My dog has anxiety/depression - i have diagnosed him with it myself. I took him to the vet & when i asked about anxiety/depression she completely blew me off. Turns out she was not a nice vetanarian and want me to leave him overnight $1000 later. I know my dog more than anyone else in the world and due to my own ptsd he has taken on my triggers. This is now a process of changing my lifestyle. . Love your videos ❤
I mean.....what an excellent video and ENORMOUS wealth if information along with EXPLANATION! I can't believe there are only a couple of comments on this video.Thank you thank you so much for this video because it really gave me the ideas I needed as to what direction to even start with my dog. Yes I am someone that really enjoys having actual science and facts behind most things that I do. I will be watching your other suggested videos. I'm really tired of the "trainers" who do nothing more than "show the dog who's in charge" by flooding the dog with it's triggers and then "teaching" them with a ton of harsh leash corrections and yanking the dog around. IMO, this simply conditions the dog to not demonstrate its anxiety while leaving the dog anxious without even the ability to communicate that through body language. This in turn leads to a dog that becomes MORE anxious and, potentially, to bite with no warning. Not helpful or fair at all for the dog or the owner. This video explains actual strategies that improve a dog's overall state of mind and ability to cope with it's fears and triggers. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for your videos! I absolutely love, love, love your philosophy and approach to dog training!!! We adopted a rescue about a month ago, his name is Finn, and he was taken out of a hoarding house along with 150 other dogs. The shelter said that he has spent his entire life so far - he is 3 years old - in a cage with one of his littermates. Needless to say, everything is new to him and it's a big scary world, so he has phobias and anxiety. He is particularly terrified of anything to do with cars...an engine idling, a door closing, and of course getting in the car is not happening right now. We live across the street from a wildlife preserve, but Finn is so afraid of walking down the driveway, that even walking is not an option for now. I've been watching all the TH-cam training videos, and reading every article, blog and book I can find, but your channel is hands down the best! First of all, I really like that you believe in letting dogs be dogs, rather than little robots that wait for their owners commands to function. It's obvious that you understand dogs as individuals, and your videos make the training process super clear. Up until I found you, I was floundering between different techniques, and even the ones that resonated with me were confusing to put into a workable training plan for Finn. After listening to you, I feel like I now have a good plan in place, and hopefully we can start getting Finn over his fears and out there having fun! I am currently working on watching every one of your videos - even the ones that don't necessarily seem to be about one of our issues - because I find really useful information in each and every one of them. Thank you so much for what you do!!!❤
Thank you for this video. I think it’s one of your best. I don’t usually see you include example videos. That part really helped me understand what you were telling me. I guess I’m more visual learner. Lol. But it truly peaked my interest and ability to comprehend and feel I know some things I can now to begin to start doing with my first anxious dog. Thanks! Looking forward to your next video building a training plan.
in the second video example, the dog started sniffing and you expressed this will make him feel a little better, is this always a good thing to let them do/ is it good to let them calm down if they choose this themselves?
