shepherd: when we ride in the car to go to the park to run, he is too excited, jumps around and barks incessantly. I would love to see you do a video on this issue! Thanks again, I'm a big fan.
