many people we've got now okay let's get into it um recall just a little show of hands if you're here because you have problems with recall or you have got a a new dog and you don't know where to start or you are one of the unfortunate people who just cannot let their dog off the lead because they've got themselves into trouble before thanks Paul Jeremy shaa car yeah you're all here for good reason okay so on behalf of your dogs your own dogs I would like to thank you for coming along because I always say that recall is one of the most important um disciplines skills however you want to describe it your dog needs to be able to live a free life okay doing what I do for the LI amount of time I've done it I've helped over 9,000 people on a Ono one basis so I've visited many people we have all man different problems and I've met many many probably hundreds of people over the years who have reported to me that they have not been able to let their dog off sometimes in excess of three four five years and that kind of pains me the reason that they said I can't let my dog off the lead is because usually that person has had a scare in the past the dog ran out the park it ran across the roads it disappeared into the woods and to pick it up from the police station the next day and all the these things that do happen in real life when our dog has not been trained okay so rather than take the course of those people understandably H have taken with regards to that set my dogs don't getting off lead ever again and that's really unfair to our dogs dogs aren't born to be on leads and colors we put them on leads and colors for their safety all right but what happens when we don't get into to the work to be able to do the work to give that dog the the the life that we want it to have and you want it as well and what happens is the dog doesn't get to uh it doesn't get its enrichment time running around the the park or the wood sniffing because you know it won't come back it's on a short lead all the time the frustration builds up it pools on the lead and then if we have a dog that's pulling in the lead and it's not relaxed it's not expending the energy it needs to do it becomes frustrated then we start getting other problems dog reactivity uh frustration the dog won't sit still in the house there's many many knock on effects to not be able to have your dog H or train your dog to have a solid recall okay I do have an online course I know that there's some members Clan dog members here some have been with me for many weeks months and I know there's one or two here have been made for well over a year or so um and that's not because what they're learning is is not having a fit it's because they liked the ability to be able to have a dog trainer in their pocket if you like to be able to come to with problems because there's nothing set in stone okay our dogs and our relationships are evolving all the time and what also what I founded in the past is that people look at a certain training aspect whether it be lead cooling um whether it be uh separation anxiety and they kind of do the work and then they park it they think that's done you don't program a dog that when we we've trained our skill into a dog it has to be maintained and then we start living it we start working it into our daily routines okay okay so let's make us stting it I think everybody isn't it's going to come in just now uh y so I'm going to concentrate on really on this just now so thanks very much for coming okay the aim of my uh the online course which you'll all get an option of looking at later on I'll tell you about later on and really what I'm doing tonight is trying to explain inwards what I put in training videos Etc uh the reason that I I I I created this online training video on recall training video is because when a dog comes into my life what I mean is as a client calls me to say Alan can you give me a help whatever that help is that dog has now coming into my life and I see it as my responsibility for one description to be able to do the best for that dog so that it can have the best life possible all right right um the other thing as I see quite regularly is the human becomes very frustrated and we have dogs for a good reason dogs enhance our life when we get it right dogs enhance Our Lives okay when we get it wrong dogs be a pain in the backside and it starts affecting your life I can't do this with my dog because I can't go here because my dog H I can't go and visit my pal for a coffee in the coffee shop because I can't tape a dog all these hundreds and hundreds of things I hear all the time so we don't want a dog to be a negative in your life we want it to be an asset if you're like all right okay let's look at um how let's distrib it all the way back so I don't know who you are I don't know where you are in the world I don't know what type of dog youve forgot the age of your dog the skill set of you the skill set of your dog so this is almost a generic a general conversation with regards to that okay so some of the things that I describe are not uh prevalent to yourself but many of them will be the one of the first things I normally see is and you will be able to resonate I'm sure some of you will resonate with some of the things about to talk about how many times do you use your dog's name okay if somebody if I was over there and somebody wanted me to come through to the neighbor room and they shouted Alan Alan Alan Alan i' be shouting what what what you're not telling a dog to anything we overuse our dog's name so let's talk about how we can get a dog to understand that noise that comes out our mouth the things that we call a word that means come back to me as soon as you can all right and we have so many variables let's use let's say that we use the word come the obvious one come and H the dog doesn't come but you already maybe train your dog to come and then we start putting our own human variables come the dog doesn't come come here ready come this way let's go these are all common mistakes okay I see Carol there smiling away having a we gig to herself I'm sure other people will be as well this is a non-judgmental h environment by the way guys okay I'm not here to finger point I'm here to make people be B aware to help you all right so when you choose a word what we call a word a noise always talk from the dog's point of view when we chose a noise that means when you hear there noise this word that means come back to me we can never change it okay we can't dilute it so if you have already been trying to recall your dog to the noise the word come for weeks or months and it's not happening you have to start a fresh and start with a new word because already that dog is trained to understand that when you say that thing you don't do anything about it and it means nothing to me all right now it doesn't matter to your dog what that noise is I've explained many times before with regards to how dogs perceive things so if I wanted to recall a brand new puppy dog and I'm going to train that dog every time you hear this word banana that means run to me now that's ridiculous to you a banana that's a thing that you eat it's not a dog it's just a noise okay so the point I'm making here is it doesn't matter what words you choose it matters that you're consistent with it you never change it in other words okay okay don't preempt every commands and I'm not going to use my dog's name because he's lying through there and if I start saying I to do this he'll start doing things I don't want to so I'm use what Freddy okay so if we start preempting every command with your dog's name soor there's still more people coming in um then it's harder for the dog to understand so Freddy come Freddy sit Freddy no Freddy leave ited Freddy in your bed Freddy come is all one noise it's a it's a name and a words to you but a dog it's all one noise so if you want your dog's attention if your dog is sitting right next you is not looking at you then I would use my dog's name I would say Freddy wait for the focus to come to me and then give them the instruction I want to do okay not Freddy come so if your dog is elsewhere don't start saying Freddy come or Freddy Freddy Freddy it means nothing by all means use your dog's name once to get his attention wait for the focus to come to you drop the name and then give you an instruction we'll get in more detail to that in a minute but choose your words and stick to it right excuse me drink my te when you are living with multiple Dog Handlers things that we call families Partners we've now got multiple Dog Handlers and as humans we are not clones you cannot replicate the word of your husband partner wife girlfriend son daughter whatever we've all got various pitches in our tone and you will find multiple Dog Handlers what we call families using different words you will find husband says come wife says come here child number one says this way let's go so as a family or a couple however many people have got a influential part of that dog's life I want you to sit down as a unit as a family and write down the words on a bit of pen of paper that you are going to use to communicate with your dog and for fun everybody sign at the bottom because sometimes people forget you will hear your loved one say come here and you will say to hang on I thought we're going to use come and they go no I thought we using come here but if you've written it down they've all signed it and you've stuck it in a fridge magnet on the fridge you can say there's a signature come equals recall okay important it really is important um to do that okay what we're trying to do remember is build value and consistency with the word so use it wisely do not bombard your your your dog with with recalls all the time for fun you know there's an elements hard for me to explain but recall as I said is the most valuable thing we don't want to over use it because we'll just piss the dog off if you're out giving it a recall a recall a recall eventually it's going to save plenty and we've got to make sure that we pay the dog for when for when it comes back there's got to be something in it for the dog all right so don't use it unless you know that you're willing and able to follow up your follow up your commands or your instructions however you want you want to describe it um and never try to recall your dog I wish I had a pound for every every client say well I try to do this and I try to do