in this video me and Josh are going to show you and teach you how to turn your
dog training session into one play time
hello dog lover my name is Saro I'm a dog trainer and also coach dog owners if
this is your first time here and you want to become an educated dog lover
make sure to subscribe to my channel and hit the bell icon as well so you won't
miss anything today I have Josh josh is a mixed breed
very handsome boy and he is gonna help me to show you and teach you how you can
turn your dog training session into a play session a fun play session so what
it means is instead of thinking of your dog training session of a chore that
I have to do to do this and I have to do that instead of thinking that way
what we're gonna do we're gonna have fun meanwhile we're gonna teach josh is
going to learn I'm gonna have fun josh is gonna have fun and we're gonna have a
good time training the dog you know that's what it should be training dogs
should be a good fun time but before we get started let me just set a few rules
first of all if you want to teach your dog the commands of sit stay and come
which are prerequisite for this game I'm gonna link those videos right here and
also in the description below so go ahead and watch those learn how to teach
your dog to sit to stay and to come without using treats and then come back
to this the other rule is that when you're teaching or you're playing this
game with your dog make sure that your dog is on a leash in this case josh is
on a leash and it's on a harness it doesn't matter if it's a harness or a
collar as long as your dog is on leash so we're
not going to use force or domination or treats or anything like that to play
this game so let's get started josh is ready to go we've never played this game
before together so this is going to be a first and I'm gonna see how it is so
just to let you know that in general there are three types of dogs dogs who love
to play dogs who love to be praised and dogs who love both of them in this case I
have a feeling that Josh likes to be praised so I'm gonna use praise as his
reward so here's the game and how we're gonna play this game so I'm gonna ask
Josh to sit so just over here sit josh is gonna sit and I'm gonna tell him to
stay Josh stay I am going to go to the end of the leash and I'm gonna call him
just come oh hi good yes good boy I'm just gonna praise him and this is our
playtime so remember we've never played this game before so he doesn't know
what's going on why we're doing this or anything like this
but he'll figure it out eventually and we're gonna continue on the game so here
we go so josh is getting excited I'm gonna tell him to sit sit yes Josh stay
we're gonna go no nope I'm gonna go to the nope good boy if it breaks the
command all I say is no a verbal cue and he corrects himself I'm gonna go to the
end of the leash somewhere there I'm gonna ask your Josh to come just come
good boy yes I'm gonna praise Him all right so we're gonna do this in a way
that in the beginning we're just gonna go in front of him and we're gonna ask
him to come and then we're gonna start going around it so this time I'm gonna
ask Josh to sit and stay and I'm gonna go on his side and then I'm gonna ask
him to come Josh come come yes so at first we're gonna try this on a leash
and then as yet better and I get better and we
practice this over and over for weeks and maybe even months unleash then I'm
gonna off leash him so Josh said oh I know Josh stay so this time I'm gonna
ask Josh to sit and stay and I'm gonna go up behind him and then I'm gonna call
him to come to me Josh come good for yes so I'm gonna ask
him again to sit or sit Josh stay so this time I'm back in front of him so
this time I'm right in front of it so I started in front of him I went to the
right side and then I went on his back and then on his left side now I'm back
in front of him and I'm gonna ask him to come Josh come good oh yeah
so let's pretend we've done this for a few weeks and we practiced this for view
few weeks and we've done really good and he's really good and he's getting this
game and he's understanding now we're gonna do off-leash so I'm gonna practice
with him awfully so Josh come just sit Josh stay I'm gonna go in front of him
Josh come yes good boy now I'm gonna continue off-leash and I'm gonna play
with him just good boy yes so now it's a play time and also
training time so Josh sit curtsy stay I'm gonna go beside him and this time
I'm gonna wait for let's say 20 seconds all right one two three four five six
seven eight nine ten one two three four five six seven eight nine ten just come
oh yes good boy good boy yes right the high is lovely
you loved it I'm gonna go behind him I'm gonna this time I'm gonna wait here for
30 seconds one two three four five six seven eight
turn one two three four five six seven eight nine ten one two three four five
