Training and Preparing Your Dog for The AKC Canine Good Citizen Test.

Appreciate that you included a dog that was a little nervous and anxious around people to show us how to approach that type of situation

I’m amazed at how well these dogs behaved with their age. Really shows how training makes all the difference. I didn’t even think they could do that well until they got older bc younger dogs have so much energy.

I appreciate the longer video! I know that short, punchline clips are very popular these days, but personally I love longer content. ^^ Thank you for what you do, your videos are amazing :D

Nate, I sincerely appreciate all of the videos you put out! I love how detailed you are and you really try to make a novice handler understand completely what it is your are teaching! Thank you so much for all you do!

I wish I could be there taking your amazing classes. I’m Japanese working in Brazil but as I’m watching all of your classes I know my dog will be like yours . You’re amazing I learn a lot every day. Thank you and congratulations!!!

This is totally useful!! Thank you for sharing❤️

My 9 month, border collie mix, could pass everything but calmly being pet. He'll sit/stay, but it's all over once the petting is initiated. He gets so excited, he'll try to push into people and then roll over. Anyone who comes down to his level, he jumps/climbs on. I've never had a pup like people so much.

Great refresher session for a service dog to do as well I love your videos my two owner trained service dogs do this easily but still great refresher to do

Thank you for this video as I am a dog training as well it’s always a pleasure to watch and learn from you and see just how much we both have the same training style. Love all of your videos!! 🐾

I friggin love dog training!!! Just had a great session with my girl, and I'm pumped. Thanks for this video! It was really cool. I love your teaching style.

This is gold 🎉❤ i’m currently in the classes to become a dog trainer and i’m learning SO MUCH stuff from your videos! Cheers from Poland 🙂

Amazing video. I am getting my puppy CGSD in 3 weeks or so, now trying to get as much information as I can, came across this channel, the training makes sooo much sense! Thank you

Hi. Thank you so very much for this informational and educational piece. I will continue to follow you. I plan to be a dog trainer but I want to make sure I cover all the basis and your videos are covering the areas I have questions on. I grew up with a dog and had a family dog in the past. Now I want to be able to help people who do not have money for the right trainer and help in a dog shelter. Thank you again for encouraging me to keep learning through your videos. Stay healthy, happy and safe

This is Awesome!!! So jealous you guys have so many cool places to train and learn. As always great video 👏👏👏

That point about pattern training, was really nice. I didn't realize there was a term for it, but I change it up on mine every time. Works great. It keeps them on task, not in a routine, no matter the command.

Hey Nate! Another great video. I've already been doing a few of these with my dog Creger. We have a neighborhood pond where people are always fishing. When Creger and I go on our walks we always greet people and he does excellent on his sit/stay. Also this last 4th he was outside with me all day and couldn't care less about the noise. He's only 4 months.

Man, I wish this video came along a few months ago! My GSD became protective a few months ago, and its been challenging to work through. He could pass trick dog no problem, but good citizen, not a chance! He's a little over a year now, so it's gonna take a lot more work breaking these "habits" he's been creating. I refuse to trezadone him up every time he needs to go to the vet, so this video will be of great help to work through this stage... Thank you!

I have been training a 10 month old Cavalier King Charles; she is very friendly I am a little concerned about getting her through this training and passing this test....I am grateful you have covered all of these 10 tests so I can continue to reinforce her progress. Your teachings and suggestions have been very helpful!

Was great training! Keep up the great work with the puppies.

Though I've been training multiple large breeds over the past four decades, I still believe whole-heartedly in group-obedience classes, and that is what I am truly missing here in Korea. I understand they have them; however, considering they have just begun treating dogs as "pets" (and not "tools" or food in this country) within the past 10 to 15 years, I have no faith in Korean trainers since they have limited experience and many utilize mostly strong-arm training styles as we Americans did 30/40 years ago. Regardless, they are all closed down currently due to the virus. Therefore, I am tasked with training my Doberman on my own and with little assistance with many things you've done in this video which I find would be very helpful in eliminating many of my boy's misbehaviors or faults. One major issue with Guinness is his desire to meet and greet every other puppy we come across. He not aggressive, just very friendly. I've taught him to love every living creature, including humans...Hahaha! Great job, well done!
