What are some exercises I can do at home with my dog to help him build his confidence in himself as well as in me as the leader? We had a trainer come by for an evaluation and she mentioned he does not view me as the pack leader, he views me as weak and this, along with his fear of other dogs after being bit, can add to his dog aggression.
Focus on the basics, get down to the sit, stay, heel stuff just like I started in this video. The idea of a nervous dog being in charge to make the rules is how the anxiety and stress builds. Don't over think it, if you feel your dog is nervous with you, go out and do basics. Make everything a yes or no game for bit, heel, sit, stay and break making things on your terms while on the leash!
I like to have my dogs jump up on rocks, logs, benches, and other outdoor things and have them sit and stay. Then I work up to distance stay in higher distractions. I toss them a ball when I release them. It becomes this game while we walk where I might ask them to sit, stay and then have then have the ball. They begin to watch me closely for cues of the game. If I see the dog feels nervous I will look for object to do inside and outside turns or jump up on something. Works every time, I use objects to sit on as redirecting
Get rid of your dog or have a professional train him. You're not the leader if you think you're part of the pack. We're human and he is dog. Think about that.
@@albertacosta657 she said that's what the trainer said. And there's already enough dog's looking for homes.
Can I suggest the same routine he's doing here but as the dog is pulling near or in opposite direction from dog or whatever give pressure turn your body and let the dog's attention and body come back to you. Say "yes" then treat.
Note the dog's tail from being to end. He's feeling more comfortable as time goes. Still a little tight but I see him wag a couple of times.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about puppy training tips try HowToTrainYourDog5.blogspot.com Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend got great success with it.
yup, i totally agree i was about to write the same thing. I'm no dog behaviorist but there was always a dog in my home, so i naturally learned their behaviours :). The dog was pretty stressed at the beginning, but ta tail got loosen as time went by with this trainer. Great Job man! :)

I'm so grateful for your focus on nervous/anxious dogs. More please!!!
Jessie Rountree thanks for the feedback!
Jessie Rountree oh my gosh!! Same! So happy I found this channel!
We not going to talk anout how the DOG is named SNOOP
@@tomdavisofficial my dog does not calm down in any way. If I put him on our room upstairs he will just cry and cry an cry but when I put down stairs, he's perfectly fine, please tell me what to do, I want him to be comfortable on our whole house and not just downstairs
I’ve been using my body to try to keep him walking straight, to my left, loose leash. Long story short I need to teach myself how to walk before I try to teach the doggo. I gave him a nudge, stepped up, Missed the curb, and splat, fell on my hands and knees. Good news: He stayed right with me, “helping” me get up.🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this! I have a Shiba I adopted at 5 months and quickly realized he was not as socialized as he should be. We couldn’t walk down the street because he was so scared of the parked cars. Practiced this inside the house and in the backyard and front yard. Same day we made it down the street and around the block for the first time! He’s finally getting a good walk.
"Dogs aren't supposed to be in charge." My dachshund didn't get the memo ;-)
Very informative video, thanks!
Hey there. So this is so this is a common misconception popularized by traditional dog trainers that rely on tools to make life unpleasant when their dog does not perform as desired. Here's a video that will explain the dominance myth: ==> BestDogTrainingProgram.blogspot.com
You have to remember Dachshunds are not dogs. Heaven knows what they are. I can't imagine not having 1. They just ......
I love and 1/2 dachshund and 1/2 Chihuahua
I’m here because of a dachshund too lol
My Blue healer either lol
ok, I have to say it; you are simply the best live trainer yet. I LOVE the fact that you are showing everything to do in real time, unedited, practical, simple, etc. THANK you for sharing what you're doing in this way.
Thanks, Grace, I appreciate you watching!
Unedited is so honest and believable. It helps me believe I can do it to
Not even close.
A dog that doesn't have to worry about being 'in charge' is a happy relaxed dog. Dogs don't want to be in charge, it's stressful, so take the pressure off them and be a leader. Outcome? A happy, calm relaxed dog 😊
Who will allow any intruder into the home as long as they have a treat bag
@@bearbear4030 huh?
