Welcome to a new series on my channel. In this series I will be training a German Shepherd Dog named Harley to be a service dog.
In episode one I will be teaching Harley the first ten steps that I follow when training a service dog. These steps do not include socializing or confidence building. These steps are for obedience, as it's important for a service dog to always be obedient.

More info on channel membership. Positive reinforcement… ive been training myself for years as a foster mom w feral cats & dogs, pitbulls. Getting a puppy…
Strange idea, but would this work on a cat?
Hey Devil. Nice shirt in the second clip. WPNS CAAT A. Who were you with?
these videos are very helpful
Hi Nate; I’m trying to join your channel, because I want to learn as much as possible before I can eventually afford to get a dog to train as my service dog, but for some reason, every time I click on the join button, nothing happens. Is there a glitch or is there something else I need to do prior to clicking the join button? Thanks
I love everything about Brandon McMillan's mission, show, and now his book! kzhead.infoUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 It couldn't have been released at a better time, as we just got a second dog and the only command she knew was "sit" which surprised me until I read about that in his book. I've had to modify a little bit, as it's too snowy to train outside and my big service animal wants to be right there, but he's actually been a help, as he obeys every command and then I get the new dog to do it, right beside him. I've trained a lot of dogs over the course of my lifetime, so some of this wasn't new but there were lots of new ideas and twists to what I've always done. For instance, I've never used leashes except when training to heel. I may do more of that, though I pick kinda chill animals who I seem to have some communication with, to start, and I haven't needed them, to date. The new dog may change that - though she's just getting over an upset stomach so we had to take a training recess for a few days. She got "down" and "stay" without them, though, so we'll see. Great to have the tools you need, if and when you need them!
Thank you SO very much for providing this video for free. I am a vet and I have PTSD and I have a dog that I rescued from and abusive owner. She is very attentive and I think with your help I'm going to be able to train her to be my service dog and rescue both her and myself and free us to have a more normal life. Again, THANK YOU
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. :)
i have ptsd and i’m wanting to train my dog to be a service dog 🐕🦺
This was posted over a year ago but thank you for your service and I hope that you are better off now. Much love and respect for you and others out there suffering from PTSD. Time does heal.
@@NateSchoemer hi! I just got a puppy for the purpose of training her as a service dog for my vet husband suffering from ptsd. If you could point us to a trainer in NorCal I would really appreciate it. I will be working this exercises you showed here. Thanks for publishing these videos!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I tried for hours to get my dog to lay down on my own, I was losing it. Then I used your method and it took 10 minutes. Thank you so much!
Awesome! I'm happy the video was helpful! Cheers!
I thought My dog to play desde when i said "bam!" With My handd pretending it's shooting him ... That was his Best trick... He was awsome. Pluto.. i hace a video in My channel
Only hours? It took days for my dog to finally learn how to lay down
I just saw this video yesterday. Tried the marker & lure training with my 8 week old GSD. Worked like a charm. He got sit almost instantly & lay down took maybe 2 or 3 tries & he got it. Best training tips in this video series I've seen to date.
How do you guys not think to yourselves that you can get a treat and bring it to the ground to make them go down lmfao common sense
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book kzhead.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
I've watched this video so many times! Thank you for this. We just got a puppy and have been training like how you taught us!
That is awesome! I'm happy the training is helping. I also recently started a Facebook group to support my KZhead subscriber's training. You can post videos there and ask any training questions that you may have. I hope to see you there! :) facebook.com/groups/NateSchoemers/
How is your training going ? I am just about to get my puppy I'm so excited is there anything u would change or do different and at what part do u stop needing food I'm a lil scared of that part always being part of it
@@mikebottorff593 check out this video: kzhead.info/sun/lJaIctOoq5iqjKs/bejne.html
Hey! I was wondering if you could tell me what to look for in a puppy to train.
