[Music] welcome to ask a puppy trainer show this is where we answer all of your questions about puppyhood I'm Bethany and I'm Sparky from the puppy Academy we're excited you're here and now let's get to the [Music] show Welcome to askap puppy trainer Show episode 175 we're going to go hopefully Mike working today we'll see you guys let me know if you can't hear me at all I can hear you just might be a little echoey we have Daisy here with us she is on day one of the program so she's kind of actually just starting to come out of her shell she worked with Josh a little bit earlier and uh this is the first time I've ever met her I've had a chance to hold her and when she got on my lap it was kind of fun to see how she grew from what she started that which was very nervous very unsure and look at her she wouldn't even move around she's trying jump off my lap at this point Josh you might be done with me in a second but okay come on in there you go bye Daisy you did very well but it's always very interesting because when she first got on my lap I was actually you know petting her trying to kind of massage into her neck a little bit helping her uh relax and build some comfort she didn't want any of that guys I just eventually stopped doing it I just existed read my paperwork did my own thing and after about 5 seconds she started nuzzling my hand a little bit so I moved it and started kind of massaging her neck a little a little bit and as I did that for a few minutes didn't over pressure her didn't look at her didn't talk to her and try to like love and touch her face 5 minutes of that she was totally open very excited to sit on my lap so this is for our friends who come over to our home our puppies are a little bit skittish little standoffish and they're unsure of these new people ask them to sit on your couch tell them to ignore your puppy for 20 to 30 minutes and when that puppy starts showing them interest and actually is coming up to them that's when they can start reaching out with a hand knuckle first not trying to touch them just kind of put the hand out let them start checking it out and if they jump up on the couch and they try to jump on their lap just tell them to ignore the puppy and let them settle on their own a lot of it is we're putting too much pressure on puppies to love us to want to be cuddled by us they will eventually it just takes a little bit of time and that answers the question that never was a question yes you're welcome I know all right this is from Sunny D i res I rescued a 10-month-old puppy how do I potty train him he won't peer poop on walks just my backyard you need a schedule all right and I wrote down where to find that so you're going to find it in our free master class and the link is in the bio am I still good for sound okay it's a free Master Class our link is in our bio and it kind of opens up a little skeleton for you guys to like basically make your schedule and it has Beth and I talking in the master class explaining what to do for that schedule so that's how you're going to create the schedule itself and now how do I get my dog to stop potting in the backyard so if you constantly let your dog out in the backyard off leash it's probably never going to happen they're always going to be in the backyard and probably just handle their needs there and not in the front yard or not in the front on your or on your walk you actually have to take them out on leash every single time they're done with their crate window and how our schedule works it's crate portion of time potty free time water food crate so you're always getting a crate portion a free time portion usually the free time is about half of what your crate time is as the puppies are growing and they're maturing so what you want to do is every time your puppy comes out of that crate they're on leash right away there's not a second where they're not because if they have to go bad enough they're going to go where they're most comfortable the backyard carry them outside to your front yard set them down on the sidewalk have them pause for a moment just put a little bit of upward so you can't see it upward leash pressure pause not up to where your lips off the ground just enough to kind of make them freeze a bit and after a second or two relax the arm say whatever your release word is we use break you use okay free release whatever you like okay release them onto the grass and then stand on that patch of grass for two to three minutes and they're probably not going to go if I'm I I would put money on the fact they're not going to go they're just going to stay in there confused or Sniff and eat grass and if that's the case bring them off the grass start your walk you're only going to give three opportunities on this entire walk from the go potty I do one beginning of the walk I do one at the halfway point of the walk and I do one at the very end of the Walk especially if I'm conditioning my dog to potty on command and not just go when they want to go on their time like what they're doing in the backyard and let's say you end your whole walk and they have not gone that's okay that's expected back in the crate your puppy's going to go back to the crate for about 15 20 minutes and then you have a choice if you don't have the time to do another walk with your dog and I'm talking probably into the block and back that's about it if you only have time to go outside and spend about 2 to 3 