Vast subject there’s so many Intricacies and details and everything Changes from dog to dog and owner to Owner so instead of trying to make a Blanket statement saying you need an E-collar you don’t need an e-collar i’m Going to tell you guys a quick story That relates to the e-collar and i want You to just think about this I want you to think about this feel free To ask follow-up questions you can even Holler at me on the next video if you Missed this live but i’m going to tell You a little e-collar Story if you will okay i’m going to try To make this quick so i can get to the Questions e-collar My dog freddy we all know my dog freddie Right if you watch he’s right now like a Year and a half uh belgian malinois Great dog training’s going great all Good i like him my property we have a Big chunk of land on the on the right And then we have a big chunk of land on The left and it’s all fully fenced in On the right is my Ring field it’s the pond That’s where i do all my training with Him Is like on that field that’s where we Train Now the couple acres i have over on the Left it’s got a bunch of trees a garden Chicken coop that’s where i always just
Sense a puppy i just let him run around Over there run around go potty we don’t Do any formal training over there we Just do our training on the field and Whatnot so he’s just used to running Around doing whatever over there okay so One night i was over there i was letting Him run around you know maybe i was Having a little adult beverage or Something and he’s running around And we live on a private street so it’s Quiet but there’s another street at the End of the property where cars will whiz By He starts chasing the cars On the other side of the fence cars Driving oh i’m a malinois something’s Moving and he starts chasing it and he’s Barking at it and look i’ll be honest i Thought it was hilarious i’ve never seen Him do that before the fence is super Secure i know he’s not going over it He’s not going through it so he chased a Couple of cars he barked at him he was All hyped up i got a good chuckle out of It hey it beats him getting scared and Running away right so whatever so i Called him the car drove by he barks i Call him he comes to me i put him away Okay Next day following day Andy what’d you do now He sees the car oh i’m gonna chase and Bark i’m gonna chase him for and i was
Like okay well probably shouldn’t let Him do this huh we should probably We should probably stop this right So He takes off to go chase one It’s fence don’t worry he’s not gonna Get hurt he takes off I recall him now freddie’s got a great Recall i don’t use an e-collar for Recall i don’t really use force of any Kind he just i just taught him to come When called So he’s got a pretty good re so i call Him away from the car He starts coming and then he stops and Then he thinks about going back And then i call him again and he comes And i’m like oh Now i’m creating bad habits with his Recall dang it i gotta fix this dang it Andy There might have even been a time or two To where he took off to go chase it i Called him and he just blew me off he Just ran and i was like okay uh Definitely need to fix this that’s what You get The reason this is relevant Is because most would go e-collar My dog knows how to recall He’s executed it time and time again for Over a year He knows what it is You could say he’s choosing not to do it
You could say Whatever you want but he’s not executing It when i want him to So he needs to be corrected and he’s off Leash so it needs to happen on an E-collar Could i have Knowing he chases the cars now Could i have put an e-collar on him He starts chasing i call him he doesn’t Come He comes back and i go Yeah see i fixed it could i have done That Yeah And technically on paper would that have Fixed it right then and there you could Make an argument for it And people would say oh yeah that’s a Good use for an e-collar i want my dog To come when called reliably Now let me tell you why i didn’t use one And let me tell you what i did instead In that moment when i was assessing And game planning for what happened I thought well i’ve never really done a Lick of formal training over here with Him One I’ve never done engagement work over Here with him this is just a section of The property where he just runs around And is a dog I’ve never
Just brought him over there for a Training session on a long line with Food And done engagement with recalls I’ve never taken him next to a busy Street And as cars whizzed by I had him on leash Boom and was just engaging with eye Contact and paying him five minute Challenge look it up i never did any of That over there Guess what i did Got a toy got his food Got his leash and flat collar And i went over there and i did a bunch Of training Maybe one time he was tempted as a car Went by to go chase but it’s impossible Because he’s on leash he got blocked i Re-engaged Boom After working with him i wouldn’t even Say i logged an hour over a few sessions Over there with him his recall not only Has been perfect he just doesn’t chase Cars anymore he just doesn’t he just Knows i don’t want to now He’s the right dog for me with the right Lifestyle and good genetics so that’s All crucial but my point is where Everyone would be quick to jump right to An e-collar There’s a better way to do it for me