@@bearbear4030 an anxious dog isn't going to do that, they're going to pee. Great home protection 🙄
OUTSTANDING training video. We watched this for less than 10 minutes then took our 5 YEAR OLD Golden Retriever (Leo) for walks.
It took only 2 days, and Leo is listening and responding CONSISTENTLY. He also demonstrates a MUCH calmer demeanor.
We now have the same affectionate/loving Leo, who sees us in charge and loves it.
He’s not anxious, there is no lease pressure when walking, and we look forward to walks and outings at least 3-4 times per day.
This is life changing for our family and friends. TRY THIS - YOUR DOG AND YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER LIFE!
Ahh this is great! So sweet when he offered up his paw 😭
Chloe D’Alessandro I know it!! What a a sweet boy, he’s a natural in front of the camera!
Always count on SNOOP DOG

At the end the dog looks a lot more relaxed, well done.
Thank you for the clarity of your instructions as to how to get my dog to focus on me instead of everything else around him!
What a beautiful dog.... in 5 minutes that dog's mind just completely let go and was far more comfortable than we started. Your videos are so fun to watch. I don't even have a dog! But I'm learning for when I do :)
Im so glad I found your videos. This has helped immensely in training my dog.
Thanks SO much for sharing this! Separation anxiety in dogs is much more common than people think! Leaning all about it is a step to helping our beloved pets! We make music and TV for pups, that can help in these situations too! Keep up the good work!
Amazing how this little exercise builds trust and respect from the dog.
The paw offering said it all! Wonderful!
These videos really encourage me to build relationship with my dogs and to be the leader they deserve. Thank you so much!
i've started doing this exercise with my dog recently and have seen instant results. i will keep at it, thank you for the videos
I love that you made sure to point out that dog listens to you bu that doesn't mean that he loves you better than his owner.
Thanks so much. Just a few short sessions tremendously helped our severely anxious rescued greyhound now in his 5th home in 6 months. With these tips he's has found his last home.
Hi! I watched this video last night and did this technic this morning and we got a huge progress!! No pulling, just let my dog choose her decisions! Thank you🖤😭 this video means a lot for me and my dog relationship
Wow I love how you explain why or what creates an axious dog. It makes a lot of sense. I'm an anxious and insecure person and my dog is as well and I always feel like she feeds into that. I hate that she has to feel like she's got to make decisions. I'm going to try this trick with her. She's 9 but it's never too late to learn and make progress
This is such a great tool for dog owners! I have learned so much about positive training without having use treats. Thank you! 👍🏼😊
Love it when he gives you his paw. Had to watch that bit again! So sweet.
Ok thats nice and all but
ITS SNOOOP DOG
His body language changed so much at the mid point of the video! Engaged and learning to trust. Awesome. You are helping me keep my, very traumatized, rescue dog at home with the people who love him and who he feels safe with. He has some rear and confidence issues that have caused unending difficulties for our family. These videos are helping me learn about myself enough to shape him into complete and stable dog. Thank you so much! He is the best dog, I am the unstable one!😆
OMG @6:37 melted my heart. What a sweetie! I need a Snoop dog in my life, LOL.
Such a sweet doggy 🥺💜 when you held out your hand and he put his paw in it, I could’ve cried 😭🤧💜💜💜
There is a 10 month old pup in Dublin that’s going to wake up to whole new world tomorrow! Fair play to your work. Outstanding neat, direct instructions.
So cute! He gave you paw voluntarily without asking. Great tips. Learning so much from you, love all your videos! Very inspiring. Thank you!
Someone trained that. That’s not some inherent response
Finally a dog training video I completely agree with. I used this exact technique to teach my fear aggressive mastiff to loose leash walk. It works. She can roam, stop and sniff, walk either side of me, in front or behind but she knows not to pressure on the leash. This has made our 7 yrs of walking daily together an enjoyable and bonding experience.
I prefer to think of our relationship as a partnership rather than a human dominating a dog.
I love that you can actually see the pup relaxing as the exercise goes on!
Cool
Thank you so much. I have a Boxer Mix who is fearful of strangers, loud noises and consequently he barks at everyone who walks by. Walking him is a challenge since we are probably going to run into people and hear loud cars etc.. I just found your channel and I am going to do this starting today. A lot of other training videos do a lot of talking about the issue and very little actual training of the human. Again, thank you.
