    My naturally extroverted exuberant dog was severely traumatised when sge was 3 years old and developed a generalised fear, of first all people, but then for the longest time it was mostly a fear of men. My girl's body language used to catch strangers attention so much they would ask what happened, I would explain, and I was so fortunate to have tonnes of strangers instantly and without me having to ask, lower their bodies, even sitting on the ground and I would hand the stranger some treats, they'd give my dog 10 minutes and in that time she'd do her quick sniffs and dart back a few times, then she'd offer a paw to shake hands, she would take treats and the strangers would give her enough time to reach a point where my dogs fear turned into play bows and joyfulness to meet them. I always wondered if I was pushing my dog to far in my hope to recover her from a fear level that was heartbreaking to see. She was aged 3 then. Now she is 6 and she's almost back her OTT eager to meet self again....I wish she wasn't so greedy to meet people, but I'd prefer that over her being morbidly fearful. I practiced desensitisation and habituation techniques in a desperate bid to recover my dog. She's 6 now and she can still be triggered into being skittish with men, but she bounces back real quick - she's more resilient and back to exuberant again. She comes across as super friendly and coy or shy at the same time. I learned not to be afraid to ask a stranger who commented in my dog in passing, if they had a few minutes to spare to meet her properly and usually they obliged. Now....we do dog obedience to have her learn that she doesn't have to meet everyone she meets (which was where we were at when she was 3).
    I use R+ methods with my dog because that's what works for her - but in regard to trauma recovery I had to support her in a way that helped push her past her fears, always finishing on a good note.
    And strangely.....my dog does not hound other people for treats after using that method- its as if she knows it is just reserved for when she needs to build trust.
    You've outlined all the steps so clearly. I feel more validated now and am glad I didnt accept that my dogs phobic level generalised fears were permanent.

    Does anyone remember the saying, "sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind"? Not that anything that's being done/said is cruel . Maybe the dog is uncomfortable for a short time but the long-term outcome is to save the dog's life . I'm so over the "do-gooders" who do nothing but throw obstruction into the path of people struggling to just live with their reactive/fearful dog. Ythis is real world training not rarified "book learning". Thanks for sharing your experience and advice, especially on social media where the jackals are always lurking to criticize and demonize trainers.

    I was thrilled to learn a new method to help my pooch overcome his fear of humans. For many months I tried the treat reward as we met new people or situations. A tiny improvement but inconsistent. After hearing you talk about giving the stranger danger person the chicken, having them first toss it to my pup, and eventually setting a piece on the knee and letting my dog go to that person - big help. My dog is still nervous, but he shows signs of improvement.

    I love that method of using the long lead and slowly reeling the dog in. My niece/nephew's dog refuses to come to me (don't know why, she's just a four-legged chicken). She has come and sat next to me by accident a few times and sat there enjoying the head scratch and pets she was getting from me, but the memory isn't a lasting one. I'll have to give this one a try.

    DD is big on the pull-in. He drags them in pretty hard but he's subtle, too, he'll tag their butt or touch their back when they get close enough, and then release some tension, and then pull them back in and touch them again. It works great.

I'm Inna gsd dog group and asked for some more tips and advice, when I said about giving them treats for him loads was saying it was a bad thing to do and not do it so I stopped because I'm no expert, he's started lunging at people now and I'm scared on walks he's going to hurt someone.

    Have you seen dogs learn from other dogs? The case where I have witnesses involved 1 of my mother-in-law's 4 dogs. 3 of the dogs were lined in front of me learning to sit and shake. Dog 4 (older female) tries to force her way in from my right to get attention. I push her away and go back to the first dog on my left. He's pretty smart and is picking it up the fastest. He gets the sit and shake quickly and lots of pats and rubs. His daughter is next. Ditto. Dog 4 tries pushing in again. I push her away harder. Give her a firm "NO." Now I work on dog 3 (who is the dumbest dog I've ever seen), but he's slowly getting it. I can see that Dog 4 is now standing, watching, studying why and when the other dogs are getting my attention. So now I go down the line: Dog 1--sit, shake. Dog 2--sit, shake. Dog 3--sit, shake (wrong paw, but OK). I turn to Dog 4, she sits and lifts her right paw. No direct instruction. 7 years later she still remembers her commands. (Dog 4 is very smart, cunning, and ruthless and would not trust her around a child. Frankly I think she thinks she has me trained to pat her when she lifts her paw. ;)