I am trying 🤞
I am going to be obtaining a service dog, a standard poodle. I will be training him myself for ptsd, dissociations, and anxiety. I would love to see videos on training to buffer in crowds, training for anxiety attacks, and deep pressure therapy. This would help me immensely due to me having to train him myself. He already knows basic obediance with commands only. Very smart and motivated learner!
Thanks for the comment Sarah! I'll do my best to add these videos to the list. :)
How’s it going? My dogs (Aussiedoodle) going to turn one and I want to train him for similar reasons. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing 😂
This would be really important for me as well :0
Same here
@@NateSchoemer how old is she in this video
This is not only for a service dog, this information is useful for anyone trying to start training their own puppies!!!
It's neat to watch this puppy grow with every lesson
Yes, Harley's an awesome pup. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Awesome training 👍 I grew up with at least three dogs in the household and I was the designated trainer throughout my life owning in training so many of my own family dogs. My last dog which was a labrador was my masterpiece! he went surfing with me, snow skiing with me, hiking, bouldering, high diving and fishing! I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few things because I ran out of things to teach this dog! He could identify 10 different toys and pick out the one I asked for on demand, get food and drink out of the refrigerator and close the door. He would open the front door of the house on demand when my friends came over and then I would ask him to go get them beers out of the refrigerator. He would go and get a beer for myself and my friends! It was a riot my friends couldn't believe it!!! There's just so much more I did with my dog he went everywhere with me. was always a topic of conversation and people were always amazed at the things he would do and how he would pretty much read my mind. we began new routines on different scenarios all the time with high-fives and jumping into my arms on command and he was a 70 lb dog! Fortunately I'm big enough to handle catching him 😁🐶 I digressto watching how you train this dog and your methodology, smart. anyhow I'm looking to get my next dog and doing a bunch of research on the types of dogs that I like and what I will be doing with him or her. I'm also a traumatic brain injury survivor so actually I'm thinking to experiment with training my next dog to really serve traumatic brain injury survivors like. My last Labrador was the best gift that I was given the year after I had a traumatic brain injury. He was a huge factor in my healing and really connected in a way that I had never been connected to an animal before. He was my Shadow 🐶 he he lived a long and healthy life, 15yrs!!
He sounds like he was an incredible dog. Thank you for sharing that story, I really appreciate it! :)
@@NateSchoemer I ended up adopting a five-year-old female Belgian Malinois that was a rescue from the streets of Baja California. In 5 days this dog went from not responding to any commands and being overly excited when I took him out of the vet, to healing, sitting, staying, and more! Definitely not perfect yet, but so impressed with the intelligence and learning capacity of this animal!!! Thank you for the tips in your videos!!!
Does a golden retriever sound like what you're after.? Look up the breed look at videos of the athletic goldens .its my breed.
The way you explained the reasoning and what's happening in the dog's brain was incredibly clear and let me understand really why you were doing what you're doing. I've been a teacher of humans for much of my career, but when I get a dog soon, I'll be referring back to your videos a lot I'm sure as we train together :-) thank you, Nate!
Awesome! Thank you, I appreciate that and I'm happy the video was helpful. :)

So cool to see and how well you explain everything. Complements about telling you made a mistake.
.
Thanks
Finding this so helpful!! I have a rescue who's two years old, but I'm going back to puppy basics with her so she can learn that training is about fun - not being yelled at or physically abused. Hoping all the hard work and stimulation can help reduce her anxieties in general :)
Thanks and I'm sure you're going to do a great job with the training. :)
"Between my two middle fingers" Ah, he has six fingers.
Ik right I have ten wbu
Taric Alani Lol! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😁🐶
My pleasure,@@NateSchoemer!
