I wonder if your book comes also in other countries?! Such as Europe for example ?

Not true. Depending on the breed, the prey drive may be too strong. A prey animal and cheese are two very, very different appealing items to the dog. Unlike cheese, the squirrel will run and the dog will most likely chase it. I don’t much like this method – more intelligent dogs may realize that they can get the food faster by ignoring you and pulling their way to the treat. :/ I am more important than anything to my dog – I made sure of that when she was young. My recall is completely solid.

very good premack example, for me and the squirrel situation won’t work, because her prey drive is too high. And she also jumped out a 6 ft glass window after them, when we leave they run up to the windows, hate them, I didn’t know why til I saw what they do when I go away in truck:(, but, very good example to one premack. thank you.

Hey Eric, I love to watch your videos! They really help me with training my collies… The first video of your I watched was the loose leash walking and I was hitched to your dog training after that. I trained my 10 yr old horse for the last 5 yrs and I cant get over how similar dogs and horses learn.. I did the same walking exercise with her. I cant wait to try this with my girl to help her get over he chasing kids. Thank you so much!!!

Nice presentation of Premack. Gotta love win-win dog training! “If you do what I want, you’ll get what YOU want”! (Well, at least some of the time – but that’s the fine print; we don’t tell them that at first. *grin*)

Hey Eric whats up,i am a devoted 14 year old boy who needs a dog he can run around the block with and have fun with after school. It is very hard to find a good friendly dog that wont hurt my cousins and friends and protect me at the same time, looking for something that wont be a hard Challenge to clean up after and easy to teach i know I’m asking for a lot but do you think a American Staffordshire Terrier is the dog for me? and if not what is?
