Before you start training with food- clicker training dog
This is the first thing you want to train your new puppy or rescue dog before using food or toys to train with. Basically you are teaching the dog a default leave it from the treats and your treat bag when working with food.

Hi Emily, I just got my brand new Vizsla puppy today! He’s 7 weeks old but has very sharp teeth! I’ve tried this method but it really does hurt! What should I do?

Hi, I like the idea of never punishing your dog but I was just wondering what the difference is between saying ‘uh uh’ in a pleasant tone obviously rather than a cross one and making a kissy noise like you prefer? do you need some way of correcting a behaviour or should you just wait as long as it takes?

How do we subscribe to the free training segments as the narrator mentions at the end of this clip?
Thanks.

Our pup Noodle arrived yesterday! I’m new to clicker training and by following your videos have got him making eye contact (how gorgeous!), and not watching my hand for the food. He is still showing interest in the treat bag and he nicked my clicker earlier on and tried to make it click! How cute is that? My fella asked me what I’d have done if it had clicked, so I told him ‘I’d have to treat him of course’. He’s also working on sit, down, rollover, and ring a bell to go out.

minty737, can you try holding the treat higher up? I often do it just above the dog’s ear level, so it’s just not very comfortable for them to mug at my hand for very long.

I am absolutely in love with your videos! For the past few weeks I’ve been ‘fostering’ two rescue shepherds and the one of them is extremely difficult to train because he very interested in food. I watched this video once, tried it with him today, and he’s made amazing breakthrough! He no longer bites at my hands or jumps up to get the food, instead, he will actually wait for it. Thank you so much!

Hey Emily,
My 6 month old puppy is so excitable that she does hurt me when she mouths my hand trying to get the food. So waht do you do in that case?
I also wondered if this method can be used to teach her a default leave it on items shes not supposed to chew? For example when shes excited and wants to play she pulls on our socks gloves or – most annoyingly – jean legs. Ive tried redirecting her to other toys but she just ignores them, even her favourites.

@MonteyCarlo92081 great info on dog feeding at yourpurebredpuppy com. I have only found one good brand of kibble in europe, called ANF, and only some flavours of that one (lamb and chicken). The rest have ingredients that are questionable.
If you go for real meat, then either only barely cook it, or give it raw. Vegetables are good too!

@kdhauad You could try victoria stilwells method, of adding foods to his diet that make the poop taste horrible. I think she used banana, but you have to use that in moderation because it can make them sick if you use too much. Also try getting the leave ti command working really well with positive training on food, and then try doign it with poop. If you do it with his own poop hopefully he would learn to leave it alone when youre not there. Combined with a yukky taste that should do it.

Great job! You’re videos are awesome. I’m not only watching them, but I keep sending emails to others about them, and especially to people I know who are involved in rescue. I’m sure that they can use this to help find a good home for these animals. Thanks for your insight and hard work.

and again it sucks sometimes to make videos on youtube, because you know there is always some vital info left out, but at least I am getting it out bit by bit…

@burninforyou You can see how terrible it would be to punish a dog for trying to get your treats- you can really ruin their luring ability by doing that. This is also an impulse control exercise, and so can help with luring for dogs that are aroused by food. If they can learn to be calm around food first, then when they follow the lure they are not too over aroused to learn. With a shy dog you dont want to do this exercise, as you can teach them to keep away from you…

@burninforyou Good question!
You are right this can sometimes screw some dogs over if you are going to lure and then do this exercise in between. That is not advised. As you can confuse the dog, but it makes training less stressful if they have a default of stand calmly (or just hang out) until it’s obvious we are working together. Usually a dog only needs this exercise done once or twice as a pup, and then your ready to go.

My dog is afraid of our fan he is nervous around it and wants no where near it. If he has to go by it to go outside it takes two or three times to make a full run go by it. I want him to see that the fan is a good thing and not something that is going to eat him. He is scared of the vaccum too.

Another great video and what an adorable pup!
Hey Emily, can I ask you something? Why do you think a lot of people are against clicker training, and positive reinforcement? I’ve seen so many people say it is “a weak training method, and is used so you don’t hurt the poor puppy’s feelings” and a lot of people seem to think that positive trainers “ignore ALL bad behaviours” Isn’t more accurate to say that you redirect it?
