About the author:

Emily Larlham runs the dog training business Dogmantics Dog Training in San Diego, California. She is known around the world for her popular Youtube Channel ‘Kikopup’ where she has posted over 350 free in-depth dog training tutorials. She believes that by putting out free training tutorials that don’t involve any forms of physical or psychological intimidation, it will not only effect how people treat animals but also how people treat other human beings. Emily created the term ‘Progressive Reinforcement Training’ and a training manifesto to describe this way of training in detail.

Emily began her training career as an animal care-giver in a shelter about 15 years ago where she met her dog training mentor Kyle Rayon. After meeting Kyle, Emily quit her job and became an apprentice. After many years of study, learning from both human and thousands of canine mentors, she began her own business. She combines her artistic background and training skills to invent creative, fast and reliable ways to solve problem behaviors as well as train complex behaviors and tricks. She has been invited to conduct seminars on her techniques for training dogs without intimidation in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. She has also spoken at conferences such as the PPG Summit, Clicker Expo, Clicker Expo Europe, APDT Australia and the Art and Science of Animal Training Conference.

Telling my wife I'm just going to watch one more puppy video before going to bed :)
Then settling down for this 3 hour gold mine. :D

This should be a top 3 dog training videos on YouTube

[sidurirob]

You have a great personality for training dogs. The calm, willing obedience of your dogs, as they watch a new dog’s schooling is quite the compelling advertisement!

모든 영상들이 너무 아름답고 마음이 따뜻해집니다. 우리 박하 & 포니에게도 훈련해보고 싶어요. 좋은 영상 고맙습니다.

[richtaylor]

I really appreciate this video. Especially the settle training - opened my eyes to encouraging calm and independent behavior.

[jorobles]

I've been a dedicated fan for many years, since Splash's pup training videos. I've enjoyed training a number of personal and foster dogs with clicker training after a lifelong obsession with behavioral psychology and I can always count on your videos to provide new perspective and insight with already familiar concepts. I appreciate all the hard work you've put into your channel over the years and now looking at your newer videos, see that the quality of your tutorials has come a long way from your early days on the web- so much kudos to you! I've been a dog groomer for sixteen years and refer all my clients to your videos. Wishing you many more years of happy dogs and success in your career.

I don't know how I didn't come across this video 2 years ago when I was trying to train my puppy. This is honestly the best information and having it together is so helpful! Thank you!

[TheTubeMyster]

I've recently started learning more about dog training and I'm so glad I found your channel and amazing videos! Your manner is so lovely, and you're so calm and gentle with all the doggos. 🐶

[bluebellformentino]

This is one of the best puppy training videos I have ever seen. You explain everything in such a simple way and counter any issues with a positive approach. Well done, I am following!

My 6 year old bull terrier passed away two weeks ago. I miss him so much but I’m already so excited to get another puppy and to go through all of this all over again!

[ElizabethHall]

Such pertinent comments and frank honesty . Every potential puppy owner needs the watch these .
I’ve zoomed trough to points relevant to us now .
Perfect .

[relaxmydog]

This is a wonderful vid, thanks so much!

7:21 wow that's an impressive whistle

[natalieberkeley]

Thank you for merging this compilation - I pick up my puppy in a couple of weeks - so this has helped me confidentially plan and prepare for this big adventure!

[tenzobiss]

“Firstly congratulations on your new puppy”
Lol Well Thank you! Haha Me who doesn’t even own a dog just here learning for future reference 😅🤣

[TC-ephy]

I love your videos! I've actually used some of what you teach with my cats and it *really* works. All 3 of my boys know their names, they come when called, and they all sit on cue. I love your style, it's so positive and just a completely different way to think about training.

[MarigoldsintheGarden]

THAT PUPPY IS THE MOST GORGEOUS PUPPY I'VE EVER SEEN, apart from my beautiful cream coloured Labradoodle

[Anisky]

Thank you so much, Emily! This is an amazing playlist. I’ve watched this a few times since it’s long and I can have it playing in the background. Getting new insights without having to babysit my computer. Please make more really long video compilations of your awesome library!

[lirantal]

This is amazing, thank you so much! I just got a new pup and I was just thinking "which step from all your videos should I start and follow up with?"
And that just answered it, dog is already coming over, and answering when called most of the times, as he's still quite young and getting distracted by everything, sometimes just losing focus and ignoring me entirely... but your videos are really inspiring and helpful, thank you! :)

I wish I found this 3 weeks ago when I first brought my puppy home.
