 She's super sweet So there's Olivia Bring her right to me and these types of cases it's gonna be a little bit different because We're not dealing with we have a really Balanced secure dog that needs help on obedience. We're dealing with the dog that actually thinks They're an immediate danger and they could potentially die at any moment So of course, we know that's not gonna happen, but we have to be empathetic towards that So what I'm noticing guys is She's becoming a little bit more comfortable as I go So watch watch what I'm looking for and what you guys should be looking for too is she's becoming a little bit more Interested in her surroundings versus suspicious So you'll see her go. Hey, what's this? What's that instead of? like Mr. Krabs After practicing basic leash pressure with Olivia and her owners They're on a way better path than they were before you're seeing more confidence You're seeing live starting to open up and give me affection and the owners and live both feel more confident Now the next step which be the biggest hurdle is getting her out into public and starting to train in realistic environments You have to give me love. Yeah, good girl Sounds good for her, right? Oh my goodness. Did we build some confidence or what? Where's a girl? Hello everybody and welcome back to the coast dog training channel right here on YouTube. I'm Tom Davis America's canine educator Thank you for joining me here today. Today is second day in Richmond, Virginia We're in this awesome little outdoor mall So we're gonna meet with these guys and we're gonna work on their big thing Which was going out in public and working in a in a distraction like this That's all they wanted out of their dogs was to be able to go out heal them nicely walk them nicely without reactivity on the leash and Not pulling them all over the place. So we're gonna go try day two and see how we do she's always been super timid Just she puts her feet in the ground Which is yeah, oh And since it's obviously November the Christmas tree has to go up Just bring these guys through she's gonna be working on Environmental confidence building so we're gonna be not asking a lot of obedience of her So not asking her to sit a lot not asking her to heal a lot. Let her explore It's about overexposure desensitization making a very once very scary place not scary and then with her miss Asher You're gonna be intermittently working on obedience. He just basic heal sit break And we'll just try to make this experience the best we can Now just let her let her do her thing let her build confidence Like I said like it's more important for me for her because she's so insecure To just do her thing If we feel like it's becoming a negative thing where she's trying to escape a bunch of times for now Let her be a dog explore built some confidence and and really the goal is is to get her and Sniffing something so she takes her mind off of her nervousness. See how she's sniffing. So if she's sniffing she's not concerned about Her demise at any minute, which is normally what she's like. So that's what I mean is just like letting her go out and sniff That's really good for her. See if she'll get up there. Oh good girl Good job live good girl So like doing stuff like this To get her see how her tail just wagged. So this is good I mean, but I'm under the assumption of like her being normally terrified Okay, good. So she's doing a lot better. Yeah, okay, cool You're out just getting her up and just getting her mind off of anything else What a good girl and just letting her just see how she's like looking at You know strollers and people and she's not like normally when we were out for a walk with her prior She would growl a lot and now she's got some people walking around So store number one is pretty good I forgot to mention to like so a couple tips when you're in public places with a dog that you're a little unsure of It's just when you go in Head on a swivel so making sure that like if there's a person coming down this aisle You're cutting, you know, you're cutting away just being conscious of that because they're in there to shop and like we're in there to like Desensitize which is you know, we have to be respectful And then the other thing is too is like if somebody does approach you with like, hey Can I pet your dog normally we see a lot of people especially in big stores? Like can I give your dog a treat and if your dog's like not sure about people and it could possibly make it like A negative experience best thing to do is just tell people that your dog's in training Because what that'll do is it'll it'll not say like my dog's not friendly or my dog's not like overly friendly It just means like no thanks and a lot of people respect that sometimes if you go If you say anything other than that then You know, it'll get kind of hairy So anyway when when you get a dog that is you know a little nervous or so whatever just also make sure that You're keeping your your conscious of your leash length Just because of that like these people are here shopping not paying attention like what dog you have like Just make sure that like when people pass like you're conscious that if she has four feet of leash and that person's two feet away from you There's an opportunity for failure and we want this whole exposure Desensitization process to be as positive as possible for you guys and the dogs So just make sure that you're conscious of those things as well. Cool. So see how she's like do sales She's like exploratory It's good. What you think live? What you think live tails wagon? What's the difference between Now and how she was Right and right now she's tails going and she's inquisitive like she's oh, what's that? What's this and she's having a good time, but like for me I think like the big this the significant difference between now and then not just like what we're seeing But why it happened was because of the lack of control and like the confidence that she had before it was so Crazy and now that we've got we've gotten some structure with her and we're healing her and we have the ability to pull the reins back I think she knows that which is making her more confident So make sure like when you're ready to heal her you say her name Ask your heel and then you heal her and then you say okay break and then you make it really defined Don't have it kind of cloudy. Don't have it gray at all. Just be really like hey We're working okay now. We're not okay. We're working because when you get this much environmental stuff going on You're like a fourth party, you know, it's like bringing a kid to the Disney It's like you don't matter as much anymore So just make sure that you're aware and conscious of that that you're in the more that your environments change Will work against you your leverage will go down So let me show you like like a demonstration of how you would want to do that and a distraction like this You just like I said say the dog's name ask the dog to do the behavior ask your heel Good create your line of where Good heel I I'll turn Good heel Asher Good job. This is really big for her. You know, she's out in public. See how she's watching me Slow down. She slows down with me beautiful turn Good just giving her a little verbal check if you will ask her same thing sit good So name bone because you have to be like because she's okay break because she's constantly like smells birds People like new environments new new New surfaces everything is so new for her for us. We're walking through a brick thing, you know for her This is like, oh my gosh, so just make sure that you're like asher do this Asher do this get her attention and it's again It's not like across the board for all dogs But in this situation where she's like whoo-hoo just be fair and and really just try to center it for success Good heel. Yeah, I know why no sit. Okay break. That's a good girl. Good girl So see how it's like Completely black and white. There's no like are we feeling or are we not make it really clear for her So she's so she really understands it. All right guys. We're wrapping up here at the the cool mall here Everybody did really good. No insecurities. No outbreaks. No no worries really the owners are really happy with the progress that we've made So far and the dogs are super happy you can totally tell especially live You know, she's she suffers from really bad insecurity issues She came here jumped on things her tail was wagging her body language were good was good. Her owners were really surprised I was pretty surprised too, but so now we're gonna head over to Home Depot Which has been a really tough place for live to go to she shuts down every time for what we were told from what we were Told so we're gonna head over there and see how she does at Home Depot Live what you think it's not so bad. It's not so bad out here here. Let's let's do a let's see She'll get up in the mulch Yeah, there monkey see monkey do there's a good girl. There's a good girl See Home Depot is not so bad. It's gonna bring her right to me So I think overall I think that they both did really good. I think you saw some Some really good changes really fast. You guys just have to practice like You know everything from now on But live came from not being able to go into Home Depot to going into Home Depot and doing Fine like she's like any other dog. She she's like, okay. I don't know why the heck we're here, but we're here She's not trying to run away. She's not going to the bathroom on herself She's not plopping on the ground and then with her just you know continuing to work on your healing and your timing and everything All right guys, so episode number two and day two was a success We got into Home Depot and these guys did just just awesome So confidence is up on both ends from the owner and the dogs the obedience and the training is up I've been more importantly the dogs are happy. The people are happy. They have a better understanding of each other Which is my whole goal again I'm here to just help these guys better understand their dogs and today we were able to do that with these guys in a short time So I'm very grateful for that.
