What’s up everyone What’s up what’s up we live baby We live everyone cross your fingers that The internet doesn’t act up this week Because if it does I’m out I’m gonna have to jump off this Bad boy and figure something else out But Everyone cross your fingers This week’s topic y’all It’s a spicy one this is a spicy one I Gotta be careful today Is your dog overfed Is your dog overweight My opinion unfortunately the answer is Usually yes it’s usually yes the dogs Over fed Listen guys I am not trying to offend Anyone I’m really not trying to offend Anyone I’m not saying your dog’s fat I’m Not fat shaming the dog I’m not saying That you’re a bad owner if your dog is Over fed but one of the most popular Questions I get on my videos I post Where I’m using food to train is what do You do if the dog isn’t food motivated Foreign Not food motivated I’m gonna tell you my opinion and it’s Fine for you to have yours if a dog is Not food motivated They are overfed overweight or they have A medical issue That’s what’s happening if a dog is not
Food motivated Period now I’m not talking about oh I Picked this dog up from the shelter it’s Scared of everything in life in general The first day I took it to the park it Wouldn’t take food that’s not what I’m Talking I’m talking about a dog that you Repeatedly Offer kibble out of your hand at home Outside wherever in the car and they Won’t take it the dog’s overfed and the Dog’s overweight the dog doesn’t need to Be morbidly obese and shocking looking To be overweight You guys would be really surprised Because most people that I talk to they Go nope my dog’s not overweight at all No way Jose and I go okay I look at the dog I go oh no they’re Overweight No yeah they are yeah they’re overweight For sure Definitely and guys I’m not I’m not Holier than thou there’s been tons of Times over the years that I’ve taken a Good look down at my dogs and I go I’m gonna have to cut back on on your Food a little bit buddy you getting a Little thick I’m not Standing here like I’m above everyone But the dog’s overfed the dog’s Overweight I get these comments Constantly what if the dog’s not food
Motivated what if the dog’s not food Motivated and my answer is always They’re over fed slash overweight or They have a medical issue and right away That offends people right away they get Offended And they get defensive and they go no it Doesn’t No he’s not Okay so why even ask my opinion you Already know Listening to the bag of food Is the biggest mistake you could make Listening to your vet About diet and weight Is the worst mistake you could make Sorry everyone out there That’s true now I’m not naming any Specifics but That’s not their Lane Since when did everyone just blindly Trust Companies that make dog food Like they have the the health of your Dog in mind or they want to sell food Well it says on the bag if they’re 80 Pounds they should eat five cups a day Well first of all they’re trying to sell You food yeah First of all they’re trying to sell you Food so like the more you feed the Sooner you’ll have to buy another bag so Like the more you can feed your dog like The better for them
But what if the dog’s supposed to be 65 Pounds in my opinion and the dog is 80 Pounds well it says if they’re 80 pounds Feed them five cups a day but they’re 15 Pounds overweight How is this that am I the only one here Oh the bag says if they’re this this age They should eat this much if they’re This way that Look guys I get it The reason that people get offended when I say their dogs are over fat or Overweight is because they take that Personally like you are not doing a good Job with your dog you’re a bad dog owner You’re not taking care of your dog good And that offends people because they Wake up every day all day all night the Dogs on their mind they take care oh no Come everything’s with the dog their Whole life’s dedicated to taking care of This dog and I go oh no you’re not doing A good job taking care of it that Presses some buttons but straight up if You have a normal healthy happy dog and You take them outside and you offer them A handful of kibble and they don’t want It they are over fed Puppies a little different you get an Eight week old 12 week old puppy and They’re not that into food puppy I Wouldn’t necessarily puppy could be over Fed but for a puppy look their eyes have Been open for like a month okay I mean
It’s a big world out there there’s a lot For them to take in so I’m not a little Puppy whatever but a normal dog don’t Want to take food don’t want to work for Food dog’s overfed The thousands of board and trains I’ve Done over the last 10 years A huge majority come in overweight I’m not saying morbidly obese I’m not Saying shockingly huge to the untrained Eye five pounds could make all the Difference in the world but please guys If you ask hey my dog’s not food Motivated any tips diet Put them on a diet I don’t care what the Vet says I don’t care what the bag of Food says I don’t care I test Food test I looked down at my dog I go a little Thicker than I want I go to offer them Food They don’t really want it you’re losing A couple You’re losing a couple it’s very Matter-of-fact it’s very black and white Please don’t take it personally you’re Calling my dog fat That’s unprofessional that’s an insult No I’m not doing that but Take the dog out of the equation because The dog oh fur baby my family take the Dog out of the equation say you own a Horse and say you call a horse expert
