1-hour Virtual Training Session: https://calendly.com/nateschoemer/1-hour-virtual-training

In today's tutorial, I'm excited to take you through an essential and often overlooked skill in your dog's training repertoire: walking backwards. This skill is not only a fun party trick but also an important building block for advanced training techniques. It enhances your dog's spatial awareness, agility, and focus, all while deepening the bond you share with your pup.

We'll kick things off by introducing your dog to the physical cue that signals them to walk backwards. Initially, we celebrate each small step backward with a reward, gradually increasing our expectations until the dog confidently understands the movement. This step-by-step reinforcement helps build a solid foundation for the behavior.

Once your dog masters walking backwards with the desired speed and precision, and maintains eye contact, we'll introduce the verbal command. It's crucial to say the command before presenting the physical cue, creating a clear pattern for your dog to follow. Over time, the verbal command alone will prompt the behavior, eliminating the need for a physical cue.

Additionally, we're diving into the world of conditioned reinforcers by teaching three specific markers that signal different types of rewards: the continuation marker, the terminal marker, and the secondary terminal marker. These markers are key to clear communication and effective training.

But that's not all – we're also laying the groundwork for two exciting commands: the "send away" and the "through" command, with the latter involving your dog running through your legs. These exercises are not only fun but serve as stepping stones to more complex behaviors, boosting your dog's motivation and eagerness to learn.

Join me as we embark on this journey to unlock new possibilities in your dog's training, making each session a rewarding experience that strengthens the incredible bond between you and your dog.

From Backwards Walking to the Send Away Command: A Game-Changer in Dog Training
From Backwards Walking to the Send Away Command: A Game-Changer in Dog Training
Check out my top-rated course, From Novice to Pro: The Ultimate Guide To Dog Training, on Sit Stay Learn! It covers beginner basics to advanced techniques. Get it here: https://bit.ly/4jGVNNB In this engaging tutorial, I'm thrilled to guide you through the next stage of your puppy's training journey, focusing on more advanced and playful exercises designed to strengthen the bond and communication between you and your canine companion. Today's session is all about introducing your puppy to walking in the reverse heel position, transitioning between the center to the right and left heel positions, and mastering the art of switching heel positions. These exercises are not just training tasks; they're an enjoyable way to deepen the relationship with your dog.

We'll start by exploring the reverse heel position, a unique maneuver where your dog learns to maintain the heel position on both sides while you walk backward, and they move forward. This exercise challenges both you and your puppy, promoting trust and understanding as you navigate the space together.

Next, we'll tackle the transition from the center position to the left and right heel positions. This fluid movement encourages your puppy to pay close attention to your commands and body language, enhancing their responsiveness and agility. The beauty of this exercise lies in its simplicity and the seamless communication it fosters between you and your dog.

Switching heel positions will also be a focus of our session, emphasizing the importance of your puppy's ability to adapt and follow your lead from any direction. This not only improves their spatial awareness but also reinforces their obedience and flexibility in responding to commands.

These exercises are designed to be fun and engaging for both you and your puppy, turning training sessions into a game that both of you look forward to. By incorporating these advanced movements into your training regimen, you're not just teaching your puppy new skills; you're enhancing the relationship and communication you share with your dog.

Structure Your Dog Training To Create Food Drive In Your Treat Fussy Dog #271 #podcast If you are trying to train a dog who is fussy about food, or if you know someone who is in that situation, you may think, "this dog training is never going to work."

Structure Your Dog Training To Create Food Drive In Your Treat Fussy Dog #271 #podcast
Structure Your Dog Training To Create Food Drive In Your Treat Fussy Dog #271 #podcast
Check out my top-rated course, From Novice to Pro: The Ultimate Guide To Dog Training, on Sit Stay Learn! It covers beginner basics to advanced techniques. Get it here: https://bit.ly/4jGVNNB In today’s tutorial, we explore the fundamental technique of leash pressure in dog training, a crucial skill that teaches your dog to respond positively to commands rather than resisting them. This method is all about communication and understanding, guiding your dog gently to comply with commands such as 'sit' and 'stay,' and reinforcing boundaries.

