Today’s video was made possible by Peta Picks click the link below to get your Pet talking button set today hi I’m Nate Shomer certified professional and master Dog trainer I’ve been training dogs for Over a decade now I was an instructor at A school for professional dog trainers I’ve trained across the country in many Different States including Colorado Missouri Illinois Texas as well as California working with all kinds of Dogs from protection training to Competition obedience service dog Training as well as search and rescue I Even had my own show on Animal Planet Called rescue dog to Superdog and in Today’s video we are going to be Teaching our dogs how to communicate With us by using a button that will make A noise specific to what our dog wants From us whether it’s getting a treat Playing with a toy going on a walk going Outside to go potty or many other Different fun options that you can teach Your dog this is a cool trick that you Can teach in order to impress your Friends and strengthen them on that you Have with your dog now when I teach a Dog how to press a button or ring a bell There are three different type of Techniques that I like to use in order To teach this and they’re all very Simple so you can pick which one works Best for your dog the first one is
Simply taking a sticky pad we take the Sticky pad we place a piece of food in The center of the sticky pad and then we Show it to our dog our dog is going to Come up to it and take the food off the Sticky pad we do this multiple times up Until the point where we show our dog The sticky pad and they know to go to it Because they think there’s going to be a Treat once we get to that level then What we do is we show the sticky pad to Our dog without the treat on it the Moment their muzzle touches the sticky Pad we will use our marker yes and then We will give the dog a piece of food From our other hand we have to make sure We Mark the behavior once our dog’s nose Touches the pad so just like this yes Then our dog will come out the pad to Get the treat and even though they’re Getting the treat off of the pad they Know is the act of touching the pad is What triggers the sound of the marker Which predicts the reward the second Technique is taking the button and Putting a piece of food underneath the Button are dogs gonna try to get at it By either nuzzling the button or pawing At it the moment they paw at it or Nuzzle it we Mark and reward and then The last option is teaching our dog how To shake this is very simple as well we Have our dog in front of us we put food In our hand and then we close the food
Our dog’s going to try to get the food Out of our hand at first they might try To muzzle it a little bit they might try To lick it our hand but almost every dog Will eventually paw at your hand the Moment the dog paws at your hand you’re Going to Mark open your hand and give Them the food and you’re going to Continue to do this up until the point Where you present your hand and they Will paw at it in order to get access to The tree then what we do is we place is The button in our hand and we get our Dog to paw at the button slowly bringing It to the ground until it’s in the final Position once we teach our dog how to Press the button then we’re going to Teach them what it predicts so first I Like to start with the easiest one which Is a tree the dog presses the button we Give them a treat so then they know Every time they press this specific Button it’s going to predict a treat Then once we have that down we can start Introducing the other buttons whether It’s to go outside go on a walk play Fetch Etc you can be very creative with This process so today we’re going to be Using the pedapix brand and you open it Up it comes with four buttons as well as Stickers so you can easily identify Which button is going to make which Noise for your dog these pieces come out And then you’re able to place the button
Inside Each corner so then when you have This sitting down your dog’s able to go Up to it and press each button so what We’re going to do is we’re going to Record what we want each button to say Now it’s recommended that you can have The button say something your dog may Already know if it’s something that you Use on a regular basis for example if You tell your dog do you want a treat if You say that normally you can make that One of the buttons I ask my dogs if They’re hungry so that could be Something I place on my buns are you Hungry or do you want to go for a walk Or let’s go for a ride or do you want a Puppuccino whatever it is you can place That audio on the button if you want to Get your dog the Peta picks pet talking Button set I’m going to make sure I Place a link in the description below so The way that we’re going to do that it’s Very simple on the back of the button You’re going to hit the on switch then You’ll see this little button on the Right hand side you press and hold that Down you will hear hear a beep and then You’re going to record your audio so We’ll do it right now Are you hungry There we go now we can record all four So we’ll have are you hungry we will do You want to go outside Go for a walk
