Dog Behavior Q&A #73

what’s up everyone that’s jeremy majors
here with matrix academy dog training
and we are live facebook youtube and
this is a show where we answer your dog
behavior questions and you feel free to
ask as many questions as you like we are
live at 6 p.m. Central Standard Time and
we’re probably done no more than 7 p.m.
okay so if you’re watching it after that
I won’t be able to answer your question
live
you just have to jot down the question
and then or write your question type the
question and then I’ll be able to
respond to it later
but if you’re watching between the time
of 6 & 7 I can answer your question
right now so I hope everyone is doing
well on this Thursday and I hope your
Friday treats you well and if you have a
drink
Cheers alright let’s go to the first
question ok first question is from Jay
Murray hold on I gotta get close I have
an almost two year old Bernie’s Aussie
mix she is well socialized and has
always done well going places to the vet
school stores etc she’s a good canine
citizen a canine good citizen and in her
past her therapy dog tests out of the
blue a couple months ago she freaked out
at the vet and went into full flight
mode trying to escape
panting and shaking she’s also shown
this behavior at school we think it’s
the bails though she’s never reacted
them to them before at this point at the
vet and at the school she refuses to get
out of the car once inside she is never
aggressive and I can get her to follow
commands but can I
get her to chill we recorded the school
bells to work on at home and have
attempted to get her to associate them
with something positive like her
favorite treat but she goes in the
flight mode after one attempt at that at
that point I can get her to follow basic
commands but she doesn’t respond to
anyone else and she tries to escape or
curls in the corner there was no trauma
it’s like a switch flipped and I’m not
sure how far to push her when working on
these fear responses thanks for your
help well that’s a great question
my question to you would be did she
recently get spayed have an almost two
year old Bernese Aussie mix so maybe not
maybe that’s a little old for that but
maybe maybe not we’ll see as far as
getting her to respond to first of all
with the vet I always tell people you
want to get the dog to become very
comfortable with being touched poked
prodded you know obviously not with
anything sharp but just kind of examined
with her body being able to hold are you
doing Elias being able to hold the
collar and keeping the dog in a stand or
just keeping the dog steel but more
importantly you want to be able to
practice getting your dog comfortable
for vent examination you know so touch
her everywhere anything you think the
dog will be able to do sort of like the
canine good citizen but a little bit
more intimate practice that practice
will help with that as far as getting
the dog to to not hide in corners when
doorbell rings or when the school bell
rings or something like that she’s just
gonna have to become more familiar with
it so
don’t think what you’re doing at home is
bad but I’d put her bed in the middle of
the room and make make her stay on the
bed while you’re doing it right and make
sure she makes sure she has some
exercise and whatnot but keep her on
leash so she can’t get off the bed or if
she does we can just bring her back on
to the bed but that’s what I would do to
desensitize that and that may take a
while but sometimes certain fears come
after spaying or neutering my female
definitely was very fearless before she
got spayed and afterwards that just
something changed and she became a
little weird so so yeah yes I did pay my
heat bill but I like this hat that’s why
I’m wearing it so yeah that’s what I
would do definitely get her used to
being touched again you know massaging
her everywhere for that vet it’s only
beneficial for the bed all right thank
you for your question okay hold on a
second I got to get the questions here
live while I’m doing that I can answer
another question though okay our
one-year-old Cattle Dog I’m boarding has
leash aggression and where’s the prom
recently on a pack walk she started
amping up an owner corrected and pulled
to the side the dog kept focused and
redirected on the owner biting and
ripping it’s paint his pants my question
is usually my correction sideways
towards my thigh but if she’s
redirecting do I correct away from me
okay great question Thank You Jackie I
appreciate that so great question doll
redirects and you and basically you want
to figure out how to get that dog not to
redirect with you but you still may have
to correct
the dog when he when she decides to go
into her her lunging or adrenalized
state let’s just say that so one of the
things you want to focus on when you’re
working with a dog that redirects is
making sure that you are making sure
that you are happy make sure you have
the walk separate from any sort of
stimuli whatever the whatever makes the
dog nervous make sure that walk is
perfect okay and then look for little
things to correct at a higher level so
that the dog starts to know who you are
also start correcting with your voice as
well because the dog you’re going to
have to in at the end of the day you’re
going to have to be able to reach that