We start with the basics of applying leash pressure, demonstrating how to initiate the pressure and the importance of releasing it the moment your dog complies. This balance ensures that the training remains stress-free and effective. For instance, to teach a sit command, we apply upward leash pressure until the dog feels it, then use a food lure to guide the dog into a sitting position. The instant the dog sits, the pressure is released. This process is repeated until the dog begins to sit with the mere application of leash pressure, showcasing their understanding of following the leash’s guidance.

This video serves as a step-by-step guide to mastering leash pressure, using it as a tool to unlock teachable moments between you and your dog. Watch as I demonstrate how to transition from using a food lure to relying solely on leash cues, emphasizing the smooth and cooperative nature of this training method.

As with our previous video on the "Around Command," we encourage creativity and adaptation in applying these techniques. Imagine the potential of combining leash pressure with other commands to enhance your dog's obedience and your communication with them.

Remember, the essence of successful dog training lies in making the experience enjoyable and rewarding for your dog. By utilizing leash pressure effectively, you create a positive training environment that encourages your dog to embrace learning eagerly. This video aims to inspire you to harness the power of gentle guidance through leash pressure, deepening your bond with your dog through clear communication and mutual respect.

A huge shout-out to Benjamin Zuk, our talented videographer and editor, for his exceptional work on this project. His skill and creativity have brought this tutorial to life. Follow him on Instagram to explore more of his creative journey: https://www.instagram.com/benjamin.zuk

Teach Your Dog To Ignore Animals/People/OTHER DOGS!
If you spend time on social media, you will have seen videos where somebody has a family dog and a young toddler or a baby in very precarious situations. It’s unnecessarily dangerous as the dog is giving clear information with their body language on how they are feeling! If we live with a dog, we need to understand how they communicate their emotions. We’re covering what to look for in canine body language, so you know what dogs are telling you.

In the episode you'll hear:
• My observations on what an adult Australian Shepherd is saying about interactions with a puppy.
• That a play bow does not always mean a dog wants to play.
• What your dog is trying to communicate to you and what to observe.
• How our dogs have complex emotions and how they tell us what they are feeling.
• Four books about canine body language to have in your library.
• How to really notice what your dog’s tail is telling you, including a left wag.
• About the way dogs use their eyes to express their emotional state.
• How dogs use body language to try and diffuse situations.
• Why to notice what your dog’s tongue is doing and what a dog’s yawn could be saying.
• The signals to look for in your dog’s ears, head posture, and body.

10 Ways To Teach A Dog To Lay Down And How To Shape It Without Luring #145 #podcast
10 Ways To Teach A Dog To Lay Down And How To Shape It Without Luring #145 #podcast
Do you ever wish your dog could really stay when you ask? Like when you're eating dinner, and you ask your dog to go on their mat, or maybe you put them in their bed so you can answer the door. There are many times in life when we want our dogs to wait with duration. Training your dog to stay no matter what, starts with them knowing what to do and when it’s over.

00:00 Train your dog to stay and wait with duration.
00:50 99% of “stay” is taught the wrong way.
03:49 Freezing from fear isn’t the same as stay.
05:25 Luring a sit-stay takes too long to learn.
06:28 Two cues for an amazing “stay” behavior.
07:00 Use an uncommon word for the release cue.
07:17 Definition of “duration.”
08:17 Levels of duration for dogs.
09:21 Control behaviors for dogs.
09:44 Four games for “stay” training.
10:04 Game 1: Collar Grab 
10:28 Game 2: Tug
11:07 Pro Tip: Reward the dog pausing.
12:46 Make ‘correct’ easy for your dog.
13:14 The Premack Principle of permission.
13:42 Game 3: ItsYerChoice
15:11 Game 4: Crate Games
16:14 Pro-Tip: Focus on ‘What to Do’ and ‘When It’s Over.’
17:15 Why my dogs never break a Start Line.
19:04 Dog training is about dog’s choices.
19:44 Dog behavior is information and communication.
20:20 Your dog is only as consistent as you.
21:25 Tips for Hot Zone stays.
22:44 Why I never use the word “stay.”
23:59 A: When the dog is ALLOWED to move (release word).
24:19 B: Build a BEHAVIOR (what to do).
24:29 C: CRITERIA (grow understanding).
24:53 D: DURATION (clarity for what to do and when it’s over).
25:23 WARNING: Don’t make this “stay” mistake.

