What’s the most life changing dog training advice you’ve received?
I feel like at some point in our lives, all handlers, owners, and trainers will encounter a piece of training advice that changes everything. For me, that advice was, “Your dog isn’t a golden retriever, don’t expect her to be one”. I was a younger handler at the time, learning the ropes of training my first ever dog who was an intense, energetic herder. Only at that time I realized I expected too much out of her, and it’s okay for her to have individual preferences. She’s neutral, but she’ll never be a fan of strangers, and that’s okay. So, how about you? submitted by /u/0rcinus_Orca to r/OpenDogTraining [link] [comments]

Wife accidentally trained dog to only come inside if you sing to him.
She started singing to him as a joke instead of just calling him. Now he only responds to the song and ignores me otherwise. I’ll be outside while my neighbors BBQ and need to sing this stupid song.

What’s the most underrated dog training tip you’ve learned?
Not the usual stuff like “be consistent” or “use positive reinforcement.” I mean those little tips or tricks that don’t get mentioned much but ended up making a big difference. Curious to hear what’s worked for you that others might not know about. Always looking to learn something new. submitted by /u/PetsTek to r/DogTrainingTips [link] [comments]

AITAH for “training” a guy “like a dog”?
I (23F) have recently started seeing this guy (26M). he’s super pretty, but he’s kind of emotionally unavailable and he’s alluded to an unstable/ unhealthy childhood. for context, i also work w socializing abused and neglected dogs at a local shelter and i think how much time i spend w the dogs is impacting the way i interact w ppl. when we were on a date i started subconsciously making mental notes abt him like the notes id make abt a dog. for example, i noticed when we went out to dinner i noticed he ate really quickly and was very anti-sharing (resource guarding) but when i offered to pay and suggested dessert it seemed to make him really happy and a little calmer (food-motivated); he’s really particular about his car (territorial/ crate aggression); he likes when i pick where we go/ what we do (eager to please), etc. so, ive started using the tactics id use on a dog w similar problems. recently a friend (22F) pointed out that it’s weird that i keep peanut M&Ms on me w the specific purpose of offering the guy one when i see him, and offering them again whenever i can tell he feels vulnerable. she said that im being an asshole bc he’s a person, not a dog so i shouldn’t be “training him like one.” i don’t think that’s fair, im not trying to control him or anything, i just want him to feel comfortable w me the same way i need the animals im helping to be comfortable w me. humans and animals aren’t THAT diff after all, we all just want to feel safe and cared for. the guy hasn’t noticed yet as far as i can tell. the problem is, my “technique” is yielding really positive results. AITAH? should i stop? UPDATES/ CLARIFICATIONS for everyone asking me if i’ve seen the big bang theory ep w this plotline: i have not for everyone saying they think i am autistic: probably, yeah. i haven’t been tested but maybe i should i do not have loose m&ms in my pocket bc then they’d get all melty and gross — i keep them in a bag in my purse ik the title was clickbait-y so i want to make some things clear. i didn’t think of it as “training” til my friend said it was like i was training him, and that made me feel weird (and it’s why i made the post) i am not and never have been trying to “modify” behavior. what i noticed in him and what i notice in animals were stress responses. we only get aggressive over our food if we believe someone’s gonna take it away. we get defensive over our spaces if we reasonably feel like they’ll be violated. applies to both animals and ppl. i was trying to establish trust the way i best know how to lol if he never shared fries and never wanted to park next to a car w wide doors again, that’d be fine w me tbh. i know he’s not a dog, so he’s not at risk of being euthanized or something ON TO THE UPDATE PROPER YAY! so, to all the ppl who told me i should tell him what im doing — you were right and that’s what i did. turns out i was VERY WRONG abt him not noticing what i was doing — he apparently put two and two together pretty quickly after i started doing it. he didn’t tell me he was on to me tho, bc he liked it and was worried id get embarrassed and stop if i knew that he knew. so we talked it out and it ended up not being a very big deal at all and im probably gonna keep having m&ms bc they’re good. that’s all i got for yall lol submitted by /u/puppy_lve to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

TIL in 2008 an Australian special forces dog named Sarbi spent almost 14 months missing in action after disappearing during an ambush. Eventually an American soldier noticed her with a local man & confirmed she was a trained military dog by using voice commands. She was then reunited w/ her handlers

What training do you do everyday to have a "well-trained" dog?
My focus with my puppy was confidence-building, changing how she felt about things she was scared of, and rewarding good choices/behaviours that she chose on her own. Now (at 17 months) she's pretty confident and well behaved, but I wouldn't say she's well-trained or obedient. She's used to doing what she wants (not in a bad way... she makes good choices most of the time), but now I want to work on her obedience. I've been working on building her motivation for her daily food. She's a small breed, so there aren't enough treat calories to work on the things I want to work on... plus my treats were losing all value, despite having more food for her in my kitchen than I have for myself. I want to build the habit of her listening to me/us working together and I know I need to be consistent with daily training, but most of the time I see that container of kibble and I feel overwhelmed with pressure and I don't know what to work on with it... I'm always worried she will just say "nope" and walk away, so I tend to do less formal training sessions. What are some exercises/behaviours I can work on daily that will be fun for her but will help her to become "well-trained?" Thanks :) submitted by /u/Jaded_Gur_9672 to r/dogs [link] [comments]
