Zak, one thing I do appreciate about you is that you don't come across as a "Know-it-all" trainer but more like a scientist experimenting with what does and does not work for each individual dog. I think it gives us non-professionals the reassurance that as long as we are working with love and patience we don't have to follow a "formula" to the letter and still get good results.

Still watching because Chop is gorgeous and I am curious as to what his breed or mix will end up being, but the clickbait titles, over the top advertisements and "shocking" teasers are getting to be a bit much.

Gökçe Başaran

My guess is gsd, husky, anatolian.

Every darn time I see Inertia with that dog in the dog park I feel that I must reiterate - Inertia was in the right! That darn dog bulldozed her and scared the living daylight out of her! At least that makes me remember to give my own dog lots of positive interactions with big dogs, too!

The issue is that other dogs can be expected to sometimes do that, and her reaction wouldn't necessarily have gone over well with all dogs.

This is definitely a mix between Alaskan Malamute and German Shepard. Watching the show, my wife and I were repeating it’s the same look and feels has ours. Shedding, Pulling… We had an Alaskan Malamute for about 16 years and started the process again. MiskaLuna is 9 months old and looking forward to your training tips. Really intelligent dog, but so stubborn! 😂 By the way, we live in Costa Rica, quite a different climate as Alaska. But nice climate up in the mountain here, not to warm for her.

I had a pure bred Malamute growing up. She was really a sweet, gentle giant. She shed ridiculously. We'd sit for 20 minutes and pull clumps of fur out of her, especially as summer approached.

ok zak and bree my guess is that he's got some karelian bear dog in him. he certainly is fierce! really loving the dog reactivity lessons...it's been a year and a half journey with mine and we are slowly closing the distance gap..

I haven't had a dog for years, but have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos with my morning cup of tea. So much so that my new rescue dog, Bongo, will be moving in with me next week! One thing that has occurred to me is that we see you using lots of different leads, collars, and harnesses, but you don't talk about them much. Would you consider doing a video about the equipment you use to help train all these lovely dogs?

David Lucy

I’m liking this reality dog training ideas you have. I like seeing that my dog not behaving perfect while training is normal unlike some training clips that show a perfectly trained dog/puppy doing routines almost flawlessly is often not reality and can make viewers feel less than adequate or successful and could lead to them just giving up on looking to achieve a highly trained companion.

Anna Collins

I have noticed that Chop behaves almost just like my dog when I first got him. The pulling on the leash, the over-excitement when seeing another dog, escape artist, etc.. This is a good reminder for me of how much my sweet boy has changed in the last 8 months.

Kyhic75

3y↑37

His tail makes me think Chop's got some Akita in him. Seasonal shedding would also account for the fur. 🤔

One things for sure, I'm sure you've got great upper body strength after filming this series!

Beachie

3y↑1

Akita is a good call. Might be some Anatolian shepherd in there to get those ears and the smoother coat.

KCAT WIL

3y↑3

YES!! I've been thinking there is some Akita in there too, because of the more square face and nose. Malamute or Canadian Eskimo for coloring and size. Some type of Shepherd or maybe Malinois because of the darker face? and something else for the floppy ears :)

Moreth the Mad

3y↑4

Most likely Alaskan Malamute Mix, he looks just like our boy that passed away a while ago, who's dad was a full Alaskan Malamute and his mom was a Shepherd Bullterrier mix.

Anvime

3y↑5

Yeah. He keeps make me think Akita x German shepherd but he could easily have malamute

Kyennalla_ _

3y↑1

by the sheer size of him I'm guessing he has Malamute, I have no idea the odds but my best guess would be Malamute, Husky, some type of Shepherd, maybe Akita and potentially wolf. I do suspect you have a wolf-dog on your hands

I cant wait to see Chop at the end of this series! He looks like quite a special guy!

Chop is such an amazing, strong willed dog. His raw excitement for life and all the adventures that are coming his way remind me of my first dog. She caused me a nubmer of nasty plam burns but everyday we had together was completely worth it. I hope Chop will find his human, who's going to appreciate this as well.

