hello in one of your mail ,you have talk about one “mentor ” it’s possible to have the name from this person ?
Thank you for this video. My dog is also afraid of humans and noises (from cars, trucks,…) – I will try to feed him treats when he sees the human approaching. I trust that it is going to work - thanks so much!
My dogs are reactive to other dogs, if they are on the leash or in the car. Once we are at the park and they are free running, they ignore other dogs. My 2 year old dog is not comfortable around strangers, unless they have a dog with them. She appears to me to be resource guarding. I counter this behaviour, by placing her back on the leash and giving wide berth to people. All the while saying ‘leave it, good girl, leave it’. She is ‘growing out’ of this behaviour gradually. It is a lot of work.
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!

@jarahdawg My dog was so upset in the car she would barf. When she started licking her lips, like she was going to be sick, I would get excited and start talking about cats and she would be so busy looking out the wndow for the cats so she wouldnt get sick. This was when she was 1 she is now 2 years old and hasnt been sick since. Talking about the postman would help my pup too, lol Hope this helps. x

cute!
@wbequet your dog knows what you’re saying
Awesome insight. Timing is so critical and easy to mistake.My Lab still pulls a bit after 8 months of training. I trained him for heeling first and then decided to do LLW as we live in an urban area. Being a country boy it was always heeling or off leash, never had a reason for LLW. That was my first mistake…should have been LLW first then heeling. Also so my click timing was off, pointed out by the pro clicker trainer I finally hired to train me….she’s great and worth every bit.
love it! my dog is reactive towards other dogs and i have been trying counter conditioning and have not seen that much improvement. during training sessions with my dog which training gear do you recommend? such as a harness, muzzle, gentle leader head collar etc..
Hi Emily!!!!You never stop to give us news about the Dog’s World!!!!!
Thanks !!!!!
Saludos!!!

thanx so much for this emily, works for my horse too:)
Hey Emily, I have a doubt about “dog thinking about the food” what about training “attention”? My dog will walk beside me offering lots of attention but he is defenately doing it because he’s thinking about the food. He has learnt that if he looks at me whilst we walk that he will be reinforced. Is it a bad idea to try to train attention as a default behaviour with a dog who is a bit obsessed about food? I’m a bit confused about this.
@josski32 Hehe yep my dog is the only one who understands me.
How do you “build Your dog’s Food Drive”? I have a new (3 weeks) resuce, shepherd, pit, lab, who cam to us very frightened and shy??? She doesn’t seem to be treat motivated at all so training her except with encouraging sounds of reassurance has been the only “treat” available. She is just now beginning to eat regularly. I would love to know if there is a way to build a dog’s desire for treats??
Oh yeah, you totally rock Emily. Thank you for your generosity!
Hi Emily, the technique you described is here in germany called “Zeigen und Benennen” (show and name). It’s not exactly the same you described but very similar. If the trigger shows up (a human or a dog or something else) you say first “dog” or “cat” or whatever and then click. After a few repetitions you say “where is the cat” or “where is the *triggerword*” – the dog searches for the trigger and if the dog had focused the trigger the trigger get marked and the reward followed. ….
… Some dogs can’t take treats because of they are tensed so maybe looking at the trigger is the reward. After some repetitions you see if the dog sees a trigger before you may see the trigger. The trigger is getting positive marked so that it’s possible to reduce distances. It’s a very good technique to help “problem dogs” not to bark. …
If the “Zeigen und Benennen” game is perfectly trained the dog may be more responsive and take treats thrown on the ground, react on the “handtouch” cue and other things. Then its possible to mark “turnig away from the exciting, anxiety causing trigger”. The dog become a lot more manageable. Maybe someone can explain you this technique a bit more detailed if you are on your tour in germany this year
(Because there are some rumors out there that you may visit germany in 2012) … just in the case you don’t know about it yet
haha. splash knows how to spell that.
Allie is a rescued Sato and we have been working on her reactions to oncoming humans and dogs that she does not know with some success; however, this really sheds on new light and brings us to another level. We have practiced not focusing on the food; however, the trigger moment as you describe is brilliant. We will surely be more aware of the proper trigger and increase our practice with treats out of focus! We really appreciate you and your advice! Barbara, Trixie and Allie
@laurabradshaw5 I went through the same when my pup was new to us. 3 weeks is so little a time to be in a brand new environment. Perhaps yours just needs time. I worked w my own be as comfortable as possible in his new home. He was a high anxiety dog& not food motivated until relaxed w his new home. After that, the more he went to any one place (inside the bank, a shop or petshop),the more relaxed he became there & would take treats at these locations. It’s worth the time.
@peterl0815 Cool, I will ask about it! It sounds like the “look at that” game they do here. I like the game and actually do name things for my dog who is weirded out by strange hats- I tell her “its a hat” and then she says “oh thank god! Thanks for letting me know!”. BUT the different thing that I do is I pair the words with something reinforcing first, before using them with the trigger- because sometimes you can actually condition the words as a punisher by pairing them with only
@kikopup the triggers. Some reactive dogs will actually bark if you say “hello”, or “whos that”, “go say hi”, “look at that” or even when their handler clicks a clicker, because their own only clicks when there is something creepy around. So with the game you have to be careful that no “poisoning” is going on.
@kikopup Also the “look at that” game is operant conditioning as well as counter conditioning- because the dog is offering a behavior for a reward, rather than only counter conditioning.
in french please?