dog on a deeper level than just what a
correction does a correction is just a
superficial way to stop a behavior but
more so than that what you want to do is
to be able to to establish a certain
amount of trust and when you say
something the dog take your word for it
and in order to do that you have to make
sure you clean up other areas other than
the walk so I wouldn’t necessarily focus
on the dog and the walking amongst other
dogs right now you may have to make sure
the dog can listen to you in a lot of
other areas before you you go back into
that area that is very intense because
at this point she’s not taking your word
for it or your correction at this point
she keep the dog it’s over stimulated
decides to redirect on you that means
there’s no connection between you and
the dog and so you have to start getting
that sort of connection you need to get
her to think twice about it in other
areas you know make sure the dog downs
very well make sure the dog walks very
well on leash despite squirrels right so
that’s what I’m talking about if the dog
in any other way walks anything other
than perfect when you’re not within the
environment of the stimuli or whatever
other dogs
then that’s your opportunity to get that
walk very perfect and to get that dog
very accustomed to you so pretend that
the squirrels are like the dogs that she
perceives in your in your attempt to
correct the dog so be as you know
proactive and diligent and tough on the
dog when the dog sees a squirrel the
same way you would be if the dog seen
the dog obviously the dog will react
different but the dog will start to not
for one not be able to associate the
difference between how tints are how
tough you can be amongst the different
stimuli because my whole thing is you
know if we walk perfect no matter what
there is we don’t just walk good when
there’s a dog or a human we walk good
all the time and you have to walk this
way all the time until you knock off
until that that goes away when you when
you see other dogs and so very important
because I don’t want you getting bitten
but like I said look for other
opportunities to get the dog to take
your word for it at a higher level even
though it’s a lower sort of stimuli for
the dog right I hope that makes sense
okay got some questions like my female
dog is where’d they go a female dog is
very submissive to human and me
primarily but she’s super weird and puts
her head over your neck or she will
literally put her head in our large
dog’s mouth what’s up with that okay so
over the neck makes doesn’t make much
sense as in the mouth like a dog but
they but
had in another dog’s mouth that is a
sign of submission but over the head
usually in my opinion means the opposite
because normally when dogs want to try
and be dominant over dogs they try to go
over the top and submission submission
is below so the over the neck puts her
head over your neck yeah I’m trying to
picture what that what that looks like
but any behavior that is obsessive you
know I would encourage to block I would
encourage to you know redirect if she’s
being obsessive about it she could be
obsessive submissive there’s a lot of
dogs that are so insecure they kind of
obsessively do licking and you know all
that good stuff but wolves do the same
it’s kind of cool to see but um but yeah
that that that’s kind of funny I wonder
if you got a video I would like to see a
video of it alright next question comes
from Joe mm-hmm my boy has come a long
way in being friendly and not as fearful
of people but today he had a sit back we
were at the car dealership and while he
was great with everyone there a man was
standing up and had a face and and had
faced and away to walk okay
I put my boy in a sit and but he got up
pulled me over to sniff the guy which
startled the guy as the guy then turned
around it startled my boy and he got
nervous and started to huff and then
barked at the guy then he walked back
over to the guy and he pet him but then
my boy turned up and barked at him again
I am almost what seemed to nip at him at
that point my dog started to bark each
time another man walked
to the waiting area I heard you
shouldn’t pull your dog away from the
person because it teaches the dog to be
fearful of the person but I don’t want
him lunging barking nipping at people –
I’ve been told to help build his
confidence but I don’t know how to go
about doing this when he reacts this way
man I’m glad you reached out
so whoever told you to pull your dog
away stop listening to that person when
it comes to advice about your dog you
definitely need to pull your dog away
because what your dog needs is space
there your dog needs to see you being in
control of the situation the situation
in which your dog thinks is out of
control so if he’s huffing barking and
all that good stuff he’s trying to
manipulate the situation based on his
insecurities and as the dog’s owner
parent whatever you want to call it you
have to tell him right from wrong and so
keep him on leash and keep them just
hanging out don’t let people come up to
him don’t let people don’t let him come
up to people just chill okay
and let him see for himself with space
and distance that people are okay but
also that you have him under control as
