You are the most awesome mom to Remy❣️

New subscriber here. So glad I found your channel. I adopted a rescue who I was told was a good walker. She gained 12 lbs (she had been underweight) & now is a large 67 lb dog. She is very reactive to anything moving on walks. She has dragged me down the street a number of times. Funny thing is that she does well in dog parks. I’ve given up on walking her because I’ve come so close to serious injury. I’m a small 68 yo &, live alone & isolated. I can see belatedly I should have rescued a much smaller dog. The past 9 months with her have been very stressful. I’m thankful we can do the dog parks for exercise & socialization. I could not find your video about your struggles with Remy mentioned in above comment. Can you direct me? ❤

Love this and Will be making several!!!!thanks!!

Part 2 please

Thank you for this great video and I love the tips at the end, so good to hear.

Thanks so much for your truly helpful video, especially the part on sympathizing with the emotional aspects of having a "spicy" dog 😡 🤯 😢 . Would definitely love more! 🙏

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow this is full of great ideas! Thanks 😊

Thank you for this channel. I have watched probably 100 different dog trainers on CZcams and your channel is absolutely the best for learning how to deal with a reactive dog. I literally cried when I watched your video about Remy and how difficult he was and how you found yourself hating him. I was hating my highly reactive rescue dog at the time (she had put me in urgent care with cracked ribs and a mild concussion due to her reactivity on a walk) and I was feeling like a terrible person because I was seriously considering rehoming her. It was so helpful to see your experience and have some validation for my feelings. The trainer we finally found made a very helpful suggestion: stop walking your dog for a while. Because of where we live and the number of dogs, it was nearly impossible to walk her without encountering another dog(s) in way that made her go over her threshold. Since then, I have exercised her in our yard and taken her to Sniffspots where there are no other dogs seen or heard so she can get additional exercise. Now that she rarely goes over threshold, she is generally calmer, happier and learns better. I have been able to bond with her and appreciate her many awesome qualities. We have started working on BAT training and will see how it goes. She is not going to be rehomed. Thank you. As an aside, re: your recommendation to see a veterinary behaviorist; I live in a major urban center (Seattle) and the closest certified veterinary behaviorist is 150 miles away in another state. When I inquired, he had a six month waiting list for new clients. It’s pretty much impossible to find one.

My 1 year old dog taz got knee surgery and one of my friends gave him food btw he just got this done and this is not good and he can die now

My issue is, he is a lunger and barker, his harness slides off when he pulls because his hair is so smooth, and he’s not treat oriented when he’s anxious. After seeing a vet specialist and a behaviouralist. It turns out he has loose joints (EDS) and above normal anxiety. (backyard breeding) What has helped is throwing the treats on the ground, heads down not seeing people or other dogs (big difference) because he always spat them out. I put a dog car seat back in my car for him because car seats are smooth and curved and it was putting pressure on his joints to balance. I call him 10kg of hard work. 😂 Maltese shitzu poodle.

Totally agree❤

What if you just poured water on the dog? Vs the Vest.

My last baby was a toy and lived to be 18. She was a Party Poodle. This means her Apricot coat had a white chest. She was beautiful. For some reason she never barked. I’m on my 9th poodle and wouldn’t have any other bread.

I babysit my friends Great Pyrenees all of the time! Big Beautiful loving girl. ❤

My dog doesn’t really love eating the dehydrated food that looks like oatmeal or soup. He’s a GSD. My old 20 year old Jack Russel loved Spot Farms dehydrated food though. She had very little teeth left, and it suited her. Spot Farms is also human grade dehydrated food like this.

Puppy nightmare. 5 months now, a BIG boy . Smart and stubborn is sure right. Such a lover tho. 60 pounds at the moment wants to be on my lap 24-7. Welcome member of the family.

This is the best video I've watched about reactivity. My only problem is my dog isn't treat or toy motivated. I'm really stumped about how to distract her.

Good for an older small dog, who is missing teeth.

I have a reactive miniature poodle dog. He is 3 years old and not neutered. He is very smart and adaptable. However, when guests come to the house, he barks a lot, or when someone leaves the room, he jumps on them, sticks to their clothes, and tries to stop them. He only does this when I am in the room. Besides, he does not act like this towards other people or dogs on the street. I have done a lot of reading and watched videos. What most of them suggest seems to be punishment-focused, correcting with a leash seemed a bit logical, but it didn't work for us, he became even more stressed. I try to attract his attention with a reward as soon as he does this behavior, but he doesn't focus on me. Normally, he always looks into my eyes. How can I solve this problem?😢

Can you do a video on superexcited dog when we are about to go out for a walk

How do you store them

Hi How did remy do post op nights for the first week ,did you happen to spend nights with cone on his head cause they don’t want him to get to his wounds and I do have a long road a head we have both the knees one after another. It’s very pain to think about this whole procedure I want to put this behind. Soon as possible. Any suggestions is helpful. Thank you for the honest video ❤

Hi thank you for the video iit gives me lot of positive vibes to go thru surgery for my dog Leo German Shepard. My Leo is almost 4 years old I am in the same boat as you , not sure how he hurt himself. But now the vet is tell us he needs surgery because he’s torn is cal so the surgery they are suggesting is TTO on his knee. I am very worried how all this going to go. Never been so much before. I am a nurse myself. Hoping for the best for Leo. Thank you. How is Remy doing now. ❤

👀

He’s very silly. Very much attached & spoiled !

I love my boy 🥳🐩🐾

Can I buy one?

