Geez. What an offensive video. If you want the humans to learn from you maybe you should stop barking insults. Not much difference between training humans and training dogs. Snapping at them doesn’t make them learn faster. If there’s a failure in trust or communication try another method until something works. Like dogs, humans won’t accept your instruction unless you establish trust first. If a trainer insulted me when I started asking questions I’d stop listening too. Step 1: Establish trust!

You were fortunate Grace. Not all dog owners are like that.

This was an excellent humorous yet very informative talk. Thank you Ian. It laid out some extremely import information that dog owner need to know.

I loved this! I just listened to another one of his clips and thought he’s more boring than any of my collecge professors. This video was spot on and he’s entertaining in it. Now if he’d just lose all the training babble (industry jargon) he’d stand more apart from all the psycho babblers he references! But the ending of this is worth twice the price of admission. Great job, Doc!

@UltimateDQ
I hear what you are saying. I think he is probably frustrated by what he sees with all the “bad dogs” (that, as a vet, he probably has to euthanize) that could have been great dogs if not for the stupidity of their human owners. Probably where he gets his negativity. I don’t blame him.

@kilroywashere123 Right, that’s why I said he has some good points. He’s right, he just kinda seems like a ******.

@UltimateDQ
The point he is trying to make is that bad dog behavior originates in uninformed training. He is trying to illustrate the damage done by misinformed people.

Thank you for saying what I have always known..there are a lot of similarities in effective dog training and teaching. Dr. Ian Dunbar is a pioneer.

He has some good points but he’s kinda Mr. Negative.

@gentlegiants1 leave him alone he asked an honest question and power to him for not being afraid like most people would, kudos to him for being brave and stepping up to the plate to ask questions people like him will be very successful in life while people like you will die from drinking bath tub water, maybe you should take a hard look at yourself before you criticize others. just because of what happened to your dad ryan in the car accident last summer doesnt make it ok to be unkind to others.

@AlanJStain Then thats your first training session. Simply stand with treat ignoring your dog completely an let your dog jump and bark. As soon as your dog gives up and sits or just looks up at you give the treat. Do it over and over adding the cue “calm” or “relax” before you know it you will have your dogs full attention in a calm manor. It may take 3 min or even longer the first few times before your dog stops barking an jumping but I promise if your patient and just wait he will stop.

@jimmy202500 for barking issues put it on cue. Every time the dog parks click treat and say speak. Once the dog barks on cue add the cue quiet. cue speak, dog barks, click an treat, as soon as dog swallows treat give the cue “quiet” and immediately click and treat. Before long the dog learns the cue quiet means no speaking. any unwanted behavior can also be put on cue and followed by a cue to stop the behavior.

If they are alive they LIKE FOOD. If you free feed your dog then expect him to be motivated for training by cheerios it may not be as easy but I dont care if u just dumped the whole bag of food on the floor if u grab a steak ur dog will be motivated. If u had fed ur dog on schedule an trained around that an ur dog still lacks motivation its not the dog but something in the training that causes lack of motivation The reward for getting it right is not worth the consequence for being wrong usually

personally i think this guy is a pompas#….If you can’t keep a dog close? how do you expect to keep a family together? Whatever!!……if i wanted this, i would have listened to Dr. Phil. He makes all the obvious statements. Pet owners understand what to do. They just decide not to do what has been proven. I wonder how much this guy gets paid for that Cr#%. Sorry

whenever i give my dog a treat she goes hiper and she doesnt really listen. She only jumps and barks

@soxfox – thank you! Nice to read a cogent comment that is not just a boast. Ian’s best help for me is that dog’s good behavior is different from just good training. We live with the behaviors and I for one have benefited from the logic and sequence of which he reminds me to be observant.

this guy is *** i wanna slap him and so does my dog my dog is a trained rescue dog she doesnt need this guy

@cinejan
Cesar isn’t a dog it’s just his method is different. When you have 30+ really badly behaved dogs to a point they will kill or attack another dog or person that is now very well behaved he’s doing something right.
Every trainer has a different method. Cesar may be more hands on in terms of physical but it ain’t hurting the dog. No point hating when his method does work.