There’s a better way If you’re a dog trainer or a dog owner You have a dog or a client dog who is in Your fenced-in backyard and runs across Barking at the neighbor’s dog you call Them they don’t come They would normally cut so you want to Slap an e-collar on them how many hours Have you logged with just straight Engagement In that environment oh my dog is dog Reactive out on walks i’m going to put An e-collar on and correct them how many Hours before you do that how many hours Have you logged just engaging the dog And playing with the dog Around another dog probably none So i just want to tell that story about Freddy over on my couple acres there Chasing the cars Could i have used an e-collar I guess i could have but i don’t want to And i like e-collars I don’t like the way 99 of people use Them but i like e-collars I like hammers too it helps me build Projects i don’t like when people whack Other people in the head with hammers Doesn’t mean i don’t like hammers and The e-collar’s the same way So i wanted to tell that story because Before you jump into an e-collar You need to put in the honest work they Have their time in place
It’s a finishing tool And if i did use the e-collar there i’d Kind of just handicap myself Because now if my dog ever blows me off On a recall i think i need my e-collar E-collar eco where’s my button without My e-collar i’m screwed I don’t think so without any collar i’m Screwed so So who does the dog respect Does he respect me and my voice or does He respect a collar oh i don’t want him To respect the color you kidding me i Buy his food the caller don’t buy his Food he should respect me So anytime someone asks me an e-collar Quest I correct the dog for this should i Correct the dog for this Well you never taught them to do it Correctly in the first place And if you can’t bring your dog who Chases cars if you can’t bring them over To a busy street and just engage them And hand feed them and play with them And have them not worry about that then You haven’t mastered the basics you have No engagement And you need to do that before you start Trying to correct the dog on the E-collar Maybe that was rambling maybe that was Nonsensical but it was one example and It because someone asked a question one
Time about dogs chasing a car It’s just one example of how i could Have used the e-collar but i didn’t i Did old-fashioned training i pretended Like e-collars don’t exist and i solved It At least for my purposes right now i Solve that with just good old-fashioned Dog training So i’m not against e-collars but 99 Of the time They’re implemented In the incorrect way My opinion so do you need an e-collar Maybe in the long run You’d like to have one and it’s a good Tool but If you need it to fix something you Don’t need one If you have nothing to fix but you want To layer in that tool For some of the benefits that it has That’s a different conversation but if You’re looking to fix to stop to break a Dog from doing something Training first E-collar second okay i’ll shut my mouth We got a million questions Let me take a sip of the old the dog Oasis market maybe i should sell these Bad boys Think about that e-collar stuff guys Because any question you have where you
Go oh do i need an e-collar here Has the dog done it really well a bunch Without first I’m ready to learn what’s up Let’s light it up andy we lighten it up Baby we’re literally lighting it up Because last week my freaking power was Out right as i started this so it was All dark and weird so yes we are Lighting it up I’m wearing the e-collar right now Got my he bite shirt yesterday good Stuff thank you john appreciate the Support i know that bad boy’s soft and I’ve washed I’ve washed mine a ton already and it’s Holding up really nice the sizing i’m Really happy with this this stylish Shirt Hello friends cassie let’s go Alexa hey andy i have a service dog the Only problem I have is that when Go to the park for him to relax and be a Dog he kind of just sits and looks at me As if he’s still working i want to fix This I’ll buy merch soon i promise i’m not Answering till you have a shirt i’m just Kidding i’m just kidding Okay so service dog okay so if you have A service dog that means the dog is you Know working a lot Probably conditioned to be focusing on
You and alexa’s having a problem Breaking him from that And just getting him to run around and Be a dog well alexa what you have to do There is you have to get a long leash Uh 15 20 30 feet it can be retractable It can be a regular long line and if You’re able i just hold on to the end of The leash So he has all of it And i don’t make eye contact i don’t Talk to him i don’t pet him i don’t Acknowledge him in any way i just walk Around I just walk and i just ignore him and i Just walk around And for a dog that’s real tuned into you And Is Not wanting to go relief just Don’t pay a bit of attention no eye Contact no petting no talking Just walk around walk around I found that you know it may take 10 Minutes may take a couple trips going There But the dog does loosen up eventually Toy drive would be really nice here Because you could just get a little ball A little toy You could just throw it That’d be my suggestion for that All right let’s see what we got here Good job thank you i’m going to buy one
