    As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home czcams.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide.

      There are just SO many terrible trainers. If you signal anger or even worse fear, and/or you respond to violence with violence you are signaling to the dog/whatever you're training that you have lost control. This will then immediately lead to more fear and confusion on their end, which is what nearly always leads to violence and other destructive behavior. Any trainer who doesn't understand this should go drive a taxi or something instead. If you're instead always calm, fair, patient, confident, systematic, in control and if possible a bit boring, you can teach a turtle to ride the bicycle if you want.

    Following tips from a dog trainer I have started threshold management with my 3 year old working cocker. She already knew sit and wait, so it was not that difficult to add the new context. She learned immediately what I was asking and now she expects to be told to sit and wait at every door. I mention this here because it has also helped with her resource guarding. She is generally calmer and looking to me for guidance instead of charging off whenever she feels like it. Every day brings more progress and consistency is vital.

    I can't explain how much I've fallen in love with this channel within the past week or so. It's informative without being condescending, helpful without being overwhelming and you can tell it comes from a man/team(?) That genuinely love their job and the animals that involves.
    I myself have been following your 'tune up' drill with our rescue dog for the last 4 days, and already he walks better on the leash and doesn't act as though I don't exist outside the home. Not perfect, as he is distracted easily by sounds and becomes anxious when he knows we're walking near a place he has met another dog before, but slowly the connection between me, his leader and he, my charge, is building up. Wouldn't have been possible without the guidance of Fenrir!

    So pleased to have found you..I have a 2 year old Border Collie who for the most part is a loving and loveable dog,gets plenty of exercise,but can have a mind of his own at times,to the point where he bares his teeth at me,growls.... He's good on the lead,and on offleash walks he is brilliant,nothing tempts him away from me,but if he doesn;t get what he wants he can be a big demon lol .I never back off from him,as he's very quick on the uptake and would realise that he could use his growls any time and make me back off.Although he can be a bit moody with me,we have a close bond ,never lets me out of his sight and is very protective.So where am I going wrong because deep down I feel Im failing HIM somehow.He's very loved,but I don't feel I mollycoddle him,and Im firm but fair with him,but at times I think,is it me that's causing this,am I inadvertently enabling the bad behaviour that he sometimes exhibits ? I love him and just want whats best for him,he came from a working sheep farm,and I know that BC's need a job to do,and that they're very energetic,he's my 3rd ,and the biggest challenge lol

    • @alxhiding
      @alxhiding Před 2 lety +1

      this will be a long post, but ill do it because defensive / aggressive biting is a serious issue.
      sounds like the dog lacks leadership and has taken the position himself. while you think you are firm, the way in which you are firm is most likely the culprit. this isnt him being protective, it's him taking control of the situation because you have not.
      I dare say... your dog isn't crate trained, it has access to both food and toys whenever it wants, and you probably aren't structuring it's obedience regularly in most of your interaction with it etc.
      i you know say you are firm, and im not saying this to give you a hard time or make you feel bad, but if you allow certain behaviours with a bold dog (which your dog clearly is), due to inexperience with such a dog or not being firm enough (not physical corrections, but dealing with him in general), they will become masters at manipulating their environment to their advantage.
      correcting him hard/harder is not the solution for this type of dog. the dog needs less correction and more *structure*. restricting it's freedom, food and play will teach it that you are the provider of all good things and that all those things go away if you decide it. there obviously needs to be consequences for undesirable behaviour (corrections), but if the dog doesn't fundamentally respect you, you are effectively yelling at a deaf man in correcting him.
      crate train him, start training him in functional obedience every day in short 5-15 minute sessions x 3 for his existential food that all comes from your hand. put his toys away, once he knows his commands, they only come out in conjunction with your interaction. the minute the dog loses interest, the toys go away. *he works for everything*. when he's finished, he goes back in the crate until you get home. he sleeps in the crate, not on the bed or wherever he wants. *you dictate every facet of the dogs life and show it with your actions that you are the leader* . once he shows you he can be responsible and respects you, you start loosening the restrictions and giving him increasing amounts of freedom. i.e letting him spend time on a place mat instead in the crate, letting him off the place mat, getting rid of the place mat altogether and using the place mat as his bed etc. he can work his way back to the bed when you are confident he would never put his teeth on a human being or dog.
      all walks become structured interactions that challenge him. you have to constantly move the goal posts forward for your dog. once all this is achieved, the problem will go away.
      now having said all that... now if it comes out ( he growls at you ), *this* is when you correct *FIRMLY* . remember - a correction must imply the dog avoiding an unpleasant consequence to make the behaviour go away. if a correction does not do this, it's not a correction, it's nagging. either it was not aversive enough, or the dog doesn't understand what it should do, therefore you must A: make sure it knows what to do and what it's being corrected for and B: make it painful enough to be clear to the dog that it should not take the stick regardless of whether there is a carrot available or not.
      what fenrir says in this video regarding correction level needs context, when he suggests their previous trainer is wrong for using a "10". in fact, the previous trainer is technically correct ***if*** you have the appropriate foundation in place. whether you read the scientific literature or take it from trainers *far* better than fenrir (no disrespect, i love the guy). if you are going to correct a dog in the right context, *never* make it a "2.1". thats how you teach a dog to accept higher and higher levels of aversion. all infractions must be corrected firmly and *consistently*. not just in frequency, but in intensity. in fact, the owner's here even eluded to the hard correction solving the issue but saying it caused others. its likely that their inconsistency caused the problem to worsen, and the lack of structure and leadership caused the other issues. in the case like this, where the dog has no structure, there is no point in correcting it sufficiently because the dog doesn't understand what it should and should not do, therefore, a "2.1" (guidance) is fine. essentially, the previous trainer gives the dog this structure and gets the desired result, then the owners get lazy and don't maintain anything, and probably correct it improperly... this is how you end up with this situation. rather than own up to it, they'd rather just lump it all on "that previous trainer". if i had a penny for every time i heard an incompetent owner act this way, and a trainer not call them up on it.. which is annoying because it just hurts the idea of aversive tools they often harp on about protecting.
      to be clear, and for example - if the dog isn't precise in some manoeuvre, then you would correct it at it's working level (a "2.1") for the small infraction. this is a level that is slightly aversive but not enough to make the dog disengage or give up. fundamentally this is *meant to avoid dissuading the dog* - exactly what you *DONT WANT* . this is for *teaching* a dog to *do* something *different*, not for stopping a behaviour.
      if I even saw the precursors to biting, my dog would get a swift 7~, and it would never happen again. why? because the *structured environment he operates in* . it makes the corrections very clear to the dog. the dog knows that it's working level (a "2") is pressure that can mean many things. in contrast, if it gets a 7, its clear to the dog it means "never do that again". now, that level might actually be a 4 or 5, and I'm 2-3 levels higher than necessary - this is okay. I rarely ever have to use this level, but when I do, I have no desire to find out that 4 or 5 is not enough. you should err on the side of too much than too little, because too much will mean you never have to do it again, too little causes more pressure to be required over time, and stress is accumulative.
      with the correct structure, corrections won't have fallout. don't yell or gesture or get mad. just correct and move on.
      anyhow, long post, again, hope it helps. I have BC's myself so can very much relate as I've gone through it first hand.