  • @Sosha666

    Getting the scary thing to give treats, needs the cooperation of randoms - but yes definitely - clubs can be good for this. Re anxiety, I’d add a don’t make a big deal out it, owners seem to be really good at reinforcing it. The “dislike” for the last method, would be as you said , it needs to be done right and if it goes sideways, you are worse off. More people will do it wrong than right.
    You’ve a dog that chooses avoidance . someone tries a less careful / thought out/ pull in and flight becomes fight. The would be hero backs off quick. The lesson for the day becomes attack the scary thing and it goes away.

Sometimes if I throw a treat pass her nose to another direction it works and I can get her move, but often I end up lifting her up in my arms to get by them. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

    I don't believe allowing to get food from strangers is a good thing in any context. As much as I respect Joel as a pro, can't accept this method. There are dog haters who would intentionally feed a dog something poisonous. There are people who can try to steal a dog. There are stupid "kind hearted" people who would unknowingly give a dog something unhealthy or dangerous. Etc. Strangers are strangers.
    For using a similar food related approach I would introduce the person first, give him the treat, encourage the dog to accept the treat from that specific person.
    A dog must not accept anything edible from ANY source except his owner or people specifically invited to the "inner circle".
    So, there are the other described methods available.

    I am confused about my dog’s reactivity. Sorry for the huge text, haha. She is a 6 month old working line GSD. I got her at 4 months old. Overall she doesn’t seem to get scared of things, vacuum, things dropping, etc. don’t scare her and she doesn’t bark either at them. However if she hears noises she doesn’t expect from a different house level she’ll start barking. That isn’t really my issue but thought I’d mention. My issue is that if she sees a human or dog, she’ll start barking like crazy. Doesn’t really pull, just wants to stay in place (so I have to pull her away, but she doesn’t really pull towards the person/dog. Maybe a little). However, with humans, once she is close to a stranger, she turns into a wiggly cuddle worm. Zero fear, just wants to get pet and jump on them and roll on the floor. So why the scary barking two seconds earlier? She refuses treats if we are anywhere near something interesting, and even if far away she is more interested in watching the area than treats, even when hungry. With dogs, from 30ft away she’ll bark. She came in contact once recently with a dog up close and at first she stretched her nose as much as she could to sniff, then started barking at the dog who didn’t do anything. For the dogs, I do think there is some fear, but for humans it doesn’t make sense that she would find them scary at 5ft away but loves them at 1ft. Later I saw her scary bark from afar towards the ball she loves to play with, then go running to go get it to play. After that I wondered if she is “scary barking” for things she actually wants, not because she’s unhappy/scared? There was also once when a couple walked by us and she was “scary barking”, and as soon as they passed us, she wanted to go with them (quietly). Desensitization has been helping a bit, but very very slowly, treats from us doesn’t seem to do much if anything for this, treats from others I haven’t tried, but as soon as they are close she wants to play with them anyways, and pull-in doesn’t make sense for her because she will come, she never tries to run away from people. The thing that seems to work the best is desensitization from afar, or walking more closely with a yummy treat to distract her, but it is very slow and there are always people who end up getting close and setting her off, especially if they stare at her. I took her into a store that allows pets and she was interested in sniffing everything. We crossed a lady and she just sniffed her purse lol, we crossed a few people with zero reactivity until one employee was staring at her, she barked loudly a few times as we walked away and was fine after again. Any advice?

      His old videos have good info on this. I watched a lot over a year ago. Mostly his first method, exposure ... but from a distance where you dog isn't reacting. Watch how Joel stands and stays calm. He does add treats after the dog is calm. I did it with my fearful dog and now she sees another dog and looks to me and waits for a treat. It works with skateboarders and bicycles and all kinds of scary stuff!

    Is it possible for another dog to be able to help? The right dog though. I helped a friend's rescue get over her fear of men with treats and my two very well socialized dogs. She wasn't having much luck on her own, but we did a few walks together just to start her before having her go solo in public situations. Seemed to move the ball forward well.

