 You sat in the middle of a park for quite a few hours just sitting there basically waiting on her. Our owners probably to come back and they never did so the biggest thing is for being calm around other dogs. What's going on guys? Tom Davis here, America's canine educator. Welcome back to the coolest dog training channel right here on YouTube. You guys, you heard that clear. You heard that right. Correct. Unfortunately, this dog has left at a park abandoned alone, super sad. But don't worry guys. In this video, there is for sure a happy ending. In this video guys, we do an entire behavior modification. We go through exactly why reactivity happens on the leash, why this particular dog is reactive as well as the exercises, the tools, the training, everything that you need to say, how your breathing needs to be, everything. This is one of my favorite videos that we've done from the ground up fundamentals of how to overcome and modify leash reactivity and build confidence in a dog. I'm very excited about this video. If you guys haven't yet, do me a favor, like this video. Of course, smash that subscribe button. We put videos out like this every single week. Don't forget, as always guys, we're doing a giveaway. We're going to be giving away some free no bad dog hats so make sure you watch the whole thing. I'm going to stop talking and I want you guys to really, really pay attention to this video for all the questions and all the people who are dealing with leash reactivity and their dogs reactive on the leash. This video is for you. Let's go. Let me get out one of my fake dogs really quick. He's really friendly and really quiet, but everybody reacts to him for some reason. Okay. We'll probably start off with the plastic pinch collar. I like using the plastic pinch on dogs with this type of coat so there's no double coat. There's not an insulator and a guard hair. It's just the guard hair. So I want to start off with our training leash, which is a four foot biothane, no bad dog engraved leash here. A lot going on guys. Obviously, the external barking and reactivity is what you guys are mainly focused on. But what I want to do is I not only want to shut down that behavior, discourage that behavior. I want a teacher to get over that behavior. I actually want to modify it so right now there's an equation, right? So the equation right now is dog, other dog reaction. I want to change that to dog dog, no reaction. So I'm going to start off with some basic leash pressure and create a template for you guys to be able to be sustainably successful for her. Okay. So what we're going to do is I'm going to go back and forth. So I call this a calibration or tune up. And when you were handling her, she was bang, bang, bang. So I want, like, when I turn, I want her to go, oh, we're turning. Okay. We're good. So we're working together. Beginning, it's just going to become. And then it's going to turn into a heel. Roxy come. Good. So see that little pop there guys? So what that does is it, I'm disrupting the build. So much like a pot of water simmering before it boils. She sees this dog and I can hear her and I can physically see her start to, just a little bit. So when I turn, I'm doing two things. I'm teaching her directional change on the leash with leash pressure, but I'm also discouraging the build. So I'm doing two things at once. So she's learning leash pressure, but she's also breaking that fill. Okay. Roxy, come. Good. Come. Good job. Come. Good. Come. Yes. Good job. Come. Yeah. Well, there's no other animals. Right. It's fabulous. Yeah. What a world that would be. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what everyone talks about. Everyone talks about like that, that rainbows and butterflies world of that, that, that doesn't really, we don't live in that world. Yeah. We don't live in that. I wish we did man. No problems. No stress living on an island in Jamaica with Bob Marley all day. That would be sweet. Now that world doesn't exist unfortunately. So, so we have to work through these things to say, Hey, here's a couple things we're going to implement to make this more successful. And as you can tell when she's working, all she wants to do is please, which is like most dogs. So it's great. So I'm going to keep doing this directional change, but now I'm going to tighten it up to the heel. So the heel left side loose leash. So what we're doing here guys is micro macro. So the micro is that she's learning heel macro is is when we bring another dog out, I'm going to ask her to heal and she's going to know what to do where I don't want to just correct her. Hey, stop barking. Hey, stop barking. I want to say, Hey, you're supposed to be healing and not barking. Oh, okay. So it makes it fair for her and it makes her digest that information and actually resolve and modify the behavior. When you ask a dog to heal, it's much like a manual transmission. You're just going to put it right into gear and it's not going to go out of gear until you then give them that release, which will be break. So Roxy heel, good heel, sit. Yes. Good. Good. Okay. Break. One thing I want to do is just get out a little bit of food and I want to start working on the leave it command. We have a little bit of yummy, yummy food here. Leave it. Yes. Good. Leave it. Yes. Good. Leave it. Leave it. So this is important. You