Hey there, it's Duke Ferguson, the owner CEO and master trainer of Unleashed Potential
k9 and creator of Dog Training Genesis. In this video, I want to address the myth that
too many trainers and too many pet owners tell me about and that is food making dogs
too amped, too pushy, too crazy and they can't train them because they're too hungry. That's
further from the truth. So in this video, I want to show you an actual example of how
you can get a dog to use his brain, and to calm down and think, in order to get the food
while you don't have to do anything. The dog is the one that's actually putting out, trying,
and you're barely doing anything at all. It's just that easy. Here's a clip from my Monroe,
Washington seminar and it shows exactly that. I hope you enjoy it! Before you start the
video, be sure to subscribe to see future videos, just like this one.
So the pushy dog, remember I said, I'll get her all amped. The pushy dog needs to learn
to calm down to eat, okay, and the weak dog needs to put out to eat. So, let her push.
I'm open for anything, she might be anywhere. "Chip" Notice the pushiness just kinda stopped.
I don't care what she does I'll either go...If I'm looking for eye contact she jumps on this
board, I'll mark that. I'm just getting her brain to work. I'm talking to you guys.
This is a dog doing reactive stuff, right, just what they know, what they can get what they
want this way. And she'll learn to start using her brain and she'll look into my eyes. "Chip"
I can see sit on a chair. "Chip" You want to see the look on her face? Just hang tight.
Dog's that are nervous. If they are really hungry - touch. okay. We will go this way to see.
There's the food, I want eye contact.
"Chip"
When a dog starts thinking, when they actually
start using their brain, they stop all this sh** and they think, huh, charging the bush...there's
no rabbits in that bush. Ah, "Chip" See? Simple. So in theory, people could say, stand still
and the dog will stop jumping. They want you. They will eventually, but you'll get all scratched to crap.
If they want food, all they're doing is licking and pushing on my hand. And I can
discourage that pushiness, by taking away. So, I can make it faster. So let's say they're really pushy when she goes to it, I pull away.
"Chip"
You can play catch to build a little dopamine.
So you can actually use your food as a prey as well. Now I'm going to make it
more distracting. "Chip" She learns, to get distracted by this you starve! Sit down and
think, how do I get that? She doesn't understand, right, so I make it easy. So notice I pull away.
See the brain working? "Chip" Put your camera right on her face, the look, she like..
Come see it, just her head, this dog her brain, you can smell the wheels turning
in there and there's smoke coming out of her ears, every so often, it's great!
I can do this, all day, and she'll learn to stare in my eyes. . So fast, "Chip"
And it happens faster, faster, faster
See it?
"Chip"
See it? See the eyes? She's thinking.
You want a thinking dog. No GPS help. I'm not doing this: look, look, oh good girl! Don't do that.
Don't do that. That drives me crazy.
So now, you're not paying her, and that's okay?
because she's looking at you. Right, because she's putting out and I can talk to you and she's
still thinking. Now I'm talking to you guys and look at the dog. She's putting out. Yeah.
So I don't need to do the cheerleading and it's less effort. That's called lazy dog training. I love it.
Look, here's the pouch man, holy cow!
Look at her thinking
"Chip"
Look in the guy's eyes, make rabbits come from the bush and eat it. She learns. Hey, pretty quick. That's an easy
thing, I know what to do. I'm already waving around.
Notice how people are like "Don't distract the dog." "Don't distract..in training, don't distract my dog.'"
