 Are you guys are good you guys to come on in we're just gonna go right in the back Straight back in here As you guys can see We have some work to do now. This is a young shepherd, so I don't know why it's this bad this early But we're gonna get to the bottom of it right now You guys like my dog hair Brendan nice to meet you. Did you just turn one? Yes, okay And so she's reactive to all dogs or just dogs on leash or explain to me What the reactivity is like All right, I'm gonna go grab some stuff so right now you have her just on the the heart the the Easy walk kind of thing. Is that what that is? Yeah? Okay? So I'm gonna grab you a slip collar. I'm gonna grab you a couple chairs. I'm gonna grab you Training leash, and then we're gonna get What you think so pepper is pretty good with people though. Yeah, yeah So this is very basic so what this does is it allows us to apply pressure to the dog Where it matters which is going to be the head if you can control the head Like my body isn't gonna separate and go forward if my head goes this way, right? So if you can control the head of the animal, you'll be able to really maneuver and navigate the dog A lot better than if you were to just take the core of the dog's chest. You know what I mean? So I'm just gonna put this slip on really quick So as far as like obedience and stuff goes what does she know right now? Heal She's been to Basic stuff If you were to ask her to heal an environment with another dog within the vicinity would she Okay, okay Right, so that's all I really care about is is if I can if I can get a Dog to do the things that I want them to do without distraction That's good because I know that they can do it But if they don't do it when we need it to happen that it's kind of useless And it's frustrating because you're saying hey do this and the dogs like okay I know what you want me to do, but I'm not gonna do it So every time you ask your dog to do something that they know and they decide to say I Would rather not then you're taking a step backwards, you know because you're like hey do this She's like nope, and not only am I not going to do it. I'm gonna do the exact opposite Heal sit Right at the end of the day if you ask yourself Well, why not if your dog is gonna ask themselves why not or you're gonna ask yourself why not? That's kind of like the dictator of will your dog do something or not, which means if you come into the door She goes crazy Why wouldn't she do you know what I mean? so if if she's barking at a dog there and she's barking at a dog there You have to do the point of view from the dog and say why not? I mean obviously we're gonna say well because it's it's rude, and we don't like it obviously But for her you have to like go to the point of view from the dog and say why wouldn't I do that? She's a shepherd shepherds naturally vocal They're like that a lot of times so that is That bark is more of I Don't really because there's not a dog Right, that's more of like I don't really know what to do. So it's not it's not necessarily dog reactivity I'm probably looking at this more about The dogs the dog's point of view is I don't know what to do So I'm just gonna play with her a little bit Just to get her engaged with me Turn so if you guys watch really close you'll see that quick little snap I did one prong collar has taught pepper exactly what I wanted her to do good girl Good. Good. He'll I can just tell by the way that she's treating me That she was trained primarily with food in the beginning because if there's not motivation for her She's not going to adapt to me at all which is I Want to say is halfway normal for for the majority of dogs Hey, if you don't have anything I like I'm gonna ignore you But at the same time like it's also a development that that dogs get I want to see how she acts if I get some of these out Yeah Yeah, it is like I said it is a frustrating thing because I use food all the time, but I don't use it to I use it for Right, I use it for imprinting like if I want a dog to go through a certain thing Like if I want them to sit they've never sat if I want them to heal and they've never healed And I'll show you what that looks like for me Like if this particular dog had never learned heal the way that I would do food And I would add it in to try to lure the dog into the position Like good heal good heal good and then same thing. I'd glue the dogs head up into a sit and I'd mark it Yes, good sit after three days the food would Decrease significantly right now. We're at a point where and all dogs I shouldn't say that but the majority of dogs that are developed that way turn out similarly because Now we need that food for the behaviors, so it's really just An execution type thing is use that food to lure like I just showed you like hey Okay, we're gonna heal using that food to again show the dog the exact behavior We want I'm gonna take that food out good heal, right? She's like, okay I kind of understand this heel thing and then I'm gonna lure the dogs head up. It's gonna go. Yes, good sit but after Two or three hours or two or three lessons the food should go away and then come out periodically But if you're