Thanks to the owner for being so brave to be filmed. ❤ It's so helpful to see real life examples. We took our dog for a walk and my partner said oh wow she's much better, I was like uhuh I watched Nigel on KZbin! 😌

[@cmtx3195]

I love how you break down leader into the four things, thats great thank you

[@nigelreed]

Pleasure. Glad you liked it. Breaking down leadership allows us to adapt our approach to what each individual dog needs.

[@gemmafolz5854]

Incredible progress in a short amount of time, Nigel is a pro and his methods are effective and kind! So helpful 🐶Thank you!

[@nigelreed]

Thanks Edwardo :) - hope you're well.

[@paganqueen1]

Thank you for this video. I have a dog who is not quite as bad as this but not far off. We no longer take any of our 3 dogs out because I can't handle him with the other 2 dogs as well. They seem to feed off his anxiety. He was a lock down puppy. I have seen your method of turning the dog around before but have not tried it because he has bad knees. He has had to have 2 surgeries on one knee, the first, luxating patella, at 9 months old and the second, TPLO, only 10 weeks ago aged 4. He also needs surgery on the other knee for luxating patella and preventative treatment for ruptured cruciate ligament. I am reluctant to keep pulling him back because of the damage it could do to his already damaged legs. Is there another way to do this method?

[@nigelreed]

Pleasure. You will have to manage the environment better and use a method called retreat then treat - Assuming your dog takes treats (Oreo wouldn't). Encouraging the dog to make the decision to come back to you, before moving forward. Slowly closing the distance.

[@paganqueen1]

@@nigelreed He doesn't take treats. He's not "there" when we go out. He is just so focused on getting back home as fast as possible. He is so stressed we don't like walking him at all.

[@nigelreed]

He needs lots of little lessons of going out and coming back in again before he even resists.

[@flipnshifty]

4:06 why do you lift up the harnas hard like that? just curious cause i thought it's unnecessary to pull up the dogs body like that

[@cmtx3195]

I think its partly to keep her walking as, due to being on a harness, she can easily spin around. This is the problem with harnesses on reactive dogs.

[@nigelreed]

@flipnshifty You see at the beginning (and times at the end) of the video when Nat has Oreo, she goes into attack mode on her hind legs - lunging at perceived dangers. Due to her size and behaviour just using the lead attached to the harness will more likely result in her flipping out for longer periods and landing awkwardly. The quicker I put a stop to her fear-based habits by grabbing the harness, when necessary, the quicker I regain control, reduce her mental stress, and show her to listen to me. She didn’t experience any physical pain and it worked quicker.

[@irishcubs01]

Man dogs are A LOT of work. Even if their friendly. But one like this. Wow. Sucks for the dog and everyone

[@flipnshifty]

Seems like a socialisation issue and not enough exercise

[@nigelreed]

Exercise will address the symptoms not the cause. The cause is a lack of confidence in leadership, environment (dogs and certain people) and how the dog should be behaving.

[@bvanbanan]

At first it seems this dog needs exorcist

[@nigelreed]

😂

[@catschleicher3484]

Well the human holding the leash is smiling while her dog lunges at everything so it's clearly just an improperly homed dog, because she cant take her situation seriously which makes it even more dangerous

[@paganqueen1]

That's a bit unfair. The smiling could be embarrassment. She probably feels inadequate. I have a very similar reactive dog and I know how uncomfortable it is to be walking down the road with him barking like a frenzied beast. He's a bichon cross Chinese crested. Is he an improperly homed dog too? I have 2 other dogs who are fine. He is unsocialised because we got him at 10 weeks old and discovered he had severe luxating patellas and was unable to walk without screaming in pain. We had to wait until he was 9 months and fully grown before he could have an operation to fix it. The day he had that operation we went into lockdown. I had to remove his stitches myself. So he has never had chance to meet other dogs or people. Don't judge people until you know the circumstances.

[@pan0568]

Very unfair and judgemental to say that. I'm sure she not smiling because she doesn't take her situation seriously. She's on camera, after all, probably feeling embarrassed and anxious. She has called in a fantastic behaviourist in Nigel so is clearly seeking help and guidance.

[@cbcdesign001]

That's not a fair assessment. She is probably mortified by her dogs behaviour and the smiling is no indication of what the lady is thinking or feeling.

[@nigellondt187]

Another clear and concise video Nigel. Thank you. Main point being, never give up and going back to move forward.

[@nigelreed]

Pleasure. I hope you are well.

[@allenm8182]

Hi Nigel. Good video. I really need to do this every walk with my highlt reactive Queensland Heeler. I love for her to have the freedom to play and run around but that does not help her overall obedience. But she has pretty good recall and good basic commands. Mainly the reactivity is the bugger. Do you think it could be a genetic thing and can that be improved. And what is the name of the harness you use? Thank you.

[@nigelreed]

Hi there, i doubt it is a genetic issue. Your dog has a level of confidence in you as a leader, in their environment and how they should be behaving. Aim to build her confidence in every area, each day and you will see results. I have no idea what harness that is, sorry. I use Ruffwear though.

[@hannerutherford4806]

I return to your videos time and again - there’s always something new to take away from them…thank you so much
