You have worked with dogs for 12 years and never learned to use a slip correctly. Sad

Thank you very much for this video. I’ve just adopted a flat coat retriever being transported here Saturday. The foster says he’s this breed though their website says mixed breed. He’s 4 and they say 45 lbs so seems smaller than a full breed. But the videos they’ve sent, he looks & seems to act just like one. He was boarded with a dozen other foster dogs and don’t think he’s received much training, so wish me luck! He’s coming from Texas to Oregon. 🐶❤️

Thank you. Please let me know if you’re still planning to visit the San Diego area, and if you would have time to help me work with my (now) fearful, reactive dog.

Thank you.

OK, thank you I think that’s about 30 or 32 feet and they’re out of it on Amazon

What a thin, beautiful long line what length is it and what brand?

Is that dog at all aggressive or fearful, or does he have more interest in other animals than he does in recall to his family? He’s doing well. I couldn’t drop the leash like that.

Love the use of non contingent reinforcement

You’re such a kind person. ✨

From the U.S. Love your philosophy for training humans and their dogs. Do you offer long distance training? If so what would that look like? Thank you.

1:16 My take on this is that we don’t have control over the environment in a public space. How are we supposed to train our dogs to ignore other dogs if there are no other, strange (unknown) dogs in the environment? I want to train my dog (GSD) to ignore the other dogs (and do it without aversive methods). Your videos have been helpful. I’m still afraid to take her back to public spaces, because she has been breed blamed, despite not biting back (she’s been attacked by 3 small dogs, and one dog her size who punctured her nose and ears). Thank you for your videos.

Thanks, that was a really helpful breakdown. I purchased your 'Triangle of Trust ' package about a month ago. It has been a HUGE help with my own reactive dog.

Just covered this session on your programme and found it very useful. I need to see what you do under suboptimal conditions because that's what I need the majority of help with. Thanks as always, John.

Can you tell me how to do this with a tiny dog? I have a 5lb Yorkie. I usually do a treat on the ground but didn't seem terribly effective because it bounces away and she has to go get it so it takes her focus off me

This was the greatest I’ve ever seen and I have a question. Will you keep working with this dog so we can see that this method works I don’t like it when people show things and then they don’t bring that back ever again even if it takes a year we’d like to see that this does work thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you!

My pup will do just about anything for a treat. Except ignoring another dog in passing ofc. But he will do the most energetic sit for a crappy kibble if offered by a stranger. I am glad he’s so motivated. It’s made things so much easier. First time dog owner, not sure how I’d do with a more challenging dog in the food department.

Thank you so much for being open and sharing your journey with us.

Is there any chance that you’ll return to San Diego? I’m really struggling with my 3 year old, sensitive, smart GSD, and looking for a positive trainer to help us. Thank you for this video.

I used to think the cesar milan way was how it was supposed to be. I never owned a dog, just cats. I never liked dogs much, and felt they need a stern hand, or they'd be dangerous. And I thought the balanced approach made sense. All until I got our own pup. He's 21 months at this point, and there's just no way I'd use any aversives on him. To boot, the breed description says it needs a soft hand, so even if I insisted on that type of training, it wasn't the breed for us anyways. He has responded very well to positive reinforcement training. He's almost done with adolescence. Just the last shennanigans period now before he's officially adult. (He's a japanese spitz.) He has days where he's borderline perfect at this point. Days he doesn't pull, walks heel past other dogs (we made the mistake of thinking he had to greet every dog when he was young). He spent hours in the garden today with hardly a bark, despite several times running to the hedge to check out who was walking past. I'm so proud of him. I never thought I'd ever train a dog, but here we are. I'm not sure why I ever thought aversive training made any sense. He's so happy and full of life, and quite mischievous at times, but he'll be one heck of a good dog as an adult. Such good manners and a sweet nature. The only bad thing about him is him insisting on a 6 am wake up time. Like dude, 8 would be good k thanks.

Brilliant video, what level of treat was he being rewarded with? Shop brought training treats or something a bit higher up the scale?

Beautiful to watch. Perfect timing. Do all dobermans have a love heart patch on their bum?! Mine does!

