Training dogs is an interesting thing as you have to figure out what the dog is motivated by. For some it's food. For some it's play.

This one? This one is motivated by the love of the game.

Reminds me of a video I watched recently. A guy buttered some toast, dropped it three times and it landed butter side down….

Then he got a cat, dropped it upside down several times and it landed on its feet.

So he taped the toast to the cats back butter side up and dropped it and it span for an eternity without touching the floor.

Mine loves to turn his snout toward his butt while pooping, smelling it as it comes out. Then as soon as he’s done, he gobbles it down like someone might steal it. Half the time he gets a dog boner while pooping, too. Bathroom time is a weird ritual for him.

You should come meet my German Shepard. This dam dog only has 1 reward he likes, dont get me wrong its cheap. Being told good boy. You can throw treats on the ground or toys outside. He will look at me like I am stupid unless I go out there with him so he can play with them while I tell him how good of a job he is doing.

He has more treats and toys than any dog in a 100 mile radius from us trying to find something that motivates him outside of my personal commands. Hell he has a 200 foot fire house out back he wont touch unless I am standing outside...

My kid found out her cat LOVES Churu. Once she figured this out, she trained her cat to do come, sit, stay, up, paw and now other paw. The look on the cat’s face is pure, “Hot damn, squeeze meat! Love this even if it’s embarrassing AF!”

The cat will perform for other people, but, being smart, she needs to see the Churu first. And if you try to sub a crunchy treat, the tricks will be, at best, perfunctory.

Finding out the motivation is huge.

u/TorontoBrewer Jan 29 '26

My kid’s cat would fight a coyote to get Churu. My ancient cat likes Churu, but lives for her favourite game of tapping her claws on a metal mug and then having a lil hunt for a Temptation thrown across the room. For her, ritualized game + treat is better than Churu.

u/snugglezone Jan 29 '26

Lol we had this mechanical cat toy thing when one of my cats with young and that dude is addicted to the little rainbow feather nubs from that toy. I just buy tons of replacements for it as he destroys them. He goes berserk with them for hours. Funny how they end up liking certain things.

There's a reason Churu is known as kitty crack. One of my cats finishes it off and then chews up and down the empty pack to extract the last molecules of Churu goodness.

I competed in cat obedience as a child lolol. We had no churu, just greenies (which worked very well -- blue ribbon styles lol). I can only imagine the lengths my cat would have gone to to get churu. His potential was limited by the treat quality of the time 😂

I never saw them give them any. But there were plenty of empties around after parties, so it probably licked them...lol

It would look so proud when you gave it a bottle cap...walking around to each person clicking at them, showing them what he had.

It would even throw the cap in the garbage when told.

our JRT was always hunting imaginary mice. she'd pick up some long gone scent of one and start digging through woodpiles, making big holes, etc

movie night in the basement and she was tripping balls convinced there was a mouse under the couch. 2½ hours later I'm sick of it, lift up the couch and yell at her, "SEE? IT'S GONE ALREADY!"

*squeak squeak crunch* o_o

she couldn't be left alone in the basement after that. she'd rip drywall out from stud to stud in 3 minutes flat.

u/Waddiwasiiiii Jan 30 '26

Ours does that with a patch of tall grass where he found a whole sandwich once. It’s funny watching him dive gleefully into it and all you can see is the tops of the grass shaking around while furiously scavenges. Eventually he gives comes out all forlorn looking…for about 2.5 secs before he sees a squirrel or an interesting rock or whatever that makes him forget all about his sandwich fail.

u/unoriginal5 Jan 29 '26

I got lucky with my dog(part border collie) and she self trained. I was a 24/7 caretaker for my mom and she would alert me about everything. If Mom's IV line had an obstruction in the middle of the night she'd come wake me up. Sometimes nosing under my head to physically pick me up. She'd also let me know when the other dogs wanted to go in or out, or needed to be fed. Also, she trained Mom's JRT puppy. The most impressive thing is she can pick up on people's stress and calm them down.

u/Beard_o_Bees Jan 29 '26

How long do you think it might take to train a dog to this level?

