Today
we'll talk about the simple solutions the Commandant behavior and training
problems behavior and training.
I generally split problems or belly problems
in the three types and behavior problems, training problems, temperament
problems, so little word about the three types of problems will be talk about
to open today, behavior problems, training problems, behavior problems are very
simple, predictable, easy to prevent easy to resolve but have a drastic effect
on the dogs and owners lifestyle which will go into training problems generally
don't have too much effect I was a little frustrated jumping up not coming.
When cold
hyperactivity that's in the cell phone just being temporarily deaf things like
this, you can train a dog pretty much any time in his life and so am I will
talk about prevention and the treatment protocols are exactly the same whether
we're adopting a dog who's 10 years old and is not housetrained about the time
anybody destroys the house is the same as you do with the property.
The good news
is with an adult dog the time course is quicker separate property is generally
doing the prevention thing for a couple of months thought to bring about home
from the shelter.
I mean to three days a week. They kinda got it
is very easy to reprogram a dog when he changes what he lives so if you go from
one house into the shelter.
New rules
starting that day you don't messy living space you go P improved with toilet
four times a day.
You only
ate out of chew toys and that we going to do lots offset to greet people
insurance training and stuff like that. Same thing when they're adopted.
It's very
important. The adoptive nose new rules explain them to the dog an adult dog
pretty much nail it into a three days old mean in this house.
You don't pee on the beds when we do it
outside and you cash in your urine for liver traits is good. I can do that.
So the
behavior and training problems. You can retrain any time of the dogs life with
an adult dog.
Generally it's quicker. The few exceptions
that would be the training problems where the dogs had a lot of fun doing it.
And the biggie would be chasing, especially if
it's chasing Adia squirrels and rabbits please and deal with schools got trees
rabbits go down halls.
The dog
is catchable. It's fairly safe, and you can easily go to places where there's
rabbits and squirrels and practice.
I did this with a friend of mine in DC got a
laptop and he said the dogs crazy.
It's crazy and the lost puppy I had about a
cop who died Wednesday 17 I went to see the dollars and no she's not a patch on
by the cup but you just don't remember about a cop that was 18 years ago I said
what's the problem is that squirrels is addressed.
Squirrels run a second pot with schools
everywhere and spent some time I click meet the beast.
You are
now going to learn to pay attention to me when squirrels running around rather
try to avoid them over time.
Okay the
big problem those of the dog is chasing something like dear or hogs or
something like that.
Things that Ron Ron Ron Ron don't stop the
dogs love it's the only time the stall is off today and 1/2 and they come back
exhausted.
So that's
a hard one that I was believe it in. Let's look at problems number one decide
what's common and what's not doing today all the common stuff on, stuff to give
you little exam at the end and I'll give them as common behavior problem there
is and a lot of you probably won't even guess this.
We always
tend to deal with weird stuff that hardly ever happens. So stick with what's
common what's common and what's not.
What's dangerous and what's not, will be
dealing with too much danger stuff the bakers were not dealing with the
temperament problems, pricing, fighting and fearfulness.
Okay, so the only danger is that the dangers
of the dog like it is running off if we don't have off leash control and we
continue letting the dog off leash in dangerous places.
So is it
dangerous or not and then visit difficult to resolve on the prognosis and I'm a
great believer in memory.
Listen to
the owners problem and this is a technique that is utterly my history technique
right up front, I just say one question, what is the dog doing that's upsetting
you.
Because
if you let the owner write it down and then write three pages will be a
question and that they come to you for help.
So you've got to help them think well really
looking for. You know what is the question but also grossly dumb doing that's
upsetting you.
And people talk and do my question and they'll
say well you don't personally as my husband likes adult on the Person but you
coming back and taking Jenny to ballet classes on Thursday was Wednesday
knowing once those are member now anyway.
We sell
this property for sale and that any goes on and on and on and on.
So I
listen. I smile I know I'm engaging saying I'm listening to you. I'm actually
meditating inside it's going and run it out the other because it's unlikely
they will say anything that is of impulsiveness for resolving the problem.
So after
about two minutes. I say what's the dog doing that's upsetting you and the
committee onset he's peeing in the living room.
He chewed
up my new shoes. He barks all night long. I say cool than what would you like
him to do instead.
Where
would you like in the P what would you like them to chew. When would you like
them to Bob about how long would you like about okay so it would behavior
problems with dealing with normal natural and necessary W problems.
Things that dogs do normal, natural and
unnecessary docs have to do these things and when we move away from the old way
of looking at problems someone calling it a problem that a behavior problem.
Well,
interview the dog this subject also digging a Godzilla's generosity about the
sticking problem problem in their own dog is chewing something up or urinating
that I was watching Doon yesterday versus how they met a 13-year-old German
shepherd dog on the boardwalk and they were off leash and they sniffed and peed
and sniffed and peed and sniffed and peed and you could see both of them
getting such joy out of this a Mr.