Of each and wear them all at once Absolutely you need to do that kyle you Will if you put if you buy every shirt That i have and you wear them all at Once it’s actually bulletproof so you Can have no fear Just kidding just kidding wear them all At once I love it Does dog hair cling to the shirts like Crazy Well depends how much dog hair you got Sitting around if you lay down in a pile Of it it probably will but i mean Mine’s pretty cool i haven’t had that Too much what’s up Baseball caps are a must that’s a great Suggestion matthew i gotta get some hats Up there i’ll work on that Alexa do you like tom davis no i sure Don’t Rascal i found out my dog has arthritis So i plan on letting her rest and Getting another dog that i can train Yeah the arthritis is tough man that can Happen Definitely better to let that dog chill And be a little less active i recommend Uh cbd for dogs with arthritis He doesn’t like Rascal knows i don’t like Ah let’s see here Two-year-old dog with oh is the dog too Yeah i don’t know
Well two-year-old dog can have arthritis You know if their genetics aren’t great How do you feel about flirt poles to use In place of a tug my dog loves it Thomas i really i I like flirt pulls i do like flirt pulls But it they’re only for dogs at a Certain stage Like if you have an adult dog That you just like play flirt pull with A bunch to get them tired like i mean It’s not bad i guess but Um i prefer a flirt pull for like a Brand new puppy or for like trying to Pull drive out of an older dog that’s Never had training that’s just my Preference though they’re not bad Hi andy will you post video about Perfect recall training Great question if i did It would be on my patreon Because you need to pay your boy for That one Um I’ve been thinking about that it’s Tricky just because every dog And their lifestyle is so different from The next Perfect recall training it’s it’s more Dependent on the dog’s day-to-day Lifestyle than actual like formal Training sessions there’s a million Formal sessions under the sun that we Could do to help recall training but a
Lot of it comes down to the dog’s Lifestyle and the dog’s relationship With you so it is kind of a tricky Subject but i have been thinking about Doing something like that See what we got here Thank you amina love your approach You’re literally the only trainer i’ve Found who has similar philosophy is mine I love tools but people are too quick to Use them Exactly Yep some people talking about some Arthritis stuff here you can read Through that if you like Here’s ashley hey all patreon here from Virginia andy you make too much sense Right You make too much sense between the Patreon and youtube you answer my Questions before i ask them Love it thank you ashley ashley you Still you still bringing your boy here Soon We still doing board and train Patreon let’s go Could you give us an example on when you Use an e-collar with freddy Um Ah He’s a bad example cause i don’t I don’t use an e-collar on freddy i will But I just haven’t
So he he’s not a great example Of when i would use an eco i don’t use a Knee collar on him but you know i The fact that i don’t i chalk that up to He’s the right dog for me His genetics are very good and his Lifestyle and environment are on point Sometimes guys and of course i’m not Going to make any specific examples But sometimes A person will have a dog and love a dog But the dog isn’t like just right for Them it’s like any other relationship Right you and your dog you and another Person Another person could have all the great Qualities you could love them But maybe you two together just aren’t For some reason So sometimes you get a dog that isn’t Like the perfect match Some problems Can arise and happen if the environment Isn’t Well suited for the dog Problems can happen like you know if You’ve never had a dog before you’ve Never done any training before in your Life and you get a german shepherd or a Malinois and you live in a one One-bedroom apartment on the top floor On a busy road with no green space Anywhere Like you’re just gonna have problems
Whereas me not to try to sound like i’m Mr cool but me i could get like three Malinois and three german shepherds at Once and probably not have any problems If the the genetics are good a lot has To do with the environment a lot has to Do with the lifestyle Scrolling back up Dk Break bread K-n-l-s i don’t know who that is Put A video of him beating on a pup today While bathing How does that fool have 5 000 plus Viewers well I ain’t one of his viewers i know that I don’t know man there’s a lot of Goofballs out there and that sounds Terrible but there’s a lot of goofballs Look Ma i don’t like mcdonald’s okay personal Preference i don’t like mcdonald’s i Don’t eat mcdonald’s if you do that’s Cool i don’t care I don’t particularly like it i don’t eat It I think it’s they serve the most people In the world every day i don’t think There’s a restaurant That that sells more Daily than mcdonald’s so a lot of people Like it I’m not one of them
Andy how do you feel about underground Fencing because i think the wooden Fences are ugly but i don’t want to let My dog get too close to the road Well you know a fence there’s some nice Fences they do the white fencing they do The like the composite material you Could do a a wood fence and paint it you Know you can make them look nice but i Hear you look here’s the thing about an Underground fence invisible fence They can definitely work to keep your Dog contained in the yard But anything can get into your yard so If there’s a stray dog It can run right into your yard that’s What i don’t like about them And a lot of people tend to put the Invisible fence collars too loose They tend to not keep up on that and the Dog can end up getting through here and There so i’m not against them but I’m not against them um but they Definitely there’s there are a couple Drawbacks to not having the physical Barrier but if you don’t want the Physical barrier i mean invisible fence Is way better than nothing Yes one hell of a freddy krueger story Good good i’m glad you like it Hello andy love your work greetings from Belgium What’s up belgium let’s go Yes i’d buy a mug