Thank you❤❤ I learn so much more from you then the trainers I've worked with ❤
My 8 month old GSD and I are doing so much better ❤
Thanks Virginia :)!
Thank you so much for taking this one step at a time for us newbies. I just adopted a 1 yr old bull terrier mix and she is deathly afraid of everything. She comes when called but not with confidence, she cowers. Sometimes she runs back into her kennel if it's anything uncomfortable. Any advice will help. Thank you!
Thank you very much, Trainer Tom. Worked a miracle on our 15 Months old girl Goldendoodle in literally 2 days - significantly better in her letting me make the decisions than before. Immensely appreciate the real-time video as it was crystal clear on what I should do and steer her away from making her own decisions while walking. Thanks again, Sir.
Amazing to watch! just got a 5 months old rescue pup who is nervous (not aggresive) and have never learned to walk in a leash this i beautiful
Love your videos. I’ve used them to “tune up” my 11 year old GSD. Shes doing great. Thanks!!
Yes! Awesome, glad to hear!
When my dog is stressed or anxious about anything, running her through commands helps distract her from whatever is making her anxious. She can get that anxious energy out and think about something else. Also, emitting cool, calm, and confident vibes helps to give them cues about how they should feel in a situation. Within a few minutes she relaxes, however she is not nearly a stressed as this dog is.
I can’t believe how different of a dog he is from the beginning of this video and the end. At start he is so uptight I can feel it. At the end he is obviously relaxed! He actually looks relieved!!! Wow !!!! I’m so happy for him. These are the dogs that get unjustly labeled “bad” and end up put down. Look at him so relaxed! I’m so glad I found your channel. My dog Henry will thank you later. Lol
This is why I train. Makes me smile so big inside, just seeing the real dog inside, start to come through.
The best dogtainner I ever saw. Great way to explain it and real dogs with problems. Perfect!
Thank you for the kind words Salva! :)
He even named it SNOOP
SNOOP DOG
Incredible video. We have an anxious dog and she doesn't get a lot of exposure to people and other dogs secondary to Covid restrictions. Thank you! This video is exactly what I was looking for and needed. :) Wonderful to see your work with dogs.
We have a puppy. She’s almost a year. Since the lockdown in Canada she’s gotten super anxious, especially with people. We are doing what we can to keep her confident and meeting ppl. It’s super hard though.
Big stress yawn, very tight tail at first. After working him, his tail became looser, his eyes got softer, started really looking up at you and I LOVE how he offered you his "hand". Lots of good stuff here for people to learn from and learn the signals. Nice!
Amazing video !!! My dog has so much anxiety ever since he was a pup when I rescued when he was a stray, due to that I made the huge mistake of feeling bad for him & not putting boundaries & rules for him therefore causing him to have more anxiety & I never realized this until now that I see his overly anxious insecure behavior this is why it’s so important for them to see you as a leader & trust you because they are more relaxed when they don’t feel the need to lead themselves ! I want to build a relationship where he trust me more & sees me as his pack leader because I love him & i want him to be relaxed & happy & being able to socialize with other dogs & humans, Ty for the raw video , my babies a sweetheart & he has never bitten me or anyone & I want to steer him in the right direction !!😁
Another great video from Tom. Great to see the dogs tail relax as you start making the decisions . Great work . Thank you : )
Thanks Laura!
Love this! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Were you looking for its name too
SNOOP DOG
Thanks for posting these videos. We just got a 5 year old Malamute, who has been trained, but when we take him out he pulls. These videos are heaven sent ! He's a good dog with a big heart, he's just been neglected by a shelter environment.
It was so sweet when he put his paw on you like, Thanks Pal! Too sweet I don't even have a dog, but I thoroughly enjoy your work and trying to learn more about canine behavior.
This was really helpful! Thank you so much.
In the beginning, tail tucked under. A few minutes later when he wasn't making the decisions, tail is relaxed and he's feeling better. Simple and beautiful.
boooshes thank you!!! I agree I’m happy with it!
I noticed it too!! Great!
I've just found this channel and I have to say It's been a huge help with my dog.