Reginald
Shepherd came alive like while I found a younger lad.
He's
kinda cool. He's only 10. I like to just sniffing his urine and you could feel
the joy so we can't say no you can't urinate ever again in this town we have to
teach them where to do it because that's not bound by punishment.
And
anyway, even if the punishment works. It's kind of downright because it teaches
the dog something else.
If we
punish the dog for peeing in the living room. We catch many acts we punish him
for chewing the carpet listed on the learn not to the carpet appealing to he's
going to learn.
Don't do
it when the owners that so the owner now has unintentionally created an owner
absent problem much more difficult to resolve.
I hear
tell everybody you know when you see a dog misbehave. Your viewpoint is that's
what it is not for the dog viewpoint your viewpoint. The dog is acting
inappropriately than normal, natural behaviors, but there expressed
inappropriately.
As far as
people are concerned when you see this training opportunity about to happen.
Dog makes a mistake in here only instantly disliked outside outside outside
that one word communicates two things.
The
urgency communicates to squeeze off the sink. The body stop doing number 212
outside cities to be instructive.
The way
which is no dog. I was of the dog catalog loss night shaking hands, the got in
the just shake my head shake.
It can going to teach the dog. I met a lot of
dogs like this little dog here will think what a joke to make a noise that may
look about about you know a dog that doesn't have such a solid temperament may
freak out but what are we teaching the dog.
Nothing
is even when I look back at this whole punishment thing and I mean punishment
in the learning theory, and I thing it doesn't belong there, because even if it
works, which it Dawson. Most of the time it's actually not what we want to do
is it so what is a punishment of punishment is something that causes the
immediately preceding behavior to decrease in frequency i.e.
it works
and if it works, you will have to do it again with overseeing Ali when someone
has a dog on a leash with all sorts of metal colors with spikes in leading a
shock collar just jerking the dog when he is wearing a halter, we see them do
it and do it and do it do it and do it. That's the advertisement.
It ain't
working there fullbacks is the proof is not a punishment, even if it did work
and when you see a really good trainer, yet they can publish very effectively.
One.
Punishment.
That's it. Problem solved. So the point is, will they train the dog if you
train the dog now used it ignoring the problem is to work working on a halter
on leash you know you didn't deal with the problems I have it running away and
chasing squirrels.
All
livestock, even if the punishment works though it's not really what we wanted
to do the number one most of of noxious stimuli that we use in training are
actually not punishments because they don't work in number two, they did work
so we want to do want to reeducate dog so he knows how to express his behavior.
So that's
behavior problems. The training problems are largely that we are teaching the
dog to do something with his ability to sit, lie down rollover come here by my
side and he doesn't do it okay and no reason he doesn't do it is train them to
do it.
In my
view, is if you ever ask about the do something he doesn't. That's because
while training is complete yet, you may understand what you want them to do.
But did you teach them to want to do it.
So the training problems I just collect lack
of compliance mean just about to do something and he doesn't.
How do we
deal with that. I don't think aversive stimuli belong there either. It all
comes down to number one education to make sure the dog understands the meaning
of the word said is what I demonstrated my workshops take the best dog in the
workshop to be a strong champion improved Leona in this room you say, sit
anyone do it people like really simple I do something like say give me a dog's
leash with a lot of obedience dog that freaks me out.
Anyway,
there's a lot of obedience. Dogs are very sensitive shelters protocol is not
online so now strangers holding the leash and a man.
A lot of
them want to good about this layoffs. Leona turned back and close your eyes and
then say rover said if you dog sits outside.
Boy if you don't hear me say boy you know he's
not sitting so repeated to be repeated five times dog doesn't set the undergoes
rover set set rubber six I want is the dog doing is interesting. He's looking
at hub and is going.
This is
not an inattentive dog is like looking at his box thinking. It's amazing the
audience sees this and so I say office.
He said
sit five times about doesn't do it turnaround said he doesn't immediately
sounds. Everyone is this a disobedient dog and they say no because he didn't
take his eyes off the unknown.
Every
time she spoke he reacted. She sang that wonderful friend unit so she turns
around the dog sees her face.
The dog sits immediately, so I would say and
I'll ask everyone to vote on this as the jury is gulping disobedient yes or no.
I maintains the dog's defense lawyer. He
simply doesn't understand Kaman's when you turn your back.
She's
never been trained with your back to those in agreement everyone agrees with
me, including the owner to make the point. Okay if I can show to you and the
safety of this room back when your back is turned, and you just one yacht away
from the dog.
He was
upset to think he would sit if his back was turned at least 40 years of 40
yards away chasing a squirrel to get it that some people go to the shop colors
and he's out-of-control I can show you in this room dog doesn't even understand
the Kaman number one.
Once he
understands the number to motivate them to do it