Cheers to that i’ll work on those some He bites mugs let’s go Andy Stefan I have a newly adopted shepherd One year old and when she gets worked up By strangers in the yard or something She can lose control and bite me How can i help her feel secure Stefan that’s kind That’s kind of one where i’d have to Like See What the dog is actually doing because i Don’t I can’t really wrap my head around Exactly what you mean by that You know like she bites me could mean A million different things she mouths You she straight up attacks you like a Police dog or anything and everything in Between Um but stefan It’s it’s lifestyle stuff it’s lifestyle It’s putting the dog in situations where Failure isn’t an option so if you know Your dog’s going to do whatever in the Yard With with strangers You need to set that up you need to have A game plan you need to have contingency Plans to continue You need to have contingency plans To contingency plans you need to have
Everything thought out well in advance You have to have a very hungry toy Motivated dog you have to call some Friends over and you have to break that Down step by step All about mastering the basics there i Could guarantee you that that dog Does not have the basics mastered so You’re putting her in a situation Where she’s likely to fail so go back to Absolute one-year-old dog very young Adopted newly adopted dog so you don’t Even know the dog don’t put that dog in That situation anymore watch my five Minute challenge with the pit bull from Two weeks ago master that exercise with No distraction and slowly but surely Bring in one tiny distraction at a time But it’s all about engagement there and Just Basics with the dog Andy i like what you’re saying here Thank you i like what i’m saying too Five-month-old mal with severe Civil already extremely aggressive Already More than your average five-month-old Mal where do i start Where do you start See tommy questions like that it’s Tricky It’s tricky to give out advice without Really knowing because what if i told You to do something and it somehow made
It worse you know Without actually knowing the dog Five-month-old Um I don’t know man Um where do you start i mean Mastering the absolute basics In and out of the crate sessions every Day Perfectly Establishing your standard with the dog Not putting the dog in situations where The dog is going to fail right now Not doing any kind of You know bite work or anything like that Would probably be good for a little While but Basic basic food hand feeding stuff Taking the dog out and about engaging The dog with food it’s the only way he Earns his meals Uh don’t put that dog in a situation Where he could likely fail I know that probably didn’t help that Much but that’s a tough question my man My 13 month old rottweiler gets tired Very fast and after 20 minutes of fast Walk he gets very tired and starts to Walk slowly how can i condition him to Fix that I’m going to take a stab in the dark on This one i bet you that rottweiler is Quite overweight And i know what you’re going to say
No he’s not I get it Let me give you this example someone Messaged me on instagram the other day And they’re like i have um and if you’re Watching love you thank you but they’re Like i have a three month old malinois And she’s not food motivated at all Won’t eat anything and then she sent a Picture of the dog and i said oh my god The dog’s massively overweight i’d put Her on an extreme diet a three-month-old Well that dog’s super overweight and she Went really i didn’t think he she was Overweight at all no one ever told me She was overweight and i go you know i Totally get that She’s super overweight so When i say that a dog is overweight i Totally get in respect that you might Have a different opinion or assessment But a 13 month old rottweiler that gets Like real tired after barely doing Anything probably super overweight and You know maybe not on a good quality Kibble at all That’s my best guess And please don’t take that the wrong way If i call your dog fat please don’t take That the wrong way My pet dogs get fat all the time i go oh My god i’ve been feeding you too much we Gotta scale that back Okay i’m scrolling
There we go Here’s ashley andy how much do you use Your dog training skills in your Parenting Example ignoring unwanted behavior Following through etc ashley i’m going To tell you what some people will get it Some people won’t i feel like I i started on third base parenting Because i’m way ahead Of the game I feel like it helps me more Than anyone who’s not a dog trainer Could possibly understand Interesting i actually i have a new Client And she’s uh She’s a teacher in a school very good Teacher But she should take it from a teacher She said to me she goes the only Difference between kids and dogs is dogs You can put away in a crate for a while And you know child protective services Don’t get called she says it’s the it’s The same and i agree look obviously it’s Not the same in a literal sense But Oh actually Oh One million percent How much do you use your training skills And your parenting One million percent
