 but my end goal is for him to decrease his reactivity levels. That's not me. Oh, but he's not really my dog. Oh, everybody and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel right here on YouTube. I'm Tom Davis, America's Canine Educator. Thank you so much for joining me here today. This dog is very, like one of the most reactive dogs I've ever seen in my life. I got passed this dog from one of my other trainers and today we're gonna work on severe dog reactivity. This dog is going insane and it completely ignores the owner on every correction she's given him so far. So I'm gonna break it down and try my best to figure out the best way to effectively, efficiently get this dog in a better state of mind. Okay, so go ahead and heal back this way. We'll try it again. Leave it. Yes. Good, leave it off. Does that make sense? Yeah, no. So now what I wanna be clear on what I'm doing is walk again. Yes, buddy. Good, now walk again. Jumping is something I wouldn't tell him. I wouldn't do this because it's a dangerous place for you guys to be because he's in your face and he's reacting so he could come up here, all of a sudden get really ticked off and grab your face out of frustration like he did with you, right? Because you become this wall, this barrier and if he's here, doesn't make it a safe place, right? Yeah, it's not good. So I would strongly recommend to give him love and affection any other way than this, right? Because the reason why that is is if you guys wanna do that that's fine but you have to understand that the dog is an animal and he's not gonna say, mom and dad likes this, everyone else doesn't. He's gonna say, this is how I was, yeah. It's just like when we teach, when we teach manners, right? Please thank you, exactly. So they're gonna do that, what do you say? And he's gonna go, well, this is what I do, I jump off and I get excited, right? I would try to step away from this as much as possible. Okay, all right, stop there a second. Outletting the reactivity he would normally have into something else that's exciting for me, that's why. So he's basically unplugging the going crazy reactivity and plugging it in somewhere else, which is the jumping. You know what I mean? So it's a stimulation. So I'm gonna heal him a couple different times. I want you to leave it, heal. Boy, sit off, sit, yes. So clarity, that was very clear. But I didn't correct him at all. I walked him through it. I gave him an opportunity to comply, which is important. Is what you were doing is you were doing probably what we felt was natural, which is strong, strong dog. Trying to kill, kill, kill. You were trying to punish as hard as you could as fast as you could. Not terrible. However, in this case, you could drop an atom bomb in his dog, he was not gonna stop. You have to get into him mentally in order to, so before I was seeing a lot of like yanking and that just read him up. You know what I mean? Like your junk person aggravated and wants to fight. If you push and smack and try to get him out of it, that's what MMA fighters and wrestlers do before they go fight and smack each other in the face. Sit, good man. Go ahead and walk behind me. Leave it, no correction. It's a taught behavior, very good, okay great. That's a taught behavior. So I'm not relying on the equipment to ultimately get the result I want. I'm using the equipment to teach the behaviors I like and what I don't like. And I'm using a system called operant conditioning. Okay, does that make sense? Yeah. This is good? Yeah. I'm so excited, right? Cool, cool, cool. Take him and just bring him outside and give him like three minutes to chill out. Break. You ready buddy, ready for a fight? Off. This is gonna be the big task for sure. All right, Dad, go ahead. Nice, I see what I'm doing. Yes. Good man. Great, you know. Good man. So he's avoiding the dog. Uh-uh. The working hand is a big part of. Good. So I want him to be a bit exploratory. So he's looking, he's looking. I'm gonna break him. Good boy. Spreading and rewarding him with food. Uh-uh, leave it. Go ahead and walk that way Zach. And just, when you get over to the, leave it. So now I'm using the rope collar on a lower level. The important thing is, is we're using a common dog too. Is it? So that makes it huge. So I think I'm loose. Loose. Uh-uh. Good. Good. Good job, buddy. Yeah, good job. Good job. That's the pain. All right, I'll walk around. Okay. So you can space him up. Or he'll, he'll move around. He'll, he'll move around. He'll, he'll move around. He'll. You like this way? He'll move around. It's the way. Just nice and relaxed. Good. Either way? It's the way. Um, probably by the end of the stop. But the remote collar is going to be, did, did, that's what's helped him get over that hump faster. Cause the correction, the correction avoidance, avoidance. That didn't work until we introduced the remote collar and gave him a different type of reverse of correction. And then it, and that's why I like using the remote collar for behavioral cases like this. Cause a lot of times, if you get a really ticked off dog, that's going after through frustration and stimulation. Um, if you correct them physically and punch them, basically, they can redirect on you to make things worse. So using the remote collar for severe reactivity to modify a behavior is the most effective, humane, efficient way. Cause you're like, um, and now we just, I want to practice on obedience to make sure you're, where you need to be with that. Um, and then continuing to like do group class and coming in and working with Morgan again, but making sure that you're fluent with your E-collar, your remote collar, making sure that your remote collar is a good manufacturing value. Yeah. That's a $20 one-off payment. Yeah. Correctly not. Yeah. Cause, cause, so sometimes they like are good for a short amount of time, but they're not going to be, they're not going to be like consistent and they can shut off and they can stop working and the numbers may not be consistent. So that's why I really suggest people using like a really nice collar. Like in this session, the dog's are too easy. It's small, it's compact, and it's also got a lot of punch for the vibrates. The vibrates really significant. So just using that hazer, the dog goes, he goes, you don't have to pull, you don't have to yank, you don't have to yell, you don't have to scream. It doesn't really affect him in a sense of like getting him more stimulated. It just kind of deactivates the reactivity. So yeah, cheap collars, it's just like with food. Yeah. It's like there's, there's the McDonald's 99 cent burger and then there's the $15 bistro burger. Yeah. You know, so same thing fills you up, but you're getting what you pay for. You know what I mean?