He has four fingers and one thumb
Great video I'll be looking forward to the next installment as im training my two ten week old Belgian malinois x gsd in general protection over the year so I can become a security dog handler because I'm currently unemployed so your help is greatly appreciated and my family and I will be eternally grateful👍🏼
I have sifted through a lot of dog trainers and techniques through my lifetime of dog ownership. Nate’s system works better than any of them! Get your steps and timing down and you will have success. I’m so thankful to Nate for his dedication and willingness to share so much content that actually works. I had a zoom private lesson with him. I highly suggest you do this because even when you think you are doing it right, there is probably an important nuance you have missed. Just one lesson rocketed me and puppy to the next level. My puppy, Monty, is four months old and now does all of these commands, (and more) in the video! I have never before had such success training a dog. Thanks Nate! (Susan Thompson)
Thank you, Susan. I really appreciate that. :)
I'm an Army veteran with PTSD and all the stuff that goes along with it. I rescued an beautiful yellow lab/shepherd mix who has an amazing personality. Very sweet and is about 4 to 5 months old. I've had her for 1 month and really just spent that time bonding as she's never been in a house and had no idea how to be a puppy. We've mastered potty training and we've started with luring then sitting. I'm training her myself for my service dog with plans to take her to college with me. I have learned so much from watching your videos. Her task that's going to be trained is pressure therapy when my anxiety kicks up!
I must say that being a grad student and with the lockdown I made the decision to get a pup a few months and videos like yours are so helpful. Ive never realized how much of training my pup would actually be training myself and staying disciplined. Additionally, I was looking for companionship which I found plus more. While training I feel like our bond and love for each other strengthens and honestly at the end of the day thats what everyone wants- the idea of connecting with another. When she does learn commands and listens to me it is probably more rewarding to me than her haha! You may say that you help people train their dogs, but a mentality like yours with the energy you have in your videos is so infectious that I can see this passion spill into other areas of my life as I continue to grow as a person! Thank you so much!
That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'm happy the videos have been so helpful! :)
I got my little Golden girl 11 days ago, and I already feel like a terrible parent. She really gets going with the jumping and biting just to mention a couple of issues. I’ll be watching your videos for help with her. Thank you so much!! I also got my puppy for a companion for my PTSD issues. I don’t want to let her down by not training her properly.
I'm sure you're doing great. Just keep training and playing with your pup and you'll be sure to sound find an exceptional dog in her. :)
hows everything goin?
OMG!!! I just watched this about 2hrs ago & my 4year old took to it so easy.. She has basic training. But this just amplified all of her training... Amazing!!!
She’s so well behaved and easy for you to train. Such a beautiful shepherd
She is fun to train with :)
I’m pick up my yorkie puppy Saturday. I’ve been watching your videos over and over. Thank you so much for posting brief tangible sessions!
I’m getting my service dog prospect in a couple months, I’ve never had a dog before so I’m VERY nervous. This video has helped me feel more prepared and like I can actually do this!
You can do it! :)
so in love with that pfp honestly ❤️
Nate - this is an incredible video. Looking forward to watching the series. You break the methods down into simple, repeatable steps and cover the "what-if" scenarios pretty well. Great content.
Thanks Brian, I appreciate that. I also have a facebook group where you can post questions and I'll do my best to answer them. facebook.com/groups/NateSchoemers
Omgggg FINALLY!!!!! I have been searching for weeks for a video like this! I was beginning to think they just didn't exist! Tysm for showing us step by step how u train a puppy! My head was starting to spin with all the little bits of info out there. Honestly tyssm for making a video on training the human!
Thank you for these videos. The clear cut instructions and repetitions are necessary for someone like me. My 12 week old American Bully is responsive to the food luring, markers, etc... We have made great progress with your method and she's bonding to me in a delightful and unexpected way. Brilliant work Nate. Thanks
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos!! I’m training my dog to be a service dog and wish I had found your videos MONTHS ago!!! I’m so grateful because you break it down very well! As someone who has minimal experience training dogs, this has been more than a lifesaver! I can’t wait to watch all the other videos you have!