Love it! ❤ Which size have you gotten for your dog? thinking of getting mine the same

Thank you for making this video. It’s very clear and encouraging! One difficulty I have is knowing how far away I need to be to keep my dog under threshold because his reaction varies so much. Some dogs he barely notices, yet others further away send him into orbit. Any advice for this? Just start extra far away and upon success move closer?

Your advice is always spot on. Thank you for being so thoughtful.

Great video😀! I’ll have to try this one out now that it’s getting warmer!❤

Very helpful thank you :)

your theories do not mean much if they did not work ... viewers want a real pro to explain what to do.

I'm a dog behaviourist and specialise in reactivity in the UK!! What is concerning here is how your dog walks far i front and the harness!! How are these things not addressed?? We get dogs over reactivity in an hour outside and 3 hours baseline work inside!!

This is a wonderful video, i too have a highly reactive dog but she doesnt take in treats much when shes outdoor therefore shes not gonna be taking in treats in between the silence too:/ any tips on how to improve on that?

Cool!

Your comments on the prong collars are completely wrong and couldn't be more ridiculous, and misleading! Ist off the prongs, do not dig into the dogs neck and/ or choke the dog! 2nd, the collar you showed in the video is like the size of the Titanic's anchor. 70% to 80% of dogs would work perfectly on a 2.25 mm size collar which is the size above a micro prong. The tips of the prongs are not sharp, they are subtly 4:14 rounded. The ONLY prong recommended is German quality of the Herm Springer brand. Stay away from cheap Chinese made garbage knockoffs! They are very poor quality! 3rd, it is designed to protect the trachea by dispersing pressure equally around the neck stimulating the mother dog or alpha dog using its mouth to make a correction. So this collar communicates to the dog in a way that actually makes sense to them in their own body language. 4th, you DO NOT jerk the collar or choke the dog. You teach the dog a language of learning pressure on, and pressure off. The dog learns that they control the pressure on and off switch. 5th, when a correction is applied you use a wrist pop, which quickly releases and literally gives you as little as two finger power steering control. Used in a combination of changing directions, quick flicks, verbal markers and praise, along with food reward, make the prong a total combination of a negative humane corrections, followed by a variety of positive rewards. This makes it an amazing tool which most dogs thrive & excel with! This is why the prong, along with ecollars are the preferred tools of true balanced and competitive dog training professionals! Any tool can be misused and abused. Lack of knowledge, understanding, and skills in using any tool can be damaging. Riding a tricycle vs driving a race car all comes down to the above 3 elements! It's all about how the equipment is properly used. Don't mislead people with comments such as yours if you do not know what you are talking about. P.S. All these science based quotes referring to these tools are all a bunch of garbage! Again, they are made by people wearing white coats, hiding in labs. Most, if any have never handled dogs professionally. Especially reactive & aggressive dogs. Remember, knowledge, understanding and experienced skill levels are what make the difference! Be open minded to what is advanced beyond a clicker and a bag of treats. SCIENCE!!!!!!!! Ha ha!

I’m so glad you posted this; I needed to see it. 6 weeks ago I adopted a Plott Hound from a shelter. I’ve had a Plott before but that one and my current are similar in some ways and night and say different in others. My first was Plott mixed with a European lab and, evidently, had the lab’s personality (sweet, snuggly, friends with everybody) but had the Plott’s intelligence. My current Plott is 100% Plott - temperament, reactivity, difficulty to train. Like your Remi (hopefully, I spelled that correctly), unfortunately I don’t think my current Plott is going to be everybody’s best friend, which isn’t what I wanted and and it breaks my heart.

By law, if your dog is in public and is on a longer than 6 ft leash of any length, they are considered off leadh and you face getting a citation. The reason is if the dog is beyond a normal length they feel you do not have the ability to fully control and/ or correct the dog if there is a dangerous interaction with a child, adult or other dog.

My 11 year old Shih Tzu Bichon Oliver tore his ccl in his right leg back in february and had the lateral suture surgery. Which he stretched. So he goes back in for that on June 12th. But then this last weekend he tried jumping on furniture and hurt his good leg. We took him to the ER vet and they didn't think it was a ccl tear. The vet said he did the drawer test and x-rays and didn't see any of the signs. But as of today he is still having trouble walking. They said soft tissue injury but I am unsure as he will only walk so far before sitting down. It scares of of the idea of him having to get both legs done because of his age. But he is healthy otherwise and he loves to go for walks. I'm really hoping the vet at the ER was right. I am scheduling a recheck with our regular vet ASAP to make sure before his other leg gets worked on. He is my wife and I's baby it's been so hard.

Hey I really like the camera angle you're able to capture in your videos. Is this just a regular head-mounted action cam?

1:41 what a cool looking dude just picked mine up yesterday as an 8 week/20lb’r!

Why do youtubers ruin their otherwise good videos with annoying background music? Uggg

Poodles are fascinating,💖💖

Thank you very much for this awesome video! I absolutely loved the last few words you said about you and Remy, it really comes from your heart!🥰

How much did something like this cost? I'll find out next Monday when my golden retriever gets his x. Rays, if he might need surgery or not. Either way, if he needs surgery, i'm getting it done

I'd be so scared if an off leash dog walked by so close. I know that one was so well trained. But my dog got viciously attacked by an off leash loose dog and I'm so scared now. My dog is a 65 lb half pit and a mastiff attacked her. 😢

Thanks for the insightful video. My senior adoptive is fear reactive and will lounge at dogs that show interest or stare him down. He is otherwise an amazing dog, with lots of smarts. He became more reactive after my neighbors dog ran up to him off leash and did not disengage him.