that we don't try whether succeed or we fail so we're going to get to equipment and what makes you able to follow through in the first place Longline training Etc we'll do it in more in more detail in a little minute okay we start at home everybody has got a dog including me for great reasons because they're the best exercise accessory we can get we love our country walks we love going out with our dog I would feel really odd walking around a park I've never had a dog in my life what I mean is I've never been without a dog in my life I just could not find myself walking around a park or walking around a hill on my own I would just feel weird I know there some people do I always look at them screen say why you do it for a walk why you got a dog but what we do with that is we we get a dog and somebody else com s we get a dog and we think how hard can it be especially if we're new to dog living with a dog I don't say dog ownership I don't own a dog I just live with a dog I've got a different view about it but the longest short of is people who have never had a dog before they think I'm going to get a dog because it's a great thing to have I can get me outside and go for lovely walks and they take the dog out a young puppy out they take it to the park which is full of other dogs it's full of distractions there's kids there's bikes there's cars there's everything going on and but at that stage the dog doesn't wander far from you you're letting a little PP off the lead it's out for its first walks or first few walks and it never goes far from you because at that stage that dog needs you for security it's not going to go far from you and you kind of rest on your laurels I don't know need to do recall because every time I turn that way turn that way turn that way the dog follows me brilliant but that's not what's going on the dog just following you because it needs you for security as your dog grows in confidence and is exposed to all this area that that you particularly because were all different expose your dog to is no longer new it's no longer scary the dog is growing its confidence and one day A dog will do something for the first time you would may walk that dog for weeks or months in that area and it's always with you it never goes far then one day your dog takes off to go and see the other dog in the park to chase the pigeon or the squirrel or whatever you think oh my God dog's never done that before we've kind of we've not lost anything but that's the time say I should they be doing some recall training before now that's where we're at with it okay so be aware of your environment we start recall at home and I mean at home your hous is your home your living room your your kitchen is your training environment it is your classroom okay do not think that you're only training outside I say this to clients I was with a client today I went to one client today and out of 9,000 people have asked this question I can count in one hand the amount of people have got it right when I ask people if you to be fair to our dogs if we want our dogs to know a skill then we have to teach them yeah so if asked a question when do you do your dog training where when do you do dog training the vast majority of people will tell me Well in the morning before I go to work take the dog to the park and I do this or I come home at lunchtime or after work I do this I take the dog out and I do XY Z that tells me that if you have specific times in your head that you're training the rest of the time you don't think you're act so when you are in training mode when you go outside for a dog walk I'm going to be doing fetch work or heel work or scent work or whatever you do and then you come back through the home you cross the door you close the door behind you you take lead off your dog and you switch off and you think whatever goes on home doesn't matter and you will find yourself your partner your family giving the dog a recall at times that you don't think matters so let's say you'll chilling in the living room and uh your dog is in the corner and teenage child decides that we want to give the dog a clap we do it all the times why we got dogs and you say Freddy and Freddy looks and you say come and Freddy doesn't come because Freddy's playing with her toy what happens then is that the human says Freddy's playing this toy it doesn't matter I'll give him a we clap later on it's not important so if you think about it what actually been doing you're training your dog you're diluting that recall command and you're training your dog to ignore you so protect your recall when I mean what I mean by that is tell everybody your friends and family your loved ones who come to visit do not allow people to undo your good work okay when you chose your word recall you must be willing and able to follow it through and that includes everybody all right okay um so you are training all the time is the message especially in your home the amount of times that you the amount of time that you spend with your dog in the home in comparison with outside is massive 90% of the time that you're interacting with your dog is in your home other than the morning walk the afternoon walk the evening walk or whatever okay so bear in mind what happens in the house goes hand the glove what happens outside if you're giving your dog a [ __ ] in the in the in the uh in the living room just chilling out in the kitchen whatever that Reco command that you're teaching your dog in a low distraction low energy environment when you have your dogs undivided attention because there's nothing exciting going on and you teach your dog when I say come it doesn't matter if you do or not and you do that dozens of times a day without really realizing it and then we take our dogs into a high distraction environment out in the park through the woods whatever and we sh Freddy come what chance have you got of Freddy coming back next to nil because 20 times in that day you were told Freddy to come or that week or whatever Freddy doesn't come and your te some recall means nothing all right so please please value whatever word that you use do not overuse it and do not use it flippantly okay I recall a recall no matter where they are there'll be times you need your dog to recall um and if you have been spending lots of time telling them to ignore you then that's what's going to happen Okay okay so start at home little and often is a secret for dog training okay I know that we're all busy people we've got work we've got families we got all man of stuff to do but make sure that you understand that training a dog is is and and the clan dog members here well I'm sure will agree that I will bore the hell out of you with my expression rinse and repeat which basically means how a dog learns dogss are situational Learners okay so the more times we teach a dog you do this thing and good things happen we do it in short intervals okay don't bombard your dog as I said all the time so you want to build this up over a period of time the whole I think the whole thing I'm trying to say guys is that we rush everything time is our enemy but please if you're going to rush anything else in your dogs training um please do not rush your recall we've got to slow it down you will get that lovely Country Walk a relaxed Country Walk with your dog off the lead walking through a Woods knowing that your dog will come back when you tell it but you've got to do the work you've got to be fair to your dog to say this is how it's going to work it could take you months depending on your dog if you've got a puppy and you're quite a skilled dog trainer Because by the way you are all dog trainers there's no other description for people like me and I say to people you've called the dog trainer what do you do while I'm up in Elric well regards to your dog when do you train your dog well I don't I never train my dog I took it to puppy classes a year ago no you're training your dog all the time you just didn't realize it so you every time you interact with your dog you're training your dog a positive or A negative always be aware of that okay so little off and don't bombard them with lots of commands keep it fun and keep it short and keep the small WIS coming along all right don't forget a dog training graph training graph is like a CO graph it'll go up and down like that eventually it does go up but you will have great mornings and then the dogs crap in the afternoon or vice versa you'll have a good few days and then the dog crashes do not every every kind of hangs on to the negatives oh waste of time and that's what happens and then you give up a it's not working I'll just keep it Le it's not working so don't do that just remember that that like us dogs have off days too okay so and it all it can affect your dog's training can be affected by your mood your behavior that's really important for you to know so slow it all down don't rush it start in the home and we've got to prove the behavior before we move on to the next environment so a recall in your boring living room is a lot easier with a big sausage in your hand it's going to be a lot easier than going to a wood with your dog off the lead and have a bit of kibble see all the variables in between we've got to prove that behavior in your first environment let's say inside the home and then as soon as you take your dog from inside the home to your garden be aware that that environment's changed the dog let's say you've got a big garden and you've got birds tweeting and you've got our neighbor's dog back in and you've got all the sights and smells and all the things that we don't know that the information highway is going up your dog's nose and that's a massive distraction so do not try and take your dog into a new more distracting environment until you've proved it in the lower distract environments okay don't rush it slow it down okay let's talk about your dog's reward hierarchy we've got to pay our dogs for good behaviors all right that's what they want and there's many benefits many rewards for your dog some dogs are are food orientated yes it's a great way to get your dog to learn something but we don't want to go around the rest of our life with a with a bag of chicken hanging at our pocket all right this is just a a way of getting the dog to understand the rules ah right I come back to you and good things happen so let's look at that if you're feeding your dog with tip bits and sweeties as many