Obedience work with German Shepherd - 14wks old
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

At 14wks, German Shepherd puppy, Cooper, needs to practice basic obedience in all conditions. This is his first time seeing snow. He has learned a lot in the past 3 weeks. We worked on his basic commands of: come, sit, down, stay, talk (1 bark), tell me (2+ barks).

Very smart german …
And this is very good that you used clicker training!
Very smart german shepherd pup.
I used kibble at …
I used kibble at the time, and I chose to work when my dog was hungry. At 9-weeks old- your dog probably only has about a 5-10min attention span.
Another trick to engage your dog- keep a happy, upbeat voice & move around a lot. Act like another puppy yourself when engaging your puppy, so the dog thinks training time = playtime.

what did you use for the treats?
I just got a german shepherd puppy about four days ago (9 weeks old) and he wont pay attention and gets tired of the treats very quickly. it’s very discourging
please help
Nice

Personally, I use the clicker to introduce new behaviors OR to shape ones already associated with commands. Once the dog “gets” it, the clicker is phased out, but used for reminders or touch up occasionally.
Honestly, our dog LOVES the clicker b/c it represents a chance to earn treats. So when we bring it out, he offers us his best behaviors and some new ones too.

One last comment… …
One last comment… There are different ways to accomplish the same goal & more than 1 method can work—esp given dogs have individual personalities like we have.
I posted 1 way of getting a dog to bark on-demand. Yet other means work as well (from my experience, varies some w/each dog). Also had success getting dog to bark or growl on queue from past frustration… Last time I did that, my dog barked as I insisted she back away further from me b4 I’d toss her tennis ball, she talked back.

Skywidedesign…. I’m happy to see your videos esp after viewing some dreadful practices in dog training (punitive mostly & largely ineffective leash-yanking; feel so bad for the poor dogs).
You, on the other paw, are just right IMO. Very positive, providing a safe learning environment, effective, humane, knowledgeable, consistent, supportive. Your pup looks secure, happy, proud of himself, eager to learn more. Also, he looks at you at all times (for your guidance). Terrific!
@geaboi96, what’s …
@geaboi96, what’s worked easily/quickly w/my 3 past GSD’s — When ur dog barks (on their own), immediately assign that action w/a word or phrase that you will use consistently in the future to Initiate their barking. So, dog barks once, you instantly say “talk 2 me!” & w/very positive attitude (dogs sense our mood & intention). This video’s trainer also uses Audio Reinforcement to let pup know Instantly that he got it right (even b4 she gives treat w/verbal praise / affection).
great job …
great job impressive!
Nice Work. At this …
Nice Work. At this early age, I was happy just to stop my dog from eating electrical cords in the house. However, she’s very well trained now. At 3 years old, she’s settled a little and more mature. I found that building drive was a very important thing to do early on.
These are just …
These are just amazing dogs. We just got our first German Shepherd a month ago and she is 3 1/2 months old. I was going to hire a dog trainer to begin her basic obedience in the next couple weeks, but after watching a few of these videos and reading up on some tips, I decided to try the basic commands myself. In about 30 min time, my puppy has learned to sit, come, stay, and down through positive reinforcement and stern speaking. I am so impressed and the info in these videos are just great!

To get a dog to bark, you have to get it in a high emotional state. Frustration works well. Show your dog his food bowl (with food), then hold it up high and wait. Your dog might offer you other learned behaviors to get it.
When a treat is not forthcoming, barking usually follows. When the dog barks, reward it with the food.

West Virginia. A one-time breeding from a German import and a female with Czech lines. The female was a service dog to a child with severe Cerebral Palsy, and had great restraint and drive. We had looked at litters for over 4 months.

Lots of time around people when he was young.
I carried treats with me at ALL times, and gave strangers (who wanted to pet him) a treat. The dog thought EVERY person was great, b/c they all gave him his favorite treat!!
I also protected him from scary situations,
(example: lots of little kids running up) until he was old enough to be able to deal with it.