Because you’re having some issues with The horse and the horse expert comes Over and goes You know this that and the other would Be a lot better if your horse lost 10 Pounds the horse is a little bit Overweight that’s why they’re having These issues are you gonna oh I can’t Believe you called horsey fat They’re just trying to tell you how to Optimize the animal so I’m not trying to To make fun of you I’m not trying to Make you feel bad the health of the Average American dog is what’s important To me and they’re all over fed and They’re all fed too frequently and They’re all Fred fed chemicals and Preservatives terrible Kibbles they’re All over fed their organs are always Working overtime to process all this Stuff that gets shoveled into them all Day every day can’t have it you can’t Have it The issue lies you need an extremely Well-trained eye to look at the dog and Tell you what weight they should be Everyone has a different opinion some People could go to McDonald’s and be Like I love the cheeseburger it’s the Best burger I’ve ever had That’s genuinely their opinion that’s How their palate feels so they could Look at a dog and go nope his weight’s Perfect and I could look at the dog and
I could go whoa 10 pounds over for sure I could eat that McDonald’s and throw up And go that’s the nastiest thing that I’ve ever eaten So It’s Tricky guys It’s Tricky I can’t Give you ballpark well if your dog’s This it should be this if it’s that it Should be that I know 30 pound Malinois That Maybe not there I know I’ve seen 40 Pound Malinois that are overweight I’ve Seen 90 pound Malinois that are a Perfect weight and shredded they’re such A huge variety and so many options I Can’t just generalize and tell you it Comes down to what I see when I look at The dog It comes down to the dog’s activity Level I don’t measure my dog’s food I don’t go Well he gets two cups in the morning and Two cups in the evening I never actually Measure it out I look at my dog and I Feel out the amount that feels right and I give it to the dog how did people know How much to feed animals before there Were bags of food mass produced by Corporations that told you how did you’d Look at it and you’d be like well they Look good up they walked up and down the Pasture and are now completely exhausted Maybe they’re a little over you have to Know the dog you have to have a feel for
The dog and you just have to know what To look for Should you see ribs on a dog yeah Yeah you should You should you should see red With all this being said guys no one Dislikes a skinny dog more than me like I’ve definitely seen dogs that trainers Own that I go you gotta feed them a Little more my man you gotta feed them Too skinny dude oh dude too skinny you Gotta you gotta feed him so I’m not Mr I Love really skinny dogs I like healthy dogs I like dogs at their Optimum weight so don’t get it twisted I’m not you’re fat you’re fat you’re fat No there’s sometimes I’m like this dog’s Way too skinny but in the 13 years I’ve Been a dog trainer I’ve never had a Client dog show up and then me go whoa You gotta feed them more It’s always the other way around I Promise you it is Again it goes back to people They want to take care of their dogs They want to show their dog love they Want to take really good care of it they Want to be a good dog owner how do we do That well we need to meet their basic Needs we need to feed them give them Water give them shelter So I’m feeding the dog I’m giving love I’m doing a good job with my dog Nourishment here buddy here’s your food
The dog eats you feel good about it I Get it but it’s too much too often what Do you do a dog that’s not food Motivated you put them on a diet or you Rush them to the vet because they have a Severe medical issue let me ask you this If you have a dog that just grazes isn’t Very hungry not food motivated how will You ever know something’s wrong with the Dog a dog not eating is a sure sign Something is wrong if I put down food And one of my dogs doesn’t destroy it Right away I’m gonna rush them to the Vet because they’re about to die there’s Something horrifically wrong with my dog If they don’t Chow Down their food so Dogs that aren’t food motivated how Would you ever know something’s wrong With them you wouldn’t until until it Was probably too late It’d be too late All of this is for dogs that you want to Train So say you have if you just if you’re Not interested in training you’re Probably not watching this but if you Just have a big old pet dog they’re like Eight years old and you just free feed Them and they graze and they eat a Little here they eat a little there but You have zero interest in training Teaching them bettering them interact You have zero interest feed them however You want make them that big have a huge
Bowl out every day all day I don’t care It’s your dog you do whatever you want With it but when you’re asking training Questions like hey uh how do I train my Dog they’re not food I’m gonna tell you You can do whatever you want but my Opinion is the dog’s overweight I can’t Stress enough Andy my dog is not Overweight no way zero chance Can I see Yeah he is Yeah he’s overweight for sure yeah yeah Yeah yeah here’s my favorite thing Oh yeah uh my shepherd’s 100 pounds whoa Your Shepherds big time overweight no They’re not that said he looks good I Feed what the bag says his dad was a Hundred and fifty pounds His dad was morbidly obese oh yeah no Our dog’s just really big no they’re not They’re overweight they’re overfed yeah But his dad was 200 pounds his dad was Obese his dad was over fed His dad Hey my dad was 500 pounds Well your Dad’s overweight Am I the only one here that drives me Nut well his dad was 150 pound So then I change everything I say he Looks perfect then come on Come on You Know Who You Are No this is I’m not calling anyone I I Get this all the time though the dog’s
