I love your videos! You make it look so easy! I haven’t found a treat that my Bichon feels enticing enough to work for! She just can’t be bought for food or attention.


@kikopup YEah, do you give Splash a treat after you have helped Kiko conquer her fear of crossing the kitchen floor? Because she had been lying there so quietly.


hey why dont you do a vid playing the piano????


@kikopup What if neither dog is at the point where you can get a solid settle? :/ Would you advise seperating the dogs for traning at first and then bring them together at a later point?

If you lOVE DOGS and want to know more about their amazing history

2knowfun2 provides great knowledge about everything
Also watch my other videos on my account 2knowfun2 thx a lot


WONDERFUL video! Great job. To think, she has no ankles on her hind legs and can still do such a great Celtic dance!!!!


Check out the video I made a long time ago called ‘how to get your dog to lay at your feet at a cafe’. You will see a part where I am working with kiko and reinforcing Splash for doing a settle. It might make more sense than a written explanation.


@Koreagrrl Yes, inquiring minds want to know how to achieve one well behaved observing dog who stays out of it while the other dog is getting all the fun. Does Splash get a reward for such respectfulness?


Great training! This is a good video :)


Awesome video :) I thought Kiko walked funny sometimes now I understand why. The poor thing with no ankles. Did she have an accident?


@Koreagrrl I have this same question and would very much like kikopup to do a video on it!


question for you; how does splash know that those clicks are not for her? Isnt that something you should not do (click and then not reward)?


I love how this video shows that Kiko was so scared at the start and then built up and up :-) my brothers dogs don’t like the hard floors in his house so I will have to show him this video. I’m jealous of how clean your kitchen floor is, mine is always caked in mud at the moment as the dogs keep rushing in and out of the garden. I also just have to say how much I like kiko, she is SO pretty :-)


straight to favourites it is a must your explanation of counterconditioning. And Kiko is ever so cute as always ;D


Great Video Emily Daisy Mae is Scared of the kitchen also she does not like Oven Fan she thinks once the fan goes on that the Fire alarm will go off. I got her now to stay in the living room calmly and she will eat at the entrance of the Kitchen. This one is taking some time but i am working hard with this one. I don’t want her to make the other fearful of the oven fan either.


I used this same technique for sleet when she took an intense dislike for a burnt out car that suddenly appeared on our path we walk each day. The day after I did the CC and desensitization, we went the same way again and sleet went off in front. I found her already at the car with her front paws on it waiting for her click and treat….obvously it worked, haha.


how do you get Splash to not beg for treats while you are teaching kiko, and just stay where she is even when you’re praising kiko? My dog gets up to get treats when i feed my other dog.


I just love to watch little Kiko. Thanks for posting Em, have passed this along to a friend whose dog is afraid of the stove because of the timer noise. Excellent vid!


Splash ( If I remember the name correctly) Just looks so bored throughout the video


What clicker do you use? I bought one and it stopped working within a week?


Great video with very helpful information! My chi, River tends to get fearful of certain things if she has one negative incident with it, so this will come in handy.

I have to say that I just love Kiko. She is just so elegant and adorable. I didn’t know about her ankles though.

I’ll be sharing this on Fbook!! Thanks!


Great video!! Love your video’s. My dog James has a problem, he is in his puberty and suddenly is growling and snapping to some dogs. Not all. And also when he is on the lease he snaps at dogs, tries to bite them. What can i do?? I hate it that people think he is a mean dog, cause he is not. its hard for me to correct him when he is running loose. Runs to fast.


Excellent job Emily, you are such a pleasure to watch – just excellent


another great video emily! ***** but if you have two dogs and you’re training them in a same room and when you click to a certain dog, wouldn’t the other dog get confused whiether the owner is clicking for him or the other dog?
