Dog Reactive American Akita | Louis | Off Leash K9 Training London

BRAVO ZULU (Congratulations) Lady !!!

[@rakitakhan]

Good job. My Akita also did great with training and socialization. He was great around other dogs and cats but he always hated coyotes. We'd frequently see one or two on our walks. We lived in Az.. They're the only animal he didn't want around. He'd always give them that "I want to hurt you look". I didn't let him of course. After a couple of encounters, the coyotes learned to stay out of his way. Khan passed in 2005 from an aggressive cancer in his chest. One day, he suddenly became weak and I immediately took him to his vet. He never showed any symptoms or signs of anything being wrong. My then wife was a vet tech and he saw the vet far more than most dogs.Three weeks later he was gone. I was devastated. He was everything an Akita was supposed to be, aside from being close buddies with a Siamese cat. He'd actually let the cat eat from his bowl WHILE he was eating. Weird cat...he liked dog food. I don't think a day has gone by that I don't shed a tear for Khan. It's been almost 15 yrs and I'm just now considering getting another Akita. They're the only breed I'll ever own. If you've ever had an Akita, you'll definately understand. I know there are other great breeds out there but the Akita stands apart. Keep up the great work in training ! Love the video !

@mark klein An Akita with cut nutz just isnt an Akita. Training and socialization is the way to go. My Max weighed 130 lbs and never attacked anything and nutz intact.

[@rakitakhan]

@Lou No, an Akita, either Japanese or American, is not a good choice for a first time owner. IMO, neither is a Rottweiler or a Doberman. If you are adamant about getting one of these breeds though, I'd opt for the Doberman.

[@aymenal-chelabi1928]

Ron Hillier wait so are you saying you should or shouldn’t get the Akita?

[@rakitakhan]

@@aymenal-chelabi1928 Thx for noticing my typo. I fixed it. I'm saying that first time owners should NOT get an Akita.

@@robertmason7553 My American Akita is fixed and he's a big boy at 137 lbs. It depends on when you fix them.

[@DerickMildred]

Impressive! This is one of the best Akita training videos I've seen. Well done...

[@ScotOsageRez]

My male Akita "Rigor" is 12 yo and my bestest buddy. We live on a large farm in Oklahoma and he only takes offense of coyote! He naps with cows, chickens and cats. He tolerates our guard donkeys. Lol

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

He's sounds like the definition of man's best friend!

[@ScotOsageRez]

@@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon absolutely! He adores his momma, my disabled wife and still has lots of love for me when I get home. He was a rescue too! 4 months old.

[@mikes3827]

What a BEAUTIFUL Akita Louis is there! I'm an all-around dog lover, but IMO, fewer breeds can match up to the strength/beauty of a WELL-trained Akita. Great job on your part, and it gives me more confidence to buying an Akita as an everyday dog. Unfortunately, some municipalities here in the US forbid ownership of Akitas, much the same as they do with Pit Bulls. I know once an Akita makes up his/her mind that it is going to to after something with aggression, that is one SCARY dog, so maybe more-than-a-few such incidents have resulted in some cities/towns banning Akita ownership, but who knows? Either way, I absolutely almost everything about the Akita, as it demands that their owner also has his/her shit together, before getting this magnificent breed.

[@-_-O]

This is incredible :) I'm an old fiend of Louis' owner

[@desireemolino2702]

That's nice and all but how did you get him to do it

[@donutdonutdonutssss7004]

Lol thats what Im asking!!

[@dini9190]

Same here lol

[@xoovo3324]

Shocking

[@Stallion-Koi]

I'll. Post some videos of my am akita Wen got she knew nothing I've brought her on very well keep doing good work

[@stevenutepass7671]

Almost unbelievable for reactive Akita to train so we'll, nice job! I rescued my reactive, he is doing well, still work but will do fine. Thanks for inspiration!

[@ashleypinkston7070]

I’ve used head collars on obstinate dogs and they worked wonders. Might try that. Gives you more control and since he’s so big and strong you won’t be wore out at the end of a walk and you can curb his response to the other dog as soon as you feel his body tense instead of waiting for him to lunge. Beautiful dog.

