I love the dog who says “Hi, my name is “Stop That” but sometimes they call me “Get Back Here””. Great video, thanks.

The dogs name is important my ex wife got rid of my dog saying it was a stray and the new family that adopted her took her back to the shelter because she didnt listen to them. So when I got her back and used her real name she instantly knew who I was and knew she was going home.

So many channels only trying to sell me some book or merchandising, this one is pure gold, informative, concise and funny too! thank you very much for your work!

my dog's nickname is stinky butt. When I call him that, he gets excited because good things happen when I use that name. Lol

[lanesteele]

My dogs name is “good boy”. No matter how bad he is acting, he is still a good boy. Bestest boy some say

Out of all the dog training video's I've watched this bit of advice is excellent and unheard of in every video I've watched. Thank you.

I am a firm believer that these skills should be taught in a subject in school since almost every single household owns a dog (or other pets!) And these are SUCH common mistakes. I've learnt so much!

You know that feeling, when you've watch Cesar Milan til your eyes bled, and you honestly think your doing everything (almost, pretty much) correct. You figure, hey we've got two 5 month old American bulldog pups, these are just the things you deal with.
Then you watch this video and realize, we've been doing somethings very wrong, and you described the issues we've experienced to a T.
Super greatful for this video and all your great info, also greatful my wife and I saw this while the girls are still young. They really are wonderful and very well behaved, usually, until their on the park amped up off leash and we're screaming before they reach the road!
Thanks for the great advise!

The production value in your episodes is the highest quality for dog training that I have seen on YouTube. From the content and humor to the screen wipe effects, it all outstanding. I hope you get a massive spike in subscribers man. Your hard work will pay off!

so glad i came across this video, my dog is going through an ignoring me phase and i always try to get his attention by shouting his name.... wont be doing that anymore, ill make sure to reward him more often for listening as well!! thank you for the useful information!!

My golden retriever is only 3.5 months old and I already have slipped into the habit of saying his name when I am reprimanding him (even though I know better...). I will absolutely try to stop this and instead try to leave his name out entirely unless it's something positive. And I will also try to practice the different volumes of saying his name with the reward scaling, I really hope it works well. I also don't even have a nickname for him yet (probably because I haven't even had him for that long yet) so I think I'll try to come up with one! Thanks so much for your videos, they are a huge help!

I really appreciate the PowerPoint like slide at the end. It allows me to screenshot the main points to review occasionally. Thanks for the great videos!

Realized my cat thought her name was "I love you" when I called "Alice?" and was ignored then said "oh...well, I love you anyway" and she whipped her head around and walked over...I only used her name when telling her to get off of something so... Whoops!

I cannot say how grateful I am I found this channel. My husband and I adopted a young, not-yet-neutered (tomorrow’s the day, yay!) American Pitbull Terrier. He’s got the energy level of Category 5 hurricane but he truly is a good, good boy and he has enriched both our lives tremendously already in the one month we’ve had him! Using the training methods and the general approach to training that I’ve learnt from listening to and watching in these videos have helped me to help him be a much more calm, satisfied, and polite dog! I’ve already got us signed up for training classes in group classes at a training facility in my city so that I can be taught to teach him correctly and supervised while doing so, but I believe that we’ll have laid a better foundation before we go in because of Simpawtico !!

My dog doesn't pretend to not hear me. She just gives me the side eye

[thelthrythquezada]

The "emergency" scale up is what I'll be using big time.

[AztridV]

I am preparing to adopt a puppy in three weeks by watching training video's. I've watched several different youtubers and was getting frustrated because I felt like they talked about the psychology of dogs a lot and didn't actually show techniques. I've subscribed to your channel because you have the perfect combination of psychology AND actual techniques. After a week of video's I was feeling in over my head. After one day of watching your channel and I now feel confident. Thank you so much!

[gaild]

Finally you have given me the understanding i need I thought my puppy was hard of hearing but realized she can hear me quietly move and then cant “hear” me when shes digging in the yard Thanks

Your tips for multiple dogs are always so helpful! Not a lot of other folks do that.

I really liked the bit about about calling your dog using a different volume depending on the situation, and also training the dog to know what it means. I am always wary of opening our front door to people, as we have no gate between us the lane we live on. Now I know how to train my dog to come back if she "escapes". Such a relief.