Overweight and overfed and you could sit There and go no way no they’re not no They’re not no they’re not no they’re Not but it’s my opinion That’s just my opinion so if you don’t Want to listen to the expert at all If you don’t want to listen to me at all Who has All the experience With canine conditioning and the most Fit athletic dogs in the world don’t Okay you can have your opinion but it Doesn’t change mine That’s great that you love McDonald’s I Don’t like it And you telling me how good it is isn’t Gonna change my mind so Now that I’ve offended everyone I’m just Kidding I think you guys like it There we go rock over let’s get into Some questions guys here we go what’s Good what’s up what’s up Patreon crew smash that like button yeah Don’t just hit It smash it How much should I feed my how much Should my Belgian Malinois weigh again It’s impossible to say there’s some Malinois that are 30 pounds there’s some That are 90 pounds and everything in Between so there’s no way I could Generalize that that’s like being like Hey how much should my son weigh I don’t Know I gotta be there I gotta see the dog I
Do the eye test guys I can’t remember The last time I weighed a dog I don’t Wait what’s his weight I don’t know Foreign Glad to be on board what’s up Matthew ’s training man Matthew He he’s a great follow on Instagram he’s Having his dogs go up ladders and walk On tight ropes Matthew’s my boy patreon rocks thanks Andy thank you my mother-in-law tells me My 67 pound German Shepherd is skinny I Have to stop feeding raw yeah that’s the Typical civilian thing oh so skinny You know what I mean I mean it’s like It’s like growing up my grandma no Matter what I was always so skinny she’s Like we need to fatten you up here have Some pasta and a milkshake she’s like we Need to fatten you up we need to fatten You up I’m like Grandma I’m in great Shape what are you talking about she’s Like no no you’re too skinny Patreon gang patreon what’s up In your recall video from Monday several Questions in the comments section were About using a higher value food when the Dog returns to the Handler but you were Clear kibble only is important Why specifically and what situation Would you use a higher value food such As baked chicken thanks Andy so the Recall video I did on Monday watch that If you haven’t with a little golden
Retriever first step to training a Recall I want the same on each end people were Like well can you feed the kibble down On one end then when you call give a Higher value no because the dog you Working for Kibble this ain’t no dessert Training higher value if you have a food Motivated dog food is food Foods food and they want to eat eat the Food there come eat the food from me eat The food there come eat the food from me Even same stuff kibble’s kibble you work For the kibble now what situations would I ever use a higher value food reward Um Not in that recall exercise Not there Um when would I use a high value food Reward It’s usually if I’m on I’m on a time Constraints usually with a client dog With a board and train they have zero Food drive I need them to get food drive I don’t have months To do it the right way so I could bring In a higher value there if I’m working With a new like eight week old puppy I Can bring in a piece of chicken there Just so their little mouth doesn’t have To chew all the kibble and so it’s Easier for them to nibble it out of my Hand I guess is a good answer Cheese sticks works good my pup is
Certain food motivated see for me that’s An absolute I absolutely can’t have that for me Personally if the dog only likes certain Things the dog’s overfed period Period dog’s overfed yeah they are People all the time go well he won’t eat The kibble so I have to put the wet food On top for him to eat it why are we Force-feeding this is abuse to me you’re Literally shoving food down the dog’s Throat when the dog doesn’t want it you Know what I do if I put down a bowl of Kibble and the dog doesn’t eat it I pull Up the bowl of kibble and I try again Tomorrow and repeat repeat repeat repeat Certain food I don’t have that here Fat dog is bad dog there you go Rico you Said it not me What’s the maximum normal weight for a Male Belgian I can’t generalize without seeing the Dog I’ve owned a Belgian Malinois that Was close to 90 pounds and completely Shredded No fat I’ve seen Malinois that are 35 pounds And could probably lose a couple so There’s no way to generalize it Freaking facts Andy what food do you Feed your dogs raw is always best Canada patreon what’s up Jeffrey thanks Andy not training off leash yet when to
Use the flat collar and slip don’t want To numb his neck you slip a lot then Went to Flat more often what is best When is best for each I don’t really get the question slip Lead flat collar I mean they’re kind of The same to me You don’t want to desensitize his neck To a bunch of pulling and pressure yeah I get it I don’t really get sorry Jeff I Don’t really get the question Hey Andy that makes total sense it does Doesn’t it 60 pound dog one cup in the morning one Cup at dinner time more than enough Word I look at it as asking the vet what is The perfect weight of my dog and if my Dog is over the weight then he’s over Fat It’d be fed guys A good vet can have a lot of great Knowledge Food and weight isn’t one of them Food and weight isn’t one of them I would You ask hey how much should the dog Weigh well he should No no no no no no no Bad that That then just give them the shots and Let me go please thank you My Adobe was so food motivated that he Even ate poop
