I have a puppy coming home in a few months - the first 2 seconds of this video is exactly what I was planning on doing first lol

[susanfox]

Ethan is so right when he suggests you video your training sessions. I learned that what I thought I was doing was actually not what I was doing. Watching your own videos helps, you get better and so does your pup!

I've been training labs since I was 14 and now raise Chesapeake bays. I still learn new tricks and tactics from yall. Good content thank you!

[majora]

This is perfect timing! I'm picking up my puppy this Sunday!

Just took home my 7wk old English pointer and he’s definitely a headstrong little guy. These videos help a ton— thank you!

Darn I brought my 3/4 yellow lab home at 6 weeks and did not know to do the Lion King! He’s 9 wks now and almost too heavy for this grandma to lift high 😅. So thankful I found you guys!

Just started training based on your video YESTERDAY with our beautiful new just about 8 week GSP "Piper". She's doing great! thank you!!!

[SByers]

I've had my 8 week GSP Puppy for 5 days now and tried this with his breakfast this morning. Excited to see improvement with his eye coordination receiving treats from me. Was glad to find a clicker app and to find this helpful video. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you!

You can see those gears turning!! What a cutie!

[angiepinney]

I lion king mine that we got this past weekend before I watched this video haha love it

[josecuervorok]

Great video! I have a 9 week old lab and your videos have been great! Clicker is charged and my lab knows sit, here, and kennel where he goes to the bed. Should I stick with these 3 things for now or should I be adding more things in? He's too young to walk so I'm wondering what to do next?

[alexanderszell]

My Weimaraner is doing great. Definitely gonna buy some products from the web site soon. Thanks for helping me train my puppy

[TheRottydog]

It’s very good she is a hearty eater it will make your training life lots easier.

[sharonschlice]

Is the clicker necessary? Does it just replace praising the dog so they associate the treat and clicker with whatever skill they are learning?

[jrparmar]

Great contents! We are getting our first lab pup next month. Will def. be using your techniques. Cheers!

[chucknorton]

I love watching the training videos; I really enjoy your training style and how positive and consistent you are. What treats are you giving the puppy? They look pretty small and given the amount that you give, I would imagine that you are able to purchase in large quantities.

[vestafreyja]

One of the first things that we train our puppies to do after they have gotten the basics is when they are about to cross a street they are to sit and wait until they are told to cross.

[kharvey]

She is adorable!! Love the little white tip on her tail! What made you both initially start using the clicker method and why has been the method you have stuck with as opposed to other methods?