In the episode you'll hear:
• The different ways of dog training a stay.
• Why lizard brain freeze is different to a dog understanding stay.
• How I start training duration behaviours like sit, down and stand.
• The layers dogs need from introducing a behaviour, so they can be an elite expert.
• How to start stay training easily with a puppy.
• Why I reward the pause to start understanding of stay.
• About knowing what you are rewarding and how permission is a reinforcer.
• How the Collar Grab Game, Tug, ItsYerChoice, and Crate Games help you.
• Why Crate Games, along with Hot Zone, grows your dog’s clarity for release cues.
• How to use ABCD so that your dog understands how to wait.

A Fun Way to Play & Exercise Your Dog While Boosting Obedience! Check out my top-rated course, From Novice to Pro: The Ultimate Guide To Dog Training, on Sit Stay Learn! It covers beginner basics to advanced techniques. Get it here: https://bit.ly/4jGVNNB In today’s video, we dive into the exciting world of the "Around Command," a versatile and engaging exercise that teaches your dog to navigate around objects such as traffic cones, poles, or trees. This command not only adds variety to your dog’s training routine but also boosts their agility, coordination, and obedience in a fun and stimulating way. 

We kick off with a step-by-step guide on how to introduce your dog to the Around Command, using it as a foundation for a dynamic drill that combines agility and obedience. Watch as we demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate the Around Command with a Spin Command, followed by a smooth transition into the Heel position. This drill is designed to challenge your dog's abilities, enhancing their athletic skills while ensuring they have a blast.

While this video focuses on the around, spin, and heel sequence, I encourage you to let your creativity flow and experiment with this command. Imagine the possibilities - directing your dog to circle the cone and then come into a Sit Front position, or having them run through your legs before settling into a centered position. These are just a couple of ideas to get you started on integrating the Around Command into your training sessions in new and imaginative ways.

Remember, the key to a successful training session is making it fun and engaging for your dog. By introducing these variations, you not only keep the training sessions interesting but also encourage your dog to look forward to learning new tricks. This video is all about inspiring you to explore the boundless potential of the Around Command, fostering a deeper bond with your dog through shared moments of joy and achievement.

In this video, my friend Jamie Popper, shows you three canine fitness exercises you can practice with your dog to increase their balance, agility and strength. Canine conditioning is an important part of a balanced exercise routing for your dog. Each exercise can be done on flat ground, then up on balance equipment like the Blue-9 Pet Products Propel Air Platform. If you don't have fitness equipment, you can also use couch cushions to create a stability challenge for your dog.

3 Simple Canine Fitness Exercises to Build Balance, Strength & Confidence in Your Dog
3 Simple Canine Fitness Exercises to Build Balance, Strength & Confidence in Your Dog
Puppy is 14 weeks old.  Below lists some of the training I did prior, which you can find in my video playlist 52 weeks of Puppy Eli: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0cn182auqQjfOaNvAm2acGV41YMc4akl

These are the steps I took to get to this video:
9 weeks - intro to cato board
9 weeks - going around stuff in various locations
10 weeks - intro to target plate
11 weeks - puppy station exploration - going on and under things
12 weeks - two target training, two target training with something to go around
13 weeks - going around two cones at a distance short distance from me
14 weeks - going around two cones, spread apart, and walk on cato board in-between them.
When I add something new, I don't abandon the prior, that continues to be worked and evolve on it's own too.

Beginning Work of Movement Puzzles - Dog Agility Foundation
Exercising a dog is vital for their well being and studies have shown that exercise is a common factor in the longevity of dogs. Below is the list of some of the things I recommended and do with my dogs, and things you want to watch for.

1. Hiking
Ideally off leash and preferably in varied terrain. If your dog needs to be on a lead, use a harness that does not restrict his movement. 