minutes out there then go out there put your puppy on the grass again tell them go potty or just wait for them until they go potty 2 to 3 minutes if they don't go back to the crate rinse and repeat that whole thing again if you have the time this is better because they probably need a little bit of exercise a little bit of movement what happens when we walk in the morning we got a poop it's the same thing for our dogs I walk to the end of the block give one opportunity for potty walk all the way back my final opportunity for potty in front of the house I am very likely on that second or third time to get a potty from my dog but you have to prevent access to the place that they want most otherwise they're just going to wait you out until they get to go that backyard so day one you might do this for 4 to 6 hours just kind of rinse and repeating and then you can give a little bit of free time on leash if you're really just pulling your hair out like 20 30 minutes out of the crate on leash being held by you because the minute they're free they're going to go find a spot to go potty or they're just in the other backyard to go potty so you got to keep them on leash keep next to you and then you can do a little bit of training a little bit of exercise get the body moving separate from the walk itself and maybe you'll have a greater chance of that bowel movement or the potty as well so give it a shot that's a lot this is good Instagram question do we oh I love it all right I like the live questions guys if I answer one of your questions I have someone reading the chat for me and you want to do a follow-up question to my answer throw it back in the chat I'll get it back and forth going this is a two-parter oh okay where's the second part is it up top okay this is part one from Paris Baker that name Smur is that what old students part one I have a five-month-old male staffy when he plays with other dogs he always tries to bite their ears slash neck and tries to jump on them SL stand on them is this normal puppy behavior part two or is he trying to be dominant he does the big small dogs he does it to big and small dog oh he does this to big and small dogs and to females and males is this dominant Behavior how can I correct this yes this is dominant behavior and very likely it's not going to get corrected during play it's actually going to get corrected outside of play during training um your dog probably needs a few more boundaries and maybe you've done a ton of training like I can't discount that I have at least four clients right now that have done puppy C Academy and my private program outside of puppy Academy this is the most well-trained dogs in existence as far as I'm concerned they're probably not but they're probably very well trained they still are very dominant during play so if you don't have the basic obedience Advanced obedience ability to walk your dog and redirect them away from another dog on the walk that they're staring at then they don't play with other dogs until you can do that with your dog and you can get some kind of Leverage with them once you have that and then you start finding a playg group with another dog you actually have to find the right dog you got to find a dog that's not dominant and pushy cuz that's a fight waiting to happen you got to find a dog that is more neutral not submissive not dominant kind of like a middle ground right in the middle cuz what you're looking for is you need to be able to have them play and then recall your dog off of play you need a dog that can engage with him and right when he starts getting a little bit more chest up chest out dominating dog come maybe a Long Leash if you got one boom a little bit of pressure get them to come away from the play and then the other dog could kind of move off to their owner as well or if I'm going to step into play cuz I read dominant not aggressive so I am under the assumption I'm going to go under the assumption for this question that there's not bites with blood there's not holding and tearing and ripping so going off the dominant assumption if you can move in between I see my dog jumping up on my other dog's back I'm moving in from the side hey back up boom my butt is to the camera and it's to the really soft neutral dog and my front is facing my dog my dominant dog and as I'm facing my dominant dog if he goes left I'm moving in moving in honestly I'm a snapper I'm a Clapper I Make Some Noise because I want my dog to know I'm there and I need some kind of interruptor to get my dog's attention so when I'm doing those steps I'm usually hey step in back them up and then when you finally eventually back them up to a point where they back off you don't have an aggressive dog you have a dominant dog who's a little bit reactive or showing some dominance in the wrong place but most time if you can deactivate that dominance you get them far enough away from the situation you get them to focus up and away from that most time you can grab your dog's focus and get them to settle I'll be honest for dominant dogs I sometimes have them drag at leash during play because in that moment where I finally get them away it's really nice to be able to just step on the leash with one foot while your dogs in front of you so when they try to Dart left they get caught on the leash and my body is already blocking them gives you a ton of Leverage I don't recommend really dominant dogs playing without a leash