Just discovered your channel and it's truly awesome. It also gave me some hope in a moment where training my dog has become quite disheartening. He's a beautiful and sweet 4yo English Setter who I adopted 9 month ago after he was abandoned by a hunter (here in Italy this happens a lot with these breeds - hunters often abandon hounds who are not "good enough"). Knowing how reactive these dogs are, I started working on my recall with him from day one and I have reached the point where I can say his recall his very good in moments of medium/low stimulation. However, he's got such a strong prey drive and such high reactivity that in certain circumstances it feels like he's not even aware I'm there with him. If he smells water nearby there's no way stopping him from running towards it, or if he smells an animal in a nearby bush, there's no way recalling him for the next 2/3 mins. This is very sad to me because I love going on long walks in nature with him and see him explore the world around him, but I also want to make sure he's safe and that I can control him should the situation require that. I'll definitely try the long lead technique, especially when it comes to his drive to run towards water. Keep up the good work Ben, really appreciate your energy and the knowledge you bring to the table!
@@lookadrummer88 thank you! Sounds like you have your hands full but your dog sounds great! Definitely try using a long line more and try to capture those moments he tries to run off! Wishing you all the best ❤️
Thank you.
Clear and useful cue giver advice.
Eps light long lead is a thin, rock climber, static rope. It has lasted well.
We are still practising on making handler more exciting and rewarding than great sniffs.
We didn't meet till 7 months and this part of our journey has been a lot of handler mistakes and learning.
Your clips are appreciated.
😎🐾
It’s always a little tougher when you were not there from the start! Sounds like you’re doing a great job!👏
@@balanceddoguk finding kindness based, practical and useful UA-cam clips like your productions make some handler errors easier to fix.
Thank you for sharing such helpful tips.
Love your vibes in your channel. you sure gave me some great advice already !
Would like to know what you would do with a young bordercollie that is super focussed on cars. specially the ones that comes towards us.
Or birds in a field. If she sees those and incoming cars my BC lost all focus on me. Can even stand in front of her like right in her face, she wont even look up to me for one second.
The moment the birds/cars are gone, she's snaps out of it and looks up again.
Love her and love training her. just that is a super struggle still and dont know how to improve that as well as her AND me.
Anyway, thanks for putting your vidoes here man !!!
Thank you!
When I next have a dog in that does this type of behaviour I will make a video about it. But for now I would first focus on the heel and the engagement making sure it is as close to 10/10 I could get it when there was no distraction. Once you have this as a baseline you can then use ur lead to interrupt the behaviour as soon as she goes to fixate on the trigger. You will likely need to be firm on the lead to break focus and regain attention. You may want to use a different collar and lead setup and I would recommend trying to find a trainer to help you in person with this one. It requires a good understanding of the dogs specific behaviour, good timing and skill on the lead to overcome this type of thing so definitely see if you can get some help from a trainer.
@@balanceddoguk Cheers !
It has been a while I've been to my trainer, but now with that behabiour I think I'll have too.
Altho I've got over 50% of the training with her focussed on that part the last 10 days I do see some improvement with it,
I guess it shoud as I try to give her about 3 hours of walk/train/play a day right ? :)
but not gonne lie this is a hard nut to crack. specially as my garden is small and I do live in a pretty bussy place. and the closest " chill " place is a little walk of 2 min.
and, in that "chill" place I feel i do got a 6.5 - 7/10 with distractions on a "ok" distance.
Anyway. I'll just keep training. Matter off fact. I'll never stop training her \o/
Great advice thank you. My 2 months old is always bitting the leash. What can I do 😓.
@@johanacanales7800 I like to focus an emote training session on this (10-15mins). The lead becomes a bit of a toy. I would use two leads to correct this, when they went for the long like I would use the shorter line to correct them, trying to catch the exact moment they go to put the lead in their mouth rather than waiting for them to be running around with it
Can you do a day in the life video
@@urbanmtb3984 yeah! I can do that🤩
My dogs recall is solid when no other dogs are about I can have him off lead it’s just when there’s dogs around he will run over there ?
I know the feeling :)
My dog is 14 months now and she does come back to me if the other dog is still like 30 meters away. one step closer and she goes nuts and wants to play.
I'm trying hard to keep her on heel when we pass. its a 50/50 if she will stay calm or goes "nuts"
Use the long line to interrupt that behaviour until you see it decrease or disappear entirely. Not having the line on leaves too much up too chance as you may think your clear of dogs until one comes out of nowhere and your dogs off, rehearsing that unwanted behaviour 🤦♂️
