REACTIVE Dogs - Three BIGGEST mistakes owners make

[@shieldk9]

Hey guys I know there is a sound issue at around 11 minutes. Bear with me, editing video on the road at night isnt so easy..lol.

That you are even able to continue while on holiday is amazing so don’t worry about the odd glitch! Locals know that area as The Valley of the Ten Peaks. One of the most photographed areas in the world! My husbands Great Uncle made most of the trails thru that area. If you go to the Museum, you may find a photo of him with his teepee. The only white man in the area that used one. His name was Charlie Hunter if you care to look into the area’s history. Thank you for all the time you’re taking away from your holiday. Don’t forget you time!

Your right on point! People don't understand we're animals regardless how sophisticated we are. Physicality/Body language is primary and Vocalizations are secondary. The way you have trained them to go into space and lay down on cue is impressive. Glad, I found your channel.

Hi ty question please! My pup is 4 months super smart and sorta well trained but how patient do I have to be that she is super reactive when she’s excited and absolute does not listen I know she’s still a baby she literally does everything she’s supposed to otherwise

[@69mychel]

Don't hide your dog. Bingo! Walk him through whatever he inappropriately reacts to and firmly correct him. Dogs cannot be allowed to act like paranoid schizophrenics when confronted with imaginary threats. THAT'S how dirty bites happen. Haz, please take more time off cuz you truly shine when on vacation.🔥💜👏

[@b1squitz31]

My old cane corso was so reactive if I corrected him he would squeal and bite the leash and shake the leash. He had bitten before and how would you fix issue like this. He watched dogs playing for half an hour about 30 metres away and still tried attacking them after numerous corrections each time he reacted after half an hour.

[@69mychel]

@@b1squitz31 I would have hung him with his leash....and yes, I did this to the first Presa I owned. She only ever turned on me once. Zero room for that BS🤷‍♀️

except if I try to walk my reactive dog "through" what she is lunging, barking about, I can trip and fall over Miss Craziness. Ice on knee as we speak.

[@b1squitz31]

@@69mychel he never bit me but he would mouth me but he bit the neighbours a and some friends. He was so crazy he would jump when he saw another dog that especially barked and try to twist himself out of the leash so that he could attack it. And if he couldn't it was leash time. I didnt even raise him, I bought him as an adult but it was just too much to handle. Maybe the old owners were too soft and he got used to shit like that. It may be cruelty but whenever he did I used to stab him with my fingers into his muscles as hard as u could whilst flipping at the dog but I timed them perfectly.

One big difference between training dogs and kids is that dogs actually listen and learn.

[@suma6473]

Just found this channel, and I love the message of this video. I spent thousands of dollars on the “positive only” trainers only to have them recommend I put my dog (a shepherd mix) down because she “would never be safe”. Finally found an excellent trainer who taught me how correct properly and give my dog consistent and coherent feedback, I credit him with saving my dog’s life. She lived for 12 more years, happily and safely. Glad to have found this channel because I miss having a dog, and I am addicted to GSDs which means I need to be prepared to train properly. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@David-yv7ln]

Great video. I have a 1 yr old Malinois and he is getting better and better about not reacting to other dogs. About 2 weeks ago when we were on a walk, a large male GSD was loose and charged us at full speed. I knew there was a 99.9% chance this GSD was not a trained attack dog and that he was focused on my smaller Malinois. As he got close I jumped between him and my dog and shouted like a crazy human at him. He actually turned tail and ran away. Since then my dog trusts that I will protect him and there is no need to fear other dogs.

[@Goliad_Respector]

That’s where “All bark no bite” comes from. It’s so sad when ppl think their insane dog is just being “tough” and a good guard dog. But in a neighborhood where ppl will be walking by and children will playing will only cause the property value in your neighborhood to go down. This is why so many low income children grow up afraid of dogs bc the owners are either wicked or neglect the dog to the extent it’s in a constant fear state and acts out of fear and, I kid you not, other ppl will take “tips” from these awful owners so they can have an insane pit bull and compensate for something lacking in their own self-esteem. After moving to a new neighborhood I see this ALL over, and sure enough, everyone around my dog and I say “I’m afraid of dogs.” And I have never heard ppl say that before I moved here but all over the neighborhood are insane dogs that lose their minds whenever someone walks by.

[@Jerry16776]

I have about a dozen neighbors I wish would watch this video. Seems like common sense to me. On another note your son is adorable especially in the end when he’s walking his own dog. That’s a beautiful park you were walking through. The lake is absolutely stunning!!

