Wish I could have you help with my girl every noise outside she runs too door growls and is very aggressive ! She my baby pit from pup 2 years old ❤

[@miss_kolissa]

Thanks for sharing these videos, I love watching them. Hoping to get my first dog soon.🥰

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

I found it helps if you bring food she loves and have strangers give the dog treats. That improves their attitude from fear to desire to bum a snack. Once you get to there, the fear is gone even if they don't get that snack. Of course you do have to first get her comfortable enough near people to even be interested in snacks in the first place. If a dog is too fearful, you can't start with snacks because the flight desire is stronger but once you get that toned down enough, then you can use snacks to help override the fear that is left. (interestingly fearful horses are very similar)

Amazing adopters for giving this scared girl a sanctuary and then helping her grow beyond the experiences she had so far.

[@noranneduffy]

I have a 5ish yr old collie and he is so scared. I have him 2 yrs and he is so untrusting. He lived with a pack of 14 collies and his survival mode is always on. This gives me encouragement!

[@samwdavis]

@@noranneduffy I'm glad that you're feeling encouraged! That's great!!! Treating fear goes against the natural inclination of 99% of dog owners. Do NOT comfort the dog when it's afraid. You're actually rewarding and encouraging the fearful behavior. Do NOT avoid the situations that cause the fear. Again, you're rewarding and encouraging the fearful behavior. The secret is what's shown in the Dog Daddy's video. Push the dog beyond its thresholds and force it to confront its fears while advocating for the dog and helping it to learn that it's going to be OK, and enforce your role as the leader. Leader does NOT equate to tons of affection. It equates to protection and giving clear direction, rules and boundaries. Think tough love. The result will be a much more calm and happy dog and a much more healthy relationship with its owner. You can do it!!

Congrats, this is the 1st reply by DD, or his handlers, in yt.

[@Ray88855]

I rescued a dog from Battle buddies in Hinesville Georgia that had been there for almost 2 years he had been there since he was 6 weeks old and nobody would adopt him because he was so skittish.. I went there every day for 6 days in a row and spent all day with him trying to win him over with fresh cooked chicken meat that I had cooked for him the night before to take the next day to try to get him to want to come home with me cuz he was scared to death.. I'm not a dog trainer so I didn't know how to go about anything except trying to win him over with love and affection and chicken meat.. I've had him for now 15 months and he's starting to make progress after all this time.. I make homemade dog food with the best ingredients he gets the best life the best love he gets to sleep in my bed.. he has been a handful trying to get him to not be skittish and.. he is at the point where he can run around on the property now with no leash and he doesn't try to run away and he has just learned to sit.. That's how damaged he was I don't know how he got that damaged being at the shelter except for being neglected and not loved enough that will kill something lack of love... I love my doodles more than anything on the planet he's my boy. I know he loves me so much.. he's just got so a long way to go.. ❤

[@gladyssanchez5928]

This is exactly what I needed to see. I also have a ppl shy dog that I got from the shelter 11months ago and still very skittish. She loves me and understands I show her how to calm down. Thank you DD

[@frankbreuer8849]

Brilliant. As a therapist of 30 years I know a little bit about the Principles of Learning and Behaviour. This video demonstrates outstanding application and execution of those principles. The steps he takes are small enough so the dog can follow without fear. His explanations are spot on. Last, most important, he leads with presence in a calm manner. Thanks. Goodbye to the haters.

[@torischwartz745]

Well said frank I agree 100 💯

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

[@JoEmery-li1ni]

Lovely to see her being given calm leadership and her Lovely owners keen to learn to help themselves to help her❤

I rescued a terrified dog. Time, patience and understanding her fears turned her into a fabulous dog. Every new thing was taken slowly. She blossomed and had a wonderful life with our family. The dog here is one I’d love to own.

[@gaylesmith4953]

That dog is so lucky to have been adopted by a couple so committed to helping this dog that they attended @DogDaddy training. They’ll all make it and pursue happiness!❤

[@heatherlamoureux0]

I LOVE this type of video. I do enjoy the shorts amd the music, but i love to watch you handle the dogs, and just hear your thoughts on explaining their behavior and how to work on them. ❤❤❤

[@jnl3564]

As an autistic person it makes sense. You're providing a sensory experience (the collar) that is stronger than the fear response. And because of that, it can ground the dog in the reality of the present moment. It's communication. Sometimes it has to be strong to get the dogs attention.

[@honorclarkescatacomb67]

You're right. The truth is actually not only does that apply to autistic people, it applies to just about all people and animals (except sociopaths. Their brains aren't wired to feelings like most people. For most people, long term memory is tied to an emotion, smell, sound, sight, etc. ). According to psychologists, most people will do more to avoid pain, than they will to gain pleasure, and more to avoid definite pain than potential pain. So, to use your example, a sensory experience (the collar) is definite and now. It's here in the present. While the fear is of a potential experience.

[@litebrite8993]

This is the most brilliant explanation I've seen about this - ever! Thank you so much for sharing. It makes perfect sense when you say it like that!!

