Yawning is part of canine body language. Yawning is a calming behavior- a
behavior canines display when feeling anxious or trying to calm themselves
or if they are just generally uncomfortable or unsure of a situation. Other
calming signals that often appear along with yawning are panting, ears
back, whale eye, etc. If a dog "copies" your yawn, it's probably just
reciprocating the calming gesture back to you.
I was about to suggest this, but you did it perfectly. When my dog gets a
little frantic, instead of petting and telling him, "It's ok," (which in
fact can encourage a dog to repeat the behavior since you think it's 'ok')
I just yawn and put my hand on his head. It shows him that I am calm and
that he should be too; it works great.
Uhh dogs can learn to yawn on command very fast that when you look at it ,
yawn, then have any positive reaction when they yawn back. Eye contact for
some dogs has a higher reinforcement value than most people, or terrible
researchers think. This looks like a terrible study that finds nothing, in
my opinion.
When i'm sad or I cry my dog always comes over and sits next to me. It's
really cute other than the fact that i'm crying while she is sitting next
to me.
It's the opposite. If you see a stray dog or one you don't know and it start to growl and be defensive towards you, you should look it straight in the eye, make yourself big, (puff out that chest), make a loud noise and bang your foot or similar. Almost all dogs, will back down. Failing that if it runs at you, kick it between its front two legs hard. Not say you should, as a dog lover and owner, I love dogs, but if some wild dog is running at you, you gotta do what you gotta do.
How to train your dog to "yawn", "smile" and 100 different tricks (capturing a behaviour)
Here I demonstrate how to get some very novel tricks on cue, it's easy to do and the best bit is that your dog makes up some brand new tricks all of its own! go ...
@AmericanPitbulls1 His name`s Alasdair Bunyan, an expert on cattle dogs and
rehabilitates all breeds,,.The "Staff Bull`s jaws were definitely
locked,,people were hitting the animal with poles,,The owner begun pulling
at his dog`s testicles in order for the dog to let go,,it had no effect,the
dog grabbed on harder,.A man stuck a plank of wood in between it`s
jaws,,they unlocked..Murphy,my dog.He went into shock.I had him neutered
last month. I own two Border Collie`s.My plan was to breed them,,.
I taught my puppy to shimmy by capturing the behavior of when she is wet.
She shakes when she is wet, so it looks like she is shimming, so every time
she was wet I would click and treat, but that took a very long time, so I
sped up the process. every time i washed my hands, I would flick the little
bit of water off my hands at her (i know it sounds a little mean, but its
just water), when the water would get on her face, she would shake it off,
i would click and treat, & then i added "shimmy"!
@AmericanPitbulls1 He gets loads of exercise and walked for a few hours per
day.Around two years ago,he was attacked by a staff bull,.The dogs jaw`s
were locked onto his chest for a good ten minutes.The attack had a large
affect on him,.My "schedule can be unpredictable,but,my dog remains
priority.Today,he had a visit from a dog whisperer,the session went really
well,he wants to start going out walks with us in order to rehabilitate
him,he said neutering does nothing for behavioral issues..
@Honeybowtie if I may ask is this "dog whisperer"'s name Vladamir or
something like that and yes it does have a affect and NO DOG BREED ON THE
EARTH HAS LOCKING JAWS yes they can be powerful but most large dogs have a
powerful mouth they did live in the wild in early earth years but I
understand and if he say neutering has no affect it does not unless done at
a early age to prevent this problem cause if you wait they build up
testosterone and if not giving a female to breed with.

@pitbullmaniac11 this is the big problem with this method of training, you
have to keep your eye out for things that your dog often does or you won't
be able to catch it, I get so many messages asking how I trained Holly to
smile, but it's just an expression she makes when she's playing and I
captured it. all I can suggest it that you look out for some other cute
behaviours that your dog does and work on getting those on cue... sorry not
to be of more help :(
I love your videos, and Mabel and Holly are so cute! I adopted an 8 or 9
month old tri-colored border collie from my local shelter last month --
she's very quick with clicker training, and one of the only things I'm
still having trouble with in terms of behavior training is teaching her not
to mouth/herd me and the cat. As soon as I bring out the treats and clicker
she stops the mouthing behavior because she's more interested in the food.
Any suggestions?
@dogglks I'm afraid it's just one of the things she offers in play, I can't
really see how you would tempt a dog to do it if it wasn't something that
they would just offer, she does it a lot when she plays with Mabel too.
This is the frustrating thing about capturing, you won't necessarily get
the trick you choose but you will get the behaviours that your dog offers,
I bet there is something VERY awesome that your dog does that you could
capture :-)
Videos such as this help make Youtube fun. I normally laugh my ass off.
