How your dog should MEET other dogs - Real Dog Training #12

[@JudyGSD]

Hef’s a natural on camera and with a clients dog. Well done! More please

[@andrewtate4635]

Agreed, Hef is nice, but don't you think he's over pets?

[@eunice8116]

@@andrewtate4635 dunno about over petting I think he was reassuring the dog and it worked

[@pittymama4500]

I think the patting was just reassuring the dog that he is doing well and to remind him that he is in control of the interactions. He did awesome!

[@sweetstephyd3]

I agree!! He’s very good at explaining everything.. definitely a natural on camera!

[@PittBlu213]

​@@andrewtate4635 it's possibly because this dog values a touch reward more than a food reward. Either way he is just reinforcing a behavior that he is happy with. Its the same way he gives a leash pop correction when the dog displays an undesirable behavior.

[@ggojka1]

As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

you can just tell he knows exactly what he’s talking about 💯💯💯

[@SimonRawicz]

Great clear messaging. Excellent way of putting it. Too many people want to make their dog friends with everyone and everything and not every dog wants that.

What a great dog handler, champion 🥇

[@lilbudgies894]

Fantastic! Please keep putting out this content. It's a real working dog working line coming up against normal situations.

[@gobucs3146]

I think I found the dog version of me.

[@Pablothedemon420]

I’d love a version of this except with a dog who is “over social” (lack of wording) but “rude” as the handler put it, my dog GSD / Boxer mix loves dogs to bits but he is very in their face upon meeting / too hyper , he settles after 2-4 minutes but I’d like a calmer approach. Thanks for the video

[@patmunro3531]

So is mine!! If she had a hobby it would be cage fighting!! She is small UK police bred reject. She loves ALL dogs, but her best friend since they were both 15wks old, she's 2 now, is a Leonburger male dog!!, She can, and does put her whole head in his mouth, or bites his legs so he falls ON TOP of her!! I severely limit when, and how long she is allowed to play with him!!

[@DN-ye6cm]

Mine does the same, GSD mixed. I don't let her play with smaller dogs because she's clearly not aware that she can crush the others by jumping on them. Even though her intention is friendly, but I need her to not be overly excited when meeting other dogs.

[@tpfeif603]

Same here. I have a Belgian mal pup who loves all other dogs & wants to meet them but comes in waaaay too hot

[@eunice8116]

Maybe only let her meet when she calms down! After exercise if you enter a feild with other dogs get her tired first maybe, But then saying that you said boxer mix ! Well 🤷‍♀️

[@Pablothedemon420]

@@eunice8116 I appreciate the feedback but yeah he could be exhausted but turns fully back on when he sees another dog 😂 he’s just very enthusiastic about meeting other dogs thankfully he doesn’t fight back when smaller dogs attack him.

[@justkidding7523]

Be the voice for your dog. My dog is aloof. Doesn’t care to interact. He only loves my two other dogs that he has been raised with. When people ask to interact I simply say no and keep it moving. Might sound rude but I won’t put my dog through a situation he doesn’t want to be part of.

[@nyorking8738]

This video had a lot of good information, I have a GSD and this are the type of body language I look for when we are going for a walk or when we meet another dog. Never force your dog to meet another dog if they don't want to or you're going to have a bad day. Well done on the video and the explanation was on point.

[@k9trainergsd]

Nice to meet you Hef! Great explanations!

[@SoulfulSmokie]

Wow that was very interesting. I would like to know more about reading a dogs body language. You guys are excellent trainers.

[@mrs.pulliam839]

[@accufab]

Great job Hef!

[@ReddogBigdaddy]

Hef, love the way you explained everything you were doing. Very layman. Thanks!

[@iceman_69gaming13]

This should be included when people buy dogs. Many get "offended" if you pull a dog away like in the movie. "But she is so friendly, why did you go away?"

[@gulliver1416]

[@rosiehodson9509]

Loved hefs explanations along the way x my only worry is, most dogs that invade our space at the park are off leash and their owners have no control. My dog is very friendly once dogs get to him, but it's the initial rude charging over that he doesn't like

[@ernestoochoa7800]

I learned a lot with my first GSD, didn't have videos back then. I learned a lot then and even more now. Dogs don't and should not look to other dogs for leadership, they look to the owner.

very informative, great job!!!!!

[@GracieandJacqsAdventures]

Awesome.. I learned not only what to watch out for with my pup as we begin meeting other dogs but also I can watch how the other dog is behaving and make smart decisions for both Jacq and I!

[@DougHinVA]

There is no need to 'meet' another dog and stay out of all dog parks... all pros tell you that. It is NOT for your dog and any damage from a dog fight may mean a lawsuit. Avoid it.

[@GracieandJacqsAdventures]

@Doug H. in VA Jacq is 18mos old now, and we have been full-time rv-ers since July 12.. He is very socialized now and plays well with other dogs at all the meetups we go to. I will never take him to a closed in dog park.. Not because of Jacq's behaviors (he minds well) but because of other dogs, their owners, and their lack of training/discipline.