Nice job. Do you have any recommendations for a dog who won’t take treats outside, where there are too many things to see? This was the case before she became dog reactive, and I tried to trade treats for her 🎾.

Do you have any videos up on overstimulated over aroused hyper dogs

Hello and thank you very much for getting back at this time. I don’t have money to pay for a course. I just had that question and wondered what to do when the distraction was more rewarding than even even a piece of steak.

I love this and I have done this method but sometimes the drive wanting to be with other dogs or people is stronger than the food that we’re giving them so what do you suggest?

Great Job!!

when/why do you sometimes give the treat directly to the pups mouth vs placing it in the ground for them?

Lovely 🐶🥰

I'm learning so much from your course, and it's working so fast for our new adopted shelter 8 month old with dog reactivity on leash. I'm having fun seeing him develop skills to 'triggers' and I can be essentially 'hands off!'. It would be so easy to get frustrated with this exercise if a 'balanced' method was being used (which unfortunately I once believed in). Here the human learns to remain CALM and patient/respectful to dog. The human doesn't have to enage physically or verbally to force LEARNING (i.e. applying corrections over and over and over to obtain compliance...all that crazy unhealthy BS). The dog isn't PURPOSELY ignoring the human, it's processing everything!

Howdy from Texas! I just adopted a 6 year old rescue mini poodle. (❤ @ poodles) She needs a lot of training. Just happened to come across this video. Thanks so much for posting this. Gives me hope 😂 I wish you continued success.

Yes! Stepped in these traps the first year, tried to have these sorts of conversations the second, now aware & avoiding as they are fruitless as I gain experience. Just love your clear explanation ❤

What a lovley dog and a great lesson

Oh that was beautiful to watch. Well done for those mind movements you gorgeous Setter.

2:38 Ugh, stop reinforcing bad behaviour. If that dog were a pitbull with biting issues, Corbyn could've been seriously injured or even killed!

Lovely! It's obvious how much work has gone into getting to this point! Thanks!

Thanks so much for introducing me to Gabor Mate. I feel more empowered about how to express how I work with misunderstood dogs and help them with their trauma too. After all, we want a healthy, happy connection ❤

You have a way with doggies.

This is where I want to be with mine. Just seeing animals (including on tv) gets her overexcited.

If I ever need a trainer, I'm coming to you.! Brilliant.

Am I too late for the reactivity (and, in my dog’s case, excitement around other dogs) video?

Thank you for feeding that troll. I’m more convinced than ever that positive conditioning is the best way to work with my Shepherd.

So nice video ❤

When I got my puppy home, in the first week, I wasn’t paying full attention for a minute, and when I looked under the sofa, he was about to bite down on a power cord. I yelled the most serious “NO!!” I ever did in my life, and he let it go and never showed interest in that again. I’ve told this story on a puppy forum as an example of one of the few times I’ve used what I felt was an aversive, and I got chewed out for it. And I always felt bad, but it was also an emergency, so I also felt I couldn’t do anything else. Obviously watching him and puppy proofing better was what I should have done, but alas I’m human. I’ve stuck to positive reinforcement to the best of my ability, but I did do this No thing. And now I feel “validated“. It wasn’t a training method, it was an emergency. It doesn’t somehow make me an ally of balanced training just cause that happened. Sometimes just having something defined for oneself really helps.

Fantastic ! keep up the great work And we “ do what’s necessary to avoid balanced trainers “

Oh my goodness. Come help my 4 year old Chiweenie wild man.

I had a similar encounter with my GSD who was 6 month old and reactive. We were at least 60m+ doing our thing and my dog was on the leash when two large malamutes came charging towards us from behind and we hadn't noticed. I shouted to the owner when the dogs were about 10 meters away and he was about 60meters away to get his dogs under control and to recall his dogs and he just told me to F off and said that's what dogs do. I said can you not see how reactive our dog is and I have asked you nicely to recall your dogs and you can't control them. I ended up having to leave the public field with my son because he refused to put his dogs on a leash. In my opinion, he was just abusive, he was being aggressive, unreasonable and ignorant to others.

Fabulous example!