Okay ate a bunch of stuff off the street Can’t focus what would you do What would be your take on that issue so This person said that their Doberman Just tries to eat everything poop stuff Off the ground blah blah yeah I’ve seen Puppies uh that do that it is very Annoying it can be very troubling Honestly you have to have a leash and Collar on the dog and just block them From doing that you’re gonna go oh no Andy I tried that I mean in that case maybe feed your dog More that’s what I would do So simple yet so many people struggle With this and see nothing wrong with Their dog Yeah it’s like there’s nothing wrong With the dog they’re just over fed and Overweight Don’t take it personally and if anyone Ever asks me hey Andy my dog’s not food Motivator what should I do and I go put Them on a diet they’re overfed or Overweight and you go no they’re not Okay okay Well you already know so you got this But it’s so open-minded look just Because it’s not your opinion it doesn’t Mean you have to shoot it down right Away hey your dog’s over wait no they’re Not Just think about it just sleep on it Just think well this is this expert’s
Opinion and I’m a complete novice with No formal experience so owning Shepherds For 20 years that’s not experience that I’m talking about so you could go well No the expert’s completely wrong I’m Right but how far is that gonna get you It’s gotten you to the point now where Your dog won’t even eat food out of your Hand but you know what you’re talking About Your patreon’s worth every penny plus if You’re not willing to spend time and Money on your dog maybe you need a cat I could not have put it better myself And I’m not just trying to sell my own Stuff there’s plenty of trainers that Sell content that’s phenomenal but if You’re not willing to spend money and Invest your time in learning about dog Training and being open-minded not just Oh no I’ve had dogs before and oh no They’re not overfed if you’re actually Open-minded your dog’s gonna Thrive the Recommendations on the food bags are Ridiculous way too much the Recommendations on food bags are Criminal they’re absolutely I shouldn’t Say crap someone’s gonna assume no the Recommendations on food bags are Completely egregious think about it this Way your dog let’s say that they should Actually be eating two cups of food a Day actually two cups a day the Food Bag Is going to tell you for why because
Then you go through the bag twice as Fast Then you buy a bag every month instead Of every two months Now the company’s numbers go up you know What I think that dog needs six cups a Day oh now I need to buy a bag every Three weeks You know they’re trying to sell you Stuff right Why do you think they have the the Health of your dog in their best Interest they want you to pack that Thing full of food and keep buying it And then they go oh your dog doesn’t Have that big of an appetite we also Have this wet food dogs really like that Just stuffing them Great advice so true my dog has to work For his breakfast nice here’s Ashley she Knows horses better than anyone I know Regarding horses very dangerous for them To be overweight especially for jumping All that weight coming down on those Joints yeah boom actually you nailed it Because the horse it’s not your fur baby It doesn’t sleep in bed with you and you Don’t kiss it all day so you can look at The animal more matter of fact you go oh The horse is overweight it’s going to be Dangerous to their their health and Well-being we got to get some weight off Of yeah the horse is overweight we gotta Get some weight off of oh you’ll do that
All day but someone goes hey your dog’s Uh overfed over what no you’re not Nope nope the rate’s perfect no they’re Not Okay never mind they’re perfect They just won’t take food but they’re Perfect my favorite thing is when you go I might be being a jerk today but my Favorite thing is when you go oh no They’re so distracted outside they won’t Even take food hey You guys know that like animals like They eat outside Like outside is the place where animals Hunt and acquire food They’re so distracted outside they won’t Eat But their genetics tell them that Outside is where food is and that’s the Time to eat They’re They’re Predators they Chase and catch things and eat them Outsides literally where animals eat so If your dog doesn’t want to eat outside What in the world is going on I bet you They’ve never missed a meal in their Life And I bet you that kibble is just Getting shoveled in there Do you ever feel bad for not doing Enough with your dog or pop maybe you Could talk a bit about over training Over entertaining a dog on a q a
