    I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but I've watched probably 20-30 episodes of this now and there is such a difference between the British episodes and the American episodes. In the American episodes you can definitely tell that Victoria and the families have been coached on what to say. The British episodes feel so much more natural and organic. I also feel like more British families are willing to accept responsibility for their dog's behavior (i.e., "I'm the reason why my dog does this") whereas more of the American families seem clueless about their dog's behavior.

      aggression is a response behaviour, she focuses on giving other options of responses, ie turn away and other things. helping the dog have different responses. the aggression will subside when it does not feel insecure and threatened.

    is turn away the same as leave it? looks like it to me but then why change the cue? also wish they would teach the other dogs the cues as its not gonna work so well if just one dog turns away but the other isn't as it could still lead to a fight in theory. just my own personal thoughts on it. the rest is good. i totally agree with the retractile leash issues. i don't understand why they are so popular still but that's just me.

    • @kimyoonmisurnamefirst7061

    • @jadecoolness101
      @jadecoolness101 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Could be that the owners preferred saying "turn away" over "leave it." It's their dogs and they're going to have to say the commands all the time. Doesn't really matter what the phrase is, it's a dog, they don't understand words. The command could literally be "klondike bar" and it'd still work just as well, because you're simply teaching the dog "when I say these words, you do this action"

    • @m6666

      the phrasing is conventional, really, it's just what's more convenient in the specific case.
      for example, our Astro is very curious of new things, and his first approach is tasting them 😅
      so we almost immediately associated "leave it" to the concept of "don't eat that random sh*t on the ground, is bad for you"...
      we got him from a bad case of neglect, and in the first few months at home he used to sooth his separation anxiety through mouthing (mainly munching my husband shoes, preferably with his foot inside 🤷‍♀).
      to avoid confusion, instead of "leave it" we decided with his trainer to use the command "drop".

      It's not if you use a basket muzzle so they can pant and drink water. However, it's just a tool to keep other dogs and people safer. It doesn't address the problem or the dog's anxiety. You have to combine it with training.

      No its a safety measure. Untill you know your dog you should use a muzzle

    • @KazukoLight
      @KazukoLight ปีที่แล้ว +7

      So I'm a veterinary assistant. We will put the muzzle on if a dog tries to go at us or bite or just showing super nervous and anxious energy just in case since they will most likely attack us out of fear and this just doesn't give them a chance and keeps us safe.
      Dogs will fight the muzzle sometimes but a lot of times they eventually give up out maybe because it isn't worth the energy, it kind of keeps them not really calm but at least under control.
      Like someone else mentioned it isn't really a complete solution to their aggression but sometimes it's the only option especially if the pet has attacked before and won't seem to change. Muzzles are good to use when doing nail trims or bathing if your pet is a spicy fur baby, though you can help them get used to things like this by touching their toes and getting them used to whatever you are doing from a young age or just working to make it positive.
      You can also use a gentle lead which does some of the same thing as a muzzle which is controlling the mouth and head especially on a walk.

      *moderator* Muzzles are very important safety equipment for specific situations to keep everyone safe and you can actually train a dog to enjoy wearing a muzzle so it is not something they will be stressed about if it's ever needed. Basket muzzles are best because you can feed a dog treats through them and when conditioned properly, a dog will happily stick their face in, just like a dog may get excited when they see their harness to go for a walk. If you do not train a dog to like wearing a muzzle, it can be stressful for them.
      Hope this helps clarify the best ways to use muzzles and how they can be perceived as a good thing to a dog.