well so you have to have him under
control
and the situation under control which
means not allowing people to pet him
come up and pet him and not allow him
not allowing him to go up to people
doesn’t need that yet maybe in 3 or 4
months when he’s you can tell that he’s
clearly comfortable no huffing ever you
know no nervousness no not a lot of
movement just a just a lot of calm
energy a lot of indifference so that’s
what you want to look forward when look
for when you want to take the next step
but if the dog is energetic at all hyper
at all nervous at all you never want to
move forward in that mind
say okay so keep your distance for now
that’s what you do to help a dog learn
that people are okay showing him that
you can actually control them and the
situation can actually be controlled
that’s when safety and Trust start start
to build between you and the dog all
right thanks for your question that’s a
that’s a good that’s a good question
feel free to ask another one too
you guys aren’t limited to just one
question okay all right
hey Jam a question for you regarding my
she recently been very aggressive toward
our other dog it’s jealousy related
she’s jealous of everything one of us
petting the other dog or over a resource
slash food she just she doesn’t just
snap our grout she full-on Cujo she
draws blood you know she’s typically
fearful of things so this behavior is
troubling alright so what I would I
would do is make sure that you refrain
from petting Maya for a while and have
her a collar on and then when you pet
that one dog you put her in place and
she is to watch the other dog being pet
you always want to make sure to make
sure that that’s a rule of yours you can
be able to pet one dog at a time if you
have two dogs that are jealous but if
she’s deciding to do that again here’s
the other thing your dogs should not
think it’s okay to fight in the home
that’s like having children fighting
them we obviously want to teach our kids
that that’s not cool
same thing with dogs they can learn that
that behavior is not acceptable but you
may have to correct the dog at a high
level so don’t be afraid to put that
collar up I mean put the collar on the
dog and turn it up high and if she if
you even growls you know I would give
her a tough correction so that you guys
don’t break up dog fights and end up
getting hurt okay so nip it in the bud
don’t worry about going low level and
all that stuff if you want to get it
done go higher than normal I mean way
higher than normal don’t be afraid to
oh hi and teach Maya that that behavior
is not acceptable whatsoever okay put
her in her place while you pet the dog I
do that all the time with my dogs they
don’t even come up to me anymore if I’m
petting one dog the other dogs like huh
he’s just gonna shoo me away you know so
if you have any more trouble with that
please call me let’s work this out you
know what I mean let me know
we can do it I really want to make sure
she acts okay cuz I know she can thanks
for your question Thank You Carol
I appreciate that okay my girl lab mix
almost two has resource starting issues
I think but she seems to tease the other
dog to get them to engage her let me ask
you this oh sorry I sent it soon she
absolutely loves other dogs but it
seriously looks like she’s walking I’m
gonna plug my phone in cuz it’s got low
battery okay but it seriously looks like
she’s walking around enticing them to
pay attention to her I picked up
everything and kept stuff up but and
kept stuff put up when Fosters are here
now but I would like to fix the issue so
what you’re gonna have to do is have an
immersive tool when she decides to get
into whatever behavior that you deem
unnecessary or wrong okay and you’re
gonna have to teach her exactly when it
happens that it’s not worth it to do and
so there are many tools that you can use
in order to get that but you’re gonna
have to be around when it happens so
that you can guide her and correct that
behavior so she doesn’t do it be careful
doing it with
that you she doesn’t know I would start
with dogs that she’s familiar with and I
would if you have in Foster’s coming in
a out of the house I kind of stay away
from that anyway because when you’re
bringing on bringing in Foster’s there’s
always new relationships that have to be
built between your dogs and the Fosters
and sometimes that can cause some
tension so until your dogs get used to
the current Fosters and it take a month
a month or so before you start
introducing those other things you know
what I mean because it’s it’s one or two
things as to why the dog does it rather
they so one is they could not have a
good relationship or two the dog just
thinks it’s okay to do it you know what
I mean and and in order to fix it like I
said you’ll just have to be there and
use a tool to help the dog take your
word for it or teach the dog that that
behavior is not okay all right I hope
that makes sense if it doesn’t explain
further explain or ask another question
so I can help you out all right Amy says
hey Jeremy did you ever get to bark and
brew if so seeing how busy it can be how
do you monitor how do you monitor your
dogs there if a bit of snarky dogs gets
to be too much do you simply push the
dogs away or walk between or how do you