people do for just no apparent reason you know I've been in people's homes and they say hang on Freddy's sitting by the biscuit cupboard a bit give him a biscuit what her you know you're kind of devaluing my dog can get H little tip bits throughout the day he gets a tip bit just when he comes in from the walk what does he get tip it for though well just I know a routine that I give him um so you want to gather up all the benefits your dog's benefits because what benefits your dog might not necessarily benefit your neighbors or your moms and dads or whoever else is you've got to get to know your dog what makes your dog tick so let's look at um your police show your custom show there's the spaniel just found all these drugs in the back of a car and if you watch the show what does the dog get a tennis ball now that tennis ball you might just think as a ball but actually our specialist dogs or Bond dogs or drugs dogs Etc do not get paid until they have done their work so if I was to give a A drugs dog or a bomb dog it's special toy because it really loves that tennis ball if I gave that dog that toy before I go to work the dog doesn't want to go to work because I've already paid it so let's look at your dogs reward hierarchy you will have maybe a dozen or so um toys lying about the floor well they're not viable because the dog can access them any time it likes but you might notice that that dog really likes its little elephant or its snake or it's whatever that toy is if it's really keen on something remove it do not give your dog access to that keep that as our special ammunition for when you go out okay you are going to be the good guy everything good in your dog's life comes from you that's why we want to engage with them and interact with them in the correct way at the correct time okay so get to know your dog some dogs like chicken some dogs like saus days doesn't matter what it is try different bits and pieces some dogs are toy and play Orient some are not let's find something what can I give my dog that he or she really likes and I'm going to take all that benefit away from the dog until it does something for you okay we love we all love our dogs and love and affection is a reward for a dog if your dog is sitting on your knee all day long sitting watch the Telly and it gets Pats and claps all the time and it's sounds a we bit harsh guys okay but I'm just telling you how it is I restrict my love and affection I don't stop loving my dog but I restrict my love and affection when I'm bringing a dog through training because that's something that it wants and if it gets it on tap for no apparent reason then it I'm devaluing that I want to really I might ignore my dog my young dog under training yeah I'm going to say ignore it completely but I want talking about is I'm not sharing about love and affection and sweeties and tibits and having access to the ball then I've got nothing left to give it I need to be able to give that dog something for the things I'm asking it to do okay so find out what really makes your dog tick remove it and use that as a reward for actions that you're asking a dog to do okay let's look at your trainer environment again this I've kind of touched in it before but it's something that that a lot of people do not see they do not they do not look at the environment from the dog's point of you all you see is a beautiful River and nice park and trees etc etc think if I was a dog what am I seeing what am I smelling what am I looking at what is interesting to me and if you flood your dog with um with distraction with with old senses you are farting against under trying to get your dog to pay attention to you because all these things are a lot more interesting than us okay which I was talking about where we train for for environment make sure you're training in the right place is what I'm saying set yourself up and your dog for sleep success make sure you're aren't asking too much of them because you and your dog will fail if you are if you're trying to put your dog into a train your dog recall in an area that's got hundreds and hundreds of distractions then you're likely to fail okay so think about where you're training what level of distraction are you asking your dog to deal with um remember that you shouldn't add more distractions into your training until you have the the the solid recall in that first environment your living room then in the garden then an open park with no dogs in it and then we start looking for for different adding on distractions so we can improve the behavior and that will take some time it's a big thing I'll keep happening on it about slow it down don't have unrealistic expectations of your dog you being unfair to your dog okay um okay your environment will change I can go down to a local park in peos on a 7 8:00 on a Monday morning when it pee in the rain and I'll have that part to My self no dogs no people nothing I go to the same place and the on a Sunday afternoon and a Sunday and I've got people having barbecues there's dogs running free there's kids on bikes that it's the same place but it's a completely different environment so don't be as as humans we're habitual animals we do the same thing all the time we become boring to our dogs they know what we're going to do um we take them to the park with you know and it just becomes into this sort of MK so try to always look at things through your dog's point of view have a look at that environment if you always go to the park and one day you go to that Park and you think holy hell there's buddy dogs there's people there's everywhere turn around and go don't just say well I'm here now I'll give it a go because all you're going to do is undo the work that you've done before okay okay so one step at a time prove the behaviors before you move on to the next environment is what I'm saying okay how do we communicate with our dog we think that our dogs understand everything that comes out of that and believe me I talk Goble to Good crap to my dog at times that it doesn't matter you better been chasing I heard you sleeping he's dreaming he's barking and I'll just talk robish to him I'll start tell him what's going to his dinner you want biscuits you want a neck tonight all this rubbish that comes out our mouth he doesn't know what I'm talking about but it doesn't really matter then I don't do that when I'm working him he's off a lead he understands I'm very quiet and anything comes out my mouth I'm talking to him so think about it you go outside with your dog as a couple as a family uh with friends or whatever and you're in the park and you having a be Lether and the dog is hearing all this white noise just this rubbish coming out your mouth well there not rubbish do you in your P youever talking about as far as the dog's concerned you're just Bing this noise is coming out all the time and you throw in a Reco command and it just goes into the wind okay so be aware that when you're when you're talking to your dog you're not just using that okay dogs are expert at reading our behaviors our body language our posture and need to use that to help the dog understand what you're asking it to do let's look at your how you deliver your verbal if I was to shout to a dog come come it'sing it completely different the head and I said c almost like a do it also if I went to a dog come is that inviting it's the same word I've used but I've used it in different tones now that's why I say to people take the emotion your emotion out of dog training because if you're not aware if you're not mindful of your actions how you deliver things and you're not aware of what you're doing as many people don't do then your vocal cards change let's look at man in the park who's got cuz times are anyway we've got 20 minutes to let the dog out for it peas and PE the morning before he goes to work and he lets the dog off Le cuz it normally comes back and he shouts after the way right I better go back and get ready for work and you shows Freddy come and Freddy doesn't come then you hear them go come on you'll change the noise you'll change the instruction just in case you'll start adding on the name Freddy come on let's go and all these things but now the tone the vocal cords are changing come on yeah not inviting that's why I say take the motion out of it same tone so when we use clickers for example a clicker you cannot vary how that thing clicks click click it never changes tone that's why clickers are good in so much as that you can't change the variable you can't change the noise you can't change the words but you can still achieve that goal by being Mindful and aware that that's the noise I deliver remember it's a noise not a word to a dog come is receive completely differently okay there's still people coming in here excuse me let them in so body posture is what I'm going to be talking about your dog watches you and examines you and studies you far more than you examine and study your dog right body posture if you are standing upright and you're a big guy or a woman or whatever and you're sh Belling at your dog come it's not very inviting if you squat down I know some people got Dody knees or whatever but I'm just talking generally you squat down you're open arms you say g g the dog comes to you and we get all excited like a 10-year-old on Christmas day oh you beauty and that's that's engagement that's that's why the dog wants to come back to you yes we can Mark and reward that behavior with food tip bits or a tug of war if you got a terrier that's the dog's Outlet why am I coming back what's what's in it for me says the dog so do not when you're in training do not take it for granted you'll get to that later on in life but the time being when you're training recall makes sure there's something in it for the dog as why I was talking about your dog's reward hierarchy or or your love and affection or its favorite toy or whatever okay right body posture is important when I try to when I try to take a picture of my client's dogs I usually take a we picture at the end of it of course I squat down Myers to take a picture rather than looking down at the top of the dog's head I want it to be that way course as soon as I Scot down the dog doesn't stand still for its picture it comes to me and I'm not saying anything because my body posture says come to me try it when you're in your home and your dog is not talking about sleeping his bed but your dog is active