Exactly!

Hi Oliver! I personally use a 3.0 for Mals because I like the strength it offers. Many people do use a 2.25 and like it, but I worry about a link bending if the dog is intense or drivey. I would avoid the 3.2 since it doesn’t tend to work as well and doesn’t add any advantage over the 3.0.

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining Thank you very much for responding and again congratulations on the content. 🙏😉👍

That is a great question Mary! If you are crating them in separate rooms, training then together and separate and doing one on one socializing trips then you are off to a great start! I wouldn't worry about how much time they spend together during the day playing or laying around together. The hard work you are doing ensures they are able to function separately and no amount of play time during the day will ruin that. Please reach out with any additional questions!

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining I can't thank you enough for your response! I truly appreciate it!

Absolutely! Please feel free to reach out with questions any time!

UA-cam training videos are definitely helping a lot of people and a lot of dogs! It is great to be able to deliver free training advice to people anywhere in the world!

The collar riding high on the neck is ideal, but like you have noticed it rarely stays there. The main thing is to just fit the collar snugly so that it doesn't sit extremely low.

I usually use a 3.0 on a Husky because it tends to work better with the long fur. That being said, a 2.25 will certainly work and there is nothing wrong with using that size.

That's a great question! We generally use place as a separate command than kennel/crate, but there is not reason it has to be that way. You could definitely teach your dog to walk into their crate and lay down and wait when you tell them place.

I would have the Yorkie drag a leash around the house and just pick it up and give a quick leash correction with a verbal "no" when she humps the puppy or is to pushy. How does your Yorkie do when walking on a leash?

Hi Michele! There may be some prep work that needs done first. Does your dog walk calmly on leash around distractions?

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining Yes. He listens and responds well except when greeting new people or seeing other animals.

@@michelepeters6531 I would do some work on proofing the heel command when walking by other people even away from the home. Really focus on mastering the left and right turns around people in public. Then when you try this at home it will be a lot easier. Here is a video with a lab that is pretty wild and jumpy on leash. It shows how we acclimated to a new collar and then started the heel turns. ua-cam.com/video/DdeHrc4pCmA/v-deo.html Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining Wow! Thank you so much for the suggestions. I really appreciate your help!

Its about a very quick press of the button. Probably a third of a second. If that doesn't work a little longer is absolutely fine though.

😁

Great question! We often practice having them eat very close to our feet to make sure they are comfortable eating while that close to a human.

Hi Michele! Here is a video we recently did with a young dog who is new to training. ua-cam.com/video/TH6ZO0LV7Gc/v-deo.html

Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!!!

That is a great point Heather!

Definitely a 2.25!

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining Thanks for your quick response!!

Absolutely! Feel free to reach out with questions anytime!

Sorry to hear what you are going through! Was this the first time the two older dogs fought or have they been in a fight before?

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining they have been in fights b4 buts its mostly like a bark off when they both see each other eating out of their food bowls I'm guessing they don't like that or they're being territorial too their food so I feed them in different rooms but since the puppy they've been aggressive around each other

@@Whodatskitray Sorry for the late response. For some reason I didn't get notified of your response! Resource guarding can apply to anything from food, toys, bones, beds or even other dogs. It sounds like your dog is guarding/claiming the puppy just like the adult dogs do to each other with their food. I would practice a lot of leash training and make sure that your dogs can heel perfectly even around distractions. Then I would practice heeling the female dog while another dog plays with the puppy. This will take work but it will help her accept the other dogs playing with the pup. I hope this makes sense and please reach out with questions!

Having the basics before starting off leash come is definitely important. It helps get your dog calmer and more respectful and reduces the likelihood of your dog running away or ignoring you. Reach out with questions any time!

Absolutely! We have used this method for years and it works well and is fun for the dog and owner when done right. Will you be using the vibration function as well? If so, I prefer to start with that. I'll link a video below. What's kinda crazy is that many dogs get scared by the vibration because they don't know its supposed to be a good thing. We use a lot of treats during the first session with vibration to ensure they know vibration=come not vibration=you are in trouble. ua-cam.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/v-deo.html

Agreed John! Practice is definitely essential. If you watch someone put one on it seems like the easiest thing in the world until you try on your own that first time 😁.

Absolutely! Here is a newer video we did on how to start loose leash walking with a young pup. ua-cam.com/video/XyKXuO5_HBo/v-deo.html Feel free to reach out with questions anytime!

Another great technique is going for long leash walks. This helps build trust and eliminate excitement which will make the intro easier. It also helps to do the intro away from the house. A lot of older dogs are more accepting of new puppies away from their home.

@@SuburbanK9DogTrainingthank you i will try that too

Funny enough Steve that is on our list! We often have clients practice an e collar on us to ensure they know how to operate it and understand the timing. We are going to shoot a video showing that process.

