The puppies upgraded to a bigger food box. Making the puppies tough enough that they can easily adapt to life's inevitable daily challenges! There are a lot of things going on in this environment. #rainydays #socialization #pressure #food #ect #holsingergermanshepherds #DogTraining #nepopo #socializationtraining

How to better your dog training skills! Take a video and critique it. This helps better the dog's situation and makes you a better trainer. PS never stop learning! Always keep an open mind! #deeppractice #dogtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #puppylove #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy
Puppy went from using large klack klack to small klack klack today. I know the average person does not understand why I am doing the things I am doing. I just wanted to share a video. #holsingergermanshepherds #dogtraining #puppy #puppylove
How operant conditioning turns into classical conditioning! Put a cue on it! I forgot to Post this video over a week ago. This video follows my last shaping game video. I let her find out what behavior will bring the reward using free shaping. I let her think it is her own invention. This is how you make a very smart dog! This is what only positive reinforcement looks like. PS Keep in mind, as soon as you put any leash, collar on a dog and it is used, it is know longer positive reinforcement. It is negative reinforcement because of using small nagging pressure to show the dog. #dogtraining #holsingergermanshepherd #positivereinforcement #puppytraining #smartdog #doglife
BUILDING A PUPPY UP! Puppy has good food drive! NOW WE ARE WORKING ON PREY DRIVE! She does not have a full bite. It is ok. We will worry about that later. She is only 12 weeks old. We are chunking, and it will all come together down the road. What is important, She is holding with a nice even firm grip the whole time. She is accepting my hands around her muzzle. Down the road, that will be helpful in our training. At the end of the video, I let her win. She takes the toy and walks away all big and proud. There is a lot more to this video than what I am telling you guys LOL. People that know me know I think outside of the box, when I train. I like to kill 2 birds with one stone if I can. I am always thinking ahead. I am a problem solver. Most of you know that because of my degree. LOL PS always train in all climates. #puppylove #buildingapuppyup #holsingergermanshepherds #puppy #dogtraining #germanshepherd
Always seems to be that 1 that wants to play when the others are sleeping. They are 2 weeks 6 days old today. #puppy #puppylove #holsingergermanshepherds
Puppy playing with the big dogs today! She is awesome! #holsingergermanshepherds
Another shaping game! All I wanted her to do is jump on top of the box using all 4 legs. I will eventually get her to sit on the box. baby steps! always reward for small intentions. This is her first time shaping to the box. The video was taken a few days ago. I just wanted to share what it looks like for the first time. She figured it out. She knows to use her 2 from paws from the previous video, when I shaped her to the klack klack. Why shaping games? shaping games creates thinking dog! Very smart dog! They have to figure it out! A little struggle creates myelin. Eventually she will get so good, I will turn operant conditioning into classical conditioning. #DogTraining #smartdog #holsingergermanshepherds #trainingdog #dog
FEMALE puppy is STILL AVAILABLE. She is 10 weeks old today. In this video, I verbally reinforced sit. I walk away, when I say here, she knows to come and sit in front of me. I say yes, That is a terminal marker. I say down, I mark with a word Yes again. PS. If I am working a stay in behavior with a dog. I do not use Yes. I use room service. #germanshepherd #holsingergermanshepherds #dogtraining #germanshepherdpuppy #championbloodline #dogmomma #femaledog
Shaping game accomplished! Goal was, 2 paws on the klack klack at the same time, then Jack pot on me. Next shaping game, jackpot will not be on me. This was her third shaping game ever. She is 10 weeks old today. She is doing extremely well for her age. I am making her a dopamine junkie! #dogtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #championbloodline #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy
Dad, can I go outside and catch lightning bugs! Sure, have fun and take a few dogs. I go outside and they decide to prune my tree. Lol That is my daughter's dog for sure. Whatever she is doing, the dog tries to do the same thing. That is all the time. That dog would pick her over me in all honesty. Lol they have a great relationship. #agirlandherdog #holsingergermanshepherds #femaledog
Clicker is charged like dynamite! This puppy is not even 10 weeks old. How do I know the clicker is charged for this specific puppy? When I click and she leaves her food, the clicker is charged because she has high food drive. It is very valuable to her. That is how I check for this specific puppy. Every puppy and dog will be different. The kind of training I am doing with her now is important. It will transpire to other dog training skills down the road. I will also add, the clicker should be a reflex response. When you get to that point, it is time to rock on! This puppy did a phenomenal job in the box. This is her second time. Her first time was with her litter mates at 5 weeks old. She is a rock star! I let her figure the box out on her own. She will come to love the box. I will be sure, I make her a dopamine junkie. #dogtraining #holsingergermanshepherds #championbloodline #germanshepherd #germanshepherdpuppy #smartdog #furbaby #puppy #dogmomma #doglover #dogsofinstagram #germanshepherdcountry #Ohio #Virginia #pennsylvania #nj #allstates

One of my customers sent this video to me a few weeks ago. Their German Shepherd was playing with their other dog. As soon as their baby made a noise, the German Shepherd was there to check on their baby sister. One of many things, I like about the German Shepherd. #holsingergermanshepherds #babysister #gooddog #championbloodline #dogtraining #FurBaby
Tired puppy playing with an ant. #holsingergermanshepherds #germansherpherdpuppy #protein lol
Preparing puppies for a great future! This is a good toughening exercise. It is never too early to implement the dopamine box/food box. In this video, the puppies are 5 weeks old, so I am taking baby steps. Puppies are withstanding the pressure to stay in the box. They know good feelings come when they withstand pressure. The box is a great foundation. What the dogs learn in the box will transpire to other dog training down the road. It will make them tough enough that they can easily adapt to life's inevitable daily challenges. The puppies will get so good, my distractions on them will become a cue and the anticipation of it will create dopamine. If you are creative in your dog training, the food box can be used for anything if you put your mind to it. Make sure it is always being used correctly! #holsingergermanshepherds #germansherpherdpuppy #dogtraining #championbloodline #smartdog #gooddogtraining
Task completed! I wanted Frita to bark 2- 3 times consecutively. When she did, I gave her a jackpot. When I train her tomorrow, she will not waste any time. She will know what to do. Manipulating a dog and letting them think it is their idea goes far in training. After a few training sessions like this, I am going to turn operant conditioning into classical conditioning. What does that mean? I am going to name it. I say laut/loud before she barks. She will make the connection. She will link it all together. I also want you add, I always reward for small intentions and sometimes I do not because I want more from the dog. A little frustration is good. It makes the dog think. Active dog deactive handler. #dogtraining #germanshepherd #holsingergermanshepherds #germansherpherdpuppy #smartdog #furbaby
I let frita out of the skin room. She does not know there is a position box outside. She engages in the activity solely because she enjoys the behavior and it is satisfying to her. We call that intrinsic desire. No talking! She is doing it all on her own. She always goes back to last point of reward. When she goes back to last point of reward, I do nothing (no click) She then offers other behaviors. I just wanted to share a video, which I slack at.
