Duke Ferguson Coaching Dog Trainers / Giving HOPE while learning self control
[Music]
so she’s excited and if she can’t so as
soon as she gets up me state now fixed
it down right so you don’t need to say
now already that stuff what you need to
teach the dog is you’re in control of
your consequences I’m just a helper I
want to come and feed you if you have to
get food I didn’t tell you to get take a
break so and we fix it
that’s perfect the dog still ears are
forward and we turn our backs walk
around a little bit and you’ll should
see when you turn to look at her and
walk towards her and you’ll be like that
its tail should start wagging you
shouldn’t see the intimidation or
anything it should go away and then
you’re gonna walk in and you want some
of this and if she stays in the down
position she gets it so she learns to
control that she learns hey I stay here
I make you come give me some room
service if I get to go get it I push it
away I’m the dog I’m in control of my
consequences the pleasant and unpleasant
ones this is just the person who’s kind
of in control this makes
and smart so she sits there and she was
so if you had a distraction of something
ran by she usually would go get it and
you must acknowledge that would be like
crap thinking that would be like a
little bit of a jackpot you can do
jackpots with a bunch it’s so if the dog
is high right and you’re using food if
she’s got really high Drive then you
want to do some of this calmness and you
can still use food if you do predictable
she knows that every time you turn I
stay here you come and give me this room
service over walk away over now she’s
too low and drive because releasing then
you throw the food which we did
yesterday my budget is flat so then when
I tried to teach her to catch it so here
are you because she didn’t have the toy
drive she’s a little suspicious as well
and now she’s a different dog today than
she was yesterday right you don’t want
to see the years back and stuff you see
to normal but our goal is to say I need
to take you to this happy fire in your
eyes but at the same time total
self-control but we’re not doing
anything technically we control all
those environments controlled us on the
food the freedom the darkness of life
everything but she thinks that she’s in
control of us and if you can do that
she’s the one that’s putting out trying
so she’s she’s doing what you want if
she passes a test and you’re do room
service then to keep this balance of a
little bit of drive and to to break once
in a while that creates that prey and
you throw it pray you do that sometimes
especially the dogs you had there few
minutes ago I thought came in suspicious
I don’t work the dog as much I want to
get them in a good mood I’m like you’re
not used to working you’re not used to
thinking whatever you’re not used to
pressure you’re not just learning and
doing what they want that’s why I’m here
it’s better the ones that are little
submissives left me a little bit more
come on you can balance the whole thing
pushy dog needs to come down to learn to
eat it’s a weak dog needs to learn to
become a little bit more pushy and
assertive team all the food so we can
use it for calm if she gives up
we don’t say now that we won’t bark no
because she’s sensitive yesterday she
was like even this morning when I walked
by I went to her the first piece of food
which was like oh man hey I’m not gonna
like just I just want to give you food
so she gets up she feels more
comfortable then maybe I come in a
little slower to help less excitability
or less submissiveness whatever is
alright and then there’s just a calm use
him up now today which is more hungry
today she was a couple days ago
got a little reserved in here you’ve got
a bank account that’s a non empty some
dogs don’t want to work some dogs with
hydraulic come out you do all day
so they they just take a break yeah
instead of she’s doing really good like
if I throw this right and she fail we
don’t want to set them up to fail
so what make it relative
Steinem called or not it’s been cookies
so why fight when was a good knowledge
and I would give one you can do
different things you could give one two
three it’s like a slot machine being
anything is wanted money and money or
maybe like homes down try again should
easily wanted to stay down but that’s
your goal
yeah and if we pass it again right she
pass another little test under like
sometimes sometimes right are you all
happy again so so she’s now he put up
anything
yeah cuz you want her to learn also to
go from a high excitable state to a calm
State this is a very simple thing but
it’s reading watching the dog when we
approach the dog if I was to walk up to
the dog and at a certain threshold she
starts like liquid and void in her head
like this dog needs more sugar than
so as she makes mistakes I’m just
gonna be super soft I’m just not going
to be like barking commands myself and
I’m just kind of and I’ll actually
literally say I need to change that
thought needs to be more hungry well
take them to food I literally say I got
some money for you right what have you
see that when they start licking and
stuff all stop for a second and you just
let them think for a second less
intimidation you know up a little slower
maybe not as much direct eye contact
but after time I want to give the direct
eye contact that whole feeling I don’t
want the dudes coming I’m
scared man walk in and walk away you do
that exercise all of a sudden and you
don’t have to go fast because
