Stop Doing This With Nervous Dogs

Very good content. Straight to the point! 🎉

Yes, people, dogs need strong leadership. Not weak reassurance that they cannot possibly understand.

People who are honest in life tell everyone through their actions what they are thinking and feeling.

This is a great lesson for any leader in life.

My parents were dog breeders when I was a child. My job in my early teens was training any dog they decided to keep. This man is 100% correct. People try to humanize dogs and it just confuses the animal.

I always tell my anxious boxer “cmon one of us has to be tough, we can’t both be anxious” since I’m naturally an anxious person too but with training I’ve learned to calm my anxiety and lead! U can def see the difference when u take the lead and they trust you and calm down! My boxer is a scaredy cat but slowly I feel so proud to see her go past benches or trash cans timidly but still goes through them when she used to want to run away in the opposite direction !

This is very true. Dogs are masters of body language.

I'm a dog 🐕 and this man understands us! 👌 😶

Having a hard time hearing you through that loud ass piano music.

I had my rescued fearful dog for about 3 months and I was doing the confident leading and as she learned to trust me she was getting better. But then I started adding a soft reassuring "he's o.k." if someone was running towards us or if a noisy motorcycle was going by and, I don't know, I see a difference in her when I communicate that she is safe with words, adding it to the confident reassuring walk

Zippy showing her tummy so quicky made my heart soar! Having that level of trust so quickly shows what a difference a loving home can make. I’m watching these videos as I’m currently in the process of adopting a rescue dog, and we’ve been told she’s nervous around new people so I’m trying to be as informed as possible! Thank you for your help!

I do that with my boy. If i hesitate entering somewhere, he'll be looking around more than usual. But if i go somewhere without hesitation, he has the same attitude and follows with confident waddles and tailwhips. 😁

Wow I just learned some thing important in less than a minute! Thank you! 😁

[discolandrover]

You have it, my friend. Keep up the good work. As I often say, the problem is really at the other end of the lead.

Confidence and mellowness counts. If your in a car wreck tense, you get hurt more than if you were just relaxed. When two fighter face each other, the calmer and less emotional almost always come out on top. Dogs respond to your demeanor and personality. My new pups always run when the miss or I yell at the movie screen for whatever reason as it's the only time we yell so it's so very intimidating. Almost all come back when they understand they are not under attack and see us repeat the behavior and laugh slightly uncontrollably. This person is a great trainer. Beautiful dog.

This is super helpful thank you. I have a Shepard boarder collie rescue who is scared of her own shadow. I couldn’t imagine what she went through before she was rescued the man did a real number on her.

Just a repeat of Cesar Millan training! However, desperately needed in the UK!

[kavitagurappaji]

YOUR VIBRATION TELLS THEM A LOT!! EVEN BEFORE U KNOW IT SOMETIMES. SO BE REAL AMONGST ANIMALS!! GENTLE. KINS AND LOVING!!!

*makes direct eye contact with dog* “There we go. There we go. Look!”

“I don’t tell him through words”

Hahah that moment had me chuckling. Dog looked at you as if to say you definitely did just reassure me verbally haha. 😂

100% correct! The dogs looks to the owner and how he is handling situations and they panic with you. If you know what your doing the song is right there with you. If you are being attacked then he knows to help you (if he is trained that way). It’s all about what you feel.

People have no clue that the dog spends his whole day looking at you, trying to please you and looking at everything you do. They know all the things you do all the time. It’s very important that you stay calm so your dog has a good life and a calm life