unless they're leash aggressive which is a whole different story and if you just listen to the answer that question you feel extremely extremely overwhelmed which probably a lot of you would be I mean heck I think I would have been 20 years ago when I wasn't a dog trainer hire a dog trainer you want a balanced dog trainer who does use some kind of training tool or has knowledge with play groups and different pack mentality animals so that would be my big focus on that one sorry that was a really long answer I really enjoyed that one Bethany is going to be so jealous she didn't get that one we have more coming into do let me go one more here I'm going to go back and forth guys I'll do one of the send in one of the online questions this is go cuz it's an easy one what's a good treat to give Toy Poodles while training I am currently training a toy poodle right now well actually we just kind of finished she became a DPT service animal and she's excellent at her job we use neutral yeah neutral don't get the cat one it's pure protein that's pure diarrhea it's the squirts you don't want it get the uh neutri Cal for dogs Rick's cringing get the nutral for dogs and then get a toothpaste roller it's like the little one that you just kind of crank and I insert the toothpaste roller roll it up so it's a little bit of pressure on there I open up the cap and I'm literally just doing work where if I'm walking and I'm teaching heel I have food bringing it down and the tube is about that long which is kind of nice for some of our older people who maybe don't want to bend as much with their back to a little toy poodle which by the way guys they weigh about 3 and 1 half 4 lb like 8 lb Max Max and that's probably not even a toy anymore so they're really low to the ground it gives you an extra little bit of spacer for you and and they're really good at following that tube because it's like doggy crack to them so that would be my recommendation neutral I also know a lot of toy poodle owners they have really sensitive stomachs they can't really eat kibble as uh well as other dogs can maybe it's uh the way that they process food um the like when you do your own dog food like you make it I know a lot of people who use their dog food like the one that they make themselves or they buy from a company that does fresh food they use that as their motivating factor for training so it's still using their meal not just using treat this dog did a little bit of both when I when the dog reached about 6 months old we moved away from neutral and went just to her food which is more sustainable CU as they hit about 6 months old they just start gaining weight they don't get taller they don't need as much uh calories so that's why I usually move away from neutral hopefully that helps I'm going to do one more that was supposed to be a short question Sarah sweet celebration 11mon Australian Cattle Dog terrier mix holy smokes so many bad words want to come out of my mouth when I when I read that because that is a combo how would you recommend distancing from them during the day to help with separation anxiety while also fulfilling their needs so he's not destructive he is fairly good when he is home and has started being content in separate rooms that we'll make sure he can see me across the house but if we're anywhere else and he can't I'll stop I don't even you to read another second you need a schedule you need a crate schedule this room business is going to get you a $30,000 Construction Bill now I I promise I would't tell stories God I would't tell the story so bad I had a friend who had a German Shepherd malam mute mix and he left his dog inside the bathroom and the dog went through the foundation of his house and went out the side it cost him $35,000 to repair dogs can go through drywall very quickly easily they can try they can chew through plywood boards like they can go through anything really so I would not recommend doing the room we have given that advice before but not for a dog with the similar issue ex severe separation anxiety it needs a crate and this is going to be a strong dog guys you're probably going to need impact crate you might be able to get away with a um gosh what's the other one uh Timberland uh Timberland crates the uh Timberlin collars or Timberland crates I think uh they might have both products on either either one of the websites but you're looking for either Timberland products for your crate or you're looking for impact crate impact crate are literally steel reinforced plates and four directions with little holes it looks like a prison cell but it's for dogs that quite literally can break out of anything no dog can break out of an impact crate um You probably need that to start because if you get a crate that they can break out of they're going to remember that moment of breaking out of it and every moment past that moment is them trying to break out of crate they can never settle I'm I'm saying never but they will eventually work through it but they can't break out of crates for a portion of time we have to train them around that crate in the crate getting acclimated to the crate training before the crate training after the crate physical exercise 10 to 15 minutes of Fetch with a maybe a one minute pause between each one make sure the dog is fully settled in a down stay able to drop the ball able to calm and settle their body language until eventually you can take the ball