    SO HELPFUL!!
    My dog resource guards whatever is in his mouth. It doesn't matter what it is, as soon as he's got it, he guards it and we can't "force" it out of his mouth. He knows how to "swap" it for a treat...and it has been working really well. Is there anyway to get it to a point where he can allow us to take it from his mouth without biting us?
    We do the "wait" and "get it" with treats....it was a way to teach a bit of self-control with his favourite food...and he does amazingly well in training conditions.
    The other thing is that he SOMETIMES bites at us when we fiddle with his collar (he lets us pop his leash on and off normally) for a long time...like trying to resize his collar. We use a collar that has a belt-buckle type attachment rather than a click in. He also needs food distraction to groom....otherwise he bites at us.
    Basically, he seems to use his mouth when he is not happy with what's happening. Currently trying to desensitise, but we seem to be stuck at this level - needing to distract with food.

If the dog gets something high value to him is the problem.

    I understand this whole method and cultivating that relationship that everything comes from the owner. Completely agree and obviously rome wasnt built in a day. But ultimately the dog isnt guarding that item in the video. Be interesting to hear a follow up story or if any other methods are used because theyll get home and he'll guard something and leave it wont work. What happens when she tries to sit on the sofa again. An off command maybe. But in that state of heightened guarding its difficult to get dogs to listen

I like the emphasis on positive and not admonishment or punishment. My one complaint about you is how many times you repeat yourself. It is over whelming at times and I tend to fast forward to the next step, but this may mean I miss something important. if you could edit your videos a little more harshly, I for one, would appreciate it tremendously.

Otherwise, most people are too distracted to grasp the simplest of things.

    How would I approach this in the following situation. I have a 13 week Bedlington Whippet who is brilliant with everything. I only have him up on my knee to sleep when I want him up which he accepts but recently when I move or go to put him down he growls at me, and on one occasion he became a little bit more aggressive but didn't actually bite. I always tell him no and jab him and put him down but I obviously want to kurb this behaviour. It's my knee, my affection my sofa. Have you any suggestions pls? By the way your videos have been brilliant x

    please check if this dog is in pain, might be joint pain in hip, back ,knees. the fact it gets worse with age can indicate pain. mine started growling when in bed around 1 year old and turned out his hips were severely defective and causing alot of pain.

    I would love to see how you would manage a very good dog that runs away on occasion. She can be great for long periods and obviously knows the lands boundaries and to stay with eating distance but every so often she just ignores it and goes for a while.
    I don't want to have her constantly chained but for her own security I can't leave her free if she keeps this up.

    How do you keep a dog from growling/showing teeth/biting at you while they're sleeping in your bed? Our dog is a year old half Hound/Beagle named Charlie. He's a little bit hyper/overly aggressive with our 6 year old son but nothing too crazy. He's a good listener, Taught him a ton of tricks but he's very aggressive when laying down/sleeping if you try and move him. What do we do?