Awesome! Thank you and I'm so happy the videos are helpful. :)
Clear, concise and informative! You are training more than the puppy in this video, everyone watching is learning valuable skills. Love the video
Nate, coming from the uk, you are a total legend. Really informative videos, easy to follow and work so well. Thanks so much!
I’m new to your education videos and I can’t thank you enough for showing the down and what I was doing wrong with the placement of the food. She wasn’t doing the down position but now using your technique I was able to finally to get her to go down. Thank you for your videos they are very helpful and very knowledgeable.
So glad I found this. Early this summer I’m getting a puppy to train as a service dog for myself and this is just perfect. Thank you so so much.
NightRaven HerbalTeas good luck :3
Awesome! This is the foundation for the service dog training. In the next few weeks I'll be positing episode 2! :)
Yes, same. I'm saving up the money and rescuing from a shelter
How’s it going? My dogs (Aussiedoodle) going to turn one and I want to train him for similar reasons. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing 😂
When is episode two coming out? I really enjoyed this video. You’re very clear in your instructions.
Thanks Jessica! When I first start a dog in service dog training, I start with obedience, socializing, and confidence building. I believe obedience is one of the most important things a service dog needs to be good at in all locations and with any type of distraction. With that being said, I've only been working obedience with Harley the past few months. However, she is getting close to starting more of the service dog tasks. I would say that episode 2 will probably be going up in the next two weeks or so. :)
@@NateSchoemer This video was extremely helpful, looking forward to seeing the next video
It’s out if anyone wanted a reminder
I’ve been working with my dog, training as a Service Dog and truly appreciate your perspective. Once I retire my goal it to help train other dogs for others in need.
Thank you so much for this series. Im just about to acquire and begin training an assistance dog for myself, its impossible to get an assistance dog through any of the organisations at the moment, their waiting lists have blown out to 10 years plus, so training my own is my only option. Finding your videos has been amazing and gives me a fantastic starting point to switch my brain from the training I normally do with my dogs as a matter of course to the very specific training I will need to do to achieve certification which is required in my country.
I'm so glad I came across this video; I love it! We have a new Czech imported working bloodline German Shepherd puppy that has more energy than any German Shepherd I've had before and I have been at a loss of how to keep her challenged and busy and worn out! We've done the basic commands; sit, down, stay, drop it, leave it, but you have me a good bit more here to work on and hopefully there are additional episodes I will be looking for! Cheyenne and I thank you! I will be so proud to take her out in public and show off her skills!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'm happy the videos have been helpful. I have a lot more videos still to come, so thanks again for supporting the channel! :)
This is so so helpful, makes me feel much more confident and ready to train my puppy. Thank you so much for your awesome work and clear advices!
Thank you and you're so welcome!
Thanks for such a great video! The clean and clear instructions make it easy to understand the how and the why. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and using what I’m learning.
so beautiful to see this conditioning taking true effects patience and perseverance
Look at her little walk 🥰 so adorable 🥺🥺🥺
She is super cute!
This is really incredible work and just so helpful to us vets that have to figure out everything on their own for our service dog needs! Thank you!
Thank you and I'm happy the video was helpful. :)
This has to be one of the best obedience training videos I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot. Even better that it’s a puppy GSD as that’s what I be getting soon. And all these commands are what I’ll be looking to use. I’d like to get perfect focused obedience where the dog is quick to react. This will get me there! Thanks Nate! Keep up the great content!
Thank you for making this process clear. It has given me the confidence to train my own service dog.
That obedient german Shepherd killing my heart❤️
She is adorable! :)
She’s got so much drive!!!!
Nate! Thank you for all of your hard work and effort put into these videos. Your concepts that you show are simply maazing!
Thank you! :)
Thank you Nate & Harley for your clarity, step by step training. Godbless & Godspeed
Man, I'm studying to get my GS puppy, and you just get a fan from Brazil. Congratulations !!! I love your videos
You're the man Nate! I'm getting an 8-week-old male sable german shepherd next week and this training is ideal. Can't wait to put it into practice. Thank you for your time and enthusiasm in teaching these concepts.
