My dog has an almost identical reaction to other dogs and sometimes it *is* disheartening. But dogs are *so* intuitive and can pick up on that; she needs to learn to staunch that and work on keeping a good attitude and maintaining positive associations towards others with her dog. She's feeding into his negative behavior.

      Vedrana Grbic that’s a little sad that this is what you got out of the video. “Dogs are angels.” They aren’t angels. They are living breathing animals. This woman has no control over herself so she has no control over her dog. As a result she abuses it.

      This happens with kids. People get nervous, think their kids are going to be bad, so they think “ I’ll stop them BEFORE they’re bad”. You assume they’re gonna be bad, and then, guess what, they act badly because that is the attention they get. You should expect good behavior, and you’ll get it. It is all in what behavior you reward and how. But you have to trust them.

    So happy I discovered this series. I have 2 GSDs; one is entrained to humans, listens well and is a joy to walk. Her brother is a nightmare. He is anxious and loud and obnoxious. He is entrained to his sister and not to me. Having watched several of these videos, I know where to begin to correct this. I've consulted with several trainers who have given me contradictory advice. If I were video recorded with my male dog, I think I would come across as defensive, so I have compassion for this woman. She is demonstrating courage and a willingness to help her dog. So good for her.

    Wow. I needed this. I'm a first time dog owner, and I can COMPLETELY understand how I've been leash training wrong. I've been correcting while giving commands and not truly understanding my fault till this video.
    Thank you so much for sharing this lesson. I have a great Dane pup who is an absolute sweetheart, but has started to show nervousness while on leash. I now see this has everything to do with how I am commanding presence alongside of him. Growing up my family had a dog that was leash aggressive so I've been slightly nervous that he might end up with like
    My nerves are being passed to him and this video helped me see that

    • @joepell7190
      @joepell7190 4 года назад +1

      K Marie if your dog doesn’t freely offer behaviors you should not be giving it commands. Commands come after the dog has freely offered a behavior with consistency, then you pair it with a word. If you just start with commands, it no different than corrections, you are coercing your dog into performing tricks. Even jumping over obstacles - I stood next to something that my dog could jump over. Eventually she jumped over it and I rewarded her. She likes that, so she CHOOSES to do it again because she WANTS the reward. Now when I ask her to jump over things she is doing what she knows she wants to do, and she enjoys it. She gets SO EXCITED when I set up the bar for her to jump over, honestly she typically jumps over as soon as I set it up, before I can give her the command

    Nice video, thank you - seeing some of my own flaws with my dog from the owner you are training there. I think for some it can be a vicious circle - dog reacts to something so you correct, next time you see the thing he reacted to you are automatically on guard and nervous, so the dog reacts to that, then you over correct...and boom, dog is now even more reactive and on it goes. Takes a lot of zen to be calm in every circumstance that may be thrown at you, so thank you for the video, very nice job of explaining to the owner how to behave.

  • @ab935
    @ab935 5 лет назад +4

    I wonder how many of the people who have something bad to say about the owner actually have well trained dogs. It's very difficult to not be reactive, and most people are lying to themselves and the world when they say they are not reactive. A simultaneous NO and leash pop are very common. It's supposed to be no and if the dog doesn't comply even though it knows the command, then leash pop.
    I hate when people who know nothing criticize somebody who is spending a fortune to get training.
    Especially when it's easier and cheaper to send the dog to the pound.

    Most dog "problems" are actually caused by the dog handler. The best dog trainers train people.

    6:00 sums it up, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM- HE'S GOOD. I GOTTA WORK ON YOU!" I like this trainer and his advice to not over correct makes perfect sense. I am getting a dog and don't know much about training so I welcome the chance to learn. So far what I am finding is that dog owners create most of the problems out of their own fears and insecurities. They often anticipate problems where there are none. They will then often create unnecessary anxiety (in an otherwise mostly calm dog) e.g., when they see other dogs, someone comes to the door, etc. They over correct the dogs and overwhelm them too often by using both physical and mental negative corrections. This in turn makes the dog more nervous and associate daily life/events to negativity. How would we like getting yanked on the neck and yelled at every time we did something less than perfect- or every time another human walks by (even if we didn't do anything wrong)? It would be exhausting. It's all about associative conditioning, calming down and not over correcting. A tired (well walked) and confident dog has less need to be aggressive. On the other hand, a nervous/anxious and insecure dog (because he is over corrected all of the time) will naturally tend to be more aggressive. Think about the awful scenario of a dog fight. Before the fight, the dog's owner does assertive physical and verbal "corrections" or commands. To the dog, it's almost the same thing as what well intending owners do routinely just on a less intense scale but in it's hourly repetition the affects can be similar. Without intending to, over doing it basically is like getting them primed to do battle. Instead, if we relax, the dog will tend to relax as well. Poor training can actually teach aggression. Then there is the whole high energy, high pitched way many owners talk to their dogs that gets them over excited at times when they are already stimulated (e.g., They smell food and you sing..."Wanna Eat?" They see you getting their lease and then you sing..."Wanna Go Out Side?" They hear the doorbell and smell an animal on the other side of the door and then you sing..."Who's At the Door?" Also, giving positive reinforcement (Petting and verbal praise) and the wrong time reinforces what you don't want. If the dog anxiously sits or stops jumping for a split second, just let them be. Not a time to praise them. We are actually acknowledging our own relief to what they did when we do that. My take away is it's often best for people to smile or frown inside but talk and touch less. Have that quality relationship that starts with us first and values understanding and caring over control. I look forward to watching more of his videos and learning more.