Kim Dahlquist

Chop with his flippy ear... TOO CUTE! 😄 I think he's doing great considering that this is all new to him. You guys are so patient in they way you deal with him, and I love hearing you encourage and praise him. Keep up the good work... Chop is 1 day closer to being a well trained dog. 😊👍

Andrea

My dog acts exactly like Chop when she sees other dogs. She's fine with our other dog but is just a bulldozer with other dogs. She makes going for walks miserable and she's very reactive. I know she just wants to play but it's awful. This gave me some hope and good tips.

Chop is totally one of the kinds of dogs I love best. He clearly thinks for himself. He doesn't seem to give a hoot for random people one way or another. He clearly loves other dogs, maybe a bit more than ideal but it's so much better than fearing them. He's expressive, if a little on the subtle side at times. He's large, powerful, and floofy. All pros in my book. If I didn't have three already I would probably be applying to adopt him by now.
I liked to work on leash manners with all the biggest of the shelter dogs and a bungee leash will really help out your shoulder joints. You counter the stretch with your arm muscles to keep it from rewarding pulling with forward motion by pulling back as it stretches. It is still a workout, but no jerks on the shoulder or the dog.

We have a Romanian Rescue who reminds me so much of this beautiful boy! Same size, always alert, always ready to pounce - I am curious to see if this boy also has some Kangal - or some other flock guarding dog in him cause he seems to be scanning the environment constantly for incoming people, dogs etc. and with our dog he gets frustrated on lead cause he needs to be the one sniffing the 'intruders' before they come too close (certainly that's the way it seems) We recently boarded our dog with a dog sitter while we were on holiday, this dog sitter never saw a reactive side to our dog because he took him everywhere in the car and then would let him off lead in parks etc. he's never a problem off lead but on lead he can a massive handful and comes across like an insanely aggressive dog :'(

"Maybe you will have the time of your life...Maybe you'll be terrified" ha, ha. you are addressing the problem that many new dog owners have when they adopt a full grown animal. This is a GREAT episode on how to manage behaviors and to stay calm and observe how you can try different training methods/approach) for this particular wild dog. One of the most common mistakes I see is that most dog owners cannot read body language; they may think their dog is "aggressive" when he is just excited and wants to meet. The other common problem I see is that dog owners have to remember they cannot rush a dog into doing anything, esp. if they are new.

Gökçe Başaran

True. Specially stress signals. They say "he's sleepy" when they see their dog yawning while lip picking. Sadly a lof trainers avoids it as well from videos I'm seeing. The see a dog that is forced to suppression and showing a lot stress signals with raised fur and they say "this is beautiful, look at him accepting you as an alpha/leader"... These people staring get huge following lately and this is really concerning.

I had to chuckle at the "pulling is the worst" comment. I'm sitting here watching with a walking boot on my foot, because, on our fourth day with him, our new-to-us dog pulled me off a curb and I broke my foot. 😂

Teardown Dan

My sister got knocked out by a head-bonk from her over-excited GSD a little while ago, also a broken foot two years ago. Excessively excited medium-large breeds come with many more dangers than their bigger jaws.

One of my first walks with Cali, inherited black lab/Whippet, taller and faster version of a lab, she pulled me off my feet late at night and I fell on my arm fortunately on grass and brokeor displaced the floating rib. It was a difficult 4 months because I couldn't stop walking her and I was coming out of 2 years being in bed. She was a wild gal, running free in the woods for 8 years, with a dog door into Dad's cabin. Her partner big Skye was the reason she stayed home. Unfortunately, my bf died, fortunately for me, I got him too, and the 2 of them, a bear dog team, pulled me down many times. Otherwise such a blessing to my life. Cali got very sick, unable to help her, she got put down last Friday. Skye and I are very sad its sure quiet without her. 😢😢💕💔💔💕 She left footprints thru our hearts. 💞💞

My sympathies! One of my rescue GSDs dislocated my shoulder when she went from standing to 100MPH because of OMG!Squirrel! Then my pup got under my feet, tripped me and broke my leg. Dogs. Gotta love 'em. Hope you're out of the cast soon.

