 How did we go from this To this Good stay coming up. What's up guys Tom Davis here America's canine educator. Thank you so much for joining me here today Hey today, I'm gonna give you guys what you want what you've been asking and what you frankly deserve an update of Jeffrey and Romeo the two reactive German shepherds that I introduced you last week on my channel now Romeo was very reactive to people and dogs on the leash and Jeffrey as you know was Extremely reactive and possessive of his kennel now We've come a very long way since then in the next the last couple days and what I want to do today is do a dual session So I'm gonna be throwing in a little bit of the equations of how we've gotten successful with both dogs as well as Trying I don't know how it's gonna go because you haven't done it yet trying to introduce the two dogs in a training session. No So I want to I want you guys to come with me I want you to fall along step by step and I'm gonna hand this off to Taylor We're gonna go in the back and grab the dogs and get started. Let's go. We're also gonna be doing a giveaway Yes, that's right a one-hour free giveaway with me face-to-face via FaceTime Skype No matter where you are in the world all you have to do is play the keyboard challenge coming up It's really simple all you have to do to enter is when I say go you're gonna hit the space bar and You're gonna leave your dog's name letter by letter in the comments below to enter to win ready set go So the most important thing guys is just being able to control as much as we possibly can To eliminate any opportunity for him to guard any resources sit Good I go through sit stay just structure. Nice job, buddy break good sit Good stay Good I do a double threshold here with that and then this Good see I was looking at me guys. That's important. See how we just looked at me. So see how we've gained control. It's really important brick So what I'd like to do now guys is walk you through some of the exercises. We've done to get peed on just kidding close But what we're gonna do is I'm gonna walk you through some of the exercises that we've done with him to get him to this point As you can see dramatic difference here And I'm gonna show you exactly how we've done that through consistency and hard work and just telling him that he's not in the driver's seat We are so let's go So I'm controlling almost every single aspect of what he's doing when he's out on the leash with me when he's not in his break So structure to dogs could be many different things, but to me and Jeffrey what it's gonna mean is is hey, buddy I know that you think you can do all of this stuff. I know you think you can possess stuff I know you've gotten away within the past so I'm simply just gonna take micro macro So the micro is is I'm gonna teach him that he has to do little individual things for me With me being in charge of the entire situation until I then release him or give him the break command So the micro is is he's doing all these little behaviors But the macro is is he's taken direction from me and me only and he's not making decisions on his own Which hopefully at the end of the day will take him from hey I control the world to maybe I should ask for permission before I start doing stuff So we're gonna go over those examples now. The first thing is is simply telling him the place So I want you to watch the way I do this. I use my body. I use my leash I use my voice inflection to make sure that he's doing exactly what I want him to do when I ask him to do it Jeffrey place Good so a little bit of proofing here guys. Ah, good Vo it so right there. I'm glad that you guys got to see that and I'm glad I'm walking you through this process Right there was all timing so there was voice inflection with the ah There was the leash pressure with the pop and then I came up with my body and completely stopped him here So all of that happened in probably less than a second So timing is really really key when you're teaching a dog anything It doesn't matter if you're doing behavior modification or what have you all of that timing came in right at the right time and Told him nope. That's not what I want you to do stay Okay, good good break. Good job No Good Good so quick. He just got up there when I told him this day break The other thing that we've been doing obviously that he has a huge problem with like you guys saw in the first video Is his food? So we've been just working on a little leash pressure with the leave it command leave it Avoidance. Yes. Good again. Just gatekeeping basically a big slider right here to let him know You can have that when I say Good leave it. Good. I'll pay him there. Good job. Good hand feeding is also something We've been doing with his with his meals. He gets two cups a npm We've been feeding him his meals through our hands as well Just to let him know that everything that he wants comes through us So that's exactly what we've been doing on a micro macro. So the micro is leave it means you can't have this Okay, fine. I won't take that the macro is is he's listening to me Which he which is what created a lot of his possession issues in the first place and a lot of the Abilities for him to make those really rash decisions like you saw in the first episode He gets very explosive very barky growly teeth snarling I own the whole place and we're breaking that whole concept down through micro and macro management and so One other really important thing that we've been doing with him Which a lot of people don't cover and I typically actually don't cover it is exercise So what we've been doing with him putting him on the treadmill bringing him for walks at least once or twice a day To reel it really just get some of that energy out because he's still only nine months old So he's still got a lot of energy to burn and we've been doing a lot of that as well Hey Zach, can you grab Romeo? I want to care to bring Jeffrey and Romeo for a walk now again like both these dogs need Structure that's what they've lacked. That's what the problem with both of them was with structure leadership and guidance So for the first time we're gonna bring him for I don't know how it's gonna go. I mean, there's a really good chance I'm gonna cut and say okay. That didn't go good But there's there's also a slight chance that they're gonna adapt really well with me and go for a walk and be able to coexist and be Hopefully calm and see how it goes I'm just gonna walk to you leave it No little training caboose action here this is all this Jeffrey white German Shepherd is trying to play See how see how bratty he is? He is not having it feeding off his Good So what you guys are seeing here is he doesn't know how to play Nor does he really want to play and he's being pretty bossy and shovey with it and Jeffrey's basically being very Antagonistic with it. He's kind of doing this thing and he's very bratty. That's very typical for him to do that So this is good dog behavior learning for not only me, but for these guys as well. And of course you guys Okay, come No Leave it Come just so you guys know at home Romeo came here for extreme leash reactivity Jeffrey came here with extreme reactivity to everything people dogs So on and so forth. So we spent a couple days and I just worked about Five to seven minutes on these guys here in the parking lot Continuing to just correct that come on Correct them and lead them through the situation and you just have to iron it out with your momentum Just to say hey you two aren't gonna do this. I'm gonna move forward this way. I'm gonna turn pay attention to me Good job guys Huge improvement with both of them. I'm proud of both of them. They've come a long way in a couple days We still have we're not out of the woods. We still have a lot of work to do But it just that's what we've been doing is structured throughout this whole video I've been giving you exercises to work on how to put you first and not your dogs And it really improves the life of them They realize who's in charge and they understand that they don't make decisions and everything else falls into place I would appreciate if you guys like this video leave a comment below.
