Part 1 of 2, watch as a reactive dog meets the group.
But i think it’s hard for people to Understand like really how much of a Bold Move that is to say i’m going to attack A dog because The one dog she shouldn’t attack is the Dog you’re petting That That’s the dog she shouldn’t attack Because mom’s the boss and mom can put Her she wants That’s the one she shouldn’t be Attacking [Music] Five-year-old german shepherd showing up Right now it does not have leash Reactivity but it will attack dogs if Dogs come up to the dog when it’s Unleashed and has done it multiple times And latched on so here’s what we’re Going to be doing we got to figure out First what’s going on okay is it fear is It protection probably isn’t protection People think it’s protection fact that It’s a german shepherd it could be but It almost never is is it fear is it just Get out of here dog i just want to be With my mommy we got to figure out what It is then we hopefully want to get the Dog having doggie friends because it Doesn’t want doggy friends so we gotta Or it doesn’t it doesn’t have any doggie Friends so if you’re going to have Doggie friends upgrade then we’ve got to
Get the owner trained on what to do That’s the goal so figure out what’s Going on Get it doggie friends And then get the owner learning what to Do as that dog rolls up to them okay how Do they how does she deal with her own Dog in that situation all right they’re Here right now Watch out he’s gonna pee Here’s what i’m going to do I want to i want to condition the gentle Leader okay Do you know why a gentle leader is good Why do you think their head And that and that’s after watching those Because in the past with just the caller Yep she’s still here she can get there Yeah this thing she goes i hate you and Then you go like this and her that part With the teeth turn away It can and then what that does it makes You relax so now you me today tomorrow Whatever you can be like if she’s okay And we do a bunch of good stuff today You can be like yeah go meet that dog And you can relax because the minute We’re tight they’re tight and this lets Us relax and the muzzle has i’ve seen That the muzzle helps me do that and the Muzzle can help you exactly then we can Really relax But We’d love to get off the muzzle so if we
Can get to the gentle air so what i Think based on that and based on what Prince seems to like her not that he Wouldn’t because she’s a good dog i Think we go Conditioned gentle leader Me on the other end of the leash Let prince out That’s what i think we do okay another Dog got stitches She bites she bites hard sometimes she Hangs on yeah that’s a huge problem It’s a huge problem and then how do you Eventually get her off when she’s Holding on pull her butt Three people just like meg let go let go And my brother got up in her face like Me yeah let’s go and she was like Finally i’m surprised she holds on like That i really am actually meg you go Meet your friend you’re going to meet Your friend You’re going to meet your friend oh You’re such a sweetie you’re biting and Holding on to dogs that’s not nice Okay Uh we have to condition this gentle Leader first You’re a good girl you’re a nice girl You being out of the mix is setting her Up for success Right now I mean a dog who’s held on to dogs i Generally don’t do this without a muscle
I just don’t but you’re out of the mix So there’s gonna be a different dynamic He’s a good dog the problem is he’s an In-your-face dog he’s an in her face dog So that’s a problem but he’s a likable Dog She already met him she didn’t do Anything to him so we’ll see i just like This a little better than the muzzle Just because she’s like I don’t know there’s a sense that She doesn’t want to hurt anybody This dog doesn’t can’t want to hurt Anybody i don’t know what the biting and Holding on thing is i just don’t know Okay Um Are you ready Why don’t No leash Why don’t you hold his collar right when You come out Meg look your friend’s coming out So this is our one of our goals is to Get her to be friends with dogs He’s a male he’s unneutered She’s female they like that sometimes Meg don’t worry about her dude come on Come on come on come on okay i’m ready Prince relax Stay right there Yeah you go meet your friend You’re gonna meet your friend go and Bring him up while holding him
Yeah Keep him there good I know So what happens prince Don’t worry about her Yeah walk around for a second just Cruise around Good interest you will often not see any Interest from dogs like her She isn’t okay please let him go He’s technically an off-leash dog at This point But she has met him I mean she someone She let a little growl out she he’s a Bull though like we started it tough Like he just comes out and Does what he wants Prince Come on I’m going to give you the leash I want you to just shake your shoulders Out what people do is they They get tense and they bring their Shoulders up and the dog looks at them And they see this They can maybe smell sweat they can Maybe sense you should write this down They should maybe they they can smell Sweat they can maybe sense heart rate But what they can definitely see is Nervousness and they can also feel Shakes in the leash from the leash being Tight so the two only you can’t control