Go for a walk do you want to play Now we can take the stickers For each one so let’s see so are you Hungry what’s the best one for that Let’s do The bone and the food So which one looks best for going Outside Do you want to play do you want to play This one could be play it could be fetch But we’re going to use that for play And the last one This one for going on a walk Go for a walk all right excellent now That we have it set up we’re going to Get my Malinois and we’re going to Introduce her to the first button and Again I’m going to show you all three Steps when teaching this it’s best if You keep it in the same spot every time Your dog goes to activate one of the Buttons you can also use 3M double-sided Tape for floors that the mats tend to Slip if we’re consistent with our Placement it makes it much easier for Our dog to learn not only where the Buttons are of course but which one Predicts what reward treat or activity Such as going on a walk you also want to Make sure you’re very patient with this Even though it appears that Ari learns This very quickly she is a more advanced Dog and other dogs that I’ve worked with It could take much longer to teach this
From many days to weeks possibly even a Month or two right now I’m going to Demonstrate the first technique by using The sticky pad I’m going to place the Food on the front of the sticky pad and I’m just going to present it to my dog She’s gonna eat the treat you can mark It if you want but you don’t have to Because she’s getting the primary the Exact moment she does the behavior Very good once they know to go to it you Can start moving it around a little bit And make them put in a little additional Effort Good girl excellent nice job Very good once you have that down Depending on your dog is going to depend On how long it takes some might do it Very quickly like Ari does the more food Motivated your dog is the easier this is To teach now what we’re going to do is The same thing but instead of placing The food on it I’m going to present once She touches it I will Mark and then I Will give her a treat you can use either Your continuation marker or terminal Marker Free Free very good Free excellent nice job Ari Free Notice I’m saying free the moment she Touches it free so she knows it’s the Act of touching the pad free
Is what predicts the reward Free now we’re gonna start getting it Down more at the ground level three Foreign Free very good once you have that down Now we can move to the next step so the Next step is we’re going to take the Button sorry I got a little bit of A Drool on it We’re going to take the sticky pad We’re going to place a sticky note right On the button Now we’re going to do the same thing We’re going to present it to our dog Once they press it Mark and reward break What Are you hungry you could hear it go off There Very good Ari Excellent nice job So now she’s already pressing it and I Don’t even need the the sticky pad Anymore so excellent work once you have Them pressing the button now all you Have to do is make sure every time your Dog presses the button it predicts Whatever the button says it predicts so If it says In this case are you hungry that means I’m going to give her a treat if you say Treat or whatever it is you have to make Sure you pay your dog the only reason Why they’re going to press the button is Because the button predicts something
That they want if your dog starts to Press the button and you stop giving Them the treat then it loses its value So anytime your dog presses the button Make sure you reward your dog now if Your dog’s getting too many treats just Push put the button in a place where They can’t reach it and bring it out When you want them to communicate Something to you again this is a fun Trick great for impressing your friends At a barbecue alright so now we’re going To go over The second technique that you can try as You can see she already knows to press The button but we’re going to teach her How to shake and that’s going to be the Step we’re going to use to teach her how To press the button using the second Technique you pick whatever technique Works best for you so a lot of you your Dog probably already knows how to shake Or give paw and if your dog does this One’s going to be very easy for you to Teach for those of you that don’t have That you can easily teach It Again by Doing this technique so I have a piece Of food in my hand Yes and that’s what causes it to open up Yes very nice Yes Now what we’re going to do is we’re Going to present our hand without the Food and we’re going to give our dog the
Treat from the other hand yes Yes Now we’re going to do the same thing but We’re going to open our hand yes Very good Yes Yes And I like that where she’s applying Pressure that’s excellent yes very good Yes And you don’t have to rush to get the Yes you don’t have to rush to get the Treat out once you mark your dog should Know that the treat’s on its way Yes very good and this should be fun now That our dog is giving us their paw when We present it all we do now is we place The button in our hand so now we do the Same thing Yes It’s super easy to teach I’ll reward that because she touched it With her snout Yes good girl Yes So that’s the second technique the last Technique which as you can clearly see She already knows how to press the Button but what you do is you place the Button on the ground and then you put a Piece of food underneath the button your Dog is naturally going to try to go After it any way that they can they’ll Try to muzzle it if they muzzle it and
