This one's particularly interesting, though, because we have tons of big hyper dogs now, as you know, I love working with hyper dogs But trying to convey to people that a hyper dog is a smart dog, is sometimes challenging That's.

My goal in this class.

It looks like a Boxer Pit mix, so we're thinking, We're gonna teach our dogs to have a look at us by using a hand, signal.

Dogs are heavily responsive to exaggerated body language.

So in the beginning it might look something like look at me, like this, really really exaggerating: We have a nice tight training problem, close eye to eye now.

I, don't know biscuit too.

Well and if you were me you would be a little cautious about going eye to eye with a dog like this, that you didn't know, and Is.

He good with strangers, coming into his area? "He is." "Okay, very good.

Look at me.

Yes, very good.

This work right here, eye to eye I'm gonna hold up the treat Look at me and since I like what he's doing I'm gonna click, because I like that remember the click means "Good.

Dog, I like what you did, you win a prize." Look at me, And I'm, taking my time getting them to treat.

As long as you mark that Behavior with the clicker, to let them know you like it or yes, If you're, not using the clicker, Then, you can take your time getting the treat to them.

The click marks the behavior, not the treat., Most frustrating thing when working with a hyper dog is that they're.

So quick, it is on us to speed up to keep up with them.

We've got to be able to nail the behavior with a clicker, the Instant.

They do it right.

So, in this case, look at me right.

There.

I mean as I was saying.

It.

I had eye contact Right here.

Look at me very engaging you got to keep the rhythm up.

You got to keep the pace, you're gonna have to make sure the moment he does something.

Right, you're there He's a fast-paced train, a dog like this, so you can't be too slow within the next five minutes.

Every dog in here should be able to Leave turkey alone when we put it in front of them, We're going to them how to do it, without force, without pulling them away in any way.

I'm gonna drop it on the ground.

However.

What's.

She gonna do when I drop it on the ground? She's gonna go for it.

Show me a nice loose leash, here, no tension, so I'm gonna drop it But, I'm, not gonna.

Let her get it when she looks away same concept: I'm gonna click, her, and I'm.

Gonna pick up the treat, and I'm gonna, give it to her.

Don't touch this It's.

All it's not so much the words that you're saying.

I think the biggest mistake We make when we're teaching a dog something new is we save words at them, but there's very little heartfelt communication.

Even though she may not know, "What, don't touch.

That" means right now.

She feels my energy She knows what I'm going for, and she's you know.

We've worked a little bit to build some initial communication, "Don't touch this please," I'm, not gonna, make her wait for an eternity right.

Now., I'm gonna pick it up and give it to her.

And.

Then, if she's okay, and no tension on the leash Only, because I know cuz I know that's the instinct, all the more, you should have faith in your communication.

You should trust that your dog really will know what you mean, if you just take a few minutes to communicate with them.

More.

Training is a concept of training where we use a treat to coax our dog into a specific position.

So we're gonna use that nose to our advantage, right here.

So, just like this Good, and we're gonna, say "Sit" as his butt hits the ground.

He already knows.

That.

He know how to lie down on command? Somewhat, but not really.

So we're gonna use the same concept of training here: We're gonna, lure them down.

A big mistake that a lot of people make with.

Oh wow He's, making it he's making me look good here., A big mistake that a lot of people make with this though, is they do this and well alright.

Normally they go fast is what they do.

What you should do.

Is you should let him nibble on it nice and slow.

Now? If they, if they didn't, lie down He's too good.

I need a dog.

That's not listening! Quite that well.

Yep.

Why am I clicking Delilah right, there? She did not lie down, but I clicked anyway.

She's on the right track.

Look.

She's, trying It's it's vital that when our dogs are on the right track, when we're teaching them something new That, we really let him know.

We like that Yes, right, there, that foot came forward, and then let her know I like it.

That's, one more step in the right direction.

Yes, oh I'm gonna reward that cuz.

That was very good.

You see how both of those feet started to move, starting to go into the down Notice the training bubble, nice, and low you're nice and tight.

You see this, so with a new dog again, this provides You're very comfortable if your dog and we're comfortable with her So we're okay with doing it.

The next step is one of those feet is gonna.

Move forward at that moment be ready to click Do.

You know what I'm saying really: good.

I'm good.

I love the kisses.

I love the affection, there.

It's, very genuine It's, very real energy., The more real, the faster your dog learns now.

We've got our attention.

You, never know when you're gonna get it, but now that we have it.

Yes, very good We want to seize that momentum.

Right there, you see what I'm saying? Momentum is a big deal.

We, don't hear a lot about that dog.

Turning because a moment ago, she was like uh, huh I, don't feel like it, but now all of a sudden, those moments go longer and longer.

That's the beginning, That's a sign that you're on the right track.

So I got lucky with a group of people here that seem to really get their dogs And you're, very engaging with them, be engaging with your dogs And.

That's such an impossible thing to really teach and have to come from within, but the more sincere you are with your dog, the more likely they are to respond to you.

This is one of my new favorite classes.

Really, and I love all of my classes.

I promise I do, but it seems like these guys really got.

It.

I saw very little frustration.

Do you prefer working with a high-energy dog or kind of more of a chill, low-key dog? I mean everyone's different I personally, like energetic dogs to work with, but that's me.
