Dog Aggression: Podee's Aggressive to Other Dogs (Narrated) | drsophiayin.com

Podee is aggressive to other dogs due to fear. I first show his aggressive behavior and how I handle him in the emergency situation. Then I go back and do the foundation training that he needs in order to work more safely and effectively around other dogs. Once he's had this training I work him around an unfamiliar dog. He's happier and more focused on me around the other dog. Now he's able to learn that good things happen to him around new dogs. This videos is narrated. It's from the textbook/DVD Low Stress Handling, Restraint and Behavior Modification of Dogs and Cats (www.drsophiayin.com/lowstresshandling)

this dog is not agressive to people. i want to see your tactic with a dog agressive to people - including the one with the leash.

My dog, (a 1 year old Australian shepherd), has had some bad experiences at the vet recently. He injured his paw and the vet was rather rough in their handling with him, since they don't have time to take it slow. Now my dog's become more and more obsessive around his injured paw. He's actually begun to try and bite us when we aproach to change his bandage and so on. Can this be counter conditioned and how to do it? He's always been easy to handle before this happened, and relaxed about it... =(

@Silivr1 : Best resource on specifics for what you need is my textbook and DVD Low Stress Handling, Restraint and Behavior Modification of Dogs and Cats. It has 106 DVds and teaches step by step. It's now used by many veterinarians and being adopted in technician programs. you can see the lower cost online version at lowstresshandling

@shellylanette : That's because you have to shape the behavior rather than put them in that situation first thing and expect it to work. you can see a video that explains what shaping is on the superbark youtube channel.

@Beckcycle : Your dog first most likely needs to go through the learn to earnprogram first to learn to look to you for guidance (and for you to learn to provide clear guidance). you can find this program photoillustrated with a ton of photos in Perfect Puppy in 7 days which is available on amazon.com

@PaulAndMuttley: I'm using GL to guide his head up so that he will look at me. goal behavior is that he looks at me. Then once he looks at me I remove the GL guidance (thus -R) and follow with food reward (+R) for attention.

[shellylanette]

@badabingrockford Yeah, some dogs will not even care about the treat, even if you put it directly ON it's nose!

[magicalcrazyness]

@badabingrockford Funny, because my American Pit Bull Terrier is severely Dog aggressive, wants to kill them. Yet this has helped her tremendously.

[PaulAndMuttley]

I hear you say "negative reinforcement", or R-, an OC term meaning to increase likelihood of a behavior by removing something, inferring it was something unpleasant. I think you're trying to lessen the dog's reactivity and aggression, which means punishment. Are you removing the reward of an unrestricted walk (P-), or pulling on the GL to force him to turn toward you or else suffer pain (P+) due to the collar? Why use the R- term? Bad association of term "punishment" and that positive=good?