still at level four session four session five and this has nothing to do with any Training she's prior done or anything that you guys have done foundationally my job as an educator is to you guys say hey, this is The Micro of you of what we're seeing is the barking the macro or the bigger picture is the fact that She's not engaged with anything that I'm doing unless I have a stick of beef Don't forget guys We're doing a brand new giveaway with our no bad dogs merch All you have to do to enter to win is simply leave a comment in the comments below Three within three hours after this video is published to enter to win And I will select somebody randomly to win some free swag So I just want to like give you my feedback of what I'm seeing is that she really Doesn't have a lot of leash awareness if you will so if I go forward and I turn and go the other way and say hey Let's go. Let's go this way without that food drag or lure She doesn't understand that and so if you go out to the open you see a squirrel or a car or something like that I Don't really know who's to blame is like Do we blame her because she's misbehaving but does she really know what we're asking her to do You know because again if you're if you're doing foundation heel Good heel good heel good heel Turn good heel. We know that she can stay in that position, but as soon as I take the food away You do it without the food more times than with the food So use it, but don't depend on it same thing with the slip collar Have it on but don't depend on it I Work at this Sit we want to work on is is like when we take her out for walks I'm like the car goes by and we like know she's gonna freak out like where we start with that Yeah Yeah, exactly Right, right, right exactly. So you have to take steps back because like I said and you know, I'm going to explain the significant difference between training versus reality so like I said Training room Good good good good good whatever whatever we want the dog to do we have that food. It's there. It's good We get the dog to do what we want But what happens when we do this and then the dog can't do it so you you want to have balance It's much like great parenting Leave it in my opinion, right? So that was a perfect example I put her into a sit with the food. She sat politely. She got rewarded with a little lick She started whining and stuff and I gave her a correction So I just took that leash and I go hey knock it off I like using the slip collar because I don't have to constantly, you know poke the dog grab The dog get the dog's attention, you know, I don't I don't have to do that I can just snap my fingers like that. He'll so You want to have to answer your question? You've never had You've never had as directive Consequences so the harness that you came in with has limitations to the aversive correction that you can apply as Does this slip collar? Does that make sense? So if you say pepper sit And then if I take the food out Wherever it is Good, so I want to reverse reverse that. Oh Somebody doesn't find this session as amusing as we do we're halfway through it I didn't want to cut out any of the meat potatoes and it's a longer one So we're gonna do a little Tom's trivia right here in intermission halfway through What breed would you guys be if you could be any breed? What would it be leave your answers below? You can just switch to a little micro prong collar, which is a little safer for her So instead of just this this one little point of pressure It's gonna give you like 20 points of pressure on the contrary of what this looks like The actual prong collar itself It's not It's not like again like if you don't know what it is it kind of looks like a Chinese torture chamber I understand that but it's actually just a Device that actually evenly distributes your correction better So when you're pulling up on this little tab It creates this little triangle on the back and it comes up together. So it's going Like this instead of just one here You see how it just takes that level of Right without a lot It's just one little like quick and like again a significant difference is is I have 20 points of pressure versus one now. So when she comes up, I go she goes, okay, sorry So same thing my goal is is to transfer this to when she reacts to dogs. I just flick my wrist. I go. Nope She goes, okay, and then she relaxes so Here we go the aha moment another dog is coming into the room Keep in mind pepper has not been able to be in another room with another dog at any given time at any given moment at Any part of any training? This is a big deal Leave it He'll Leave it He'll Harley Leave it Harley Pepper sit. So there's another dog right in front of her historically crazy and You see what I did. I shut it down. I'm like whoa What are you doing? So anyway again She's laying down because she's so like this and I'm like sit She's like, I'm not sure what that is, but I'll come down here instead. So she's She's this is new to her. I mean for a dog that she doesn't know to be directly in front of her and for her to like watch She's still building a little bit, but she's not reactive. So now we can have her cake. You need it, too