This is a continuation of “the most important things to train your new dog or puppy”
This tutorial goes over how to teach eye contact as well as how to teach your dog to look at you whn you make an attention noise or say his name.

Hi Emily really …
Hi Emily really love your videos. Would you do one on helping a very aggressive food resourse gaurder. 18mth Golden Cocker had already bitten 3 times I was making progress but owner feeling wary of the pup now and her fear is noticed by the dog. HEr ralationship with him broke down when advised by another “trainer” to follow dominance rank reduction methods so now I am having to deal with the problems that damage did. many thanks and keep up the good work!

Love Love Love the lineup on the sofa watching a new dog get treats. To me, that says it all about your training methods. Great stuff!!

I use the letter “X” as a marker. It is not a word I might inadvertently use while praising my dog “Yes, good boy, almost . . . EX!” *treat* he responds to it very well, I think it’s the sharpness/distinctness of the sound that helps get his focus.

Hi Emily, This is …
Hi Emily, This is SUCH a crucial foundation exercise. It’s where we begin with every dog we work with here at the shelter. IF you don’t get this, you’re not likely to get any of the other stuff you’d like. Keep up the great work! ~ Terri

I also note many games, sports, dancing are done with border collies. I’d like to see some trainers really making inroads with non-border dogs. Borders tend to be much easier to train–on the whole, right–?

Perfect!
Love what …
Perfect!
Love what you got your little one to do by-way of backing up, sideways and circling. Can you click me to the link for those lessons?
next/last question: how long do you train for any given trick/command/behavior? How many do you teach at one time? Do you repeat during the day? If so how many times? do you wait until they’ve gottit before moving on to the next trick/command/behavior. Mine has real difficulty with distraciton. So this video is great

Love the default settle of all the other dogs! That is incredible. Most people can’t even get that behaviour with one dog let alone four in the same lounge with distractions.

Your videos are so helpful! We had a tiny run in with our obedience teacher tonight when he asked me why I didn’t give my pup the Stay command. I told him I was teaching him a sit means sit and a down means down. He wasn’t happy…oh well, I like your methods and am going to keep using them. I’ve had tremendous results in only a week!!

im so glad you made this video i tried training my dog this a couple of weeks ago, but she is very shy and doesn’t like to look at my eyes she looks at me but keep her face pointing down so its hard to see her eyes and she wont stop doing this

Hi kikopup,
I have to remember not to use it around distractions. (the hard part)
I’ve …
Hi kikopup,
I’ve made some good progress recently with a whistle.
Not an actual hand held whistle, a soft whistle using my mouth. (not loud no fingers)
I’ve never whistled at Princess because I’m not very good at it
She gets really excited the second she hears it and usually makes a mad dash back for the treat.
IT”S WORKING!
Thanks again!
See you next time