This is such a good video. I literally tried everything with my reactive shepherd and i really wish i had seen this video from the start, because this is what worked in the end.

[@HJGFGJGUYuyyaassgg]

Thank you so much! These videos are so helpful. My GSD had severe reactivity and was very fearful and with using these techniques I have control over her and she is so much better. I had a positive dog trainer (and a quite popular one) who pretty much told me to do all the things you said not to do in this video for at least 6 months. Nothing worked until I changed the training style to what you do.

I came back to watch this as this is such good advice. Feel like training my GSD is more training myself to have a baseline every time so that I'm more consistent. Ball in the mouth out on walk wow works a treat!

[@rdwilander]

Haz, very unlikely you you talk too much when you are generously sharing your knowledge and the honesty about how we need to address the various challenges we face with our dogs....loved the end of the video clip where you are working with your new pup (I believe) and watching the focused heel, the beautiful movement and enthusiasm displayed is amazing

[@DaveWells300]

Looking back this is one of the best videos on reactivity. I tried all the other bs ie: hiding in obedience, luring away from the trigger with food. It might of worked sometimes in the moment but none of those techniques fixed the core problem. The only way is to build your dogs confidence by getting him up close and personal with other dogs, and well timed corrections. I'd add that you don't want the dog to explode then correct, you need to look for the warnings signs prior such as heckles and correct before the explosion. Create as many positive experiences as possible and that's what pulled my dog out of reactivity to other dogs. And be patient.

[@dianna9283]

Thank you Haz for always explaining dog behavior to gain a better understanding as to why and then following it up with ways to address it. A true teacher!

[@jman2k0]

Sending this to my girlfriend asap! She needs to know that the "babying" is making the situation worse. The dog is non reactive with me and an absolute terror when with her. She needs to know why!

[@jman2k0]

@nuke360 hahaha might be easier just doing this lol

[@DougHinVA]

IF she pays attention and does not show anger at you for sending the message. Some folks reject any correction even if it is a video of a professional.

[@mea5809]

info was decent yet pretty unclear as to how to really handle the situation. you clarified all the things not to do with the dog and finished it up with telling the dog that you will protect him, however you (the dog)are not allowed to please your self with reacting the way that you would like. You made it clear that dogs are not verbal. What are the physical action(s) that you recommend? Most of the readers aren't dog trainers (in my opinion) and thats why they are here (in my opinion). Do you recommend e collars as the correction? I'm just asking because outside of seeing how well your dogs are trained, I'm really still uncertain at to how you recommend moving forward. Do you have any videos showing you work with reactive dogs? This was the first your content hit my suggestions side. I'd be interested to see more of your work. Thank you

[@Stiglmeister]

Haz, thank you for your videos! You really know your stuff and it shows in the dogs you train. We’ve been studying and watching, and being firm with the “NO!!” and positive rewards for good behavior definitely works. Our very reactive, fear-driven dog now allows us to apply fly spray to her after a few firm NO!’s, as well as dealing with several other things she was reactive to. Wish we were closer to Kitchener, we would love to do some in-person training with our dogs!

[@georgek9231]

This was the best detailed explanation that makes complete sense. THanks

[@samanthan2999]

Thank you for this! I adopted my 10 month old GSD about 3 months ago now and his reactivity issues are being more apparent and problematic. His triggers are often hard to pin point, but I do believe his reactivity is fear and anxiety. I'll take him to the pet store and he is completely fine with people around us, but I take him for a walk and a family in snow suits walks towards us and he looses his mind- barks, puffs up, and lunges in their direction. Its so stressful and absolutely embarrassing, especially considering he is a very sweet and loving dog! He also reacts heavily when we have guests over, so I often have to crate him until he can calm down, and then continue to try to introduce. We are in an obedience course with him now and his reactivity to dogs has improved greatly, but still has these human reactivity problems. Its just very difficult to see the light at the end of this tunnel, but this video gave some really clear steps. One question I have- if I am walking my dog and someone comes towards us and he starts reacting, do I say "no," pop the collar(we use a prong), and then continue walking towards them? Usually i have to stop walking, move aside to let them pass, all while telling him "enough" and pulling up on the lead/popping it. Theres almost never a reaction with physical correction when he gets that triggered. Sorry for such a long comment! Hope my question makes sense!

