how do you teach the bark
I’m getting a 14 week old german shepherd later today named Nirvana. Really
excited. ^-^
I love everything about this except one thing – you gave him a treat after
every command. Soon, he’ll only work if he knows he’s getting a treat. Give
him a treat often, but occasionally praise him with play or petting.
Nice
@skywidedesign Thx a lot! I’ll try it out. Hopefully it works. I don’t
really want my hands chewed off when my dog gets his permanent teeth 😀
What is that clicking noise you’re making after the commands?
i wish my GSD did these things – mine’s 9 weeks old and can only make a cup
of tea, fetch the paper (from the shop) and iron me a shirt…!
Great video, very inspiring. I have a 14 week old GSD puppy “boot” and we
are making great paces. What is the clicker about? I have never see that
before and looks to be a good positive training tool. Thanks
Nice! Are there any guidelines to training? Im about to get a german
shepherd puppy and this would be my first trained dog.
Patience, practice, and positive reinforcement. Work on it 2-3 times a day
and use yummy treats. Make sure the dog is a little hungry otherwise they
won’t want to work for food.
great video. whats the best advice you can give to people who haven’t used
ebedience training yet and want to use it ? puppy is about 3 months old.
“Dog” whistles, or a quick sound with your mouth works well too. Some
people chirp, “Good” in a high voice to mark the desired behavior.
I used the clicker, because this was the first time in the snow. If a
“variable” of the training scenario changes, I liked using the clicker to
let the dog know, “you can also do these behavior during X,Y * Z”. I’m a
firm believer in lots of repetitions. 😉 .
great little video…thanks for posting!
If i keep training my pup with treats will she usually after a few days
respond to my command without giving him a treat? because he expects from
me a treat, Right?
They are called “clickers” and any pet store, or online pet store will have
them. They range from $1-$6 depending on handles, makers, etc… Google:
“Don’t Shoot the Dog” by Karen Pryor for the background on “marker
training”. Every click = a reward. The “Click” MARKS the behavior you want,
and the dog will try and offer the behavior again to get a reward.
@nikiathebasspleaser I think obedience training sets a great understand
between a dog and its owner/handler. Befroe you start though, you should
ask yourself, what is it you want from your dog? Simple obedience around
the house? Obedience at the dog park? Competition obedience? Knowing what
you want in the end, makes it easier to figure out the training tools that
are best for you.
i started clicker training with y 8 week old gsd shepherd.. and i kinda
taught him sit.. but i don’t think he understands what the clicker means..
should i re-start, hes now 10 weeks old and i really want to train him ?
I have the exact same problem!
i have got a german shepherd puppy and shes just 7 weeks now and listens to
me when i call her come here sits and down eat when i command her to eat or
else she will sniff and look at me for the command:) she bites which is
natural as shes teething but shes learning not to bite human skin!!!! i
think she wil learn more when shes gona be 3-4 months old but i have set
the rules now:) message from london
Sweet!
impressive little puppy, you have done a very good job, but i think your
puppy is passed the clicker stage, he already knows his commands.
@crymidnight While I do beleive that methods used on TV are useful for a
lot of dogs, I do not recommend these approaches for working dogs,
especially police/protection/search and military dogs.
It’s so amazing to see how skilful the dogs are at learning to understand
what we tell them, expect out of them and want them to do, at such a young
age! That’s thousands of years of evolution for you. Dogs really are man’s
best friend :’)
@iBoxBitch I recommend finding a local trainer who uses positive
reinforcement, and going for a few sessions to gather a set of teaching
tools to use on your own. Once you learn the basics that work for your dog,
like the “Sit”, you can start looking for a Schutzhund club. A club like
that will offer you more obedience practice, as well as other skills, like
trailing & bite-work. Be ready for the feedback, that NOT all GSDs are cut
out for bitework though, especially a dog with a history.
The timing of WHEN you train a puppy is very important. If the dog is
hungry, it will be VERY receptive to treat-rewards. If the puppy is “crazy”
excited, maybe the reward should be play instead of food. Also, for
puppies, very small training sessions of 5-10 minutes is about all their
short attention spans can handle. The benefit of short sessions is, you can
do another in an hour or so! Keep up the good work!
