What would you do if you have a dog that pulls, but as soon as we use this leash to do a quick pop of the leash they fall on the ground and lay on their back in a submissive position? It’s like an extreme opposite, and still unable to go for a successful walk. He’s a year old boy & was just adopted a month ago. He’s come far, but walks are our challenge. TYIA
Thank you ❤
😀😀😀😀😀😀
Mr. Atherton, what would you do to a bonded pair GSD which appeared to have resource guarding on you, toys, and food? Also the male doesn’t like to be corrected like if you pull him away from fighting with his sister? He would growl at you but later concedes. I put prong collar on both of them. But i also have a dog. The female sometimes doesn’t like my aussie nearby.
Do you have any videos where the dog is more reactive to every stimuli
Hello, whats the name of the collar you used? I tried on amazon looking for but it doesnt show me . thank you
My dog would have totally flipped seeing those other dogs. Are you sure this dog wasn't already trained?
I feel like such a bad owner, I’m so inconsistent with the training cause sometimes I feel hopeless. Off to buy a slip lead and try that
What kind of leash should I use for this training? P leash?
I don’t think there is any hope for my dog to ever calm down. I rescued him four weeks ago from a shelter. He is a four year old bull terrier mix and goes psycho when he sees another person or dog. I don’t think it’s aggression because after having him three weeks my daughter came over with her two dogs and they played the entire time. We went to her house on Thanksgiving with many people there and again he played with his “cousins” even going in the lake swimming! He went up to everyone there. Why then does he act crazy with me on walks?
👍
Just got a 14 week old border heeler … this page has given me confidence in being a leader and has giving me confidence in being capable of raising my dog to be amazing truly this channel is amazing
I have watched so many videos and have so many conflicting ways of Training a dog I'm confused. I rescued a 10month cockerpoo and he is very reactive to other dogs and now traffic! It's making me so stressed. I have tried treat, toys etc but he is only focused on what's coming and going.
i will try this with my dog, but she is CRAZY . way more reactive and psycho compared to this dog.
My dog is good now at not overreacting to other dogs at a distance. But she still lunges/attempts to bite if she's within a couple feet of the other dog. How do I train her to simply sniff the other dog and chill out?
This os so brilliant
Can someone tell me what that leash is called? Thank you!
I have had a JRT rescue dog for 7 weeks now, and little is known of his past. He is very reactive on the lead with other dogs, so much so that my pet insurance will not include cover for his aggression. I have tried the vibrator collar used at the highest pitch, with no help. He is always focused on looking for other dogs on walks. What is the lead you are using in this video? Is it worth buying a humane muzzle for him? Thank you.
This is an "extremely reactive" dog? That dog looks very calm. Nothing like my dog that is truly crazy on a leash – severe anxiety and reactivity, and there's nothing I can do, say, or give him to get his attention – he becomes 100% fixated on his triggers (which is pretty much everything), and not at all food motivated. We can't even get his harness on him without severe anxiety and anticipation. I really wish these videos would show a truly "extremely reactive" dog, because this dog isn't it.
My 1 year old is driving me crazy. I get pissed off yell at her and I'm mean and don't know what to do.😢
Whenever I put the slip leash on a client's dog, the immediate reaction is "Oh, I need such a leash".
What they forget is that they need much more than just the leash. It is much more about the energy of the handler, the no-nonsense attitude, the perfect timing, and the perfect balance between reward and correction (to avoid the word "punishment" since clients tend to dislike it).
The slip leash is just a helper, a communicator if you will. It's not meant to hold back the dog's body. It's meant to control the dog's brain.
As soon as you put a sliplead on my dog he tries chewing it :/
Fuck I screwed up… I rewarded for loading. Dog is a new rescue, was reactive to just small dogs on our meet and greet but she goes nuts at any dog now. Hopefully I can fix it, I'll go down to the park early tomorrow and practice just keeping her attention on me. Walks fine most of the time just as soon as she sees dogs, and a bit worried about how she showed a bit similar to a child.. she's five and I've had her for one day, gotta get that attention. Can I do this in the home as well though? She's fantastically behaved indoors so, would be good to do it where it's easy to get her attention, get her use to the lead corrections and looking at me
Wow… really impressive. Gonna try this. First I realise I need a new lead. The harness is doing me no favours!!
