Please keep producing videos. You’re info is right on and helps many dogs stay in their homes and gives owners confidence to train them.

Until this video, because of her body language i thought my dog was overly excited but this shows me that shes nervous and anxious. She stops when she see's car's because i stop with her and tell her no and act anxious so she copies. I stop and panic when other dogs are around, she does the same. Makes so much sense now!

[megankayser]

Oh my gosh, my dog has been impossible to walk and impossible to have in the house. He’s always on alert and is constantly barking at his reflection trashcans, anything bigger than him etc. This past week and a half i have been using the techniques from this video. And i have seen massive improvements. Today is the first time i took him on a walk where he wasn’t tugging pulling and barking the whole time. Thank you so much for your videos I can not believe the improvement I’ve seen in just a week.

Nigel's videos led me to look for his book on Kindle. I bought it and it has completely changed what I thought I knew about dogs and has let me understand their behavior. Amazing lessons!

[suzannestone]

this was super helpful and thoroughly informative, well done video, thanks!

[apbt]

It’s sad videos like this don’t get more views. No bs about anything that is irrelevant to the topic of the video. Just facts from start to finish. I love a video that doesn’t waste what we can’t get back and that’s our time! Good video.

[kwhizkids]

Well done! Great video!! Around... so important for owners to become familiar with and respond appropriately to their dog's earliest communications.

[loveskatingeva]

Thnak you for some amazing clips. I have a reactive dog but still dont understand everything with body language. This is probably the best one ive seen

[evat]

This is helpful! Our dog does the aggressive "freeze" which really looks like she wants to just go at the other dog and it's NOT fun. She's also done the attack part, sadly, though the first few times she got into it with other dogs, I don't think she was the one who "started it". So I think she became reactive after a few bad experiences with other dogs and now reacts badly to all of them.

[dianakoch]

There she is...my fearful dog displays an assertive freeze with barking...unfortunately she is doing this every time she sees a stranger and she is an intimidating 85 pounds. I have been researching local trainers (Delaware, US) and breed specific trainers (Dogo Argentino) and have been appalled at some of the suggestions I have received. Your calm, confidence-building approach is exactly what I have been seeking!

[lightworksphotograph]

Hi Nigel, very clear and helpful video as ever. It really helped me to identify my dog as a hard line aggressive freezer when encountering other will also try to dominate other dogs and invade their space if they meet closely which can rapidly turn into aggression as well. She has made massive progress in other areas of perceived threat mainly due to us using the techniques in your book and videos but we have hit a real road block with her around other dogs. Does the course cover specific techniques to get her to cope without resorting to the aggressive freeze and will it help us to help her to meet other dogs without her feeling the need to dominate and be aggressive?

[brendasizemore]

Loved this. Thank you for showing examples.

Thanks Nigel - great content. May I suggest the background music doesn't add much to the value and for people who are hard of hearing (like me) it makes it more difficult to understand what is being said. No music for me. Thanks

[TheDogBookCompany]

Thank you for posting this video, very informative!

[dibrentley]

Watched my dogs behaviour at the shop today, yah he looked at me for guidance!

[PZPism]

Keep posting videos. My dog always growls at other dogs and pulls towards them. Help!

[XjtBA]

Nigel, have you ever worked with Afghan Hounds? They are a unique breed with unique challenges, unlike most other breeds. I would love to see a video of you training an Afghan. Thanks 🙏

[MegstheJokerQueen]

If more people especially children learnt about dog body language there would be less bites.

[Hugo-xlmw]

I had I awful experience in wales last week where I accidentally dropped the lead and my dog a Tibetan terrier crossed with a cocker and Patterdale terrier bolted towards a sheep luckily someone stopped him in his path it was a terrible experience and one I wish I could have not been through if only I had more control over him


would really appreciate some advice on controlling prey drive thank you

[gregfilippi]

My dog is definitely freeze assertive. Any tips on how to get her to be less tense upon meeting new dogs?
