How to train your dog to be left alone- clicker training
More to come in this description box. But this video is of the beginning steps of how to train your dog to love being left alone as well as how to set up a error free environment to leave your new puppy in. This video is low quality 1-because its so long, but I wanted you to get a sense of “real time” from it, rather than a slick 3 min tutorial- which will be coming as well going over all the steps and problem shooting 2- because I had to use a different camera because Frys Electronics screwed up MY video camera! dog training clicker training whining barking crate pen how to stop seperation anxiety home visit clicker training a new chihuaua chihuahua puppy rescue

Is this in a bathroom?
That’s a nice big bathroom. a crate would not fit in mines. haha
Question: Are you training someone else’s dog at their house? Do people usually hire you to train their dogs for them or do you show them like this that it is possible and then train the people how to use the techniques?

Do i have to have a “clicker” or cant i just clap my hands or some other clicking noise?
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Can you answer my question?!?!!?!!?! I really need to know!
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Wow! I just remixes how long that was!

I told my mom all about this and she said that I should use a crate instead of a pen for my dog (getting one next month!!!) so I figured that I might as well say to her what you said how it will reduce the hyperactivey and so I explained to her about that but she like a crate better so they won’t eliminate while you gone i’d they’re in a crate but if you walk them before then would they still might elminate if we put the puppy in a pen while were gone?

Hey, Emily. I love your videos and your methods! I was wondering if you’ve done one regarding house-training, and I was interested about the toilet you put in the exercise pen and how you successfully train a dog to go there but nowhere else indoors. I think it would make a helpful video
Keep them coming! I love them!

I don’t want her to train me (and the other members of my household) that the whining is going to get her the attention. I’ve been waiting for her to quiet, even for just a second to click and treat. I am hoping that is the right idea? Thanks again. FYI, I am trying to get my partner and my roommate to pick a video of yours a day to work with our puppy. Thanks again!!

Thanks Emily…so much! We just got an 8 week old shepherd mix (least that is what they think she is). I’ve been using your suggestions to try to help her with her separation anxiety, and I think she is doing great. She loves the sound of the click…and keeps trying to steal the clicker out of my hand. She continues to whine if left alone for too long…which can be after five minutes. I am trying to be mindful that I don’t want her to train me (and the other members of my household)

My local dog trainer says to never ever use those indoor pads for them to go to the bathroom on because it teaches them to pee in the house. is that true?

Where can I order such a puppy toilett? never seen such a thing in an austrian pet store. How do you clean them?

You know, the Manners Minder (remote training device invented by Dr. Sophia Yin) would be ideal for home alone training. It does its own click & treat delivery independent of you. The way you’re doing it here, the treat delivery is always associated with your presence. You can set the remote trainer to various types of reinforcement schedules (for this, say variable interval) or you can be in another room out of your puppy’s sight and deliver her food rewards remotely.

I have a question.. when you say 3 sesions? does that means 3 days or like 3 times in the same day?
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:34 pm

A very informative demonstration video – thanks. You make it look so easy. I hope I can be as successful as you when we collect our new Retrieve/Lab puppy in ten days time.

we have a penned area for our 2 chis & have used these techniques from day one. Now 5 years old they just love their “sanctuary” , going in and out of it all day, but closed up when we leave the house. Plenty of Kongs etc to occupy. keep the videos coming. Love your commitment to training !

Brilliant Emily. I use the exact same method, tho I just go right to the crate or just use a room with a babygate. The pen in a nice idea

Great tutorial!!!! I will have a chihuahua puppy in my flat soon but my pen looks kinda different. It is made out of fabric.
The thing about it is, that first my flat is not big enough to constantly let the big pen outside and second I will take the pen along as I take my puppy to university.
But it has no door. How do I train now?
