@@hamiltondogtraining Haha. I totally deserved that ! Shame on me for not watching the video. No excuse. Please accept my sincere apologies for doubting you.
Your modules have helped me to shape my Malinois’ behavior from super fearful to a more neutral space. Before he came to me, he experienced a lot of abuse and was so reactive fearful to everyone who isn’t me or my partner (we both are blonde with blue eyes and the people who hurt him have dark hair and brown eyes - we live in Central America) and to motorcycles or vehicles with similar sounds. We still have a long way to go but the difference is night and day. I really appreciate your deep dives into the minds of our dogs. My Mali is learning to scent for when I have hypoglycemia (I’m t1d) and is incredible at accurately detecting it, and I am working on getting him more comfortable and confident to practice more in public places. There’s one cafe that he feels safe in and hopefully over time, I can help him to find neutrality everywhere we go. Thank you! ✨✨✨
Hey Miles! Thanks to you (and an amazing balanced trainer in my country) my Yorkie is doing much better with his combo reactivity. He would get frustrated towards small dogs and cats but he gets scared at big dogs. I took him to a park with lots of cats and he is now way more desensitized and won’t freak out. Now we just need to work on the chasing 😂. With big dogs we still have some way to go, specially if they are male, but he is doing MUCH better. Your videos have not only given me the confidence to go and seek out distractions, but the clarity/arguments to defend e-collars. Imagine people trying to say I abuse my dog when I bust out terms they have mot even heard of 😂 One question though. My main challenge right now is people who walk their dogs off-leash. They usually come to us to say hi. I am trying to get him to be more neutral and it is slowly working. He can now disengage from small dogs and cats. But dogs keep running into us on our walks. We don’t have many park options so it is not like I can change locations. Any tips on this? Do I just keep the meetings short and sweet and keep working on our obedience? Thanks in advance for the amazing work you do by training us humans, so we can train WITH our dogs better 🥰
I have not finished watching but already I am so grateful for this post - as always you explain things so well. You are a wonderful teacher! Big thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
I have 2 rescues. Repeating to myself: Dogs live in the moment. Their reactivity is primarily genetic. Their history, real or imagined, is not an excuse for an unwanted behaviour. Mixed breed 50% GSD - starting to get it!!
Thank you for this video, my dogs not ‘reactive’ but has a phobia of people due to poor early socialisation before he came to me as well as a dodgy genetics. It’s good to see I am on the right track with doing what I can to keep him from becoming reactive.
Perhaps this isn’t exactly the same, however, when you talked about changing/correcting the behavior instead of emotion it reminded me of Andrew Huberman on how changing our physical state changes the state of mind.
Your content is absolute gold! Thank you! I wish that besides genetics, you would've also addressed the impact of lack of socialization during the appropriate life stage
There is very little impact that lack of early socialization has on most of dogs. Working dog with extreme genetic predisposition may require more throughout socialization from young age because the demand of the work (perform complicated tasks correctly during huge amount of stress). Pet dogs don't face such high demand, so even lack of early socialization doesn't get in the way of getting pet dogs to off leash trained level (obey core "simple" commands). Many well bred dogs even those that stay on farm for most of their early lives, can easily transit to city life as pet dogs, without much training, socialization. Many reputable breeders of pet dogs kennels reside in rural areas, too. Genetics are still very much the main driver of dogs mental strength.

