This video is a re release of a piece of the episode of Dogmantics Episode 1. It also includes new footage at the end. How to stop unwanted behavior and get your dogs attention
@WWloser84 Isn’t it funny how we not only have to train our dogs, but we have to train ourselves as well?
I should’ve watched this before I sent that message to you!
Great video…thank you! 
Now I have to re-train myself so I stop telling my dog “No”. 
@TheJuicyEmily Thanks for your reply
I think I’m a bit more satisfied and can now train my dog this interrupter noise. Thanks once again 
@MrVbdude Well, for one, the positive interrupter is not punishment. You are only using it to interrupt the unwanted behavior. For example; You have a new puppy which you are houstraining. (assuming you taught the puppy the interruptor noise) It starts to sniff and pee in the house. You interrupt it with the noise so that it will stop peeing for one moment and you can bring it outside.
lol
The only thing I’m worried about teaching the positive interrupter is that what if the dog takes the noise as he did something good and he’s getting a treat for it. Like we charge the clicker by clicking and then giving a treat and dog associates click with him/her doing something good. Can anyone please help me with this question?
kiko is a girl??? lol i saw in a video he is a boy cuz of is private
Very good lessons! I’ve heard that you should never use the word “NO” or any form of it to distract unwanted behaviour, but I’d NEVER find a video to tell you WHAT you should do…. this is the first one.. THANK YOU!!!!!
am i the only one? if i see this video, it reminds me of “TrueMan movie” ..
nice video i keep watching
you are very good.
@Msviaggiatore88 because wild dogs make noises to eachother to tell commands or other things.
ur videos are so nice to watch and very good explaning. my question to this video is, how often should this be exercised? everyday, every other day, a few days ago, until it becomes a habit?
when do you add verbal commands? or is this just to have the dog not go for the treat when its in your hands?
Great Videos!
What kind of treat bag are you using here?
how old should a puppy be when starting exercises
wow! i’ve just watched like, 10 of your videos, and I don’t even own a dog! lol, they’re just so damn interesting! I’m hoping to add a dog to the family when I return from travels, I’m just glad I have some sort of understanding in training for when I do! Cheers
Do I have to give my dog a treat after making the positive interrupter noise every time?
Fantastic kikopup! Ty for videos
Do you think this method would work well in conjunction with counter conditioning on a fearful dog? My dog hates cars, and has finally gotten significantly better about looking to me for a treat and reassurance, but can I make a “no-no” noise that further reinforces that the car isn’t where attention should be?
I have loved your videos and am currently trying to train my 13 year old Rat Terrier (and my family lol) in positive reinforcement. I appreciate that you have several different dogs in your videos, not just your own, though I wonder if you have any tips on working with older dogs. She is set in her barking ways, and after being attacked and getting 5 puncture wounds, she is now dog aggressive. Any older dog advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for the awesomely informative videos!
fantastic video with lots of learning in it

Say if you have a new puppy with a longer name like Julian. Instead of usiing Julian as a name, you could use it as like a focus command and when you are just randomly saying the dogs name you could say a nickname like Jules. That way when getting their attention you could actually say their name? I think that might be easier for people who naturally call the name and might already have a habit of just using a nickname anyways.
you are amazing
at 4:51 or 4:52 I thought that was poop!
my dog barks at other dogs. she doesn’t bite but i’m afraid she might. otherwise she’s very lovable. Tater tot is A red min pin who is 10 months old.
