Barking- Episode 3 - barking on a walk -dog training

This is the third episode in the series of Barking. In this episode I will show you the beginning exercises on how to teach your dog not to bark on a walk. Stay tuned and Subscribe to see other exercises that are very useful for reactive dogs and dogs that are hyperactive.

All these exercises benefit ANY dog, not just fearful, reactive or aroused dogs. These same exercises are GREAT for dogs with little impulse control, the kind of dog that wants to pull towards everything on a walk.
-----------------------
When a dog becomes aroused or reactive, it is due to chemicals being released by the brain, effecting the dogs behavior. Not only does a dogs behavior change because of these chemicals and stress hormones, but their heart beat, respiration, and blood flow will change too. Jerking a dogs neck will not reduce these chemicals, instead it will INCREASE them.


Barking can be reinforcing, so the more a dog is allowed to bark the more likely they will continue barking in the future. When you and your dog are surprised on a walk and your dog starts to bark, simply say "Let's Go" and move briskly in the opposite direction. You can use this cue whenever you change direction unexpectedly or need to move from an area that is causing your dog to be over their threshold.



Here are some tips:

1-when on a walk cross the street to set your dog up for success
2-If you have a very fearful or reactive dog, simply change the direction of your walk when you see something your dog wont be able to handle at this point in their training
3-Never feed the dog for looking at your treats
4-Use real meat or cheese for these exercises, the higher value the reinforcement the faster your dog will learn. If you use low level treats, your dog might not make any progress
5-You can use calming signals to help calm your dog on a walk. Yawning or sighing loudly when you see the distraction. You can also walk in an arc around the distraction rather than head on which is very unnatural for a dog to do.
6-If you are getting frustrated, better turn and go home immediately than take it out on the dog.

what happens when my dog just keeps barking even when we walk away

[kikopup]

@soccerhunxx Try to walk away as briskly as you can encourage your dog to come with you. Turn around earlier at first. Work on the "lets go" FIRST without other dogs around before using it! Remember to proof!

I love your videos and we have my puppy in training - he is so smart in home but god forbid take him on a walk he doesnt even CARE about the treats...clicker doesnt even seem to do anything either.

[kikopup]

@NativeHiro That tells you your dog is so stressed to be out of the house that his body has cut off the blood circulation to his stomach causing him to not be hungry. You need to habituate him to being out of the house, take him places, perhaps feed him his meals by hand when out and about? Make sure being out side is the 'norm' not a rarity.

You are amazing! When we get a newer dog I will use your videos what to do. Ours are so old now...

My dog is barking and getting mentally blocked when we meet dogs she don't know. Won't turning around tell her "yes, I think this is really scary too! Lets go the other way!" And maybe get her more scared?

I really trust your methods, but this is the opposite to what other trainers have told me. But none of their methods have worked (like going around the other dogs or getting her to sit-staywhen they pass and such).

Could you show this with a reactive dog?

What can I do if my dogs bark in the backyard when he sees a squirrel? The love squirrels and in the morning there are a bunch that love to torment them. I try to stop them but it doesn't work for the most part. I dont want to wake the neighbors. Help...

[mrblackopskiller1]

my dog doesnt bark at other dogs unless the dog is like a foot away but she doesnt bark at other dogs if there in there fence ??? still fallow these steps???

[olssondc]

Emily, my dog has gotten so reactive to cats and squirrels in the back yard that he is injuring himself by jumping against the fence. He's better when on a walk but I hope that--by using your methods--I can change his behavior in the yard. Before he gets badly hurt.

This came in handy, Thanks.

[nickwilliams5697]

Thank you soooo much for this video. I really like your method and it seems very effective on my cairn terrier :-)

My 2 year old male dog barks every time he sees a dog. I have taught him the "let's go" command, but when other dogs are around I literally have to drag him away. I have tried this several times with dogs around my complex, but my dog tries to bolt at any dog he sees, what am I doing wrong?

[Kikyo361]

i have a gsd puppy, and since he is a guarding breed he has a habbit of barking when we tie him outside, also he barks at other dogs with a growls, but he doesn't intend harm he wants to play.. is there any method i could use when i don't have treats or the clicker?

[Morthund]

Thanks for putting up these incredibly well thought out videos that actually work!

I get the feeling that all this is put up for free because of a real altruistic attempt to change the current state of things out there in walk-land, which is also a really nice thing.

The thing I find wih Kikopup's methods is that even when the shit hits the fan, I've always got at least something simple to remember so as to not reinforce the situation and non-aggressivly react, thus keeping my dogs bond ;)