[@ashleypinkston7070]

Lou not a good first time breed their stubborn and extremely smart. Rotts are a decent large breed to start with. They’re sweeties

[@flowerhour9539]

@Lou No not for the first time dog owner. They are also known to be harder to train than most breeds bc they are so smart. But great dogs if you can be with it often.

[@mercuropheliac]

Noticed a HUGE difference when I've got my girl on a head collar (when I can get it on her lol -- still needs time getting used to it, if she ever will). Once it's on, controlling her on walks have been a breeze -- though there is still some fidgeting (trying to get it off) and pulling if there's too much external stimuli, but today I actually got her to sit when 2 other dogs were passing her by at the park. I think my vet was right in that harnesses actually encourage pulling.

[@MixieMooz]

I got my A.Akita on both a head collar and harness with a lead that connects at both ends. Much easier to walk as the headcollar being the main part, the harness is useful as she's reactive so I can pull her body as well as her head away.

[@itsgetnmeza]

Beautiful dog

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

We agree

[@humanitarianartprojectreis6328]

He is absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@freecheese4143]

Good trainer!

[@saraturner2796]

That was awesome, but would have had some of the training videoed to see how you achieved it.

[@Themayseffect]

He's absolutely beautiful. Amazing size and physique.

[@camillahunt3247]

My American Akita was worse than this. Unfortunately, I was a first time dog owner and didn't really research the breed before getting him For Ares, the harness made the situation worse. The trainer I got didn't recommend them. Just a normal lead and flat collar. When I was trained 🤣 how to properly use them and give corrections, it really worked for me. I really enjoy our nightly walks now instead being dragged down the street or being flat on my behind when he lunged trying to get to other animals

[@MrBlackbutang]

Awesome breed

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

We agree!

[@d.taylor6599]

Amazing

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

Thank You!

[@lauraamme]

Beautiful dog, what was the process to improve reaction to dogs? Goes from pulling aggression to no leash near dogs without explanation

[@DennisChristilaw]

Thanks for the vid, helpful, but you might want to consider a mic. There were a lot of times I could not make out exactly what you were saying. :(

[@commendatori1]

Beautiful 👌

[@Kimarastraz]

Ugh thought this was a training video

[@runstreet]

Wow impressive! I’ve had two Akitas and one was so dog aggressive but easy to train otherwise. My my current one is well socialized with dogs and people but very stubborn. I tried obedience with her but it was so repetitive, I felt like she got bored and just stopped listening. I would love to find a trainer like this in NYC.

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

Thank You!!! We have an NYC branch! www.dogtrainermanhattan.com

[@DrencromC5]

great work

[@theway3058]

Ive had many Akitas. We have 7 year female who is very well trained. And a 2 year male. I will say. There are diff that I see in the breed. The males are a bit harder to train over all but wow are they loving and fun dogs. The females can be easier to train. Tho they do get a bit more moody. Not aggression wise but just moody. I truly love Akitas. Would not have any other dog. Mine are fantastic with kids. As we have kids and there friends are always over our house. Great animals.

[@jimbo4589]

Good job

[@ThumbsUpKitty]

I love this trainer! She's amazing! Yoshi will be at an Off Leash K9 next month. He looks and acts like Louis on day 1 lol

[@aliyahadaanni]

Interested to know how your dog got on?

[@aliyahadaanni]

This trainer is amazing

[@ThumbsUpKitty]

@@aliyahadaanni Hi, it's been about a year and a half, Yoshi is well mannered for the most part. He doesn't emergency recall that well but he can do any of the commands. I don't walk him off leash because of the dangers of other dogs that may be off leash. You really have to continue the training once you get your dog back.. With Yoshi being and Akita, he has a thick floofy neck and they had to use prongs on his e-collar.. It turned out he was allergic to the metal so they had to get some titanium prongs.. He had sores on his neck that I wasn't happy about.. Aside from that, he really does respond well with the e-collar but I choose not to use it because of the prongs. All in all I'd say he is a lot more behaved and I don't regret sending him for the 2 weeks. Do you have an Akita too? Here is Yoshi's Off Leash Training Video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJnGnKuBYrJ5qJY

[@ThumbsUpKitty]

@@aliyahadaanni Funny story... I didn't know they had an Off Leash K9 right where I live in Florida! I had contacted them and was prepared to fly this wonderful trainer to the states and have her stay with us or get her a condo at the beach to train Yoshi, that's how impressed I am with her.