enough he's awake and just you slide off your seat or te on the floor say nothing and watch what happens your dog will come to you what you do here what you in my street for what we what we up to so we need that level to be able to come down into your dog's level to encourage to come to you okay I'm not going to go into whistles and stuff that's a completely different H um Advanced or more advanced side of things let's keep the basic just now so start building body posture into your training be aware of what your body is saying to your dog is what I'm saying use it at the same time as a recall word and see how this can help you especially when you start working at distance with your dog okay um if you're unable to bend down then perhaps try adding another another body language element like open your arms out wide so if you can't bend down you've got kner knes whatever come come come that signal that the dog is reading means come back to me so adjust and adapt to your to your own levels if you like okay a lot of people think that using a lead is only for your dog when they're out on the side of the road traffic or whatever no I talked before about willing and able to follow your commands and the biggest thing that people miss out which I'll come into more detail in a minute is long lead training okay people go from puppy Hood my dog doesn't need um um I don't need to do recall training as I said before because the dog always hangs around me when it's young and it's insecure and it needs you and then you think great and they take the dog to the park and they take it through the woods and let the dog off and then all of a sudden it's we to see how p no squirrel woof off it goes and we're and all we're doing guys is we are gambling that the dog does come back we're gambling it doesn't run across the road we're gambling that it doesn't get itself into trouble and we're gambling by the way it's something I do harp on about that your friendly lovely dog runs across to see another dog to go play believe me this is going on and I'm sure as dog lovers yourself you've just seen it or suffered it I use that word deliberately somebody else's dog friendly dog comes running up to your dog and your and that dog's on the lead if you see a dog in the lead and your dog is off lead and your dog has got no recall and you can't stop your dog and it goes to see that dog and it gets chewed up by this reactive aggressive dog because that's why they're on a lead yeah whose fault is it because this is what happens in the in the park people start saying you shouldn't have a dog like that here that person's got their dog under control it's your dog that had freedom to run across and you don't have the skills and the dog didn't have the skills to say do not go to that dog come back to me so there are many many things that can happen guys okay when a dog is free to make its own choices as he want I'm saying okay so using your leads at home is you're able to follow up you can use a long lead you can use a washing rope you can do anything you want so if in a garden you have got your dog 5 yards away from you and your dog is attached to a long lead and you squat down in the garden and you say come and the dog comes to you brilliant you can give it reward you can give it Freedom by giving it a play with a toy you give it food any rewards that you're going to be giving it if your dog chooses no I'm looking the other way you can when I talk about checking your dog you're not yanking your dog it's almost like somebody tugging your sleeve saying hey excuse me it's not pulling them in roping them in like a like a fish either all you're saying hey the dog will get your attention and then you'll find excuse me it will come to you okay come it's not coming little check come then it comes to you what you're saying is I still have control you're teaching the dog just because you're 5 10 yards away from it I still have that control to be able to follow it through okay that's important so start using your your lead or your or your long line at home as well you can do with a lead in the kitchen even if your lead's only one and a half two meters along whatever come start using the rules of the game distance is the last thing we are on okay okay long lines hands up if you one know what a long line is and I'm not talking about extended leads yeah hands up if you use it or have been using it okay so there's a few people here who have not been using them okay that's cool that's what you here for to to learn if you don't know what a long lead is please do not get it mixed up with an extended lead okay I'm not going to Har on about the what pros and cons of an extended lead extended leads tend to be a bit of a people buy them or use them because when a dogs not got recall but I wanted to have some Freedom all that's happening there guys the dog is never going to get used to feeling nothing completely an extend has got spring moded recoil on it and the dog is always aware of something attached to it all the time okay a long line is able to you can hold it uh if your environment changes if you're in a big open Park and uh you're confident enough that the dog has got enough skills and engagement with you that you don't need to hold it you can let the dog drag it okay if that environment changes because a dog walker walks into the park a half a dozen dogs running about you think oh I know what's going to happen here you can scoop down and pick up that long line okay so it's a variable um but a long line training let's get used to um understanding that again there's so many variables to this I've been doing it for so long now that I've got a very good technique that I can use a long line with a dog on a collar there are certain types very occasionally but I wouldn't I'm talking about a really powerful dog 35 40 kilo dog that has serious power in it and it wants to go Mac 2 takes off if I'm holding a 30t long line at the very end of it that dog who sitting next to me who decides to take off will be up to maximum speed within about 10 15 feet now what happens is if the dog's wearing a collar and a long line attached to the collar it's now at full Pelt it's going to do something dangerous and I'm holding on to that one obviously the dog could well get injured because that sudden jol where the when the the line comes to it runs out of line is all in the neck woof we don't want that the other thing being is you could be injured you could be pulled down so I rather me teach you or try to teach you in Words which I can't it's all in the training video and if I try and teach you in words the technique of of being able to use it line and color then somebody could get hurt and I don't want that so the reason I'm saying is that if you have H going to be using long line training then I suggest you use a harness especially for big powerful dogs okay because if it does reach the end of that 30t long long long line and it's going to full P it weight and it's attached to a harness at the back then the do is not going to be injured still good chance you're going to get pulled over or something but I'm talking the dog's point of view okay okay so that's equipments the only three really things you need is your reward toy your reward squeaky ball uh it's we elephant um some food your love and affection and your excitement because when your dog comes back to you because that is the biggest skill of dog needs I'm going to get really super excited I hate that expression I don't know why I just said that super excited rubish don't like it I'm going to get really excited right okay and then I'm going to stop I'm going to go on forever about it dog comes in there a good boy he's clever throw the ball there we go weite start again give your dog some down time give it five or 10 minutes do another one start quartering zigzagging when the dog because dogs give us behaviors that we that we want all the time but if we've not asked the dog to do it we forget to say thank you for example if we want a dog to be nice and calm in the house and we're saying right I want you to line on your bed and then we say to dog go to the bed and the dog goes to the bed and you say good dog or you give a tip it because I asked you to do it and you've done it I'll say thank you but what we forget to do is that we watch our dogs we don't observe our dogs enough and you maybe if you've been observing your dog and your dog chooses of its own accord to go to bed I would Mark and reward that behavior because when we say thank you to a dog for a behavior it's going to do it more so you see your dog just wanding across and putting itself in bed and you think well I didn't ask to do it so why would I say thank you you do you want to be able to say good boy good girl whatever all right and this goes for recall too so if you're quartering on a long line and you're rather than walk in a big boring straight line because that's what happens dog we become boring dog switches off and it looks for other things to do usually the other things that the dog wants to do are things that we don't want it to do all right so don't go in that loveely Country Walk or in the park in a big boring straight line or Circle you're always walking forwards okay do a bit quartering turn 5 years here 20 years that way 15 years that way and you're always walking away from the dog so let's say that you're in a park your dog's in a long line and your dog starts wandering away it's at the full length of the line now and I'm not going to be toed along behind the dog I'm going to make a turn away from the dog and I'm going to say watch or another word noise that you choose to me watch means L we tling it's not a recall for me a recall is when I'm standing still and the dog comes to me here if I use the word watch it's to get the dog attention and look we're going this way it keeps your dog engaged with you in that kind of 30 40 ft s circumference of you okay when it reaches that boundary I'm going to turn away from the dog and call it now we're talking about recall here if your dog is uh it's it's standing looking at something it's just stand still and it's looking at a dog 100 yards away just standing still it's not do bad and you're still walking allow that distance from your dog and you as you walk away from your dog I love that distance but always going to be look over your shoulder at some point either your dog's going to lift its head to go where's Mom where's