This is the same kind of reaction my malamute does when he sees other dogs…over time we have figured out a way to create distance between the incoming dog but it’s still hit or miss. Chop is so cute. Thank you for training him Zak ❤️
BTW - i had bad upper body aches after walking my dog when we just rescued him. He walks great on heel now

Been frustrated with a couple of these dogs before in my learning process as a trainer. This is perfect for helping me explain these management techniques to clients. Love this!

Kenzy Heavilin

the thing that’s hard with training my dog is that there’s really isn’t that many people/dogs for him to get used to so when we go on the wooded trails there are sometimes people and he loses his mind over it.

I can't wait to see results with Mr Chop. He resembles my 8mo Husky on bad days, around other dogs. They love to pull!

I love how patient you are, even when you know we are here watching and wait to see success! It’s so nice to see what it’s really like in these reality training sessions. It makes it easier to stick with it with my own dog. When I see a 10 min. video of a dog going from impossible to perfect, then I try it at home and have a mess, it makes me want to throw up my hands and say my dog is just broken. This is SO helpful because this is my puppy’s park reaction. Lucky for me she’s little. 😆

Jennifer Casey

3y↑2

I love watching all of the series you’ve had so far. I was wondering if you’ve ever thought of doing something with smaller dogs. Perhaps a rescue from a puppymill or a bad situation. A dog who would not overpower you but perhaps has more mental health issues. Just wondering because I know that is the reality with a lot of smaller rescue dogs. I would love to see what you could do in a situation like that.

My dog is not reactive. He gets along with most other dogs (he's scared of intact males because of bad experiences). He does great overall with just about everything. He's just not able to pass another dog relaxed, and he gets nervous when a dog approaches from upfront (which I get, it's not natural for dogs to just go face to face). So he's had bad experiences with off leash intact males while he was leashed, the off leash males would show very intimidating behavior, growl, just overall males that were looking for confrontation with other intact males. This all happened when during his puberty so when he has testosterone going through the roof (he's intact himself), at least that's what other dogs can smell because his hormones were not affecting his behavior negatively, he got along with all dogs before those incidents. Stupid thing is, if only others were responsible, we would not have any problems in first place. Now when he sees one of those dogs that ran up to him off leash, he gets very stressed and scared. Hell freeze, and if they do get too close he'll growl, but he's too scared to go any further than that as he naturally doesn't like confrontations. Mind you, all these off leash males are off leash in a place where dogs should be leashed, there's a literal leash law but we all know the famous 'don't worry he's friendly!' which is basically the sentence that drives every responsible dog owner nuts.

So I'd absolutely love to do the type of training you showed in this video, just going to the park or a busy trail and just let the dog know other dogs are okay and work on his attention on me and overall feel relaxed in the presence of other dogs. But yeah, I'm too scared to do that because of all these stupid owners that let their dogs off leash. It makes training these things absolutely impossible. I have to be on a constant watch out for off leash dogs, and even when I spot one usually it's too late and they come running towards us. I really hate the fact that people like this can own dogs. Just be responsible and leash your dog when's there's a leash law. And we have plenty of places where dogs are allowed off leash, but I think even in a place like that you should not just unleash your dog and let them run up to every other dog, every dog should have a well responsive recall other wise they just shouldn't be off leash, you can't argue that.

Joice Mou

@UCHNDWJ6WU_yAc5pb8K1A-Tg I have to agree with you completely after you explained. You must take responsibility to ensure the safety of not only your dog but other dogs. Fear can result in an attack, it's like the fight or flight respons, since they have had bad experiences with other dogs, htey might be scared and because of that they may snap at the other dogs passing by, but i also do agree even if your dog is nice, you should keep it on leash and it's not a valid excuse for leaving then off leash, bc they may make other dogs scared or they can get attacked or hurt. But i hope they are able to train the dog and get it less scared of those types of dogs so there are less issue in the future.