[@aliyahadaanni]

I have a 9 month old Utonagon puppy ( 30kg already). I'd love to send him for training but there's not a one of these trainers near me so I'm doing it myself . He's had a ligament injury which has set us back a good couple of months

[@John-tg7ii]

Wow! What a transformation, really gives me hope I have a 5 year old Doberman boy who is exactly like Louie was on day one with dogs but well behaved the rest of the time. I can’t bring myself to leave him for the board and train but would love to learn how to train the way you do is this something you offer? Human training lol? AnywY great job with Louie and the rest of the dogs

Do Akitas have golden eyes, I was told mine is part wolf from fur, eyes, certain spots. He's rescue, I don't know but experience around wolves and now do believe he is part.

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

It just depends on the eye color and if they have any other breed in them!

[@ryankeeling2406]

I have a 6 month old akita and he is brilliant with people and other dogs as he is well socialized but how do I get him to walk by my side without him saying hello to everyone thanks

[@ryankeeling2406]

Sorry you mean akita this dog is a proud dog a stubborn dog but lovely dog who has a weird crazy sence of humour it's important to socialize this breed from moment you get it with people other animals ect and always socialize it they do have a bad reputation if owner not raised them properly but if your asking what breed you won't get a better dog than an akita if raised rite if not can have mega consinquences but all 3 are big challenging dogs it's what ever you prefer remember They are with you for life not just for few months so do your research on all breeds

[@elphiena]

Socializing your dog doesn’t mean introductions with strange people and dogs. You want him to be uninterested in other dogs and people and your doing him a disservice by letting people pet him or meet with other dogs on the leash. You need to be what your Akita focuses on and is interested in, not the environmental distractions. When you teach him to focus on you during all sorts of new situations, he is properly socialized. When my dogs are on their leash, they are working. They love it.

[@The_Superpack]

He has got decent back legs.

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

Just wondering but they seem way taller than the front legs my Akita is flat not jacked up in the rear.

[@The_Superpack]

Just diff size adults you can make a lot work but just the muscle I meant is great. I think it looks to be workable.

[@robertmason7553]

you are one of those whose seen akitas with bad back legs. worthless dog in that facet. Could still be a good dog but worthless for protect. I saw one with his back ankle hyperextended back the other way. The breeder wanted to sell at a good deal and I said no. I ended buying from another breeder who gave me a very good proportionately built dog. Everybody in the neighborhood wonder where I got him from..... My answer was nunya.

[@humanitarianartprojectreis6328]

redman masonji Just curious why you don’t want anyone to know where to find a well bred Akita, and, not be taken advantage of financially? I’m in that exact situation. My rescue Akita died in 2008. I’m not ready to open my heart, and, home to another Akita. However, I run into people who guard the names of their breeders like they’ll be executed for sharing information. I, honestly do not understand.

[@deannalouisechambers]

I'm confused, this isn't a training video, it's a before and after. It didn't show how you got him to this stage of training.

[@xZaaminator]

[@jasminmrkonja6810]

This is good very good but the training has to be continued by the owner on the daily or they go back to their routine I've seen it and lived it. This training does not make your dog stay like this unless you keep training him too.

[@OffLeashK9TrainingLondon]

We agree. It’s about consistency and following through with training after the “formal” training stops.

Great outcome of effort and training, but what is lacking is what you done TO TRAIN The dog , i think thats what i watched it for to receive the techniques of training not just the outcome, although amazing outcome, still pointless if you dont show how !
