Filed under Puppy Training Video
This is a quick how to video I made for a youtube user who said they were having trouble getting rid of the lure. I hope to make a more in depth video on this subject. As well as how to ween off of treats as well. But for now here is my Dog training tip of the day. I created the video immediately after having the idea to make it, so I used my own dogs, it would have been great to have used a puppy. I encourage other dog trainers out there to make How to videos on how to fade a lure when training with food, because it is information that is very important to stop training enthusiasts from getting stuck down the road Quick tips when using a lure: 1 Get RID of the lure as soon as you can! The goal is within 3 trials. 2 If you don’t have a clicker use a very short word like “yes!” or “yep!” 3 Always make it harder and harder, don’t get stuck at the same level of criteria 4 If you go to far to quickly you can always go back a step 5 If your dog is not following the lure, get a smellier lure- real meat! ———————— Dog training clicker training training with food how to train a dog how to train a puppy how to get rid of a lure how to stop having food in your hand how to get rid of the food in your hand when training a dog dog how to get the focus off of the treat and onto WORKING for the reinforcement how to use treats when training how to use food when training cool tricks How to teach spin how to teach a dog to spin in a circle how to teach a dog to twirl

Hi! Thank you for this helpful video. By the way, I notice a lot of people keep on talking about Xobodog Training (just google it), but I’m not sure if it is good. Have you ever tried this dog training program known as Xobodog Training? I have heard several amazing things about it.
Awesome, thanks. I taught my rats the same trick using this, though it took them longer. Unsurprisingly they’re not as bright as border collies :p
Thanks so much for this vid 🙂
Hey! Thanks a lot for this helpful video. By the way, I notice a lot of people keep on talking about Xobodog Training (search on google), but I’m not sure if it’s good. Have you considered this dog training program known as Xobodog Training? I’ve heard some unbelivable things about it.
It still surprises me, just how some people have no idea about Xobodog Training (do a search on google), although a lot of people solve their dog behavior problems with this training program. Thanks to my work buddy who told me about Xobodog Training, I have have a better relationship with my beloved pet.
Once the behavior is solid, I find it helpful to then give the treat every other time. Then every 1 time out of three and so on. Or if the dog is REALLY smart, don’t fade it on a countable pattern that the dog can get wise to. Also randomly give out jackpots (several treats at once). And try to change up what treats they receive. They should be kept guessing so they don’t rely on getting a treat every time. Also condition secondary reinforcers.
I like conditioning a secondary reinforcer. Like a pet, applause, laughter, looking away (for fearful dogs), etc. A little something extra besides the marker.
I find it so ironic that people create bribery by messing up on fading food or utilizing it correctly, end up with a dog that will only perform for the bribe, and then they blame the whole system and their dog, instead of placing the blame where it really lies: with themself.
Hey kikopup!
A helpful vide indeed! But in the discription, you said that you show how to wean off treats. I understand how the fading of the lure will would, but you didnt show splash doing the trick without getting a treat after the trick had been done. How could you do this? i want my GSD to come, sit, stop, leave it, stay, ect. without always having my treat bag on me. It would be a great help if you can direct me to a vid or explain how to do this.
Thank you,