handle that when it’s just your dog had
a couple of dogs there that seemed to
want to target my Rottweiler when there
he ignored them so far but we all we all
have limits and I don’t want him to get
too hit so far I’ve been trying to move
away with my body and calling them away
other ideas yeah that’s that’s pretty
much what I would do I would have
definitely in a dog park situation
grabbed other dogs you know shoot him
away you know I’m not too shy about you
know
confronting other dogs in the dog park
and if their owners have a problem
educating them because you know you know
I know you and you have much more dog
experience than the average dog owner so
you know I kind of just make sure my dog
is safe walking away is really good
calling the dog away but if a dog gets
obnoxious I’ll I’ll grab the dog and you
know
shoo the dog away it’s best I can you
know it’s tough
so in this a frustrating situation which
is why I don’t go at all but in the past
if I’ve been at the dog daycare or if I
was at a dog park or somewhere where
there’s a lot of strange dogs and
strange people yeah I would correct the
dog right there I would touch him you
know I yeah I’m not ashamed or shy to do
that because I want to keep my dog safe
you’re welcome Michelle that’s I’m glad
it makes sense sometimes I read people’s
question completely wrong all right if
you’re just joining us on YouTube feel
free to ask a question this is dog
behavior QA so if you have any questions
about your dog’s behavior and/or
training please feel free to type in
your question all right let’s see okay I
have a 7 year old female spayed that
goes psycho over nothing
she will come in from outside and just
go crazy growling and barking jumps on
my other dog my daughter
or myself she’s never bit or broke skin
but leads scratch marks all over us and
at times teeth marks I’ve tried so many
things to redirect her but the only
thing that calms her down is being put
in a crate for a while I do have a video
of her the way she barks growls at us
but she gets a lot worse than the videos
yeah go ahead and send me those videos
I’d love to see them
that’s kind of weird but I can see it
making sense that when they come in when
dogs will win and out of thresholds they
certainly can it certainly can cause a
certain level of adrenaline or
excitement that causes them to try and
control situations some dogs that’s how
dogs handle situations sometimes when
they get to a certain level of
adrenaline they tend to want to control
and so that’s my guess my best guess is
I think that that’s what your dog is
doing trying to control you guys in that
situation and and so what you can start
doing there’s a couple of ways you can
start doing that but making sure the dog
respects that when you open the door the
dog has to wait before coming in and out
of the door you know making sure the dog
actually respects you and then that will
bring that if the dog is very energetic
it’ll bring that energy down before the
dog comes into the house you can also go
outside try and leash the dog up and
then bring the dog in on leash and I
would just take it right to its crate or
just hang out on leash until the dog is
calm and then let the dog off leash I
would start with those all right and
make sure you send me that video try
those what I suggested there’s many
other ways that you can get that done
but try those try those kind of those
suggestions and then if that doesn’t
work you know and send me those videos
we can try something else but the dog
just has to be in my opinion calm down
in the midst of those thresholds okay
hope that makes sense thanks for your
question okay
next question is for Renee how do I get
my dog to stay in place do stand do
stand there on leash until he stays and
walk away and if he comes back do the
same thing till he stays once you have
gotten that
what do you call that when you ask him
to go their place and when they’re very
sassy send them to their place when
there is no respect and the kennel is a
safe area for a dog that being set being
said is place when sassy or I know that
is a calm area as well
not getting the respect down all right
so first of all yep if your dog is young
like I know your dog is stay with the
dog on the bed until the dog is
indifferent then you can maybe go away
right let the dog has become indifferent
not paying attention to you and not
being attentive to its surroundings
before you can walk away from the bed
okay so with the leash on walk the dog
to the bed and you can say place you can
see on your bed say go to your bed I
usually just say go to your bed and then
have your dog sit or down and then just
stay there until the dog like I said
settles completely down and then you can
maybe take another take a few steps away
or go sit on the couch and repeat that
if the dog decides to get up you have to
put him down but give him a correction
if he decides to give repeatedly get up
from that place all right one more
jumping on people and counter to and he
does not get any people food standing on
leash is isn’t stopping it the air can
is a joke to him run away play for him
and holding his paws tight to me walking
backwards doesn’t work and using my knee
it isn’t working and yeah he doesn’t
respect me yeah seems like he doesn’t