Thank you for a great video! I’m a dog trainer myself and I’m wondering when you start exposing the dog when you first meet the client for a consultation. I’ve heard that some trainers who only work with emotions and positive reinforcement say that you should start with long distances, walking in an arc past the other dog in a controlled setting (such as during a consultation). These trainers advise clients to avoid walks until the dog is ready to encounter other dogs/walks. They tell clients to hold off on walks if the dog isn’t ready to meet other dogs on a walk. I haven’t quite understood what they mean. They always train in a controlled manner during a consultation, keeping a long distance at first and then gradually moving closer, using treats to reward the dog for looking at them, and so on. How would you approach this? Does their method work as they say? Or do you begin exposing the client’s dog to real-life encounters in the very first consultation, or maybe the second consultation, or when?
I used to bet train dog professionally. Now semi retired and mostly train pet dogs for friends, and help with sport training. While I can't talk for Miles and this channel behalf, I am very qualified to respond to your comment and question. Sorry to say this, but it sounds like you're not qualified to take people money to train their dogs. You're uncertain of your own ability. Still swayed by some other trainers' opinions. If it's to improve yourself, you can very much experiment other people ideas. Go to seminar, to ask questions directly, seeing demonstration. Else, either you should have a system, skills that you believe in. You're in teacher, professional position. If you have to ask students' questions, you have to go back to school first (long working on teaching others). So if you're unsure , you should go work as intern for a competent experienced trainers that deal with even the most difficult cases. This channel system is for dog owners to train their own dogs.
@@lukeryuzaki2328 If you have been a serious dog trainer before, shouldn't you watch this video yourself to gain new knowledge? Since you’re already such a skilled, experienced trainer? You should already know how to do it! Your comment to me is just embarrassing! It says more about you as an unserious old trainer than it does about me. I really don’t believe that you’ve been a dog trainer or are even a serious dog trainer for your friends, as you seem to claim, by belittling my questions! I think your comment is rude and very unintelligent.
Hey Miles, thanks for the gold quality videos for free, I have been watching them all for the last few days and my walking has improved a lot Do you like to use Food reinforcement to increase the interest of the dogs to play fetch ? Thanks
Play itself is the positive reinforcement reward. It sounds like you're unknowingly adding rules too soon and make your dog uninterested in play. The play itself is also a kind of training. So go research on play based training.
Do you have any experience with primitive sighthounds? I have a well bred Azawakh and I'm interested in your program. They are a guardian breed, so I've run into some reactivity with my boy (I'm getting help from his breeder, as well and it's going pretty well, he's improving every day). I'm also interested in having him and my APBT mix working for me off leash. 😊
@@hamiltondogtraining Great! The structure you have around your courses is so good and is something that is really missing in the online industry for raising a puppy.
3:23 is my dog! He barks and tries to get to the person/dog but when I hold him back he's actually shaking like a leaf, terrified of them. He was a shelter dog (we got him at 2) and he was born June 2020 to an old lady so he didn't get to socialize... I'm trying to help him, but idk how 😩
My dog is reactive to dogs hes never met. Seems mostly if not all excitement. He just wants to play. Funny thing is hayes aggressive play and honestly prefers fetch to other dogs
Don’t do stuff like this. Keep it private. Making this public over such a small thing is basically a low level attack on the biz. You sent one email and it didn’t work out. Send another
Sorry! I can't guarantee a response to every email, comment or DM - we get hundreds every day. If I missed you, send again! My top priority is, and will always be, on helping our paying clients - I respond to them before I respond to texts from my mom
You missed frustration.
Pin of shame! Always watch the video before you comment on it, silly goose
9:30 ....lol gotta pay attention when the teacher is speaking 😂

This is one of the most important dog training videos on YT - if you know you know. 🤘

Can't wait for the next video!!!!!!

Thank you for SUCH GREAT CONTENT!!

28:33 can really be used in many places not just with dogs, im going to use this in life!
Omg I love this guy! Wish I lived closer to Hamilton. I sure would train with him.
Awesome vid 💯. When I take my German Shepherd to the market I think I need a blanket that says "don't pet me" .... People 🙄
Thank you for making things so clear! 🙂
Happy to help!
Great video!! Where can I find the next steps and some examples for getting started with managing reactivity?

Great videos! thank you! If I have 2 reactive border collie, should I work with them separetely or same time if they have similar reactivity types?
All training is done separately.

This video has been helpful, but what punishments can i do? 😩 i try to punish, but it doesnt phase him when hes locked in
Puppy course for new owners when?
Probably in 3-4 months

Hi Miles. How do I transition my dog from Prong to regular leash? Should I always keep him on a prong? Ihave a super reactive Yorkie by the way lol
We transition from the prong to the e-collar and train dogs to be off-leash
Can't get past the security features on your website....!