That is a great question! We recently did a podcast episode on how to handle fear. It should help you out a lot! Here is a link to our Spotify page. open.spotify.com/show/0u4lIDhvmK17EBbp7VfXZ5 It is also on Apple Podcasts!

I’m so sorry to hear that Katherine😔 You can definitely help her though! I would suggest watching our video on acclimation to vibration. Take it slow and use lots of treats the first couple sessions. Your goal won’t be to “train” her. Your goal will be to show her that the vibration is a good thing and means “come”. Then you can add the stim back in later the way we show in this video. Finding her working level is important so that you never over correct. Let us know what questions you have once you get started!

He is an Australian Labradoodle.

Great question! I wouldn’t worry at all about which sex you get first. I would just work hard to find a puppy with the right temperament for you. If you get two I would definitely watch our full length Littermate videos. This can arise even if they are a few months apart. Luckily prevention is free and most of it is very fun!

Great question! With multi dog households we start with one dog at a time until they are doing well. Then we try two dogs at a time and then three etc. You will probably find one or two dogs will be a challenge and the rest will probably be pretty easy. Reach out with any questions once you get started!

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining already started last night with 2 (2 yo Doberman and 6 mo English pointer). Still have a basset and bloodhound to work with but the first are making progress!

😀😀😀

It sounds too good to be true, but go for long walks together. This helps build trust and reduce excitement. Those are the two things that cause the most fights. The third is guarding a resource. Walk for as long as you need to and then let them meet each other away from the house. If that goes well do some play sessions on neutral ground. After a few play sessions try again at the home but play close attention because your dog may guard her bed, her bowl, her toys etc. I hope this helps!!!

@SuburbanK9DogTraining thank you I will try it. I really want them to get a long since I will be dog sitting a lot.

What do you mean by 6-8 minutes? Sounds like your dog found a good home!!!

@SuburbanK9DogTraining Sorry, I just meant that the usual video is quite short, and you have to balance imparting information with producing the video. Showing a dog going from completely untrained to perfect canine citizen would have been time intensive and really not helped impart the information any better than using Wallen. As for the perfect home, we like to think so! Your training methods are simple and clear-cut, and they're not only working, but they're also helping us bond. She's still not quite sure we're her new people, and training has helped her feel, I think, more secure. She still plays the game, but we're working on it, and she's come a long way. So, thank you for your videos. They've been really good for both ends of the leash.

Ah! That makes sense! We definitely struggle with the “ideal” video length. Too long and it gets boring and too short and people don’t get enough information from it. Our goal is to create a series for each command showing dogs at different training levels. That way everyone has access to a video that works for them. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment and feel free to reach out with questions any time!!!

I believe she is around 4 years old.

Absolutely!!! We tell all of our clients that if you have a guarding breed, you need to KNOW guarding breeds. They were certainly bred for a purpose. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!

You should probably watch the whole video before posting a snarky comment. 😊

He did a twenty foot recall.

You can definitely use an e collar for reactivity, but we prefer to make a lot of progress on the heel command first with a traditional collar. Really focus on mastering the left and right turn. This ensures your dog truly knows heel before layering in the e collar. When people start the e collar too quickly it is sometimes used a little too heavily because the dog doesn’t know the expectations yet. If you need any guidance on the turns check out our video on Stopping Leash Pulling. Reach out with any questions!

@@SuburbanK9DogTraining thank you so much for your advice

How do you teach dogs to not steal food from tables?

Great questions Sara! Don't worry that they are already 16 weeks, you just have to play the cards you are dealt. Work really hard on socializing from this point forward and you can still raise well adjusted dogs. It might just take a little more work. At their age, barking at and chasing the cat is fairly common and probably isn't indicative of aggression. I would do a lot of leash training with the dogs and then use "heel" as a calming technique. Once they can heel perfectly you can practice heeling them in the house around the cat to teach them to be calm around it. Once that goes well you can practice your other commands around the cat. Here is a video on how to start the heel command, how to master the turns and how to stop leash pulling. Let us know what questions you have after watching it! ua-cam.com/video/DdeHrc4pCmA/v-deo.html

An e collar can be a great option! When it is done properly it is not stressful for the dog and is a fun process. Here are two videos that will show you everything you need to know about how to train your dog on one. The first video shows how to acclimate to vibration. The vibration is meant to be a good thing (we pair it with "come"). That being said, many dogs are nervous when they first feel the vibration. We generally use food during this process just to make sure the dog knows the vibration is a good thing. In the second video we show how to acclimate to the stim function. This is meant to be a correction for when the dog messes up. We don't use any treats in this video and rarely use them for this part of the process. Reach out with any questions after you check these out! ua-cam.com/video/1xnBM47shVA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/fNt0h6hiDQo/v-deo.html

It sounds like your dogs were lucky to find a great home! I am glad you never experienced littermate syndrome with them. Having more dogs in the house can definitely help if the dogs spend a lot of time playing with a dog besides their littermate. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
