Is the kid like throwing these temper Tantrums or three is when i think it Hits because the kid’s in a fear period It’s not it’s not always fear their Brain’s changing it’s just called if You’re period i want to rename it i Don’t actually love that Why are you whining i don’t actually Love that look at this pole Dude This dog is a polar you saw pre Uh intro you saw him freaking out in a Private session Please please Blaze come I’m going to grab some treats too hey Hey hey hey Chill Chill Just have a little conversation with him Okay You’re okay You’re okay You’re a good boy all right You see that little like move where he Left me and he was like Just subtle It was there though Pulling to get to carly constantly he Loves carly so he’s like i don’t really Want to be with this guy i’ve been Nothing but nice to him but he’s like oh Now you want to be with this guy that’s Why i got the treats you want to be with
Carly how about you want to be with me i Got treats Okay How’s this sit at your front door i’m Gonna go and i’m gonna you think i got a Shot of this guy staying when he just Comes around here and he leans against The front door the minute this thing’s Open he’s gonna leave it blaze come Now i haven’t done a lot of work with Him sit I’m not saying that you shouldn’t before You go on a walk you shouldn’t do sits And stays you should but you also have To go on walks you can’t have your sits Perfect your stays perfect before you Ever leave your house blaze but sit i Mean and he knows sits and downs and Stuff but he doesn’t really know of me Okay Oh treat this is a dog where treats feel Right he’s young he’s going through a Fear period there are some dogs out here Who they know how to walk but they just Don’t do it they know how to They just like pulling mom down the Street and it works for them so why not Do it those are the dogs where i’m not Gonna be like oh please just stay with Me so you can get a treat please please Dog hey kid do your chores and i’ll give You money every time how about you just Do them and i’m not perfect with my kids I pay them for stuff i probably
Shouldn’t Do your work contribute to the house We’re not paying you for everything Him he’s a different story he’s young he Doesn’t know me that well so we need to Why don’t i use treats in these videos All the time For you guys because most of the dogs I’m doing it with are simply going yeah I feel like pulling and lunging and Pulling you down the street and they’re Adults and they’re just like i feel like Doing it no no no no no this young dog Though it’s a little different story Okay so hopefully i’m clearing that up For you a little bit He is a load i’m telling you this dog There’s a weight to him that’s different Like right Stay okay you want to sit at the edge of The door sit stay Okay Oh I love it that was perfect so i’m going To reinforce it I’m not begging him with treats Sit now we’re going to go on a walk Good boy The door method was pretty good right There right guys oh Okay Come on out carly Okay we’re going on a walk you can leave That open
He’s on leash he said yeah i want to see Carly i said i don’t really care Now look at him he’s a little tamped Down after that was really my first Correction and i’ll give him tons of Treats and i have but you can’t just go Wherever you want to go you want to see A good walker And we’re going to reinforce a choice We’re not begging with treats But we’re going to reinforce choices Yes That is our great great boy That is only That only worked because of Those two corrections did they hurt him No they did not hurt him he left me on a Leash and there was a consequence We’re going to see a dog up here Hopefully we’re going to see chester and We’re going to see How this goes But have i done my work leading up to The dog Yeah Oh that’s our good boy Have i done my work leading up to the Dog I believe i have does that mean he’s Going to be perfect he’s not perfect Right now then He needs to watch me By the way guys let’s let’s most of you Have seen this method
This is arguably the method that’s My most popular you let the dog leave You You stop you bend down you give a two Inch correction Then you shorten the leash up again wait Till the dog’s calm then you proceed With the walk okay Here’s chester up here Here it comes here comes chester Boy i let him get it out i let him run a Little bit We’re over it i let him get it out Butt flip good boy he can look he cannot Good boy he cannot i let him get it out I didn’t want to sit there and just Correct him correct him correct me he’s A young dog going to fruitful he went to The end but bark bark bark i knew with This with this um australian shepherd Brain he wasn’t going to get out of it Okay i had to get him out of it so a Couple butt flips good boy now you’re a Convoy we have to go he’s in a fear Period Let him get it out for a minute not be Too good i’m not going to sit there and Go oh please don’t please don’t bark at That dog and give a treat i let him get It out and then i was over it But that was also without hardly any Corrections And i’ll do this all day i’ll do so many Stops