Joice Mou

I completely agree with you. Even though its rly sad to hear what happened to ur dog, you can do this!!
It will take time and a lot of effort, is there a way you can find another park? I noticed that some parks have more leashed dogs while others have more even though the rule is to have a leash on the dog.
Also timing, Usually early in the mornings where i live, people walk their dog son a leash bc they need to get to work after they take them out, so they don't have time to let them off running around and then chase them back. So thats a good opertunity to train with your dog in the distance. In the evenings there are usually more off leash dogs here, bc ppl get home and then take their dogs out to release all the energy so they can go home and crash for the night. Hopefully this helps! Also finding friedns with dogs that are well rounded and polite dogs can help you train and let ur dog get more comfortable around them. Organize a training session, it could be at a park or somewhere and they could be far away and then get closer etc and u can do many exercises with them until they are comfortable together, it will def take more than 1 session, but little by little u will see improvement! GOOD LUCK! DON'T GIVE UPPP!
ALSOO SRY FOR MY SPELLING AND GRAMMAR!! typing too fast ....

I think Chop might be my favorite dog in your series so far haha he's reacting to those dogs but it doesn't seem aggressive to me. Especially when he flopped on the ground, he looked playful. He is lovely!

This will be a very exciting series! However, his reaction didn’t surprise me at all. The stiff tail position, hyper focusing, all of it told me he was about to react. I hope all the training goes well!

I've enjoyed watching this. I am about to take on a new client who has a large pure bred dog that is reactive outside the home, and who for various reasons is not taken on walks. His walks are a bit of a nightmare and it's a vicious circle. I believe the walks are a nightmare because he doesn't get outside very often, so he reactive, which in turn is why he's not getting walks. I am going to have to break the cycle with baby steps training in the home before taking it outside. From what I gather, his behaviour is somewhat like Chop's lunging and barking. I have yet to the meet the dog so I don't know if the lunging and barking is fear based, or frustration based. It's fairly clear that Chop's reactivity is frustration based because he just wants to meet that other dog! Its always great to watch your videos (which I do send my clients to watch too!) because I can sit there and say stuff like "oh yeah, that's what I would do!" instead of "OMG Noooooooo, don't do that!!"

Anvime

As a trainer how do you teach the reactive dogs to eventually be able to pass another dog while on the leash ignoring them? My local trainer only teaches how to go away from dogs but more often than not (like in this video or at the vet) you have nowhere to go and the dogs must be relatively close to each other.

Jen O

3y↑3

I love seeing how you figure things out with Chop. He sure is ALOT of dog! 💚

Mr.NiceGuy

I'm glad I watched this. This is exactly how my dog is. Used to the wild and not to being leashed. Its been a year working on my dogs behavior (she's a 2year old husky mix) so far so good; however, I am having trouble keeping her confined in our backyard. She'll just jump the fence.

Margarethe König

3y↑6

What is the difference (in the dogs view) from a correction (punishment) and management (in situations, like in the park)? I think, in the dogs view there is no difference, because you are keeping him from doing what he wants, in that moment.

I try to train as positive as I can, but sometimes it is really hard. Like Chop, my dog does not take treats when we are in public (most of the time in new environments). It was worse in the beginning and becomes better everytime we are out, but I hardly ever reward him with treats or toys in public. So I have to keep him from acting stupid, but I think sometimes he does not get what I am trying to tell him.

Are there any studies regarding the dogs point of view? Not only sientific data about 'how quickly can a human and a dog get to the humans desired outcome', but something about 'how does the dg feel during training'?

Thanks for the great videos. I watch them all the time and see them as a great ressource. ^_^

No Thanks

3y↑6

@Linda S by that logic by shutting the door as my dog tries to rush out first time to teach him he cannot do that is abusive. life is not stress free, they're animals they can cope with a small amount of discomfort for safety and trust to be built.
my dog used to hate being brushed / being left alone / wanting to rush out and play, now he knows it's expected and to deal with it.

cbcdesign001

3y↑1

I dont punish a dog for a reaction to a situation, it has to be taught to cope with them. Punishment is just abusive. I create distance so they are below threshold then reward behaviour that I want to encourage. If we are too close and the dog goes nuts that's not the dogs fault. Personally I treat the dog for a couple of reasons. 1. it tells me something about his state of mind (if he eats he is receptive and not too distracted or over threshold) and 2, if he looks at a dog then looks away at me without reacting I want to encourage that behaviour then distance can be decreased over time.