I think this is great. However, that collar can't really be used on an 8 pound dog and collars shouldn't be put around small dogs because they can have (or it can lead to) collapsing trachea. So my question is what would you do if your dog is doing the same thing that Poppy was doing, but you can't use that type of collar (or any collar. Harness needs to be used)? Would you instead use a front clip harness?
Does this same training apply to a dog who will not stop barking at guests when they come over? Really struggling with it with my little rescue. ACD/Collie/Ausie mix.
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
What’s the neck rope collar Will is using to help lead and train Poppy?
Thank you for clarifying the difference in reactivity between fear based and confidence based. My 3 year old rescue pitbull is a very confident boy. He is reactive to some dogs, usually larger dogs, but he seems happy to greet them and then gets reactive after a few seconds. I need to work on my leadership so he looks to me in those situations. I really enjoy your helpful videos
Would a choker chain be just as good ,or pull correction chain ? Or do I need better equipment
Where can I buy this lead in the US?
Could you explain what the difference is between the two? Like my dog is very reactive on the lead but I don't know if it's fear based or not, he's a rescue was abused as a puppy by his old owners, never been on a leash, never been outside, skin and bones and flea ridden! He's doing amazing now but apart from the reactivity to other dogs. Like he'll sniff one dog off the lead and then see the same dog on the lead and go furious? Any help is appreciated!
I recently adopted a dog (3 weeks ago). He’s a rat terrier/cattle dog mix and I know which these two breeds there anxiety and pent up energy that has to be redirected. I’ve been watching your videos since I got him and I’ve been practicing walking methods with him. He does well with other dogs off leash-even on leash when he approaches he doesn’t bite but he jumps on them and makes loud whining sounds. I try not to speak to him when he does that since he doesn’t listen. I recently got a martingale collar which he does not care for. I’m waiting for his gentle lead to come in to help with redirecting because he will still pull with the martingale. I try not to apply pressure but he has proven to need the pressure on walks because he actively looks for dogs. I feel like I need the lead you have if the gentle lead doesn’t work. I’m hoping he does better with the practice I take from your videos! 😊
I have two rescues a nervous husky border collie Australian shepherd mix whos 4 and a 3 year old mutt probably border collie pit he’s very fixated on me i think he’s just protecting me as the husband would take them to walk/park when traveling they were friendly with other dogs but rarely with myself. 😢🙈🫤
Working on it
Not all dogs' reactivity stems from anxiety and fear. My staffy cross merely wants to play, be it with other dogs or humans. Unfortunately this manifests itself as reactive. It would be interesting to see how to control this with in a dog who is neither anxious nor fearful. I do everything you pointed out, but some dogs still set her off, especially when we go out in a group.
