[@kaysharogers32]

I'm blown away that this awesome resource has been made available to the public. Thank you Mike and Trish for your generosity and expertise

[@DoggyU]

Excellent video! I recommend this webinar to all of my clients. Thank you for making it available!

[@aliciabrillante]

Thank you so much for making this video free. This is so helpful!

[@yogiyoda]

I volunteer walking dog in the shelter and loved the shelter dog section. Thank you for the video!

[@josiebeug2919]

Great video! I worked in shelters for 8 years before going to vet school. You explained things really well, many things that I just do automatically at this point. And yes to the slip lead usage.

[@pennybolton909]

As usual a very nice calm presentation about situations that are anything but calm. I have used so many of your tips in our shelter.

[@Smokeybluetheraccoon]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for posting this!

Thank you so very much for these videos!These have helped me tremendously!My one dog is very leash reactivate so I’m practicing all your techniques and it has made such a difference!

I'm back for a second watch! Looking forward to the seminar in November, and currently enjoying the podcast. Just here to drop off some R+ because it's overdue! I've said 'YES. THIS!' so many times listening to and reading things you've produced, so I wanted to say thanks.

[@dactyl63]

Thank you both for sharing your expertise with pro trainers and dog owners. Very understandable and super practical information.

We have a quiet dog program at the local shelter. We only reward or approach the quiet dogs. When I visit, I ask for a sit. If they don't sit but are still quiet, will say go to your bed, then throw the treat on the bed. Wouldn't give a treat for them jumping even on the cage though. Unfortunately the local shelter only allows their treats, usually hard milkbones. Still works though. Very shortly, all the dogs are quiet and usually either sitting or waiting their turn. Hope that helps.

Thanks for this video! And working in the Shelter medicine it makes me feel bad when I have to 'dive in'. Her method makes me not feel that bad.

[@fignewton8202]

Thank you SO much for this video! Excellently explained. I have searched and searched for someone to actually demonstrate these tools and strategies in action and finally, you’ve done it. I feel a lot more confident in handling off leash dogs after watching this video!

Thanks, Michael and Trish!

Really great info, thank you for creating this!

I spent a year in Grenada where most of the pothounds, although loose, are owned and usually shy away. I don't believe that's the case in India. Pretty sure they're feral and can be aggressive. Would be nice if vet students could at least spay/neuter and vaccinate for rabies in India like in Grenada. Michael Shikashio has a video from 3 years ago on defensive handling or emergency scenarios that is very helpful. I believe Cabral and Leerburg have something on it as well. Mostly stepping up and being an advocate for your own dog - getting in front of your dog and telling the other dog in no uncertain terms to go home. Doesn't really help when the dogs are not owned. Am guessing the guy from India could try the treat bomb - throwing a handful of treats towards the stray dogs so that at least gives him enough time to get out of there with his dog. Am sure those dogs are probably hungry enough. Really don't want to get bit or his dog get bit by those feral dogs as the feral dogs might actually have rabies. Hope that helps.

thank you so much, this is awsome!

[@Thevirtualheeler]

Have to say Mike. This is the best up to date "with the times" publicity offering in this topic. Can we chat about blasting some $ on youtube for paid advertisement. This should truly get out there. 💪🏼

[@tenaciousdogtraining]

Thank you for sharing! I always learn something new in your videos.

[@RealLife2019.]

Can anyone give a list of these products on the dog attack tool kit part? I can find the dog horn thing. I’m in the U.K? Thank you

[@karenjohnston3915]

Thank you so much, this is fabulous.

[@autodifessa_per_donne]

Does the Treat Bomb technique, not reward aggressive behaviour. Yes it might get you out of this situation, this time, but might it not simply build up a pattern of behaviour? A great video, thank you.

[@laylaflame]

Did the treat bomb today, worked a charm!

[@dorottyajakab9371]

Good presentation, good tips, I learned from it, thank you for it. Although, I do not agree with Trish about how to break up a fight. You would never break up fights between eg. amstaffs with water or noise.. That would only work on not real fights. If a dog really wants do to a damage to another, you would need another technique and not water or noise.

[@criktun3346]

If a head halter is okay, what is wrong with a slip lead or prong collar or e collar? They all use -R…

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

Get a leash with a handle closer to the dog, if you look up military leash you will find plenty of this style. I learned the hard way when I held my dog by his harness, it wasn't an aggressive situation but my dog is reactive and so was spinning to face the other dog and my hand got caught which wasn't fun for either of us.

[@Thevirtualheeler]

Dual handle Mil spec leashes are the only way to go for all training! cross training Especially.. "Proactive/reactive" confidence in the handler... nets dogs whom reduce the need for leashes all together. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I tend to take my dog off her leash as we approach.

[@stevekowalski7453]

This is a dog trainer?

[@nsh1772]

One of the most educated ones

[@farrahbranson1836]

YES
