I rescued a 4 yo dog that was abused literally 5 days ago and I can tell a male abused him because his demeanor is night and day with me and my wife any other tips on gaining trust would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@aysusafarlee7903]

I think my dog doesn’t trust us. He bites sometimes, he snaps, but he lets us pet him. I searched this video because he was in his favorite spot and i went to lay with him. But he made a distance. And i felt he was scared. He wanted to go to another place.And I don’t know, i really love him and i cried for this. I want him to love us and trust us.

[@urmom-sw7cq]

Same I think my dog dislikes me ;-;

[@drizzl8899]

Don't try too hard. It took quite awhile to establish a deep bond with my dog. Respect his needs learn his behavior and let it develop naturally. Earning your dog's trust takes work effort and patience. There is no real speed up to make him love you and force will never work

[@aysusafarlee7903]

@@axiian1914 thank you so much! He is Husky and we got him from a breeder. I think, i know the problem. My sisters plays roughly with him, even tease him to bite, snap. I really hate hoe they do it. Or else he is soo cute and calm boy.

[@aysusafarlee7903]

@@axiian1914 I have bunch of talks with them.. They just mess with him. The day before yesterday, He woke up and came to our room, and She offered him a biscuit, He started making "grrrr" and wanted to bite her. I went to front of her and he calmed down. He is soo good and nice. I talk nicely and good with him, when we are together we are in peace. And he loves me too. He let me touch him while sleeping. And dont know, he is soo good. I just love him😭

[@noreen569]

My dog got scared at a car show. She was with my husband and sons. I wasn’t with her. (90% of the time I am) A guy was making his car backfire over and over. Everyone saw she was scared and made a huge deal over her. After that she was shaking and refusing to get out of our car in parking lots. She has come a long way but still watches cars drive by like they are out to get her. She runs and hides when my son starts his corvette. When she is in the car and hears louder engines she forces herself into the front seat (she is 70 pounds) That is dangerous on the highway! How do I make her feel safe? I keep hearing “don’t coddle her” “make her tough it out” “don’t feed into it by telling her it is okay to act that way” what do I do? Is it okay to baby her? If she gets scared when we are walking I just shorten her leash and keep walking ad try to get her attention. Idk I don’t want to leave her home.

Thanks for the video ! My dog is a bichon , he gets crazy when a visitor come to our house ! He literally gets CRAZY and i actually dont know how to fix this , but imma try those tricks for sure ! Ps: when he was younger , he was with othet people i actually dk how they used to treat him but i guess that the acts he's doing now can simply define that there was a trust issue when he was a puppy

Trick to build trust haha

[@VENADO_MAZISO]

With trust and a strong relationship with your dog will he protect you on instinct?

[@vibhudeshmukh4502]

Of course

[@pidgevr8689]

Dogs are protective animals, even if it is there owner/ owners family. They will protect anyone they know/love/trust. I hope that awnsers your question.

[@mikenguyen5771]

@@pidgevr8689 False. Protection is trained into the dog. It’s not automatic.

Yes if you want a dog to protect you, build trust. They will protect you if they respect and love you as a family and friend

[@jiashun5453]

When I try to tell my dog that I love him by looking through his eyes, he looks away what does that mean and if it something bad can you help me?

[@youreaeejit511]

dogs can see staring as a threat , so I wouldn't suggest doing that.

[@happycamper3561]

Eye contact is different than a stare down. You want to teach your dog to make eye contact with you. This is usually done with positive reinforcement using the command “look”.

[@PurposefulPursuits]

Would you still recommend this for someone who adopts a dog from a rescue shelter? It would I wait a while before trying to feed from my hand?

[@doggydudekyle]

Main points in vid - feed food from hands - training dog -be clear with what you want for you dog and how you’re going to do that with them. Communicate that with your dog -Provide for them. Communicate with them. Give them security and comfortability - have a harmonious relationship with your dog. Work together. -have cuddle, bonding, quality time

[@dees.dv.4796]

Awesome video! I have a very strong bond with my sweetie. My "problem" with his behavior is he gets EXTREMELY overly-excited with new people!! he is a big boy so looks a bit scary (he is not scary btw! he is a total baby!). Any videos on how to get him to calm down around visitors?!

[@GunghoDogTraining]

yeah that would be a good video. I usually recommend some form of place training or crae training for this so you can send the dog over to their place when someone arrives and keep the dog there until they have calmed down or your visitor can go over to great them.