How is the trading going? I am getting an 8 wk old sable next week 😊
This is so good! I trained dogs with an animal rescue many years ago- a lot of people trained differently, so I developed a mashup style training that was a work in progress for a long time and overtime I simplified it greatly. I really love your style, and I think it's perfect- it would be easy to implement even with a low perseverance dog. Really wonderful stuff and I am thankful that you've shared it. Ive got an 8 week old Aussie Shepherd thats going to be my service dog for a chronic health condition that can seriously limit my mobility and cognitive ability during a flare, not unlike MS. Whats great about the way you enforce behaviors is they are physically easy on the trainer, so I should be a le to train her on even terrible days. So excited! Thank you!
Hey Caitlin Hopkins, Thank you so much for the kind words! I know what you mean about seeing so many different techniques and training philosophies. I always tell people to pick and choose what works best for them and their dogs. Sounds like that is exactly what you've been doing and I'm sure you have a lot of great training tricks up your sleeves! :) Thanks for sharing your story with me and for supporting my channel. :)
someone award this guy!! literally shareing his ideas,information and knowledge which in the real world will cost you all hefty amount!!! thank you for the very informative video,looking forward to more contents like this!!! cheers!!
This is one of the best videos for training! You broke it down step by step and clear as heck..thank you Also how much time passed during this video. She got huge at the end
That was awesome ! I am getting my prospect SD in December and wanted to start studying my best plan of training before I pick her up Thanks so much I will be watching all your videos
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing and I'm happy the video was helpful. :)
Im so glad I found this! Im getting a AKC black lab puppy to train (with help from a professional trainer) for seizure response, C-PTSD and a anxiety panic disorder. Ive been doing so much research and studying for the past 6 months and your video has provided me so much more! subscribed. cant wait for more :)
Thank you for the comment, the support, and for subscribing! :)

@@ivgamer_6085 How’s it going? My dogs (Aussiedoodle) going to turn one and I want to train him for similar reasons. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing 😂
This is the best Dog trainer I’ve ever watched in YT, good job Nate! Your videos made a big difference in training my dog. Thank you so much
Wow, thanks! :)
Thank you so much for doing these videos, they are so interesting and informative.
I keep going back to this video for our pup in training. Thank you so much!
Check out this one for the next level. 😁 kzhead.info/sun/i7WLl8ehaGqqqZE/bejne.html
Your videos are awesome man! I really appreciate the time and effort to help us. My husband and I will each be getting new puppies in the near future. We are watching your videos in advance as a great resource to get us brushed up and ready!!
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the videos are helpful! :)
Absolutely love your videos. What a lot of trainers do is teach the behavior with dogs who already know the behavior. It doesn’t show how a dog who doesn’t know the behavior will react. Along with your dog doing the behavior correctly, you still demonstrate what to do if the dog does the behavior differently. Major props!
Hi Nate❤ your lessons I have just got a nine week GSD and I’m so pleased to know we can train him from this early age Wow 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video! I just adopted a dog that I will be training as my psychiatric service dog. This is by far the best resource that I found on how to train her myself. So thank you so much
My pleasure and thank you! :)
I’m going to save this video because I plan to self train a German Shepherd pup to be a diabetic alert dog for myself. I’ve never done this so this will be a big help because my family already has a dog so many programs won’t like us but my family loves our animals too much to give up one.
If you put in the time, I believe you'll be able to train your own service dog. I would also suggest the basic obedience series. It'll help teach your the science of dog training. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
I am a first time dog owner training manners into my new best friend. Your videos are very helpful in explaining why you do what you do. Thank you!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing the detail
she’s training so well, and fast too! i’ve heard german shepherds are quick learners. and this is unrelated, but i bet her fur is so soft 😂
Yes, she's a very fast learner. :)
youre a good teacher, easily understandable and well explained so its memorable
Thank you so much Jay! I really appreciate that! :)
I happened onto your videos today & I totally LOVE your techniques! I've trained (obedience) for years....but I've never trained a service dog--& will be getting a new puppy to train.
