Testing cue reliability - does she understand what I 'THINK' she understands?
I was about 5' away from an obscured glass door so visual cues were unreliable.
I urge you to watch this. It is graphic and horrific, but it is REAL.
I recorded these images to educate and hopefully prevent.
PLEASE ......... train or restrain your dogs around livestock.
Thank you.

3) Please advise as ... By: taketheleadvideo. on 22 Apr 12, 12:58:46 3) Please advise as to the humane dispatch method you would like to see on a dying lamb in the middle of a field in that time scale? Stamp on it? Choke it? - It was already drowning.
4) What I did, was to try and make his existence worthwhile and death not in vain by recording horrific scenes to attempt to educate the ignorant.
I suppose I could've kept my opinions? to myself, done nothing, and instead chosen to surf youtube and criticise anyone trying to make a difference. BUT, I actually care.
Thank you Jim Bob. ... By: taketheleadvideo. on 22 Apr 12, 12:54:09 Thank you Jim Bob. Please allow me to furnish you with a few facts about the video:
1)? It is shot in slow motion for a reason, namely that two out of three lambs were already dead, what you are seeing is the involuntary spasming of a lamb taking it's final attempt at a breath - it had drowned in it's own blood. The whole process in real-time lasted about 9 seconds.
2) The camera was out as I thought that lamb was also dead.
So... Instead of? ... By: Jim bob. on 22 Apr 12, 12:00:25 So... Instead of? Putting the thing out its mirsery you pull out a camera? Glad to see you care about the livestock.
In this short clip, Bonnie (black lab) demonstrates the power of 'conditioning'. Food (exactly the same as that within the toy) is scattered all over the deck, yet she still chooses to eat only that which she perceives to have fallen from the toy!
The 'back-up' is a work in progress with Bonnie; I hardly get the opportunity to train her. Here though, I grabbed a 'rare' minute (!) to attempt the upstairs 'back-up' from scratch.
She's NEVER done this before.

Criticism of him/his techniques results in a variable reinforcement schedule for him and others like him. In a sci-fi movie type of way; criticism makes him stronger! If we are to truly improve the future of canine training and welfare, such a future lies in education, compromise and discussion. Extremism and polarised opinions will only serve to facilitate prolonged suffering.
Great vid. If only ... By: kessmarl. on 16 Nov 11, 22:34:34 Great vid. If only more people would watch it.
Maybe you could make a longer, more informative video on the subject? I, for one, would do my bit to? make it go viral! Makes me so sad ever day to know what ignorant people are still, to this day, doing to their dogs. Even worse are the "trainers" who still advocate this rubbish.
Cesar Millan should be in prison!
with you 100%? ... By: claudiahoyle. on 16 Nov 11, 21:19:48 with you 100%? ignorance or lazyness are the reasons for using such devices. Once informed people who still choose to use those devices in their dogs are just condoning using pain, disconfort and stress to get what they want from the dog, not considering any of the fallouts and difficulties included in the use of such collars. thanks for the message ;D
Thank you for this! ... By: alexandrasemyonova14. on 15 Nov 11, 07:39:24 Thank you for this! Too bad it would've been dangerous to really demonstrate how choke chains are used -- put it around your own neck and get someone to yank with all? their might on the lead. But you got the point across anyway, good stuff.
The problem lies in ... By: taketheleadvideo. on 13 Nov 11, 07:56:04 The problem lies in patience and shortsightedness, the former being sadly lacking and the latter rife with many dog owners. I often use the analogy of a teacher and a cane and a teacher who can make their subject interesting and enjoyable. one provides a fun learning environment and promotes growth through unbridled exploration and experimentation, whilst the other is only as good as the pain of their cane. Too? many people mistake fear compliance and avoidance learning with control and 'respect'
I heartily agree ... By: sequoyahbean. on 13 Nov 11, 00:02:15 I heartily agree that choke chains don't belong on dogs any more than they? belong on children. Now that there are a variety of more humane devices designed to reduce pulling, we need not rely on these any more, especially since there's evidence not only that dogs' larynxes have been damaged but that the damage caused to dogs' necks may, in some cases, be responsible for damage to the thyroid gland as well (see Dr. Jean Dodd's book on Canine Thyroid Disease)
Please, Please, Please choose to use your mind before your might in training your dogs. If you do not understand, then seek to learn. The answers are all there, ignorance is no justification.
a brief example of impulse control being taught - initially with clicker. PLEASE notice her tail - she's 'leaving' because it's worth it, not through fear of punishment.
wow! there's a ... By: taketheleadvideo. on 04 Feb 11, 18:50:43 wow! there's a question that needs a book to answer it! in the simplest possible terms, it provides a consistent and recognisable 'marker' which tells the dog 'that's right'. it cannot be affected by emotion or volume and it doesn't acquire irrelevance through inadvertent conversational use when not training. It 'bridges' the gap between the correct behaviour and reward delivery, enabling a dog to be under no illusion what aspect? of their behaviour has earned reward!!
thank you! it's the ... By: taketheleadvideo. on 12 Oct 10, 10:52:40 thank you! it's the dogs that are great though - showing a willingness to continue experimenting where in the past, a wrong decision may have resulted in an unpleasant consequence. cross-over dogs are tremendously forgiving if the rewards are worthwhile and consistent in coming, although? they will NEVER forget! To this end it is imperative that situations or contexts which may trigger past responses are avoided so that training can progress....he is adorable though!
u seem? to be a ... By: DestinyRed23. on 12 Oct 10, 00:20:54 u seem? to be a great trainer!zeus is so adorable!!!good luck with him!!!
here's a video submitted for CAP1 assessment in which i taught bonnie to ring a child's bicycle bell for reward. the video demonstrates the frustration encountered (by the dog) when we 'up the criteria' ....patience patience patience!! . her tail remained wagging throughout though - that's the main thing!! enjoy and thanks for looking!
this formed part of the CAP1 assessment and demonstrates response to cue (in this case 'in you get') without excessive hesitation. i changed position to deliver the cue and as is evident (especially from sitting), this was Bonnie's first attempt!
the important thing for me is to keep that tail wagging - accuracy will then follow!!
casual heeling with sit/down positions and variable speeds. taught with clicker on Bonnie - 9 month old lab. for me, the beauty of this is not in the tightness of the positions - that will come - it's the tail wag!!
