Step one: Teach your dog to bark on command. This will be the deterrent.

Step two: Say your command and have the decoy/helper come out to tease your dog with the toy.

Step three: Practice this in multiple environments to help your dog become generalized to the training.

In regard to the science part, keep in mind that when you are training your dog the science is always the same; what varies between each dog are things like motivation, perseverance, intelligence, temperament, disposition, etc. Being able to adjust for each dog’s specific needs is considered the art of dog training.

Because of this, not all techniques work on all dogs; and as a result, you have to be able to adjust accordingly. For example, a dog with a very high level of perseverance will continue to work through a difficult task to get a reward—while other dogs may give up early.

Mine has a natural alert ability. He used to react around people on illegal drugs. I'm disabled, I taught him to hold his place and stare. People avoid us when he displays his serious side. I also taught him to walk slowly while staring. Never have any trouble. If it's urgent he goes into reverse and sits next to my left side. My right foot is a prosthetic. Always safe when Fred is with me. Still any normal person can pet him. I know I'm lucky. Love the tips. They should help next time I have to train the next one.

Feel like Nate reads my mind. Whenever I want to know how to train something, that is the next video Nate releases. I am on to you, Nate lol.

So much to love about this video, but even looking at minute 1:20, when Nate is adjusting the leash--Arih is repositioning herself, trying to figure out what behavior Nate is asking for. This is the definition of an "Operant Dog". I have no room, time, money nor heart to spare to bring another dog into my life; my working line GSD is more than plenty. But darn: Arih IS a spectacular, GOOD GIRL!!! I'm so happy she is Nate's dog, what a pair!!💖

[sarikoske]

This video is an absolute lifesaver - can't thank you enough Nate! What an amazing service/gift/help you are providing. Just wonderful 👍

My 35 lbs shiba won’t scare anyone with this but I’m bored and got to train him new tricks. 😆

We need new tricks and challenges. Thanks for this awesome video.

[InternalTaiChi]

Thank you! I have recently had some encounters while walking and felt vulnerable to the potentially threatening situation. Teaching my dog this skill will definitely give me more confidence when walking in various settings. Thanks so much! Great delivery of instruction. Your videos and support has helped me to create a fabulous dog with a deep bond. Can't thank you enough!

I'm a 70 yr old man of 155 pounds, walking a four yr old 75 pound Bouvier. Lucky for me, she is good off leash, and responds well to "Easy" thanks to you. 😉👍

[RomeoWico]

Going to be starting this with my border collie mix due to a recent scare that I had. Thank you for this easy-to-follow video!

[daddyskitz]

Can’t believe I’ve done this already with both my staffy and chihuahua! 🤣 no toy only treats.
They both perk up to the commands “who’s that?” Or “what’s that’s” .

But they have the tone on that command to be specific. Always on leash: So it’s kinda aggressive but they don’t mind me at all now and just aim their attention over where I look or gesture. The staffy gets confused on where I want her to aim her focus, if it’s dark and we only hear a noise and not see some scaley denizen of the dark. But the chihuahua is pretty good on being being focused on which direction to actually bark in. Rather than my staffy pacing around me braying and hackling in random directions looking for something to bark at or waiting for noise to find the direction.

Love it my 3 of my American bullies protect my kids like crazy u can’t yell or make fast movements by them and when my boy he’s always on alert but if I’m tryna test him by myself I say watch it and he instantly stops n looks around n nudges if someone is near

[jeffg.]

Mate you are such an awesome teacher! Learning a lot! Awesome videos 👍👍👍

[BelindaS]

Thank you for the well explained video. Was worried once I train the cujo out of my girl (my fault not hers), she might lack this deterrent. Really motivated me to stop making excuses re training. Seems there is a solution to most peoples perceived outcomes. Great content.

[marychapa]

I just came across your videos and I’m so excited!!! I have 2 10 week old Siberian Shepherds and I’m 68 and I need to get this right!!

[slightlysober_]

[doohhead]
