Are We Reinforcing Fear?

  • Are We Reinforcing Fear? The key is that we are relying on the socially gregarious nature of dogs. When they know that they have low stress options for ending unwanted social interactions, not only can they abandon the more high-stress (and inappropriate) behaviors, but they also tend to become more socially experimental. In due time, their threshold zones shrink, and they become more and more manageable.

    Thank you! I catch so much flack from other dog owners for how closely I manage their interaction. "They are just playing." My dog is not having fun and is clearly showing that, remove your asshole dog. "They need to sort it out between themselves." My dog is a 90 lbs shepherd, trust me, you don't want him to sort this out for himself.
    My puppy should never learn that he has to really snap to remove himself from a bad situation, that's what I'm there for.

      I totally agree with you on every point you have made observations on. 💖
      Some owners have no idea, and they assume that they can use human thinking on dogs which is not helpful at all.

    Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. When I was first working on my training cert, I heard this “petting a scared dog rewards fear” advice from so many trainers. I still do. I was never taught that petting a certain way could actually be productive - instead I thought I needed to play tough, back off, and help her sort it out in completely impersonal ways. It’s so good to see someone create some clarity on this.

    this was eye opening for me. having a reactive dog and always worrying that treating her for looking at me after she was barking at some dog might be rewarding her for barking drove me crazy. nice to know that even if that was the case she would eventually bark out of excitement for getting a treat rather than fear.

    • @sophiesmith5922
      @sophiesmith5922 3 года назад +5

      If you can get your dog to look away from the other dog and look at you and sit, you are now rewarding a correct response, not the reactivity. Practicing this at a safe enough distance for the dog to succeed but close enough for it to matter works. But to do so frequently enough to get results may require recruiting helpers with dogs, or just joining a training club. I joined a club and it was life changing for my dog.

  • @sophiesmith5922
    @sophiesmith5922 3 года назад +1

    Great explanation by example of operant conditioning. Teach the dog what you expect and allow him to succeed to build confidence. And of course pay attention so your dog isnt over the top nervous or reactive before you intervene, because that sets him up to fail.

    Honestly, this channel is much more informative than bigger channels like Zak George and Upstate Canine Academy - although maybe not as entertaining. I've learned a lot from those channels, but I wouldn't have picked up on the subtleties of what they're doing if it wasn't for the more informative videos on this channel. You deserve more subscribers.

    Awesome video! Great job explaining things in a way people can understand. I wish I had heard reactivity explained in this way a year ago when I first got my dog from animal control. He has already come a long way in reducing reactivity but this video helps me understand even more about his perspective and what I should be doing and focusing on to help him. THANKS!

    I wonder if maybe the whole “don’t pet your nervous dog” came about also as a way to prevent dog bites caused by fear?

    • @itraindogs9375
      @itraindogs9375 4 года назад +1

      Dogs When I’ve told my clients to not pet their nervous dog, it’s usually because I have the dog and owner on an “affection” diet or if I’ve determined that the owner genuinely does not possess strong enough energy to make a situation better through touch.

    • @CamilleGG451
      @CamilleGG451 4 года назад +1

      How funny, I just used that word 'sane' in describing him as well 😄 (Well sanity is refreshing these days) He's very reasonable, intelligent, calm, loving and balanced in his approach I would say. Really love his style!

    • @sophiesmith5922
      @sophiesmith5922 3 года назад +1

      No, it came about because dogs dont respond the way humans do. Sometimes if a dog is really wound up nervous and reactive theycan even redirect on you and bite you. Why would you pet the dog at that moment? Require calm obedience and eye contact, if you need to, remove them from the situation enough to get that calm obedience. Do it all firmly but calmy. Dogs need to build confidence first and structure helps.

    But the problem is that it's VERY hard to find the right dog to do that "over and over and over" again part now that my dog only reacts if the other dog reacts. Since walking by another person with a dog that reacts is few and far between, how can I get my dog past this point?

    @juliedon3027 5 лет назад +2

    Great and very helpful. My dog is a rescue puppy farm breeder, super anxious with other dogs. I never take her to dog parks but avoiding other dogs is only achievable if she stays home. She doesn’t bark or lunge but shakes and hyperventilate. Different dog at home but outside is a scary world.
    I have try food rewards out on walks with success but can’t distract her if we meet another dog on a walk. She pulls on lead to escape .
    I have had her for 18 months with no change in behaviour. She is a whippet, and was kept ina run for 2 years. Any help would be appreciated.

    @empitts 5 лет назад +1

    Thanks 😊 My dog was never reactive until after being attacked on leash during a walk by a so called friendly loose dog in front of it's home; she was 18 months. Since then she's continuously reactive unless I distract her. First I give her comfortable space, then I have her sit and look at me. She's doing well but I wish we could return to the relaxed dog that she was. Ideas?
    She's a spayed 3.5 year old UKC White Shepherd. We've been training through our local Humane Society of which all the trainers are certified animal behaviorists.

      Elaine Pitts I would seek out a different trainer/training philosophy. Often humane shelters partner with purely positive trainers that have a very limited skill set.
      I’m not knocking the purely positive trainers but they often don’t provide tangible results in a reasonable time.

    • @GypsyGirl317
      @GypsyGirl317 2 года назад +1

      Elaine I recommend you keep doing what you are doing and be patient with your beautiful girl.
      This video is excellent.
      I have the same problem with my dog for the same reason, and I am working on giving him the command "leave it", and rewarding him with a treat when he stays focused on me and stops growling or barking.
      I have been watching Michael Ellis here on Leerburg as well and he's excellent.
      I also recommend Upstate Canine Academy channel, Tom Davis is phenomenal. 💖 😊 🙆🏻‍♀️
