Nyx Maybe nyx’s mommy will watch this She’s growing up becoming a big girl And you actually What are you doing Where’s that face Very good [Music] Wow [Applause] No great surprise that he’s not Particularly good with other dogs I know people hate to hear this but it’s Very normal for the breed Yeah Okay guys so i just talked to the lady a Little more about the dogs it turns out Um that he’s in he’s been with a Positive only trainer they’ve done a lot Of look at me nonsense or look at that Or whatever it is um it doesn’t really Matter in the end basically she said That over the last few months the dog Has become significantly more frustrated Than he ever was And she feels like that type of training Actually made him more frustrated which Is kind of hilarious But regardless he’s actually a really Sweet dog i really like him he’s very Social don’t just take that You know little dramatic view that we Made of him and and say hey that’s the Dog no he’s actually really sweet he
Lives with three kids he’s a great dog So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna Put him in our training system and then We’re gonna get him around some dogs and Teach him how to behave like a gentleman [Applause] Focus on your dog don’t even think about That one Good boy praise him pet him Good job he’s really working hard he’s Trying is Good A little uh he almost lost it there and That’s you just kind of watching him and Managing him Helping him And then getting that tap i want him to Know it’s from mommy Mommy’s upset with that behavior Dude go the other way Good job praise him Oh Oh Enter Boost [Music] [Applause] [Music] Bulldogs the pinch actually over excites Them so when you pop on the pinch collar You start to see them get more Abdominals and it’s really not like Giving a change in the behavior He is actually like he’s
He’s tough to it but he is respectful of The pressure i can suppress with The prong collar and it’s not like Getting more amp yeah a lot of bullies You’ll find especially the pinch collar Over excites them that’s when you go Slipping Right away you could go slippy caller With him but he’s actually Decently respectful of the bench he’s Actually not one of the strongest role Models i’ve had And a female I can get the response i want with him And for me right now anytime he looks Into my eyes and checks in on me he gets The truth Oh Oh [Music] Oh This is sadie She’s a puppy here for Our board and train little mini aussie Thing Off leash recalls Making a little bit of contact on the Handler but right now that’s okay we Just want to exuberant Just working on that 360 control with Sadie Good Very nice good [Music]
[Music] Freak We’re vlogging today so Apprentice aaron Is going to hold the camera And hopefully not screw that up that’s Test number one [Music] Now he’s not particularly dangerous Dangerous as in like you’re probably not Going to go to the hospital if he nails You because He generally gives you kind of Like he fights a little bit half-ass so To speak but he’s really learned that Whenever he feels pressure right on the Leash wherever that the solution to the Pressure is to neutralize the leash with His legs and then Try to bite the handler he has a lot of You might wonder why he looks so scruffy Right it’s a booby game well the reason Why At least i think it’s a booty it’s okay Right I don’t know it’s one of these black Fluffy dogs it doesn’t particularly Matter um Is he a schnauzer Giant Bottom line is with him he’s really Learned that the solution to any kind of Pressure Is to immediately fight the pressure
And um you know bite the handler he’s Really bad for the vet they can’t take Him to the groomer and so on and so Forth so it’s one of these situations um I don’t think he’s hospitalized anybody But you know he’s a big boy and he’s He’s a little bit a little bit of a hard Case he’s also a very brave dog a lot of These dogs that are like this are like Super nervous he’s a pretty tough brave Dog um so all those things in Combination It’s kind of like training a mule you Know so anyways um we’re a few weeks in With kepler Uh i’m Just going to go out and do basic E-collar work his muzzle just came off Okay And That’s big because he’s very wise to the Muzzle we did a lot of work with the Muzzle Just to create a lot of clarity with him So now the muzzle’s off so he knows it’s Off so there might come a time in our Little session even though this one’s Going to be a pretty easy session where The dog says you know screw you my Friend and uh you know we get into a Little bit of an argument about Something we’ll see i mean hopefully not Food motivated dog generally right a lot Of the time what people do with a dog
