A crate latch and a basketball dunk make eye-catching demonstrations. Alexander E. Mattox's explanation of the training is rather less flashy: start with something the dog knows, practice a single skill in small steps, and reward progress.
Make your dog listen has drawn roughly 3.6 million views in a day, more than six times its usual daily pace. Its catalog ranges from everyday leash-pulling problems to the September K9 Skills Short, with a Belgian Malinois performing tasks that go well beyond basic obedience.
As we reported here, that demonstration includes closing a crate latch and dunking a ball. Mattox says he selected the actions to show how training can combine problem-solving and coordination with positive reinforcement, rather than simply presenting a string of commands.
His account also supplies a useful contrast to the finished performance. A session can last just five to ten minutes, beginning with a familiar command before working on one specific skill. Treats, praise or play reward the desired behavior; difficulty increases gradually.
"Consistency matters more than long training sessions," Mattox says. For viewers wondering how to begin, his advice is to work on one behavior at a time and recognize that different dogs learn at different speeds.
