Leerburg Dog Training Podcast: Recent Episodes
Ed Frawley
Leerburg's Dog Training Podcast was started in 2006, long before podcasts became trendy like they are today. Our podcast is a place to share valuable information and have conversations that are important to the dog training community. With podcasts becoming more popular in recent years the team here at Leerburg has elected to release new episodes of some of our favorite content from our trainers like Ed Frawley, Michael Ellis, and Kevin Sheldahl. Learn the evolution and basics of dog training from some of the most experienced trainers in the United States.
In this video, Ed Frawley discusses what a reflexive recall is and gives some exercises and tips on how to achieve a reflexive recall with your dog.| Links mentioned: Training Your Dog to Come When Called - EVERY TIME - With Ed Frawley and Cindy Rhodes (2024) - Streaming Video: https://leerburg.com/flix/player.php/2416/Training_Your_Dog_to_Come_When_Called_(2024)_by_Ed_Frawley | Online Course: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/197
In this episode, Ed Frawley discusses training dogs using food rewards in recall training as it is often criticized by some who question its effectiveness, especially in situations where food isn't available. However, these criticisms usually stem from a lack of understanding or experience in using food as a training tool.| Links mentioned: Training Your Dog to Come When Called (2024) - Online Course: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/197 | Training Your Dog to Come When Called (2024) - Streaming Video: https://leerburg.com/flix/player.php/2416/Training_Your_Dog_to_Come_When_Called_(2024)_by_Ed_Frawley
Over the past 35 years, we here at Leerburg have built a reputation for selling the finest leather dog leashes, the finest leather harnesses, and the finest leather dog collars in the world. Our Leerburg leather products are strong enough to last a lifetime but soft enough to be comfortable right out of the box. If you go to PetSmart or one of the dog food warehouses and feel their leather products, you will find that their leather is thin and stiff. The leather in our dog leashes is thick, pliable, and soft. It's comfortable on your hands and results in better training for your dog. | Links mentioned: Article: Leerburg's Amish Leather Products: https://leerburg.com/amish.htm | Leerburg's Amish Leather Leashes: https://leerburg.com/amishleashes.htm | Leerburg's Amish Leather Collars: https://leerburg.com/leathercollars.htm | Leerburg's Amish Leather Harnesses: https://leerburg.com/amishharnesses.htm
In this video, Ed Frawley sits down with Travis Olson from Keeper Collars® to discuss the quality product that is Keeper Collars. They dive into the mission of Keeper Collars, how to measure your dog for a Keeper Collar, and which keeper collar is best for you based on the various options available. The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong. These collars are designed to easily be put on and taken off. Gone are the days of struggling to pinch the prongs together. For those people who do not have a ton of dexterity in their fingers, this is going to be a huge benefit. Because you are no longer pinching the prongs to put the collar on and take off, you do not have to worry about them eventually wearing out and becoming loose. This also eliminates the worry of your prong coming apart when you need it most. With that, you no longer need to use a backup collar. Leerburg has always recommended using a backup collar with a prong. Simply because if and when the prong fails it will fail when you need it most and maintaining control over your dog in those instances is crucial. With the Keeper Collar, there is no way for the prongs to come apart. Even if they did, the leather flat strap doubles as your back up collar. | Links mentioned: Keeper Collars: https://leerburg.com/keepercollars.php
When we move our dog to a variable reward schedule and we do it at the right time, it should produce more drive in our dog to perform. If we have introduced the dog to the 'NOPE' marker enough times (hundreds of times - see our online course on Marker Training) the dog will think 'Hey I deserve a reward but I didn't get one, I must have done something wrong so I'll try harder next time'. Then the following behaviors it gets rewarded 3 or 4 times, then no reward again. The goal of a variable reward system is to develop a training module where the dog never knows when or how many rewards it's going to get for offering a behavior. Finding the right balance is your challenge. Being ready to back up your training for a while will help you figure this out. Every dog is different, that's why no one can tell you exactly how to do it for your dog. | Links mentioned: Training Dogs with Food Rewards: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206 | The Power of Training Dogs with Markers (2024 Version): https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/96
It may seem counterintuitive to say that we don't want to use our dog's highest-value food reward all the time. With some dogs, there may be times in teaching a behavior where that's exactly what we need to do. The same thing may happen with dogs that are transitioned to toy rewards. Let's say we have an extremely high food drive dog that gets so amped up when it knows you have steak that it's brain stops working and the steak becomes more of a distraction. So much so that we need to add pressure to calm the dog down so we can help it learn. If that ever becomes the case with your dog, then change your food rewards to a lesser value food reward, maybe kibble. Once the dog knows the behavior and once it has gone through impulse control training, you will be able to go back and use high-value rewards like steak again. At that point, the dog understands that the road to steak is to stay focused and offer the behavior we ask for. | Links mentioned: Training Dogs with Food Rewards - Version 2024 https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206
There is something every new trainer needs to know. If your dog won't take food, if it's not interested in your high-value food reward, it's either: 1 - full and not hungry 2 - it's distracted 3 - it's stressed If my dog is paying attention to the screaming kids next door the dog will often find the kids more interesting than the food reward we have. If my dog is stressed, because of the environment I have chosen to train in, the dog will not take food. Look at it like this: if you are scared do you feel like eating? Probably not. If you are mad, do you feel like eating, probably not. STRESS KILLS FOOD DRIVE.| Links mentioned: Training Dogs with Food Rewards: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206

