|
|

Welcome, lively viewers,
to Animal World:
Our Co-Inhabitants.
On today’s program
we present part two
of our three-part series
featuring renowned
dog trainer
and animal behaviorist
Carolyn Menteith
along with Dogs Trust,
one of the largest and
oldest dog-welfare charities
in the United Kingdom.
In this episode,
Carolyn discusses teaching
our canine companions
their names,
how to sit and lie down,
and how to consistently
come to us when called.
5 TEACH YOUR DOG
THEIR NAME
So to help show you
how to teach your dog
what his name is,
I’ve got Stanley here.
When you’re sitting at home
and your dog’s lying
or sitting quietly and not
paying any attention to you,
what you need to do is
to say his name
really brightly, and if
he turns and looks at you,
throw him the treat.
If he comes to you,
that’s fine as well,
that the reward is
for actually looking at you.
Stanley! Oh, good.
Go. Wow!
If he doesn’t look at you,
don’t repeat his name,
there’s no second chances
on this one.
He just doesn’t get a treat.
Repeat it again
a few minutes later instead.
You want him to
look at you the first time
you say his name.
We’re going
to teach your dog to sit
when you ask him to.
This is a great first exercise
to teach your dog,
because it’s something
he does naturally anyway,
and it’s a start of
good canine manners.
Once you’ve mastered
the 4 simple steps
to training the sit,
then you can teach
anything else.
6 TEACH YOUR DOG
TO SIT
Step 1 Lure Your Dog
So the first thing
we’re going to do is
show the dog
what we want him to do,
that’s the first step.
So we don’t do that
by pushing him
or pulling him,
because that would just
end up being about
who’s the strongest,
and that’s not
what dog training is about.
What we’re going to do is
take a treat, hold it
on the end of his nose,
and we’re going
to lift the treat up
and back over his head.
Figures, round this way!
Good lad!
As his head comes up,
his bottom
has to go down,
and then he gets the treat.
Perfect!
And practice that
lots and lots and lots.
It might take
a few minutes or
it might take a few weeks,
but practice it
until the minute
you lift your hand up,
your dog sits. Good lad!
What a good boy!
Step 2
Make Your Dog Think
So the next thing that
we need to think about
is getting the dog
to use his brain.
I want him to think, “Ah,
so if I put my bottom
on the ground, fantastic!”
So Figures, treat is on
the end of the nose. Yes!
Aren’t you good!
Figgie, Figgie!
Look, look, look!
Good boy!
And you need to
practice this again, lots,
until the minute
you just hold the treat,
your dog sits. Well done!
And this again
you’ve got to practice a lot
until the minute
you take that treat
and hold it,
his bottom goes down.
Step 3 Name the Action
The third step,
you should only move on to
when you’ll be prepared
to bet £100 that
when you take your treat
and wait, your dog will sit.
And so, take your treat,
this minute
you see his bottom
start to go down,
put the word “sitting”
because you want to
link in your dog’s brain
the action of sitting
with the word.
So, Figures, sit! Good boy!
And you get the word in
just as you see your
dog’s bottom going down.
So Figures, sit!
Oh, good lad!
And this is another one
you then need to practice
and practice and practice
before moving on
to step four, which is
the most important part
of dog training.
Step 4
Practice Everywhere
So you practice it
in the garden,
do it in the park,
start off where
there is few distraction,
and then you can build up
to doing it maybe when
there are dogs around
or people around,
so that he knows that
“sit” always means “sit.”
And at this stage,
you can start to reduce
the number of treat
you’re giving your dog
as well.
So Figures, ready?
And sit.
You’re such a good boy!
Okay, let’s go and
practice some sits then.
So get out and
have fun and practice.
Don’t you think so?
I’m going to show you
how to teach your dog
to lie down
when you ask him to.
It’s invaluable
when you take your dog
on vet’s visits or take him
to the groomer’s, and
even more importantly,
it’s the first step
in having a dog
that you can
take anywhere with you.
7 TEACH YOUR DOG
DOWN
So to help me show you
how to teach your dog
to do a down,
I’ve got Mouse here.