[@jedsanford7879]

So I would say work on the down and sit command with very high value treats. I mix some kibbles with some hamburger meat and grease to really get those snappy sits and down commands. I used it to get her to chill around our kitty. and she is great now. She is 12 weeks old now btw.

[@j.2966]

@@jedsanford7879 what would be considered a high value treat? Something they really like?

Can someone help me out with stopping my dog from biting me and the family members?

[@GunghoDogTraining]

I cover this and other impolite behaviors in my beginner obedience video course on my website. There are a variety of different techniques and it will also depend on the dog and situations they are biting. Shoot me an email at Cody@GunghoDogTraining with some more detail. Or reach out on instagram. I'd be happy to help.

How do I train my dog not to run away and she barely listens to us when we call her name and she hates it when we bring her back home she made a hole on our fence and she ran away again she always comes back but leaves again I need help please!!!

[@jisjohn3668]

Call her by name and give her treat or food. Always use her name before u giving her something, this will make her associate her name with good things. Try geting close with the dog with her fav treat and try teach her some basics like sit or lie down with lots of reward, this will make her trust you nd come back to you. Remember, patience and love is the only way.Hope this helps.

[@prhfuturetech3399]

I can't trust my dog at all. I give and give and give. I give the best of everything, but all I get is a dog that hasn't made eye contact with me once since a month ago when we got her. She out right ignores me and does the most defiant things. For example we go outside to do potty and she holds herself only to do her business inside. I am at the point where I am starting to think that I made a big mistake with her. I successfully trained many dogs but she tests me to the brink of breakdown. I go to a dark bad place that I shouldn't go to. I'm starting to feel like she hates me but why? Maybe I'm just a useless person.

[@giannab7807]

I rescued a senior dog with arthritis. I want to gain his trust for when he needs assistance with his mobility. I love the idea of feeding him from my hands but he is barely eating anything I give him (including the food he was previously eating.)

[@morganbedford195]

I’m sure you might have found a solution seeing you commented this three months ago but I just learned that mixing one spoonful of plain Greek yogurt with your dog food not only helps with their digestion but they love it! I was having same problem with my new senior dog who has arthritis in his back hips. He gobbles it up now.

I just adopted a six month husky, at first he was happy and excited but when the night time comes he gets sad, I try to comfort him but it doesn’t help. What can I do to make him trust me?

[@happycamper3561]

Huskies are a different breed and are all about play and being on the go. They HATE it when playtime is over lol. Make sure your husky puppy is as tired as possible when it’s bedtime and he will be satisfied to sleep. I used to bike with my husky on nature trails for 10 miles when she was 10 months to 2 years old. Their stamina is truly incredible.

[@allisonlevy616]

[@j.mashalevin]

I have the same problem with my dog. He preffers my partner over me and I am the one who does everything for him. Sometimes i get so frustrated and sad i am even thinking about finding another home for him and rescue a cat.

[@Kate98755]

What needs addressing is to the dog that is scared of the owner, uncomfortable with submission. My pup was so bitey, we could barely be around her, nothing worked, some suggestions made her worse. I understand now that she was over reacting, and she’s soft…so about 1.5 yrs old i tried a really quiet method and i saw a change, but she still reverts to biting when she’s over tired or hungry. She’s a herd/working breed combo, I’ve had to give her commands to settle down to sleep, But now I’m working on desensitizing her to me being right next to her, she lets me but it’s not her preference…I’m working without food because she gets really focused on my hand for the food…. Not sure how long this will take.

[@3pendont4]

I had my puppy run off when I finally was able to grab him I yelled at him and smacked him on the nose. I feel bad now and I don't want him to loose trust. how can I regain it.

[@GunghoDogTraining]

Think of your relationship like a piggy bank, every time there is something positive it fills up and something negative takes things out. Keep adding a lot of positives and it will help. Also next time have a leash or a long line on your dog so you don't have to grab them when they run off, you can just grab the leash instead.