respect you at all that’s something that
you guys gonna have to work on I’ve
shown you a many techniques on how to
get that done okay there’s something
going on between you two I can’t figure
it out there’s something going on
between you two because clearly he has
the ability to do it either you’re
feeding him to him way too much because
he’s manipulating you
all right so he must be doing something
and you must be answering him because
he’s running the show right
whether it’s him whining whether it’s
him being demanding barking or whatever
he does not respect what you say so
you’re not being consistent with what I
have told you or with what you are
telling the dog because there’s a big
disconnect the dog shouldn’t be doing
all this stuff despite what we’ve
already worked on okay so and that again
is something that I can’t fix
I think you’re get it’s pretty clear
that you’re giving in to the dog
somewhere around the some substance in
some area because no dog is going to
just act crazy continually if you’re
doing certain things consistently or if
he is then he’s crazy
and you should put them down because
that that dog doesn’t seem to be healthy
but I know that that’s not the case so
there’s something missing because we
shouldn’t be going over the same issues
over and over and over and over again so
one of the things that I would do going
forward is evaluating how much time
you’re spending with him you could be to
spending too much time with the dog
because he’s also taking advantage of
the time all of that time to make you
become more inconsistent with him so
spend less time you already spend a lot
of time I already know that so put him
in this crate after you spend a good
amount of time and leave him there and
don’t answer him
start with that you know because the I I
just don’t have any more answers there’s
no way that I can continue to tell you
how to get respect and it doesn’t happen
the dogs taking advantage of you it’s
clear
all right next question
okay all right this question comes from
Lisa my dog is an 8 year old
pit that had MC cancer removed two years
ago now he just had a few tumors up here
and I feel like I don’t want to stress
the dog out but the dog is dog wreck of
on walks and the behavior is awful can I
make the behavior better or just accept
that he’s a jerk on walks with if we
meet other dogs that’s pretty tough you
know I would have to I would have to
physically see the dog in order to
evaluate if the dog had the ability to
actually learn without causing more
health issues to the dog you know what I
mean physically we what we don’t want to
do is push the dog to a point where you
know the dog’s health deteriorates
because of the training and because of
the pushing that we’d be doing so I’d
have to see the dog if the dog seems
like it can go on a nice walk then I
would start I can start doing that but
make the you know really keep keep your
distance between you and dogs like just
extend it so that the dog doesn’t get
into that high adrenaline state and so
the dog that you know can’t continue to
art or doesn’t have the potential to
hurt itself even more but make sure the
dog is you know able maybe rest the dog
up a little bit before you take the dog
out like that then I always have to
evaluate how much you know I usually
don’t even take dogs if they’re not you
know completely healthy
every now and then I’ll have to squeeze
in a situation where you know the dog
still has to learn despite being not 100
percent healthy so it’s gonna be tough
dogs a little older
as far as healing time goes and and
getting the dog to to get used to other
dogs on leash but make sure you’re
walking right anyway make sure that walk
is right that’s the first thing first
anyway is making sure you have a loose
leash heal with the dog in general and
then lay down and then maybe try some
other dogs after the health is cleared
and whatnot but make sure the walk is
right all right and if you you’re not
sure what I’m talking about as far as
the technique goes on the walk visit my
youtube channel
it’s majors Academy dog training it has
a how to walk video on there and so to
make sure that your that walk is right
but that’s the first thing if you want
to get a dog
that’s going to be ok on leash with
other things humans dogs whatever it is
dog has to be ok with you on these first
and adding structure to that can make
that happen alright thank you for your
question all right folks yeah those of
you who are watching feel free to ask
more than one question I did have a
topic of the day that I wanted to go
over and I forgot to type into the to
the question thing or to the title but
it is hold on I have to try and remember
it it wasn’t worked a recurring thing
that theme that I had going on with a
couple of dogs that I have recently
trained Oh
here’s the deal got it ok oh no let me
take a sip cheers guys by the way
okay so check this out
when you are with your dog and this this
is for everyone doesn’t matter but when
you were with your dog and you’re
spending time with your dog make sure
you are spending some time just chilling
just relaxing because I have experienced
a couple of dog owners lately that their
dogs aren’t able to to sort of be
independent of the owners attention and
the only way to combat that is to just