and throw it again like these are the things I think about so what how much exercise would that dog actually need Bethany would be better to give you this answer cuz she has had many cattle doogs growing up and she's farm girl so she had cattle doogs legitimately and there working dogs I would say every free time window I'm getting I probably need to do about 3 30 minute walks a day and these are not walks where my dog is doing this pulling in front of me the whole time it's not going to be what they need they need you need walks to where your dog is trying to go ahead and we're redirecting in the other direction using food if my dog can't do that cuz they're too over stimulated I'm working my driveway my backyard my front yard the walkway along the side of my apartment building you all have don't say you don't so there's always somewhere you can work your dog under threshold threshold is The Little Door in their brain that tells them ah we're over stimulated when you work them under that door is still Clos and they're not over stimulated this is the way that you start teaching your dog how to respond to with very minimal distractions as they get better at it as they start following food more you can start going closer to those distractions you hit your threshold that door is wide open they're no longer caring about us or paying attention to Us close close the door go back a bit go under threshold try to work your dog again but let me just reread this make sure I'm not getting off on the tangent we we all know I never do that yeah you need to you need to get it probably into a training program for that breed of dog they need quite a bit of exercise quite a bit of mental stimulation uh three walks a day 30 minutes each one lots of uh mental exercise during those walks and if you can't take the walk outside it's totally fine to do it inside your home just going up and down a hallway teach them how to follow food add sit add down add stay and check out our online program 11 months you're you're kind of right near the end of what our online program can help you with but it's the structure and it's the routines that you need it's not so much the advice from us necessarily except for like little checkins but online program would help you a bit and again free Master Class Link in BIO that's where you're going to find our crate skills just so you can get them on one too all right boom we got anything over here all right this is from Pam Theos hi I got two Labrador puppies currently 17 weeks at the same time okay one of them is really good on the crate the other is really bad in the crate barks incessantly have tried everything please help uh every dog is a little bit different so I usually find that the dog that does better in the crate for labs specifically when I get two of them is I don't know why but there always tends to be one lazier lab and one in energetic crazy lab I I did service animal training for labs strictly for almost seven or eight years so I'm very familiar with puppy labs adult Labs every age of lab every breed of lab you can imagine so I'm going to assume one of those labs is the lazier one one the labs is the more motivated one if your more motivated one is in the crate doing The Barking they probably need more mental stimulation mental not physical that doesn't translate to throwing the ball because throwing the ball for a lab is just neurotic crazy energy unless I get them to come back drop the ball sit and down while I pick it up they don't stand up I can bring it to my chest or behind my back or let it just sit on my side and they're just giving me a calm eye contact look with a relaxed bum maybe not a relaxed bum but maybe just with a calm body at least if I'm not getting that then you're not actually working on the mental end of Fetch and drop you're only working on the physical end of building Drive the more drive you build Drive is um that's husin Bolt fastest man in the world running that's drive that is endurance that is drive your dog is trying to become the fastest dog in the world when he's playing fetch because he's building strength these building endurance so it's not about building endurance it's more about helping them understand how to settle between repetitions they're getting the running which is using the physical energy but even at its lowest it replenishes in like 203 30 minutes dogs are working animals they're meant to chase the cattle for 25 minutes lay down on the back of the tractor go to the next pastor and start chasing the cattle gun okay maybe not the lab but at least uh diving for pearls under the bay so these dogs are working animals you're never going to exhaust them physically it's all about up here the more train you do in combination with physically walking them and physically playing with them fetch drop tug drop that is how you're going to tire out your lab and then now getting them to the crate they're going to be a bit more calm now associate the crate with less negativity if they go into the crate we close it lock it cover it walk away and you're getting a lot of barking I want to think about that Association do they associate the crate with anything positive are they happy to run in there and sitting down and wait for their little treat that they get or am I having to leash them up practically lift up their belly and and steer them like they're a cow going in the pastor if I'm doing all that then that probably