[@3pendont4]

@@GunghoDogTraining thank you

[@HOLLYHOUSE11]

Hon, if that was true, that providing shelter builds trust, there wouldn't be so many or if control dogs in America. Dogs live happily with homeless people and trust them more than the dog that lives in a mansion, with plenty of food does. It's like Cesar Millan says... Dogs in Mexico are skinny, but they don't have anxiety problems. And those anxiety problems come from too much energy and not enough exercise you, and giving affection at the wrong time... the way you raised humans is completely different from the way you raise dogs. And people forget they don't speak English or any language for that matter. The goal is Trust, respect, love- in that order - and that comes from setting Rules boundaries and limitations. A dog is never going to trust you just because you give them food and a house

[@codename9988]

What if I had an amazing bond with my dog then got a puppy and that bond vanished although i did all the proper steps in bringing a puppy into the home.. what do i do? All the things that were special between us are gone… :*(

[@shiromaniw3527]

Thank you, I need so many tips, puppy blues were okay at first but it’s been 4 months and they go on and off...I love my baby tho!! But she has like a weird split personality, I call her other personality “Drex” her name is “Lani” but anyway, I’m starting to notice that we will be chilling ect, but in the afternoon she gets EXTREMELY exited, for no reason and we can’t stop her, walks, treats, ANYTHING but I find all my afternoons crying because of “Drex” he growls when you try to pick him up/ tries to bite (I’m not sure if he’s being playful or not, kinda like he’s being sarcastic, he will like mouth you, when he gets on his belly, and growl a little, then he puts your whole hand in his mouth if you scream, he runs away and tries to find holes in the fence and cries to go in the front, you can’t get any free time with him...he is a no chill and I love when “Lani” is on the furniture but Drex just makes it kinda uncomfortable, because he doesn’t like when you pick him up, or if you put your hand just a little close to him he will growl or try to bite, playfully and “sarcasmish” I feel like the pet when “Drex” comes out and he is only enjoyable when “Lani” comes back out We can’t control him, “Lani” has non of these problems and we want to be around her all the time because she is so enjoyable but I really hate the feeling of afternoon time when I have to open the crate and Drex is waiting for me, I literally have a breakdown right at the spot and he just comes up to me and mouths me, Drex also begs, and I haven’t had lunch in like 4 days....lol What I’m trying to say is Lani is the sweetest thing you could ask for but when she gets excited and when it’s like the middle of the day/afternoon she goes crazy and uncontrollable and I try to train her not to act up during the afternoon time, but I need a trainer because it’s not working, but during Covid-19.......I’ve had to chase Drex many times in the woods, the streets, all to save “Lani” from getting ran over and eaten bye a fox, Lani has non of these behavior problems and does well with other dogs knows lots of obedience commands and goes on walks very well! She waits for me to tell her when to go out and “place” and other tricks and obedience commands and is basically potty trained, but “Drex” doesn’t like being picked up so we have to lure him to the potty before he pees on the floor with treats, he will only do things for a treat and will not get off the couch or furniture and barks whenever he wants, maybe my dog is being possessed or som, but I think it’s just that our routine got changed because of covid, I used to play in the morning, go to work ,come back and then play some more walk for 4 hours then bedtime and she caused no problems in the house, could be left alone while I was working, but now That I’m home and don’t work from home only a few days, she is crazy in the evenings, CRAZY! maybe she’s not use to me being here? Idk but I wish Covid 19 wasn’t a thing and that Drex would go away everyday, of course Drex is “Lani” but I just wish that side of her would go away, and she would be my companion day evening, and night, not just day, and night, I really don’t know what to do at this point....maybe if I get her spayed and when she turns 2 she will be better...I just hope “Drex” goes away....please give me advice, for puppy blues, and training....maybe she needs to go to the vet?....

[@japlunkett6789]

Sounds like both dog and owner need to be re-trained!

But it’s not just food she will sit and cuddle with any of my family members but whenever I get sneak her pupils enlarge and she starts growling what to I do?

My dog is really obedient I did really really well with his training however his first year that I had him I did a horrendous horrendous job overall and he just feels like anyone that he comes in contact with he gives them that sparkly look in the eye the tail is wagging he sits right in front of them very very well behaved and happy but with me I just feel like he’s hates me for maybe the stuff I’ve done in the past but it just feels like I practically trained a dog who just hates me and he rather spend his life with someone else in it crushes me inside because of the amount of work that I put in and the complete 180 turnaround but I have also put in to myself to try to have the best relationship possible with this dog being one years old now I just don’t know what to do he just associates a lot of stress with me and maybe to physical or just not I don’t know I’m just I want to be able to know what I can do to get my dog to just when he sees me I want him to look like he does with other people happy joyful wiggly butt belly rubs he doesn’t let me do any of that
