Im no longer able to do agility but love this podcast and everything you share with us! ♥️.
-
Susan what a super podcast. It has opened my eyes and will really help us to be even more intentional with our training. Thank you 🤩
-
soo great helped my mindset with my loving life puppy
-
Brilliant, as usual! I was watching when you did that calculation during the 360 program video and happy to hear how you elaborate on that fact! Picking up our very first puppy this Sunday and so excited to start Crate Games and IYC straight away (between all the loving, kisses and cuddles....and potty runs!). I also took advantage of the 4 month HSTD program you so generously offered :) Since discovering you, and Dogs That, I've watched, listened to, and read, every bit of information you have put out...twice! I'm committed!
-
Wow, I so wish I had seen this podcast before I started training my puppy, but I'm on it now. Thank you for this great information.
-
I LOVE this! I was explaining to people that I teach my family pets the way sport dogs learn thanks to your methods. From what I understand about dog learning, many of them may perceive their names to be "no" 😆
-
This is great! I try to do impulse control to translate to startlines, and reward my dog when she comes when called on a daily basis. Have noticed her recall slipping a bit sometimes so will definitely stay on top of it.
-
To be a good family pet……. Thanks
-
What are your thoughts on "dog doors?" We have a fenced -in yard and our three dogs have always come in and out as they please. However, after listening to this podcast I feel like I am missing out on many opportunities to train my dogs. I will be rethinking how I use the dog door. Thank you for this "aha" moment!
-
Hi Susan, I'm doing crate games. We are making the rewards higher value when they return to the crate. In this podcast you suggest the reward of release from the crate is to play with you. When do you make the switch? Also when and how do you stop using high value treats?
-
Intentional, intentional, intentional. I must be more intentional. Really good podcast that I will listen to again. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
-
Absolutely bloomin brilliant! Can't say any more! Other than how dumb I am for all the opportunities I've missed!
-
SOOO awesome! I love the wait at the door. Keeps both the dogs and people safe, as they must wait and not trip you up running down stairs etc. My dog has been trained to mark and wait top and bottom stairs and not move until I am walking along side.
-
Susan!!!! Can you teach us how to train our dogs to be relaxed like This when she is in her hotzone to cut her nails??
-
OMG! Thank you! Makes total sense, If you give your dog a treat at the start line in training, how do you transition away from doing it - cold turkey?
-
Another great podcast Susan!Thank you! Just to clarify, if I’m practicing reinforcement Zone with my puppy, and want to get him to heel/close at my side up to a start line, can I reinforce at the start line upon arrival and then tell him to wait as long as I’m not walking/(throwing something) back to give him an additional reward?
-
Perfect! Love this!!
-
So what to do if you dog goes into the hot zone on their own free will while not playing the game and proceeds to bark to get treats.
-
intentional and intense share similar origins...
-
I think you are funny, and make a lot of sense.
