So sensible. Thank you
Glad you think so!
My dachshund is so reactive we can’t meet other dogs even though I’ve been working with a trainer for the past 2 years.
Do you know "Calming signals" by Turid Rugaas? Her dog went from aggressive to being a trainer for agressive dogs by signalling them to be calm
@@alexandraturnwald2286 Doesn't that imply that any dog (or person) who is anxious will calm down just by your giving them "calming" signals? Look at how one person may use words and body language to calm another down, by gently prompting and calmly reacting to their anxiety? My senior training dog would do that with hundreds of scared or aggressive dogs. Not with some static "signals", but by the total interchange between them. And, virtually any simple "signal" can have any of several quite different meanings, so using some static chart is sure to be wrong much of the time.
@@gerryglauser2394 what I mean is that some dogs are aggressive because they are frightened and cannot read the other dogs signals
I have several chesapeakes and an almost miniature wirehaired dachshound with type 1 Diabetes - if he has a glucose problem he is able to lash out out of fear and feeling unwell, even though the much bigger chesapeakes have a very, very clear body language. If I don't intervene, the little gremlin could get himself in some serious trouble
I'm sorry to hear that. It doesn't seem like this trainer is very good. If your dog isn't dangerous (if they have never harmed another dog) then you should be able to resolve their dog-dog reactivity in a few weeks, or a few months at most, assuming you're willing to do the work. You should join the Top Dog Academy and look at our new Dog-Dog Reactivity Training Plan. We lay it all out super clearly.
