Also teaching the word YES. This has helped build confidence in my dog. A big YES and then he knows he's doing good. He learns really fast. Teach both words.

Do you have specific videos on how you teach the "no"? I've browsed though your videos and no video title seems to say it's about that topic explicitly. Thanks!

I've done this training with my husky when i had pretty much all day to train her. A year after little to no training, she still remembers the lessons and enjoys a lot more freedom because i trust her to make the right decisions. My gsd that i got earlier this year has not gotten the training she deserves because I have less time and told my family (the ones who got her) that I wouldn't be responsible for training her. However, i am the only one in my family that has the experience of spending an entire year socializing and teaching boundaries to my husky + the willingness and patience to train a dog. I put it off because there's a lot of conflicting opinions my family share and because I cant be home all day to reinforce behaviors and rules. But it's not fair to her, she has a lot more physical energy requirements than my husky, I knew it the moment I saw her walk through my front door that she was going to be a challenge, one that I should've stepped up to from the start. It's not too late to get started. She's a smart girl with not a mean bone in her body, just a big pup who's lived with zero sense of the word "no" Im going to train her, even though I dont have a lot of time, energy, or patience anymore, i'll do it anyways. Because at the end of the day, she's my dog and I owe her the ability to make the right decisions in this human world

There’s a lot to this! “No” is lack of engagement for a dog who has a desire to engage. Engagement is positive reinforcement when he makes the right choices. Do this all the time, anywhere and everywhere and right choices are shaped and less management is needed.

Beautiful. This is what I believe exactly. Do you mind if I repost this on socials if I tag you?

The same people who will jump all over you and tell you you're training wrong for some reason think it is cruel to tell a dog "no" when it's doing something wrong. It's just communication, really. Dogs tell other dogs not all the time. they can handle it. I don't think they take it personally, they just want to know the rules.

Just saying negative consequences are not abuse doesn't sum it up well because some people's idea of negative consequences definitely qualify as abuse and, like people, dogs have different personalities so what works for one isn't always going to work for another. Respecting the dog is key to earning the dogs respect which I think you do with yours. Sadly I know a few clueless people who think fear is the same as respect and train a dog horribly.

If you have to tell your dog every single move to make because it’s been put on a command and a treat you are guaranteeing a lifetime of behavior micromanagement and that dog is not going to be able to think for itself when you decide to take a break and be inconsistent or you are out of treats.

Ive always believed a dog needs to know what’No’ means. I have a 7 month old Husky and he knows what No means. He’s not perfect and will test boundaries but he’s getting better. But there have been plenty of times where he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard No and it kept him from getting hurt or getting me hurt.

The way I have thought about it is that uncomfortable and bad things happen in real life. All animals are conditioned by their environment, by the social groups they exist in, and by the other animals they live around. There are consequences to everything. What we do should be providing safe consequences. No is not a bad word. It is instead an extremely effective word that provides consequences and guidance especially when it is paired with yes. The alternative is often potentially dangerous and deadly. I will never understand the desire to coddle your dog and refuse to say no. It has been scientifically been shown that safe consequences help keep people, and animals emotionally balanced. People who raise "never say no" children very frequently raise children that cannot manage their own emotions or impulses. People who do gentle parenting can still say no and end up with better outcomes. Its very similar with dogs. It's wild people think it's harmful and abusive.

100% my dog is e collar trained. Has clarity on what she can and can't do. Which then gives her more freedom to be a dog because she makes better choices!

YCA Dog Training
To clarify...
Is there a time and a place for management, obedience, leashes, crates, positive and negative reinforcement?
Abso-fucking-lutely
But don't go ahead and make out punishment is the devil. Quite the opposite actually...
Hope you're good x
