[@2GoatsInATrenchCoat]

yeahhh it's like she never even tried before. I wish he'd show a dog as crazy as mine, because I've tried walking in a relaxed way and saying "don't" in a stern way when we're approaching other dogs...doesn't work. He doesn't care about treats, the spray bottle, validation, a pop over the head, etc. mf just goes ballistic. I've tried everything, and these dog training videos just seem too easy imo because everything he shows in these videos is something I've tried before and failed with.

[@gasa1165]

You use a slip leash like he did in the video, so when they try to pull away it chokes them for a second and they are like oh shit I can’t do that.

[@thelonerizla1]

@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat are you marking the behaviour prior to giving reward? It's all about timing and consistency. Sounds simple but it's not it takes practice . "Mike Ellis' philosophy of dog training" is a great video to explain this , and I don't want to take anything away from this guy because he's excellent from what I see in this video . Also all dogs are different so you need to try different techniques. I'm a huge fan of pinch collars , used correctly you can correct "most" dogs with just holding lead with thumb and forefinger . Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@thelonerizla1]

@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat absolutely no problem my friend . If I can help further let me know . Good luck 🤞. Oh a marker is the "yes" or whatever you want , banana, giraffe or a good ole fashion clicker (from horse training) or whatever, its the tone the dog hears that indicates its about to receive a reward . Timing of the "mark" is crucial, handing the reward over isn't. Its been proved that the reward needs to arrive within .4 of a second which is almost impossible if the dog is right by you're side never mind at a distance hence the "mark" becomes the reward . Changed the way I trained 12 yrs ago , I was yank and crank and always got there in the end , this technique changed mine and my dogs lives . I work Rotties as handler protection dogs for a living.

[@nikirrae8495]

Literally when I hired a trainer for my dogs leash aggression she said the same thing, just to turn around and walk the other way. I swear I spent almost a year with walks being nearly impossible going back and forth and back and forth.

[@Erin_29]

That's because it doesn't really work unfortunately. Best way is to let your dog make their choice and if they react or show inappropriate behavior, you say NO and correct either on prong collar or slip collar. My dog can be a punk sometimes and this is the only method that works.

[@ErinWilke]

Same, the frightening part is many people still think positive only is right after seeing it's lack of success right in front of them.

[@lovelysakurapetalsyt]

That's cause it doesn't fix the actual issue. They're fake trainers who barely have any experience and just want to scam people

[@lovelasnow]

I thought with lease aggression you were supposed to walk the dog in circles and 8’s to make them pay attention to you

[@albertcovington9942]

I wonder if she didn't misinterpret the first trainer? Turning away is effective but it's done in conjunction with the leash pop and heel training. It' also doesn't mean to avoid things.

[@Tony-ik3uz]

Yea i'd agree with your assessment, You do it to get the dog to engage with you and follow your lead, Not to run away with you.

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

Most definitely can be, I have a dog right now actually who only learned from said training. Corrections amp her up like MAD making situation 10x worse. I’ve also had dog that was a lunatic that did SO good with corrections there’s no right or wrong with dogs it’s dependent on the dog, give it a try if you don’t see success or change in first part of training session move onto another technique

[@ErinWilke]

I've met many many positive-only trainers who say to walk away and teach 0 corrections. Unfortunately I believe she perfectly understood her trainer's advice.

[@maggiecarroll8997]

i like to hope that’s the case, and i agree and use the 180 turn method, but the key is to eventually turn back and help model the correct behavior. unfortunately tho i know of SO many trainers who genuinely believe avoidance is the answer because the bad behavior is no longer occurring (but only because they don’t see the trigger ever).

[@lovelysakurapetalsyt]

No, turning away without correcting the problem first is never okay

“Free dog training” ‘Beats the dog when it barks’

[@dvalle6201]

When did he beat the dog?

[@Anne_Onymous]

One of my dogs gets such tunnel vision that no leash tension, verbal corrections, treats, etc can snap him out of it. He just acts like I'm not there. Makes it so hard to fix.

[@Gismo3333]

Probably because your dog is waking you, and is the pack-leader when you are on the walk. So he is never going to listen and take orders from a Beta. No human or animal do that.

[@Anne_Onymous]

@@Gismo3333 It's just weird because I _do_ feel like he's under my command and submissive, until there's another dog walking by. Then that aaaaall goes out the window. I remember thinking that each incident could be a teaching opportunity... That the practice and exposure would eventually desensitize him. That was almost 3 years ago now and it's still an issue. It's so frustrating! =/

[@katpie4416]

I thought I was the only one, these videos always make it seem so easy. I walk two dogs at once and only one reacts that way. But at the same time, they are guard dogs, I don't need them being overly friendly when they are supposed to be protectors

[@HoloScope]

Have you tried a collar

[@harrybehappy9682]

I don’t know much, just about what works for my dog and she is high value treat orientated. She used to do the exact same and one day she just started listening when I brought a pocket squeaky ball out with me to keep her interested in that rather than the external stimulus. She also responds much more to clicker and treat training instead now. Also having the collar closer to the top of the neck, not the bottom. Gives you more control when steering your dog away and corrections are quicker.

[@jennydelaflor2087]

Thank you. I'm meeting so many ppl who consider growling as an appropriate reaction to wanting pets. The dog was pissed I didn't pet it right away when visiting. And the owners never corrected it

[@BebbaDubbs]

A slip lead is WHAT DOGS NEEDS if they are responding. It does not hurt them to allow them to feel commands that they cannot hear in the moment. People are like this too when we're emotional, it's why the cliché is cold water, a slap, or a shock if someone cannot listen.

Sure, you have to be well aware that whatever animal they are all different and no single way will fit all and be prepared to adapt whatever method you use. Confidence from the handler is the key regardless of the nature of the trainee.

[@lovelasnow]

From what I know, you should walk them separately until the problem’s fixed. You could try the redirect that she said didn’t work but instead of walking away, turn around and keep walking until the dog stops, give praise and then turn around and continue what you were doing, just stop and redirect until the dog stops reacting and if that doesn’t work figure out what your dog loves bring it on the walk and use it to get their attention when they act up. Alternatively you could try methods to keep the dog’s attention on you, the reason the trainer in the video got through is because something unexpected happened when the dog was doing something and it needed to process that instead of what it was going after

This does not require a dog to already be trained. That dog may not know what "leave it" means and this is how you teach it. You correct the bad behaviour, he shortened the lead and redirected the dogs attention, issue a verbal command to teach association between that command and that instruction and then rewarded the dog for the correct behaviour to encourage it to repeat the correct behaviour when given the verbal command. This basic association is the foundation of any form of training

The turning around does actually work of your dog is intelligent, most dogs like to explore so they like to explore, when you turn around they just know they are gonna see the same things so it promotes not tugging on the leash, and something neat with this trick is that if they don't do it after seeing a dog you give them a treat like chicken or just a normal treat.
