More to come in this description box.

This video is low quality 1-because its so long, but I wanted you to get a sense of "real time" from it, rather than a slick 3 min tutorial- which will be coming as well going over all the steps and problem shooting 2- because I had to use a different camera because Frys Electronics screwed up MY video camera! dog training clicker training whining barking crate pen how to stop seperation anxiety home visit clicker training a new chihuaua chihuahua puppy rescue

How to train any puppy!!!
In this video, I address some of the most popular questions regarding puppy training. When should you start training a puppy? How do you teach a dog to want to be obedient? How to establish good habits, eliminate behavior problems and some house-training basics. The key is to set your dog up to be successful without even giving them a chance to do the wrong thing. Puppies are curious and energetic which combined, may cause them to learn inappropriate behaviors. But if we actively supervise them and manage the environment, then they will quickly develop into well mannered members of your family. A positive attitude is the most significant tool when bonding with a puppy. By adding or removing positive reinforcement (whether it is attention, or food) we can effectively curb, guide & nurture behavior. Thanks for watching & subscribing! ***New video will be up later this week!***
You should post videos on working with shy/reactive dogs. It would be very helpful for me because I volunteer at a shelter
ReplyDeleteI would like to teach my dog to like being outside but she only goes when we come with her or when she goes to pee, then, she cries to come back in. How can I teach her to stay outside wile we wont be their?
ReplyDeleteDoes actually leaving the house for whatever reason for a long period of time before fully training my pup to be left alone make it harder for her to learn to relax without me?
ReplyDeleteGood video, I like the big kennel, but my pup is a jumper.
ReplyDeleteThanks Em
ReplyDeleteContinue.. Plus he never shows signals prior to go peeing, so I can never prevent it (he can go several times an hour so going outside does not help). If I interrupt him in a process he still keeps peeing even if i pick him up. I am frustrated. Please help.
ReplyDeleteHi Kikopup! I have tried this pen with my 3 month Wheaten Terrier.But he seems to be impatient to receive a treat and therefore cries instantly when I leave a room.When he is out of his pen he does not get it that he needs to go in to receive a treat.Instead he followed me around the room and then peed behind the pen on the floor!He never did this before,he always peed on pee pad which now is inside the pen,It feels like he got mad that I don't give him a treat and peed out of spite.Please Help!
ReplyDeleteLol my pup jumps over the tall pen Smh what do I do? I hate to leave him in the small crate with not much room to move around in...
ReplyDeleteI have the same doubts as you. I can't take 2 weeks off work, so I try to work on getting my pup to like her crate when I have the time, but unfortunately I've had to crate her a few times so I can go out, I simply couldn't afford to wait for her tolerance to build up. Right now she accepts the crate, but with such resignation that you'd think I'm sending her to the gallows every time I crate her. And when there are other people nearby she won't settle.
ReplyDeleteMy family is getting a puppy pretty soon and I want use a dog pen like in your video but my family doesn't know what to do or where to put it. I need help!
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see a video with a dog who has bad separation anxiety, and advice on what to do if taking 2 weeks off isn't an option. If I do have to crate him and leave him alone while I go to work before I can build up his tolerance to being left alone in a crate/pen, won't that make him regress, and start to think of the crate/pen as bad again? Would it be damaging to leave him crated for even an hour if he's uncomfortable? Or will he learn to settle on his own?
ReplyDeleteseems like an unreachable goal! :( Any help that you can offer is appreciated! It's tough, because I work at a doggy daycare, so she usually comes to work with me, and rarely ever has to stay home alone. HELP! D:
ReplyDeleteThis video, along with ALL of your videos really help me! The only thing with this, is that my dog is a little over a year, and she's able to jump 4 foot gates, so I can't leave her in a pen. I have a crate for her, but she is constantly pulling things surrounding it in, and shredding them. She recently shredded a hand made bed, and my favorite collar that she had! I would LOVE to have to be able to just roam the house, or be okay to just hangout in my room while I'm gone, but right now, it
ReplyDeleteMuy bueno,me gusta tu estilo,I like your style.Good work
ReplyDeleteThis video is great!! My border collie puppy, Rocky, scratches at doors, howls if you leave him in his kennel, chews on my other family member's clothes and bodies. He does this eerytime I either leave him in a different room or leave the house. Hopefully this will work!
ReplyDeleteWhat if you have a 50-pound dog with separation anxiety? Ours busted out of his crate, jumped over the baby gate we tried to use to keep him in one room, tore the molding off the front door when we left him loose in the house, etc. That little pen won't contain my dog. What do you suggest to keep him from damaging our house further? We've tried the going in and out, desensitizing him to his "triggers" that we're going to leave him, giving him PB in a Kong - nothing works.
ReplyDeleteWow i have a mini pincher too but whenever i try to leave him alone.... he starts crying and barking
ReplyDeleteDoes this work for junior dogs (6 months old lab) ? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about NOT having a PEN ? Just leaving him 1 or 2 rooms and a hallway available ?