Like this is they’ll just kind of train Around the problem and oh look you know He’s lying down for pieces of food and Stuff but that’s not the owner’s problem The owner’s problem is when he doesn’t Want to do things and that’s going to Come up in your dog’s life i don’t care How much your dog loves you there are Going to be many occasions in which your Dog’s going to say screw you i don’t Want to do x okay And When he doesn’t want to do something and You say hey man you’ve got to do it That’s when it all goes to hell and That’s what it can get you know a little Bit nasty with him so A lot of what we’re doing now is just Teaching look man you’ve got to be Compliant we’re asking you to do stuff You’ve got to do stuff i know he already Loves his owners he can be real happy to See them the big thing is that he has a Different relationship with pressure Than the one that he’s had he’s about Five years old now so he’s pretty kind Of you know Um He’s pretty uh Set in his ways so We gotta kind of set a new paradigm and Get the dog doing something different so We’re just going to go and take them for A walk on this video
Contrary to popular belief this is not a Training tool You can’t really whip it especially a Dog like this into doing anything what It is i like to use this for dogs that Are funny about being touched Right Because it it gives you the ability to Kind of desensitize without risking the Fingers Right you don’t want to end up like hef So you know we’re just going to kind of Spend the session Touching the dog a lot Right and creating a situation where He’s just used to feeling sensations all Over his body like he’s real funny about Being touched on the neck and on the Ears he just does not like it right so Using something like this will help but Then it also prepares a dog when you’re Brushing him and stuff like this so the Goal of my session today Is to really have minimal conflict i Mean i don’t know if that’s going to be What happens right But the goal is for me to not have a lot Of conflict but now that i’ve taken the Muzzle off i can kind of open a little Bit of a different type of relationship With this dog Right so a lot of things that you see A lot of things that you’ll see people Doing
Right It’s what i call like fit like they got Clicker and the dog’s doing all this Cool stuff and you know like He’s doing all these like you know uh Kind of tricks in a room like this right And You know it looks sexy Sexy training but for a dog like this Sexy training is useless yeah i know if He’s motivated he’ll do stuff that’s not The problem the problem is when he’s not Motivated i need to give the clients For any for them to have any chance of Success with this dog I need to get them into the mindset that There is no i feel like it or i don’t Feel like it I have to do i want a compliant dog Right so that’s why a lot of our pet Comp training it’s not sexy right it’s Kind of repetitive it can be monotonous Right we spent a couple weeks just doing Repetitive reps with this dog and Getting him into a different mindset Right so sexy training you know it’s Entertaining But as for for pet dogs i find it’s Generally useless like it’s not Something that translates very well Into the real world where most people Aren’t operating a clicker in order they Know how to do one properly they just Want a dog who’s gonna listen to them
They want a dog that they can touch Without him nailing them they want a dog That they can take to the fat they want A dog who’s gonna come when he’s called He’s gonna sit when he’s told to sit Down when he’s told to down not go after Other people other dogs that’s a Different kind of training that is Functional training and it is very very Different Good boy Sit Break Very good This might seem like super super basic Stuff and it really is And it’s the fundamentals right it’s the Basic Behaviors with a dog like this who’s so Non-compliant and who’s so used to Self-satisfying Once we create strong Fundamentals with this dog it changes The mind of the dog it changes the Mentality of the dog it creates a more Compliant and open mindset right so that When we do things that he really doesn’t Like like grooming him to get these mats Out of him and stuff like this It’ll be a whole different thing so Moving Go on the grass Good job kepler so now he’s smelling i’m Gonna try and get him off the grass here
Kepler Good boy he’s willing to leave that Down Very good Place Good boy all the way place He hasn’t gone on this before And believe it or not just something so Simple like saying hey go on this new Thing Can actually cause a conflict so it’s Important to kind of Get the dog like i said in that Compliant mindset i told you to go on This thing let’s go on it break Kepler Place Ah place so here now i’m insisting i’m Not allowed to come off Good boy Good Some food reward there on the bed or the Skid i should say break So Again you know when when you run into These everybody always thinks i’ll just Deconflict i’ll reward him for doing the Things i want and he’ll want to do them He didn’t want to go into the kennel More than he wanted the food Right you really didn’t want to go back In the pen So now he started okay i have to go back So now i’ll start to try and deconflict
Now that he’s learned that it’s not okay To do the other things that he was doing Doesn’t mean that 100 percent that will Not happen Good job So this is where i’m going to use my Trust [Music] There you can see a little bit of the Em bothering ah Come here You can see there that’s the issues There you can see the eyes too Everything changes a little bit Right For high conflict dogs like this Good Good boys Here [Music] So [Music] So [Music] So [Music]