do you have a video with how to teach your dog to bark and if you don’t, can you please make one? 😀
extremely helpful =) great work!
Awsome video Emily, but here is a “Quick Tip”. at the end of the videos (when you show the trick) give a link to where you were training him from. so we dont have to look 🙂
Thank you so much for this Emily! Teaching this to Tonks at the moment.
2:07 “Where did that treat fall to??” 🙂
this girl is awesome
You are amazing! I tried this today with my miniature poodle and she learned spin just like that! It’s awesome that you’re on youtube. Keep the vids comin’.
We just got a new puppy and your videos are so useful! You’re really effective and clear. Thanks a lot. 🙂
Thank you sooo much for this vid!
Oops! You have already done that 😛
Please tell us how should we add verbal command.
I feel compelled to tell you that you have the best training videos and approach I have seen yet. Keep them coming…I live on the east coast and have weekly clicker training classes with my young dog and your vidoes are helping us to progress even faster…and we are having so much fun doing it! Positive clicker training is the way to go! I subscribed. bc4meps
wow my dog does that if i dont have a treat she will not listen to me im going to try that
Not once in all your videos I’ve watched so far, have I been concerned for the dog, you, your methods, nor embarrassed by any mistakes you might have made. (I’ve seen none btw.) Each video speaks to my heart and some can make me cry they are so sweet, understanding, patient. For example the video where you mention not using a dog’s name as correction. I loved that idea. Besides you being adorable and fun to watch, your methods and knowledge of dogs are beyond inspiring. I learn form you. Thanks
Thank you very much for sharing – you have some great uploads
Great video!
then probably the dog is training you 😉 If he doesn’t get it, start small and make him follow the hand with or without food for a few inches before releasing the treat, then raise the distance. Or you go straight to target training which is actually a lot easier than any food lure.
Hi! Thanks a lot for this helpful video. By the way, I notice lots of people keep on talking about Xobodog Training (just google it), but I’m not sure if it is really good. Have you tried this dog training program called Xobodog Training? I’ve heard several extraordinary things about it.
Thanks for the tip. I must admit, when I saw the subject I was skeptical since I’ve taught my two Yorkies to sit AND I always tell them to stay. I thought, “what could you possibly mean” but when I heard your logic I realized you’ve made perfect sense. I’m not a trainer at all. Just a dog owner with no experience at training them. I appreciate you’re sharing of your wisdom. Thanks!
Hello! Thanks for this useful video. By the way, I hear a lot of people keep on talking about Xobodog Training (do a google search), but I’m not sure if it’s good. Have you ever tried this dog training program known as Xobodog Training? I have heard several great things about it.
I have trained several Labs and 1 pointer in my time. i started out with stay then learned that SIT MEANS SIT, this was long before the internet. If you tell your dog to sit and it gets up and moves, it isn’t sitting. If you want him to move from the sit position give him a command then sit him again, he wont get frozen to the ground, It’s like saying NO then 2 seconds later having to say NO again. I have to agree with Fred.
pour un chien d’arret il est tres facile de rester un certain temps completement immobile et en plus avec une patte levée ! alors arrete un peu de raconter tes conneries Monsieur fred hassen ,il est grand temps que de vrai professionnel face le menage dans les amoureux de hummer !!!
They are very white!
why are you teeth so damn white and perfect?
lol was that a joke?
oooooooooooo… im in internet land!!!!!!!!
I do use “sit” and “stay” as two different commands, because we have four seasons and temperatures during winter are dropping under 0 (Celsius). Sitting on frozen ground is not good and not moving at all is also not very healthy.
Ur right. That’s like saying I fell down not up. I fell. Period.
It seems like it might be too strict a command definition for, let’s say, a herding dog or bird dog. I mean you might want the dog to use some latitude in it’s position and demeanor because it is multitasking: watching you and the herd or game. You want a bird dog to stop, but you don’t mind if it uses it’s pointing instinct or turns to bark at errant sheep.
I dont want my dog to have to sit in one place when I say stay. I might use a ‘stay’ command if I want to go to the kitchen but want my dog to stay in the living room I dont care what position shes in, if she wants to lay on her back with her legs in the air she can, I just want her to stay there and not follow as she normally would do. Again out walking its valuable, I take my dog out loose on roads while I ride my horse, when doing things like crossing a busy cross roads I need a stay command.
anyone notice that this man does not blink?
brilliant. honestly.
Makes sense to me.
I’ve been training professionally for almost ten years, and I’ve always told my clients that they had to define what the command “sit” meant – whether stay was implicit or a separate command, etc. Your approach is clearer and addresses the issue more directly. I’ll be using it from now on. Thank you.
love it
you are smart!
Ok Fred, I saw your video and it made good sense so I started doing it. One day I went to go into the basement and the dog was going to follow me. I went to say stay but caught myself, and stopped to think of the command I needed. I didn’t care if she roamed around on the main floor but she wasn’t allowed to come with me, so sit or down didn’t work. They know stay as “we have to stay on this floor.” Now I confused me so can you straighten me out.
Amazing! A mass blonde moment revealed.

what happened to your voice?
I have a question. How do you train a submissive dog who submissive pees if you try to get him to do something he doesnt wanna do.like put him in a sit(ect.)If im trying to teach him and so I show him what i want , he pees.he is 6 months old.
I’m in the class of Sit Means Sit and I have the sit command printed in my mind when I leave my dog I want him to stay. I have a Pit/ Shar-pei mix and he is very agressive against white fuffly dogs and in class I always say sit and stay, Darin tells me nope you tell your dog to sit it means sit not move around or lay down unless I tell him…. I am correcting myself when I say STAY.. Its a no no word in class now… Thanks for all your hard work in training me to train my dog!
