Re: Every Dog Must Know This: How To Train Your Dog To Stay
This video was made one and a half years ago, and I believe that my editing skills have increased greatly since then. So this is video is for the people who have been pleading me to re-release it for over a year. Sorry for the delay. However I plan to make a new slick version of how to teach a bombproof stay using clicker training shortly, as I am a perfectionist and this video could be confusing to a new puppy owner. The video will have short easy to understand steps, rather that this video which is more like a rant on using positive punishment. I must say that my beginning videos on youtube did have a hint of irritation and annoyance in them, as it seemed at the time- a couple years back, there were not really any videos on how to teach things with TRUE clicker training, just a mix and match medley of using a clicker and then punishing the dog… I have realized over the years that being annoyed gets you no where, with dog or people, and so, if youll notice, my recent tutorials are less abrasive. The basics of this technique- Instead of saying eh eh! as you add the distraction and the dog gets up, you are going to CLICK! the dog at the very same moment the distraction happens, telling them YES! For staying there, even in the presence of THAT! then once you are confident your dog will continue staying. Start to delay your click for longer and longer AFTER the distraction has already appeared. NEVER let the dog get the distraction, if they get up, BUT you can let the dog …
dam girl u tlk for a while but thankxzs foor the tips they really work on my dog thankxzs again
great ideas and advice! Thnak you.
Emily, I just went to see Zakgeorge’s video you’ve mentioned here…….WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? He should have dealt with my last dog…his hands would’ve been missing, I swear. How did he grab that dog like that? He’s a dog damn it…people would slap or beat the hell out of him if he’d try that grab :S>…You and Tab are the most amazing trainers….thank you so much for your videos and hard work!
Love from Albania
You are a great trainer! I am going to train my chi puppy using all of your videos. Do you have any “teach my pup how to dance” videos? I would like to train him how to dance…so cute. Anyway my pup is 10 weeks old and I started training him last night, within five minutes of using the techniques in your sit video he got it! We are now working on laying down. Thanks a bunch
Dear Kikopup, I love your spirit and dog-training approach and have been watching the videos for the past few days. I am wondering if I can write to you about my 11-month black lab “Kyra” who was 9 when we got her from a shelter. She is extremely intelligent, very fast, and a great swimmer, climber and hunter (field mice and a duckling, unfortunately). She is affectionate but so hyper-active that training her is very challenging. My address is duncan59@gmail.com. Thank you! Do you have a site?

i had a border collie/aussie mix…his name was keeko. sadly he passed away last year…but we have a new aussie mix named bowie. she’s 8 months and was an outside dog with limited human interaction. we are working on her and will be following your videos to train her! thank you for all the time you put into these because after all the research that we’ve done online, these are by far the ones that i can actually follow with zero guilt.
thank you!
Is your dog an Aussie, or a border collie? Or a mix between the two? lol
What is this song?
I love the video. The cutest part was when Splash was doing tricks while you were talking to The camera. I’m getting an Aussie preferably blue Merle. Female. Any name suggestions? I was thinking Holly since I really like the name but was hoping for some suggestions.

Thank you so much for being against punishment training
The song sounds a lot like Fort Minor’s “Believe Me”
Great job!
btw, what’s the name of the song? loved it!
This training method is great and all, but the second your dog breaks stay, you’re done. What if the dog had chased the hot dog? Since we can’t correct the behavior, do we just let her get it? I like the strategy of just using sit and not sit-stay, but there has to be some corrective method if the dog breaks stay. I think I’ll use the general strategy here, but I have no choice but to use the Zak George corrective method if she breaks stay. Good video overall though.
When you are 45 and you have a whole life of training behind you. You will look back on this video and say… “Wow, have I ever changed!” Young trainers discover the clicker and they fall in love. They jump into the method ‘hand over click’ and mistake dog ‘action’ for dog ‘behavior’. As I said in another post, the great Ian Dunbar has seen this mistake in training and he is now speaking about it. Too much food, not enough soul = a dog that has lost its culture. That said, better this than pain
What dog are you teaching? b/c a Shiba Inu male will always Challenge you as Alpha… no matter how well trained.. So It would be safe to say that Different breeds need different tactics.. btw I’d like to see you do that w/ a dog that’s not trained…

after your dog is reliably doing the trick/task, then you start adding the word, usually after you’ve worked most of any luring out. you say the word right when the dog is doing it – right before the click. once the dog understands/makes the connection between the word/action then you would raise the criteria to only getting c/t when the cue/word is issued. ( i.e. not the dog deciding when he/she wants to do it, but waiting for the cue, then executing)
QUESTION: when you train a dog you train him without saying the command he is doing. how is it, when the dog learns the command, he suddenly does what you want him to do by telling him by word?
Thanks for getting out the word that no need for intimidation or punishment. Though I hope you might now recognize that the clicker is just a tool…you can bombproof same thing with emotional training- still reinforcement- just not using a clicker…same principles of “reward/no reward” or ignore unwanted behaviors…Alot of us train successfully without clickers now….clicker tool was developed for marine animals that you can scratch under the chin or treat like we can our pet dogs.
i hate this