Thank you for this very informative video!! I've been seeing several accomplishments like this but never the initial ground work to make them happen!! BLESSINGS!!!
I’m so ready for episode 2, I hope it comes out soon since it’s been about 3 months now since episode 1 was posted. Can’t wait!
Hi, Sara. Yes, I'm working on episode 2. It'll be on teaching a service dog a reliable retrieve. To be able to pick up anything that is dropped and given back to the owner. :)
@@NateSchoemer , this would be nice to share as well.
You aren'ta service dog trainer
Sir you have a new subscriber!! Perfect timing for this series...pleeease keep the videos coming!!
Awesome! Plenty more still to come. Thank you for subscribing and liking my channel! :)
Incredible! The clear way and easiness with which Nate trains the dog is one of the best I have witnessed! I am going to try it with the puppy that soon will be arriving!
Awesome! Thank you, I really appreciate that! :)
So small and yet already reacting to the commands so well ☺️ good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"back" and"excuse me" are EXTREMELY helpful for hallways and apartments XDD I taught my dog to get out of my way when I would gently say "excuse me, please" when he was a grown-up Golden Retriever and we had to make do with apartment living. We all adored that dog...but he passed away recently. I'm intending to choose a shelter dog in July or somewhere thereabouts, so I'm binging on training videos to improve my teaching techniques.
I love that you taught your dog the command "Excuse me, please", to move out of the way. Reminds me of a dog that I trained to bow on command. The command was "say thank you" so when someone would say that I had a nice dog. I would tell my dog 'Say thank you" and he would bow. I always like unique commands like that, so thank you for sharing that with me. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your dog passing away, but I'm happy you're going to be giving a shelter dog a second chance. :)
@@NateSchoemer That's cool! I'm gonna be teaching my new guy all kinds of things, like putting pressure on my back and possibly agility competitions (It sure won't be a Border, though, so we'll see what happens!!) Those little things you mentioned like bowing to say thank you are a great idea. Gotta keep their minds busy, and a little showing off never hurts XDD
This is helping me so much to train my shepherd. Thank you
Awesome! I'm happy the videos are helping! :)
Love this! I have my first 3 clients and I’m so thrilled to be starting my dream career! I always recommend you to people when they have issues especially as a visual and this definitely helps
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I am 71 year old woman-with my back is almost completely fused and I am having hip surgery this month. My other hip is going out as well. I wanted to train a 3 month old GS mix to help me with balance issues. I had went on line and this lady was trying to sell me a program to teach watch and touch for $300. Being on social security that was a lot. I believe with what you’re teaching I can go a long ways with him!!! Again thank you!!!!!
THE MOST COMPLETE, PERFECT AND ACCURATE VIDEO OUT THERE!!! CONGRATS. That is a Sable German Shepherd right...
Thanks, Fernando! I truly appreciate that! :)
Really great video! I’m training my staffordshire bull terrier to be my PSD and I can’t wait for more! Semper Fi!
Travis Gibbs Thanks brother and Semper Fi!
Thank you for your service! Semper Fi! I want to join the military, but I got disqualified for medical reasons. Dude to those medical reasons, I need a service dog. This video has helped so much! Thank you!
Staffy bulls!!!❤❤❤
That is a good choice for a service dog! They're great dogs, they have taught my shepherd a lot she hadn't learned in the litter yet. I would recommend it after labrador or golden retriever as one of the best service dogs if you are looking for something with a bit more intensity then those retriever breeds but not as busy as german shepherds.
thanks nate, great videos, easy to understand, i'm picking my gsd pup in 4 weeks so all this going to help so much!
