Noelle, it's not abusive to use a training collar. And the studies you speak of are from pro "treat" positive training people. I study wolves. I am a canine behaviorist who utilizes their behavior to better communicate. I DON'tuse treats becuz that's not their form of communication. You are limited in what you can do with treats, and your dog is interpreting this differently than you. I agree that Cesar at times does questionable techniques, but so do positive treat trainers, and they know it.

Things of this nature make Youtube amazing. They often make me grin. However the majority of regular people are gradually over time KILLING their pet dogs – without spotting it!!! The junk commercial dog food companies put into dog food triggers varieties of cancer and tends to make pet dogs pass away early. I figured that out the tough way when my doggy passed away at 7. If you have a pet dog and you would like to help save its life then do a search for Double Life Dog Diet (Google it.)

DarkTrag, I'm not making sense here because it sounds like I'm going against what I previously said, but also....some dogs work better for food than toys because a high drive Shepherd can be too hectic for a ball. One female I use to own is being trained now, and she is waaaay too hectic for the ball, she will not calm down in obedience for it. Her prey/ball drive is just insane so with a dog like that they are using food and shes doing well. I personally like to train with food.

My German Shep is a very straight fellow. No need to bribe him. I press his butt and tell him to sit and he gets the message after just a few times. I also teach him to jump over reasonably high obstacles by leashing him and running along with him towards the obstacle and he jumps by instinct while I say "jump". After a few times, I'll run beside him, without a lease, and when he reaches the obstacle, he jumps when I say "jump". I never had to bribe him ever.

I don't do show ring. I train for Schutzhund. What do they have to do in the show ring as far as obedience goes? Because Schutzhund involves a lot of different tasks on the obedience routine. Heeling through people, tossing the dumbell, while the dog remains in the stay position and he retrieves it on command jumping over the wall....the list goes on and on. I've done a great job using food with mine, I say do whatever works best lol

YOU DON"T NEED TO BAIT to train a German Shepherd. AFFECTION is the BEST treat that you can give a German Shepherd! And a GERMAN Shepherd also responds BEST to hand-signals... and I being a breeder of GSD I do not agree. EQUAL emphasis should be put on verbal and visual commands! You want a long distance control of your dog! INDEED they are amazing 95% of the time obeying first command given.

That one very poor way of training a dog. That woman is TOO soft. How would she train a real serious, dominant dog ? Just looking at her body posture and movements tell me that she is not confident. It also sounds like she is asking the dog for a favor. She needs a lot more confidence and assertiveness. It's a german shepherd, a serious and intelligent dog, not a toy poodle, after all.

I know my black and gold would be way to hectic to choose to use a ball as a treat for obedience which is why i use only my praise to tell him he has done a good job... but to each there own. i dont know if its the same there but any show ring here will not allow you to use treats of any kinda which is another reason why i choose my love and affection as praise for my two shepherds

@skatesandoval You can train your puppy from the very first day on. Train it like 10 minutes every day. Just make sure it always ends positive and the dog will look forward for the daily training. Always reward after you got the behavier you wanted not like the "expert" in this video. I recommend to use a clicker and to check the videos from tab289

sheeve07 commented on 16 Aug 2008

oh cool. For me I use treats and basically wean the treats off. And by the way the GSD in my video passed away recently. He died from eating a tomato plant, and a lot of people don't know that they're toxic. He passed a day before he turned 9 months. I didn't even know they were toxic at first, and I found quite a few sites about them.

CC Tragiannidis commented on 16 Aug 2008

Sheeve07 all dogs will work without food however it might take longer then normal to train...if one chooses to use treats its up to them but a GOOD trainer shouldnt have too and dont go posting video's when she clearly doesnt know anything about the breed (On another note nice sable in your vid Sheeve)

noelle023 commented on 20 Feb 2009

W163AMG... why don't you look at the recent research on positive reinforcement, and you will find out YOU are wrong. Being rough with your dog and pushing around is archaic. And nothingxbutxpoison... Cesar Milan is NOT a trainer. He even says himself that he is a rehabilitator NOT a trainer.

Chameleon Halo commented on 10 Nov 2008

Sounds like a puppy mill case, a dog that urinates and defecates in an area that they rest in is not good, I would have your dog on a leash and when ever you catch him/her about to go, quickly take them outside. Also take him/her outside after every meal and after he/she wakes up from a nap.

malicho69 commented on 12 Dec 2009

if you get a male you should have a big yard so he can patrol, since that's what males naturally do. females are better for house dogs, and ive heard they're slightly more loyal and defensive of their owner. i have a female and she gets very whiny when someone even hugs me.

TehLoser1 commented on 16 Feb 2009

you know an easier way? slide ur hand down her back and tuck her legs down once u reach her rear never push.. and praise with rubbing or petting so you dont have to rely on treats. it also makes it quicker to train them if u make them sit and down before you feed them.

Maikayeng commented on 07 Jun 2008

True, you can't "break" an ear. But, the puppyies usally go through different phases, like, they will look different like, maybe a different fur color, or the eye color changes. The ears are a thing that perk up and flop down alot. So, I wouldn't be worried.

doable1 commented on 10 Jul 2009

I think because if not done properly the dog isn't getting trained but rather lured into doing something for food. My friend trains K-9 shepherds and uses the ball method as a reward. He swears by it but then he may be biased.

SamuraiUjio commented on 29 Jun 2010

if anything this lady looks more confused then the dog itself, and cause of her confusion the dog losses interest in her. Look how the lady is standing look at her movement all wrong no authortive figure whats so ever.

Rachael Darvill commented on 07 Aug 2008

what the hell?? that was the worst dog trainer ever.. the dog isnt going to sit down if ur like shoving ur groin into its face.. i would run too.. plus the dog already knew how to sit so shes cheating.

chiefjian commented on 15 Sep 2008

halo everyone i own a 6 months old german so is there any formula about not pissing in his own resting area thank you very much ....please without threaten or hittting him thank you again

Cody Dupuis commented on 28 Aug 2009

W163AMG ur 100% right she was way to soft and had no confidence don't worry about that know nothing person who said ur wrong. U can be firm and loving at the same time. Stern then praise.

jesus miranda commented on 16 May 2008

is it true that when they are puppies theyr ears can break ..???plz ..help my pup had both ears up at around 2 months old then over night one ear was down again ..plz tell me ...

Arkiyn commented on 26 Sep 2009

Depends, A female is always more loyal but a little lazy and still more energetic than most dogs. A male has more of a chance to turn on you and something could go wrong.

I discovered early on that my German Shepherd cared little for treats. However, She'll do anything for her red kong. It's important to find out what motivates them.

Cody2HitMan4ever commented on 19 May 2011

1:11 we can think about 2 things 1st she is very good on teaching dogs ( i dont think so ) 2nd the dog already know how to sit ( Bitch ) i will choose the 2nd one
