thorough guide on raising and teaching ,
your new dog pick up a copy of my ,
best-selling book - that link will also ,
be below I'm gonna take some of your ,
questions from my facebook page today ,
this first question comes from Jessica ,
Jessica says my mom's rescue dog reacts ,
to people coming over or even knocking ,
on the front door now my mom has worked ,
with other trainers before but nothing ,
seems to work she's not great with ,
follow-through but she's had you know of ,
course look it's really natural for dogs ,
to bark when something alerts them ,
outside this is one of the reasons so ,
many of us even get a dog in the first ,
place dogs are uniquely aware of their ,
surroundings and ways that we can't be ,
so there's a lot of benefit to our dogs ,
alerting us when something is happening ,
outside for example I think many of us ,
can agree that in moderation this is ,
actually a pretty desirable trait in our ,
dogs but of course excessive barking can ,
get really out of hand and Jessica I'm ,
glad that your mom has sought the help ,
of professional trainers but I should ,
say often when we hire a trainer we we ,
tend to expect them to either resolve ,
these issues quickly or tell us how to ,
quickly resolve these issues but hiring ,
dog trainers isn't exactly like hiring a ,
contractor to repair your house you ,
really do have to commit to working with ,
your dog over an extended period of time ,
no quick fixes see the really true ,
teaching must come from you the person ,
who is most committed to your dog to me ,
it sounds like the main thing that your ,
mom is missing and many of you out there ,
watching this is that you're probably ,
not setting up those surprise primary ,
training sessions that I'm often showing ,
you how to do in my videos those are so ,
beneficial because you as ,
the trainer know that a distraction is ,
about to happen and you're in that ,
really patient mindset I'm gonna have a ,
link in the description of this video to ,
show you exactly how to set up this type ,
of training session or this exact issue ,
so check the description for that okay ,
question number 2 comes from Stephanie ,
Stephanie says I take my eight-week old ,
dog outside for 15 to 20 minutes he pees ,
and poops but then as soon as we bring ,
him back inside he pees on the floor - I ,
can't tell you how common this question ,
is especially with really young dogs ,
it's really easy to underestimate how ,
vigilant and proactive you need to be ,
for the first year of potty training ,
particularly with young puppies you ,
really need to take them outside at ,
least once an hour and even more often ,
than that if you're having issues like ,
you described when your dog is inside ,
they need to be under complete control ,
by you having them on leash is ,
recommended that way it's not easy for ,
them to sneak away and have an accident ,
see if you attach the leash to your belt ,
loop or something like that while you're ,
inside you are far more likely to detect ,
when your dog is anxious to go outside ,
or is about to go potty ,
it's 100% your responsibility to let ,
your dog outside so it's important not ,
to rely on your puppy especially young ,
puppy to let you know when they have to ,
go outside as your dog gets in the habit ,
of going outside you should start to see ,
fewer and fewer accidents it's normal ,
for this to be a gradual thing - as the ,
habit of going outside becomes more and ,
more established your dogs should start ,
to get traction on this issue so look ,
for slow gradual progress rather than ,
just expecting it to be resolved all at ,
one time ,
Bitsey has detected turkey in my pocket ,
our next question comes from Nancy and ,
she wants to know how do you teach your ,
dog to remain calm or calm down when ,
they're overexcited our eight month old ,
english sheepdog thinks everyone wants ,
to meet her and will go crazy to get to ,
someone dogs can be really social and ,
most of them seem to really love people ,
I actually love dogs like this all the ,
behaviors are describing aren't exactly ,
good manners and we certainly would like ,
our dog to perform better than that a ,
happy excited dog is about the most ,
endearing thing on the planet however I ,
definitely understand the need to get ,
your dog under control and listen to you ,
better in general you'll really want to ,
prioritize doing lots of different ,
impulse control exercises now that's no ,
small feat with a real ,
energetic dog teaching your dog how to ,
override their desire to interact with ,
and play with different people and dogs ,
takes a lot of work bottom line though ,
let me give you an overview as to how to ,
resolve this the first thing I recommend ,
is making sure that you're exercising ,
them early in the day so that your dog ,
can first experience what it's like to ,
feel fatigued thereby making them less ,
likely to go nuts do lots of impulse ,
control exercises like teaching your dog ,
to sit and stay while you gradually ,
introduce greater and greater ,
distractions as we frequently do on my ,
You Tube channel and when your dog is ,
fatigued like this give them plenty of ,
opportunities to meet people so that you ,
can start to rack up those experiences ,
if your dog interacting with people ,
while they're behaving acceptable and so ,
the more that you do this the more ,
likely it is that your dog will come to ,
accept people as normal and it won't be ,
such a special occasion for them to ,
interact with someone new this is a ,
really good question this comes from ,
Karissa and krisis says how does one ,
reintroduce their dog to new dogs as ,
well as build up their confidence my ,
service dog was mauled and survived by ,
my neighbor's dog needless to say he is ,
terrified of unfamiliar dogs now ,
resolving issues like this varies ,
tremendously from dog to dog and dogs ,
react to traumatic events in different ,
ways some might forget about it and move ,
on quickly others may be more cautious ,
in the future and still others might be ,
scared for a much longer period of time ,
my approach on issues like this as ,
always to let the dog progress on their ,
own terms and not to rush things ,
sometimes this might mean catching your ,
dog being in a relaxed frame of mind and ,
rewarding them to provide that positive ,
outcome when they're around other dogs ,
even if those other dogs are many meters ,
away for example you might also want to ,
seek out dogs that are extremely likely ,
to react well to your dog and you can do ,
this by asking people how is your dog ,
likely to react to my dog or you might ,
have friends or family that have dogs ,
that are very docile see the more ,
experience your dog gets that are ,
positive around other dogs the more ,
likely they are to then become more ,
accepting of dogs in general but look ,
there's no way to rush this it's ,
important for you to progress at a rate ,
that your dog is comfortable with that's ,
