Thanks!
Very helpful video, thank you! Will try with my puppy
Thank you ladies! Carol, I enjoy when you are on. You inspire me and my Malinois mix to keep going. Training is so much better. We are out everyday in public. In it for the long haul.â€
We live in the mountains, so my pup has had very limited exposure to other people. Being a lab, she wants to to jump and lick and get all over our elderly neighbor when she comes over. I need to focus on training this skill by asking friends to visit and help, day after day.
So youâre trying to distract the dog with food instead of the other dog. Youâre doing that by calling their name. What if they are so focused on the other dog they ignore you? Then what? As soon as my dog sees another dog, they donât even know Iâm on the other end of the leash.
Increase distance. The dog is over threshold if no longer listening to you.
I found I had to use a better treat as well. The better treat became more important than the other dog distraction.
I tried even steak, my dog is not food, or toy motivated, good luck with treats (tried at least 100 different treats, not working).
@Ăgnes MĂ©szĂĄros-Matwiejuk yeah my dog can care less about anything but the other dog or person walking by. Treats arent gonna work by themselves. What I find is that even me standing in front of the dog between the distraction with a treat works for a few minutes maybe.
â@Ăgnes MĂ©szĂĄros-Matwiejukjust use her food. She has to eat something at some point, so toss the food bowl into the garbage and wait for her to be willing to *work* for it. It may take a day or two but it’s so worth it!
This was very helpful. I see that Iâve been making several mistakes and reinforcing the unwanted behavior. My Boston terrier is extremely hardheaded when he wants what he wants. Iâve got some work to do on my partnn
Literally just got back from a walk. My dogs biggest challenge. How did you know?
This is my dog đ our familyâs biggest challenge to stop her
What if your dog is not food driven? I have tried every kind of treat down to high reward treats such as cooked chicken etc, but if there is another dog in view, my dog is so overly excited and that dog is all that they care about. (No matter how far away) if they can see them. For reference, My dog’s intent is in no way aggressive toward other dogs, but overly eager to want to go play with them. I have also tried special toys and play to distract as well with no success. Thank you!! đ
Same here, my dog is neither food nor toy motivated.

My dog is deaf. How do I adjust this lesson to fit for him? He is a recent 1 yr old Blue Heeler pup.

I just got a puppy and my senior dog is like this. I want to be sure my puppy doesnât develop this behavior as well. Thank you!