      Friend parks car. You approach with dog. Friend throws juicy 🍗. Dog comes closer & eventually sniffs car. More 🍗! Dog touches car. More 🍗! X sessions of this later, car engine is running...repeat above. Eventually car is in parking lot, running. Friend drives slowly forward & you follow car (at X distance) with dog (so it appears car is moving away from dog). Car stops. Dog approaches. More 🍗! Etc. etc.

    If the scary stimulus is a sound, how do you do treats from the scary stimulus? For example, my miniature schnauzer gets scared of sudden loud sounds. Like a loud car engine, or someone hammering, or a nail gun. Stuff like that that he can hear from far away and never see the stimulous.
    Only thing I could remotely think of is find someone with a loud car and throw some treats from the window, lol. Unfortunately when my dog hears this, he shuts down and won't even take hot dogs. Or somehow hook up a Furbo or electric treat tosser to throw while the loud sound is playing on the TV.
    Any ideas?

    Hello...I have a dog that is very dog reactive and we went to the beach today and got into fights with 3 other dogs. He's a 4 year old 20 pound non-neutured Havanese. Today, during one of the episodes, I put him on his side, but when I looked it up online, there was an overwhelming amount of articles saying this is not what you should do in this situation. Is this ever okay to do? Does it make it more difficult long term or when I'm not there? I know he doesn't get around dogs much and most of the dogs where I live are feral. He's come a long way in the last 18 months though because he used to not be able to walk by cats or dogs without freaking out. Now I can take him past dogs and as long as we he's not next to them, he doesn't go crazy. I have also started taking him through the dog kennel a couple of times a week. Any advice would be great.

      I realised this. We see a dog approaching, she stares. I say calm calm and keep walking. Loose leash unless she jumps . I keep walking. If she is calm I say bravo calm and treat. But, saying this, my dog is a BC Croatian shepherd mix. She needs to be walking at least 2,3 km to be mentally able to grasp this. So I walk. She is crazy for the first 2 km, I keep walking no treats or reactions. After 3 km I know she is mentally exhausted enough to walk past dogs calmly with the bravo calm. It takes us 7 km around the busy city where we can't avoid dogs. We take a day off and then repeat. It works well. You need to find how much exercise your dog needs prior to being able to grasp the teaching. I am a preschool teacher, trust me I know what I'm talking about:)

      Sounded like she got frustrated with the situation and blamed the dog instead of herself for putting the dog in a situation it couldn’t handle. Lots of dog owners take their frustrations for a dog misbehaving out on the animal when they should only be mad at themselves.

      Like most dogs that have issues, it all seems to boil down to the same things. Lack of constant and consistent socialising, training, physical and mental stimulation. Owners not researching and getting themselves the wrong breed. As was likely the issue with her dog. Fixable most likely, if she cared to put in the effort.
      I may be unpopular here, but as far as the way she put the dog down, I have no issue with that. I’m a farmer from Australia, and have put many animals down that way. Wether stock or pets. I find it quick and instant, if you know what you’re doing. Distract with food and a well placed shot is no where near as stressful as a visit to the vet for animals that seldom visit one, IMO.

      Be more specific because lots of these powerful breeds you named are quite different in their tendencies . For any breed especially LGD consistency and patience with calm confident energy wins trust and respect. You better be the leader with these types of dogs. I would add to the other replies advice using spacial pressure to move the dog out of your way in the house limiting rooms and furniture helps clarify whose in charge.

    #1 rule NEVER EVER let strangers, strangers that that person who doesn't know that person, feed your dog. that person could've put poison in that chunk of meat, that person could easily kill your dog by knifing it, and third that person could easily dognap your dog. only let people who knows that person who's by your car and who knows the dog feed the dog. DONT LET STRANGERS FEED YOUR DOG. DONT EVEN LET THEM BY YOUR CAR. so this video its not a really good example of how to train your dog to get over his or her fear of things. this is just my opinion. but take it like it is.

    What's so difficult about the "treats from [stranger]" is that the "stranger" can conduct negative actions that impact the experience. The "stranger" might: move fast, reach out to pet the dog when they take a treat, try to hand feed the dog, stare them in the eye, yell or laugh loudly, speak baby talk to the dog. That all needs to be controlled as well. Great method. Joel knows exactly what he's talking about.