Dad and they look and they start coming anyway don't they but because you've not said come you think oh well how how I say thank you for that if your dog is naturally starting to turn around and come towards you reverse train turn around squat down and Shout come the dog's coming to you anyway it's a chance for you to reinforce that's what I want you to do the dog was coming it wants to come to you squat down come come come there's a good boy off we go again reset okay so you're aware of that does that does that make sense de here cool okay let's look at how we can help with a training partner whether it be a family member or friend family member or train actually put post on tonight the one to one I was doing today and I was I was acting as the training partner but I'm sure we all got a friend or or a loved one family member who can help us with this so let's look at How We Do It um we have the dog's favorite toy uh its favorite food its rewards and I am your training partner and we go to this uh a correct training environment shall we say and I'm going to ask you you're the dog hand at this point I I'm the son husband doesn't matter the person holding the dog has nothing to do with the dog okay all I'm doing is I'm a tree I'm just keeping the dog here because the dog will want to follow you and I want to try and create some distance between the dog and you so that it can recall again if anyone's on Facebook have a look at the clan dog post tonight it's a very 5c short clip all right so I'm holding the dog do not ask your dog for a set stay because if the dog has that that's great if your dog doesn't have a long stay it's not about that skill yet then just ask somebody you hold the dog there I'm going to walk 20 30 yards away with a dog's toy and I'm going to say look what I've got I'm going to walk backwards and the dog's going sh you got my toy where you going I want to come with you but the person is holding the dog solid then I'm going to get some distance away 20 yards 30 ft whatever you want and I'm going to give a signal to my to me you're going to give a signal to me to say I'm about to call the dog it give a simple hand in there and then you shout come you bend down you open your arms you start recalling and your training partner just simply let's go that long line and the dog will take off in a straight line right towards you some people or some dogs are bigger pardon some dogs will come so fast they might run past you if that's the case as it runs past you you can gather up that long line because you now regaining control of the dog okay but if it comes straight to you good dog good girl whatever you want get excited about it I can't get guys to do because you're all too bloody mat show but I don't care about that because train the dog and that's all the matters to be all right okay so get excited about it for just a few seconds and then stop we have to get the dog to to understand that great things happened when I came back and I got rewarded for it and then we reset again if you're cutting the dog and saying thanks for the next 5 10 minutes then it you know it just becomes a bit of a mess so we've got to get the dog to understand when I come back and then we nice and quiet again okay don't keep praising the dog he's a good boy you done know five minutes ago go okay it's got to understand that's what I got praised for and then then you go quiet again okay um we talked about equipment uh let's CH long line okay a long line for usually about sort of 10 I use a 10 m ones about 30 ft you get them off Amazon not expensive 10 or something I don't know uh something like that but also remember that the the the long line I I've got a few obviously my trainer but the long line I would use for uh fully grown Labrador whatever is not going to be suitable to a long line for uh uh met ter teacup because that long line if it's dragging through the grass getting wet it's gaining weight as well okay so don't go and buy yourself a big horse lung and rope and expect your R Terrier to be able to pull it around it's just applying Common Sense what is going to be um what's my dog going to be able to drag around if need be if you've got a big powerful dog yeah you can get a big long lead if you got a very small dog or a young puppy or whatever don't be asking it to because it'll just sit still and I can't move I can't move this all right so make sure that your equipment is suitable to your dog is what I'm saying if you have a big powerful dog and you have this kind of web this this long Le web whatever you might want to consider a pair of gloves because I've had other trainers or other clients rather in the past you said well I tried the long line but I got rope Burns yeah I know that can happen I've had many times I've been lined up my backside many times as well I know how long lines can be a bit of a GLE you just have to be aware of it but don't say well I'm not using a long line again get yourself a pair of gloves okay and get your Technique right as well okay so I want you to ask yourselves can you answer yes to any of the for or yes to the following questions my dog is coming to recall the recall word first time every time at home and in my garden or a very low distraction area the answer is simply yes or no yes in my house and in my garden every time I say come the dog comes it's either yes or no um I've stuck with the previous exercise in the course for for the last week or longer I've needed consistently I'm getting success every time it's either yes or no uh I've identified the next step environment which might be a quiet area of local park or a green outdoor space somewhere that I can use I'm planning on setting myself up for the dog for Success yes now what I'm trying to get to guys is ask yourself can I prove the behavior before I move on to the next exciting more challenging for your dog environment if you can't do it in the garden and you can't do it in your home then you're nowhere near ready to be going out and expecting your dog to recall in a high distraction Zone that's all I'm asking you to do be aware what stage am I at am I at what stage is my dog at okay do not ask them too much if you feel the need to go for all the country walk then ually Le use a long line whatever do not give your dog its complete freedom because it will become it default to be a dog and it will chase and it will disappear and it'll get yourself into trouble okay the only trouble with long lines is when you try and walk out your dog in a long line through a wooded area it's going to get wrapped BR new bushes etc etc so you're probably training in the wrong environment and I use the word very deliberately but carefully but selfishly you want to go walk in the woods with your dog yeah you'll get there but your dog's not ready for it yet okay and I don't want you every to to revert back to the well my dog's giving too many scares just now so you're never going off the lead what have you lost what you should be doing saying okay well I'm not let you off the lead just now so that you can get off the lead later on as opposed to the amount of people have helped and seen to say dogs never enough to lead for months or years then it becomes really problematic all right okay um there are there are other methods and stuff which I can only really demonstrate in video format and that's actually part of the the the the training video which I've created which again I'll send you a link because everybody here and every who's registered will be get an email tomorrow sent out to you um and it's just a a link to the course itself if you want to take it but there are other techniques if you're on your own with regards to the strin recall what I mean by that is I just I try to explain in words me being the training partner and just being an anchor a tree if you like there are other techniques ways if you're on your own how you can still gain that effect and have the recall whilst you're on your own using a long line and using something which again is demonstrated visually and you'll understand it more in in the video if you choose to to take that on board okay and somehow to handle big distractions at some point you'll have to take the plunge and start training a recall around those bigger distractions if you don't just wander into them anywhere okay the ones that really test your ability their ability to listen to you so so that's why I'm saying I don't want you get frustrated or giv in so I would rather you trained in the right way in the right environment at the right speed if you like so that you don't get frustrated and give in I don't want your dogs to be one of these dogs that I've met many many of them many times before where they no longer get off all right so we need to do it in small behaviors so you're working up to the big distractors always think living room compared with a part for the kids and other dogs completely different yes your dog can listen to the living room no he can't listen to me in a par with other dogs in all the other stages in between okay so try and identify in your local area where that is and what that is take your time doing this all right okay what's your dog's excitement levels they will change if you know your dog and you can read your dog's body language and their excitement levels there might be vocal dogs they might start losing um um focus on you because there's other things to focus on look at your dog when you're training don't look where you're going and enjoy the love the scene way you are training at this point and you looking at your dog is the most important thing if your dog starts to show signs of hyperarousal get out of there okay it's just guaranteed to go wrong there's nothing wrong with saying went to the park as I said before but my God that place is Mayhem I'm out here I'm going to find somewhere else to walk my dog in that day okay um so we only move to your next distraction level as in when you're ready stay positive at all times always remember your Co graph dogs do have good days bad days great afternoons good weeks bad months whatever take your little ones and remember them all right um okay do you does anybody have any specific questions if you do stick your hand up or just unmute yourself and fire away I'm sure there be somebody has there's two pages of people here so I need to flick back between anybody here okay it doesn't look like anybody has any questions is that right oh Paul