How To Stop Most Behavioral And Obedience Dog Training Issues

Thanks for joining us today for our tenth dog training lesson. In today's video, I'll be discussing proper corrections within dog training. Using corrections (compulsion) is not mandatory and you can get a really well-trained dog only using three out of the four quadrants of operant conditioning. However, if you want 100% reliability, then using compulsion becomes necessary.

It's going to take 2 or 3 rewatches to unpack everything in this video. With a notebook. There's tons of training information in here! Thank you

Fantastic advice. I get a lot of clients who went to positive only trainers first to now be at my door with a dangerous unruly dog on the verge of being surrendered to a shelter.

This absolutely happened to us when we moved from a house to an apartment for 6 months when we moved across the country last year. We were SO discouraged with the reactivity issues of my Aussie that was just stressed to the max suddenly being in a small apartment and surrounded by dogs. She was having me give treats when goi g crazy barking at other dogs through the dog park fence and it just made everything worse. I went back to Cesar Milan videos and found your channel when we moved into our house and by establishing boundaries and corrections—she is doing amazing now! So grateful for this!

Really nice to see balanced training with the correct use of Corrections. ITs sad in Australia where it’s almost all positive reinforcement training. I find that my methods of Instruction and Training are often being scrutinised because I still advocate the Check Chain (Choker) and or the Martin Gail. I also don’t Like to start a new handler with food until they learn the concepts. Mark and physical praise are my early go to whilst a bond/connection is being built and the new handler learns the concept of Classical Conditioning, Motivation, consistency and Timing.

Love your work Nate, keep it up 👍

My GS rescue when I first adopted her was very food possessive. Started feeding her by hand and piece by piece on the floor and it completely got rid of the aggression

It's amazing how you give all of this valuable information out for free. Thank you!!!!

[AMLee_Magco]

Just got my copy of your book! Supper excited! Your input about e-collar training has help me and my little pup get a start. Thank you so much!

[littleninjai]

Such valuable training information, Nate. I've been following you and your videos for years. I hope new subscribers realize what a gem you are and how stellar this material is. Thank you!

[kerryramplin]

Thank you for all the advice Nate. The way you present information is the best

[dylancloud]

This may be the most comprehensive video on corrections and tools ever. Great work sir

I'm witnessing this right now. There were 3 Dogo Argentinos pups in my neighbourhood and after taking them in it is clear to see that this pups need a very strong hand. They're stubborn beyond belief and it would be very hard for a first (or even second) time dog owner to be able to be strict enough to make them obedient.

[douglasreid]

Honestly the best trainer I've ever watched. Great stuff Nate!

[forrestpurdomest]

Great video brotha! I actually just had to explain to my last client how using an e-collar on an aggressive dog can cause the dog to associate the collar with the other dog they were getting aggressive with. They just put the collar on and started using it for the aggression instead of spending time with the dog alone getting them conditioned to the collar. Ive found if you make sure the dog understands it is You that is causing the discomfort in the neck as a correction it can be a great tool to correct unwanted aggression. It has to be done right tho or it will most definitely have the opposite effect! Love how you explain things keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to our session later this month and hope you have a great year!

Great topic on positive punishment. I just had a conversation with a new dog owner who is having trouble with their dog biting at their clothes while walking. It was resulting in them getting bruises from the biting and she was worried she’d have to re-home the dog. While this behaviour could be corrected to an extent with positive reinforcement, it will certainly take more time and bruises than positive punishment would. I think people associate positive punishment with heavy-handed training, which tunnels them into the positive reinforcement only mindset.

Valuable information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as always

[michellewilkes]

Okay I think I'm going to be binging your videos until you have no more they're that good much appreciation thank you

[bloo]

wish all my high school teachers taught me like you do, love your videos!

[israelwarshavsky]

You are Amazing, from
My side you are one of the best dig trainers that I ever met.
Really appreciate it 👍🐶

[PawsuasiveDogTeaching]

Great Video. I absolutely agree about the all positive approach. I have seen by far too many unruley dogs that have been brought up that way. I believe dogs need corrections and those corrections do not have to be painful. Treat withholding, firm verbal NO are just a couple ways you can correct dogs without causing pain. Luckily dogs are easily teachable. My issue is getting the owners on the same page, that is by far the hardest part of dog teaching.

this is why i watch your videos and bought your book...i don't want to rely on the wrong trainer....i'm currently working on demand biting, snapping, barking. she's 18 weeks...the pattern seems when she's tired, and hungry. this morning she redirected to a bully stick, sometimes i hav to put her in her crate for a few minutes, i'm pleasant to her, but i do say no biting allowed, i say that every time...she does settle down, but i need a real solution