I'm a HUGE fan of your videos! I just got my dog 2 days ago, but I want to start training him now. He is a 4 month old German Shepard and he is an outside dog, so I am not sure how to use your great techniques on him because you have dogs that can come inside. In other words, how would I make him poop/pee in one spot in my garage or yard, or have him stop whining in the garage at night when he should be asleep?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPLY!!! thnx :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! I really liked your video!
ReplyDeleteomg my dog wont stop i tryed this wat did i do wrong help
ReplyDeletethats great for so soon! ;)
ReplyDeleteTug's case sounds very similar to Noname's. I'm estimating about 2 weeks before I can leave him. He doesn't seem to be food or toy motivated at all so I find it tricky knowing how to properly reinforce him except by my own praising, but I don't want to overexcite him every time I come through the door. So today I've just been trying to make it as ultimately boring as possible with me going in and out the front door repeatedly. We've finally worked up to 1 minute of separation so far! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you do the leaving and coming back?
ReplyDeleteto stop him going in the house you need to take them outside very very often, and if they dont poop outside go inside for a bit, watch for signs such as a lot of sniffing around with their tail in the air, and if htey dont poop when you take them bakc out wait outside until they do, then praise and reward like its the greatest thing in the world, and when they do poop outside try to train a command for it like do your buisness or go potty
ReplyDeleteHey tab what can i do if my dog is lazy and the treats don't interest her she gets more excited over water and i don't know how to use that to my advantage?
ReplyDeleteThat is really stupid, a clicker just costs around $3 and EVERYONE that uses it recommends it, he can't stop you from using one.
ReplyDeletemy puppy keep on taking poop inside the house can u show me anyway that i can do to make it stop plz tell me as soon as possible and btw i like the way u show us how to train :D
ReplyDeletethank god i found you tab! i just got my puppy today and i am exhausted!
ReplyDeleteHe has said in other videos that you should start training as soon as you get the puppy.
ReplyDeletecould you explain what you were saying about the purpose of the having them on a leash?
ReplyDeleteHi, im really engoyin your videos! I have 8 weeks old australiankelpie puppy and i was wondering, if the puppy is piting carbets, sofa, tables or other furnitures, what is the proper "punishment"? In this situation you really can not "take the fun" away, becourse there is nothing to take away, right? Or should i get the puppy interestet in something else?
ReplyDeleteTry snapping your fingers
ReplyDeleteTab, I want to clicker train my puppy, but my dad is saying it won't work, cause they hear a click from somwhere else, he says it'll only confuse the puppy. Is there any way to train? I tried by saying ''Yes!'' when I trained him to sit, but he never followed. I want to try the clicker but my dad won't let me. Is there any way you can help me? :(
ReplyDeleteThe way my dad wants to train him, seems a little harsh to me. It's not abuse though.
Help me :(
Hi Tab, just brought home an 8 week old German Shepherd to join my 8 yr old Border Collie. The Collie is really toy focused but surprisingly she's backing down to the puppy. Is this normal or is she just not placing a high value on that particular toy? She's not the most social of animals so it's unusual behavior.
ReplyDeletehey tab thx for the videos they helped a lot, one question tho my husky when she bite on her leash if i just tried ignoring her like u said she'll get some distance and enjoy chewing her leash so what's the right way to stop her from doing that without having to punish her...?
ReplyDeletesorry about my bad English and my husky she's only 3 months old.
hi.. write to me if you still need help with that, cause my puppy now knows he can't pee inside the house and he points to the door when ever he wants to pee/poo
ReplyDeleteWhen the puppy is at least 8 weeks old.
ReplyDeletehow do I make her go pee in the pad and not in the carpet? I seem to be doing something wrong because whenever I put her in the pad, she just lay down or sit and doesn't pee when I know she is going to pee. And sometimes she holds on until I walk her.
ReplyDelete@HuntsmanWTF Umm you got it all wrong if you see his video where his dog dose really cool tricks you will change your mind :)
ReplyDeletei just got a boxer, shes 3months old and im using your techniques to teach her tricks and stuff and they really work. I also watched the dog whisperer show of ceaser milan and that tought me how to control the dog, showing her where to litter etc. personally this combination worked really good and even though the dog has been at me for only 3 days she already knows how to sit, lay, not poop inside and not go upstairs.
ReplyDeleteObserving my sister when she was very young, she would try to feed our dog, but when the dog too excitedly took the food, my sister would scream, scaring our dog. Even being to young to use the potty herself she taught the dog to take food delicately, so delicately that we could give her food off a fork and she wouldn't touch the fork. these days I teach dogs by not giving them the treat when they try to chomp at it. Causing them to delicately take it from one's hand in order to receive it.
ReplyDeletewhen i put my 2mth old rott in the lure positon to sit she sometimes and mosttimes bite my hand not hard bt in a playfull way ne helppppppp plzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteThis has probably already been answered but as soon as you get them you can start.
ReplyDeletethank u very much for doing all those videos :). With those, my 2 month German Shepherd can already do sit, down, roll, react to her name and come over when i call her.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about training our dog when she was a puppy was that you can really see the cogs turning in her head whilst she was trying so hard to remember what it was she had to do to get that treat and her squeels of delight when she got it right and got the treat.
ReplyDeleteas soon as you get them home