Thank you!!!! A lot of service dog training vids relate to tasks only!! Which is great but we need fundamentals too!!
Lovely video. I have a 15 weeks old Australian Shepherd boy. He's currently in training by myself (I do have some experience) and we're also getting an official trainer so that he can get a certificate later. He already knows the commands to sit, down, up, and also paw because I was curious how long it would take him to figure it out (5 minutes.. he's smart, hell). We've already been training in public places too like stores, train stations and farms. He's very calm and ignores any other animal, even dogs, except for when he's off the leash then he's free to play of course. He is going to be a PTSS service dog and when he's got all the basics he's going to learn things as crowd control and alerting and way more. Oh he already knows the commands to jump against me (hug) and lay down on my lap. For anyone reading this and thinks, oh, Australian Shepherds, sounds like they're well at the task. Don't get a shepherd if you don't know what you're working with! I've trained with this breed a lot before. They need a lot of physical and mental challenges, they need to work a lot, do a lot, and if you don't do this correctly... You have a dog that can become destructive or even aggressive.
I just got an Aussie puppy i cannot agree more. He is 15 weeks now and has all the basics and we are doing trick training as well. My goal is to do rally obedience. We will also be doing a lot of hiking. He so much fun and a joy to train but a lot of work. Before anyone gets a dog with high drive they should have a plan for them they are not a pet they are a lifestyle
Your energy and patience is lovely to watch. Could you make a video on training adult dogs with no previous training? That would be very helpful. How's Harley doing?
Thanks! Harley is doing great. You can follow her journey here: kzhead.info/tools/uh-6kblRzeDeow6_JBWr7A.html Here's a video of an adult dog training: kzhead.info/sun/l5aYp86Sonacemg/bejne.html
Awesome video i got my GS to sit goin to be doing the down command next!! Thanks keep em coming buddy!!👊
Semper Fi! I’m new to your channel and looking forward to learn and grow. We are getting our German shepherd this Saturday! Can’t wait to implement what I’ve learned so far.
OMG, I wasn’t sure it was working with my GSD because I’m not a seasoned dog trainer lol. But when Nate said “Yes” in the beginning I caught my dog getting Ancy. Baby step 1! 😉🤞
Lol! Awesome!
@@NateSchoemer thank you for the reply! I’m doing my best here with Captain. Looking forward to the journey ☺️☺️
I'm 13, and I want to be a service/dog trainer when I grow up. I'm trying to get "educated" as possible so this really helped. Thanks!
Awesome! I'm happy it helped. I'm sure you'll make an excellent service dog trainer!
She is absolutely so adorable and I am so thankful for this free resource. I don't have the money to get professional training and I will be using this channel as my training bible. Thank you so much
Wow thank you for all of the effort and time you three put into these lessons. You are a kind and generous people. I’m looking forward to trying this with my own puppy.
It's my pleasure. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. Cheers!
I have a service dog I trained myself. A male doberman. I get asked about training a service dog by many people because he is so highly trained (CDX, RAE, CGCA) passes through airport security metal detectors totally unteathered from a sit stay while I go through X-Ray. Most people don't understand to qualify as a service dog the handler must qualify under ADA being deprived of mobility or loss of one of the 5 senses. The dog must be nonreactive to people and other dogs and be trained to compensate for the disability. A PTSD dog must do all of the same and the handler needs to provide documentation from a mental health professional a dog is necessary. I detest people who abuse the Service Dog status with untrained dogs by slapping a mail order vest on their pet. Obedience 1st!!! ADA training 2nd.
Yes. Thanks for sharing!
Wanna train my 14 month old bully storm
@@jabarimcbride5158 I am running a basic obediance class here in Alaska and we will be on week 5 tomorrow.
