This kid is obsessed with dogs and puppies. When I train dogs, she watches me like a Hawk. The way it is going, she will be a future trainer. #doglover #holsingergermanshepherds #agirlandherdog #positivereinforcement #dogtraining #dogtrainingadvice #germanshepherdlovers #
Another Sneak peak! Another happy customer. Exactly 9 week old puppy today. I always do chunking and reward for approximation. In this video, my termination marker is yes, he does know the clicker as well. We are outside working with distractions. This is the first time he is off a leash while heeling. He is only going to get better and better. I created high hope for this puppy. That is why he likes to work. It is turning into a game for him. PS! This puppy does know tactile commands and a lot more. NEVER TO YOUNG TO START TRAINING! FAIR TRAING THAT IS! FIND THAT SWEET SPOT IS KEY! NOT TO HARD! NOT TO EASY! #holsingergermanshepherds #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining #obedience #DogTraining101 #positivereinforcement #germanshepherdlovers #dogtrainingtips #dogbreeder #germanshepherdpuppy #talent #puppy #sweetpuppy #ericholsinger #puppylife #akc #akcregistered #akcgermanshepherd

Frita doing some obedience training today. I taught her by free shaping these behaviors. I rewarding for small intentions to get her to do. #positivereinforcement #positiveenergy #positivereinforcementtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #doglover #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #germanshepherdpuppy #germanshepherd #germanshepherdlovers #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining101 #obedience #obediencetraining
New puppy Aria and I come out of the Skinner room. She discovers a klack klack on the ground. Shaping games start for me when clicker is charged. Training begins! This is what positive reinforcement looks like. Remember, as soon as you put a collar on a dog and it is used, it is no longer positive reinforcement. It is considered negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is much harder and takes longer to train in. A lot of people say they train in positive renforcement, but they do not. They say it because it sounds politically correct. Trust me, I am all about training tools, if used correctly. Anyway I can better a dog situation, I am all for it. PS! in this video, I want her to sit or down. I ended the game on a good note. Next shaping game, she will fly back in that previous behavior that got her the jack pot. She will down next time! A little frustration will get her to do so. #positivereinforcement #positiveenergy #positivereinforcementtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #doglover #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #germanshepherdpuppy #germanshepherd #germanshepherdlovers #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining101
The video was the first time meeting Aria out of her crate at the airport. #holsingergermanshepherds #dopamine #ericholsinger #positivereinforcement #newdog #familydog #smartdog
Dog training! Turning operant conditioning into classical conditioning. Third training session. Third rep in. An operant dog is the way to go! Let them find out what behavior will bring the reward by themselves. They think it is their own idea. That is how you get a smart dog because they have to think. My dog knows the game and how it works. I played a lot of shaping games with her. Soon, she will be fire with this exercise. PS I always reward for small intentions, do chunking when training something new and end on a good note. I want my dog to love the behavior. That is why I create high dopamine levels for her. It is all about the anticipation! You have to know how to read your dog. #dopamine #holsingergermanshepherds #dogtrainer #obedience #clickertraining #germanshepherdpuppy #operantconditioning #classicalconditioning #germanshepherd #smartdog #shaping #freeshaping #smallintentions #chunking #anticipation #ericholsinger #positivereinforcementdogtrainer
Clicker charged like dynamite! How do I know it is charged? When she ignores competing motivators! My clicker means 1 thing and 1 thing only. You are released from behavior to come get your reward and fly back into previous behavior. At the time, this puppy was 4-5 months old. Once you have a clicker charged like this, it is time to do intense training. #trainingtips #dopamine #dogtrainer #holsingergermanshepherds #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementtraining #positivereinforcementdogtrainer #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy #clickertraining #Clicker
Training in the skinner room! Turning this dog into our family personal protection dog. She barks, I mark it with a yes. She gets the bite as a reward. I give a little pressure swinging the leash over her head. She does great withstands it. I say out. She let's go. I give her a command to bite right away after the outs as a reward. She holds the wedge with a full calm hard bite. I mark with a click with my mouth, she gets rewarded.
I condition this puppy to bite fuller and harder. When I purposely give her a shallow bite, she will take it. When the opportunity presents itself, she does a full bite right away. You can see in the video. I use the leather wedge cover for the wedge because it is hard for a dog to hold on to when pulling as hard as I am in the video. The leather wedge cover protects the teeth from snagging on to anything. You do not need any teeth popping out. I do want to add, when the leather is wet from dog saliva and mink oil, it is very slippery. #dogtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #dopamine #dogtrainer #doglover #dogbitework #trainingtips