Sometimes That’s a good topic yeah good suggestion Yeah I always feel like I’m not doing Enough with my dog because I’m a Professional dog trainer and there’s Always clients that need me there’s Always boarding trains there’s always The I put all my time into helping Everyone else and I’m like God I wish I Could do so much more with my dog so no I feel like that for sure every Professional dog trainer that has a good Business they always feel like they wish They had more time for their dogs but When you’re decent at what you do a lot Of people need your help and yeah Probably the biggest problem anyone Makes with a dog or a puppy is over Entertaining them over stimulating I’m Spending way too much time with them 11 Month old Dutch Shepherd was overfed Even training a lot that’s crazy yeah And keep in mind guys A dog’s diet quantity should constantly Change what we’ve always given them two Cups in the morning two cups of No it Should always change as the dog gets Older the metabolism slows down I’ve Seen dogs that are massively overweight Like morbidly obese and they get fed a Half cup a day I think what we walk them And we only give them a half cup that Doesn’t matter it’s too late the Metabolism is completely gone
Oh they only eat a half cup how could They be They’re not their body doesn’t burn it Anymore Hey Andy I just picked up my Malinois Puppy yesterday I’m just wondering how Much I should feed him per day I’m Currently transitioning from kibble to Raw you know it again I can’t tell you The quantity it’s it’s the eye test you Feed a quantity for a week you see does My puppy look big bloated does my puppy Look too skinny is he motivated when I Feed him out of my hand you have to be The judge of that I I can’t just Generalize it yesterday I saw a male Service dog love it and it was looking At my dog and I knew it was gonna lunge At my dog but I gave him a chance and he Lunged and barked and my dog looked up At me like what’s his problem I deal With that on a daily basis like leave Your pets at home Alexa Did we just become best friends Leave your pets at home I was in a baseball game the other day The Reds And there was someone in the stadium With like a tiny little like fluff dog With a service vest on on like the end Of a retractable leash Hey Hey do me a favor Let’s go ahead and leave it at home
Though yeah let’s leave it at home If you guys were wondering real service Dogs they don’t wander around at the end Of a retractable in a public Place Leave your pet at home though right Leave it at home Andy brother gotta say love your style Of training my question what does a diet Mean to you is it just plainly to cut Back on the kibble or raw intake or Increase activity and cut back food all The above you reduce the quantity of Food that the dog intakes daily and you Up their physical activity and there’s Absolutely nothing wrong with fasting a Dog for a day there’s absolutely nothing Wrong with that one day If they’re on kibble they’re they’re gut Health all their organs basically 24 7 Is processing kibble give the thing a Break every now and again you know food Company will never tell you that food Company will never Tell you to skip a day feeding your no No no no no no they gotta eat that’s so Mean no they gotta eat it’s like abuse And neglect oh I don’t feed my dog Enough your dog’s so skinny like that’s Abusive but the dogs that are this size Like oh yeah he loves food how’s that Not How is mixing in wet food so they’ll Actually eat the food I mean it’s you’re
Force feeding them What’s up from Colorado Andy love the Videos what up Derek Also why would I work for you when I Know the same food you’re gonna give me For free and a bowl at home Donovan you Nailed it why would the dog work for Food out of your hand in distracting Environments when just magically at home The big bowl is always there for them Every day Little too comfortable a little too Spoiled little too content if you have Zero interest in training do whatever You want but if you actually want to Bond with your dog and train That’s what’s up Malinois makes six Months old six-month-old female she was Overweight I cut down her food now ribs are there Still not much focus and training I have Food in my hand lure she takes a bit and Leaves my side any tips yeah you have to Be more exciting to that dog just Because a dog’s hungry and you have food Doesn’t mean you’re gonna have great Engagement you need to be exciting and You need to keep these sessions like two Minutes long and be full of action if You want to tip watch my free video on YouTube it’s called what is engagement Those are the kind of sessions you need To do Any thoughts on protein percent rules
For dogs uh I’d need to do a little more Research but sometimes like oh this has A lot of protein for puppies sometimes It’s way too much protein so you got to Be careful with that How to get my dog to overcome decoy Avoidance after the grip he wants to Pull back instead of punching in well You need to work with a great decoy You need to teach the dog back pressure And how to counter this is just grip Development you have to have the dog up Off the ground though because if they’re Biting on the arm and their back feet Are on the ground their front feet are Off the ground it’s going to make them Want to pull you want to pull them up on A table harness them up strap them up up There so they’re on the same level as The grip and they can drive straight Through with their body straight behind Them but if they’re biting like this They’re going to want to pull biting Like this you’ll be better off Love these videos thank you Mine will do just about anything for a Ball is that okay to use in training I Mean you can definitely train with toys Christine yeah I’m not against it Thank you Andy for taking my question How much should he weigh I don’t know man 50 60 pounds I don’t Know I need to see a picture man

