Prince's correction may save her life - Learn how to reduce/eliminate your own dog's reactivity

[@rptrick79]

0:01 old dogs whoopin' young pups is the best way to reduce dog on dog aggression 0:25 *Definition time!* *Extinction:* when a behavior has not been reinforced it will eventually go away. (The dog will tire of it because it gets them nothing in return) Extinction will not work with this Aussie because it likes doing this and is trying to fill it genetic needs *Punishment:* try a bunch of stuff and whatever decreases the bad behavior was punitive to the dog 1:40 OH! Its kinda nice in here! The Aussie hits the end of the road chasing a dog it cant get and takes a pool break 1:47 commercial intermission 2:04 Joel comes down to coach the Aussie from the water because it seems to have forgotten what its doing there 2:46 Princey the forgiver Aussie: Whats up Bro! (Face on Prince's shoulder) Prince: Forgive me young buck *(looking down @ the dog)*Try some teeth next time of you want an ass-whoopin'. 2:57 Prince and his opposable thumbs make great art 3:16 Get your wiggles out Aussie. The Aussie slowly figuring out Prince is not on his imaginary farm 3:36 punishment is best delivered by the target of the unwanted behavior for it to have the best effect 3:58 Aussie tries again this time with his mouth open and...... *BAM!* Prince lays down the law and gives us what we came for 4:06 Lets try this again says the Aussie. Ah-ah! Says Prince Daddy, Daddy! Save me says the Aussie as he runs for shelter and Joel doesn't call his dog off 😂 (No dogs were hurt or mauled during this presentation) 4:32 Joel does his best seal impression 6:12 Aussie being overly dramatic 6:50 Joel biting his tongue he really wants to call dogs A-holes 7:41 Proofing, percentage talk, walking past a new dog

I think that pause in the pool was a sensory overload thing. Aussies are so very high energy, and without a solid focus they just blow a fuse every so often.

[@marilynbridges8697]

Definitely, she was cooling off, both physically and mentally, plus a bit nervous, and found a safe place to reconsider things.

[@BDTraining]

Agree 100%

[@izzate7]

I got the sense that cold water snapped her out of the mindset she was in.

[@jeffk464]

This Aussie sure is, mine's pretty chill. You can just see the energy coming off this dog though. Honestly almost every Aussie I bump into on walks are very nice dogs.

[@Amygondor]

you can terach a dog to drink/submerge in water to calm down and refocus. It wasn't a sensory overload, it's a learned conduct. As in: "owner told me water calms me down and makes things better, and would you believe it, it works! Humans are geniuses!" The thing is, water does make things better when you're neorvous/ angry/ scared. Every dog owner should teach his or her dog a "drink" command; it doesn't matter if the dog drinks the whole water tank or just smells the water for a few seconds, the trick has worked because the dog found something better to do with its senses than harass other dogs.

[@StarkK9Academy]

Great explanation Joel on why extinction will not work with reactivity, and may I add other unwanted behaviors like jumping on ppl because the dogs are getting an endorphin rush reward, so the punishment must be stronger than the endorphin rush to stop & prevent the unwanted behaviors. Dogs Teach Dogs in the right situation is so beneficial. A friend of my mine has this sweet smart wonderful mini mix whose sister was completely shut down, afraid of everyone & everything. There is so much that I can do to teach & reinforce confidence paired with the mini hanging out with my Mal Mix Amica has taught her how to be a confident pup as well as taught her other skills, like having a good recall, sit, down, stay, fetch, etc.

[@ktel0718]

You get a ton of Australian Shepherds and it seems like 90% of them all have the same issues. That initial run up to Prince was crazy. The dog skid for a good 3 feet. You can also see the dog's not knowing what to do with itself because her brain is going haywire.

[@LadyGeckoFoot]

Most of it is due to owners who don't shut that BS down on day one. I have 4 Australian shepherds and a German shepherd.

[@blueflare3848]

We have always allowed our older dogs to correct our new pups. They do a better job than we do. I have an adult Shepherd with a high prey drive who doesn't "speak dog" very well. Our Cane Corso gave multiple warnings, which were ignored. The interaction ended with our Shepherd pinned to the ground. She is MUCH more respectful now. There was one small puncture wound but if the Cane Corso had wanted to do real damage, she could have. I love watching our pack dynamic. Over 50 years of having dogs, multiple dogs at a time, a natural leader has always emerged.

[@cyprn6600]

awesome to see the aussie doing so well afterwards!