2. Swimming
When choosing where to swim your dog, be aware of Blue-Green Algae toxicity and select your water source carefully. Also, watch for the amount of water your dog might ingest when swimming if he bites at the water or grabs at toys as Water Intoxication is a risk. 

3. Underwater Treadmill
Exercise on an underwater treadmill can be better for your dog than swimming. It can take some of the pressure off your dog’s joints. 

4. Stair Work
Your dog walking beside you up and down stairs is good for both of you! You will need to train this with your dog. You can play Stair Masters in Home School the Dog.
https://www.homeschoolthedog.com/

5. Treadmill
Treadmills are great for exercise, but I strongly suggest that the treadmill you use is one that is specifically for dogs (I use DogTread). I only use the treadmill with my dogs walking or trotting, alternating between the two, with more walking than trotting.

6. Nose Work
You can start by hiding cookies under cushions and have your dog search for them.  Chances are you might have a Nose Work class near you. Jane Book has a great online course “The Dog Scents”.

7. Fitness Stations
Train and use tricks to get your dog to use his body. You can introduce fitness equipment especially for dogs, but there are many DIY options for you with things that you will have at home.

8. Recallers Games
Recallers is the foundation of all we do with our dogs, and the games not only create a brilliant relationship with our dogs but exercise bodies and minds too!
https://recallers.com/

9. Retrieve
Retrieving is fun to teach your dog and my “Bring Me!” program is in both Recallers and Home School the Dog.

10. Cycling
Use an appropriate leash attachment and don’t hold your dog’s lead in your hand.  Have your dog on the side away from traffic, and ideally avoid traffic totally. Make sure the surface you cycle on is suitable for your dog.

11. Dog Sports
There is a multitude of sports that you and your dog can enjoy together. You all know that I love training and competing in dog agility. My two online programs for agility are Handling360 and Agility Nation.
https://connect.handling360.com/
https://www.agility-nation.com/

12. Snowshoeing or Skijoring
These are great sports for winter if you live somewhere with snowfall. Make sure that the equipment you use is safe for your dog.

13. Dog Parks
Taking your dog to a dog park might be great, or it could also be an experience you would not want your dog to have, so be cautious before letting your dog into a dog park.

14. Day Care
Like dog parks, Day Care could be very beneficial or not a good experience for your dog. Do your research when choosing Doggie Day Care.

15. Technology
Remote feeders can help us create exercise games for our dogs. There are many brands available.

Make sure you start with exercise that your dog can manage and build it up gradually if your dog has led a more sedentary lifestyle, . Before starting any specific exercise program for your dog, he should be seen by a veterinarian to ensure there are no physical limitations. If your dog has been injured, consult with a qualified canine physical therapist or rehabilitation expert about your exercise routine.

The Game For Dogs That Includes Exercise AND Training!
The Game For Dogs That Includes Exercise AND Training!
If you're like us, you're always looking for fun ways to exercise your dog. Getting your dog enough exercise can sometimes mean that you need to do more than just go for a walk! If you have a dog in training, you can use exercise alongside your walking on leash training to make sure you don't waste any of your time with sub-par walking! Having a well-exercised dog at home also means you'll have fewer nuisance behaviors to deal with. Tired dogs get into less trouble than dogs who are stuck at home, full of energy! What's most important is that your dog ENJOYS their exercise, and by following the steps mentioned in this video, you can even strengthen your relationship and listening skills with your pup. The beauty of these tips for exercising your dog indoors is that you can do these exercises with any breed of dog at any age. In this video, Instructor Carol (a 5X World Champion Of Disc Dog) will teach you how to do some of the exercises that she does at home with her own world champion pups!

The Unexpected Way To Exercise Your Dog Using THIS Object
The Unexpected Way To Exercise Your Dog Using THIS Object
  • Tricks

Teach Your Dog The Paws Up Trick For A Picture Perfect Pose Let's say that we would like our dog to pose to get a picture taken. Recently in our community, Wag Nation, I did a little demonstration of how you can teach your dog the trick “selfie” where the dog will pose on your shoulders.