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

I think it also helps that the dog is shown what to do in that situation, a fearful dog finds comfort in following orders and following a good leader. Following orders also helps distract from fear and pretty soon it is confronting the fear and realizing nothing bad happened either.

[@atticusandwinifred3274]

Do you think a hair shirt would have helped you be more sociable? The collar is totally wrong.

[@andreawijnaendts2550]

​@atticusandwinifred3274 have you ever had a fearful or agressive dog? Have you ever had children? Would you disagree with immersion therapy for human phobias? Prong collars have a bad rep because idiots and assholes use them incorrectly. It is something that should only be used with professionals. I have personally seen this used on a human, by another human, for demonstration. It is painful and dangerous if you don't fir or use it properly. The same is true for almost every piece of equipment in our lives. The difference here is this dog will die if it is not helped. Not maybe... WILL. Who is more abusive? The trainer who uses clear messages, equipment and training... or the person who believes only positive training is acceptable so tells the owners to put the dogs down?

[@gardennotch5586]

Beautiful, an insecure dog blossoming under a confident leader!

[@LAStars-sratS]

Ppl often don’t realize that a dog needs to physically move FORWARD to change their behaviour. It has a release in the limbic system. Wonderful that this dog has a new start to Life, looks like a really nice dog under all the fear❣️

Great job! I really like how the collar was explained. I sure hope that through experiences like this, she can learn to relax and trust people.

I have a very anxious rescue dog who is now 4 years old; he came to us at 8 months and was clearly traumatized as it took him months to even start wagging his tail. He's gotten SO much better but still has trouble walking on a leash and being in public. So glad to see your video about fearful dogs, it's encouraging me to keep trying to get him to a place where we can go for walks together!

Dog Daddy....I trained Tennessee Walking Horses for many years and am struck by the similarity in the application of pressure and release.

[@TheRomanPilgriminPerson]

So it was the prong collar that made the positive difference for Trudy. I’m so glad you posted her video today, Augusto, because I have been thinking about her and wondering how she went from a scared timid dog to that dog who walked with me and looked up at me with soft sweet eyes when I said Good Girl and tickled around her ears. She made such a major change it was like I couldn’t wrap my mind around it, it was a mystery to me. The difference before and after the prong collar is obvious and remarkable. The difference is striking, Augusto. Thank you. Even her owners were surprised and pleased at her progress, a totally different dog. Did they send you an update on her? I’m just so glad I got to see this today.

[@YochevedDesigns]

OMG, this was so beautiful, I had tears in my eyes. You literally gave this dog her life back. People just don't know the proper use of a prong collar, and think that it's supposed to control with pain, which only makes things worse. I rescued a dog with fear aggression towards children and other dogs. With redirection "look at me" and a treat, I taught her to be calm within a few months. There's one big dog who likes to challenge her, but we cross the street well in advance, and a simple "leave it" will get her back on track. BTW, she loves kids now, and is a neighborhood favorite!

[@csydney]

I am so in awe of your approach Dog Daddy. You should open a training school for dog trainers so there are enough that each Shelter could hire one. If more shelter dogs had these skills to offer the dogs in their shelter, I have no doubt that they would place more dogs, more quickly...which is a triple win...the shelter, the dog and the new owner. The shelter places the dog more quickly The dog becomes more confident and socialized The new owner gets a head start on successfully assuming their new responsibilities and enjoyment

[@phoenixwail6646]

We have a Anatorian shepherd that is suddenly scared of my dad but he has done nothing for her to fear but her hips are hurting at two years old and we think she is scared of being abandoned by my dad because she was abandoned by a man and ended up so malnourished that we could feel the individual ribs. The thing is that she became scared after she started yelping when touched and we've had her for over a year with no fear and only over affection and happy waging of the tail when we get back from school or work. The moral of the story is that everyone, including humans, pets and non-pets, will never forget the pain they went through but fear it will happen again unless taught that there is stability (She is still scared as it only started a few hours ago)

I have GSDs, and have for decades. I rescue, foster, foster fail ... and always have a revolving pack. I Love Pinch Collars! I will not use any other type for training and walks. My dogs learn so quickly, as is the dog in the video. Dogs are pack animals. If there is no pack leader to take charge, the dog has no idea what to do. Humans need to step up and take the leadership role. Pinch collars put a slight bit of pressure around the entire neck, very similar to the way a momma dog grasps her pups. It gives the dog a sense of having a leader of the pack.

I had a foster dog (she was from puppy mill and they were done breeding her) so scared she would hid under anything to get away. Was so scared & timid. After a day of letting her get to know the place, I put one of those tie at your waist and to dog collar things on. Everywhere I went, she had to go. And I had a dog. I took them outside together. She was so scared. Within a week, she was different. She stopped hiding. Eventually, she would go outside. What a mess some of these puppy mill dogs are. We had one more that came in, same time. The girl that fostered her didn’t want to make her did what I did. And the dog kept hiding. Months of that. She finally gave the dog to another foster because she didn’t have the heart to do what I did.