You rob them of their independence so if You don’t build the confidence from day One and then Bond when maturity sets in You’ll have separation anxiety Thanks Andy best trainer online you said It I agree How are 82 in the chat and 42 likes What’s wrong people You like your free advice help a brother Out My man help a brother out What model e collar do you use and why I mean I like the mini educator from E-collar Technologies uh but for a real For a real sport dog a real working dog I find that the dog arcs are a little Bit better Andy it’s been over a year since she’s Lost that dog she’s resorted to making Up rice balls and shoving it down the Dog’s throat to make sure he’s got Something in his stomach that says Depression Yeah dog’s overfed Dogs over fed let me guess every single Day tries to feed him there’s a problem I finally caught alive what’s up Your sarcasm was making me laugh so hard Sarcasm is my second language I live in a one-room apartment the crate Is literally next to my bed is it very Important yeah yeah I can’t have that Look you’re gonna be limited by your
Environment with a dog Environments everything so Would I ever want a puppy in a crate Next to my bed never in a million years Would I ever do that if I lived in a Studio apartment where it was literally One room and the only space I had was Next to my bed well then I’d have no Choice but to put it there but it’s not Good but you have to because you’re Limited by the environment Um so is it important yes but does it Sound like you have a choice no so You’ll just have to keep it next to your Bed and deal with The problems that can come with that Jew transcend work no not really no Love the content Andy do you have any Videos with a run through showing the Exercises and tips on where newbies mess Up for CSA you or brevet if on patreon Which level Linda I should do that That’s a really good idea maybe next Time I film I’ll run through a CSA you and a beer That could be pretty cool thank you I Don’t have it but I’ll see what I can do Please all right I’ll I’ll see what I Can do I’m probably shooting this week Or next weekend We’ll see what we can do Is that it y’all Think that’s it Is a good one
What do you say about the crate giving The dog his or her independence you said This on an early q a on patreon it was Such a game changer Yeah guys my problem with the average Person that gets a puppy or owns a dog Is they are very selfish with it and let Me explain They’re very very very selfish with it Uh because they want to love on it and Have it out with them all the time and Do all this stuff that’s good for you But for the puppy it’s terrible because You develop separation anxiety An eight-week-old puppy that you bring Home their eyes have been opened for Weeks they’ve been able to walk for like A couple weeks They know nothing they are going to be Insecure they’re gonna attach themselves To anyone that’s there and if you Reinforce that if you coddle that if you Don’t teach them how to be their own Little animal You’re gonna Rob them of their Independence you’re going to rob them of Their puppyhood it’s going to make you Feel good because you’re like oh my God My dog loved me so much my dog’s Obsessed with me oh my God my dog needs Me so much and then I feel really good About that but how does the dog feel you Walk away and the dog can’t get to you And they have an absolute panic attack
You guys would be shocked they go oh no My dog my dog my dog someone drops the Dog off with me I keep it I train it the Owner comes back no you can’t pet the Dog right away no you can’t run up here And have a love fest with the dog So being a couple feet away the dog Can’t get to the owner the dog has a Panic attack Now sure I want to enhance my dog but if My dog can’t get to me at any day Anytime they have a panic attack Not good Not good My dog was overfed until an igp trainer Told me to do a 24-hour reset and only Train with her kibble to earn her meal Smart trainer Yes and then she feeds rice balls to This dog Yeah whoever is doing that is I mean That’s Force feeding like crazy that Makes me queasy Andy six month old German Shepherd rescued do you correct The dog in the crate when barking or Whining or ignore Six-month-old ignore yeah they need a Lot of couple months experience in that Crate shepherds are very noisy though Generally so definitely ignore six Months we got more work to do before we Think about punishing Andy you the man thank you what
Milestones should I be working towards For my three-month-old Belgian Malinois Currently does excellent with crate Luring feeding out of my hand please Don’t read me #rheem What are you doing with that dog just Kidding Three month old what Milestones Um I don’t know if I call him Milestone Like a three month old I’m looking to Have wide open I’m looking to have no Accidents ever In the crate like that’s good for me Every day that goes by and there’s no Accidents I’m like yes this is trending In the right direction Um environmental stuff so a couple times A week you throw it in the car you take It somewhere new don’t worry about Training just let him go out check it Out explore do his thing that’ll tell You a lot about the dog Um milestones and training just Engagement just the dog will take kibble Out of your hand any place anywhere Anytime the dog can also go to a place And be at the end of the leash and be Independent from you and not eat that’s What I’m looking for at this point #ream any tips on getting a straight Recall my dog tends to come in skewed Um shorten the distance one foot two