However most people today are incrementally KILLING their dogs! The shit
they use into pet food triggers cancer and tends to make pet dogs die
early. I came to understand the difficult way. My dog passed away at 5. In
order to save your pet's life it's vital to have a look at Double Life Dog
Diet (Try looking in Google.)
@zsianz1 @pitbullmaniac11 Smile can also be taught by holding a treat very
close to their nose and waiting until they "smile," then clicking and
rewarding. For sneeze, you can tickle your dog's nose until they sneeze, or
(ONLY if they're okay with it!) let them smell something spicy. (Don't do
that unless you know it won't bother them.)
This was fun to watch, and got me thinking about what I could capture with
my dogs. I was having a frustrating walk with sadie where all she wanted to
do was sniff, so I put that on cue (she got it right away) and she loves
it! Now she doesn't seem to want to sniff until I say so! Weird! But she
seems happy about the whole thing!
@zsianz1 Haha yeah I noticed that video shortly after but the comment was
there and done so whatever haha. I have taught my cat to "hop" using this
method of training simply by dangling a string out of her paws reach it was
too cute I should make a vid as a response to this okay maybe tomorrow k
bye have a good day.
@Rickyagility oh I know mabs doesn't get in half the videos she should, I
think that Mabel thinks that EVERY video should be all about her! hehe! ah,
the praying was a nice surprise that she offered just today, I was very
pleased with it considering that I was filming a capturing video! haha!
it's like she knew!!!
@tehrenberg tracy you are always so lovely and your comments always make my
day! I put the camera on to film some stuff for the capturing video and she
came up with the praying thing! it's like she knew the kind of video I
wanted! haha! ooooo, I LOVE your latest video! make more tutorials please!!
:D xxx
the smile looks like an aggressive gesture lol! instead, if i had a
guard/big dog ex. rottweiler, german shepherd, pittie, etc, etc, i would
make the cue word "grr" and say "rufus, grr" and he would bare his teeth!!
that wud be enough (i think) to scare away anyone threatning
ita a clicker, its used as a positive reinforcement device, the click
basically means 'you did something like', they then get reinforcementso of
a treat, toy or fuss. They then leanr that the click means yes :D look up
what is clicker training, either on here or google it :D
In my experience it is about getting them invested and interested. It might
take longer but repetition of praise and the offering of treats works for
my dog, I guess if you are worried about being able to find a behaviour you
could take him/her outside and encourage play?
great vid..i love where mabels tongue is hanging out..cute:)) I love
capturing behaviours...it becomes such an addiction...like having your
camera ever ready. Once you start you become more and more aware of offered
behaviours that you can capture...such fun:))
Great video!! =D That "pray" was very cute!!! I think I'm going to try to
capture "Itch" from Jasmine- since she's offering that a lot right now due
to allergies! ;) But then once she gets started, I'll have to start
clicking to capture "STOP itching!!!" lol
Fabulous video Sian!! I love seeing Mabs as the main attraction, she is so
darn cute! So good that you mention to say the cue word whenever they do
the behavior, makes it easy for anyone to capture a fun trick! 'Pray' is
wonderful. xxx
i got ready to practice the technique using upbeat words, no clicker,... so
i looked over at my dog...... and i find myself saying, licking your ass??
he stopped licking his ass cuz he knows the words stop licking your ass
DOG.
My Border Collie`s recently turned into the dog from hell I`m at my wit`s
end with him.He`s being referred to an expert but,in the mean time,If
anyone has tips on preventing Border Collie`s aggression,,please,please
note back!!
@Honeybowtie You probably have not given him enough exercise an not
properly socialized at young age as well as getting him neutered would help
when have you been seeing this problem and what is your and his schedule?
Oh wow i loved this video, All of the tricks were Brilliant! Mabel was so
cute offering the new behavior I loved it, Such a new trick trick! Thanks
for posting Sian helps a lot for training my Border Collie Chase :)
@MultiAnimalcrackers oh I know it's such fun! I think it's a really cool
way to train :) haha mabel has her tongue hanging out the whole time, she
can't keep it in her mouth half the time! haha :-)
Very cute, and very informative as well! A friend of mine trained her cat
like that and I didn't really understand how it worked. You explain it
well! Thanks for the video.
i know someone that does this with horses and she has taught her loads and
she also taught her horse to have it's ear forward most of the time and to
suck her belly in xD
Great video Sian:)! Mabel saying her prayers was too cute:p! Capturing is
one of our favorite ways to teach tricks. Capturing comes in close second
to free shaping:).
