im gonna try it on my cat lol
@Mr0HeRsHeYs Once the behavior is firmly established on cue, you phase out the rewards, first by making them less frequent, then random (unpredictable). The dog will keep trying, just like a dumb human at a slot machine. Dogs will keep the behavior on cue for a long time, requiring only intermittent “routine maintenance” of rewards, many of which can be praise or play rather than food.
just shut up she is trying to teach how to leave it. so hve some manners coz yous r just rude.
shut up this method sucks and its dumb cesar milan takes this bitch out
@MuttVids the clicker is stupid all its doing is cliking the treat is what means thats what i want u to do and im saying the method is stupid it might work but i think the method is stupid theres better ways of training a dog without treats cesar milan takes this bitch out she sucks
THAT WAS NOT GOOD!
@Mr0HeRsHeYs
No once the command is understood you faze out both the clicker and the treats. A dog that only works for treats is not a trained dog. The clicker and the treats are only there to help the dog understand what you want. The click says ‘Yes that’s what I want’ and the treat says ‘when you do this behavior good things happen’. You could use a word maker if you didn’t want to use a clicker..it’s not as instant as a clicker but if your consistent it works in the same manner.
that u need a clicker and that the dogs is gonna expect a treat everytime
If it works what makes it stupid?
Yes it will, that’s what makes leave it such an important command. If it didn’t work so many trainers and owners wouldn’t use it. When taught properly (this vid just shows one out of many ways to teach it) it should apply to all things the dog wants to get. You just have to teach your dog to generalize the command, leave it means leave it with food and people and dead birds and other dogs etc etc.
did i ever say anything about beating noo read things carefully before commenting
@RompePopola809
How your parents raised you is none of my business. However, if one’s parents punish them by grounding them, or taking away previllages, that’s acceptable and even welcome at times. Once the parents start beating, call social services, and see what they’ll say about it being a cruel or not. So if, by punishment you mean taking a way a previllages rom your dog, that’s fine. If you get used to beating it as punishment, that’s cruel.
no but that method is stupid and no your not gonna end up being cruel to your dog cuz if that was true then our parents were cruel too us
@RompePopola809
God damn Cesar Milan! Why is it hard for people to understand the difference? Yes, you can train your dogs by rewarding good behaviour, or punishing bad behaviour. If both methods work, why use punishment instead of reward? What is so hard to understand about this? one method can’t possibly hurt your dog, the other is contraversial and old school, and you’ll most likely end up being cruel to your dog without you knowing. Is that hard to understand?
um thats not going to work when the dog wants to eat a dead bird :/
i taught my dog the meaning of the word no by everytime h e tries to get something hes not supposed to i walk real close up to him forcing him to step back and everytime he tries to get something hes not supposed to i tell him no and he understands theres plenty of methods to train you dog without treats or gay clickers look at cesar milan he uses no treats or clikers
but how else would you do it? hit the dog every time it tries to get the food? that’s just going to make it scared of you. and scared of being touched by hands.
her method is the accepted one for all dog trainers and the kennel club.
that sort of makes no sense
your videos are informative, and you are cute too,,, thanks
how about dog poop?? what if your dog eat poops.. how do you train it without it eating poop? @.@
i dont like her method of dog training
I can see that those three questions are reasonable ones to ask. The 2nd and the 3rd were addressed by nimoonstar, but the 1st remains unanswered. I, too, would like to know why. (By contrast, the bitchy conjecture of vicg26 is bewildering and outright offensive, without contributing anything factual or anything useful to the discussion.)
1 I agree with the usefulness of teaching “leave it” and of teaching self-control and patience.
2 I was not referring to the dog walking around.
3 I was referring neither to 1 above or 2 above–I was referring to
3-1 the dog being worked with, and
3-2 the fact that he is being made to *eat from the ground*.
Clearer now, I hope. Cheers.
teaching leave it with food is extremely useful – it teaches the dog self control and patience not to go for the food (what if you were having a picnic?!) the dog not being worked with IS someone else’s dog that is at the park we were at. His owner was no where around and was blocked from what we were doing till he finally gave up and left to find his owner. This was filmed at an actual dog park. The one being trained was borrowed to learn this behavior on the spot.