We're to say yeah, she's a little reactive and she's kind of spunky with other dogs But it doesn't matter because she's obedient Right where before and I'm basically taking three sessions and putting them into one So you can see what the outcome will be So you're getting that Super explosive You know banging off at the end of the leash and she's powerful like that So I came in and I go hey and I took that prong and I just snapped it a couple times Correction correction correction those prongs came up bang bang bang now That's one of the more That's one of the safest corrections you can make because again, it's fully around the neck. It's not one spot She's not, you know ripping her head off and she's not choking. She goes. Hey, that's that kind of what do you? That's kind of uncomfortable I said look every time that you completely lose it at another dog and make our lives Everybody in the rooms lives more stressed Especially when they don't need to be you get a passive dog that walks in and just sits on a crate or a cot and you start losing it That's a big problem. We have we have big problems there because Then the next thing is is you guys are on the street. That's the road dogs there cars are here You're paying boom Done because she thought she had to go react to a dog or she slips the she slips one of these Gets into a fight with a dog. She really didn't want to fight because she's not really aggressive and B She gets into the wrong fight with the wrong dog and get severely hurt or worse So in my opinion, I would much rather apply four to five Microsecond like knock it off of uncomfortability Instead of live a life through gosh, you know life would be so much better If I just didn't have a dog that reacted all the time to everything leave it So now you see that kind of like is it is it fear? sure But there I personally believe that when and I know from experience with working with thousands of these types of cases You that fear is structure That's I think it's getting mistaken from structure versus fear when I'm telling her hey knock it off And she's like I don't want to get in trouble. She's not fearing from me at all Like if I came this way, let's go. Oh, yeah, like right. She's like, yeah, you're my buddy She's not that's bad fear if you walk into a room and a dog peas themselves That's bad, but if I say hey knock it off and she goes oops. Sorry. That's good fear That's structure fear that's that's fear used in a way that when your mom and dad used to look at you And you knew something was wrong before they said anything That's good. That's your responsibility as a dog owner She she needs right Right. She need yeah, exactly. She needs that structure where she's like Guys There's a dog and you know, the helicopters are going over. We got to go. We got to go There's dogs. We got to go. Let's figure this out and I'm like What are you talking about? Right? And and then she's like Oh Yeah, I'm not dead I still have all my limbs And so like I said before the the big missing piece for the majority of dog owners that have this type of reactivity regardless of its fear reactiveness or even excitement Is is what I said before is what are you doing about it? touch So even there I was able to give her a little warning to say no, no, no That wasn't because I've rewarded her a bunch of times. It's because she's gotten. Oh, I don't want to get in trouble Right. It just makes the most sense. It's the same thing. I'm instilling with her I'm like, hey knock it off and I wanted to go. Oh, right. So that fear is actually a good thing. Yes Good girl Plats Ah, good girl Lakota. I see Good girl. Lakota. Good touch So the reason why she's downing again is because she She feels Safest in the most secure to either fight or flight when she's in a down She can go or she can run and so she's she's going. Okay. I'm just going to watch this dog then So that's why she's doing that. I'm not letting her take the wheel Certainly not letting her take the wheel So I'm I'm controlling all of this which is why this is possible Yes Good girl. Cool She That's a good girl Kill what a good girl you are So you get that Right, that's her going. Oh, oh, okay. I'm okay So she's just building and it's totally natural for her to build I'm not going to punish her for getting overstimulated because it doesn't necessarily Tell me that it's a it's a bad thing. Okay. Good good down Good So now Yes, good She's looking at me. Good girl. Yes. Good girl. Kola assi Good girl. Yes. Good kill good, right? So the dog moved she got up I told it. I told her to look back at me. She looked at me and I rewarded her for that So I'm just breaking down those thresholds and teaching her Like hey, it's okay. Just in case she moved sits Yes kushe What I did is I created calmness in a situation that may be normally pretty stressful Dog gets that close. We automatically go Right, so just creating that like You know, the good thing is is hey, we're fully capable of getting her Okay around a dog. She doesn't know Even if they do look the same She's all right. What watch Watch kushe kushe Good girl Good girl Thank you. That was good All right guys, that's a wrap for today.