I don’t care Now he’s next to me This is a dog who you you have to let Him get out that get out of this fear Period And do like what i did there Which was like let him get it out a Little bit and then go we’re over it There was no cue given why didn’t i give A verbal cue he doesn’t care wouldn’t Have done anything Stop talking to your dog when they’re in A fit Because they don’t hear you what you do Is you talk to them thinking they Understand you And then you forget what you’re doing With your body it’s all about what You’re doing with your body Okay Good boy The more stops you do the more you just The dog has to pay attention to you And you want to start giving that stop When the dog Is don’t give it when they pull If they’re pulling it’s too late You give it on Like There was a check-in right there He’s pretty much in front of me i think He’s probably with me But maybe not Just a little i’m here buddy don’t
Don’t forget i’m here Don’t forget i’m here Oh Okay Don’t be afraid to flip around We’re going this way And flip back around Reset them with going the other way It’ll often bring them back Blaze throwing some treats for a young Dog Back behind you oh now he’s leaving me And we’re going the other way You want to leave We’ll go the other way walk into them Good let’s see if that turn in that Walk-in had any effect He’s essentially oh he’s not behind me But he’s he’s with me So that was a turn and a walk-in to him And now we got a dog he’s like oh yeah i Forgot sorry i’m in a fair period i’m in The middle of a street I i forgot it’s like your kid’s going to Disneyland and you tell them you’re in The parking lot they see all the stuff At disneyland and you’re telling them to Get behind you they’re being drawn Forward they’re not making a choice to Go forward they’re being they just ca They don’t even think about it they’re Just being drawn there You’re they’re going to be in front of You he’s being drawn up that doesn’t
Mean with a dog We let it happen you don’t go to Disneyland every day you’re going to Walk every day but it’s like disneyland So you’ve got to be hardcore about this Stuff i don’t care that he’s being drawn Forward I just want you to a glimpse into your Dog’s mind okay we’re going back Bump he’s not watching me so he gets a Correction Yep there’s carly But treats also are important which i Ran out We’ll do this all day buddy So we’ll do this all day just like he’s Like i want to go see carly no you don’t You can’t go see carly i want to go see Carly yeah you can’t go see carly That was like years of training right There for whatever reason he’s been on My left the whole time he said i want to Go to the right i stopped him right About here he didn’t get over there That’s what you guys got to learn by the Way You guys have to learn to like Anticipate the move and then i brought Him back over here left’s the only spot Now why the left actually it doesn’t Matter left or right to me why one side Because he has least reactivity if your Dog does not have leash reactivity i Don’t care what you do
Let them pull I mean you don’t want to pull but let Them move let them do anything they Don’t release your activity if your dog Has leafy activity like 90 of the dogs That i show you in these videos If they have that You cannot You cannot Let them go wherever the heck they want Then why wouldn’t they why wouldn’t they Freak out on leash you just let them go Over here and go over here and pull you Towards bushes now this guy’s also Strong-willed dog he has some resource Guarding issues he is like Tries to be like the boss of Prince is the only one he doesn’t try to Be the boss of So there’s a hard-headedness to him Where he’s like yeah but i want to do This And i’m just like i don’t care It’s a good It’s a fight worth havoc this walk and Me saying No no no Is a fight worth having let’s see i Don’t know if chester will bark over Here we’ll get by chester and then we’ll Be done He wants to get over here we’re done Going over there stop pay attention to Me
This is a walk this is hardcore We’re not messing around go have fun With your friends but on a walk On a walk There are rules to this walk Good boy I keep my eyes on the whole time Right I gave him a calm good boy don’t pet Your dog if i would have pet him at that Point he would leave it He also he also says Make it uncomfortable for him to like my Leg move right there he was like coming Over here And i just he kind of walked into my leg You got to get closer carly This guy is a load i’m telling you We’re over it Sit [Music] Okay You got to reset him sometimes he’s like Sit Okay There you guys who If any of you think There isn’t some Like boss i’m the boss aspect to this Stuff you’re out of your mind Like right there i was like sit you Behind down he’s like okay sorry and it It got him like okay this guy’s the boss It matters
It absolutely matters It absolutely matters It’s the reason i’m able to do what i do With these dogs is because of that Attitude and i want you guys to have That attitude okay That’s the video of blaze young dog Leisure activity you saw it Then you saw it you saw me pass chester Again 80 better on the second pass Okay partly because of the method partly Because he desensitized to chester a Little bit But he’s a tough dog he’s like a lot of Your dogs but can’t forget that for your Period and being patient i wasn’t i Didn’t let him do a bunch of bad stuff But also like i wasn’t that hardcore Right but you but You could even be probably Actually be just like me just like i was In that video at this dog’s age that’s It that’s the video subscribe to the Channel if you Got something out of this video