Hi Nate, I want to thank you for putting up all those informative videos. I watched a ton of them in the past week or two and my 1,5y old lab is already improved quite a bit in this short time. One thing I missed on your channel was content on how to train your dog do be a hunting dog, would love some content about that, maybe in the meanwhile you can point me to another yt channel that teaches how to train a hunting dog. I loved your videos on french ring and would also be super interested in some videos about schutzhund, not for my lab, obviously.
Thanks! I really appreciate this. I'm always looking to make new and valuable training videos. Please send me a list of specific tasks you would like to learn how to train your dog to perform and I'll add it to my list of videos. Thanks! NateSchoemer@gmail.com
Its so refreshing to see comments of people knowing the laws and looking to train their dogs! Im going on my 3rd service dog, my first was a purely program dog, my second was half program / half owner train, and now after years of research and real world application dog training, im ready to completely owner train (with professional advice as needed). Really appreciate these detailed videos, they are a great help to those who just need a refresher (like me) and also for people who are just beginning their dog training journey! Good luck to my fellow handlers, I wish you all the best with your training!
Thank you, Sammy! I appreciate your kind words and support! Cheers! :)
Amazing video set. Thank you!! I wish you were closer to us in SoCal, as we have a 4 month GSD I'd love to train to be my Service Dog. Going to try to use this video to learn how to do it myself, as he's too young still for any of the training programs here. Semper Fi!
I like how you train, my husky isn’t a service dog but I’m watching your videos to help me train Jax
Awesome! Thanks, I'm happy the videos are helpful. :)
She is such a cute puppy! Gorgeous!
Thanks! She's pretty awesome! :)
Love that the trainer doesn't just treat the dog as a number passing through in his videos. Very informative and caring.
Though I already knew majority of the things taught in this video I have to say it is one of the best and most fundamental out there. Glad that I still learnt something from it as well
During the part where he’s teaching her to pivot her back end, am I the only one who was thinking of Ross from friends screaming pivot when they’re carrying a sofa/couch up a stairwell 😂
Hahaha!
😆😆 piVOT!!!
Hello Nate, first and foremost, “*THANK YOU”. The training of my 12week now, Sheepadoodle Service Dog, is going mind blowing well!!! I credit this to your awesome tutorial! How invaluable this has been. We (my husband Roxy) went on another obedience training walk. Started off Roxy kept trying to walk ahead, thanks to my professional dog trainers I immediately recognized it to be pent up energy. We returned home and she proved me right. My husband was amazed. Roxy got into the yard and started literally racing in circles around the yard. Once she had that out of her system, we started out again, a totally different dog. She happily heeled with a little prodding. I walked about 20’ had her “sit stay”. We would start again. Beautiful! Then we progressed to my husband walking way ahead. I released her and my husband called her. She ran directly to him he treated her and she came back to me. Again My Husband was very impressed.You truly have to see this to believe it.
That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing this with me and I'm so happy the training is helping! :)
Thank you so much for teaching how to train. We just hit a 9 month old miniature poodle puppy and he’s very smart. He came already trained in a few things but the very first night I started training to see what to knew and he did really well. Harley is a very smart little girl.
Amazing!! I saw this video after your other one. If you remember I asked a heeling position question and this video answered it. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks again for watching and supporting the channel. I really appreciate it. :)
Little known fact: for a man to become a service dog trainer the final exam is strict alternating hammer curls @ 150lbs. each hand for 200 reps. I’ve mastered everything else but my genetics are the limiting factor. #noguns Side note: Nate should play the antagonist in the next “Deadpool” movie.
Lol! That would be a lot of fun!
I agree! His guns look fantastic!
You make it look so easy, might take me some practice let alone the dog 🐶
Thanks! I'm sure you'll be able to do it! :)
Yo this is so helpful!!! I can not tell hype how thankful I am for these videos. I have very bad anxiety and ptsd and it’s been getting in the way of school so I’m just so happy that I might be able to get fixed without having to go on anti Anxiety meds.
Thanks, I'm happy the videos are helpful. :)
