When too much force is used in Dog Training it looks like this…….
all right in today’s video I’m gonna show you here what it looks like when a dog has had too much force in their training too early and for too long so in this first example I’m gonna show you here it’s a shepherd and this is my train the trainer Academy so this dog has been forced trained for four years and has never learned how to play in training and on my other videos I’ve just put up recently I’ve spoken a lot about this on why to start young and teach your dog how to play in training so we’re gonna use food here we’re gonna use chicken this is going to be the first time that this dog has ever really had food involved and to get a playful attitude during her training instead of being forced constantly into positions that the owner wants the dog to do so you’re gonna see here what happens now the objective that we’re trying to do here so this is the dogs first day really trying to learn and using food and clicker I want to do something simple so we have a little briefcase on the ground and we just want her to learn to put her feet on it and touch it to get a reward now normally this is a very easy you know exercise to get a dog to do right off the bat but I want you to see what struggle this dog goes through in trying to learn and learn something simple how difficult this became and you’re going to see while we’re here working with her she just completely checks out and just wants nothing to do with the training because even though there’s chicken involved for four years she’s only learned one-way obedience is not fun for her it’s been forced right so for her even though there’s chicken involved the reason she’s not really willing to play is because if she makes a mistake usually in forced training when a dog tries things on their own they get yanked with collars and we’re trying to teach a completely opposite thing right now to the dog and her owner here we go [Music] I go backwards to doing she’s like all funder [Music] now sitting there on the box Lister place place food lore please please that’s it yeah AC bike done goofer right do we fare after you do that tell her dad plots just wanna see something you can start but here so you see her attention goes yeah because she hasn’t learned how to play she doesn’t know what really she goes checks out she goes and does stuff she’s getting bored so she’s got to learn how to stay in rhythm so that might not be the right thing right now for this yeah so Frank might just have to go chase it cook treat change the clique treat take the clique treat click treat sick and I might just start going right because then she’ll start getting more active the dog is unwilling and wants no participation at all in this game even though we’re feeding her chicken and trying to teach her something in a very positive playful way so this is what happens when you don’t start young like another video I just did on how important it is to teach your dogs from a very young age how to play and stay positive now again if it’s just a pet dog doesn’t matter because the public the majority just once when I tell this thing I want them to sit when I tell them to stay I want to say when I want to tell them to calm I want to come they don’t care about how beautiful it looks how happy and playful the dog is they just want things to be done right now and I tell him he does it period okay so there’s a big difference in the goals for the regular public and somebody who’s trying to create a very high level game of dog training ok so you see this dog struggling she was willing to eat off the briefcase when the chicken was out of his hand not when it was in his hand here trying to lure her around please because she’s afraid to make a mistake if she moves wrong to the hand so when the chicken dropped by accident onto the briefcase she would eat it off the briefcase but then just left the game and flopped and that was it because she is afraid to make mistakes so here you’re gonna see an 8 to 10 month old puppy fresh straight very little force training up until this point and here just look at the difference of the first dog with the force training and the second one without the force training and you’re gonna hear the owner of the force train shepherd hold he’s holding the camera and he’s the one filming now with this other dog and you’re gonna hear him in the camera his frustration seeing the difference between the do dogs now starting in a different manner man oh that’s ridicu no that’s bull you don’t even need that that’s it that’s it [Music] you’re a single Frank for years prong collar pressure so you hear clearly the frustration of the owner of the struggling Shepherd because you wish as a trainer or an owner of a dog if you’re again looking for high performance and you want a spirited dog that you would have done things differently at earlier stages now it’s never too late but there can be performance differences the dog has to be very very very high level food driven to get the fancy and all that but here just shortly after teaching her finally she started putting her feet on and getting food and here we changed it to a bucket and you’ll see here her getting a little playful with the owner now that he’s got food and she’s loosened up and how to play so you’re gonna do right there just start doing your and now start to do your turns [Applause] good and and do this right oh yeah do whatever you’re doing with your hands at your sides or yeah outside of her head [Applause] and I feed again yeah and just feed her straight on like that perfect because that exercise to that would have been what it would have looked like in the beginning when we first started just to get them to spin and turn like that that was the purpose of that to get that behavior she and now she stays on the box and does her exercise beautifully while getting a little playful wagging her tail and then here just to show you an example of a few dogs that I have that I show in many of my videos so the people have seen my videos and really watch my videos hang in there because this here I’m gonna duplicate some things here with some dogs showing things I’ve showed in other videos but a lot of people I hear from have never seen a lot of the videos with the puppy starting with the clickers and my glowing retrievers and the Malinois puppy all that stuff so I’m gonna show it again here because I do hear from people that they they personally haven’t seen this Malinois puppy or my own golden puppies so here I have another video out saying you should start as young as possible and teach puppies how to learn make them enthusiastic about training so here I’m gonna just show you first this is khalessi Malinois puppy I think he or she was maybe five or six months old and we were teaching her how to touch this little stick here and her touch it with her nose on cue and get a treat so this is what we call learning how to learn so you see here this was our first day doing it and very quickly she picked up how to touch this thing with her nose on cue to get a reward [Music] [Music] [Music] and then backtracking a little bit this is Khaleesi and my Gojira puppies when they were younger getting treat trained and clicker trained to teach them motivation and how to learn how to learn and be enthusiastic about the learning process good good yeah good good great sit and then again for those people who have seen my videos before I’m sorry to repeat this but there have been a lot of people who haven’t seen these things that I’ve been hearing from so this is the after of these Golden Retriever puppies that were taught how to play in training now later so you have the goldens and the mal wah puppy that I just showed you here at this young age learning how to learn and here they are later in their lives finish Oh No sit [Applause] and then the most difficult thing is here putting everything together one time told when you start to pair exercises which I’m gonna be putting out instructional videos on how to build these behaviors positively and then connect them all and link them all to get fluid behaviors and performances that they’ll do 10 15 20 things in a row for you fast in one shot without hesitation but here this was putting it all together and making them put the pieces together once they’ve learned behaviors don’t they sit back down please come sit dude back down there’s it come sit down so again I’ve done other videos on this not particularly exactly like this but in the same you know concept of if you want a performance dog if you want a dog that really gets high speared you’re gonna compete if you’re a trainer you know you should be learning these methods because it just ups your game of making you a better trainer knowing all methods and all techniques if you’re a pet dog person it doesn’t matter and again for 20 years I’ve and thousands of dogs a year for the public and I’m telling you that maybe one person the whole year cares if they have all the fanciness and that to put the time and dedication and effort into that for the public it really isn’t they just want a functional dog so this route for the general public is not really the route that they will take but if you want a high performers dog you want to have fun with your dog and you’re not demanding right now to have your dog listen to everything you tell them because this then this is how you go about that so I just wanted to give people a little look into what happens if you try to pressure dog too much in training too early now this dog has great potential fantastic dog has great Drive if she would have been started very young this dog would be phenomenal and it’s not that she can’t be not she’s fantastic I have protection videos of her upon my youtube channel I mean she’s a fantastic performing dog there’s just things she has to work out a little bit to make her more our upbeat in her obedience game but she listens she does all her stuff so now it’s just a matter of choice where the owner cares about that or not so just want to give you a look and the difference is in what things look like if you go about things in certain ways because there’s many different routes and dog training and different methods how to get to different places so I hope you enjoyed the video until next time Miami Dog