I have been having MAJOR issues with our 11 month old pocket bully when it comes to walking on a leash. I'm going to be trying out some of these tricks and see if o can get him to stop lunging for other dogs on our walk. Wish us luck 🤞
I've just taken on a 4 year old Labrador (male from Romania) that has come to live with our 8 year old male Lab' and 15 year old terrier mix. Although he came from a family home, where they have lots of dogs apparently, he was kept away from them all and made to sleep outside in their yard. They then had him castrated a few days before his journey to the UK, where it was discovered that he had an infection and was given antibiotics. He was then put up for adoption as a Labrador cross, although he always looked a pure Lab' to me and that was confirmed yesterday, when I was able to message his previous owner. I only mention that as I love the temperament of Labrador and there was a tiny concern when I was unsure what breed he might have been crossed with. Anyway, as soon as I saw Athos (now called Buddy!) I just knew he was coming home with us. Initial introductions went pretty well and there was no aggression in either direction. His old owner said he was kept on his own because he couldn't be near other males so I wonder if the castration has tempered that behaviour? Ironically, had they made us aware of that history we would probably not have adopted him. Still, he's here to stay now but I do need help undoing the past 4 years it seems. He already knows his new name and will come when called about 80% of the time. He won't come if there is anything else that's remotely interesting though! He also just gets hugely excited when there are other dogs, cows, people etc. He can also get so excited that he starts mouthing and jumping up. I'm 6' 2'' and a bit of a lump so can deal with this but my Mrs can't and she's clearly (and understandably) intimidated by Buddy. I wonder if he senses this as he can start that behaviour with there being another animal to react to? I have told her to use a toy and put that in his mouth to deal with the mouthing and to make a noise that's clearly disapproving. The whole situation is improving slowly and I just know there's a lovely dog in there that wants to be given guidance. I just want to say thanks for these videos as I just wouldn't know where to start without them!
Thank you, you can't imagine how helpful you are, I have two rescue dogs, both were aggressive at the beginning, not now thanks to your counselling but they still do some noises when I play with them. This attitude and the beginning issues I think that have frightened my third dog, that was very calm until I offered a home to the other two. Now he looks some kind of angry and is isolating himself most part of the time. While the other two are more balancing now, how I can help to Jake to be more comfortable again?
Is there a particular make slip lead you recommend?
What if my dog just gets excited and wants to play all the time
My dogs a pain in the ass. If u got him off the lead he just wants to play as much as he can. Put him in the lead and I got to stop and put him between my legs to let others past as he is a strong little beast with explosive energy. This and pulling is the only two things I struggle with dogs. So I tend to go the places I can let him off the lead as much as possible. Wich isn't to bad for me as I live in a valley so with in 5 mins I'm on the mountain and he's off the lead and then he turns into the perfect little pup. i occasionally got to remind him I got his toy so he dose as he's told but it's getting less and less every time I take him out. So I feel my lead issue isn't as bad as it could be personally
We adopted a straydog, a Marem Mano. She was never really chill with walking, but suddenly she is just barking at éveryone very aggressively. It seems like nothing we do is helping her stop this behavior. She is not like this dog, but completely freaking out all the time. Please, please give us some advise <3
I have a Frenchi-pug mix who I rescued about 4 months ago. He reacts to every dog barking and jumping. I have tried different leashes and finally decided to try the gentle leader type leash. It works on him walking better with me, but he is so stubborn. If I get him in a sit, which can be a big struggle on its own at times, he still barks and whines at the other animal and basically ignores me. I can't get that dog to look at me for any guidance. I know I must be doing something wrong. But I am at a loss of what to change. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Love your channel, you always have such good insight on the dog's behavior
So no bad dogs only bad owners…. Makes sense. My roommates dog like to be with me n I’m the one that has been trying to train him.
This is literally my dog. Great video.
You are by far the best trainer I’ve seen on YouTube. I’m pretty competent training, but I have two distance behaviors I could use help with. One: getting on furniture when I’m not home. We don’t use a crate and she only does it when I’m not home. Not in front of me. Playing rough in response to rough play. She is a rescue and can be reactive and bitey at a distance. Working on leave it and recall and it’s going well, more looking for a way to train that behavior away specifically since it’s so momentary and a reaction.
How is putting a choke collar on the dog training? 🤦🏼♀️
What is the best way to deal with another dog off lead coming over to your reactive leashed dog- I have a holty and bright yellow / nervous signs on my dog when out.. she gets really barky and frantic
As a puppy she was frightened by a larger dog and it terrified her, and me as the dog was huge stood on back legs snapping at me while i held my pup above my head to save her .. the big dogs owner didn’t care very irresponsible etc
Since then my confidence has been knocked and my dog now 4 yrs old can only go walk at night when no other dogs around – we cannot got to woods or fields through fear of her getting reactive and being attacked!
She’s a little Jrt.