It activates the button excellent Mark And reward that if they paw at it and it Activates the button Mark and reward That as well the key thing is that they Know to press the button whether it’s With their paw or it’s with their snout So here we go We take the food We put it underneath Yes and then when they press it we give Them the treat so again Good job right there get it if the Tree’s right there Now that we have her pressing the button The next step is going to be to actually Place it in the holder we’re not going To add the other buttons until our dog Becomes an expert with one button as Your dog becomes proficient then you can Start adding the second third fourth and You could buy multiple sets of these so If you want you can have 12 different Buttons that your dog can press so they Can let you know what they want just Like I said earlier when they press a Certain button that means a certain Thing is supposed to take place it is Your responsibility to make sure that You provide whatever the button says That you are supposed to provide now We’re going to place the button inside Of the pet opix holder we’re just going To do one for now well and I’m gonna pay My dog for that because she heard the
Sound it doesn’t matter if you activate It or your dog activates it which is Another very useful tip when you’re Teaching your dog what the sound means So what you can do in the very beginning Is you can simply press the button And then give your dog a treat And I’m just gonna wait for her to Figure it out at this point I want her To know that she can activate it without Me telling her Now if your dog’s confused you can just Tap Good girl I don’t want you biting it Though Yes Yes And if you’re having a hard time you can Go back a step and try to make her do it A little more calmly Yes So that was a little more calm I like That yes Yes All right now I’m going to give you guys An example Of how we can add the second button and What it predicts so I’m going to do the Play one she’s going to press it I’m Going to pull out a toy and I’m gonna Play with her so let me show you how We’re gonna do that so again I’m doing This with a Malinois so she’s a little Bit more active than some of the other
Dogs out there might be so I’m gonna add The second one I like to do it on the Opposite end it makes it a little bit Easier and we’re going to do the play One so the way that I’m going to Introduce this is I’m going to press the Button then I’m going to pull out a toy And I’m going to play with my dog I’m Going to do this multiple times probably For even a week or so that way she can Start to understand it’s that specific Noise coming from this device that is The predictor of play again this is very Easy to teach once you know the process So we’re going to do it right now where I’m not going to ask her to press it I’m Just going to press it Are you Good girl very good and she likes to Play tug are you out Center Yay nice job so now we’re gonna see if She can press the right button That predicts play now I’m jumping ahead A few steps this is for instructional Purposes only which she’s trying to get The toy down Good and I’m gonna set it down And have her press it break What Do you like good girl very good and now I’m gonna play with her and it’s going To take a while for her to understand This because something like play or Going on a walk or going outside you
Can’t get in as many repetitions as you Can with a treat that’s why I always Start with the treat one But once you’re going to do any of your Normal activities you press the button And then you do that activity you can Ask your dog to press the button and do The activity so going outside before you Take your dog outside you take your dog To the button you ask them to press it They press it you open the door you let Them outside you’re getting ready to Take your dog on a walk then you bring The button over you have your dog press It then you take them on a walk and you Continue to do this every day until your Dog offers up by pressing the button Depending on what it is that your dog Wants to do in that moment in time one Of the issues that people have been Running into is their dog wants to chew The mat if you’ve been running into that Problem an easy way to fix it is by Implementing leash pressure now leash Pressure is negative reinforcement we Turn pressure on when the dog complies We turn it off first you have to make Sure your dog understands and knows how To follow a leash we take the leash we Place it on our dog we start to pull in One Direction when they resist we use Food and we guide them in the direction We want them to go so what we’re doing Is we’re teaching the dog to follow the
Leash this is going to help show our dog That we don’t want them biting the mat So the moment your dog bites the mat I Like to use the word wrong you can use Any word that you choose just be Consistent I say wrong I apply pressure Once the dog stops biting I turn the Pressure off and I praise the dog and I’ll do this every single time the dog Tries to bite the mat showing them that It’s not something that we want them to Do and since it’s not a punishment it Doesn’t and create any sort of avoidance That you might have if you were to Correct your dog for trying to bite the Mat remember we want to always make dog Training fun and trick training and Things like this is a fun enjoyable Activity that your dog should look Forward to I hope you enjoyed today’s Episode if you want to get your dog the Peta picks pet talking button set I’m Going to make sure I place a link in the Description below and as always please Like Please Subscribe and we will see You guys in the next video thanks again
