0:00 The way you talk to your dog is one of
0:02 the most integral parts of your training
0:04 routine. It's really important to use a
0:06 tone that's understandable that the dog
0:09 can grasp and the dog can gain something
0:12 from. There's a saying in German and it
0:14 is tone music and that is it says the
0:18 tone makes the music. So the way you say
0:21 things, the way you intonate, the level
0:23 you speak with the dog makes a big
0:25 difference to the dog. So, for example,
0:27 if I tell my dog something in a really
0:30 happy tone, hey, house. Oh, good house.
0:34 Good house. Super. That's a praise,
0:38 right? A boy. Good boy. So, here I'm
0:42 praising him still while he's doing it.
0:44 And since he understands the command,
0:49 switch, I don't have to yell it. Now
0:51 here if I want him to out it a lot of
0:54 people will teach the dog an out on a
0:56 really hard command
0:59 like but that kind of breaks the dog
1:01 another makes the dog go whoa did I do
1:04 something wrong and there's a time for
1:06 that there's a time when you want to use
1:08 that kind of intonation when the dog is
1:09 doing something in a higher level of
1:11 drive but it's not the way you want to
1:13 communicate with with the dog just
1:15 dayto-day so if I tell the dog here yep
1:20 at a boy. That a boy. And I say,
1:22 "Oh, good house." I use a happy tone or
1:26 a neutral tone to get him to out because
1:28 he understands the command. I don't need
1:30 to pressure him there. And when he outs
1:33 it, that's when my praise comes up. Good
1:35 house. Super house. Good. Yep. Oh, good
1:41 boy. That's a good boy. That's a really
1:44 good boy. And there's my praise, right?
1:46 So, I'm praising him. Oh, good boy. Oh,
1:49 good boy. Good boy. Good
1:53 boy.
1:55 Plutts. Even the command of plots is a
1:58 good command for him to understand.
2:00 Sits. Super plots. Good.
2:05 Plutts. Good. Sits. Good. Stay. So, all
2:10 his commands are real easy for him to
2:13 understand. Chip. A boy. Good. I can use
2:17 neutral tones.
2:18 when I'm talking to my dog because I
2:21 don't want to shout at
2:23 him using pressure. Ah, so there's a
2:28 correction tone. So he dropped this one
2:30 and went for this ball and that wasn't
2:32 something he was supposed to do. Now I
2:34 could have said, "Hey, no," and been
2:36 really harsh on him, but that wouldn't
2:39 have done us any good. Even with those
2:41 dogs meandering in the background, he's
2:44 still focused on me. But if I give him
2:46 pressure, if I go, "Hey, don't do that."
2:49 That takes and disconnects him from me
2:52 and will then connect him to something
2:53 else. For example, the kid screaming
2:55 over here or the dog's over there idling
2:59 around. The the correction was simply
3:01 like, "Uh-uh. Uh-uh. That's not what I
3:03 wanted." And here, like, if I tell him
3:05 done, good. Done is one command or out.
3:09 And the next command there will be when
3:11 I tell him to get it, which is yep, that
3:13 a boy. Good boy. And he should stay on
3:16 this until I tell him otherwise. And he
3:18 will because even though I'm talking to
3:21 the camera, I'm engaged to him here and
3:23 he understands the game. Remember
3:26 something. When you're teaching your dog
3:28 something, you need to use a tone of
3:31 teaching, of motivation, of getting your
3:34 dog to want to do something. It's like,
3:37 "O yeah, good
3:40 house. Get it." Good. No. No. Uh-uh.
3:44 That's incorrect, right? That's the
3:46 correction. Nope. That's incor Nope.
3:48 Nope. Get it. Good. Nope. Get it. So, he
3:53 understands cuz he's still in a learning
3:55 phase. He's not even a year old yet. So,
3:57 we've set a lot of foundations for him,
4:00 but those foundations are set in a
4:02 communicative style. In a style that I
4:05 want to have a relationship with you,
4:06 not I want to beat you up or dominate
4:09 you. Nope. Nope. Uh-uh. Nope. No. So,
4:13 you see how the tone went up from there?
4:15 It went up. And I'm kind of setting him
4:17 up to fail a little bit here because I
4:19 want to show you the
4:21 examples. Get it? Good. Now, he's got
4:24 it. And this is still tempting to him.
4:26 And the reason this is tempting to him
4:28 is because I'm holding it. But the tone
4:30 I'm using with him is good. Good. So,
4:34 this is the one now that I'll reward.
4:36 I'm not going to reward this one, even
4:38 though this is the one he keeps having
4:39 his eye on. And the corrections keep
4:43 they'll go up as they need to. I don't
4:46 want to start at a level five or 10
4:49 verbal correction. Instead, I want to
4:51 start at a lower level and give him the
4:53 chance to succeed because it sounds and
4:56 looks much more impressive for me to
4:59 say.
5:02 Good.
5:05 Good. Yep. As opposed to having to yell
5:09 at my dog. Because yelling at your dog
5:10 shows that you don't have control over
5:12 them. And it also shows you have a
5:13 really crappy relationship with them.
5:15 And that's not fun for you. And it's
5:18 certainly not fun for your dog. Because
5:20 although you may have many relationships
5:22 with many people in the world, your dog
5:25 really only has a relationship with you.
5:27 So, uh, so using a nice tone and telling
5:31 them when they're wrong and when they
5:32 should be doing something different in a
5:34 respectful, educative tone makes your
5:38 dog happy to train with you. and happy
5:39 to be with you. Right, Schmill? Right.
5:41 Good boy. Oh,
5:44 switch. Good, good, good,
5:47 good. Super house. Super. Go
5:52 ahead, boy. Yeah. Super. Oh, he's the
5:56 best dog. He's the best. Best best dog.
6:00 Best dog. Oh, yeah. Good. Good.
6:05 Yeah. You blow.
6:11 Yep. And that's it. We're done. Good,
6:13 boy. Show. Training your dog doesn't
6:15 need to be complicated. In fact, it
6:17 should be fun. When training is fun for