are you okay Paul if you just unmute do you have to unmute yourself Paul Paul Helm no you're talking but I mean actually unmute unmute the on the computer I'll just press a little button it says ask to unmute Paul okay there we go yeah we I can hear you now great how can I help you Paul well we we did get our little dog some bit of training and my wife and I were both told to get the same whistle which he does respond to at times from the garden doesn't he and the house and in the house but from what you say you should each have a different command no I Whistle just uh I use a whistle for working a dog at distance so for example everything starts close okay so when your dog is sitting in the living room a yard or two away from you you're not going to start blowing a whistle yeah right okay so you're going to start using your T because it's what we do we talked we're never always carrying a whistle with us are we so a whistle is uh an extension of a recall so I said to you before I'm going to start talking whistles but here we are we're talking about them so if I use a verbal noise come word for example and then I want to that dog once I've got that verbal command come because I remember I said distance is the last thing we had on and I want to um now start teaching that dog a whistle command so when you hear the noise come that means get to be here's something else that means come to me a whistle now I use a whistle uh for different command I've got emergency stop which is a big long beep dogs running bang bang it's it back side goes on the floor and it stops what I use a single peep to turn a dog so if I'm working a dog through cover and I want it to go from there to there and back again and back again and back again every time it reaches the extension of the area that want to I'll give it a single peep this way goes to that side peep that way and I'm walking forward and the dogs quartering zigzagging all the time now I've got a recall whistle which is beep now I I'm down to one dog at the moment I used to have four or five dogs and when I was working um I get my young son at the time he's now in his but at the time is I would say right you go and work per day and dle at the other end and there's a whistle now you know what dad's commands sound like yeah Dad I said but you you blow the whistle like me so I'll go beep beep for a recall and ask anybody here to replicate that with the same whistle and they go dog doesn't listen to you because it's a different noise it's the same whistle but it's like Kate WS at the N Titanic okay so you have to practice your own whistle do you understand that so just because I actually have on more than on occasion and I'm sorry but I love this stuff because it does make me laugh I've had emails from people who say Allan I bought I bought a dog whistle from a dog but it doesn't work what will I do and I went take it back to the shop no I don't mean that I can hear it but the dog doesn't come back and I said if you train the dog to not just a dog whistle if I blow what like you go in a park and you blow a whistle and you get 20 dogs because it some magical magnet no it doesn't work like that so okay so to go back to what you're saying Paul if your dog is coming in from I think you said your garden yeah yeah okay but it won't come into recall command from you it'll come into whistle but not command is that right depends out what mood is it talking about we're worried about what he worri what worries us uh if the front door is left and he can get out it'd be in the next County we've had to chase him several times it's just gone and he's gone so quickly so we bought one of these special Gates so you can part open the door which is which is great but we're just terrified when he does get out it's across the road the whistle no it won't come to whistle just totally ignores it even though it responds to it in the garden uh I mean he's four years old I hope he's trainable but come on it's going going to need a lot more a lot a lot of effort Paul was was he a rescue dog you say he's foury old and no we do think he had a fright early in his life we got him when he was a little over three months old all right well we think he was stolen possibly but uh we we subsequently found out that in fact he was born on a puppy Farm okay but can I just pause you there a minute because you said he's now four year old and I hope he's trainable but you've had him since three months old and he's still want to make an escape board and run so have you had help have you done training we have had help we've just paid 200 for somebody yeah and we we took him to U puppy class didn't we nap when we first got him they said he was too nervous okay a couple of things puppy classes I don't like them I'll be very blunt and honest about that I don't like them because your vet will say I've got three p personal friends who are vet and I say why do you keep telling people to go these bloody puppy classes I know Al but all we're doing about a puppy is exposing that dog to that dog's future life yeah yeah and they call it socializing so you went to puppy classes when was the last time you took your dog into a slippy for scout Hall with 20 other dogs barking never no because that's not real life is it no when we expose a young dog to what your dog's life is going to look like cuz my dog goes in PL I'm actually leaving right after here I'm heading for Isa and I've got speed boats to take back and for from a to and my dog comes with me he's been on planes he's been on H you name it it doesn't matter so some might might be here saying I take my dog to work so they have to live in a town that that dog has got to get used to town traffic on a bus sitting in the office under the desk all the stuff that my dog doesn't do and maybe yours don't but but so get back to the point is that stop thinking that when you go to a trainer even me cuz I say to people you call me a dog trainer I'm here to train you it's point I had a dog training school and I had 46 dogs every day for 10 years I've seen thousands of dogs okay and people used to say to me Allan could you take my dog and keep it for a week a month sometimes three months of was rehab and train my dog and hand me back a trained dog and in those days I emphasize the word dog I was a dog trainer and I thought naively in those days everybody had a dog knew what they were doing they just wanted me to do the hard work and then they would maintain it so they I spend weeks and months training this dog they would come and pick that dog and I would say right it's your dog ready come and get it and I would spend ages with them with the dog and they think that's incredible completely different dog can't thank enough Alan thank you so much and off they would go they would pH me within a week 10 days and say Alan H the dog's not doing this anymore the dog started doing that thing again and I would say what is it you're doing and I would break down like this and I say that's not no wonder your dogs doing this do you know what you're doing so they thought the dog was some kind of programmable bloody thing you're training all the time you are the dog trainers so I stopped doing that people say can you keep my dog pointless I could hand anybody my highly trained dog say can you look after Auto for a week for me please because I'm going the holiday and I know when I came back my dog would be loved cared for fed watered safe great but he's going to do something different because the dogs absorb and uh change according to the environment so if I was to take your dog for a fortnite and he no longer runs out the front door he no longer does this and other and I hand them back to you do you think their dog will still run out the front door yes he will because the environment is different the rules are different people have no boundaries in the home so there's lots of stuff going on so I'm just asking everybody here do not think that your own dog trainer is going to train your dog because I could train your dog for a week and hand you back a fully brilliant dog with solid recall and I hand it to you but you don't know what you're doing I don't me that detrimentally I'm just talking about the you generally and if I don't train you how to interact with a dog that is of no use to you that week of fortnite with me is a complete waste of time yeah a dog hander dog trainer when you go to a class for example you should really be there to learn how so you can maintain their skills that dog trainer not a dog trainer in the world that can program a dog and say there's your dog fixed just you carry on communicating in the way that you are acting the way you are but the dog will act different it is impossible for any dog to to act differently unless the human does the H do so when I go around and I know there's a lot of people here who have had one to ones with me but when I go to people's homes to train their dog because that's what they've called me to do the vast majority 90% of my efforts are concentrated on training the human Helen can I ask you to pop up just now Helen is um a clan dog member has been with us for a long time am I right saying that that jger Helen's got a young cocker spaniel just now and Jer was your first dog is that right he is our first dog yeah first time parents Ellen's been with cland dog for a long time and she's gone from not having a dog by the way it's a Cocker Spaniel and that might not mean a lot to but it's like I always compare it to get getting a cocker spaniel for the first dog it's like passing your driving test and then going by a Ferrari you driving a mini mate you think that's going to bend that you're going to bend that thing however so I like many people Helen got and she's been on a long journey so I think Helen is a great one to to to explain to every know that how I've done very little training off her dog but I think the vast majority of Helen successes and I do not take the credit for when people say to me my dog's Problem whatever that thing is fixed I take a little bit of credit but only because that person has listened they've watched my videos they've come along the the webinars they've learned they've learned and they H their own skills because they are training all the time yeah so I speak Paul just one quick question don't to monopolize anything we've thought of taking Dixie to one of these um Open Spaces secure Open Spaces would that be beneficial do you think