Bruh evryone talking about how this helps but whats about the dogs name
ITS SNOOP DOG
This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you for you expertise I can already see a difference in my dog
What a boy! He gave you his paw, he really is beginning to trust you.
Nope, sit and paw are probably the only things the owners teached him, so as soon as Tom prompts his hand with palm up he'll comply
@@MrPunkLaughsLast Dogs don’t do that stuff with people they don’t like.
You make this look so easy! Our fear aggressive dog is getting better, but it’s a LOT of work!
I love how he offers his paw for shake! ❤️
S S first time out too! He will come around for sure! Im happy to hear you guys are doing better!
so much work and you must do it every day
A problem I had was staying calm with the dogs and by acting confident and calm you get better results from them
Ok, so far I have implemented this to a 30 min training session with my cockapoo and it works so far! We have had people go past and her focus was on me for once and the walk. Haven't had a dog go past yet, so will try that next session. She was attacked last year by a dog, so nervous of them by barking in their face and pushing them away (never bites) but I need it to stop, even if it is just on lead. So far, I can vouch for this technique! No other technique worked, but this! Ahhh! Finally getting somewhere, such a relief! Thank you!!!
Wow. This finally made sense. My girl feels like she is in control and has to protect herself. She should be watching me and following me. This has helped.
Thank you so much for this video! Does this same training apply to open environments? My dog gets super anxious when we leave her "comfort zone" for walking, so she walks really well as long as it is in her known path. Crossing to the next street is impossible.
What I noticed was that his tail was between his legs when the dog was making his own decisions. When Snope was paying attention to the guy his tail was relaxed. So not being in charge made the dog happier for sure. He a good dog.
you are so awesome! today was the first time me and my husband was able to walk my dog after having her for a year. she was so afraid of walking out of the door. she is a husky malamute mix. i am disabled and not very strong so the popping allowed me to take control over the directing we go without her pulling me and making me fall because i have poor balance. thank you very much.
We should always talk about body language so owners don't mistake fear reactions for aggression or vice versa. Thank you for making these videos, they're great!
As I was typing my question I figured out the answer after I read it...rofl. Anyways , your videos are awesome and thank you for all the hard work you do to help puppers and their owners!
Enrique Gomez lol! Awesome to hear thanks for watching. :)
That is an amazing coincidence, I did the exact same thing. Spent 5 minutes typing and then deleted it all because the answer was clear.
Thank you for your video. My 1yr. Dog just started signs of anxiety and I'm fearful of walking her .
Nikki Scheff Did you just notice what you said? YOU are fearful and made your dog fearful. Take charge.
@@annecaulder9495 I half agree with you...anyone can have an anxious dog. But it's true that dogs pick up in our anxiety.
I had an abused dog that was anxious in a lot of situations. Once I had a really good relationship with him I gave him very definite boundaries and he was "looking to me" for guidance, it was easier (thesis of this video).
I would also add, however, that once I recognized his stressors, I would take proactive measures to put him at ease.
If there was a big dog walking up for example, I would call him over, far away from the path of the other dog and give him lots of effusive, positive attention, give him orders (sit, lie down, roll over, dance...whatever your dog does). That keep them very focused, plus since he liked this attention, his anxiety over this stressors wanst reinforced by my stress for him...
It's a little hard at 1st, but you being really positive in these moments goes a long way for the dog.
Distraction and positive focus, like a toddler!
Awesome!!! This is the BEST video I have ever watched on training a dog on the leash!!Thank you so much for your simple approach. I work in rescue and I am so excited to use this practical approach.
Love how Snoop kept giving you his paw! You can see he’s stressed and unsure yet is engaged w you
I needed this video so bad. Literally came here crying wondering what I’m doing wrong and you said everything I needed; down to him being mostly a companion and that he loves his owner more but does not respect them. This is Reptar to a T.. thank you for this. I just want my boy to be happy and I can tell he’s not right now.
Thank you. What age of puppy can start using that collar? Mine is same as that dog, not interested in treat when he's outside. He's panting and chocking himself when he meet other dogs. It would be great if you upload some video about controlling anxiety when meeting other dogs.