Now let's say you're out walking, you wanted your dog to pose on a log or to pose in front of you know, a building, or to maybe pose in some cute way with their paws up on your couch. So, that could be a behavior. Let's shape that behavior. But here's the critical point about shaping. You don't just go, “Oh, I want this behavior. I want the dog posing on these things.” You have to split that behavior down into smaller pieces. 

We want outside the box shaping. So, here's a simple, easy way you can do this. And I talked about this in my YouTube video on Target Training. Take a big blanket and you're going to put a blanket on the floor and you're going to give your dog the cue ‘search’ and toss a cookie away from the blanket.

So, the blanket's opened up really big, but we're throwing the cookie off the blanket. Why? Because when the dog eats the cookie, they're going to come back to you. When the dog comes back to you, you're going to say “search” and throw another cookie off the blanket. You might do that three or four times until the dog says, “Well, those cookies are great over there. I'm going to come back here really quick.” 

Alright, they're coming back on the blanket really quick. Now we're going to say “cook”, and we're going to feed them a cookie in their mouth. And then we're going to say “search” and throw a cookie off. Very quickly, the dog's going to be driving back to the blanket. If you were standing on the blanket, now you're going to get off that blanket. After a few more repetitions, you're going to fold that blanket in half.

Then you're going to fold it in half again. And before you know it, you have a little square of a blanket. That my friend is a target because I promise you, your dog will be coming in and standing on it with their paws. You could put the cue ‘pose’ with that blanket.

Now let's put it on a footstool. Let's put it on your couch. Now let's get rid of that blanket and take a little towel. Put it on the footstool or on the couch. And now we've got the cue ‘pose’ and our little towel. Let's get rid of that towel. Just say “pose” and point. 

I use the cue ‘paws up’ for this. Anytime I point to something, and I say “paws up” because of my blanket training, my dogs know, “Okay, I got this. I can put my paws up on that stump out in the field to take a beautiful portrait.” “Oh yeah, I can put my paws up on your shoulder to be part of the selfie trick.” Do you see the behavior gets split down and the shaping is easy for the dog to figure out.

The Simple Method to Teach Your Dog to Stay! Check out my top-rated course, From Novice to Pro: The Ultimate Guide To Dog Training, on Sit Stay Learn! It covers beginner basics to advanced techniques. Get it here: https://bit.ly/4jGVNNB Mastering the 'stay' command is seamless when built on a foundation of trust and consistency with your dog. This video dives into the nuances of effective dog training, focusing on key communication strategies including luring, markers, and leash cues. My approach is centered around the 'implied stay,' where a stay is automatically expected whenever a command is given. This eliminates the need for a separate 'stay' command, streamlining your training process.

We begin with simple exercises, like the 'climb stay' on an elevated platform, and gradually introduce more complex scenarios. You'll learn how to guide your dog onto the platform and reinforce their behavior using continuation markers or praise. As we progress, I’ll show you how to handle breaks in position with leash pressure, turning them into teachable moments that reinforce learning without rewards.

This foundational training equips you with the methods to effectively increase distance and prepare you to introduce distractions and apply the training in various environments on your own. By the end of this video, you'll understand how to expand your dog’s reliability in the 'stay' command using the strategies discussed. Tune in to transform your dog training approach and strengthen the bond with your canine companion!

Competition Dog Obedience-How to Train Drive and Motivation
Check out my top-rated course, From Novice to Pro: The Ultimate Guide To Dog Training, on Sit Stay Learn! It covers beginner basics to advanced techniques. Get it here: https://bit.ly/4jGVNNB In this comprehensive guide, I'll take you through the foundational steps of obedience training with a German Shepherd puppy, highlighting techniques that I've found most effective for training any new dog. The session begins with the basics of handling food for training, followed by a detailed demonstration of using a food lure to encourage your puppy to follow a straight line. This technique not only engages your puppy but also lays the groundwork for more advanced commands.

To kick off each training session on a high note, I'll share my personal method for getting puppies excited about training. Using enthusiastic phrases like "Are you ready to train?" boosts their eagerness and speeds up the learning process.

Next, we'll progress to more complex maneuvers, teaching your puppy to follow the food lure through six different positions relative to the trainer. These include lateral movements (left and right in front of you), heel positions on both sides, a center position, and a backward follow, which serves as a precursor to the recall command.

