Adventures in dog training.
Foam Dog Balls Review
5/5 totally recommend. These balls are great for throwing, great for tugging, and they float beautifully. Lots of color combos to choose from. But the video will show you just how much my dog Lewis likes his new Foam Dog Ball.

Clara Near Age 13 Getting Me to Fetch for Her

SQUEAKY BALL ALERT. Clara taught me to fetch when she was a puppy. Later we brought Zani into the game. Clara still expects my participation. It's always been a pleasure for me.
Desensitization and Counterconditioning of Electronic Beeps
Переглядів 2167 місяців тому
Most people assume that lowering the volume of a sound is the best (or only) way to make it less intense as a starting point for desensitization. But this is not always true for electronic beeps, which are often quiet to begin with. This video shows graduated exposures to beeps that varied on frequency (low to high) and duration (longer to very short). Zani's conditioning was a success. Please ...

Summer chooses a food toy
Переглядів 446Рік тому
Sound alert: jingling tags. Watch with sound on if possible. Summer always seems to enjoy her Tricky Treat Ball. Will she choose it over a loaded snuffle mat? In the video, I say, "I guess that counts" because I had been teaching her to go stand by the ball as an indication, and in this case she rolled it to me. This video accompanies my blog post on food toys, rates of reinforcement, and the m...
Puddle fun with Lewis

Recall off Fresh Rabbit Scent
Переглядів 365Рік тому
Sound warning: jingling tags. Lewis had a great time the other night following the rabbit scent in the yard. He went out several times, but still really didn't want to come in. I finally did our trained recall cue. He got two wonderful things: a big chunk of roast chicken, and the opportunity to go back and and sniff some more.

Lewis' Avoidance behaviors

A Beautiful King Snake Passed Along My Fence
Thank you so much for this video. My hound has it and I had not watched this video until now, but wow it is so well done. It's so hard to watch but I want to cry because I've been watching a few of these scenes at my own house for months
This is often also due to blindness and hearing loss. Not always cognitive decline.
Can you send the link please
poor souls ..my boston does same and in additional making sounds like yelling and screaming for few minutes followed by heavy breathing and after sometimes all this stop ...but she doe want to eat and we are making bbq for her ones a day at evening with appetite medicine in additional ..she is 15,5 years old
Oh wow, I didn’t know this. Will try it with my dog. Great video!
get bluetooth speaker and put it in the room then when the dog go there play dog bark
Hello! Glad that Zani is better now. I've got a question. How did you get him to poop especially since there's weakness in the hind legs? My dog concussed as well and is constipated :(
Hi! I hope your dog gets better and better. I was able to step in and hold Zani up if she tried to poop. This didn't work with peeing; she wanted to stay a certain distance away. But once she started trying to poop, I think she was kind of stuck there, so I was able to come hold her up. I had done a ton of that with my little rat terrier earlier, who lost the strength in her rear legs. Good luck to you and your pup!
@@eileenanddogsThank you so much. I'll try this out!
My dog bites my hand, and only stops when I pet him, sometimes turning the bites into licks or just leaving my hand in his mouth sucking. He has trained me that “bite hand” means pet, and he will only stop when he gets what he wants. I should note that the mouthing doesn’t hurt, it’s just annoying, especially first thing in the morning.
Cricket you did a great job sweetheart!
Part 2
I have a chihuahua and almost all touches are on his terms. I just leave him alone to exist unless he directly comes to me. It seems mean to do that but I've just found he really isn't a 'touchy' dog. He will get in bed with me and lay by my feet but he does not like eye contact or pets after he's already laying down, unless you pet him with your foot - strangely enough. Haha. He also has spots on his body he doesn't like touched. He's not hurt, he just doesn't like it. I figure maybe it's just too sensitive/ticklish for him? So I stick to head, neck and back pets when he comes to me. No side or belly scratches. He hates that. And I mostly leave him alone if he doesn't come to me. He will tolerate being picked up and prefers to be if someone he doesn't know comes into the house because it helps him calm down. But he's got his little quirks. I've just had to learn what those are so I could work around them. Each dog comes with their own little personalities. And if we are being fair, I don't like being bothered if I'm trying to nap either so I can't blame him there. Haha.
Exactly what I’m going through with Sassy my 13+ year old 65lb double doodle . After super she acts like a puppy for some reason . Only last a few minutes but can hurt herself by running into the steps instead of up . 😢
Did Cricket ever need to be sort of "aimed" toward her food bowl? My dog is a pekingese and sometimes he seems confused about where his bowl is, I just make sure to adjust him a little and, once he smells the food (he's a snub nosed breed), he excitedly eats. Khan is a 16 year + 2 month old pekingese.
Thank you for this little video. It makes things much more clear. I have started to see some of these behaviors in my 13-year-old doggie. I love how you cared for her.
This was one of the best and eye-opening videos I came across about doggy dementia
Cricket looks super sweet. What about unexplained anxiety? Did cricket present with any anxiety?
In early 2023 my dachshund that was 18 years old at the time. He was howling a lot, growling a little bit and he was very confused of his surroundings. He at some point almost forgot who I was and was acting very strange. I took him to the vet because he was getting his prescription written up at a different vet and I told them about his strange behavior and why he’s acting up. We went over his symptoms and they examined him, they immediately told me that me that my dachshund had Alzheimer’s disease. They said that’s why he is having his symptoms and I was in complete shock of this and I asked them is he gonna have to take medications for this and they said No we are sorry but all you can do is monitor him and keep a good eye on him because he is a very old dog and there is really nothing we can do from here. The vet said all we can do for you is if it worsens then you need to call us and bring him back. His 13 year old little dog brother took extremely good care of him while I was at work during the day and he even cleaned his face and always slept right next to him every night because he was very protective of him. My 13 year old dog Dulles died of a heart attack in June 2023. I still had issues with my dachshunds Alzheimer’s and it was getting worse, I would call the vet and ask them for advice. They said it’s normal and he will be alright, Killer would always fly thru with flying colors. In October 2023 my dachshund died of natural causes related to old age at age 19 years old. 😢😢
Thanks for this. My Biewer terrier shows lots of signs of not wanting to be touched. Your video is fantastic 😮😮😮😮😮
Non stop...obsessive
R.I.P. Eileen
God bless you Cricket❤
The hinge side of the door was one of the first things I noticed with my old lady
So cute. I found my way here after reading your recent FB article about dogs that only do tricks for treats. (So well written.) We've also been doing DMWYD titles and are currently working on a project of alphabet challenge trick videos for every letter of the alphabet.
That's wonderful!
Thank you for making this video. 😔💔 This is so hard to accept. My 24 year old cattle dog is going through this. She has bad days and better days. I don't want to have to put her down. I don't know if she is in any pain, no outward signs of that. But I know that day is coming. It's sad that we outlive them.
Like my comment if this reminds you of Joe Biden
Aww... Look at her big smile! Who trained who!? Lol
Good workout. Well done!
Bless her heart. Our 13 yr old Aussie is doing the same things except for the circle walking. But early in the morning on our first walk, she'll nip at our heels to keep us in line due to her herding instinct. The rest of the day she slows down. A pain pill in a pill pocket helps. Gotta love these gifts from God.
I’m am so glad you covered this, my min pin gets stressed easily but when I am giving her kisses she does the the tiny licks, everything I have seen says it’s a stress thing but she doesn’t look stressed and comes in for more if I stop. whew ! I was confused and didn’t want to stress her more but she looks relaxed
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm going through this right now. My little one is going to be 15 in a few days and has started displaying this behavior. Thank you as well for sharing how hapoy she is at rhe end of the video!
I found an old dog abandoned today. She’s covered in fleas and weak, saddest thing ever. She’s staying with me for the time being.
You just described my Jack Russell/Corgi. She is 16, paces constantly, pretty sure she mostly deaf, know her sight is going. But I love her so much!
My pittie wants all the hugs and kisses and petting you will give him. He will MAKE you do it.
I laid down near my skittish new rescue dog to be more approachable, and he scooted over to me to cuddle. I petted his chest gently, and he leaned into me & gave kisses! So at that moment, he did want (and got) gentle petting. I stopped a few times, just to check, but he was very into it. I love the idea of building his confidence by empowering him to choose petting or pass! Thank you!
I would have loved to see this video narrated from the dog's perspective.
Why, when comparing reward based training to force based training do the presenters ALWAYS show examples of really poor training in the force based training and examples of good training when showing reward based training? Wouldn't it be more honest to show good examples of both, and maybe bad examples of both?
"promo sm"
My dog never asks my consent when she paws at my leg, latches onto my ankles, or nips at me to play with her. It's really hard living with your rapist, especially one so cute.
How did you get a recording of the sounds, and also how did you change the heartz? I’m so interested in this topic! My Dinah got a fright by the fire alarm when she was young and very afraid of it. However, does great with fireworks as we counter conditioned when she was young.
Thanks for this video. I had to put my 17 year old beautiful girl Bongo to sleep last week, just before xmas.Been watching her go downhill this year with her legs, confusion, not sleeping at night, peeing in her sleep. She went downhill kinda fast, was still running around and jumping in July, then hurt her leg and everything seemed to kick in harder. Had her on the bed with me to help her sleep, but would wake up every 5 mins. I started leaving a blue light on at night so she wouldn't freak out as much. I couldn't watch her not being the active, smart girl she once was and had to make the hardest decision of my life, even though I knew it was coming for a while. My heart goes out to everyone who has to watch their loved one go through this.❤
RIP Cricket
I am thinking of a large dog weighing adaptor for typical human bathroom scale. My idea is to find or cut the right sized plywood and then exacly in it's center create a foot or feet that fit most of the human scale surface next secure something like tennis balls or whathave you on the corners just enough so it can never tip much. The idea is to put the assembly on the scale (cut a viewing window to read weight if neccessary) then with leash carefully get dog balanced on scale and read the result! Of course you will need to subtract the weight of the platform assembly from the total to be accurate! Im thinking the easiest most accurate way to weight platform assembly is to hold it why weighing yourself and just subtract your weight without holding it...duhhh How well it all works entirely depends on how calm and obedient your dog is
Well thank you Eileen!
Such a cute pup. My old dude Leon is startin to barely show some of these signs. He has to look a bit when I come home to make sure it's me. He sometimes goes outside to go potty and just stands there until I point and tell him to go potty. But he does the same dancing and jumping at food time and always has. He still knows when it's time too and will get up and stand or sit there staring at me until I get up to get his food ready. Cricket sure looked like she had a good life!!
My dog passed away in 2021. He had dog dementia and displayed all of these behaviors.
Best video on how to stuff kongs I've found yet.
My Dog Squirt, is going through this now and it breaks me heart. He's 16 and diagnosed with Dementia. Over the past year, He seems to have gotten worse. He seems to have forgotten how to eat his food and drink water. He leaves a mess while eating his food and often drinks his water like he's trying to eat food, splashing water everywhere. Immediately after eating we have to walk him because he will poo in the house. He wears a diaper all day every day because he pees constantly. Often at night I hear him walking around and I believe he's looking for his bed. I pick him up and place him in his bed and he falls asleep. This typically happens 1 or two times during the night. In the evenings while watching TV in the family room he walks around aimlessly; some nights are worse than others. We are scheduled to go on a 5 day cruise and I'm riddled with guilt with the idea of leaving him at the dog hotel. The thought of him looking for me at the dog hotel kills me but on the other hand he may enjoy the company of other 4 legged friends. he's always been a bit of a loner but has enjoyed this dog hotel in his healthier years. At this point in his dementia journey, I struggle how I'll know when it's time to say goodbye.
Thank you after 11 years from publishing this video. I have been living with my canine friend for about a year now and I believe my responses to her signals will help our relationship for the better.
😢я никак не ожидала что с моей любимой собакой это случится так рано😭ей даже еще нет 10 лет, наркоз при удалении эпулиса возможно поспособсвовал 😔
