Barking Episode 4- Barking at Strangers- Dog training

This dog training video outlines a plan for beginning to counter condition a dog to certain types of people that a dog becomes reactive to. This video can also be used as a way to socialize young puppies to weird things in the environment. Another useful application of these exercises would be for a dog and handler team practicing to take a Canine Good Citizen test, as well as proofing a Therapy dog or Service dog for all types of situations they might encounter while on the job. It is very …

As always, wonderful training video! I wish more people would do this sort of stuff during the PUPPY SOCIALIZATION PHASE (with the slow intro of new stuff as you describe) so there would be fewer reactive dogs in the first place!
Very nice
great video, this is very interesting and helpful
nice video!! you rock!
Fabulous!
thanks for this video, I love your barking videos and your videos on training your dog to be calm around things they are not used to. I don’t know what I would do without your videos
Well, what do i do when my dog is afraid of older people?
I am not kidding, every older people, my grandmother and any other grannies, my dark starts barking. They don’t have objects with them around. I cannot make myself “old” to teach my dog lol
Very well done! 5* There’s alot of reactive dogs out there, so this will be soo helpful, Emily and Pam!
The strange movement part was funny, heheh and Bruno is lovely! Again, nice work!!
Family guy viewing party at my crib, onlyy single guys are invited : )
Interesting! I noticed that a lot of dogs fear umbrellas the moment in which they open. Perhaps it’s strange for them to see the sudden change of shape.
Excellent advice and something that most people don’t think to train. Great idea! What is the name brand of the harness on Splash? It looks really comfortable.
Hahaha! I know I was going to put a note in the video that in San Diego no one ever wears coats or umbrellas!
thank you! Pam
T-
Its like the chin rest in the gotcha video, but instead hold your hand over the dogs head instead of under and go through the steps.
Nope. Its actually very easy to use counter conditioning on a dog of any age granted you have something they find highly reinforcing.
Kiko didn’t like man hole covers. It makes sense, why would a dog walk over something that is hollow when they could walk over a safer area of non hollow ground.
Splash can get very excited by my brother’s funny movements. He likes to excite her on purpose… Luckily he’s finding it harder and hard to find movements that excite her. Hehe!
That is such a great idea
Wonderful as always–I’ll be desensitizing Kharma to pedestrians when she’s in our car.
At 1:56 there was a dog passing by and he didn’t even care.
If it would of been mine he would’ve ran the hell out of his mind just so he could make a friend out of this dog’s ass.
A lot of information and training issues on an important subject. Thanks for this video!
and I think I’ll try some of this on my horse, too! She can be spooked by the funniest things!
Absolutely full of amazing advice! The “funny movements” struck a chord here as that would defnitely set Doc over his “threshold.” We always say he doesn’t allow dancing as he goes nuts if we move like that. Goofy boy that he is. Thanks as always for awesomamazing training tips!
Thanks Pam, yes that is very helpful. I want the same, for her to like it and not just be tolerant. thx -Tracy
Really helpful – as I have a dog who gets easily spooked – I’ve been doing a lot that you recommend and its so good to see it put into practise with further tips.
Once again very informative and terrific video! Pipsa used to be very scared of water grids while on walk but with clicking and gradually progressing she now goes to sniff those and tries to get a treat every time
