This is a little clip taken from a home visit with a dog reactive Rottweiler. The full video will be up in due course but this particular clip is something worth sharing.
I’ve got the owner of the Rottweiler to walk down the road, she has to walk past 2 dogs, my Sammie and Teddy. You remember Teddy, the dog reactive DDB failed by a force free trainer for nearly a year.
We are setting up a real world scenario, one that is unavoidable. That’s the thing about the real world, as hard as you try, it’s impossible to avoid dogs all of the time.
In this clip the owner leash checks the dog twice. Both times when the dog shuts his mouth and is looking at the dogs.
It’s this little sign dogs do that is nearly always missed.
You see when a dog is exercised, more often then not they’re panting, this is a good thing, a panting dog in this scenario is a relaxed dog, not a stressed dog. But when the dog shuts its mouth and focuses on something, this is when the whole mood changes, the thought process changes and with a reactive dog, it’s nearly always ends up with them reacting.
You see how after the leash check, the dog goes back to panting and does not react.
It’s this split second correction that prevents this.
Now people will say corrections are unnecessary and that you should teach the dog what you want. I agree you should teach the dog what you want, but corrections also teach the dog what NOT to do, which is also a pivotal part of learning.
Growing up, we are not always taught what to do and how to do things, were also told what not to do and that there are consequences for our actions, dogs learn very similar.
The whole video (coming soon) we also teach the owners what to do, where possible, to keep the dog under the threshold, but a good trainer, will also prepare their clients and the dogs, for situations that are unavoidable and how to keep the dog in a better state during that time.
A SPLIT SECOND CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REACTING AND NOT REACTING ! sex offender | |
