thank you so much
, I had just moved in with my aunt and my dog is a boxer(alot of energy). The door thing is an issue but we are starting to use this method
Thanks, we will try this.
My large dog senses the visitor long before they knock the door and spits out the treats. He has tunnel vision . He follows my commands the rest of the time though.
This will not work with my dogs. They hear someone coming way before a knock or door bell. And with the treats...if they hear the knock they will be barking as I give them treats..they will not stop. I believe thats only encouraging the behavoir.
hii.....my dog was also like that he would never play with toys or eat treats... What I then began doing was just rewarding them with a good pat on the back or a tummy rub. I slowly began trying the treats again and guess what he began likinh the treats... The tummy rub might work out well....it did for me .....hope it workss.....
thnxx alot....this video has really helped me!!!!!! My dog used to always go crazy when anyone came over and now he had improved thnxxx alot.....
wtf lady..i guess i should always have a fukin treat ready for everytime someone rings the dam door bell,..and my dogs get crazier the more they hear the door,..so..
ROLLover is an awesome dog treat...
The point is to desensitize the dog first of all in a controlled position. Notice how she lags the time, this means the dogs will be even more patient, allow you to go to the door and THEN get the treat. As a dog owner, you should always have treats to hand to reinforce good behaviour
I wish I could find the opposite video, I'd like my dog to bark when there is someone at the door.
lol man she is just giveing them treats lol they wont fucking learn at all
Okay.... I want to see her do this with a dog who HASN'T already been trained not to bark at the door (i.e. mine). Besides, training with treats ruins dogs. They only behave well in anticipation of the reward, and not because they respect you and see you as the leader of the pack.
What is the main difference between positive reinforcement and spoiling your dog?
I agree with your first sentence. She should do this vid with a untrained dogI completely disagree with the rest of your comment though. Treat training can work miracles! Notice how her dogs don't go crazy..it's because they've already been trained using positive reinforcement..obviously it works. The whole 'pack leader' thing is a very outdated concept that's been proven less effective than Positive training. My dogs are 100% positive training and they DO respect me and see me as a leader.
I'd say the main difference is that someone using positive reinforcement is training there dog and someone spoiling their dog is just over-indulging the dog.
There seems to be this misconception that Pos. training is nothing more than giving the dog treats..it's not. Pos. training is about timing, correction (withholding reward) and eventually fazing out the food reward. It's a very complex and through way to train a dog.
Oh, okay, I see what your saying about treats being a part of positive reinforcement, which I do think is a great idea. If it's a method that works, then that's great. I'm a new dog owner, so regarding treats, all I see is my mother giving our dog liver treats every time she does something cute, which is such a bad habit, and probably not very good for her health. I think sometimes we can reward her with a good chest massage or something
Yeah, it can be a great method to work with. Actually the reward when using positive reinforcement doesn't even have to be a food reward. Though most dogs respond the best to food rewards. Your mom is essentially training her dog to 'do something cute' because she's rewarding the behavoir. Though if she never fazes out the reward (be it food or toy) the dog will only respond when a reward is present.
Rewards like treats and play is only used when teaching your dog the command (or brushing up on training)..when the command is completely understood you start to faze the reward out so your dog will respond in all situations. If you never faze out the reward your dog will only work when they know the reward is going to be given. Really the food reward is (ideally) only used during the start of training a behavoir and later fazed out completely.
Good Advice
this video was good at the end, but she pretty much confused me with the way she said everything.
How about when training this to a puppy?? I'm getting my very first pup next year. When should I start? And what if he/she starts barking exactly at the same time the doorbell rings? I've got no time to reward quiet behavior.
I use a paper that I fold once and then I fold it almost all the way and then I push the thing down then I hit it and it makes noise my dog hates
i love it when my dogs bark at some one outside at the door its them saying come hear come hear where not sure whos at the door
she has a robot voice
god u guys suck
