Handling Shyness- Clicker Dog Training

If you live in the San Diego Area and are interested in adopting Jamie or Beanie, contact:
Loving Arms Animal Rescue and Adoption
www.lovingpetadoptions.org

These exercises are for all dogs, as most dogs do not like to be handled. This video is the first in a series to come...
I am sorry about the big block of text at the beginning of the video, but it is because this exercise needs to be taken seriously, as if done wrong you can scare a dog, and a frightened dog will bite, as will any animal that is frightened.
If you are worried that your dog is too shy or frightened to work with, you can talk to an animal behaviorist first. Another game you can do is just tossing the dog treats, and feeding the dog his meals by dropping the kibble for the dog following you.

kikopup, a great video! I love working with shy dogs. have you ever worked with a dog so shy that she/he won't come out of their safe places (bedroom and office)? She will let me sit next to her and I can work with the other dog in the house. She will take treats out of my hand and will make eye contact.

@c0boy great that there is another dog. If the dog is shy with the owners too, they could just only give food for handling, nothing out of the bowl. Yes I worked with a pitbull that sat under the table for 20 minutes! For that dog going in the yard and throwing his ball made him realize "oh! She is one of those Ok people" but the next time I visited he was under the table again. If the dog isnt shy then, the owner could only feed the dogs meals for conditioning to people.

My friend loves going to the doctor for shots and blood tests because she used to get lollipops whenever she went as a kid.

Can these handling exercises be used and work for harness aversion or do we need to use your 'teach your dog to love his harness' instruction video for that ?

Wonderful video!

I was wondering what is the brand of the blue dog carrier that can be seen on 2:37? I am looking for one for traveling with my dog and that one looks PERFECT!

Keep up the great work!
