I love this! Sharing for everyone I know who may need to see it. This is probably some of the most important 30 minutes a dog owner can spend today.
Nice to see an upload again!! 😊
Excellent! Thanks for not dumbing it down.
Love your videos very professional and informative.
Great knowledge as always.
This is perfect timing as I am currently dealing with an aggression issue with our puppy!
Great to see another video Ian! You're seriously best at teaching us how to train and understand our furry family members. Thank you!
Thank YOU!
Man this was a spectacular and sophisticated video. So interesting and in-depth. So informative and paradigm busting. Really impressed. I don't have these problems in my dogs, but I have learned so much watching this to understand and appreciate dog behavior. What a gift!
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Wow, I really want to thank you for this. It is obvious how much time and effort you put into a detailed video like this and I want you to know how much I appreciate your sharing so much useful information! I will certainly rewatch b/c there is so much to learn. My dog continues to struggle with reactive behavior 😃when he sees other dogs on leash. With guidance from a trainer, I've been able to help him a lot with management techniques. But those involve distracting him or moving him farther away. That's really helpful, but I do want to get to the next step of him being able to cope *without* being distracted or moved away. As you put it, we're co-regulating pretty well now but I want to help him self-regulate. As another commenter noted, it's hard to do b/c I can't predict or plan for when we'll see other dogs or how close they'll be, which direction they'll move, etc. So we'll keep working on it with the help of this incredibly valuable information. I have learned a ton from your videos and I hope you'll keep posting! And...Mr. Garvey AND Bill and Ted in one video! What more could I ask for?
Simpawtico dog training videos are the best!
THANK YOU!
Thank you! Incredibly useful video ❣️❣️❣️
Glad it was helpful!
I’m only ⅓ through the video and intently focused on the information, when suddenly I’m laughing hysterically at the A-aron reference. 🤣
Gotta love Mr. Garvey.
Yay, new video!!
Brilliant video, thank you so much for creating such a well crafted and informative production to help us with our dog's training
You are so kind! Thank you.
Great info. My puppy, as you put it, was dealing with reactive behaviors around everything. Over time, with training, he has come to accept a number of previously scary situations. His last hold out is nervousness around other dogs. It's really hard to find controlled situations where he can experience other dogs in a neutral fashion.
I hear you. Sometimes the work takes longer just because it's a challenge to find situations to practice in. Keep at it, though-slow progress is better than no progress!
Now my 14 pound, 8 year old Chihuaussie Luke will often be leash aggressive... towards most big dogs, some people (*usually they are people who turn out to be not trustworthy in my experiences), moving cars, lawn mowers, most motorcycles and a few bikes... and of course cats and SQUIRRELS!!!! And the fence at the dog park between the small and big dog sides makes a great place for him and his big dog friends to bark, growl, and snap at each other before or while they start racing back and forth along the fence. Rarely will he react to a bigger dog on the same side of the fence (whether one on the small dog side or if we are on the big dog side, the latter being much rarer due to my bad knee).
Now his younger sister Ginger from the second litter, at 18 pounds and 6 years old, is much less aggressive on the leash or the fence, LOVES people, and tolerates most dogs. Cats and squirrels are prime targets for chasing, and she spends most of her time at the dog park in a shady spot near the outside fence watching the wildlife.
I would love to walk them more like I used to do, but the knee pain can get intense.
Note that both dogs have killed mice, voles, etc... Ginger dug up and killed a chipmunk hiberating in a leaf pile (Luke tried to lick him awake for the next week, everytime we were outside... Both of them merely sniffed and licked a squirrel that ran into them... Luke likes to play with most animals, like he does with puppies... "You chase me and I chase you" or "You bark and lunge at me and I do it back,,, ad infiniteum"... Not as sure about Ginger, but she has met several baby geese and fledgelings on their own... went up and sniffed and did not attack them at all.
I have Pitbull adopted from shelter at 4yo, now 8, he’s struggling with reactive issues. We haven’t been able to have family or friends to our home in a few years and his walks are done hiking in the forest where we are much less likely to run into ppl. We can’t even walk him in our neighborhood. He’s bitten a neighbor and nipped many times at ppl in our home. We are at a loss of how to help him, we have no qualified trainers in the area. He’s great with us, our cats & most of the time neighborhood dogs who run loose, we have a large fenced in yard in the country.
I'm sorry to hear that. That's a tough situation to be in. Many qualified trainers (including us) offer Zoom sessions. It's not as good as in-person, but in lieu of someone local you may be able to at least get some stuff that'll help out.
I wish I could get someone to assess my 2 males.
