In no way do I condone pestering a dog in order to make them offer calming signals for you to see. I kissed Kiko on the head in this video to show you something that dogs HATE that is often done to them, not that I want to condone it! ?
Dogs bite. You should never put your face in a dogs face. Calming signals can be offered when you are standing or sitting, I was very close to Splash at one point in this video because it was hard to fit us in the video screen, and Splash is very comfortable with me being that close to her face. Never lean into a dogs face in order to communicate with them! Its Threatening!

This video is about the secret language of dogs. Some of you might already know about Calming Signals, but the main population that find out about Dog Training through Television programs might not.

In this video I will show you how you can use your dogs own language to communicate with them. I will also show you how to interpret your dogs language.

Turid Rugaas is an internationally renowned dog trainer who has studied and researched calming signals for over a decade! You can visit her site on calming signals to learn more AND PICK UP ONE OF HER BOOKS AND DVDS on the subject.

I also have to say that Turid Rugaas has the best leash walking book out there. My dog pulls-What do I do?

I am eternally grateful to Turid for giving me the ability to be able to talk with my dogs in their own language.

Here are the main calming signals that I like to use with dogs-

1 Soft Eye Blinks
2 Looking Away
3 Lip Licks
4 Yawning

1- you can use calming signals to calm a dog down and tell them “no worries”
2- You can monitor your dog’s calming signals and if they are doing more than normal you can tell your dog is getting more stressed (calming signals are normal and happen all the time)
3- If you pet your dog and they offer CS that is normal, but Imagine this Scenario- a child pets a dog and it offers lots of CS. Then the dog walks away from the child, and the parent brings the child to the dog again, and the dog offers even more CS and walks away to lie down, then the parent brings the child to pet the dog a third time, and finally the dog is so stressed that it growls, or bites. The parent could have read that the dog did not want to be petted by the child more than that first time if they knew about CS.

I have been taking my dog to obedience training classes for several weeks at a knowledgable reconized trainer. She and her staff train obedience, agility, competion, show and many others, so I know she knows her job. My dog has a habit of bum rushing the other dogs barking playfully and tail wagging. The problem is she is 110lb AmStaff/Bull Mastiff mix which makes it hard to control and others nervious. The trainer told me she has not had enough experience with other dogs to understand how to play and be social playing with other dogs. She suggested trying a muzzle (loose cage type, not the tight restricting type) on her and have her try a dog play group. That way she can play and learn to play without the chance pf accidently hurting anyone. My question is…..has anyone used this method, had this same issue and method of solving, or knows anything about using a muzzle?
No aggression at all…She has no problem with use of a Haltie Collar which goes around her nose so should be anxious with it on. It’s just we don’t know how she’ll behave off leash, better to be safe than sorry. Plus it’s not a permanent thing, just till she gets it.

I think you should go for the muzzle for the time being, my Amstaff gets the same way sometimes, they honestly don’t know how big they are, but get her around some small dogs and make sure the owners are ok with this and let her play with them, this way she will learn to be more careful, then start introducing her to bigger dogs and see what the results are.

How do you train you dogs not to attack your cat? I have seven dogs and they think they are a wolf pack
We adopted out dogs when they were little I think whitey is the leader of the pack i kick her and say "No!"but she is very mad.

You’ve got your work cut out for you. Did you adopt them as adults, or were they all puppies when you got them? If they were adults and trained to attack cats and other animals, you will probably need to seek the advice of a professional dog trainer.

Actually…I’d recommend going to "The Dog Whisperer" Cesar Milan’s website and see if he has any training methods that might help you. If your dogs think they are a wolf pack, they need be trained to know that YOU are the leader of their pack, and the cat is not prey.

*Edit – I just read that you kick the leader dog, and that will not work – it will only cause increased aggression. Put Whitey on a short leash and bump her with your knee if she tries to attack the cat. This will take some time and practice, but you mustn’t hit or kick your dogs.


of course not

This is a quick how to video I made for a youtube user who said they were having trouble getting rid of the lure. I hope to make a more in depth video on this subject. As well as how to ween off of treats as well. But for now here is my Dog training tip of the day. I created the video immediately after having the idea to make it, so I used my own dogs, it would have been great to have used a puppy. I encourage other dog trainers out there to make How to videos on how to fade a lure when training with food, because it is information that is very important to stop training enthusiasts from getting stuck down the road

Quick tips when using a lure:

1 Get RID of the lure as soon as you can! The goal is within 3 trials.

2 If you don’t have a clicker use a very short word like “yes!” or “yep!”

3 Always make it harder and harder, don’t get stuck at the same level of criteria

4 If you go to far to quickly you can always go back a step

5 If your dog is not following the lure, get a smellier lure- real meat!