A million percent And i i don’t want to brag and i don’t Want to get into kids stuff but like i i Don’t have i don’t have problems with my Kid i don’t get frustrated with her i Don’t need a break from her i don’t I don’t have any of that Andy i’ve made a mistake since i got my Mail and i was letting him run no leash In the huge garden We all make mistakes man We are after lots of obedience training He comes when called but only when leash Is connected So look all you have to do there Is just recondition the dog in that Environment pro tip you’ll get your Money’s worth with this one right here Only feed the dog out of your hand When he’s off leash in the huge garden That’s it and if your dog doesn’t want To eat back there your dog’s not hungry Man he’s overfed Only don’t worry about any formal Obedience don’t worry about corrections The only way he eats the only time he Eats Is in that big garden off leash and you Just come back there with a bowl and you Just hand feed one at a time If he starts getting good you can maybe Ask for a little eye contact but that Environment the only way he ever eats Day to day is out of your hand in that
Garden you’re welcome That can be applied to so many things It’s crazy Crazy Okay lots of scrolling lots of scrolling Lots of questions Gosh dang i don’t know if i’ll be able To get to all these Hey andy i was wondering if you ever Have deer Yes i we do have deer or other critters On your gorgeous property and how your Dogs react Uh they chase them they want to chase Them uh but i got a good recall I got a good read one time this only Happened once but This was before the car chasing thing With freddy but he saw a deer and then Boom he took off and look the property’s Fenced but there’s also like a little Wooded area that’s fenced and like i Don’t want him running through the woods Dog can lose eyes and stuff break legs So he’s chasing after deer and i just Hit a huge whistle Yelled his name God bless this dog he frea he stopped on A dime and just charged back to me now Am i going to do that 10 times in a row No but i got it that once So yeah they try to chase them some of Them don’t care but they’re all pretty Good about recalling
Will your shirts be available in europe Any time the shirts ship to europe Yes they do shirts Are good to go to europe Hey andy what do you think about Robert cabral and his dog training Um i don’t really i don’t think and Nothing good or bad I haven’t Watched anything really I did when i was setting up my merch i Did go check out his merch to see how Try to get some i was trying to figure Out how merch worked so i jumped on his Page like this dude sells stuff how’s he Doing I know he’s popular on youtube i just Don’t know him i know trainers that Respect him but There’s no way i could say i like his Training or i don’t like his training Because like i haven’t watched any of His stuff and guys honestly i know i’m Like i’m So deep into dogs it’s ridiculous but i Don’t watch dogs if i’m watching another Trainer or someone else it must be like Oh I don’t watch Any dog stuff Anything i’ll take and i know i’ve i’ve You know crapped on some people before But yeah i’ll see a little clip here a Little clip there maybe on instagram
Maybe there but Yeah i don’t know I don’t know about him I mean look i’m sure he’s not like Tell you to do something and it’s just The worst thing ever i mean it’s not Like he’s like You know i won’t mention any names but I’m sure he’s not terrible but i mean i Don’t know if he’s my cup of tea but i Just don’t know i recently trained a dog And i saw the owner already had an E-collar on the dog I told her okay i want to see how your Normal walks go and she shocked her dog Every time she sniffed the ground That’s the problem That’s the problem oh your dog must love Walks It’s like telling your dog all right do Whatever you want well no don’t do that Okay just do whatever i don’t know don’t Do that oh don’t do that Yeah that’s the problem so You’re trying to tell me that when you Go on a walk with your dog if you don’t Have an e-collar you’re screwed I don’t think so i always try to think Like How do i how do i train this how do i Fix something If any collar doesn’t exist You know what i mean Don’t don’t don’t rely on tools like a
Crutch Really good trainers that hold seminars Not american trainer Really good trainers that hold seminars When you show up and you come out with Your dog on an e-collar a lot of the Times they’ll be like give me the remote No i don’t want to see what your dog can Do with the rem give me that remote yeah Okay now go work your dog a lot of good Trainers will do that A lot one of my favorite trainers Joachim devon he does that you show up With an e-collar he’s like hey give me That remote Yeah i know better than to bring an E-collar around him My german shepherd is three and has Arthritis she’s a rescue the reason why Is because she’s standing on her paw pad Freddie and jess she’s more okay some Arthritis stuff there i feel you man Sorry about that do you think i should Try introducing the e-collar for a dog Like a french bulldog Yeah e-collars aren’t breed specific so E-collars can be useful for Malinois shepherds rottweilers dobermans Boxers labs golden retrievers Smaller breeds they make smaller E-collars Little chihuahuas Miniature poodles little things so yeah It’s not it’s not breed specific