see how I'm pairing my leave it with my correction. So when we talk about, so could I do this without this collar? Absolutely. Could I do with the harness? Probably. But the training aspect is I'm training her and I'm teaching you that the reality is, is I'll need this training collar when the rubber meets the road. When I get dogs running through here later on and she's not choking herself out and dragging you down the aisle there again. All right you guys, it's giveaway time. It's your chance to win some free no bad dog hats. All you guys have to do in the comments below is leave your dog's name letter by letter by letter. I will pick three people in 24 hours. Ready, set, go. Leave it. Yes. Good. Leave. Well done. Good girl. Very lovely. I don't know how anybody would leave you in the park. I would never leave you in the park. Okay. And so the collar is just giving me that little extra hey, hey, hey. So it's enforcing my verbal. So it's conditioning. You grab the keys. The dog goes, we're going somewhere. Put the ball down. We're eating. Say walk. We're walking. Whatever. It's the same end of the spectrum. I'm just conditioning with some sort of positive punishment to say when I say leave it, if there's no compliance and you don't back out and recluse from what you're doing, there's going to be a followup. So that's what she's learned here. Leave it. Correction. Leave it. Yes. Good. Leave it. Before when you had her out with the other dog, it was just chaos. We don't know what to do. We know it's not good. We don't love it. I know she doesn't love it. What do we do? So now we have the heel. We have to leave it in the basic leash pressure to teach her that when another dog comes out, she's going to, you know, we're going to go through that process. Leave it. Leave it. Leave it. Leave it. Good. We're going to take out the other dog that we're reactive to and we're going to apply our leash pressure. Heel. Good. Now stop right there for a second. Heel. Good. Heel. Yes. Good heel. Again, this is the big picture. Come out. Heel. Yes. Good heel. Good. So one thing you're missing, go back the other way. One thing you're missing. Come back towards me. Just one. It's okay. What do you, what do you think? No. She's doing good. It's a trick. It's kind of a trick question. I don't think you're going to get it. Okay. You're, you're not rewarding her enough. Yeah. Okay. So before when we brought that dog out, it was chaos. So now that she's rewarded that. Hey, good heel. Like literally just let her know. It's a lot of craftsmanship. And as soon as she finally starts to go. This. Yes. So when another dog comes out and she just does this instead of before. Good heel and just make it as lovely as possible. And that's part of operant conditioning. Yay. Good job. But hey, when you react and be a lunatic, not a good dog. Oh, here's my baby girl. Oh, there's your baby girl. Oh, there's your baby girl. Just a quick pop. Yep. Exactly. Don't pull her popper. Oh, this is exciting stuff. I love it. Right. Now I'm going to replace you. So there's a great opportunity when you have a dog on any protection collar, plastic pinch, prong collar, whatever. If the dog is here and it's fully extended, this doesn't do anything. So when she goes forward and I'm here, this doesn't do anything. So people put the prong on like this. They're like, this thing doesn't freaking work. Well, no, you're not using it right. So when you're here and you're trying to do stuff, your actual correction needs to come down and pop up to get her, all you're doing is you're disrupting getting her attention. So you have to be careful on your leverage. So if she was here and I'm trying to correct her for reacting, I'd have to come out and then back in out. So don't go here and then pull because that doesn't do you anything. So Roxy, heal. Good. He'll now stop. Put her in a sit. Good. And I hold that. Nice and relaxed. Breathe. Remember to breathe. That's it. Good job, baby girl. Very good. So now big difference, right? Big difference. But watching her behavior, she now has the opportunity to watch this dog and become, oh, maybe I, what was it? What's the big deal here? So, so as we continue this, because you can look at her face, she's not like waiting for this dog to mess up. She's not prey watching this dog. So in the beginning when I said, I'm going to modify her perception of other dogs on the leash. One turns into two turns into three and then four and then, hey, it's not so much of the big deal and hey, now it's not a big deal. So see how she's, she's breathing calmly. She's looking at me like, what are you going to do? That tells me that this dog, so I want to watch her behavior as Frankie moves. So Kyle, can you just go back and forth? That's where you would pay. That's it. I love her body language right now. Looks really good. She must like this, this dog off the bat. She's already turned. Well done. Well done. That was wonderful. This is a whole new dog. And when I say like modify, like that was modified. She went from progressional, right? Then this dog came out and she's just wagging her tail. She's like, I don't feel like I want to react anymore. It's wonderful. Very, very good. Okay, heal her again. So you didn't see, but there was another dog that just came in too. She's like, Good job. You did good. You did good. Hey, good job.
