Training a Fear Aggressive Dog

  • In this video you will see Tyler Muto working for the first time with Nugget, a fear aggressive, semi-feral Caribbean Potcake dog who just arrived at his training center. When working with dogs like this, Tyler prefers not to follow a pre-determined, step-by-step approach. Rather, Tyler is carefully reading the dog moment to moment, and creating a dialogue through mutual understanding. In this video, you will see Tyler providing Nugget with very subtle give and take, to demonstrate to her that she is being listened to just as much as she is being given direction.
    With an emphasis on taking your time and listening to the dog, this is a great example how Tyler begins the process of rehabilitation for fearful dogs.

    I have a dog that shows the same behavior and it’s truly heartbreaking for me to see that sweet little girl being so fearful of the outside while she’s just an angel when she feels safe. This video is by far the most amazing one I’ve seen on how to deal with fearful aggressive dogs!!! I truly need to inspire myself from it!
    Thanks

      You just nailed on the head the key to seeing a dog make progress. You felt the Anxiety watching this right? Your anxiety is what the dogs will feed additional anxiety, its all about being calm and confident when handling dogs. If we as the human's in charge carry anxiety and fear with us especially when dogs are on a leash, they will pickup on that energy and perpetuate. When the humans bring confidence and calm assertive actions, the dogs feel safer and will treat others with more respect. Not all people have the skills to raise a dog, just like not all people have what it takes to raise a person, but we as a society allow it.

    Wow. As a person who was bit in the face by a dog when I was a child, this made me a nervous wreck. You have a true understanding of the psyche of dogs and you didn’t push her. But you did make her work out her uncomfortable feelings about you and that was awesome!

      Then don't watch him. His body language, when leaning over, is aggressive and the demand for eye contact is dominant. That dog is under unnecessary stress. He finally kneels and that is the first time his posture is nonthreatening and you see immediate results. The stressful beginning is completely unnecessary.

      @@paintedpony2935 I think your philosophy is different from Tyler's. I think you miss the point of the preliminary "conversation" (as Tyler so aptly defines it). I see the value in it as there is more to this than getting to the intermediate interaction (that comes later) as quickly as possible. The preliminary conversation is a critical part of the ultimate goal of teaching Nugget a realistic and healthy perception of social interaction. Her perception of threat and ability to trust people needs to change. Stress thresholds need to be subtly challenged with associations to different outcomes in order to develop more accurate perceptions and healthy pathways to trust.

    Ive always incorperated natural horsemanship into my dog training, but ive never seen anyone do joinup with a dog before. Great work! A fearful animal is a fearful animal, doesnt matter if they are predator or prey, the techniques to help should be similar. I have a fear aggressive dog atm, he is a covid baby and missed out on human socialisation at that critical age. I got hum from his breeder when he was 1, he is now 18 months old. He is great with other dogs, great with us, but any stranger is viewed as a real threat. We are doing weekly obedience and daily exposure to try and overcome his issues, he already has a bite history with 1 severe bite under his belt, ill keep up with the training and hopefully we can get through this.

    My dog has a MILD case of this. She's a rescue and there are some indicators that she was not so well treated by her previous owner. But she does respond well to a calm introduction and a treat. So I introduce her to new people by handing them a milk bone and telling them to let her come to them. Shortly after that, this invariably leads to a happy dog getting lots of pets which she craves. She's getting better and better as time goes on.

And i’ve been trying to introduce my partner to him slowly, we’ll definitely be trying some of the techniques here with my dog muzzled! The leash petting and the exposing neck was especially eye opening. Thank you for the video!

    I don't know how this video managed to show up on my feed but THANK GOD! My 2.5y/o frenchie showed exactly same behavior after I got him back from training camp. He was a lovely dog always playing with other dogs and people before I singed him up for training. After a month I took him back and he was fearful. Didn't allow anyone but me to touch him. He is good and does not do anything to anyone unless he is touched. He even jumps up on people and licks their face if you don't touch him. Now I know how people should approach

    I'm working with a dog that is so terrified of leash he screams when we place the slip lead on him and we have never been able to touch him unless he is scared of something else. We have found he is a major crate resource guarder, is very willing to bite, but more than anything just wants to run away. We're hoping that by teaching him a touch cue and that leashes = good things we will be able to start growing his confidence and work on his resource guarding. This video was very useful!

      That's the problem. Many dog trainers don't converse. They expect the dog to follow and they force it. They don't "earn" it.
      But there are movements that actually mainly work with dogs over body language and without direct conditioning, which I find quite intriguing.

    18 week rescue puppy....dropped off at 6.5 weeks. I don't feel my corrections for biting were harsh, but maybe any correcting was a problem. I need to look back when she first did this, for many weeks we would redirect her to a toy, chew stick. I realized a really soft voice works best, I keep training sessions very short, I use treats and praise, we play fetch but it's unstructured, she isn't required to sit, she drops tye ball so we throw it again....so i feel she's treated with fun and support. Today after eating I was letting her relax to digest, I stayed on the sofa, jiggled a toy to entice her to her bed...perhaps she knew nap time was coming, I do crate her for naps, I put in safe chews, which she seldom touches. i tracked her sleep wake needs, it seems she can't be awake for more than an hour, max 1.5 hrs, it's saturday, i suspect fetch went on too long...my husband was having fun, finally it's sunny...but perhaps she got too tired....anyway, she just changed, i hadn't corrected her, I'd like to watch what happened....maybe I should record my encounters. Problem is 99% are without this. I have no real idea how to stop, she goes nuts, runs around the room, will try to bite as she races by, she's snarling, i try not to react...lately i calmly put her in her crate for a couple minutes, usually we have this routine 3 times, by the third time out she's recovered and is sweet again....is this normal ?

    Thank you for not being a "treat feeder " trainer.... I have had a session with 2 trainers.... one was a treat for everything. I told her I do not treat train and she was more than put off. The second one came and said "where are the treats" to which I replied "you are here to train the human not the dog". I do not need you to give me atreat to train me "the human". He said I need to build a bond with the dog. I told him the only bond the dog needs is me. He showed me some exercises and what to look for and was a good help. She is now completely hand trained for all commands. Sometimes for a day, all she hears is my voice when I am talking on my cell. She has been broken of fear aggression towards humans. This trainer on this video is totally correct, watch the trigger sign and stop it before the dog reacts. I am in slow progress with other dogs. I treat when the task is completed and over. It can be done ... btw.... She is a 110 lb rottweiler strong willed with not a mean streak in her body. Always ( over ) praise because they live to please. But with a large protective dog , If you are not Alpha and don't want to be the pack leader at all times..... then be careful of the breed you choose. All dogs do know how to push their owner"s buttons.