Uh e-collars can be good tools but you Know think about what i said in the very Beginning are you using it for your Frenchie as a finishing tool like your Frenchie has zero problems you love Everything about the obedience now you Just want to layer in the e-collar just To have that All comes down to that I have a seven month old german shepherd And we’ve done a lot of walk training so He walks good by my side but gets Distracted by other dogs or rabbits I sit him down in those moments but Sometimes use the e-collar Yeah look i mean For me seven months old There’s a lot of maturity that’s not There and it’s not going to be there and Puppies are puppies and they see stuff Moving and they want to chase it they See another dog that’s interesting to Them You being a handler another dog or a Rabbit it’s not interesting to you You’ve been alive how many years you’ve Seen dogs and rabbits how many times It’s not that interesting to you seven Month old i mean their eyes have been Open for Less than a year You know i mean they’ve been able to Walk for less than a year everything’s Fascinating to them
So If it’s me personally I wouldn’t put the seven month old in an Environment Where i’d have to use it but i get it’s Real life you know you live in a Neighborhood you want to take your dog For a walk look i’m not gonna tell you That’s wrong If if your dog is good and happy and You’re fine with it i mean hey it’s your Dog you can do what you want i’m not Going to tell you that that’s wrong but Look man what’s going to happen Hold on let me go back to that question So i can see I would like the dirt seven month old I’d have his kibble i’d have a food Pouch and those walks would be the only Way he earned his meal and i’d use food Instead because he’s so young And because what i don’t want to happen Is that fast forward another seven Months now you got a year and a half old Dog You’re screwed on a walk without his E-collar i don’t think so and People that get used to pressing the Button when the dog does something they Don’t want it to do When that button leaves they have no Idea how to react or what to do So look at not saying it’s a bad tool I’m not saying you’re doing a bad job
With it but I Personally i’d like to see a little more Building with food engagement and play Around those distractions before you Move to the e-collar Something to think about I only use low levels to regain his Focus You can do that and that can work But then how are you going to regain his Focus if you ever want to take them out Without the e-collar Then it’s an e-collar engaging your dog And not you So look that’s not wrong or bad i won’t I won’t crap all over you for doing that But Um I just don’t want people to be Just have no idea what to do if they Can’t hit the button or or pull a leash For that matter Try Getting a food pouch loading it up with Kibble and having those walks be the Only time of day that your dog ever eats And it’s always out of your hand do that For 30 days give me a month and then Tell me how the engagement changes You’re hilarious today i’m hilarious Every day Sometimes good sometimes bad What dog do you recommend me getting for
A dog that is willing to train and from The shelter trying to find a dog that at Least has high prey drive I don’t know man shelters are all so Different i i have no idea i’m not a Huge fan of shelters Sorry Kind of a purist Definitely bringing fluffy he’s ready For oh yeah june 26th Yeah yeah dm me that sounds good Patreon crew setting up that boarding Train let’s go E-collar and resource guarding that Doesn’t sound correct at all yeah i Don’t know what that pertains to but That could be a mess My 14-month old shepherd is about to do A three-week borton train no real issues Should i have them do The collar work or stick with the basics You know you got to trust the trainer on That if you’re investing in the trainer And you like what they do And you trust them I’d leave that up to to your specific Trainer because every trainer is so Different Like if i if i go to a restaurant They’re like hey how do you want that Dish prepared i’m like how the chef Likes to prepare it that’s how i want it Because the chef knows a heck of a lot More about food than i do
So i think you just gotta trust that Trainer Nowadays people need to watch what they Put out there so many miss the point and Think they’re helping their dog when in Fact they’re wrecking them Dog training is a tricky thing i’m Telling you I hate mcdonald’s and i work there Hey that was my first job ever i worked At mcdonald’s 15 years old man i’m right There with you What types of natural food should i feed My belgian malinois sweet potatoes Um I don’t know i mean raw is definitely Good meat Bone organ Definitely some other things you can put In there like vegetable-wise Supplement-wise I’m not really the raw guru though i Don’t know about i I don’t know maybe your dog has like Some weird allergy and i recommend this And then this happens so I don’t know good raw diet though Research a good raw diet Hey andy watched your healing training On patreon of course Patreon Thank you sir Question my 10 month Mally pulls like crazy when we walk
How do i fix If i don’t want healing when we walk Thanks from sweden So daniel my man Don’t think of it as fixing Think about it as building Andy how do i build a beautiful loose Leash walk right Fix we don’t have a problem I would do two Two different things okay When you’re working on heel with the dog You have no predetermined Place you’re gonna go all you need is a Driveway a sidewalk You have your treat pouch loaded with Food like you saw in the video Leash and collar of course And that 10 to 20 minute session is Completely dedicated to hand feeding the Dog in perfect heel position over and Over and over and over again And that food and that lore is what is Keeping that dog in perfect heal so you Need to log A hundred hours in that session right There over the course of three months Now when you’re not doing that You either throw on a harness or a Really thick collar You clip a longer leash to it i like Retractables sorry I’d clip a retractable to it and i would Just let the dog walk around as they
