I decided to reinstate the Kikopup’s dog training tip of the day! A way to create short insightful fun videos with tips and tricks for training your dog or puppy, instead of only focusing on in depth tutorials on my youtube channel. Let me know in the comments if you are enjoying these tips as well as if you have any ideas for future Dog training tip of the day videos.
Thank you so much for watching!
Happy training!

Hello everyone and good morning i Thought i would re-implement my dog Training tip of the day on my channel Kikopop on youtube so that i can talk About interesting and really useful Advice every day without having to sit Down and make a complex tutorial because What can happen is that it can take me Quite a while to make these tutorials That are in depth with all the steps About what to do and what to do when Things go wrong so i thought i would Create these useful fun tips that you Can just watch really quickly and keep Them short and fun so enough talking About that so we can keep it short but Today i want to talk about teaching your Dog to work for toys so that they can Increase their speed doing behaviors so Bliss is nine months old i would usually Wait till the dog is around 12 months Old When the behaviors are really reliable And they really find playing with toys Reinforcing so you really want to have a Clean reinforcement delivery with the Toys and i don’t have it just yet with Bliss so that’s why i’m going to show You Sometimes when i ask him to drop it i Haven’t really worked on it because i i Have three young dogs and he’s my Service dog so we’ve been working on Other behaviors
More than getting him interested in Working for toys so much more calm stuff Using food and so now’s the perfect Opportunity Now you want your dog to have strong Behaviors that they know very reliably For food so they can do the behavior Spin or twirl or maybe sit is the Strongest behavior for your dog or leg Weaving And then do it in different environments Ask for multiple behaviors and if your Dog is reliably doing behaviors you can Move on to using toys where your dog is Reliably taking it dropping it or Fetching it nicely before you then do The training So i just want to warm him up by getting Him interested in playing with the toys So i can see that the behaviors are Reliable that he’s going to get it when I say get it and drop it when i say drop It are you ready blissey ready Get it oh good boy That made everyone drop so if he doesn’t Drop i’m gonna tap the frisbee and get Him interested in the other one what’s This what’s this good get it Awesome Drop Good Get it good job drop get it nice drop Get it Drop get it so um what i suggest for
Myself is to work on this exercise three Times you know maybe this morning or This morning and this evening or three Days in a row and really drop get that Cue where when i say drop the toy he’s Like blip and he spits it out because he Wants to spit it out drop Good get it so if you were Wanting to rush things If you’re gonna play tug with your dog And they don’t drop reliably when you’re Tugging you can let go get it And then say drop And then they will be more reliable Letting go of the toy if you’re training A behavior and they’re getting super Excited because you don’t really want to Ruin your drop as you’re trying to Increase speed in a behavior because Then when you try to use toys in the Future it’s going to turn into a please Can you drop that Are you ready he’s ready Are you ready free so i would like to Teach him to spin a little bit faster so What i’m going to do is use the toy as a Lure which we’ve also worked on are you Ready twirl Get it good job good job and because i’m Not sure if you’ll drop it i’ll say drop After i let go Ready and if he starts to jump for the Toys i can just wait And make sure he’s focused again
Ready twirl Spin Twirl Get it good job drop Good get it Drop and because drop isn’t a very Reliable behavior Yet because i haven’t worked on it Drop I’m gonna start Working on drop and get it as well so Those are two behaviors drop get it as Well as spinning drop get it Drop Get it Ready are you steady Ready twirl yes and twirl and twirl And twirl And spin And spin And spin ready spin Go legs Go legs Go legs Go legs Ready sit Sit pretty both paws Twirl go legs Sit Pretty Both paws can you do both paws spin Can you spin Good go legs and down Down
Down cross Down switch ready go get it So i’m re-engaging him when he slows Down by moving the frisbee like this and Getting him more excited Now if i hadn’t worked on multiple Behaviors before a treat this is going To really frustrate a dog working for a Toy so that’s why i suggest working for Multiple behaviors and really building Those behaviors strong before using a Toy ready one two three four uh spin Spin one two three spin one two three Spin Ready go legs And catch it This is my boy halo he’s three and he Used to be slow and steady when he was a Little pup because i worked on Duration without frustration with the Treats and here he is at three and you Can see i can get him really fast if i Want to And he’s not going to get over excited He’s just fast with Precision Woo good So i can use A toy as a lure I can turn around and i get that really Nice behavior of him bringing it back And dropping it catch it Whoo bring drop do you see how fast that Is that’s why you want to work on those
Behaviors Of the reinforcement delivery drop so i Have quite a few get it where i let them Get it like that drop twirl get it drop Spin get it drop go legs get it drop go Around Go around get it Drop go circle get it good drop and he’s Not going to bite my hand Because we worked on it Woohoo did you trip Drop And we can use the toy to train this is A game that i use to build speed and Reinforcement without frustration ready Twirl get it drop spin get it drop twirl Get it drop go legs get it drop go round Get it Drop go circle get it boom drop Drop And then i proof the get it By not saying it yet so it’s like as Simon says get it good drop Get it Drop Get it drop twirl get it oh that made Everyone excited because that’s the game They play Drop Ready this is for wish woo wishy go Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy wait Unwind unwind unwind unwind unwind Unwind wait Up
Woo hoo wish and halo here are actually The world record holders for the most Tricks done in 60 seconds because They’re so fast are you ready both plus Left turn go go around Go around watch out cloudy watch out Cloudy Can you wave can you wave yeah Well see you later guys