well all the freedom field do it's a cop out I'm not not be negative about this and if you like for example I I've had people who um have rescued a dog and it doesn't matter from a rescu their dog a three-year-old dog from Romania it's a long dog it's a Psy dog it's a hung dog it's got lots of issues it's had a really bad life and they cannot get that dog really under control to be able to walk freeze the dog that's when I would say okay well if you need to give your dog and Outlet go to Freedom Fields what I don't like what I don't agree with is people using these freedom field Fields as a complete cop out for training yes it's secure yes you can get them for a 10 an hour half an hour whatever you do I don't know and your dog is the only dog in there it's not socializing with other dogs it's not learning anything it's just getting physical exercise but you're and you can yes you can still use a freedom field for training but don't take your doct to a freedom field just to say there you go if you bug off and just go and do something I'll run around I'll catch at the end of it go home your dog's not learing anything you're not learing anything so I would don't go there and if you've got a certain lifestyle you might have some people might have physical ailments that I can't actually do the things I need to do for my dog so what I can do is I can take my dog and give my dog the best best I can life to say in a freedom field I know you're safe I know you're secure go and run about D or throw a ball for you whatever but that's the best I can give you in life okay we've got a big Garden so he's got the freedom of that so I don't know whe it'd be more beneficial than that but but everything okay okay well everything have been saying as well you go CU your we dog there whatever you know um we're not going to have a big powerful dog you could probably get away with using a callar in a light long line and start doing that okay I'll do that we'll do that but you know if if if your dog is vying for Freedom as soon as that door's open that you're talking about Yahoo obviously the danger we always earn the side of safety okay yeah thank you so Helen I was just sort of kind of just asking there just to to and the reason reason I'm asking Helen just to have a few words whatever you want to say is I don't want to disappoint people by saying take your time do not rush the people who rush things and go into the next stage two ear the people that fail and the people that give in and the people that end up with dogs on leads for a long time know Helen's been how long you been met CL year and a half two years or something I think so I think so we we had jger on we started late we started when he was a year old because we didn't find Clan dog until he was a year and then as I say to people we actually thought we'd made a mistake getting a dog and then it was a recommendation from a friend and we had him on the long line for 13 months because he his recall was really poor so until we had reached a stage that we knew that he would come back he did not get off the long line he just didn't do it and we got laughed at and people would make jokes but as I always say we are now a way up the hill Hills and everybody else's dogs are on their leads because they have no recall so as as Alan would say you have to put the work in first because you're doing it for the greater good and it does take time and it is frustrating because everybody else has got their dogs off and they're saying oh you know my little Trixie Bells got perfect recall and they haven't they just haven't and we had a terrible incident recently um I think it was about six months ago where we were in the park Jer and I were walking and a dog shot across the park about 800 yards and attacked him for no reason and the owner didn't have recall you know it just and that's what happens and you you have to train your dog so that um for the for these incidences and for their safety and that's why we're doing it yeah okay so I mean always remember guys when I mean I know that we got a different age dog and different School anals different read Outlets Etc but if we have a young dog and I'm I'm talking about a puppy I'm talking about a dog even two three year old whether you you're a big-hearted person you're a dog's one or rehomes one or whatever you've still got a dog for a long time and I would rather have a rather people limited their dogs freedom and exposure to all the stuff we been talking about the ability to get themselves into trouble in other words for a short period of time to do the work to get the skills so the vast majority of your life you can have a free life as opposed to I'll give it go see what happens the dogs if they do get away with running across the road if they do get away with you know all the stuff had a local dog here that was last winter was out for 10 nights it got itself lost and it was a way out in the Frozen Hills there's drones looking for it there's Mountain Rescue looking for it I it's an extreme case but as I said we always take the risk of I met a lady in fact three might be here another clan dog member who came down from came through from the West Coast have one one with one to one with me stay in hotel and she was staying in a dog friendly hotel and this was just yesterday I think day before who said that someday in the hotel his dog had got out the hotel and it was running up and down the street there was people members of the public running after this dog they eventually caught it but it was it was there stopping cars there was all man of things you know this goes on if you haven't if you haven't experienced it or suffered it yourself you know it it does happen so that's what we're trying to avoid we're always just getting away with things okay that's what he'd be doing yeah that's what he does okay okay thanks for that Helen okay does anybody else have any questions at all about hi shaa where are you there we go if you sh did you put your hand up there if you just ask you to unmute yeah there thank you hi uh it's just about um pre Drive I mean I struggle with a recall mainly because of pre Drive drive if she sees a cow it's mainly crows and birds what sort of dog do you have Cocker Spaniard how old is it um 20 months 21 months okay have you had it since a pup yes how much training have you done H sort of quite sporadic to be honest just after I got her it was a Brean and things and so I kind of struggled away bit but I've had a one to one with you for um like barking issues and other issues and that's really going great but the recall as soon as she sees a crew I mean she's on a long line all the time but she's just off like a bullet uncontrollable off now I I know that the fact that we we we cannot control the environment as I said before we can walk Park and there's not a bird in the sky there's nothing there and it changes and I can't say stop when if you'd say to me you know I'm going for a walk in the park and and the farmer FS either say I would simply say you're training in the wrong environment but if you're in an empty Park in a crow lands we kind of control that that's going that's real life that's what happens okay but it's just about how do we get a dog to engage with us we want our dogs to be with us so there's a many times that people will give me a list of list of problems that the dog won't do this it keeps doing that whatever and I look and I say your relationship's wrong yeah you become I think it's maybe yeah sorry I think it's maybe a lack of Engagement you know I've been working on that but it's it is it is quite a problem I don't I can't see getting her off line because of it okay well is your son name duus yes that's right right okay I just got the show there I'm that got a cocker spaniel a first dog um she's really come on great since my one to one with you and other issues shown us another excuse me because of people in dogs names all the time I did recognize to connect the name there but shown us another clan dog member so came to with a certain of problems which you've been working on you you've succeeded with whatever so now just start to F tune about I know that your relationship and this is I know we're talking on open form here I'm not pointing fingers I know that we had to tidy up your relationship a little bit because of how yeah yeah and I speak to everybody here sometimes we are viewed by our dogs as good kind loving providers times of high distraction you're not a leader no I'm and that goes with many many people okay so do not think that's a point at you sh or all it's out of 9,000 people have H yeah probably the first thing I go to is let's sort out your relationship first dogs that are and I always say that we can't be we could be I'm a big Ginger mate and he is my best mate okay every dog I've ever had I wouldn't be here if it wasn't one particular dog a long time ago but I even go into that but the long short of it is I love a dog in a way that a dog understands okay but I'm still that dog's calm confident consistent leader not a good kind loving provider because I want my dogs to have the best life possible I want him to go to the dog friendly beastro as opposed to the person says I would love to have a pint in the beer garden but I can't because he'll jump up he'll steal food you'll back at dogs your dog stays at home and that person goes for a pine I want my dog to understand that when I say something mate you've got to do that thing that's it and that's down to relationship because we when we're living with our dogs all the time some people live with their dogs in the bedroom and nothing to teas I be yeah that was me yeah know you're not alone either I'm other people going get down Freddy that's what it happen Okay but I'm not being a hyoc because when I finish here I'm going to have a cup of te five minutes and I'm going to invite my dog into the most important places where I rest up you come because I want a dog hug yeah yeah but there we have to be fair to dogs one set of rules cuz dogs don't understand exceptions I get people saying to me I'm I'm serious even the whistle thing blows my mind but I get people saying to me I want you to stop my dog uh jumping up into C te after he comes in for my walk because he's dirty I'm like what so what you really asked me to do is to explain to a dog see if you've got dirty feet you have to know the difference between when you can jump up when you can't don't