Foot three foot four feet five feet if They start coming in crooked you’ve Extended the distance too fast is Probably what happened so it needs to be Perfectly straight and Flawless every Time from three feet away before you go Along I’m so emotional about the crate issue At least you’re honest At least you’re honest what are you Emotional about What’s the issue with the crate I’d like to know It’s made a huge difference in her Training all right What crates do you use again or do you Remember the video where you explained This I’d love it back and re-watch I Can’t remember no yeah they’re called uh Like Sky mate kennels I get them on Amazon they’re Gray Pretty good Sky mate And you’re the goat I try I’m trying What else you all got is that it hey The Internet’s been good to us today Milestones for 15 months solid recall Basic commands fronts Foose we’re taking Our time to get everything solid are we Going too slow no you’re not going too Slow at all sometimes you go too fast The dogs burn out by three years old so You know you’re not going too slow take Your time too slow you know there’s no Competition I mean if you’re going into
A competition next week that you’re not Ready for Maybe not good but it’s I wouldn’t say you’re going all that Sounds really good All that sounds really good at that age What I’d be looking for now is less Rewards and more hey do it negative Reinforcements good for that I feel bad they’re in the kennel a lot I can understand that I’ve worked with a Ton of clients that feel the exact same Way Christine I mean You’re definitely not alone there but You have to get over that because if you Feel bad for a dog they know it they Feel it and you’re not the leader It sounds cold the leader is not worried About how the follower feels They’re not you have to look at training Matter of fact if you’re training Emotional big trouble Big trouble I know it’s easier said than Done but If you feel bad for the dog in the crate The dog’s never going to feel good about The crate you’re holding your dog back Because of the your own stuff going on Feel bad for the dog being in the crate Why they’re fine They are Fine they’re fine the dogs fine in the Crate Don’t worry about the dog they’re
They’re lucky They live with you in your home That dogs that dog hit the lottery that He gets the privilege Of staying in a crate in your home That’s like Very good for the dog so don’t feel bad For that thing I’m telling you if you Feel bad The dog doesn’t see you as a leader it’s Weak energy Look I have all the empathy in the world I’m not some psychopath well maybe I am But If you feel bad this is the energy you Give off this is your presence Oh I don’t know oh God So if that’s just straight energy I see That as weakness and the dog does too The dog feels a weak presence So that’s why you know you’re like you Know people Not necessarily you Christine but people Like they’re so obsessed with their dogs The only energy that they get from the Ownership oh look okay oh I feel bad Dude The dog doesn’t see that as a strong Leader The dog sees that as an equal the dog Sees that as someone below them it’s Weak energy In a family of dogs And many animals for that matter if
There’s a weak link they’ll kill them They feel weak energy they go no this is Bad for us and we can’t have that Don’t kill the dog but you get what I Mean you need to be strong you need to Be cool calm and collected even if There’s the situation is horrible chaos You need to be cool calm and collected Because that’s how a leader is going to Operate and function Training is the goal emotions are not Involved when it comes to training it’s Very matter-of-fact it’s very black and White what needs to be done and if you Feel bad for the dog they’ll never Follow you Foreign We got more questions now I’ll do a Couple more What do you mean by dogs burn out by Three like a high level sport dog if you Take them from zero to ring three in Like a couple of years they’re probably Not going to have a long career they Just get burned out it’s too much what Do I mean get burnt out well it’s like If you have a kid that’s interested in Football and everything’s football every Day all day football football football Football football football football Football football Look some kids are just obsessed they go To the NFL they Thrive but a lot of kids When you try to cram a sport or any
Activity down their throat like every Day they just get burnt out they’re like Practice again uh so that’s what I mean What’s better feeding a dog with grains Or grain free I feel great I don’t Really do the whole grain grain free Thing I’m not really on all that Six-month-old German Shepherd been over Corrected already needs confidence Building and encouragement how to build Self-esteem any suggestions on which Exercises I can do to build self-esteem Yeah the dog’s either in the crate or The dogs winning winning meaning the Dog’s earning rewards from you for Performing tasks it could be as easy as Looking at you need to stack up the wins For that dog don’t correct the dog and Don’t set the dog up for failure if you Have the dog loose out of the crate all The time horrible for the dog you need To have him the dog in the crate and When they’re out of the crate they’re Interacting and they’re winning Foreign Hey guys let’s help our buddy Andy out And share this video with someone who Has a dog thanks Kyle yes share it hook Your boy up it’s free Major reaming today loose leash dogs in Park told him bringing mine to stay away Said he collar Okay uh Mitchell Mitchell had to ream Someone