Please it won’t confuse their heel it’s Two separate sessions it’s a formal Healing session and then it’s just Walking them around letting them sniff And potty and do their thing That’s what i would do Hey brother great info love the channel Thank you i’m going to be getting a Caucasian shepherd Any tips For guard defense work for this breed I like the defensive handler videos you Have up So you know what it is it’s it’s all About genetics Okay so if you’re talking about any kind Of bite work potential It’s All about genetics So it’s going to totally depend On your dog’s genetics let me give you An example Think about bite work as like a sport Like you’re like a scout Trying to who’s seen that new adam Sandler movie on netflix he’s the Basketball scout great movie i gotta Finish it tonight but it’s a great movie But he’s it just reminded me of that but Say you’re a basketball scout And you’re sitting in the stands at a Game And you’re evaluating the you know Teenagers
High school college you’re evaluating Them that are playing You got your scout hat on So you look at one player and you go no Doesn’t have what it takes nope not cut Out for it you look at another player You go nope way too short nope doesn’t Do it you look at another player they Lose their cool they push the rap they Scream at it you go huh no he doesn’t Have what it takes being an nba no then You oh this guy he might have some Potent now Those other guys that you write off and Go oh no he can’t do it Doesn’t mean he’s not a great guy Doesn’t mean he’s not a good family man A good student Good spouse he could be a great but nope You’re not cut out for this so it’s very You know you could say it’s a little Cold but it’s just business Same thing with with bite work dogs You want a dog to do Uh bite work defense prey drive whatever It’s all about the dog’s genetics I have zero future in basketball I never had one too short Doesn’t mean i’m not a great guy doesn’t Mean i could do a lot of other things But that’s how dogs are so Get that dog and let’s see let’s see What we got first Okay lots of questions
All right all right Would you recommend an x-back harness For the walks instead of a flat collar Yeah Yeah i like the ex back harnesses puts No pressure on the neck At all really good Why does your dog need to be in the Front yard why not the back Garden I don’t know if i understand that Question what are you talking about Where are you located not in a weird way You weirdo don’t worry about it no i’m In ohio I finally finished watching all your Videos and i love the content Appreciate you man thank you so much Hey andy what up to the fellow patreon Crew patreon crew You’re on the inside you know what’s up Do you know any turf breeders no i don’t I don’t know any I don’t know any man sorry hey andy What’s up max yo Jordan Young grasshopper He’s in ohio i keep having fantasies of Me and andy training our malinois with Our beards and then he bites shirts [Laughter] That’s a good one That’s hilarious man I’m in michigan not far from ohio man
Michigan’s a beautiful place especially This time of year i’ll tell you what I love me some michigan Do you have she bites tees Funny you mentioned that Funny you mentioned that Those are coming in hot Yes you heard it right i wasn’t gonna Break the news yet but i am gonna have Some shebites shirts and i’m not just Gonna reuse jasper it’s gonna be one of Our females a super awesome picture so Those are coming I’ll be honest though my artist that Does them Definitely doesn’t turn them out super Quick so Hey it’s a process i don’t want to rush The artist but uh might be a month or Two But she bites shirts will be coming in Hot i promise you that Andy that’s why i don’t like getting my Dogs from the pound because you don’t Know what you’re getting into before you Get them home true It’s hot in the live today you know it My brother Hey andy five-month-old roddy who’s Showing food aggression what’s your Thoughts on the e-collar I’m just teasing you i won’t be a jerk E-collar absolutely positively Should never be involved in that in any
Way shape or form and i feel really Strongly about that i get why you would Ask though I get why you ask and i don’t fault you For doing that So it’s all good don’t take it the wrong Way but That That makes me Wanna cringe thinking about an e-collar Being implemented there it’s all Lifestyle it’s all Lifestyle it’s all the situation that Dog’s being put in Guys when i i’ll tell you this when i Feed my dog He’s in his crate I scoop his food i walk over to his Crate i put it in i close the door and i Leave And he eats all of it and i don’t bug Him and he’s not in the middle of the Kitchen and heat up dude my dog would Resource guard his food freddy jasper Even my pet dogs they would resource Guard their food For sure If i facilitated it If i brought freddie in my house and i Don’t i brought him in my house and i Put his food bowl smack dab in the Middle of the kitchen and he went down And started scarfing it up and my other Little pet dogs were running around
