This a wonderful start and I use these methods too. But I want everyone watching to know this is NOT a quick fix. The next day the dog will be reactive again so this must be practiced multiple times a day every day. Also you will need to practice with different dogs, not the same one every time. And as soon as the other dog acts up then your dog will too. This can be a long process.
Yep...one of my new clients said the same thing to me last week- having been using and managing this technique for 13 months now. She still couldn't take the dog to pick up or drop her kids at school, which was her intitial goal, because it just wasn't efficient on time. 3 kids and 2 dogs, definitely stressed out and tight for time every day! Training is a lot or repetition and consistency to build new habits-then proofing in infinite environments and distractions, various dogs/humans like you mentioned. There are also much quicker fixes so it is important not to limit your training to just one strategy.
I bought this same harness system for my 70lb shepherd. Before she would just drag me when she got excited. I was afraid of falling and getting hurt. What a difference it made in the control I had of her. She quickly learned she had to go at my speed. Made a huge difference for the better.
Newfoundlands have pound for pound the pulling power of an elephant. You need to train them at a young age because by the time they are 1 year old they realise just how strong they are. When a newfi lunges you have no chance, they are not an aggressive dog but can be clumsy in a lovable way which does not help you when the dog wants to say hello to someone or another dog and you end up ploughing a field on your tum when you loose control. Make sure you are insured for 3rd party liability not just vet fees.
A harness is something I tried with my pup but you have to realise the harness allows the dog to use their full power whilst pulling as heartbreaking as it may seem a collar or sliplead is sometimes more ideal for correction
I need help because I have kinda the same problem I need help with introducing to male dogs one is a pit bull mix with a boxer and the other is a regular pitbull
What can I do or pay for you to come to Colorado springs I need help with my dog she's on the verge of being put down I love her so much and she's so sweet to me but mean to other people
When you pick dogs up in such situations, you're putting them above and re-enforce that they're in charge of the situation. So that's like saying "Here, have a throne for your behaviour". :'3 Avoiding situations is not a solution. It's coping and likely unreliable. And needs of play aren't met. So hopefully you're having help with actual solutions, so your dog would have to be so stressed that they launch into attacks. It tends to be bad for their health, too.
@@KxNOxUTA I get that she's anxious and I've tried multiple solutions but nothing seems to help. I'm hoping when I get her spayed it will calm her down or at least stop seeing every dog as a threat
It does not look like friendlyness though. Head up, tail fully up, tense back... it all communicates unfriendlyness, combined with he staring at other dogs is just plain rudeness. Its almost the human equivalent of giving someone the finger.
For now she should start with counter conditioning. So you would treat the dog anytime she looks at the baby/kids. What this will do is start creating a positive association with the children. But it will take time. Hope this helps 🙏. If you have anymore questions plz ask and if you have the money I would suggest hiring a ForceFree dog trainer in your area or signing up for virtual training sessions with one.
I feel sorry for the dog he will get hurt. IF he approached my cao like that unfortunately he will be badly injured. A beautiful newfoundland like that deserves more than what the owners doing .
Let's not shame owners who got themselves help. That's like scolding a dog for showing the wanted behavior. What this comment should have been, was praise for making good decisions to alleviate the problem so the dog can be safer in future! Small adjustment of message but it makes all the difference!
@@KxNOxUTA They aren’t wrong. It’s great the owners are working on it now but scary to imagine all the people that must have been terrified of a large dog like that barreling towards them.
Because they are, it's the training that is important and understanding the science behind it. I don't understand why people can't wrap their heads around that and still use archaic training methods.
@@xhogun8578 The “science” behind using a harness as a training tool is flawed. A harness may work with dogs who are easily trained, but dogs with actual behavioral issues will simply ignore it.
@@Vince_F What do you mean ignore it? You don't correct dogs on a harness nor should you ever need to use corrections. Harnesses don't cause pulling lol. Also there are a ton of people that have reactive dogs or dogs that have severe behavioral problems that use harnesses and yet there dogs are thriving with their training. Would also love to know why you think the science behind why harnesses are a good training tool are "flawed".
@@Vince_F your response shows how poor your knowledge is and to refute the science shows a willingness not to learn. I would advise you to get an education on how to teach loose leaf walking from someone that does understand the science.
"Overly friendly". 🤣😭
Bless his large heart. He's a good boii.
That can be a problem if the other dogs aren’t friendly .
@Steven Setzer It definitely can, but it just sounded so innocent and funny...especially on THIS channel. 😬🥴🤣

Do you think those methods are suitable for small breeds as well? I have a toy poodle that is also reactive to other dogs
Yes the walking figure of 8 changing directions all the time will help

Well done owners keep up the good work ❤
Aww such a nice puppy. Give it 6 months of this training and it'll eventually catch on to how to behave
@@christophermc2 I could too but her methods do work eventually. Victoria is pretty clever with her training.

My Scottie Molly was like this, she just wanted to say hello, she was really strong for a little dog
Dougie: ‘I would even cuddle a sandworm!’
I need to try this with my 166lb Great Pyrenees- he has the same issue
Bruh... I'VE SEEN THEM IRL!
Whaaat???
With Vic? 😲
Huhhhhhh?????
AHAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂
Gimme more info pls
Victoria to the rescue! 😊😊

you mean dangerously ferocious
Amazing🎉

How many times should a puppy eat?
He just wants to be "the Goodest boi"...
I wish you could help us i wish you were in Australia
Omg he is a big dog 😮
What can I do or pay for you to come to Colorado springs I need help with my dog she's on the verge of being put down I love her so much and she's so sweet to me but mean to other people
If that's America send her to Andy kreuger
He’s very cute
Newfies are just the best
I could just never have one living in my home 😅 my OCD couldn't handle it! My client has a 155lb Newfiepoo-definitely better on hair and drool 🤤 🤣
SO EXCITED l!!! ❤
Is it a mastiff?
All that drool lol need a bin, sweet doggo tho❤
This was a good episode. I think maybe because we understand the owners...
yow, this dog is the same as my dog
They are good dogs they need to be trained and lots of exercise most important ❤
3:15 …incorrect
Sorry you are wrong.
My dog is kind of the opposite. She likes to attack other dogs but she's small and easy to carry so she never gets into fights

By any chance was she a Chihuahua? If so I can see why.

Issue with Newfies is that often owners can't read them as they tend to retain a soft facial expression. However other dogs will and therefore react.
Plz help my friends she has a Chihuahua that hates little kids can you help her she has a baby
Why she got a rat dog in first place
@@acgraphics1139 And why are you a rat in general?

Get your dog a friend! Easy solution, he's lonely.
Worst advice ever
Then they'll have two out of control dogs. Two dogs - triple the work...
That might just escalate the issue.
I’ll never understand why owners of dogs with behavioral issues think using HARNESSES is a good idea.

Harnesses give better control, dogs can also injure themselves pulling on a collar