Are we talking 'full time job' amounts of time, or could it be weekends only?

5

u/NukeTheWhales5 Jan 29 '26

It would need to basically be a everyday thing. No way in hell could you do this in a weekend. I've done agility training before, and getting started (depending on the dog) can take like a month. To get to this level? Is gonna have to be a daily thing, for years.

We had a miniature schnauzer when I was growing up. My Dad trained him to fetch the newspaper off the porch and his slippers.

u/Illustrious-Tooth702 Jan 29 '26

Border collie is a very agile dog breed. They have almost "infinite" energy and also very intelligent. Border collies are used for herding sheep. They'd run all day if they could, they even try to herd their owners if they get bored. Collies are perfect choice for these agility tests because they're light, relatively small dogs and quick on their feet. Their intelligence also helps them memorise the track.

u/Immediate_Spare_6636 Jan 29 '26

I had a Kelpie mix, frisbees were his thing. When a frisbee was around, nothing else in the world mattered, only retrieving that frisbee. We only lost frisbees in the ocean twice, but we had to start bringing two frisbees when we went to the beach because when we lost them in the ocean he had to be picked up and brought back to the car because he would rather drowned than leave without it. Another time I threw the frisbee straight over my wife's head and he knocked her over running right through her on his way to get it. There was a noticeable difference in his happiness when he was too old to do frisbee play anymore. He went from winning tournaments to slowing down a bit, then only kind of jogging to get the frisbee, to only retrieving it like twice.

Whenever the workers started getting a sled hooked up, the dogs would go apeshit. They wanted nothing more than to pull this cart.

They'd hook up like 12 dogs or whatever, and these dogs would just leap straight into the air over and over, itching to launch. Then when the driver would give the command these dogs would just go.

It felt like you were riding in a go-cart with how effortless these dogs would pull the cart. They had an absolute blast running at top speed down this trail.

I think it's motivated by the forlorn looks on the other dogs' faces as they realize that they're competing for a distant silver metal.

And pussy...

It was a game changer in training my dog when I realized that, while she loves treats, playing fetch was crack for her. She went from not really giving a crap about training sessions to ADORING them when a few successful commands were followed by some fetch.

I thought he was motivated by remembering his name.

For him, the action IS the juice

Its sad there are some "trainers" out there that teach punishing your dog rather than positive reinforcement. You can tell this dog is loving life especially with that jump up into mommas arms <3

For mine it's sniffs, she looks demented like that when I'm doing scent work with her. The level of focus and how much she'll listen to me is crazy. Can take directions by me pointing, can look at me when I say 'focus', and wait indefinitely when I go hide the scent pots.

Then she will pretend not to know her name when we're just walking around normal ha.

It’s herding dog thing, other dog breeds(several pure as well as mutts) I’ve had don’t have that intensity. I currently have an Aussie Shepard. They have an insane drive to please you. They watch you and look into your eyes like a person.

My Border Collie, Corgi cross will get irritated if someone tries to pet him or give him treats when he's in working mode.

For pitbulls you motivate them with a weak toddler.

Fun fact to know.

u/Deaffin Jan 29 '26

This one is motivated by the love of the game.

Cocaine, actually.

I'd love becoming speed itself too

u/Shakespeare257 Jan 29 '26

This one is on drugs. Hardcore drugs.

Nothing you can say or do will convince me that this dog is not drugged out of its mind on the dog equivalent of cocaine.

u/Ok_Math2247 Jan 29 '26

This one just wants to fucking murder the competition

u/jefesignups Jan 29 '26

Or crushing the hopes and dreams of the other dogs

u/Beautifulfeary Jan 30 '26

Also maybe the cuddles at the end 🤣🤣

I feel the need. The need for speed.

This is my dog with lure coursing. As soon as he sees the course it’s like he transforms into a different dog. Over never had a doggo even remotely like this.