[@roxannecapitani1939]

Very helpful to see this as it's an area I'm not too sure about. Please do more on handling meetings with dogs under different scenarios and with different dog personalities

[@DougHinVA]

see above ... NO need to 'meet' another dog at all!

[@patandjamie162]

But how did you get him to THIS point?????????

[@a.m.cairns7343]

I have an American Bully that we rescued. She was mainly overbred but she obviously has gotten into some dog fights. So she hates all dogs. However, for the past 2 months we've been able to get her to ignore other dogs. But just yesterday as we were walking past this house, a kid went inside, left the door wide open, and the dog inside saw her and bolted. I make my dog wear a harness, so I was just picking her up and moving her away from the dog. But the dog got her on her cheek and Grace snapped back at her and ripped a hole in the dogs neck. Thanks to my dad he was able to get Gracie to let go and he had to put the dog back in its house. All in all, we took her on a walk again today and she obviously has been set back. I'm not angry about that and I don't know how to feel about the incident. Yeah, the dog attacked her but I don't know if it was my dog protecting itself or just bitt because that what bullys were bred for. To fight.

[@trappfeindzzz8962]

Are they’re anymore videos with HEF training? He makes things very clear to understand!

[@edacevedo7746]

Holy crap! If that dog is reactive, mine is a nuclear T-Rex 🦖...

[@kamathwal4435]

[@dragoncurse69]

Atta boy Hef!

[@jetv1471]

Finally a trainer said what I have been saying all along : some dogs prefer people vs dogs and that’s okay ! A few of my dogs prefer to be around people to dogs. Whereas I prefer to be around dogs to people . Get it ?

[@celiakind]

Great presentation & reaffirmed how my trainer helped one of my rehome dogs. Logan was very well behaved, did you need to use the ecollar during this exercise?

[@vldz6446]

My shihtzu needs to be trained like this holaaaaaaay

[@DougHinVA]

Very good explanation of what to do and why. He is a professional handler of GSD dogs and knows when to move away and then does so. Most amateurs do NOT do either one. Do NOT do this as an amateur. You are NOT a pro dog handler.

[@the-d-r]

Really nice video and I also like Hef. Where can I learn more about the dogs body language voodoo? Is it part of the course, that is already released?

[@sameasnone]

Thanks

[@renfarms]

Would love to see video on reducing/eliminating fixation on cars that drive by (farm). Young English Shepherd. Goes into heavy breathing , hard fixed stare. Has chased a few times when we couldn’t break through to her verbally (too far away). She will sit on command when fixated now, but that just makes her physically safer, but not any more mentally stable.

[@1packatak]

Just like anything else, you need to provide an adequate correction before the dog even begins to fixate. You need a leash or an ecollar. Get out there when the cars are coming. The millisecond the dog starts to notice the car, correct!!!! Strong, firm, clear. You can take a break, then go again. If your timing is right, and your correction is strong and clear, you can stop this in no more than 3 or 4 corrections. You can then reward (with whatever your dog responds to) when he ignores the car. I would continue to practice the behavior regularly to make sure he does not regress. This behavior is life threatening for the dog. The correction therefor needs to be at a level that clearly communicates to the dog the behavior is NOT allowed. Once you allow the dog to have any kind of reaction/fixation, you have “lost” the game.

[@reeceshaw9717]

Yoh can we get more Hef videos

[@KnowledgeIsComfort]

If only everyone would do this with their dogs then there wouldn’t be any crazy interactions or violence.

[@ewertonaraujo1551]

[@Learned333]

So my strat of taking my dog to off-leash dog parks to get her desensitized to meeting all kinds of dogs is not a good strategy? Should I be setting up purposeful meetings with the same dog owners of other non-aggressive dogs? And this should be done with leash, not off leash?

[@nikkikidd8428]

My take on the interactions of my dogs with other people or dogs first and foremost comes from my gut feeling because I can literally feel what they are feeling and then their body language comes second. And my pet peeve with people is when they cannot recognize that I can feel the intensity building up within my dogs and get annoyed because they believe the interaction was great and want to just allow the dogs to interact off leash and feel like I am being unfair and should let them “ be free” to roam and play. And then whether my assessment was right or wrong, the situation then turns negative and creates unnecessary pressure and fear that could have been easily avoided. And people, PLEASE don’t interact with anyone’s dog without permission. In fact, if I am walking my dog and ignore you then please ignore us lol. I I am walking my dog and smile at you, please don’t assume that I open to you approaching me and my dog lol. And if I smile and say hello and then continue walking again please don’t interpret that as an invitation to come closer or approach my dog lol. And please please please, don’t try to pet my dog through the open window of my truck, while he is tied up outside the store for a minute, approach him from behind when he is pooping or feed him anything , anywhere at anytime without my written permission or prior to signing a letter of consent stating that you are aware of the risks involved and are willing to look like a jackass when my dogs decide that you are just too stupid to ignore any longer and rip your head off lol. Ok that’s a bit much but seriously please take into consideration that there’s a good chance that the dogs you see are in the process of being trained and unless the owner has given you permission it’s best that you ignore the dog completely or at least pretend to ignore the dog and by doing that you could actually be aiding in the training of what will soon be an amazing,happy and social dog!