    I have a 2 yr. old Rottie whom has aggression towards people not other dogs. But only when person is by themselves. If the person has a dog then there’s no aggression towards the person it’s really weird. Also aggressive towards person on skates, bike, or skateboard. Other than that he’s a great dog.

    Unintended experiment years ago... took my dog to the dog park. I was nervous he might get in a fight, some more agressive dogs were there. No surprise, some aggression between dogs, i tried to handle it, with not so great resilts.
    The next day, i went to the park, same dogs there daily. I was relaxed, and didnt make a big deal of it. I didnt try to control the situation, just relaxed and watched. The difference was amazing. Mingus handled himself well, probably because he didnt feel the need to protect (or listen to!) a nervous me. No problems.
    I learned a lesson in calm confidence that day. Train my dog, then trust him to do what he has been taught. He needs to be able to trust me, that I can handle thing, so he doesnt feel he has to take control. Its that trust, both ways, that can make all of the difference. It IS the relationship and bond between master amd dog that can make working together either a pain or a pleasure.

    That just made so much freaking sense it’s mind blowing. I just got my dog, a 3 year old staffy, from the shelter and every time I take her for a walk and another dog approaches I immediately get nervous because I don’t know her background with other dogs I just know she was fine around them at the shelter but put tension on her leash which ultimately leads to her pulling towards the other dog and trying to get to it. It’s not aggressive but the way it’s going it could lead to that. She gets overly excited and wants to say high but she clearly has a bit of a dominant streak in her around other dogs, tail raised and placing her head over the other dogs neck to show dominance, and I’ve never realized she does it because she’s feeding off my nervous energy. She’s absolutely amazing with people and loves everyone, although could use some work on jumping up but I’m fixing it. In the back yard she would always run to the fence and bark at the neighbors dogs but I’ve fixed that and she’s a lot calmer now, all I have to do is fix my habit and hers when she’s on the leash around other dogs

      What a dumb thing to say. Self righteous much? She’s seeking professional help to equip herself to help the dog become more comfortable and well trained. More than 90% of dog owners would do and certainly more than many of the self righteous commenters on RUclips do.

    • @aarondrossart6026
      @aarondrossart6026 4 года назад +5

      She sought out help and paid for a trainer. Even if you know what you're doing (which you probably don't, because you think that some people can have big dogs (as if it's really any different than a small dog) and others can't), it's not your place to judge this situation. As for the "power breed", whatever. A trained dog is a trained dog. I've seen people who have a 10 pound lap dog who is so poorly trained that they pick them up whenever they are outside the house. It doesn't mean that the dog is bad, it means that they dog has learned that if they so something(growl, bite, bark), they get a certain reaction(getting picked up). The moral of the story is..... you don't know what you're talking about, so stop trolling people who are looking for help from professionals.

    • @joepell7190
      @joepell7190 4 года назад +1

      Aaron Drossart so because she is seeking help after she had the dog for however long and has abused it for however long, everything is just ok? Seems legit. I hope you don’t have a dog man

    • @aarondrossart6026
      @aarondrossart6026 4 года назад +4

      @@joepell7190 That's not at all what I said... lol. I do not have a dog man (because that would imply that my theoretical dog is a mix between a dog and a man), though I do have two dogs, man. They are lovely and well trained. Both were abused prior to me getting them and now they are well socialized and trained.
      I was not speaking to how she treats her dog, I was speaking to how she's seeking out help (because that's the only thing that we see, we don't see her day to day interactions with the dog). Yes, she seems like she doesn't know how to handle the dog... just like some parents don't know how to handle their kid(s) responsibly... but she's seeking out help, and that's certainly a good start. Also... you don't know how long she had the dog, you don't know if she abused the dog. If she did, she's gonna go burn and the dog should be taken from her, but in your own statement you said "for however long" twice, implying that nobody knows except her and the trainer.
      The point of my post is that:
      1. you don't need to be a powerful person to be an owner of a big dog
      2. she's seeking out help and that's a good start.
      No excuses for animal abuse or mistreatment coming from this guy (as someone who has taken 2 dogs out of abusive houses). Also, look at the body of comments before you take things out of context, man.

    I liked this one. Never really noticed that my demeanor changes when other dogs come around. I have a Chow/GSD mix who is a wonderful loving dog, but at the same time she is big and powerful. Trying to anticipate aggressive behavior (an attempt to stop problems before they happen causes me to react profalacticly). It seems so obvious now how this could be stressful and/or confusing to the dog. Great work, I enjoy the videos I've seen, and really enjoy knowing their are people out there helping these animals who get a bad name a majority of the time. For the most part it's very true, no bad dogs only bad (misinformed) owners
