good morning adorable cuties and friend, your videos are always good and informative and your tips and tricks are always good, i love your all pets, they all adorable 🥰🥰😘😘❤❤
Thank you! Rescued a six year old mini aussie two years ago. I've been working on this every since. I needed this training, too! BTW, she is an awesome dog and doesn't pull on the leash any longer. But still scans everything far & wide. She had the same problem of rolling over to expose her belly. Not so much any more because now that behavior is only on the couch for good scratches.
the rolling over/exposing belly thing -- my boyfriend taught him from a young age to do that by PUSHING HIM TO ROLL OVER which I think is incorrect! He does it every time I come into the room the dog is in
I enjoyed this video. It's very informative to see training in real time to see your timing and how you give reinforcement. I love Sundae's puppy energy. He's a real beauty.
I wish I had found your channel when I got my mini Aussie puppy 2.5 years ago. My pup is leash reactive to the dogs in my building but he’s fine everywhere else and can run or hike reliably off leash with me. He just hates specific dogs in the building and is uncontrollable around them. I’m not sure how to fix that
Hi Anne, Welcome to our pack. I will do a video on this for you. I am sure there are others with this same problem. Right off the bat, is it in an elevator, or tight hall that he has the issue? Or with dogs that are too excited, large or loud? Try to examine the dogs and situations that trigger him and see if you can modify those situations.
Oh you’re very welcome. I love your training techniques and your dogs but you know very well. I love the Border Collie‘s also. Will you be doing anything with the young Border Collie’s gosh they must be a year and a half or two. years old already where does time go???
Yes, they are two! Right now we are working on off leash, come, stay, wait, so they can start working on corporate properties. I think Rosie is more likely to make a goose dog but time will tell.
Oh OK. Wow it sounds like you’re really doing some nice structured obedience with them. That was Rosy the one that is darker colored and not as large face blaze ? Well, hoping to see some RUclips of these two young girls soon
Quick question - although I’ve done a lot right with my Mini Aussie boy, he’s a high drive dog also and is very confident and super playful - Sundae reminds me a lot of him. I’m recognizing that I somehow conditioned poor leash walking habits with my boy (he wants to pull, constantly scanning, and will whine if he sees a cat or something that he wants to go interact with and can’t). He’s 3 years old now, but wanted to see if you’d recommend just doing the same things with him that you’re doing with Sundae despite that my boy is a little older? Feeling like it’s probably largely a connection thing so wondering if there’s anything I can do with him around the house as well to encourage further connection? (without treats, of course!) 😊
Hi Deb, Great question. Quick questions often don't have quick answers. I would stop taking this dog for walks until my leash training was much better. What I mean is take your leash walking time to walk him at home in your own yard. If you don't have a yard, drive him to a quiet parking lot someplace or open field, ball field whatever, where there are few or no distractions and do exactly what I am doing with Sundae, for maybe a month. Don't practice failure which means stop walking your dog where he does this because you are practicing failure. I will do a video on this.
Just as I demonstrate. Correct the dog and give it something else to do, like heel. If you can't correct you can put a bark collar on the dog and let it correct itself. But you still need to train it what you want it to do.
5:10 that doesn't hurt their neck/trachea? I saw other training videos of them pulling at horizontal level with a leash/lead. we got our dog a harness and hope that will help
Hi Irene, Thanks for your question. It can't hurt his neck/trachea because it is a slip harness. That is a slip lead over the head and through the left front leg. There is no way to "choke" or hurt the neck using this method.
I know you've mentioned it in a video before, but do you have a slip lead that you recommend? Our 3 year old is just like this when he sees other dogs. Does this kind of training work with squirrels, too? He's got a HUGE squirrel issue which makes walks a pain. It's hard to train against because squirrels are so unpredictable! Also, is it still okay to let him play with other dogs off leash in smaller gatherings? Or does that continue to condition the reactivity/frustration when he's on leash? Thanks!
The more they can play with other dogs off leash the less reactive they become. Let him play. Any supple slip lead that is not thick and stiff is fine.
I’m just seeing this video but I already saw it a while ago and this one said it was put up two days ago so I’m wondering if this is a new one or an old when you did a while back
Isn't barking a normal part of dog play for some dogs? My border collie was a very vocal dog. I used to hang my head in shame because he would bark at other dogs in an attempt to get them to run because he wanted to play chase. But then a I met a woman while we were on one of our walks and my shame went away. She told me my dog was just like the border collies she had watched the previous weekend at a sheep herding trial - they're noisy.
Border collies do not bark when herding. Aussies will, shelties, collies, but border collies work silent and use "eye". But at any rate I don't see any point in hanging your head in shame over something like a barking dogs. Dogs bark. But I am addressing leash reactivity type barking in this video.
These videos are GOLD. It helps seeing real time correction, intensity level, and hearing the reasoning for directions. Thank you!
Wow, thank you Anna!
Missing your videos! Have a happy Thanksgiving
How sweet to say! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
good morning adorable cuties and friend, your videos are always good and informative and your tips and tricks are always good, i love your all pets, they all adorable 🥰🥰😘😘❤❤

Scanning isn't an issue if they pay attention to you and keep a loose leash. Sounds like things are going well. Nice job. Thanks for your comment.

Hi bestie Dreamgaits ❤ happy Sunday ❤ you are amazing! Shared ❤ hugs from Hendo and Rita ❤
I will watch full video after my premiere ❤
XO Hendo!
Hi Hendo and Rita! Hugs from all the dogs, horses, cats, chickens, ducks, etc!
@@dreamgaits aww you are so sweet! Love all of you

Look how Matt was tolerant to Sundae 🤣 3:38 Matt is so friendly!
Matt is a doll.

Thanks for this feedback. It is longer than most of my videos but I was hoping people who could hang with it would see the progress.
Thank you for uploading this video❤
Hope you find it helpful.
@@dreamgaits Yes it is helpful as usual 😄

Not really structured. Totally off leash, stop, stay, wait, come but nothing fancy. They gotta have those to work off leash on corporate properties.
Oh that sounds wonderful. Do you do them together or separate?
Together. They will work together.
Nice. Hope to see them working soon even if it is just training.

I have exactly a dog like this. How do you stop the barking?

LOL I guess I posted it twice. I had a bunch of problems with computer then with editor so trying to get going again. Thanks for watching.