Sweat and you can’t really control heart Rate but you can control shoulders Coming up and that visibility and you Can control the tightness of the leash And the shaking of the leash so what you Should be doing Sit I’m a little over it She wants to get to mommy This dog has been nice to her i’ve been Nice to her that dog’s been nice to her We’re trying to break this mommy deal a Little bit because i don’t know if we Have much of a shot it’s fine all dogs Want to be with not all dogs Money dogs just run around here and love It or they want to sit at the fence and Attack prince a lot of female german Shepherds have like an ocd-ish quality To them a lot Sit Okay so i’m going to give you the leash You’re going to do those two things Which is not be tough on the leash and Shake your shoulders out and prince is Going to cruise around And that’ll be one of the first Rehearsals of you having a dog off leash And the dog being good okay Sit i also I also am right now Trying to break Sit I am also trying to break the mommy
Dependency right now I have not let some mean dog out i have Not been mean to her and i’m trying to Say yeah you want to get to mom i kind Of don’t care I kind of don’t care You got to separate yourself from her And just the sit your butt down And then prince walks over and she goes Yeah i don’t really love him but this Guy Is kinda he’s kind of serious dude We need that and we sit And we need that from you as well not to Say she won’t sit but just the energy of I told you to sit i expect to sit i did Not bring you in here have her Immediately give me the leash scary guy Have her sit and let the dog out we Cruised we let her run i petted her Right there so i know she is nervous and We can’t act like she’s not but we can In a way we can act like she’s not right Okay she got up because he was smelling That’s fine you ready Don’t give her any love Prince go don’t give her any love good Loose leash you can walk you can do Whatever you want Good tail came up i don’t know where it Was with me go and do a sit down i was Down go and do a sit mix it Good Good job prince
Good tell her stay stay wait meg sit Right Hey what did i say good job i i mean yes That’s a lot of words but the tone of it Is like i’m sitting down good good No leave it leave it God Good and i like your hand right there Because if she were to do something You’d go this way and that hand would Already be pulling her head that way Okay now we have seen in the past What did i say not sit we have seen in The past a dog like this be good with me And then minute the owner gets the leash Go with this dog and we’re not seeing That which is good i didn’t really Expect to see it how she’s kind of Turning her back to him Yeah you know Like i don’t want to deal with him you Are gonna meet A random dog okay new dog coming out um Let’s do a sit We grab her let’s do a sit stay For her yeah and like keep her in a sit Stay Good Good Good relax good you’ve got control Okay i want you to really get her in a Sit then i want you to release her to Say hello And i want you to be ready with that
Left hand anything you don’t like you’re Correcting her what did i say Wait Wait And then i want you to say okay why and Release her to say hi to her friend okay Okay Right now okay okay good good stop right There let her say hi if she wants to say Hi Relax relax relax Good job Let her say hi to her friend you’re Ready you’re ready you’re ready you’re Ready tell her calmly she’s a great girl Good girl good girl good job Different tone She really wanted to meet this dog and That was good this dog’s calm i get it If we brought a puppy out it’d be Different if we bought if about a dog Who’s just going to get up in her face And jump on her it’s a different thing But it’s got to be baby steps or we do a Muzzle on but even then we don’t want The dog In her face to scare her and her to go With the dog and Yeah this is really good okay let’s do One more with bo good just kind of right Relax Say hi say hi to your friend no leaving Good i like the tone it’s like This is she a boy
Relax relax Yeah there’s a lot of avoiding i mean we Don’t want to like force things too much The worst is your own dog’s here dog There we pet our dog dog goes at the Other dog and another trigger can be Exactly that go to pet the other dog and This dog comes in what i like to do Not if it’s dangerous but i like to go Pet the other dog And then your dog comes in And you go get out of here and then you Go get out of here she goes yeah but What she’s like i saw the circle of Trust you’re not in it we know you have Bad intentions you’re out dude I’m a big fan of that but that’s hard Okay here’s what i think we do i’m gonna I think we go off leash Muzzle on prince out if you want a pet Prints you can but you can’t go like This you can’t go oh prince and you’re Just like don’t have a clue where your Dog is because she could be fully coming In here if you want to pet prince do it But i want you to go high prince And then the minute she’s in you’re Going get out of here okay hi prince but You have to watch her because she you Mom can pet whoever the hell she wants That isn’t I hate that behavior when a dog’s like No no no no i get her wanting to be with You i get her going at dogs to some
