This is Episode 1 in a series of videos on how to train your dog not to bark. This episode focuses on barking at noises. The next episode will be focusing on barking at visual stimuli- dogs and people etc. I will write a larger description very soon. Dog training…

Very smart dog. He taught you how to pay attention to him and feed him, instead of fixing the underlying problem, the noisy washing machine.
LOL

@badabingrockford This video clip is an excellent depiction of a technique used in professional behavior modification called counter-conditioning.

@badabingrockford Pack theory is an outdated way of thinking about dog behavior. It is based on the presumption that a wolf pack in the wild is comprised on a hierarchy of higher and lower ranking wolves. We know now that wolf packs in the wild consist of family members with the top ranking wolves being the parents. We also know that dogs are not the pack animals we once presumed they were, based at least in part on the work of Dr. Ray Coppinger, noted dog biologist.

i have found that when the dogs get use to the treats, they do not listen to you when you do not give them any…

That’s one noisy washing machine. :3

hello from germany
here it is much more popular to teach dogs the condition thing. Classic conditioning (Pawlow) and operant conditioning (Skinner). Both techniques assume, that a dog is unable to think and can be progammed as a machine. But the problem is, that the pack leader thing also doesn’t work, due to false interpretation of wolf behaviour. In the last past ten years there are new ideas and researches in cognitive abilities of dogs. Maybe that could solve some problems?

Sorry but I would also be irritated if I had such a washing machine in my house ! You should get a European model, much less noisy ! I am about to try the clicker training (in the attempt to temper his behaviour in the presence of cats, other dogs, cows ans calfs outside the house) but there is no way I’m going to prop him full of food

I love your videos! I train dogs as well, and I think that you manage to show beginners a nice, simple way to work with their pets that doesn’t involve shouting, pain, or any other kind of negative reinforcement. One thing I’d like to make a note of: My dog reacts negatively to the sound of the clicker, so rather than use a click when she successfully completes a new trick or command, we use the word “Good!” and are meanwhile helping her learn not to be afraid of clickers, slamming doors, etc.

@ferrari5o9o – For one thing, it’s bad to keep any dog tied up when you’re not home. Dogs can get tangled, strangle themselves, chew through rope, etc. Try purchasing a kennel like the ones you can find at Petsmart and train him to enjoy being in it the same way you would crate train a dog who stays indoors. Second, he’s probably barking because he has separation issues. That needs to be addressed first, just like with Kiko needing to learn that the washing machine was nothing to be afraid of.

this is for loosers , just beat the dog with a bat so he can learn to shut up while the washer is on… duh!

whats the significance of the clicker?
October 23rd, 2010 at 5:34 am
to much treats and works for washing machines not people

i heard rumers that when clicker training evry few times click and prais him and not just keep giving him/her a treat so that when he hears a click he wont expect a treat is that true

so how would you use this training to keep keep the dog from barking when someone rings the door bell? My Boxer(4yr) and Beagle(4mo) both bark and rush the door when we have a visitor.

Hey man love your videos. I’m having a real hard time trying to teach my puppy to walk on leash. I use her favorite treats that she goes crazy for on a regular basis, but as soon as I put on the leash and collar I get zero response. She just sits there, very stubborn and does not respond to anything, no movement. Any help is appreciated thank you.

I’m getting a pomeranian in a few months and people say they tend to bark a lot, so you’re really helping! Thanks

This was somewhat helpful, but my pitbull barks while he’s tied up. I don’t know how I can train him to not bark since he only barks when I’m not there. He has a loud bark which has become a big problem since the neighbors have already called the cops about him barking. What should I do?

nice job.
November 15th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I love your Aussie near the end, he looks like hes saying “what about me?!I am LAYING DOWN next to the washer and dryer!!!”