I dont have a dog yet but:
Start smaller, less distractions, a closed off lawn. Meet one dog at a distance, take it slow. Close slow, in many sessions if needed.
If the dog is overwhelmed and wont listen, you have to back up to a managable level and build from there.
Best video I have seen on this subject, will work on that today, thanks so much!
this was very helpful. we have a 17 mo old Eng Cream Golden who presented with ALOT of anxiety after a bike incident while walking on a paseo. She's highly anxious and resistant to going on walks now. working with dog psychologist to rehabilitate. thanks!
Love your videos. Very similar teachings to Cesar Millan. I did this with my rescue dogs, moved up to I think a 30 ft leash, and now they follow off leash now just like if they had a leash on. Thanks for sharing.
CamphorPhenol thanks for stopping by! ❤️
There are some similarities, but this guy interprets the dogs body language a bit more accurately than Cesar, and uses less intimidation and more rewarding to get desires behavior.
Love the videos! You are very talented and knowledgeable! I am dealing with fear aggression with my dog. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks so much, Brittany, I would continue to watch and learn as much as you can and try applying some techniques and see if any of that helps!
Remember that foot traffic with people in the house or on walks! if he's a fear biter! Don't set him up for failure .
I'm going to try this with our dogs. Our 2 year old Border Collie is really bad... But I think this back and forth and getting the dog to pay attention to what you on is very good. Thank you for sharing
I just started my personal dog training business and have a couple nervous dogs to work with. This is such a helpful tool and can’t wait to implement it 🤗
Is rewarding whining Opposed to growling at triggering stimuli re-enforcing bad behavior or progress to less reactivity
Any tips for when your dog starts jumping up at you when you do this? We tried this with our dog and she got frustrated and started leaping up at us.
Fab videos by the way!
It's because you weren't clear enough with the leash. She turns off the pressure when she jumps into your arms.
Simply put, you're using too much pressure. You don't realize it, but you likely are having your arm about halfway correction at all times.
You need to be extremely binary with the leash pressure
It would be awesome if you could show how to introduce your dog to new people at home.
Admittedly, I'm one to let my dog make his own decisions based on this training. I suffer from anxiety and depression, and I'm pretty darn sure my dog can feel that! Because of my own insecurities, I feel I'm being "mean" when I train or try to make him do something he clearly is a bit more stubborn to comply to. But in reality, I've been cultivating his own anxiety by not being that "rock". I hear many times be "firm, but fair." Thank you for your help in this and your gentle demeanor towards their wonderful pup!
Definitely a new subscriber. I LOVED this video and looking forward to watching more. Cheers to you!
Thank you so much for sharing this video! We have a 6 year old anxious beagle who spent most of her years living indoors and now we’re training her to walk outside. It’s hard because we live in NYC. She’s easily frightened by any sound (buses, loud cars, shuffling trash, sirens, trains, etc) and immediately goes into fight or flight mode when she hears them. Would this technique also work with a harness? She reverse sneezes uncontrollably every time we use a regular collar (since she pulls on it so much).
Hi! My pup is experiencing similar fear of traffic/city sounds - did anything help your dog?
@@atraasdou4390 do you have a old jacket you don't care about, now fair warning this is some five minutes craft shit, use a old thick padded sweater/coat to make a happy hoodie, basically just cut the sleeve to the size of their head so it slips in comfortably, put the collar on above it enough to hold it in place but not enough to make correction's/directions through leash unable to be deciphered, my big dog Koda has to wear his happy hoodie when there's a lot of people outside lol
My shepherd reacted so confused to the prong collar and tried to 'jump me' as you showed in one of your videos but 10min later of this exercise she was following me without the need to apply preassure and even allowed me to give her treats as a reward. I wish you'd made a video on how to do this exercise at the park as it is full of stimuli and I think it'd be a little harder. Thank you anyway this was miraculous for our dog!
Working at an adoption center, as well as Sanctuary for the bite history dogs, this video is educational
My appreciation!!!
