I like how you used calming signals when you were working with kiko
I would like to add that dogs bark to tell you something is wrong or diffrent “hay boss check this out” or “there is some thing out there” if the big dog is not concerned ignore the little one .he is going over his bosses head for your attention
we are currently clicker training him and at the moment were just getting him use to the fact that ‘ click means treat’, we hope this does help but could you give me any tips/ideas/help ? i’d appreciate it
ps. i have a autistic brother (disabled) and he purely hates the dog, when he gets hot tempered or fustrated , my brother likes to slam doors and when he does my dog starts barking or something in between a bark/growl, is there any way to keep my dog calm an collected around him?
Hi i have a border collie cross lab ( hes more collie then lab)and hes a constant barker and a total looney-tic ,i also feels like he gets abit cocky and bossy. he barks every time the front room door is shut or when people dont open the door for him to follow people,when people go up stairs, when my dad goes out the front door, when people wake up in the morning he can hear you and he starts barking and the orignal stuff that dogs bark at like the hoover,lawn mower etc.
they do they do they do they do they do they do

DOGS NOT FEAR
What about barking at kids that come up to the dogs fence and tease them. We have 8 dachshunds, have asked the kids not to ride up to the fence on their skate boards and just stop and maybe stomp feet to get them to bark and run up and down fence line as they do at them?????
maybe offline can give info like another person you talked about above
the title almost sound like how to teach your dog not to “bite” then bark
hi! can i ask u for information? I’m from italy, I just went on holiday with my 9 months old chihuahua for 2 weeks. before going on holiday he was a very good dog. he barked few times and never barked at dogs. during the holiday instead he started barking at dogs! he barks to “call attention” and if he can go near the dog he starts making friendship (in a good way) with the other dog. can you help me making Pongo stop to bark at other dogs? i’m desperate!
lolz at the dog
Buy a new washer,duh
How would I stop my dog from barking at thunder?
thanks for your great advice,I will try that. I wish I had a trainer like you close by,the one I had was not great and to ruff,I think she made things worse,be aware of who you hire
pet the dog and calm it before the dog comes around . praise it for sitting quietly. When the other dog comes around the corner, continue calm, praise and shoosh it and reward with food whenever it quiets down.
awesome video..
what are you using for treats?
That is very interesting.
But btw. buy yourself another washingmachine. This one is either just abnormal noisy, defective or you are just about to stone wash your new jeans..lol
I’ll try to give you and answer via your youtube accout, becouse otherwise kikopup wil receive all reactions in her mail…
great job,do you have any tips so my dog wont bark at the neighbors dogs?
…
she gets so excited, its incredible. panting like crazy, shaking, circling, barking.
she is a border collie, and im sure its some kind of herding instinct, as she used to circle the kids playing outside my old house, but just cant seem to get her to stop.
i can put her in another room, but letting her back when she is calm does nothing; she does it over again. repeating this action can go on for hours, with no result, other than my legs ache from keep going to the other room and back
ignoring for over an hour just makes the dog worse.
she is worse and worse every day.
i am fairly competent at training dogs (i think so), she is house trained (was housetrtained within 10 days of coming home, actually, at the age of 8 weeks), will walk without a lead, do all the usual, sit, lie down, play dead that all dogs do. she will push the door closed when told to “shut the door”, and many other things.
but this is just crazy now.
she isnt young, and she will have a heart attack soon
Most of the time, this is behaviour we learn a dog. We only don’t know that. If your dog is running around etc., evereybody, also the visitors must ignore him (not even a look in the eye) and push him away if he gets to close or tries nipping. Another idea is to put the dog in a bench BEFORE the guests arrive and ignore him if he barks/etc. Give something to chew on. Only let him out of the bench when he is calmed down and let him sit and stay right next to you.
My dog also used to bark before she would comply to a command. So every time she barked, I left the room where she was and stopped the training without giving a reward. For my dog it took only a few times to stop her from barking. She reacted directly when I gave her a command. But although it is 6 months ago since I have learnt her this, I still leave when she barks before she complys becouse otherwise she could fall back in her old, unwanted behaviour. Good Luck with the training!
I have a sammy puppy, who is quite vocal in general. I’ve started to klicker train him with some success. When trying to shape a behavior, he often starts barking excessively, possibly out of frustration of not knowing what to do. Even when he knows what to do though, he often barks – he always barks when lying down on the down command for example. I have tried rewarding him when he’s silent and obviously not rewarding him when barking, but with meager results. Any ideas on what to do kikopup?
hehe, clever.
good video, too.
have any tips for a dog that is insanely hyperactive when you have visitors over?
my border collie is fine and really chilled when its just me and her at home, but as soon as company appears she turns into a sheepdog (persondog, i suppose); she runs around us, in circles, panting with nerves on edge. she has even taken to nipping people as they try to leave. not hard at all, but like to bring them back in, as collies do with sheep that stray sometimes.
HELP ME!
