Watch my MOST COMPREHENSIVE Tutorial on Aggression & Reactivity Next: Most Complete Aggressive Dog Training Tutorial (using Positive Reinforcement) ruclips.net/video/pUSQVdaAV5c/видео.html
This is right on time! After a REALLY difficult walk (more like a dragging...Lol) last night, I was very frustrated, embarrassed, and dejected as a Dog Mom because I don't feel I'm meeting our pup's needs so he can enjoy an evening outside in a calm and relaxed state of mind. This morning I regrouped and determined that loose leash walking needed to take a back seat to his addressing his reactivity. I can't expect him to walk calmly at my side if he's triggered by every car, person, and dog he sees. Thank you, Jenna!!! I'm in tears with relief that my intuition was on point and for finding your channel.
I don't fully agree with mistake 2, but I think it depends on the dog and the point you're at in training. My dog and I are still on our recovery journey, but one thing he has gotten VERY good at is recovering after going over threshold. When we first started training, once he'd gone over threshold once, we had to be done for the day, and he'd take several hours to fully recover. Now, he can lunge and bark at a dog, and be perfectly fine, calm and happy only moments later. This has really helped us to be able to have more effective training because we can still get stuff done even if he has a reaction. Of course I still try to avoid getting to that point in the first place, but when it does happen, he can recover very quickly. Appreciate the video!
Thanks for this! This summer I had a consult with a behaviorist and then a single training session with a non-behaviorist trainer at the same company, and I've been feeling so ambivalent about booking another session with that company. I don't know if they just didn't believe me that my dog is reactive, the trainer forgot, or what, but we spent HALF that session on loose leash walking, and it wasn't even a training technique primarily focused on positive reinforcement. Feel much more secure about NOT going back to them.
Yes!!! I'm so glad you see this. I completely agree - if anyone is trying to "fix" behavioral problems with loose leash walking, they don't understand behavioral problems.
Your channel has been soo helpful for me-teaching me how to work with my very shy/fearful rescue puppy. Could you do a video on how to make shy dogs more comfortable with people? My dog is only really comfortable with me and cowers away from other people
Hey there!! My video coming on this coming Tuesday is going to be my most comprehensive tutorial ever on resolving fear-related behaviors. It's going to have the word "aggressive" in the title. But I want you to disregard that and watch the tutorial anyway. What you've described here can absolutely be helped with the techniques I describe in that video. So make sure you watch it!!!!!

The neurology of aggression. Cool! Let's do it!