You make this look so easy!! I just got a GSD 2 days ago. I am now his 4th owner and he is only 3 years old... I've done a little research and know it's hard on dogs that are constantly tossed around :( He is very nervous. Doesn't show aggressive behaviors, just a big baby about EVERYTHING. He also paces the room, jumps all over furniture/counters and tables, doesn't make eye contact or fully engage with anyone, will sit/lay down for only a few minutes or until someone (me especially) moves around. He is constantly by my side. I know it must be out of confusion or anxiety... the poor boy :( It has only been 2 days so I don't want to start "bringing the hammer down" per say I want him get comfortable and know this is his home now. He is such a sweet and smart boy, but I can tell separation anxiety is going to be a real thing if I can't even go to the kitchen without tripping over him. He is also intact, but we plan on getting him fixed soon. I'm not sure if any behavior stems from that as well? Any advice?? I love this channel and what you do for these babies!!
Great video. My dog is a rescue and gets nervous on walks, is scared of buses and big trucks - she cowers and moves away. She's always on leash. Will this help her to relax on walks? She won't even pee or poo on walks!
Hey, how did it go? I'm in the same situation now.
Question: would it be better to apply pressure more from the side, instead of straight from the back?
In order to redirect more than correct.
Thanx for the vid. I allways preciate your stuff.
All the best from Norway.
Yes you can do that as well!
He's wrong. Do it directly from above them. Anything else is confusing and it doesn't properly get their attention.
liked and subscribed. GREAT VIDEO!!!!! THANK YOU! my girlfriend owns a dog grooming business where she BRAGS that we only hire patient groomers and bathers. I work for her as a bather and this video has helped me learn the handler/animal relationship SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! KEEP IT UP!
Greetings, I hope all is well. The dog on video looks just like my pup 6 most. Acting fearful and anxious. Thank you. He's nice and gets happy with visitors. Out walking he barks at ppl.
How about you put distractions? I tried to walk my anxious dog outside where there's a lot of distractions and I cant really control him being fearful.
I'm having the same issue with my 8 month old! Zx
Thank you so much! I love your explanation about anxiety being caused by making decisions. I have a highly dog reactive/fearful dog. She gets along beautifully with our other dog, but if a dog walks past our house she loses it. Would you recommend keeping her leashed in the house and work in the skills you demonstrated until her reactivity is under control?

You all talk about how this help
BUT NOT HOW HIS NAME IS SNOOP ITS SNOOP DOG COME ON
Great video! Thank you! We are struggling with the same issue, especially outdoors.
I learned a lot from this video. I've only ever wanted to have a better quality of life for my dog. My 7.8 yr old Pit Mastiff mix boy is a nightmare on walks. He is skittish, insecure and fearful and MUZZLED for that fact after attacking four dogs . Four of my seven Grandchildren have always been afraid of him. Sadly, it has become a him or them issue in my home.
How would you go about training them for anxiety toward other dogs? My dog gets scared and snaps at other dogs every time we try to socialize her
Well, the hard thing is, understanding that not all dogs are okay with other dogs. I would start off with a walk together to introduce the new dog. We can make things worse by almost forcing the dog to interact against their will. So you don't want to ever correct a dog that is straight terrified, that's not a good idea. In time get your dog around dogs who pay no attention to your dog, Dog parks would be the worst idea to helo with social anxiety.
we tried the dog park and it was a baaad idea and never took her back. I'll try taking her for a walk with other dogs first. It's always hard to introduce her to meet other dogs because shes a miniature schnauzer and tenses up when a big dog gets overly excited to meet her and bolt towards her. It completely freaks her out. Thank you so much for the reply!
My dog Kody who appears on my channel definitely struggles with anxiety and wants basically to be glued to me. Thanks for sharing this!
I had my male black mouth cur doing so well with training and socializing. He could be surrounded by groups of people and soak up all the love and attention and then sit in heal or just lie down. But after I got him fixed he is the complete opposite. Scared of people and ignoring the leash. I was so bewildered but it can happen after getting a dog fixed (spay/neuter anyway! Just be prepared to build confidence again). These videos are helping me restore his confidence and happiness.
once my dog even see’s another dog he’s freaking out instantly, crying and barking obnoxiously, trying to run towards the other dog. I just need him to be good around other dogs 😩
I have the same problem. Bought an expensive shock collar, used it in two sessions with a trainer but I really don't like it. If my dog is fearful, I don't want him to be scared of shocks on top of it. To be honest, the collar training helped. I hope to get hom to be more confident without it though. Will start with basic training again... sit, stay, heel, break etc. I have two dogs, a Japanese spitz crossed with a jack russel, 16 months old brothers. One of them is pulling on the leash but is fine with other dogs, the other one is like possessed. Frustrating but I'm not giving up hope. Have you managed to make a difference with your pup?