    Thank you, your videos are really encouraging. Last night our 10 month old rescue dog (beagle/english bulldog mix) nipped our 5 year olds nose/face. She has not showed aggression or anything in the 5 weeks we've had her... The kids have been "annoying" around her and she hasn't seemed to mind. She is dog reactive though. Last night, she was laying on the floor in her bedroom with a rawhide, daughter leaned over the side of her bed in the dark, and the dog nipped. Not sure what happened. We are so worried now about her doing it again, and doing it worse. She is able to do this drill. I wish we could have you come do a 1:1 training session!

    We have a puppy we recently starting caring for (not our's, a foster), who came from a bad situation. They were housed outside and behind bars, allegedly. Mom and dad were bred for fighting (they have been rescued), but this one puppy out of the whole litter bites my husband and I when we put them in the kennel. He will be neutered soon, but he does resource guard with food and water from the other puppies. Additionally, he will get upset and "chase/bite" the other puppies fairly aggressively when they don't do what he wants, so we are kenneling him separately. He is about 10 weeks, I THINK. I've ordered a bite-proof glove as two of the bites on both of us have drawn blood.
    Do you believe this type of training will be effective on a younger dog? We want to give him the best shot in life by implementing training early for any potential adopters (it's possible this is just a puppy thing and will fizzle out, but it never hurts to get a little structure going). Thank you!

  • @amyelizabeth1929

    This is really interesting!! My dog has shown signs of resource guarding but for things she’s not suppose to have e.g socks, tissues, kids toys so I wonder how the training would differ because telling the dog to wait and then ok is fine when it’s things they’re allowed to have but what about things they’re not… maybe I’m over complicating it 😂

    • @SisyphusDungball
      @SisyphusDungball Před rokem +1

      I don't think you're over complicating it, it is different than just giving them back the thing they were guarding. I'm not a professional, it would be interesting to hear what Will has to say about this.
      I have trained my own dogs and dogs of friends. I could imagine initially doing the space claiming technique from this video but then swapping out what you've reclaimed for something the dog wants and can have. This being the dog learning that you claiming things isn't a negative thing. To avoid the dog interpreting guarding things as a way to get something, perhaps quickly ween off giving something in return for what you reclaimed and separately give things when the dog listens to the wait, OK, leave it.

    • @simonesnyder6650
      @simonesnyder6650 Před rokem

      you need to practice with the things she can have, then when its something she can not have you simply take possession and give her a treat. You need to set up training not do it on the fly.

    • @wingabouts
      @wingabouts Před rokem +1

      I used "leave it" and followed immediately by grabbing a lasar pointer off a nearby shelf. If he obeyed, we would play with the pointer. He now knows he's not supposed to have something and when I walk in the room, he drops whatever it is and runs to the shelf, waiting for me to grab the lasar. Sometimes I think it has become his way of asking for playtime. I've stopped using the pointer for about 6 months now, but he still does the sitting and staring at the shelf thing. Overall, I think "leave it" is a critical, even life-saving command that we must absolutely teach our pets. So many dangerous things can be encountered on a walk, but this one command keeps them safe.

    That cocker looked a little on the small side, so I'm assuming it was just a puppy?
    One of my friends had to have their bassett hound x poodle put down about 3 years ago because it had bitten him twice and was a case of "what if it was one of the kids". Their female Labrador wouldn't hurt a fly and is incredibly sweet. He now has a 2 year old male border collie which has become "aggressive" but hasn't harmed anyone. Sometimes he's perfectly fine with people and other times he growls which I've experienced first hand. I've even been alone with him for a couple of hours and had no problems with me.
    He almost took the vets hand off at one point, so now, not even a groomer will touch him.
    I need to get my pup some training for pulling (not as bad as it was), jumping at people for attention and reactivity towards other dogs. She definitely doesn't take after her dad with the "aggression".

      My whippet is getting older now but she excelled at it. Seeing her control her prey drive whilst waiting to be released is like watching a spring getting wound tighter and tighter.
      Unfortunately I can't let her do it now as she's an old lady and can't let her sprint so explosively or she gets stiff by morning.
      And catches like a pro - as long as it's not too heavy a toy.

    My cocker/lab has gotten worse resource guarding since spaying, and now growls and nips when trying to take off her harness particularly if she’s tired. Resource guarding around food or toys is one thing as it’s a thing to reward the ‘wait’, but something physically attached to her I’m not sure how to make her earn it in the same way or its equivalent..

    My little dachshund pup is a stubborn little guy. He is very sweet, but when he gets worked up playing, he will bite my hands and chase after them too. He does break away from me once I introduce one of his toys instead of my hand, but I want to break him of biting people at all. (outside of playful little nips.) These videos are very useful. My only gripe is that people like this make it look so easy. (which is why I suppose they are the pros). I do one of those corrective little hisses you do in the video and my dog is looking at me like 'I'm the wrong one'. xD
