In this video we will explore training impulse control around food for a young 8 week old german shepherd guide dog puppy. 

This is the first step in teaching your dog a default leave-it with food on the floor, and that essentially, food on the floor is the cue to look at/engage with you. I often train around open food containers, and you can see an example of that here: https://youtube.com/shorts/LX-NedcguSk

Just a note: I am currently in Iceland with limited service, so I will be responding to any messages that come up when I return on September 18th. 

Happy Training Ya'll!

We have a mini goldendoodle (80% Moyen poodle + 20% English Retriever) and he is about 12 months now.... Our trainer says he is a great service dog candidate (he also is an ADA certified trainer but we did not originally hire him for that) so we are just starting to train him now... I wonder if it is too late to start though?? My husband has an invisible disability.

Saw the video on a 14-week-old puppy and what they should be able to do and was so amazed. I thought my golden had already learned a lot at 15 weeks. However, after seeing that video it made me feel really behind. Going though all your videos one by one and working with her 3 to 4 times per day. I am following a schedule to.

Hi Chloe - don't feel bad at all about where you and your pup are at! Reminder that I'm a professional trainer that dedicates all of her time to training dogs. I can get a lot accomplished in a shorter period of time. That doesn't mean that YOU should. Obedience behaviors can be taught at any age. What we really care about with your pups is socialization and creating a love for learning. You're not behind. Focus on relationship building and a love of learning. You got this <3

Hey Mallory! If your dog was evaluated as a good service dog candidate, a year old is definitely not too late to start! I typically don't start dogs past 2-3 years old, just because training can take 1-2 years and we want to have the longest working life possible. But 1 year old is not too late at all!

This is so much easier than removing the bowl over and over!
