Guest belgian.blue Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Awesome job! Fun to follow instead of your typical monotone training video. Been trying to teach Badg to shake paws but I think he is still a little too young .. everything goes in one ear and out the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemesideways Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I thought it was great, easy to follow :p And Riddick is so cute it's ridiculous! Yay ! I completely agree that Riddick is too cute to exist, hes a bit of a delicate soul . His nickname is "S.N.A.P Dog", for sensitive new age puppy dog :p Awesome job!Fun to follow instead of your typical monotone training video. Been trying to teach Badg to shake paws but I think he is still a little too young .. everything goes in one ear and out the other. Thanks ! (did you see the kitty invasion at the end?) I got super frustrated trying to figure out how to train Riddick to shake. Spent ages picking up way, marking and treating and he just didn't get it! Then I realised he wasn't really paying attention! Was just focusing on my hand and the treat, not me. So thats why I made sure to get him to focus on me before anything else ! You could see his expression when he got it, "Oooh, the paw thing is what you want? I get it now!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Nice start. I use clicker training and that is the same as using a marker word so with this trick - I would shape the behaviour first and then add the command later. Otherwise you are not marking the exact behaviour you want - and you can see this in the dog at the end. With your voice I would use a more distinctive marker word if you do not use a clicker - you need to indicate a degree of praise to the dog. I would not use 'good' as a marker as many people use 'good' in general with their dog such as 'good boy'. Edited June 8, 2010 by Danois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Kikopup on Youtube has some excellent videos for teaching behaviours/ tricks if you're looking for more inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danois Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 He does not respond to the verbal command - he responds to you putting your hand forward which to me shows he does not understand the connection between the command and the behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spot. Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 He does not respond to the verbal command - he responds to you putting your hand forward which to me shows he does not understand the connection between the command and the behaviour. I agree. Good job on the video though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I get it now, and you're right ! But keep in mind this is for your average pet owner who has absolutely no idea when it comes to training. If they consistently say shake first, He will eventually learn the verbal command. Since the hand action comes after it. I put it together like this mainly as a way of putting everything into one video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:ange: Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Cute video!!! Very Cute! Love kittys tail at the end.. hehe I don't use a clicker either but I do mark the behaviour with a "Yes!", food, praise. To teach my dogs to shake I have used clicking fingers.. I think dogs making the connection with a verbal cue and actually doing the behaviour takes alot more practice, patience and consistency. My bitch was nearly 14 months before I could consistently get behavour I wanted from her without hand cues/signals (I am also not a professional dog trainer) such as dropping, heeling, shaking, staying etc. I think you've done great! Make sure you post your next one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I love it. The technique is different to the one I used. I just rewarded my dog when she offered the paw anyway (she does that to grab your hand and she tries to put your hand on her belly for a rub - she's got me well trained). Added the "shake command" after I was getting successful shaking happening. And used a clicker and loads of yummy treats. But your way works too. I love the video edits and captions. Makes it look professional and is certainly way beyond my video editing ability / software. And the cat tail at the end. Very cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would throw his paw out no problem and it took him all of 5 minutes to learn shake. And then another 5 minutes to learn shake with the other paw. Riddick however, very rarely paws anything! I can name maybe once that hes pawed my in any way since I've owned him. I tried so many different things to try and get him to paw at them. (Toys, other dog, my mum, food, ect! ) ) Patience was key for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to teach Badg to shake paws but I think he is still a little too young .. everything goes in one ear and out the other. My puppy is only 8.5 weeks and can shake hands, so I think badger is not too young. Just keep trying and i am sure he will get it A read in another thread that if you hold the treat in your hand and make a fist around it, the dog will try to paw your hand to get at the treat. I used this to teach my puppy, she learnt it in about 10 mins! Riddick is so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemesideways Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Apparently my video views on youtube have been frozen cause I watched it too many times on my home computer. How stupid is that? The reason I've watched it about a dozen times from home is because I've showed my family and my friends!!! Sigh. I hate technical issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