Dirty Feet you up or you're down or you suffer aity or not but you can't be say to a dog you know here's an exception so make it rule I put lots of boundaries in place so that I can remove those boundaries like we as kids or anybody who's got family here as our kids grow up and they earn that trust we remove that boundary yes you can stay out later yes you can go to that party yes you can do that thing okay it's it's far easier removing boundaries that you have put in than saying it's all going to rapo a better start putting boundaries in place then the dogs going hi well now I was having a great life and you start asking me to go in a crate now GS yeah there is a huge difference since the boundaries come in honestly I mean I can't thank you enough to be honest that she's a different dog so go back to what we're saying with Helen I do not take the credit because I have not trained your dog you have trained your dog yeah I trained you to change I in the bed but that's it it's done she's you know and it's made a huge difference to her behavior and everything she's she actually interacting with me now she's listening you know and she's not so all all we're doing shaa is really kind of rebuilding that relationship and remember do not slide back that ja and hide people might not know what I'm talking about here but sh I have had a one to one when I talk about being a jack dog I'm not talking being an ogre I'm talking about being somebody that is a human to human might seem ignorant walk in ignore your dog you might feel bad about that I said yeah when your dog gives you something has a good give you love and affection then all the stuff that I talk you about mean maintain that because our our relationship with our dog is fluid it it's not fixed we don't do something that's the dog you know got recall and we never have to keep that going now you don't train a dog to do something and then not use it for a week or two and expect it to know it we have to work it into our into our lifestyle and as I said in the beginning don't bombard the hard thing for me to teach people say to me well how much is too much well I don't know because it depends on your dog it depends on the relationship you should have to know your dog to say right I'm not going to Bar them every five minutes but we have to throw in a little Recall now and again don't throw in a recall once at the end of a walk your dog comes back you put the dog in the lead and you go home you might get away with that one two half a dozen times and then You' taught your dog is when I call you back the part is over pal so one person goes all the way around the predictable route all the way back get my dog a walk come back to the gate be or t come the dog comes on don't go home one day you P come dog goes no cuz let go home time I'm not ready to go home because what you should be doing is call the dog in and say here you go there's your freedom again off you go again for coming back we mix and match we keep the dog thinking all the time what's the bugger going to do next as opposed to I know what you're going to do next because you do the same thing all the time we have to vary what we do so we're a little recall for no apparent reason because we need to be able to give that dog a recall when we do need it some people only recall their dog when they see another dog coming what happens is that you go Tom and the dog comes back you put the dog in a lead probably quite rightly because the other one's in the lead or whatever but the only time they're calling their dog is when another dog comes and they don't want their dog to run up to it in case it gets bitten or attacked or whatever I don't know but all of a sudden what happens is the dog is now connecting the only time you call me back is when a dog comes in the picture and you'll find somebody I've seen it dozens of times come and the dog was going hang on I'm not coming back but must be a dog here somewh okay that's why we have to be unpredictable as humans we're habitual animals and the dog study us and they know what we're going to do before we okay yeah I'll probably B another one to one because I have you know the recall has been a longterm thing with me and I think it is pre-driven related so I'll sort that out so let let's let let's start thinking about we contact me later on and we contact that show okay all right cool okay Paul you're back again you hand up again you have to unmute my friend well you're still talking about you're not unmuted I can't Li read mate all right I got that one bye okay mate okay anybody else anyone stick my hand up and unmute and give me a question I think I've got another page here so I might have to flick over to another page where is it okay maybe not where are we where are we where we okay nobody else thank you very much um if Maria's hand is ready where's Maria where's Maria okay Maria hello can you hear me there your camera's off but that's okay if you're sitting in your jammies doesn't matter so just I can hear you though okay oh minute hello hi there thank you it's really interesting I'm a firsttime dog owner so sorry if it's very basic question not at all um so you mentioned that it's best not to overuse the practice come to come during the training but to do it little and often so what's what's an effective way of doing that what does that look like do you mean do it sporadically throughout the day don't do it more than 10 times a day what I mean I I appreciate your your new to dog ownership and I get that we've all got to start somewhere whatever and these sort of things come second nature to me because oh where have you gone where have you gone there you go um so what sort of dog do you have and how old is your dog how many people are in the home what do you do with the dog um there's two of us myself and my son um I'm the main I I I take care of the dog it's a miniature poodle uh 14 months I've had him since he was eight weeks okay can I ask how old your son is 14 okay so I the reason I asked that Maria is because I consider if you said four then he's not a dog trainer he's just you know he's just a foury old if he's 14 he has a do dog trainer because he's living there and he will be communicating with your dog okay so go back to what we're saying earlier on the every in that home has got an influential part in your dog's training so the reason I asked how many people's in the home is because you're saying how many recalls can I give my dog you might go out shopping and leaving your son at home with a dog and all of a sudden you find he's playing with the dog and giving it recalls we need to really be understanding that every interaction with the dog as as a as a bearing on how they're trained okay so please do make sure that you understand the rules that you're going to put in place the verbal command that you're going to give for for recall we have to look at our dogs um energy levels at the time so your dog was high 14 months like you said was that right yeah 14y old dog 14y old lad and a 14mon old dog okay yeah okay pick your times okay so let's say there's there's a many uh paper's been written called ditch the bow and we give our dogs food for nothing now I give my dog he's bull food for nothing now but in training time we're missing a scope we're missing a an opportunity so people say to me my dog's not food orientated they won't come back for food and I say okay when was the last time yet or just about an hour ago oh no wonder how about missing out his breakfast and taking his breakfast out with them make them work for the breakfast you understand so it's about reading your dogs now your life will vary depending on your work um your family matters when you're eating etc etc so you have to pick your times when you've got got a 5 or 10 minute window to do some concentrated training with your dog okay so but always remember you are training all the time I'm not saying that you have to be doing things all the time but if you're sitting relaxing with your son in the evening watch the tell and you having your son saying what's your dog's name Bonsai Bonsai okay that's cool then Bonsai come you instantly switch on my son is training my dog mhm so if bonai hears and understands that recall and one's ey doesn't come what would you do he always comes perfect what you doing here I'm still learning a lot yeah I'm learning a lot I'm I'm just being funny but so because you've got your dog because youve got Bonsai in the home it's a l distractions nothing else going on we've got a big chance of getting the dogs to do it okay to follow up that recall so your next stage is to go outside and do it one or two and then drop one or two again as the dog grows and matures and becomes more and more engaged with you because you get your your your your relationship right they'll engage with you more all the time without with very little effort from you but in the in the early days we really have to try to bond with that dog so he wants to come back to you there's a big difference in making a dog do something as opposed to building a routine and a relationship with a dog wants to do something something mhm do you know what I mean yeah yes okay cool okay how do I know when the behavior is proofed and ready to move on to the next level of distraction well that that's what I said earlier on Maria you don't move from your uh if you go from your living room to your garden your Garden's still secure for example and you say he comes back in the living room every time brilliant now it's time to go out to the garden and you go to the garden and you say Bonsai come Bonsai come oh bonsai at the pigeon then you're not ready to go to the park yet we've got to get in because one's eyes distracted so you prove the behavior in a low distraction you increase by adding on other distractions which you will get in your garden and then we prove that behavior now he comes back every time in the garden now I'm going to go to the park but I'm going to find myself a little quiet spot quiet area of the park as opposed to the other part of the park where everybody's running about there's lots of dogs there's bikes or all M of stuff okay so that's talking about proving the behavior before you move on is what I meant okay yeah okay thank you thank you okay you're welcome H anybody else at all I'm not sure if there's any hands up if not then cool I will wrap up there thank you very much everybody for coming along as I said
