 And we're live. Hello everybody and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel right here on YouTube. I'm Tom Davis. Welcome to my live stream Today we have two of our boarding trains out with Taylor and our other trainers Zach and what we're gonna do is I'm just gonna walk you through The process because I thought it we were doing this. I said, hey, look, let's grab this Basically, I'm gonna teach you how we manage dog reactivity on the leash This dog isn't necessarily aggressive But if you have a dog that's literally reacting on the leash at everything and every other dog This video is gonna help you how to manage that properly and how to get over the hurdles So with Lupita what we did who she's she came in really reactive What we did is we taught we taught her how to focus on the handler. We also taught her How to heal we taught her how to place we taught her how to do all this stuff. That's that's Lupita here So I'm gonna walk you through really quickly An exercise in a scenario we do here at the upstate Canaan Academy to help you guys out at home with Dog reactivity it's just some things that you guys can do so as you watch you'll see exactly hello Rochester Hello, Alaska. Hello everybody else. So I'm gonna start this process now if you're new to my channel Thank you guys so much for joining Consider subscribing to my channel liking this video and if you guys are just joining this this video live Tell me where you're from so I can say hello. Hello, Hawaii. Here we go Here to get the dogs attention using using positive reinforcement to try to counteract The behavior and manage the the the the reactivity on the leash Taylor. That's a hoax Good So the place command is really good because what it allows us to do is it gives the job multiple jobs at once place There's job one sit job to focus job three So what this does guys is you're noticing that I'm giving her Multiple different things to help her again. This this video is how to manage the situation So if you guys are starting off working with a reactive dog All you can simply do is is just teach the dog some of these things and as you can see as the other dog Is walking around this is a dog that came in with severe Reactivity and as you can see the other dog walking around I'm giving her like Three to five things to do to have her focus on me and I'm paying her periodically with food motivation So what it does is it decreases the stimulation of the other dog and over time? It'll desensitize her from being reactive at all. So the other dog walks in Before she'd go holy crap. Where are you and she'd freak out now What we're doing is we're saying hey, there's a dog and every time there's a dog around something really good happens You get paid. I give you a job and so we're making this experience to be A more positive thing than anything and she's been here for a week or so So she's just really started our program. I'm really really excited about Continuing her education moving forward So I'm gonna do this again just to show you guys a really easy exercise to start managing dog reactivity on the leash Okay She's disengaged off of the other dog Getting a little closer good sit So you guys can tell she's getting over stimulated about the other dog you can tell in her tail You can tell in her breathing so I'm gonna go and get a little bit closer each time to her So you guys can see how I do this process. Okay, break. So what I'm doing is I'm feathering her in so I'm not just going completely in completely in What I'm doing is I'm feathering her in very lightly. So I'm gonna show you that process and how I would do that Get my camera situated. Yeah So as I get closer, you'll notice her stimulation off Excited dog. You'll notice her stimulation will get higher Yeah So that was a big moment there because what happened was hi sweetheart What happened was is is she actually looked over to the dog and she smelled him So she was air-sending so what it did is it turned the reactivity that she normally would have and the overstimulation Into curiosity, which is exactly what we want to do. It's a behavior modification We're literally changing the negative behavior of reactivity and being crazy and what we're doing is we're changing it into something positive So we're getting closer and closer to the dog that normally she would have freaked out about when she first came in and we're making it a positive thing but at the the macro the macro or the bigger picture is the fact that Mentally she's becoming more stable and thinking clearer around other dogs And so what it does is it takes the other behavior away because it's stressful It doesn't make any sense to her She doesn't know why she's reacting and it self perpetuates into this my dog is always reactive And so what we're doing is we're slowly but surely I call it ballooning ballooning in and I'm getting closer and closer to the other dog and making it as much of a possible positive experience as possible and Over time she'll make this connection of other dogs aren't so bad So I'm gonna continue to do this if you guys like this live video. Don't forget to like it. We have nine likes right now There's almost 75 people in here 65 whatever it said So don't forget to like this video if you're here Let me know where you guys are from and if you're watching this in the future Leave a comment and let me know your dog churning questions And of course I'll answer them in the comments later tonight So I'm gonna continue to do this and then I'm gonna put the dogs back and end their sessions for this evening Thank you guys so much for watching again. Let's go. Let's go She's super engaged with me What a good girl So the the main thing here guys is for you guys to understand is That the reward-based system that I was doing and of course watch this On a huge explosion just kidding. Um, but that would happen to me But anyway, so the main thing I want you guys to understand during this process is when I reward her This is key key key key key when I reward her I'm only rewarding her if you watch the video back once in a while. I'm not rewarding her Continuously and continuously and continuously because I'm not I don't want to take away completely of the situation Because if I completely take her focus Through a food drive so dogs are Dog that has food drive as a dog that really really loves food really really gets excited about it If I take if I take her attention onto the food I also need her to be present So I don't want to completely have her be obsessed with the food So I'm only giving her food once every maybe five or six commands or more So that's very important to understand through this process is I'm not bribing her through with food I'm rewarding her with food when she actually completes the task of Looking at the dog and then looking back at me. Yes, but once every maybe five times I'll actually give her a tiny piece of like literally I'll show you guys really quick like literally like this tiny piece of food So you don't want to reward her over and over and over again with food with food Reward but you can praise the hack out of her every single time She's she decides to make a better decision around a dog that she normally would be super reactive to and judging by the behavior I'm seeing my professional opinion is Lupita is very very overly stimulated around other dogs and she just doesn't know how to Maneuver that and so what I have to do is I have to navigate her through the process to really teach her how to make better Decisions around other dogs and to be calmer and to be more relaxed and making the entire experience super super positive Yeah, you're seeing me live. Yay. So anyway, I just wanted to we've been super super busy I was on the road for five weeks. I came back I flew to LA I come back and then I'm flying to Kansas City this weekend and then I'm coming home and then I'm going back to LA and So anyway, a lot of stuff going on.