chill in certain areas where the dog
then becomes indifferent to your
attention so especially when you come
when it comes to being outside when you
spend time with your dog don’t let it
just be a reactive experience which
means let’s just play ball back and
forth back and forth back and forth back
and forth that although is exercised
physically that’s not going to get you
anywhere mentally so so what we like to
build in dogs when they come here is
making sure that they’re comfortable
being independent of the owner as well
don’t allow your dog’s pushy behavior to
play to be pet to be to go outside to do
any of that stuff
don’t let that necessarily get you get
the dog what it wants okay because
you’re just gonna build a dog who is a
reactive dog and you know like I said if
you have a dog that is reactive to
multiple different things that are
outside then you have to spend time with
the dog outside doing nothing and
correcting bad behavior long enough to
where the dog can become calm in that
environment without you
that’s that goal but the first step
would obviously to be calm with you but
you should be able to put your dog
outside and them not whine for your
attention that’s what I’m trying to say
you should be able to put your dog
outside and they can go relax and get
some Sun you know and not bark at the
neighbors then that bark at the other
dogs and all that but it in order in
order to get there you may have to use
you may have to use that outside time
with your dog in a constructive way
meaning giving the you know like I said
staying outside with the dog but also
taking you know taking the dog for a
walk around the perimeter but maybe
putting the dog in a down with duration
so that the dog can experience
everything under your control
that’s the deal the deal is can you put
your dog in it down and cars go by
children go by dogs go by whatever else
you see out there all those things that
may get him excited can your dog stay in
that down and not be tense and don’t
move up forward until the dog actually
kind of relaxes you know that’s that’s
the point where the dog is starting to
learn that calm behavior is achievable
in certain areas so that was kind of the
risk reoccurring theme I want again I
want want to be able to put my dogs
outside and not have to be out there
eventually that’s the goal but before
that you’ll have to be out there and
just chill not you know I know people
are busy and all that good stuff but
don’t be afraid to stay outside go
outside with your dog and not play fetch
you know what I mean
just relax with the dog let the dog
smell the smells enjoy the air and the
Sun and all that cool stuff so
what I have to say about that all right
we got a question uh my pup is a Boxer
mix he is a rescue in about four months
old he follows me everywhere when I go
to the bed room or bathroom I shut the
door and he scratches on it how shall I
handle this at this age you can correct
him for that you know you can correct
him for that he’s just being way too
clingy remember this though the dog gets
if the dot if that’s scratching barking
or whatever it is get some what he wants
in any other area that’s what he’s gonna
do we want to start building a dog that
assumes the calm behavior can get the
dog what it wants so you wanna you wanna
even in the crate you never want to let
that dog out while the dog is loud
scratchy or hyper if you can get
calmness before the dog comes out then
you can start building on that you know
there’s a lot of good behavior not just
learning how to not pee in the poop in
the house that the crate can achieve the
crate can be a great training tool
besides just learn teaching the dog to
pee and poop it can help in a safe way
help the dog get used to neighbors all
right strangers get used to other dogs
because the dog can actually physically
get there but kids so the crate can be
used for many different things but the
one of the more important things is
teaching the dog how to get what it
wants obviously it wants your attention
it wants to come out of the crate and so
teach the dog that in order to get that
that you’ll have to start being calm to
get it and that’ll also teach the dog to
use its brain become more independent of
you
and the dog won’t be so needy because if
you can continue on this path you know
the dog will start to act out in other
areas so you can correct the dog you
know open the door and say no you know
or get a squirt bottle or something that
you know will help the dog see that it
can’t do that and then close the door
right away that’s what I would do you
know something like that but the dog
that dog’s behavior does have to be
corrected with an O and the dog has to
stop it you know before you stop
correcting it right so if the dog goes
back into scratching then you have to do
it again all right so just correct the
behavior that you don’t like and see how
it works for you okay thank you for your
question feel free to ask another one
all right a German Shepherd is almost
two years old and we’ve had him almost a
year okay he’s very reactive and we’ve
been trying to get him to be more calm
we make him wait before he does anything
and it works but as soon as we say
release he gets all crazy again and I’m
wondering if we will ever settle down