Way to fix this he’s seven no no Chris There’s not a way to fix that it is what It is all you can do is manage it There’s a million ways to manage it but No there’s no fixing that’s that could Just be catastrophic danger Look think about it this way Chris the Dog told you I don’t I don’t get along With kids I don’t like kids I mean he told you that so you’re going Well I’m gonna try to get you to get Along he the dog gave you the Information so if you start trying to Make him get used to kit and the dog Attacks them Dude he already told you he ain’t good With them so you gotta listen to the dog There Love your interpretation of a weak Energy dog owner can you do it again Love the content just said my morning Training session with my eight month old Nice So you recommended creating anytime not Training for puppies to increase Engagement how many hours in a crate in A table yeah I’m definitely if you’re Not interacting with the with the puppy What are they doing out Yeah a lot of great time but couple Hours at a time not like eight hours at A time like two hours half hour out two Hours half hour out two hours half hour Out
It’s really it’s not to increase Engagement it’s just to It’s to not set the puppy up for failure That’s really what I I can create great Engagement Regardless but I don’t like the Shenanigans I don’t want the dog like Well most of the time I do whatever I Want then this guy comes in with a treat I have to ask when you say leave the dog At home contradicts what I hear people Say all the time take your dog with you Everywhere to have them get socialized Yeah that’s because people don’t know What the heck they’re talking about look When you get a new puppy yeah definitely Take it out about to socialize it but People let’s bring the dog here all the Dogs come let’s bring the dog leave the Dog at home The dog social leave them Independence it’s a good thing Just started training a 10 year old After watching your videos I don’t have High expectations actually just training Myself but still fun nothing wrong with That hey from London my male girls in Her first season of heat shall we still Train as normal yeah Paula you can still Train as normal but just know that the Dog is gonna be going through some stuff Hormonally maybe not feel quite herself So you can definitely keep training Um but stay away from like punishment
Big Corrections stay away from that Stuff just have fun with the dog keep it Light and easy Crate couldn’t be a safer place I’m just Saying yep What food do you use for your puppy Malinois um I had them on a local brand Here but akana’s pretty good to my Knowledge Should a guard dog be socialized No Yep Andy your school of thought is very Refreshing too much Anthropomorphizing going on that’s when People treat their dogs like Humans Very bad what if I treated my partner Like a dog It’s like okay it’s bedtime go get in The crate Well I’d probably get punched in the Face and then I’d probably find myself Single So a human would never want to be Treated like a dog that’s wildly Insulting So but so then why should we treat a dog Like a person Makes sense I have a pug and most dogs in the Community are grossly overweight I Believe it My dog is lean and mean It is parts
Me people let their dogs get so fat Lack of knowledge lack of knowledge and They’ve been misled Comment One Order to socialize you need to control Environment if you take your dogs Everywhere and not pay attention that’s The opposite of socializing nice point Agreed I’m getting so much better about the Crate though thought process you’ll get It Christine you’ll get it it’s going to Take some time but Don’t worry about the dog forget the dog Christine forget about the dog are you Obsessed with the dog are you constantly Thinking about the dog all throughout The day when the dogs in the crate are You still constantly thinking about them You’re obsessed with the dog and Obsession is never good In that context you need to forget the Dog you think I’m thinking about Freddy Right now No he’s in the crate get out of here I Got stuff to do I ain’t thinking about Him therefore he ain’t thinking about me Therefore he’s independent he doesn’t Have separation anxiety he lights up Like a Christmas tree when he sees me he Loves me I’m the favorite person in the World doesn’t need me though He don’t need me he doesn’t need me to
Be Freddy Most dogs I train they need their owners To be them without their owners they Turn into a shell of themselves it’s Because they have separation anxiety and We’re robbed to their puppyhood Andy this is just a statement my dog Learned how to open the front doors Nice he’s like I got this that’s funny All right y’all I’m out I’m out I got dogs to train I got stuff To do Hope you guys like this sorry if it Offends you am I really sorry though Yeah I’m sorry Are there any good books you can Recommend I’m currently working on dog Language and encyclopedia Um I’ve read it’s me or the dog I read That in like that one uh but a lot of The books I’ve seen and looked into I Really didn’t like so I’m not big on the Book recommendation because guys here’s The thing with dog training you can know All the theory in the world you can know All that but Application is what’s important what Would you rather Would you rather Watch a master guitar player On a video or in person or would you Rather read a book about how a guitarist Played I mean look you can get Information from the book for sure but