When we ask our dog for a hand-touch we expect the dog to touch their nose to the palm of our hand. The hand-touch becomes a fun game that our dogs love to play at home and on walks. In fact, with many dogs, the hand-touch itself becomes a reward. Once our dog becomes fluent with the hand-touch we can use it to redirect the dog away from unwanted distractions like other dogs, people, or things that make them nervous or reactive. This video came out of a new 5 hour online course from Leerburg.com titled Training Your Dog With High Value Food Rewards with Ed Frawley. | Links mentioned: Training Dogs with Food Rewards with Ed Frawley: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206
One of the benefits of learning to use food rewards in your training is you will end up with a dog that loves to train, in fact, most will challenge you to take them out to train. This is very different from what I experienced back in the 1960s and 1970s. | Links mentioned: Training Dogs with Food Rewards with Ed Frawley: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/206

This online course was released in 2024. This course goes into much more detail not only on how to learn markers but also how to apply them in behavior creation. In 2008 Ed Frawley, the owner of Leerburg, released his first DVD on the subject of Marker training. That material and more was turned into an online course in 2015. That course is being redone and updated with additional training material and is being released in late 2023 or early 2024. | Links mentioned: The Power of Training Dogs with Markers - https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/96

We use the exact same marker concepts to check the dog's teeth, look in his ears, grab his collar and brush him. We break the task into small parts and mark/reward each step along the way. In the short video below you will watch Cindy handle Meru using markers. This only needs to take a couple of minutes every day for the dog to accept being handled. This is something we will do for many months. | Links mentioned: KLIMB Dog Training Platform & Agility System: https://leerburg.com/klimbtable.php | Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 12 Months https://university.leerburg.com/Course/courseHome/courseid/91

When it comes to K9 detection training, it can be dangerous and hazardous for dog trainers to handle volatile materials such as Fentanyl and many explosives. Leerburg has worked with Getxent's patented technology to create our K9 Odor Training Kit. The kit has been designed by Ed Frawley to take the risk of working with these dangerous agents our dogs are expected to locate. The Getxent tube is an innovative polymer tube that can absorb and emit odors. It can also simulate a large quantity of your target scent. To absorb odors, simply place the target sample and the Getxent tube in an airtight container for a select amount of time. The chart below is an example that shows the duration required to simulate large quantities based on exposure to 1kg of target sample in an airtight container.| Links mentioned: Getxent K9 Odor Training Kit: https://leerburg.com/getxent-k9-odor-kit.php | Getxent Tube in Glass Bottle: https://leerburg.com/getxent-tube.php | Getxent Magnetic Odor Box: https://leerburg.com/getxent-magnetic-odor-box.php | Revolutionize Your Dog's Scent Detection Training with Getxent: https://leerburg.com/getxent.php

This podcast is about the evolution of training methods used to control and/or eliminate dog aggression with remote collars. I bought my first electric collar in 1979. It was a Tri Tronics Pro 100 that cost $1,000.00. Today that collar is the model-T ford of e-collars. Just as remote collars have drastically improved over the years, so too have the methods used to apply them to our dog training. We are now able to use levels of stimulation in training that we humans can’t even feel. One of my favorite quotes is “When you know better, you do better.” This podcast is going to allow many people do a better job training their dog aggressive dogs with electric collars.
This 25 minute podcast explores the methods to train your dog with food rewards. Training with food increases the dogs motivation to learn along with improving the bond between dog and handler. Trainers need to use different treats when training different exercises. Some dogs, for one reason or another, don’t have a lot of food drive. I explain the work to insure that every dog has food drive. I discuss the relationship between using high value meat rewards Vs using some of the many all-natural food rewards that we sell. Many people mistakenly use way to large of a food reward in training. I go into detail about what size to use and how creating a trail mix of different food rewards can positively effect the dogs motivation to work.
Learning to train your dog with markers is the quickest way new dog trainers can gain timing and communication skills with their dogs. In my opinion the essence of marker training is that it teaches dogs to problem solve. It is also one of the best ways dog owners can build the bond between themselves and their dogs.
One of the most misunderstood areas of dog training, by beginners and so called professionals alike, is how and when to correct a dog. The lack of understanding of corrections is where many people get into trouble when they train their dogs.
One of the most important concepts that every new pet owner must learn, if they want to become an effective dog trainer, is how to motivate their dog to want to follow commands and participate in training. When people first begin to train their dog many confuse “rewarding their dog” with “motivating their dog”. While these two concepts are very close in nature there is a difference.
The place command is probably the second most important obedience command after the come command. New dog trainers often completely miss how important and usefulness the place command.They think training a dog to sit, lay down, come and stay are all the commands they need when in fact being able to send your dog to HIS PLACE when guests knock at the door or when you are eating or watching TV or working on your computer will quickly become your favorite command.
