I've been a volunteer at an animal shelter in Colorado for 2 years and work with dogs who are not yet ready for adoption. Some of them are very reactive to other dogs. Getting some of them in and out of the building for walks can be a challenge to say the least. There's no way to avoid going past other dogs, either in their kennels or in the play yards that we also must pass to get them out for walks. I've been the target of their heightened adrenalin on a few occasions. I always wear long pants and gloves and haven't been bitten very badly yet. Hope my luck holds out. It's a rewarding experience even with these challenges. Like your videos.
So glad I found this vid. After trying over & over to describe my large golden rescue's behaviour, finally finally YOU described it to a T! I adopted my now 7 year Golden 7mths ago. Trying to teach him recall outside was an absolute disaster. I'd clip the long line on then pow! He'd stand on his hind legs and come at me, biting my hands, lunging over and over until we were both exhausted. On walks, he's triggered (highly aroused and becomes a totally different dog, " boxing & biting " me. I thought it was because I won't let him meet random strangers until I can be sure he won't jump up etc. I always thought that "re-directed aggression" meant they bit you because they couldn't get to the dog (etc) that they wanted to bite, and so, with all that built up adrenaline, they bit the handler (me). But this vid clearly states that it's the adrenaline. Period. That makes much more sence to me because my dog is super friendly, and, ironically, there lies the problem! I'm only speaking about my dog in particular. If I see a "trigger " in time, the best solution so far, has been to calmly get him in a sit until the coast is clear. It's exhausting and I hope I can help him through this. Can it become a non-issue at some point, or am I dreaming?
I really need help with my gsd. He starts lunging on me every time i try to correct him from reacting to a dog. Even if its from a far, the moment i take him away he sees that as a que to react and anything i try after that is redirected at me.
As a fellow viewer I can tell you what I’m trying, if interested. My dog has been good in obedience class, doggy, daycare, and around people and dogs. But he reacts strongly to Other dogs on leashes, when we are leash walking, I have tried correcting him and it just seems to get worse either my corrections are not effective or it’s just too much for him and me -so now if he focuses on some thing or gets his hair up I just turn and go the other way. I don’t even say anything. Until we can build up, which I’m hoping we can with practice. I hope this helps, good luck ❤
This describes my acd so much. If I make any loud noises suddenly or start moving quickly he will attack my German shepherd. I have to separate them (he will keep biting her) but then they’re totally best friends within a few mins after separation (I crate him to cool down for a few mins) and reintroducing on leash. He acts like it never happened. The last time it happened was because I laughed and screamed about accidentally touching a fish while cleaning an aquarium. How can I prevent random things like that?
My sister has a female chihuahua that will fight her friend whenever she sees other dogs, I couldn’t believe what she was telling me until I came upon this video 😮
what am I giving a try? I don't feel you gave any information other than "don't let my dog get aroused in the first place". Not helpful. How exactly do I prevent that? If I have visitors to my house there is no stopping high arousal (crated, barrier, in another room, it doesn't matter, they will be aroused). What I currently do is keep them both behind separate barriers. They get arouse, yes. But the one dog isn't able to redirect. If I have people over, they will be aroused. So tell me how to prevent that...thx :) peace.
My dog has been reacting from backseat of the car when we’re going somewhere. Growls or barks at people and dogs. Tonight my husband reached around from the passenger seat and the our dog at him. Didn’t bite, but still unnerving. I’m trying to determine how to address this. So far, I can only think of having a leash on him that I can give him corrections from the front seat And or practicing by having my husband drive, and me sit in the backseat with the dog for “interruptions”. I thought about distracting with a tree, but I don’t think that’s a good idea when he’s already so hyped up. Any other advice or something I should try? He’s 5yo. PS perhaps there’s already a video I missed?
If the adrenaline does start going up (ie didn't get the chance to interrupt) is the best thing to get their attention on you and remove them from the situation? Or is it to re-direct that adrenaline onto something else, maybe chasing a ball or something?
One of my dogs does this all the time. Every time a dog passes by our fence he goes crazy and redirects aggression to one of my other dogs. I can't stop it, not does he listen to me then (knows all commands otherwise).He enjoys the yard so I am not always near him. By the time I get out he is out of control. Not sure what else I can do.

Lol my belgian malinois brought me here
Checking the thought before the doggie acts it out is key to a well behaved dog.