A key focus of the training is the timing of praise and rewards. Effective praise during the lure followed by rewarding your puppy at the end of the movement encourages them to re-engage with you, fostering a dynamic where the dog feels they are leading the session. This approach significantly boosts their motivation to train.

Additionally, we'll integrate sit and down commands within each position and movement to generalize the training, ensuring your puppy adapts to a variety of commands seamlessly. To conclude each session, a clear "all done" signals to your puppy that the training is over, helping them distinguish between training and free time.

Throughout the first week of training, I repeat these exercises about 35 times. Repetition is key to reinforcing the training and ensuring the puppy grasps and responds to the commands effectively. My approach emphasizes engagement, repetition, and positive reinforcement, aiming to establish a solid foundation in obedience and behavior for the puppy.

This video serves as a step-by-step guide to beginning your puppy's training journey, emphasizing patience, consistency, and the importance of making training an enjoyable experience for both you and your puppy.

Training your dog to drop the ball into your hand when playing fetch is a MUST for playing fetch. If your dog likes playing fetch in any weather, training them to bring the ball directly back to your hand will be a useful skill. It can also be transferred to a lot of other objects. Like a frisbee, or similar toys. This skill comes naturally to a retrieving breed. In this dog training video, I'm going to show you how you can teach this skill to ANY breed of dog! If your dog can carry an object in their mouth, they can learn to drop it into your hand!

All aspiring trainers understand Tom Rose’s lifelong love for dogs — they are a vocation, a calling, a passion. The school he founded is the culmination of that passion, and their students and graduates share his dedication.

Over the past four decades, TRS graduated a major percentage of the foremost trainers in the world. Employers snap up at their alumni.  Those who start their own businesses succeed consistently.

One very successful graduate put it this way,  “There is no other school with the experience and instructional track record of TRS. There is no other school that teaches many different training techniques, then encourages the student to choose the methods most comfortable for them."

Tom authored three major dog-training books. He won training competitions time after time with dogs he raised and trained. He pioneered and developed the celebrated Puppy Imprinting Program. He coined the phrase "imprinting" as it applies to dogs.  He is the first to import the Belgian Malinois breed to the United States.

Graduation from TRS depends upon successfully accomplishing industry-recognized objectives and requirements. The Tom Rose School curriculum is proven effective in meeting and exceeding those requirements. 

Lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on experience guide you to accomplish objectives that would take a talented trainer ten years to learn on their own. We have hundreds of graduates to prove how effective our programs are. They operate successful companies around the world, are top-level employees, they operate/teach at other schools and win championship competitions worldwide.

When you compare TRS requirements for graduation, the qualifications and experience of the instructors, and the time established in the industry it is clear why TRS is the only choice. It’s simple: if you want to be the best, learn from the best. If you have the desire, the passion, if you believe you have what it takes, apply today.

The tracking test for TRS Professional is identical to the requirements for IGP level I. The handler lays their track, minimum 300 paces, three legs (a leg refers to a straight path usually over 150 paces in length), two turns (approx. 90 degrees), two articles (articles are a strip of leather, carpet). After the handler lays the track, they must wait for a minimum of 20 minutes (usually more) before tracking with their dog.

In regard to the science part, keep in mind that when you are training your dog the science is always the same; what varies between each dog are things like motivation, perseverance, intelligence, temperament, disposition, etc. Being able to adjust for each dog’s specific needs is considered the art of dog training. 

Because of this, not all techniques work on all dogs; and as a result, you have to be able to adjust accordingly. For example, a dog with a very high level of perseverance will continue to work through a difficult task to get a reward—while other dogs may give up early.

I'll break down each step in a format that is easy to understand, but more importantly, easy to implement.  

In episode one, I will be introducing the first step that I like to teach a dog when training them on scent detection. Anytime I'm teaching a dog a new behavior, I want to first be sure to get the dog to perform the behavior with a physical cue. Before starting this exercise your dog should already be trained on their markers (conditioned reinforcers) and should be trained to be proactive. The links to learn how to teach these to your dog are below.
