They are listening to my feet. Watch this. Dog Training by Kikopup 2024-01-07 |  Dogs are extremely intelligent and so amazing at reading our body language, as well as the sounds we make like our foot movements. We don’t need to always use verbal communication, in this example on a walk, where I am walking on a road where cars can suddenly appear. I keep my dogs closer than when we walk on a trail with no cars. You can see how they can easily understand I’m stopping by the sound of my feet.  I am over exaggerating the footsteps so you can hear them on the video. This behavior was trained using positive reinforcement training. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #professionaldogtraining.

Tips for Barrier Aggression and Frustration for Dog Trainers Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-12-05 | Barrier aggression or frustration can occur in many situations, such as when the dog is behind a fence, in a crate or car, being restrained on a leash or held, but also in situations where the dog’s freedom of movement is reduced, for example being crowded by dogs at a park or even being petted while another dog or person approaches. In this video I give tips for trainers working on these cases on using counter conditioning and desensitization to train dogs to have a positive emotional response to the barrier or restraint as well as teach them a specific behavior to do in these situations that becomes stronger and more reliable than their previous behaviors. These techniques will help reduce the undue stress in both the dogs as well as their guardians lives.

Is PAIN NEEDED to TRAIN A DOG coping skills or is EVERYDAY stress and pain ENOUGH? Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-11-13 | This is my own personal opinion based on my education and experiences I've had as a dog trainer who doesn't intentionally use any forms of physical or psychological intimidation to train dogs, over the last 18 years of training my own dogs, clients dogs and other trainers dogs, as well as traveling around the world meeting trainers who train like me in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. In no way am I trying to discredit anyone else's opinions. I am simply giving my own honest opinion regarding this idea that has been around for over 20 years- that you have to use pain in training to teach dogs to be resilient and cope with stress. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #professionaldogtraining

Leash Pressure trained with +R EXPLAINED - Professional Dog Training Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-11-05 | Firstly, Different trainers condition and use leash pressure in different ways. Some compulsion trainers will condition the leash pressure to become a conditioned punisher that will stop a dog doing something or make them less likely to do it in the future. While a lot of trainers like myself specifically condition leash pressure to become a cue like a recall trained with positive reinforcement, to mean, come back and stay with the owner. But because most dogs without any initial training find being touched by the leash when they pull aversive, the trainer first has to use counter conditioning to change the dog’s emotional response to the feeling of the pressure to be a positive one, before then conditioning it to be a cue to return to owner. The difference in this training means that when the dog does hit the end of the leash or the owner shortens the leash, the leash pressure will not act as a conditioned punisher making whatever the dog was doing less likely to happen. So with positive reinforcement training, the trainer will then have to reinforce the behavior they DO want the dog to do, otherwise they will get a dog constantly hitting the end of the leash for treats. So to do this while training the leash pressure exercise you will see the trainer, marking and reinforcing for the dog staying next to them as the behavior they do want the dog to do around distractions. Things are not intrinsically reinforcing or punishing. You can turn food and petting into a punisher and something like putting on a leash and harness or even pulling on one into a reinforcer. Over time and in different situations the values change and a punisher can change into a reinforcer and vise versa. So the trainers and owners need to be good at reading their dogs body language and taking note of their dogs behavior rather than just assuming something is a punisher or a reinforcer. Over time a dog could regress to start to find the leash pressure aversive and so more conditioning would be necessary. In the same way a dog might start to not enjoy being groomed the steps need to be broken up and worked on where the dog is having a positive emotional response during the session.

Expert dog trainer tip for EYE CONTACT with DURATION Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-10-26 | Expert trainer tip - This tip is about using a calm marker when increasing duration without frustration for eye contact when initially training it to puppies or adult dogs who are quickly looking back at your hands when you click or move your hands. Basically, you can teach your dog a Calm marker by always using it in the situation, where your dog is calm, and following the marker with a slow com, treat delivery rather than something like a fast treat. It’s great for things like working on the settle, handling and grooming. #positivetraining #positivereinforcementtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining #puppytraining

LEAP FROG with Border Collies Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-09-06 | Slow motion shot of Wish and Halo the border collies doing leap frog. Wish the darker dog is actually a dog who had a very difficult time with being touched by people and dogs. As a puppy and as an adult, she just doesn't like to be touched by dogs. I've worked on it extensively. And I've even used tricks to work on it. It blows my mind that she wants to be sandwiched between dogs to do double dog heelwork and this trick. I would've never dreamed she would enjoy it. After halo jumps over wish, you can see her face, a conditioned positive emotional response to being jumped over.Getting these faces exuding trust and joy are what I live for. Training without physical or psychological intimidation is such a magical thing. When the dogs are choosing to work with you and your carefully planning so they are enjoying every minute of it.#positivereinforcementtraining #positivevibes dogtraining #bordercollie #dogtricks

One of Wish’s favorite games #dogtraining #dogtrainer #bordercollie Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-09-03 | My border collie wish used to be anxious in the car from time to time if we went to new locations. She could tell as soon as we left the areas she knew, that we were somewhere new. Even if she wasn’t looking out the window. I am pretty good at teaching dogs to be calm, but wish was really stressing out from time to time in the car. One day I just decided to ask her if she wanted to howl and she really enjoyed it and immediately settled afterwards. So now, from time to time I ask her questions while we’re driving. Usually if she’s in the back, but this time she was in the front, so I got to film it. I saw some viral video where a guy tells his dog he’s going on a road trip, and then says woo hoo, and wish loves that game. It settles her right down and gets her in a positive state of mind.Has anyone else had experience with asking their dog to howl and it helping them relax?Ps, my dogs are usually in crates in the car but For some reason my back of my van was not opening.Dog training behavior modification anxiety stress

position changes front feet static - dog training Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-08-07 | Here I am teaching wish obedience positions with the front feet static. She knows the back feet static position changes. The way that I think is the easiest to train, is choosing the correct nonslip platform. This is an exercise platform for humans I got on Amazon for super cheap and it’s got Velcro on the bottom to keep it stuck to the carpet. You could have one for the back feet as well. But when they are learning to jump back, I don’t suggest it be very tall, and I don’t suggest it be the type of object that could hurt them if they bumped into it. The front pad should be wide enough for the dog to sit on comfortably, and long enough for the dog, to put their elbow down on with their front foot at the edge of it. The way that I teach down from a tucked sit is by asking the dog to back up, marking the movement of jumping back and then asking them to go in the down. Getting the position of stand from a tucked sit first. Then combining the cues when the dog has a beautiful movement. I would add a new cue soon with Wish because she got it very quickly. You don’t need to press on your dogs back, or push into them, put a noose on their abdomen or jerk on their neck, use a stern voice or shout at them to get them to have beautifully precise and reliable position changes. You can achieve amazing precision with +r and the behaviors are easier to be conditioned as secondary reinforcers than if you mix in punishment and intimidation. #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainer #professionaldogtraining #positivereinforcementtraining #positivetraining #bordercollie
DOWN to SIT - Kikopup expert tip for PRECISION Dog Training by Kikopup 2023-08-01 | Exquisitely PRECISE beautiful movement for obedience positions of down to sit to down without using any NRMs. The wonderful thing about not using any forms of intimidation and punishment, when training behaviors is that the cues become secondary reinforcers and aren't watered down in value by punishers which then means you have to relay on the punishers in the future. Without adding in punishment the behaviors create a strongly conditioned positive emotional response in the learner - where you see joy and confidence without anxiety of getting it wrong. #dogtraining #dogobedience #professionaldogtraining #professionaldogtrainer #bordercollie #obedience #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice
