This is a clicker training video on how to teach your dog to cross their paws. If you dont have a clicker you can always use some other noise maker like a cl…
well it helps train the dog and it can get their attention it actually
helps alot but i wouldnt know though i don’t have a puppy but i seen other
people do it
Yup, free shaping. When we started I first got kind of a paw “slap” on the
ground – then I started selectively rewarding for her slapping her paw to
the side and eventually over her other paw. Peanut, my shih-tzu, probably
never would have gotten anywhere that method either! 🙂
Good idea and nice use of clicker and fading target. I trained my two dogs
similarly but used a hand target instead of the yellow object. What it
doesn’t show is how to move from fading the object to using the handler’s
feet as a cue. Or the Chihuahua doing it – just a previously trained
Collie. I found it helped to move from hand target when the handler is
sitting and then to hand when standing. Move to hand and foot standing then
finally just foot.
Another great training video! Kiko is just so darn cute. 🙂 I taught Daz to
cross her paws one way with just shaping and for the other way I used
basically this method. For her, this method definitely got a “cleaner”
behavior in the end!
ya man these vids are cool. is tht a chiwuwa?i have one and she is soo
scared of everything. tht looks like my friends dog.it looks like a mix
breed of some sort
You and your dogs are amazing! I ended up on one of your videos and
thought, “I’ll just watch this one,” and I’ve ended up watching almost all
of them! Truly amazing!
My mom has been trying to teach my australian sheperd to cross her paws for
a lone time, unsuccessfullly. Today I bought a clicker, and I was eager to
get my dog well trained! My mom doesn’t beleive clicker training will
work…i can’t want to see her face when my dog finally crosses her paws on
que! Thanks so much for the amazing vids!
Kiko did great! The matchsticks leg remark was too funny:). Thank you for
making this video:). I will try your techinique and post a video soon:).
Woofs n’ Wags, Ashley & Kaine Wow, Spalsh is REALLY good at crossing both
her paws:)!
Should my dog know how to lay down first before I attempt this? Also I feel
very sorry for her when I watch these videos. She hears the clicker and
goes “wtf human?”
There’s nothing wrong with that method. Extreme praise is usually done at
the end of a session for a well-done along with more treats. Believe me,
Kiko is plenty happy with learning that way.
I love all of your videos. Thank-you so much for posting them! They are
very clear and easy to follow. I’m wondering if there is a trick to getting
your dog to keep her paws crossed. My puppy has mastered crossing and will
do it without the target. However, I can’t get her to keep her paw on the
target. She moves it off so quickly that I can’t even click a second time.

LET THEM LIVE FOR FUCKING SAKE !

RIDICULOUS. When the chihuahua was learning to cross, the clicker was
clicked, treat was given, mechanical. No connection or praise at all. Sad.

fungalonlywithjesus

when you do your videos can you try to remember to tell us what words you
are using for the behavior.

Another great trainging video. Thank you!
Denise Kyle
wer can i get the clicker
mer1nga
nice idea but when you fading a target is better to keep the same shape,
round shape the object, round shape the paper is much more easy for the dog

looking forward to teaching him some tricks 🙂

Sadly, I can’t teach my dog to cross paws because dachshund has short legs.