I have the same problem. If we are in the car he jumps around like a pin ball ! It’s insane.
@@ksavage2563 my dog pulled me across the grass trying to get at another dog! I’m taking him to the dog park until he learns to stop
@@bearbear4030 that’s not gonna teach him anything and will probably make things worse. your dog is obviously leash reactive to other dogs. taking him to a dog park to naively think that this will get out of his system will do you worse than any good. he will be even more interested in meeting new dogs than he will be into you.
@@monikanagyova8834 if you and your trainer think an e collar is a shock collar then I suggest you find yourself a new trainer. e collars do not shock dogs. it is not a punishment tool, it’s another alternative language tool for your dog. think of it like it’s a tap on your shoulder but for your dog. it emits beeps, vibrate, and a stimuli. the same technology is used in medical device to contract muscle, it’s called TENS technology, look it up. if it was an electric shock that anti e collars say they are then the collars wouldn’t even be able to be waterproof.
I’m having a tough time with my dog walking him around my neighborhood once he sees any kid on a bike or skateboard sometimes even just the sound of kids playing around he gets really anxious and nervous and all he wants is to pull me all the way home and if we someone walking on the same side of the sidewalk it kicks his fear up a notch. Please help 🙏🏽
Again, amazing! I’m working with a small Portuguese Podengo Cream
Colored. It’s near Impossible to get him to do this out doors.
He walks at my heel thanks to this technique but he still ignores me beyond that and won’t take any food from my hand not matter how hungry.
I just adopted a 9 month old golden retriever with little to no training. He was adopted by his previous owner along with his brother. They were bonded and we're experiencing separation anxiety but working on things. This video was very helpful in relaxing him and has enabled us to start working on our 7 basic commands so thanks for that. I subscribed knowing that it will help him immensely. I look forward to future videos.
How's your retriever doing right now? I'm having this issue with mine. I know it's been 2 years but what's progress been like?😅
Well... My two small dogs are the ones calling the shots at home >.
When do you use a prong collar versus a slip collar?
Negative reinforcement doesnt help. If you still have troubles with a slip, use a martingale or a harness. Having control of their face helps tremendously
fantastic!I I own a 12 year old jack russell terrier, and he has been always a great dog (friendly, sociable, playful, active, etc) , but since last year he seems to become more and more fearful of everything. He first started avoiding larger dogs, than bicycles, became terrified of bicycles bells, hates to go out for a walk (I have to carry him outside, and he drags me inside), and now he even hides when he listens someone opening the fridge's door.
So I haven't interacting much with him lately when he is at home (giving him all the peace I believe he wants), unless when he shows up and wants some attention or company (or food). I'll definitely try doing this exercise to improve interaction and command. Lets see how it goes.
Thanks for the tip!
I come to these videos, because I have an anxiety dog. I've had my rescue for about 10 months now and she has gotten much, much worse. When either my boyfriend or I leave, she goes crazy in her kennel. We walk her, play with her, has a schedule that I work for her. Once I leave, it is a whole different ball game. I still live with my parents. So does my brother. They can not stand my dog nor will do ANYTHING with her. My dog, Zoey, has shown aggression from fear due to them being mean to her. Dog training is something I take a big interest in. I learn so much from your videos of any case. I know my Zoey has separation anxiety. I know that I need to make her kennel a safe and happy place for her. That once I leave I am not gone forever. I will be back! She likes to chew, scratch, and whine/bark in her kennel while my family is home. It can become so bad that they have to leave the house. I have also asked my family to help show they are not fearful people. To this point, I am not quite sure what to do anymore. I have thought about getting her to a vet ASAP. I just moved to my area and while this pandemic going on, it is frustrating with the new policies set in place. Perhaps you have any advice?
