You're only a bad dog owner when you think your dog can do no wrong. I have met those people. They are bad dog owners. They feed their dog the most expensive, organic high quality food, they flood it with everything they think it needs. But they don't bother training it, or teaching it, or setting rules for it, because apparently it's cute that it's so excited and it wants at everyone and everything all the time. Now that's a bad dog owner. An-always frantic excited dog with no boundaries has a low quality of life.

There was one terrible Boston Terrier who lived in my neighbourhood. It was awful. It hated people but mostly it hated children. One day it ran after my son, raging with anger for whatever reason (the owners always let it get away). I was yelling at my son to run, climb the rock get away from that dog! And the owner was sprinting down the street after the dog, screaming her head off. Don't worry. she screamed, he's friendly, he won't bite!! Is she insane?? People can be absolutely clueless.

What if you have no one to help you? They are afraid of strangers so anyone I could find to help sould be an additional stressor. I'm struggling.

I have a possessive black lab. I try this, but it ends up being a waiting game when the tug is still (or dead). I can hold it still for over a minute or two ro more and she is not letting go. I don't give up, but it goes no where. Any advice?

I can't believe I clicked on this right now. It is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Nice to finally see a trainer on KZbin who knows what they're talking about

Good content, thank you !

Yep. "Life rewards" are a missed reward system to many

Hello I am the first comment

My dog follows me everywhere. Recently, he’s been marking in the apartment poop and pee. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Absolutly true four dogs were extremely frustrated because they were hungry and they were overwhelmed at the day care. They just wanna to go home so I held both as long as I could hoping someone could see n come help but no one heard anything so I free one to hit the emergency bottom and the sweet Angel came back to bite the dog I was holding n got the back of my hand instead. 11 stitches

Ok, but - is this even socialization? How do you help Tom to advance beyond this in real life?

How do you get your dog to stop reacting to get to this point? My dog is deaf and he's just getting worse. I'm at my witts end.

great explanation.Even though the subject is consistency, would be nice to have an example of what to do to create new pathway.

Do you recommend a certain muzzle?

My dog wants to keep things like this in sight a lot so Im not sure she would allow be to stand between her and the trigger. I've tried this before and she continuously moves her head to see and won't listen to me, as if she has to be on alert and mr facing her signals I'm not aware of the threat. She also tries to scent the air a lot. People aren't a trigger on their own. Its more like random figures in the distance or people staring at her for an extended period without showing friendliness to her (eye contact with pats and love is fine). Generally people she's fearful of aren't trying to approach her (that's actually what she sees as part of the problem) so I don't know how I can stand between a lot of the time.

Good content, thank you !

Love this!

You're 100% wrong on this one I was with you on a lot of your videos but you are wrong. you have obviously never built a foundational connection with a dog. Maybe too much dog energy as far as training dog training energy and nothing else to balance it. maybe your problem as a human that is too logical. to say that they don't have, are they are less than human, and in fact they are more than. You are wrong but you have marketed yourself very well. You do make some valid points on some of your other videos. But you are 100% wrong. The latest research shows that dogs actually do have human emotion. Might want to check that out

Thanks, I'm gonna try this!!!

How do you know how to balance advocacy with desensitization? For example, my dog is fine in public being around people but doesn’t like to be approached. Will I always have to accommodate that fear or will there be a point where I should push him a little to help him overcome that?

Me realizing I made my dog more reactive by trying to socialize him as a puppy ☹️ damn.

Trans person but to which gender?

and the third one that is "hello hello hello hello" sounds the same but is completely friendly.

I have a GSP who is super reactive to everything and everyone anywhere near our property. He just wants to protect "his stuff" and in doing so he looks super aggressive in the hopes of turning people around. This is great if it were only for intruders and people with bad intentions but he even flips out on people walking across the street probably 100ft away! I can't imagine how the delivery drivers feel 😔

THOSE CAGES CRAZY TOUGH FOR SMALL DOGS😢

I actually understood everything she said. Including the barks.

Damn! She works with dogs that she even can bark like them. Nice job. I just learnt something in this short vid

Thank you for not having advertising on your channel, it is very professional 😊

Honestly it breaks my heart because our dog never gave signs, when he was a puppy he loved people and never had a bad experience, but all of a sudden he started to bark at people and be very fearful reactive 🥲 I don't know what happened...

I was just now teaching "Drop it" to one of my students!

WTH!! Unbelievable! Thats a lot of talking, I know you're going to use an e-collar What's the underlying issue with the two dogs?

Great info, not sure how viable this is as a shelter volunteer but I wish it was. 😅

Thank you for posting this. Great for us to see.

What a great teaching session for us the humans. Thank you

when will people understand 2 females in one household is a bad idea

Please could you do a video on potty training, I saw ur TikTok and ran to KZbin in hopes for more advice 😭

My dog has an insane prey drive. Shes obsessed with lizards in the backyard whether theyre there or not. She pacea around, panting and has all of the other amxious features described. How do i help her?

i wish i would have known about your training methods..i trained leo for leash pulling and started playing tug more disciplined way..thanks

This was SO helpful in my training of our 6-month old Cockalier puppy. She has decided to stop listening to me lately and with this game, I've seen her snap back into respecting me (more). I find it so hard to consistently be a leader when she is so strong willed. She eats everything outside - rocks, leaves, bugs, sticks, snails. It is so hard to get her to focus on training when we are outside because she is super distracted by the environment. Thank you for the great training demo!!

It would be helpful if you explained what you were doing. What is the dog doing when you say yes? Making eye contact? Or is it something else?

Excellent information on this video, I have a 6and a half male spaniel mix that I rescued 4 and a half years ago and every time I have walked him on my street he always barks at people and children and I have to restrain him when they get close to me but he is a very sweet and loving dog with me and my wife and thanks for the info on this video, I will be doing that with my dog ❤️😎👍

❤ thank you so important

What if they do not let it go? It did not work for my dog , the dog still keeps holding firmly until I become tired and release it. He growls at the same time

I happend to be the thing in the way one time got me on the neck but I took 7 years od karate I backed away wrong 😅 it was more my fult

Thanks for the advice!

Excuse me,.... that's a stuffed dog...

Exceptional

Question: What if they don't let it go? I have a dog that is very prey driven and reactive toward the cats. So I bought him a teaser toy which was like a stick, rope and stuffed toy that squicks. He is as obsessed with the toy as he is with the cats. I will try your method and perhaps change to the tug you had. Thank you.