Degree based on her That I get that there’s fear and that drives All this Not allowing mom to pet a nice dog That is where that is the only super Obnoxious aspect to her think about how Obnoxious that is But i think it’s hard for people to Understand like really how much of a Bold Move that is to say i’m gonna attack a Dog because The one dog she shouldn’t attack is the Dog you’re petting That That’s the dog she shouldn’t attack Because Mom’s the boss and mom can put her she Wants That’s the one she shouldn’t be Attacking Where did he go he’s in the house Okay you ready Prince Okay Friends friends friends All right let’s go past her Or should we do bow right now up here Oh look she’s totally wandering from you She’s not like oh i gotta stand by mom Go on calmly pet prince and watch watch Her No no
No Wait You wait Pat him get ready tell her to get the Heck out of here Now look at prince Pet prince look at him good now pet her A little bit just a tiny bit Okay I wouldn’t be putting her in a your Weight is like a stay And that’s not a stay she got it many Times i would just be like Don’t put her in the behavior i’d just Be like go go and then like pet him and She gets up go Just it’s a sit stay but you didn’t You knew you weren’t going to get a real Sis stay for that so don’t ask a sit Wait Let’s go bo Okay off leash with friends every time She looks at your tail wags I think I honestly think That was a good girl walk a little that Was good actually that was really good Because the dog came in between you I believe that that getting her saying Go and petting prince had by far the Biggest impression on her brain Today and going forward i believe it’ll Have a lasting impression I just
What the heck just happened in her Little world at that moment she was like What And i don’t think you’d probably done That before Um pet the other dog while telling while Telling her to get out of here So you’ve done that and so they like i Said Oh good good good don’t say anything If she goes at any of these dogs there Are going to be consequences we are Going to grab her We are going to sit her down And like with energy These are nice dogs and they haven’t Done anything she can’t do anything to These dogs at this point okay and there Could be a trigger if this one tries to Get in between her and you good Good we have to keep the muzzle on Based on the Based on the holding on good job by the Way all the knees with the gentle ear Um We have to keep the muslin based on the Based on the stitches And the history When they hold on it’s totally different You know what to do what do you do if an Off-leash dog she’s on leash off-leash Dog comes up to you you want to avoid Off-leash meetings she don’t want it she Doesn’t need it
Yeah you don’t want it so you’re walking Her Dog comes running up i ho i try to hold This i prefer the leash not to be loose When the meeting hap to be to be loose When the meeting happens But We don’t want the meeting to happen Right you don’t have flex dog rolling up To a right right i mean this is Different this is training that is Badness no one’s getting anything out of It Especially her And there could be horribleness Getting out of it so you’re going to Hold her behind you a little bit Get out of here Get out of here and she’s like all Worked up but you’re like get out here Because you’re trying okay that didn’t Work or maybe oh it’s a nice lab i met With joel she was good with the dogs Let’s actually let this meeting happen You want me to happen Then you relax You can either do a sit stay or you can Just relax and i just go like okay oh my God i got to become i’ve got to become Good girl good girl good girl and then She does something and I know i know you’re a good girl does That make sense that process because That did happen yeah okay and we are
Going to simulate um oh do we have the Gentleman anymore no okay we’re gonna Simulate off-leash dog grinding up to us I want you to ignore this dog I am Okay and here’s what i want you to watch My relaxation Okay because the minute we get stiff and We that’s when badness could happen okay My my real life you’re a good girl You’re gonna meet your friend Are you gonna meet your friend or you Can be nice to your friend There you go don’t worry about mommy Uh but we’re not getting you out of the Mix we’re still having you in the mix so It’s kind of like in a way you have the Leash right now okay go ahead Yeah look at this dog off leash dog Just cruising Yeah growl right there We’re not correcting that i mean Anything’s better than a latch-on Ignore good job Good girl you’re okay hey you’re okay You’re okay Watch me just try to watch me if you can Okay still not the toughest thing in the World but tougher than the other two Dogs Oh my goodness I don’t hate it That was like a almost like a weirdly Happy grout no
