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 !
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
I am not trying to completely suppress my dog’s natural instinct to protect: it’s a good thing! Just need to make sure it’s controlled and she understands that I PROTECT HER first.
I think saying that gives us confidence as well as humans we understand language so if we say it's all good it's okay then we feel that even more and I think that's what helps I use it with my horses as well as dog. Definitely helps me but I speak to myself like that a lot it's a strategy I use for my anxiety that works ( fake it until you make it)
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. 😁
I’ve even noticed my dog randomly barking at things on our walk that I am staring at for too long - because I’m simply trying to figure out why something looks different from the last time we walked there. Lol
It's the same with kids. So many parents coo their babies/ kids when they are crying or upset or nervous, for example, when most times the best response is to ignore them and let them watch you be comfortable, calm, and confident.
Yes!! I learned this with dogs that were just bad on leashes too. Stop and sniff everything and pull. You just have to face forward and start marching with authority and don’t stop even if you feel they’re resisting at first. As soon as they see you’re looking forward and marching ahead with authority, they immediately follow you as the pack leader
This usually works for me until the first time met a dog that flops and will literally get dragged by the neck on concrete for meters. Was so confused never had the confident march not work. I tried using treats but he learnt to constantly stop fishing for more treats. Only method that works has been waiting not looking at him until he gets bored and moves on
It’s ridiculous not to stop to sniff stuff. Dogs don’t need the kind of marching walks that people do need. They need to engage with the environment through using their nose and they will obviously resist if you don’t give them plenty opportunities to do that.
@cuzza4321 got my first puppy and she does the same thing. Ive had dogs brfore but not a puppy. No matter how much i march ahead and am confident, no matter how much i drag her without even looking at her. or changing my approach like stopping and waiting, she refuses to walk and will literally let herself be dragged, she refuses to eat treats. The only way I can think of doing is to give her a very high reward treat and give it to her everytime she starts walking forward untill she gets bored of stopping
I personally always tell them it’s OK and talk to them but I make them go through whatever I’m trying to get them to do. My last rescue was a four-year-old LGD mix and she would not let me walk her or touch her for over a month and I have officially adopted her and can at least walk up to her to put a leash on and walk her to where I need her to go but I can take a lot more time than people are wanting to realize and commit to. Nice video!
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.
Absolutely right dogs pick up all of our emotions and we need to be confident calm leaders ..I have a blue staffy and before a rescued staffy x for 12 years they're can be very sensitive dogs but all dogs need good leadership
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.
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
I have a dog that was really reactive, it was impossible to walk him around the neighborhood because he would bark at every single dog, eventually I started walking faster whenever I passed in front of a fence, and he focused on running rather than barking, then he lost that habit pretty quickly later on, when I became more confident I didn't even need to run, or do anything or give him any commands, my confidence and calm gave him confidence and calm also, don't let the dog push/pull you around, make sure the dog understands that you're stronger and that he should follow/listen to you I like how the guy focuses a lot on "don't use words" and that's true, dogs mostly learn key words or commands, if you want to get something through to them, show them through actions
That's you projecting. Dogs don't smile. The dog still had it's tail between it's legs. Trying to hide it's scent coming from the anus. That's a fear response.
this is so true, ive found using the words can make me project the action, which the dog does pick up and follows. Some people dont do this and will have nervous actions while trying to tell the dog "its ok". Hes right.
@@thereaper89 it understands the noise and behaviour expected when that noise is heard which is different to understanding the meaning of a word! But again body language and tone of voice communicate just as much if not more than the noises we assign to behaviour we wish the/our/your dog to carry out
@@clackstaclicky890 in the US or at least where we are they are a category of breeds called the bulky breeds and a staffy is part of that. That group is sadly over represented in shelters, given away in parking lots, in sidewalks and busy traffic corners. They’re also “banned” in many housing complexes etc.
Dogs and children are not the same. But they both thrive on the same things: consistency, clear rules/expectations, and positive reinforcement. It’s hard to not humanize dog emotions but remember they crave direction and leadership. It’s just up to us how to show them!!
We are so stuck with my very over nervous grand dog. We do all the extreme treats, clearing our minds and being very calm and confident training. He now holds his urine and poops so he doesn’t need to go outside it is heartbreaking. We have now tried medication (Prozac). I don’t see a big difference yet and I am so frightened that this medication will actually hurt him.
No. “Pushing them through their fears” causes way more issues than it solves. In behavior it’s called “flooding” and MAY occasionally work but generally causes the behavior being modified to get worse. Now they are scared of whatever it is they were uncomfortable with and anxious that you will force them into that situation when it is presented to them inhibiting their ability to overcome whatever the issue may be. The best thing to do is be patient, work within the dogs threshold and then offer positive reinforcement as incremental progress is made. Being a confident leader for your dog doesn’t mean forcing them to do things they don’t like or are unfamiliar with. It means paying attention to what your dog is telling you and going from there.
So, not to be that guy but this is good advice that spreads to people as well. If people are unsure about something, showing confidence in a situation makes people less stressful.
I've owner trained both of my service dogs and I do neither. I get excited when my dogs get scared, especially if they are afraid of an object or a noise. They both know the "paws up" and "go sniff" command, so if they are unsure or scared of something, I'll ask them to do either of those things after I inspect the object first. I like saying "what is that???" in a very energetic voice. Sometimes I start bouncing around like a caveman seeing fire for the first time and I make a lot of excited noises. It makes my dogs excited and happy to see new weird things, now my service dog puts his paws up on EVERYTHING that is new to him, and his tail wags like crazy while he looks at me. If you ever see a short emo twink with neon green hair making odd noises in public with a service dog, you are probably looking at me. I'm getting my next prospect in 3 weeks and he is a standard poodle, I can't wait to start acting like a baboon again.
The poor dogs I have had over the years. Loved heaps but not led by me, I am a cat lady, I didn't have a clue. I doubt I will ever have another dog but I love learning the right way to lead them calmly.
Honestly people are the same. A good partner will help a more anxious partner by showing gentle confidence and giving the unsure person time to process.
Thank you!, I have 3 texas rescue brothers pitbull/pharaoh hound mixes who all act like this. I feel horrible, if I didn't know better they look like they've been abused. I've had them since September last year at 6mths of age. They're getting better but not sure if they'll ever be confident. Not giving up but very long process. Never had dogs act like this before..
Humans can do this too during football or basketball players are always making eye contact winking double blinking etc without saying anything they know what play to play by hand signs or simple looks
So true! I can literally tell my dog to do anything or go anywhere and he understands me. If I tell him to find me a toy and he doesn’t see one in the room we’re in, I just tell him “go look in __ for it” and he’ll go straight to that room and find it. People are always shocked by how much he understands me but it’s simply me having always talked to him like a normal person and not “baby talk” him.
I always talk to my dogs well I have a little chihuahua now and she’s the best very obedient but what he’s doing is absolutely correct there working off your senses and if you get scared they get scared etc . I’m a combat vet and don’t really get scared like I used to been in worse situations. My wife n daughter panic there was a scary dog trying to attack ours and I told her calm down pick her up and walk away walk don’t run just relax where ok We’ll get through this just listen to me