He would One thousand percent guard it One thousand percent it’ll never happen And he’ll never have that Because i don’t facilitate it so Something to think about leave the dog Alone oh my god i saw this episode Of i won’t name i won’t name the show But it it rhymes with Dog whisperer And there’s it’s when he got bit in the Hand like super bad That dog was bad ass but the dog’s Really resource guarding the food and Really aggressive Starts putting a mannequin hand in there Dude do you want to make it worse Put the dog in a crate and leave him the Hell alone while he eats The dog from the episode not your Rottweiler But your rottweiler too but oh my god Lima the dog couldn’t be screaming more To have you leave him alone You know like the dog if a dog’s Resource guarding their food you know What the dog is saying the dog’s saying Leave me the hell alone and get out of Here that’s what the dog sans are like All right man You imagine you sit down for a nice meal You’re super hungry someone starts Putting a mannequin hand in your face What is that come on

I’m not trying to push my patreon here But my patreon for sure and then if you Had like three or four other trainers That you’re on their patreon or their Subscription service So you’re kind of being inundated every Week with multiple things that’s a good Start right there the internet’s a Beautiful thing And a terrible thing too so It’s tricky For sure my patreon though 75 a month Yearly subscription please okay Do you think if tools get banned food Deprivation will become much more widely Used by trainers And done to a dangerous extreme level Yep Yep Definitely I definitely think that Leave the e-collars for competition dogs Ninety-nine percent of pet obedience Doesn’t need any collar hire a qualified Trainer incompetence is going to get Them banned Can anyone put it better Can anyone put it better My man Sorry i assume you’re a man i don’t know Why Like whenever i’m walking my dog off Leash people say oh my god your dog is
So well trained but i hate when people Say oh it’s because she shocks him i Have the e-collar on for emergencies People Yeah uh People are gonna people you know People are gonna people throw a little Bandana over it Get them to zip it What are e-collars good for That’s a great question Well They’re certainly good for correcting a Dog but again That’s extremely complicated but they’re Good they’re good for communication They’re good for correction Question i got an answer Yo andy i allow my pups To bark from our yard at strangers that Pass by our property The issue is my girl will lunge Excuse me at the boys if they get near Her once in a while what should i do who Are the boys Oh the other dogs How many pups you got man I allow my pups to bark at the yard at Strangers My girl will lunge Dude i don’t know what you should do About that i don’t know Honestly like I am not a big fan of
Dogs together all the time I have a handful of dogs myself they’ve Never all been together I’m that’s not effect i like because the Dog it’s about me it’s about me and the Dog so i like Establishing my bond with the dog all The others just makes things kind of a Mess Three-year-old duchy i use the educator 900 it’s almost impossible to recal Recall her off a rabbit i have to use The collar at higher levels to get her Attention so i started conditioning her At higher levels I’m just not sure that’s the best idea Don’t always use it at high levels Normal range ten fifteen to a hundred Three-year-old dutch shepherd that’s Impossible to recall off a rabbit Okay john Look so i’m not mad at you john I have a challenge for you john It involves A lesion flat collar and two toys Here’s what you’re gonna do john Let’s say your dutchy your Three-year-old duchy is crazy about uh a Chuck e ball Let’s say they’re crazy about it tuck Take the tug Take the ball Chuck it When your dog’s halfway to it
Recall your dog If your dog stops on a dime Flies back to you Bang reward with the other toy If your dog doesn’t recall your dog’s Not ready for an e-collar If your dog recalls perfectly off moving Toys first time every time Maybe it is ready for an e-collar Take a ball Chuck it on the ground too like a ground Ball Have the dog chase it chase it recall Leash and flat collar dog knows the Equipment’s not on if the dog won’t Recall the dog doesn’t know how to Recall Dog doesn’t know how to recall but You’re correcting for it so take that Challenge If your dog won’t call off the toy Not ready for the e-collar Jordan in your opinion what’s the best Way to help a dog lose weight Fast and feed on and off or small Amounts daily Trying to lose like 20 pounds The best way for a dog to lose weight is Portion control look of course exercise Exercise Moderately is important no matter the Weight of any dog so that’s kind of Irrelevant because unless it’s a special Needs medical some kind of issue
Moderate exercise has to happen for Skinny dogs overweight dogs normal dogs Whatever So it’s not really an exercise thing you Know of course exercise i can’t just sit On a couch all day uh it’s portion Control man just like people Some people’s metabolism is nuts It’s nuts they live off mcdonald’s and They have a shredded six-pack Some people’s metabolism Totally sucks And dogs are the same way so and Especially as they get older so it’s all About Portion control and I want to know who said that a dog has To eat kibble twice a day every day Every month every year their entire life You know who said that people trying to Sell dog food that’s who said it look i Fee of course i feed my dogs every day But It’s fair to say that once a month i Might I might take the day off from feeding Them This stomach is constantly processing Kibble 24 7. so Portion control is it I’m canceling my classes until my Enthusiasm reaches mr kruger’s level of Enthusiasm i’m now recommending my Students to his patreon