Mouse! Hallo, Mouse.
Step 1 Lure Your Dog
So as always with step one,
you lure the dog
into the position
that you want,
starting from a sit,
and then bring your hands
straight down,
and the dog’s nose
will follow,
and he should lie down.
Let him have the treat
the minute that he does.
Now don’t get tempted
to push your dog.
If you use your hands
to push, your dog
will start to resist you,
or if you’ve got a really
happy dog like this,
he’ll get all wiggly,
giggly about it and
lose his concentration.
So just use
the treat, lure him down.
Fantastic!
Don’t take your hand
forward.
If you take your hand
forward
when you’re doing it,
the dog will just stand up
and walk off.
Step 2
Make Your Dog Think
So after you practice that
a lot, you can move on
to step two,
which is to get the dog
to use his brain.
So take your treat,
just hold it in your hands
and show the dog
you’ve got it and wait,
and wait for long enough
that he sort of thinks,
“Now, what was it
that she wanted?
Oh, it was that
like lying down thing!”
Yeah. Good boy!
And practice this until
you can just take the treat
and he’ll lie down
straight away.
Be really quick to give him
the treat the minute
that he lies down.
You’re rewarding him
for lying down
not getting back up again.
So, got the treat,
“What do I do for it?”
Oh! Good.
Step 3 Name the Action
So when you are
completely convinced
that when you take the treat
that the dog will
lie down, it’s time
to put the cue word in
to link it to the behavior.
So take the treat, hold it
and as the dog starts
to lie down –
“Down, good boy” –
say the word
and then reward him.
Step 4 Practice Everywhere
I’m going to teach you
how to train your dog
to come back
when you call him.
This is
the most important thing
you will ever
teach your dog to do.
If your dog will come back
when he is called,
you can let him off lead
and he can have
all the exercise and fun
that he needs.
Most importantly,
you can keep him safe
from roads
or any other dangers.
8 TEACH YOUR DOG
RECALL
You’re going to find it
really useful to use
the six-foot training lead.
It’s long enough that you
can get a good distance
away from your dog,
but still keep him safe
because he is on lead.
One clip goes on
to your dog’s collar,
and you can either
hold the other end
or clip that onto your belt
so that your dog’s secure
and you’ve got
both hands free.
So, to help me show you
how to teach your dog
to come back
when you call him,
I’ve got David.
Hi, David. Look at you!
Step 1 Lure Your Dog
The first step as always is
to show the dog
what you want him to do
and lure him with the treat.
Put it
on the end of his nose
and you’re going
to walk backwards,
so you’re teaching him
that he should follow you.
So, “David, David, Dave,
Dave, Dave, Dave….
Good boy!”
And give him the treat
when you stop.
So practice this a lot,
until your dog really knows
that he should be
following you
when you go backwards.
Step 2
Make Your Dog Think
And step two as always is
getting the dog
to offer the behavior
without the treat,
and then the treat comes
as the reward.
So, “David!
Look, I’ve got a treat!”
So going backwards
as before.
“David, David, Dave,
Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave,
Dave, David!”
And then rewarding him
at the end.
Be really up and positive,
be fun for your dog
to follow.
Step 3 Name the Action
Once you’ve
practiced that a lot
and your dog follows you
every single time,
it’s time to move on
to step three, which is
putting the name to
what you’ve just taught.
So you can use “come”
or “here,”
whichever word you like.
So the first thing you do
is use your dog’s name as
you taught him earlier on
to get his attention.
If a dog’s not looking
at you, he is not listening.
After you said his name,
encourage him
to come to you
as you did before,
and as he starts to move,
put that word in, so that
he links coming to you
with that word.
So it’s always name first
and then the command.
So, “David, David, come!
Good boy! Good lad!”
And then reward him
when he gets to the end.
Step 4
Practice Everywhere
So after you’ve
practiced that so often
that your dog knows
to come to you
when he is on the lead,
it’s time
to take him off lead.
Make sure you’re
in a really secure space
that’s safe.
And now the thing is
make sure your dog’s
focused on you and
paying attention to you.