means they don't the crate that much so when I bring my dog out of the crate I'm going to get them out for a potty because obviously that's important especially if they're younger do I have an age for these guys did I have an ageek 17 weeks yeah so they're babies so you probably would have to get them out of the crate licky split right away just to get them that potty but now come back inside your your crate room put them back inside the crate close the door and lock it put the leash on them open the door pause let them come out for break put them back in ask him for a sit or just wait for the sit and they eventually will good give them a treat release them with break put them back in sit give a treat release him with break are dogs no crate as a punishment if they only go in there for hours we want to create a more positive associ Association to the crate by helping them understand that there's positive things that happen to them when they're inside the crate so associate food associate good things and don't let them think that every time they go in there they're in there for mult hours cuz the end of these 10 repetitions of in and out I'm going to give the next hour free time to my dogs so they can hang out with us that's how I'd tackle it and she said yes you're correct she's very energetic and food motivated yeah you might inadvertently be uh maybe harnessing some drive that you don't necessarily want um 17 weeks absolutely good candidate for the online program and you don't have to sign up for both dogs you just have to do one program so when you join that Pro oh I think Ricky is turning in her grave right now you're not turning your grave because I said that right okay good you didn't catch that she didn't catch it all right no they only need one program they do right however many dogs they want okay cool yeah just one program even if you have multiple dogs I wasn't sure if that was actually true or not so you could benefit from that program because we'll help you guys build a schedule we'll help you guys get you on routines and these are the three routines you need you need Place pattern in place place in general that's what's going to teach your dogs how to settle eventually and how to use a lot of that big energy in a small enclosed area without having to go outside and Chase the ball for 2 hours that's going to be the biggest one and it's going to teach your puppies how to follow you how to follow you for food how to go into a follower mode in general instead of always trying to adopt a leadership mode and you know rule the house so the whole point of that is that we help them understand that when it comes down to it they're are pets we want to help them have a mutual relationship with us but there has to be a balance to that there has to be a structured schedule they got to understand what their purpose purposes in our home which is to be well-rounded happy family dogs training exercise balance crate time perfect I'm me got five minutes I feel like I'm getting through a lot of questions I'm going to do one over here this is from Huffer 8-month-old Cavapoo is it okay to have toys in crate or should you not have toys eight-month-old dog is old enough hopefully that they wouldn't chew a toy until they swallow it but no I got I got to say no to toys and crate in general period the end mainly because it's an insurance thing for us if I had a single trainer put a a toy in the crate at this facility they'd be fired by the end of the day almost guaranteed because as such a big choking hazard puppies in general 10 month 8mon old still a puppy technically and if you have an energetic Cava some of them are like lazy and they probably wouldn't care about it but if it's an energetic one no all they got to do is get one ear off that stuffy and if it's a blockage they can't get it out you're gone at work for eight hours and come back to bad stuff so no don't do it all right this is from one of our videos this is from puppy problems six-month-old puppy peas went out of crate someone asked what if they only pee in house if they can get to Shaggy rug do they think it's grass honestly yeah probably we had a bath mat when my dog was like 8 months old I know 13 years 12 years ago she was eight months old six months old something like that she kept peeing on my father's bath rug every day same time every morning I was a dog trainer guys like I should know better than this but was learning still so what we ended up doing is we just closed the door preventing access to that room for a long time but what I should have done is I would have referred to my crate schedule and not everyone is using a crate schedule and I know I'm I'm G to say it that's okay there are other Alternatives if I have a dog that's more relaxed I can use my master bathroom overnight while I'm sleeping in bed and my and my puppy sleeping in that master bathroom I can use a play pin if I'm in the same room as my puppy and I don't plan on leaving the room from my puppy the whole thing though is you got to control when and where they go in the morning so even if that means that your dog sleeps outside of a crate on a dog bed at the foot of your bed the foot of your bed is now the side of your bed they're on the dog bed and I have a little leash clipped to their harness Tethered to my nightstand and only having about that much slack so they can't walk 10 ft away and go find a spot to potty and the minute we're