[@jankysail17]

How much of this is lack of exercise? I have an ESS who has been well socialized but she will occasionally get into this same exact state(maybe 20% of the time we pass a dog on the street) However, that number is significantly higher when her activity has been dampened in days prior. My conclusion from my experience has been that these working breeds need vast amounts of exercise, otherwise, no matter how well socialized they are, they are going to be looking for a job to do and in many cases this manifests in this type of reactivity. Her reactions are so visceral. She will bark, lunge for a split second and then immediately tuck her tail and look at me. But it’s that initial visceral reaction that I can never seem to help her get rid of. She is always well rewarded when she remains neutral as well.

[@Asto508]

Which begs the question why people get dog breeds with such high energy levels if they cannot give them appropriate release.

[@jankysail17]

That can most likely be attributed to simple ignorance the majority of the time. It’s too easy for people to decide one day that they want a dog but not be well-versed in the subject of actually raising a dog, let alone the types of breeds and the differences in behavior, training requirements, and necessary exercise. And there’s too many breeders willing to sell their dogs without proper vetting and/or education of the potential buyers.

[@nixe4912]

@@Asto508 I adopted a lovely little mutt from the shelter. They said she was an African Village dog/Africanis (I'm in Cape Town, South Africa). What the DNA test said was a 66% Malinois and 33% Australian cattle dog. Energy off the scale, reactive, massive prey drive and smarter than a lot of people. Thankfully she has equally active buddies to rough & tumble with and plenty of off leash places to go. But maybe cut some people a little slack...we didn't all sign up for the dogs we ended up with!

I love watchin prince. I wish I could have recorded the work my boy did before he passed but he was just like prince for local rescues.

I am still very hopeful your training program gets some sort of grant soon, Ide love to take part but being disabled and on limited income restricts me to just stalking your youtube lol.

[@Missinlefty]

Random note I am attempting to start up my local training again and I am planning on using a large private enclosed felid for one on one dog plays like this with my current pilot dog for those that want their dogs to socialize or learn how to properly act when playin with another dog. Dog parks in my area are just toxic messes and Ide like to educate as many as possible on body language.

[@Philliwolf5]

I can see dog behavior issues rising exponentially. As more and more people are replacing child-rearing with pet ownership, they're going to start assigning human emotions and needs to them in an attempt to fulfill their parenting urges. It's why more people think they should be able to bring their dogs everywhere, even when it's unsanitary. And God forbid you ask them to actually control and train their dogs. They think being assertive will hurt the dogs' feelings. Good luck, normal humans.

[@StarkK9Academy]

Totally agree. Dogs in strollers in stores barking at ppl or service dogs is such a pet peeve of mine. (1) Only Service dogs should be in stores. (2) If you’re putting your dog in a stroller train it so it has great manners. I wish store managers would tell owners of bad mannered dogs that they are welcomed back when their dog is properly trained, until then the dog is not allowed in the store.

[@jennabennett4236]

The problem, as I see it, isn't necessarily treating dogs like children. In my experience, raising the 2 is actually very similar. Raise them both with manners and respect, with rules and boundaries and limitations and they'll, more than likely, turn into decent, well-rounded adults.

Yesterday on my first try out with the regular dog collar, he earned his way through the door and outside. He did great with the neighbor dog barking, corrected him. Learned the butt jerk.. which is awesome! He went on ignoring that, saw the cat, I corrected him for lunging etc... that worked. We continued to walk... experienced dogs barking.. seeing adog at a glass door barking, he lunged got corrected. We were doing fabulously until my neighbor who was rustling leaves invisible to sight across the alley made him go nuts. I acted calm jerking him back, But he went coo coo even more he went backwards in front of me nearly pulling out of the collar. I got him, don't even know how, put him on his side. I don't know if this was right but I was a tad shook up that he almost escaped. Had he done that I would never had been able to get him and he could have attacked my neighbor. This has me very nervous now about that collar which was tight... but too close for comfort nearly escaping. I bought a martingale collar for large breed which he is. And too.. I've purchased a gentle lead. Online at your suggestion and link. What in the world do you do if the dog gets away outside? We have begun the come commands last night and this morning. He gets distracted at the moment but he is 90% there in the backyard.

[@rptrick79]

I'd work on getting a pretty solid recall in different environments if you can recreate it to an extent. But it sounds like maybe just more exposure and desensitization may help too. How old is the dog? Is it new to you? What breed? Lots of things could be a factor I suppose.. I only ask because the leaves rustling seems like it got a pretty wild reaction for just leaves outta sight. You may (and I know people hate them in general ) wanna get a front pull harness like an easy walk. It won't turn you into a sled and your dog is gonna have trouble pulling out of it if it's on correctly. Then you can fade it out later.

There's a mini aussie in my daycare that I absolutely adore, but his barrier reactivity is so bad. Same with his leash reactivity.