it’s kind of what you just talked about
okay he’s very reactive what is he
reactive to if you can type that in
please
what is he reactive to
[Music]
all right I’m gonna ask her answer
another question while you’re typing
that okay I am working with a client
with a fearful slash nervous
two-year-old and he’s making great
progress at the prong and e-collar
and very dedicated owners his existing
he is existing around people and dogs
without reacting she took him into the
vet two times and he goes into red zone
when he when when the vet tech starts –
starts with the high-pitched voices and
baby talk how can I help her through
this I went with her once told the best
to be calm and not rushing and they
listened ten percent he was muzzle and
did okay but as soon as the girl reached
to give him the vaccine he started flip
out he did mean he did remain on the
table and ended it was a massage and I
ended up with a massage and didn’t let
him bolt off but very tech was but the
vet tech was fumbling nervous and loud
and didn’t give any vaccines any tips oh
yeah it kind of makes my blood boil
you’re gonna have to try and see if you
can get with the vet that actually
listens to you you know that
high-pitched baby voice if it actually
worked it wouldn’t get a reaction out of
the dog in the negative way so it
doesn’t work because too many people
with high pitch baby voices have
probably invaded his space to where it
has made this dog fearful so yeah like I
said best bet you can do is try and see
if you can get with some vet that I’ll
actually listen but one of the things so
I did I just tell dog I just tell that’s
not to talk to him don’t talk to him
just come in do your thing and and and
let’s go but one of the other things
that I do to prepare my dogs for vets
I’ve had success with it is holding the
dog not putting the dog on the table
but holding the dog on the ground
holding the head to a certain position
to where the butt is kind of forced to
stay down so kind of at that level the
nose is here
keep the head up like this okay if you
do that to any dog just lift up beyond
this collar take your hands like this so
the dogs heads this way you take the
hands underneath the collar put that
head up like this and hold the dog there
the dog’s butt will hit the ground okay
and obviously the dog has to trust you
in this situation it makes for an easier
situation but that’s what I do the
entire time that the dog is getting
anything done at the vet and I’ve had
great success with it but you can start
kind of practicing that in preparation
for it but bottom line dog has to trust
you dog has to be able to be a certain
level of obedience with you and the dog
shouldn’t be facing that at all
whatsoever the dog should be facing you
and everything sort of under York on
your terms and under your control
all right so I’ll talk through it with
the dog
I’ve even went as far as lifting the
back legs slightly off the ground so the
dog can’t turn around and then I would
just talk to the dog I would say no any
time the dog would start to look like
this and then when they when he came
down calm down I would gently say good
boy and then if they got nervous and
tense again I would say no you know and
then my last dog that was super super
crazy was this American Eskimo named
Buddy and we did exactly what I just
described I held one collar our the
leash and a very short leash next to his
collar and I held the other leash to
kind of lift up the back legs so the dog
couldn’t turn around it’s a smaller dog
but and I just talked
the dog through it saying no when he got
tense and saying good when he gave me
what I wanted which was relaxation and
they were able to what did they get done
they could get some difficult shit oh
they were able to draw blood and give
shots and all that good stuff so that
was all was very very impressed because
the front of the time prior to that dog
went nuts and the pants were also very
impressed so try those things you know I
definitely like I said help a bit don’t
do any of that crate that dumb stuff
don’t even you know something that just
yeah that irritates me so I feel your
pain I feel your pain okay
I was Kathy’s dog’s foster my boxers
follow me in whatever room I’m in and
those are always wanted to be in with
them so in turn he was always in the
room when I was my dogs do not scratch
at the door and either would don’t dozer
but they would lay calmly in the room I
was I was in it sorry Kathy hope you can
correct that yeah like I said you know I
sort of gear to point people in the
direction that your dog shouldn’t really
be following you everywhere especially
if you have insecure dogs that are
reactive to their environment you kind
of want to let them you know they don’t
have to do that it’s it’s endearing
whatever but you’re almost feeding into
their there holding them back from being
autonomous from you and I and I think a
certain level of autonomy is healthy
within any relationship so so there you
go
we’re going we’re going to take outside
he goes nuts and I don’t even have the
same thing just put my coat on
also my my any outside noises and when
we’re outside everything you
so gets wild when I try to brush him or
wipe his paws we work we’re working hard
with him but it seems to be taken
