      Love your videos! You have a great way of explaining so that me as a pet owner can be mindful of what I am doing. Our pup name is Myla she is a 10 year old bulldog mix- we are from Houston Tx- will you be in our area at any time? Our girl is very excitable and is very much dog selective and she is very very strong and doesn’t walk on a leash well.

    • @maddywall6198
      @maddywall6198 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Sort of… I’ve also seen people let little dogs fend for themselves amidst a bunch of big dogs. The little dog is terrified because big dogs are trampling them and not respecting their space, but the owner thinks they should “tough it out.” That’s one great way to create fearful and reactive little dogs! The world is going to be a bit scarier when you are tiny, so I think it takes some extra work to help them feel safe. That doesn’t mean babying though.

      @Paola B I totally relate to your comment!! Woooww 😭 We had an instance where my husband and I took our Spaniel to the park. We’ve been asked if our dog is friendly; instead, we said he was under a lot of training. People seemed to get offended as if our dog was “too good” for their dogs. In reality we want to train our dog as best we can and respect him too. Another issue is a lot of the other dogs at the park are out of control. We’ve even heard of instances where people end up upset because one dog hurts the other…so my husband and I just keep to ourselves with our pup…so yes I just wanted to say how much I related when I saw your comment.

      @@daniyvette25 I completely get you! The odd look like there's something wrong with my dog after I decline for them to "say hello". I've shouted at people, purely for distance audibility reasons, to get their dog on the leash as it's running over to us, ignoring the owner's recall. Worst one was a huge GSD barking and lunging toward us before slipping out of her harness and charging at my dog when he was tiny and only a few months old (he's a Rottie/small terrier mix). I managed to grab the dog by it's collar (realise that's stupid, but... adrenaline... and luckily she was "friendly" ) while the owner slowly strolled over to get her all the while saying "oh don't worry, she just wants to play"... honestly struggling to think of a way to socialise my dog with others in a safe way with these idiots running around - might find a training class (although his obedience is gold star, thanks to Tom's videos 😊 ) purely to be able to desensitise my pooch in a controlled environment. Gosh, this turned into a long message!!

    @pinkfire2344 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Videos like this are so important for dog owners. So often small corrections are all a dog needs to fix their behavioral issues, but if you take them to a vet all you're going to get is medication. Vets are not animal behaviorists. That's not what their training entails. You don't go to the same doctor you'd go to treat your bronchitis for your weekly mental therapy sessions, so don't go to a vet for behavioral problems. They treat the physical body, not the mind. I would absolutely go to the vet to rule out any medical issues that could be the root cause of the unwanted behavior, though. That's very important.

    Fluoxetine can’t be “weaned off for a day”. It’s an SSRI that builds up in the system so missing a day isn’t going to stop the affects for that day. It takes anywhere from 3-6 weeks for it to show it’s full affects unlike a tranquilizer like Trazodone that kicks in in 30-45 minutes then only lasts for however many hours then it wears off.
    Good techniques, I use more of a routine with guests coming to the door, desensitizing the bell/knocking if there is nuisance barking, go to a place and stay, bring the person in and make them wait on place then release to say hello. I’ve found that making them wait on place can build the anticipation to say hi which gets them a reward.
    Glad to see this little guy doing better! Behavior modification is such a rewarding profession I don’t think I could ever do anything else ❤️ I love seeing the progress and knowing that I’m making a difference.

I immediately weened him off the medication and have been working with him ever since as he is a fearful dog and behaves much as this dog in the video. After watching many of your videos, I began using these behaviour modifications to install confidence and to correct the things I was doing wrong. For the first time, I am seeing results and appreciate that you explain the "how and why's" instead of just saying "Do this, do that." Kudos to you and I will continue to watch and learn :)

It seems if positive only doesn't work then it's Vets putting them on medication. People need to train their dogs . Make the time to do it and do it the right way. No excuses. Good owner for choosing the right path by seeing you. Great work Tom. Thank you : )

(We don't always like everyone and want people in our personal space, continue to advocate and realize your dog--or kids --don't have to like it either. They just need to be "polite" about it!)

    I followed a similar training ark. At first he reacted 9/10 times (dog, person, cat, etc.) After treats only training he was down to 7/10 times. After a year of enforcing constant boundaries(consequences good and bad) my dog had the confidence that he only reacts 1/100 times if an old trigger is present. And after now 5 years later he has a handful of dog friends he plays with and the rest he ignors and avoids.

    Our little chihuahua mix is doing the same thing. She was a rescue when we got her 4 yrs. ago. Lately she seems more frightened than ever when anyone comes in the house. I'm going to try your technic on her . Her name is Rosie & she is the sweetest little girl around us. We just want her to be comfortable around everyone.

    Found your videos about a week ago and I’ve been binge watching them. You don’t just tell someone what to do, but you take the time, and sometimes extra time, to explain why you do it. We literally just moved out of Albany, too. So it’s nice to essentially be getting advice from a “neighbor.” Keep up the good work. You’ve definitely gained a follower.

    Loved "Stranger Danger"...I've said that exact phrase for decades dealing with Aussies and clients understanding the triggers and what reserved with strangers as a breed standard is all about!

    So happy to see the pup doing great! Small steps make big differences. I’m glad mom didn’t give up. With more practice mom and dog will get better.

    I love seeing a trainer work with reactivity in a small dog. I own a small dog, and know many more, and do not like it when people ignore how their dog is feeling because they are not a threat. It really sucks. Do better people. Train your dog no matter the size. Thank you Tom for advocating for small dog training.

    Tom, thank you for helping us with our 9 yr old lab mix and her leash pulling and reactivity. Now we come to you with a new 1 yr old rescue little mix. This video is pure gold. Watching it with my husband and each kid.

    I started following you when your were just a pup yourself - you’ve honed a new look and aged well. I just wanted to comment on the tshirt logo: DOG TRAINING IS ART. Yes, you’re an amazing artist AND you also really excel in the art of training people. Your internal muzzle, like a dog’s muzzle, protects others so they can listen and learn. Dogs and people alike are grateful you found your purpose.

    Like how relaxed you are in every situation & how you teach owner's to do the same. You're very patient & I get frustrated/worried when I don't grasp what my trainer is trying to teach me, but your response to this type of situation is rewarding & relaxing to me. Thank you 😊 This helps encourages me to keep at it. Currently have a insecure 7 month old doberman pincher, I believe bc of her barking/vocal a lot & it's not at one thing or situation.
