| Video Discription | Do you tell your dog “no!”, “leave it!”, “stop!”, “argh!” or similar for any unwanted behavior? Teach your dog a Positive Interrupter instead! Follow the step by step training, have some fun with your dog, and you’ll have something you can use for real world situations that can be a game-changer. So, let's teach our positive interrupter which is non-judgmental and engaging. First thing you're going to do, super easy. You're going to get high, high value rewards. Put them in like ideally if you've got a kangaroo pouch or somewhere where the dog, you know, a bait pouch is just so obvious. You're going to have your dog on a leash. So, they're going to be nice and close. And you're going to say the word and immediately drop a cookie in front of the dog. They're going to eat it. You're going to keep moving. So, as they're eating it, they're going to be on a leash. You're not going to jerk them or anything. Wait till they eat it and then they're going to come with. I don't want them snarfling and sniffing because “wit-wit-wit” doesn't mean start sniffing the ground, it means ‘turn and find me fast’. You're going to repeat this until the dog is ready for you to say the “wit-wit-wit-wit” cue. And then what you're going to do is you're going to add some motion. So, it's going to be, give the cue and then turn and run, the dog catches up and then you drop the cookie on the floor. Now here we can hand the dog the cookie as well, but I want you to alternate, sometimes drop it on the floor, sometimes you're going to hand it to the dog. Eventually, if you're doing this like in your living room or your kitchen you can throw it into the corner so you can run across in the opposite direction. Why do I want movement? Because it adds to the reinforcement value. You can stand still, but our dogs love to chase. So eventually, we want to be able to say the “wit-wit-wit” cue without moving at all. We want to move from just saying the word, dropping cookies. That's your first session. Like that's going to be over real quick. And then saying the word, moving away and then handing the dog a cookie or dropping the cookie. And then, for those of you whose dogs tug, we're playing another game. Now, if your dog doesn't tug, don't switch off, don't cross your arms and get a potty face on me because I got something for you. Just be patient okay. So, what I want you to do is I want you to start tugging with your dog. You're going to have your high value treat somewhere where you can grab it really quick. In the midst of tugging, you're going to give your cue “wit-wit-wit-wit-wit-wit-wit”. The dog should disengage from the tug toy. If by chance they don't, you are going to just become limp and stop saying anything. Just wait until the dog disengages. If they don't disengage, then you can just do a collar grab because that should help them go “Oh yeah, collar grab means I'm going to get a cookie.” And then they're going to spit out the toy, you're going to drop the cookie, go back and do more “wit-wit-wit” without a tug. But what the next stage of learning is the dog is doing an activity, maybe an activity they like. You give the positive interrupter, and they learn ‘stop what I'm doing and chase’. ‘Stop what I'm doing and find mama’. ‘Stop what I'm doing and look.’ So, the tug game is just an easy one to get them involved. Now, if you have higher value rewards or tugs that your dog loves, don't go to the highest one at first, go to the lowest one and work your way up so that they're crazy involved with tug. And you give your “wit-wit-wit”, and they drop that tug. They're learning ‘no matter what I'm doing I hear “wit-wit-wit” and I turn, and I come.’ So, for those of you whose dogs don't tug, here's what I want you to do. I want you to take a low value food aka something that they will not eat. A rock. Now if there's a chance your dog is one of those dogs like Tater Salad, if you throw anything he's going to eat first and ask questions later, don't do this with a rock. I want you to throw a block of wood bigger than your dog's head. Okay, so you're going to throw it to get their attention. You're going to say “wit-wit-wit” and go in the opposite direction. Eventually I want you to get to a place where you can roll a piece of kibble on the floor. Your dog goes to get it. You're going to say “wit-wit-wit”, go in the opposite direction and give them a high value reward. You want to get to a place where your dog just hears that noise and “Wow! Something amazing is going to happen.” That's what we want. |