[@skido5734]

Great video. I showed to my husband because he has a problem with our 13 month old GSD being reactive with him. I don’t have that problem with her. I did what you said to tell her no and follow with an adverse correction so that she understood what she was doing was unacceptable and I don’t have any more problems with her.

[@MarioKhoury]

[@jjbowman4653]

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I have a puppy who gets loud when he demands play from out older dog. She will try to walk away but he still demands. So I stand in front of him and move where he moves until he gives me his attention and we will do some training or I will take him on a walk.

[@GusI727]

Do not physically allow dogs or people to come into contact with your dog. I will use my leg as a barrier between wandering dogs in public places and if owner is around asl for them to recall their dog. Saying no to people who want to pet your dog is important, stand between them and the dog. You can say “sorry, he is learning to be more neutral in public so I am limiting interactions. But thank you for asking.” Real dog people will understand. You do that 20-100 times, your dog will realize you will protect their space.

[@1packatak]

@@GusI727 and I would add you, as the owner, need to do whatever you can to protect your dog. That includes protecting him from reacting, and from being the victim of a reactive dog.

[@manurewaboy]

Thanks for the great instructional video, I agree with you training advice 100%. I have a Rotti/Kelpie cross that suffered from terrible anxiety. That started with frequently letting her bladder go when we got her as a 10 week old puppy whenever she was frightened. We never reprimanded her for that although I did when she got older and started bailing people up. My wife bought home a hunting dog puppy (Bull Arab cross) for my birthday and she immediately adopted it as her baby. This gave her a purpose in life. Keep these excellent videos coming Boss, us old dogs and bitches still need to learn some new tricks!

[@jondoe4667]

I recently adopted a 3 year old rottweiler. He's given me some signs that he could get aggressive. Mostly territorial type stuff like going ape shit if anyone, or thing is near the wall around our yard. He's not thrilled when people come to the house. And he tries to kill the cat every time he sees it. So I'm incredibly cautious on our morning walks because there are a lot of people and dogs passing by. He usually looks pretty approachable but I always decline when people on the trail ask if they can pet him. I don't want to be the guy who says no he won't bite, then some stranger goes home minus 1 hand. My 14 year old boxer knows he's not even allowed to greet people unless he's invited first and you could beat me up in my home without him biting you. But the new rottweiler has only been with me for a couple weeks and I can't trust him to be nice yet. He's very dominant. I have to correct this because I don't need or want a dog that will bite. But I feel like keeping people away from him although it's safer for them I'm worried that it may just be amplifying the aggressive behaviors. I'll be working with a trainer soon and I hope he'll be able to show me how to correct this. Anyway I love watching you work with these dogs, and thanks for the video. 👍🇺🇲

Had this situation yesterday, was at large conservation area I go to, my dog is on long lead that is secured to my van. Working on his recall mostly this day. There is no one in this area at the time. Then stray dog shows up no owner in site. Dog is not aggressive but really gets in my dogs face . So other dog not leaving and my dog getting aggressive and had marked face of other dog. So I put my dog in the van shut doors but forget my windows are open and of course my dog comes flying out the window. I have never seen him do this before and it was a holy shit moment for me. So at this point I feel like I have messed up big time and I am sure you could hear me accross the lake. So now my dog in a down and other dog getting sort of listening to my words.

Wow, it's almost like this video was tailor made for a certain popular KZbin trainer. Also great point about people talking to their dogs when their words mean nothing. In behavioral terms this is known as primary vs. secondary stimuli. Words are secondary stimuli, their meaning has to be learned through experience, and can either be reinforcers or aversives based on the consequences associated them. For example, "No" is generally a learned aversive because the consequences for behavior after the word no is said are generally bad. Things like food or being hit on the head are primary stimuli, their effects on behavior do not have to be learned as they are automatic.

I totally agree with this guy.

[@caitlin5189]

my dog is mostly dog reactive - from excitement and nervousness. he will sometimes bark, lunge, and will ALWAYS whine. he's gotten better with the barking and especially the lunging... but how do i get him to stop whining and settle down when he is too excited?

[@caitlin5189]

i will try to be assertive & tell him to settle, distract him with treats, etc. but his mind is always elsewhere.. he's not present with me during those times

What kind of physical corrections? I'm new to this. I'm 45 and have never had a dog from puppy on and bought a German Shepherd. I'm fully disabled with PTSD and spinal issues. My GSD was perfect (besides play biting) then like a light switch one day he's reactivate to people. Love your video's and I'm sure I'll find one showing the corrections you're talking about.
