How to Introduce a Timid Dog to the Agility Tunnel

- Dog agility was originally developed as a confidence course for dogs. Learning to perform the different obstacles teaches your dog how to adapt and trust you. Watch how a very simple technique teaches a very stressed out dog that learning new things can be fun. #baebeasdogtraining #dogtraining #dogagility

I love this! You can see how concerned Raven is and it is great that you don’t let her off the hook. You help her work through it which builds her confidence. All too often, people coddle the dog which reinforces the fear. Well done!!!
Thank you. This video is unedited and you can see her confidence grow with each repetition.
Woo hoo! So often larger Dobes have to duck down so far and are so afraid of it. That last one was the perfect one to end on - she was driven by then - I got this! Yes!!! Am going to request a tunnel practice session with my Agility instructor. My Dobe is 28 inches at the shoulder so it's a bit awkward. Have seen a Leonberger do a Barn Hunt tunnel which is even lower in height I believe, so I know it can be done. Thank you again.
I’m glad the video helped. If you’ve tried in the past to get your Dobe in the tunnel, but were not successful, it will be a real challenge this time because your dog won in the past. Stick to your guns. Keep the session very short. And good luck!
@@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland we always ended after he went through, but he really only did it because I wanted him to, not to his liking. Getting them to want to do it is the key, right?
@@robinrutherfordcost4748 absolutely.
If you notice, we tossed the treat. That incorporates prey drive into the lesson and makes it more enjoyable.
