Getting a lab in a few month, thanks for this series

[wyotexan]

Great stuff! Working through this now with Penny

[BroadHeadedAK]

Love the education thanks for the video!

[crwjr]

Hello, been following for awhile and your vids are very well put together easy to follow! One question do you have any videos about training a older 4, 5, 6 year old dog? Is it basically the same process as for a pup? I would imagine it’s more difficult re teaching good behaviors.. once again awesome videos and happy new year!!!

I Love Y'all Videos Omg Can U Tell Me What's A Good Dog Food For A Labrador Retriever

[kristelfourie]

Oh my goodness - was he just not the sweetest little boy in the world!! I wish I found your videos when or before i brought my gsp girl home. You mention something in this video about addressing jumping. I have also seen another video where Clay is a couple of weeks older and he does absolutely everything except jump up on you to get his food. My girl is now a year old and jumping up on me and other people is still something we struggle with - is there another video where you show and address jumping up specifically or is the advice you would give the principle of moving into the dog when they are jumping?

[DougZaga]

What is your opinion on the .5 to 1.5 second delay between the Marker and the Primary Reinforcer during CtM?

[dsd-downshiftdave]

Isn't it better to praise the dog using your voice instead of the use of the clicker

[adamliudzius]

Love the videos! I was wondering, Where do you get your dog beds from??

[adrianmagallon]

Thank you for all the great content!! My wife and I are getting a Brittany in the beginning of the year and we look forward to training her in parallel with clay!

Quick question, would you still feed a Brittany large breed puppy food or would you use the medium breed food? It seems like large breed puppy food is more readily available than the medium breed puppy food.

[Esther-knru]

Thank you so much for this useful advice. we have our 12wks old German shorthaired pointer for 3 weeks, and I do make him sit and wait for my approval to start eating, but I haven't been using the clicker.
But my dog is still on 5 small meals a day.... 🙈
What age is the dog in this video?

[joelanzures]

We are picking up two English Lab littermates in a few weeks. We plan on crate training them both. What's you opinion on keeping them in separate crates? I see a lot of videos on how to crate train puppies, but not a lot on crate training two puppies at once. Should they sleep in separate crates in separate rooms, or keep them together to start with? Any information or opinions would help this novice dog owner.

[jasonmamoa]

What brand food do you feed your pups again?

[jkeagar]

When training 2 puppies do you suggest separating them and training at different times?