forever so Jennifer you know what you
have to do obviously maybe maybe you’re
doing this but you have to you have to
get the dog to not have the ability to
run from you okay when you’re doing the
brush and you’re wiping his paws and so
you want to just practice grabbing him
by the collar and doing those things and
when he the moment the moment he starts
to get squirmy used tell him to stay but
you can also fix all those things if you
even can’t even do that
you can also fix all those things on
leash getting him to stay while you
while you’re walking him all right so be
under the mindset that the dog is
following you you’re not following the
dog and you say stay for as long as you
want until the dog until you’re ready to
move forward so when I teach in the walk
I get the the owner and the dog to sit
and I want to watch how many times the
dog will actually try to move the owner
and you want to fix that right there
don’t allow your dog to dictate where
you go when you stop how many times you
stop and all that good stuff if your dog
has a problem with stay then I would
definitely definitely add a lot more
structure to the walk and the place
command and I would even do the place
command before when you when you are
getting your jacket on and getting the
leash on you have to
you should put be able to put them in
place get your jacket on get yourself
prepared get his collar walk over to him
put the collar on then we get ready to
go
then sit him at the door open the door
and just sit there until the dog
actually gives you eye contact without
you asking it don’t ask for it wait for
it okay and that may take some time but
those kind of moments are gonna create
the dog saying what are we doing
as opposed to I’m doing this or this
means this a reactive dogs mindset is is
this means this this means this this
means is this means this this means this
this means this this means this that’s
sort of a one-track mind and it’s a kind
of a dumb thought process we want to get
our dogs to engage more with us look us
in the eye more give us more eye contact
and for that we have to make them do
things in the midst of that this means
this situation so the dog can start to
think and so I would put the dog in
place and I would go get my jacket I
would even do this if you can’t do that
without the leash leash them up put them
in place go get the get yourself ready
jacket and all that and if the dog can
hold its place for a minute literally a
minute then you can go get the dog and
then go outside and try that but try
switching things up like that to get the
dog to to to start thinking start using
his head and not react as much all right
hope that makes sense and I hope that
helps let me know if it doesn’t all
right thank you I will try the
positioning with the double Isha’s he
does trust me and the owner we can do
this I will be rougher on the vet tech
for sure that baby talk kills me uh the
Lord kills me kills me kills and kills
me kills me all right thanks for your
question okay
my charlie boy seems to be inconsistent
ly anxious are the triggers I may not be
aware of that could be triggering his
stress why don’t you tell me what the
dog gets stressed over and I can tell
you unless the dog just gets anxious
like you said for no reason but there’s
always a reason we just gotta figure it
out yeah gotta figure it out so let me
know what you think when does it happen
there’s got to be a pattern all right
okay I am doing that and at the door but
I will try using the place command
switching it up you can also do this you
can also bring the dog outside and then
bring the dog right back inside and then
wait again at the door and then let the
dog react to his environment again and
bring them right back inside you know
something to just really come back that
reactive mindset you know getting the
dog to to really pay attention to you
because you also have to take control in
that environment thresholds are
difficult because it’s the unknown so
that’s why a lot of dogs want to
naturally rush out of the door it’s the
unknown that they’re trying to become
known that’s trying they’re trying to
you know they may run out the door see a
squirrel bird stranger something like
that that could make them either really
nervous or really excited and so their
need to get out is is it’s very very
tough to deal with you know and but you
know door control and threshold control
is something that I you know really can
really stress so try those things and
see see where you get all right
thanks for your question
okay you guys to get your last questions
in if you have any otherwise what I’m
gonna start doing is picking a dog
trainer or somebody who is within our
industry or you know and I’m gonna start
I think I told you this last time but
I’m gonna start interviewing people so
that we can get a different start
getting a my community can start getting
a different perspective from different
people all around the freaking world
I’ve already got a couple people in mind
but make sure you tune in next time so
that we can actually we can actually
have that you know it’ll be me and some
other expert talking about dogs and dog
behavior or whatever it is so stay tuned
it’s gonna be great thank you guys for
all your questions give me a thumbs up
