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. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

http://www.sitmeanssit.com This video shows a fun way to do the ‘under’ command (using a chair) with a frisbee reward. I’m using a flimsy frisbee that is soft and that floats. I cannot throw a frisbee very well so I’ll never make it as a frisbee dog trainer obviously, but I do like using them a lot in my training.

http://www.sitmeanssit.com/contact/ A ’sit’ in motion is a great exercise to do with your dog, and especially around distraction. Being out in the real world with your dog, you will be confronted with distraction everywhere you go so it is best that your dog be prepared for it.

This is me and my dog ‘Nash’. “Nash” is a 3 year old Belgian Malinois. The other 2 dogs in the video are a 4 month old puppy yellow Labrador Retriever, and also a 7 and 10 month old Labs as well.

This is also a good exercise to do for any dog that walks ahead of you or pulls you, as will be explained in this dog training video.

A fun little trailer I put together from some footage I shot a while back with my friend Brian Hewitt and his dog ‘Hope’. ‘Hope’ got her name because Brian saved her at a shelter.

I have been working on so many things with Twix, but today we worked on him jumping over my back. However, I am not lifting up too much as he is still a puppy! I just want him to learn the basics and as he gets older he will be able to jump higher. He is such a natural and loves anything that involves a frisbee.

Enjoy!

Take care everyone!

This is a video of me working on some ideas for a double dog routine with Splash and Tug. Splash is 2 years old and Tug is about 9-10 months. I have had Tug for 5 months now, and he is simply brilliant, and really shows how only using Positive reinforcement really WORKS! I do not use any form of positive punishment with my dogs. Meaning they can never get anything wrong…

Working on more surpentines and threadles. My form is getting better and both dogs are following me much better! I know that agility is a lot the handler!!! I tend to make all the mistakes! Training a human to run agility is hard work!

I also worked on a few things for freestyle! I want to put more heel work in my next freestyle routine, so I must get to practicing and training it. Bandit and I like the fast stuff much better! Isabelle on the other hand does not mind going slow at all! I still love my Izzie busy!

Well all my YouTube friends, Have a wonderful Sunday Evening! See you all next week with Episode #2 on training a dog to come when called.

Also, it was just a fun day with the dogs!

Thanks for watching!

Does your dog react to people, dogs, cats, or things by barking, lunging, or growling at them?

Well, this game can help keep your dog from reacting and it will help build a positive association to all those scary, awful things that your dog is either unsure of or does not like. This game will help change the emotional response and how your dog feels about those things. Your dog say, “Hmmmm yummy treats appear every time a scary dog does, cool; I hope more dogs show up.”

Have a wonderful day and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Thanks for watching and do not forget to subscribe.