waking up we get them off the leash we take them outside we have them go potty in the area that we want them to go in so you guys are still in control of when and where they're going potty if you wake up in the morning and there's already an accident on the little spot by their dog bed cuz they really had to go that's not them being malicious that's not them potting cuz they're frustrated they got to go that's all there is to it uh check your water intake um I'm sure everyone's probably got this memorized who's been to at least two of my shows it's a half2 cup of water for every 30 lbs of body weight every 2 to 3 hours I'll say it again half cup of water for every 30 lb of body weight every 2 to 3 hours which means that if your puppy has a bowl of water with a half cup of water in it and they weigh 15 lbs and they're drinking a majority of it over like 3 hours though they're drinking too much water they're going to have back it's they're filling up too much of their bladder they don't have a large enough bladder to hold it so they're having to go potty a lot sooner you're not actually teaching bladder control they're just going whenever they have to not want to they don't want to pee they don't want to have an acccident they have to cuz they got to go so I would say if I'm doing that check your water intake cut off water 5:30 6 maybe 7:00 p.m. at the latest before bed and this is if you're getting potties in the morning and they're going to that shag rug if they're just going to the shag rug throughout the day get get on some kind of schedule or that puppy needs to have a leash on the harness Tethered to your hip if you're not watching that puppy they're going wherever they want to go that's just all there is to it that's how puppies work how we doing on time I got a couple minutes we started a minute late too all right do you have any other good questions up here we have one that might be similar to that resource guarding one here did I already answer that one no where is it there we go okay all right so this is off of a video that was called how to prevent resource guarding with your puppy the video was about dog food it was about like eating from the bowl people coming near it having guest over whose little kids like kind of walk up and like put their hands in it that's what that video is about but this person is inquiring jinny mat is that how you say I don't know just say yes makes me feel better now okay she said yes all right so Jenny her question comes down to can resource guarding be for actual items yes it can but it has to be for more specific items so like when I think of resource guiding guarding I'm thinking about something that the dog views as a resource that can disappear so it's like a limited resource that can be eliminated and it doesn't come back so for me yes an item could be it but that's going to be too hard to explain I actually just want to explain it this way I find items to possibly a level of reactivity not just resource guarding in the sense that with dog food that's a resource that is limited it's a limited resource that goes away after they eat it but with the sock that's just something that they found so if I go to grab that sock it's not really a resource that's just my dog reacting towards me a lot of times I feel like it's frustration reactivity which means that they have the item and they want it they hold some value in it I go to take it and because the way I'm reaching for it in the dog world a dog comes in to take what's theirs they're going to snarl and snap at them I want everyone to rethink how they approach these situations with their dogs why would you reach into an animal's face to take the thing that they have slaughtered and carried and are are so proud of that's the tissue by the way guys that's torn into four pieces and they took the final piece that are slaughtered prize they are Hunters they're dogs they're Predators they are animals they're Primal and now they're carrying the prize around and if you want to take that prize you're trying to take their trophy approach it differently guys stop trying to take things out a dog's mouth that's what we have leashes for that's what we have redirection for if I got an easy dog that loves food I could probably just pick up my leash kind of move him away from the tissue a little bit just with leash pressure grab a treat puppy come they drop the tissue and then come and I walk 10 15 ft away put them on Place sit down good hey hun can you go grab the that tissue that's in four pieces that's my dog's prize right now person grabs the tissue or I just sweeped it with my foot under something and now I have them on place I'm not going to reward that food yet they're still in the mode of reactivity or if it is a resource resource guarding you need to break them from that mode before you can give me food I need to redirect I need to train I need to work I need to move I need to give value to myself through food and training and movement that super Pro seeds that tissue that my dog wanted so bad when my dog starts giving me eye contact stops looking for that tissue start rewarding you got eye contact now that is the moment I'm looking for is when my dog shows me more gives me more value than the thing that they were guarding against all right was that it 33 look at us all right perfect guys thank you for coming did I have any special things I got to read Beth usually reads them all right