Linda S

3y↑5

I know of MRI studies done on dogs which show brain states when they are confronted with familiar cues and unfamiliar ones. Pretty interesting stuff. They indicate "stress" when asked to do things they haven't learned.
For what it's worth in my opinion correcting a dog harshly when you haven't taught him what's expected is abusive. Pulling him away from what he wants and keeping him calm is not. There was no "training" in this video only research to see what training needs to be done.

Bette Lovelace

Chop looks very strong.. he never eased up when walking.. I know you gotta be sore💜

Emma Donnelly

My boy took a lot of work to get him not to pull on the leash, had a broken rib last year from him pulling me over. He still reacts to many other dogs, even more so than Chop did, it is super hard to take him for any kind of long walk because of this. We are still working on it and I'm very keen to see how and what you do with Chop.

Thank you so much for showing how to work with a very dog focussed, friendly dog!! This is super useful for me in training my puppy, who loves to sit and watch other dogs constantly on walks, and will bound up at the last second to play.

Thank you for also including that you spent 3 hours just getting him used to being calm, it helps to have a realistic understanding that results are not instant. Excited to try these methods with my puppy this afternoon and keep at them for as long as it takes until he reliably walks on by other dogs. Feeling like I can work with my dog in a more confident, well informed and patient way.

My Loki was like this with other dogs when I had him, 3 months of avoiding dogs, going out late etc I finally got a trainer who took him out and found he was lovely with other dogs, turned out all the lunging and barking was built up frustration of being kept away by his previous owners. Chop has been out on the streets probably used to meeting other dogs so I hope his reaction turns out to be the same, he's a lovey dog

Charleigh Simmons

I have been watching your videos since inertia was a puppy (when I got my puppy) and I am so excited to see how you work with chop. He looks just like my pup who turns out to be a Great Pyrenees, Alaskan malamute, and German Shepard mix. She’s very hyperactive and reactive which I have been struggling with heavily. Thank you for doing what you do

Tiffanee

I think he might have a little husky in him. I have 2 husky mixes and 1 full-blooded husky pup and the shedding is unreal! Two of them have little curls in their tails as Chop does and one curls all the way to his back. I am so excited for this series and to watch him blossom into the well-behaved, good man he is capable of. I think he will be just as rewarding as George if not more. :)

Maria Zdru

Hi Zak. Thank you so much for all the series you posted, but especially this one. I rescued 2 malamutes a few months ago and one of them behaves exactly like this and my challenge was to find a way to reward using the environment because she seems alot more interested in the environment then the treats when outside .

What episode where Inertia reacts to bicycles? My dog growls and lunges at bicycles and I've had the worst time training her to ignore them.

Beautiful dog. His reactive behavior is similar to my adult rescue dog. Especially with the unpredictability. Really curious to see how you get to him being able to consistently pass other dogs very closely without using some kind of correction in training.

Voodoo Rezt

3y↑1

uhm, im getting stressed out watching this :O very passive leadership and 2 intense socialization for that dog currently.. Take it slower!

Tip regarding the fur, i guess hes neuterd.. eggyolk and omega 3-6 oil. we give 1 yolk a day and oil 3 times a day after about 2-4 weeks he should stop shedding that amount. He gets super good food iknow but neuterd dogs need almost twice the amount unneuterd dogs need + the way all living things work is that we can only absorb a certain amount minerals and neutrients every few hours. we feed our dog 3 times a day and he is 3,7 y/o. shedded like crazy, now its all fine! before we could brush him 6 times a day and end up with enuf coat to make 6 more dogs.. now the brush gets a few hairs, and his coat is super soft and thick.

Thank you for showing the management! I feel like most videos I see about reactive dogs training leave it out. But I live in an apartment, I don't have a car, I have to deal with a lot of situations where I have nowhere to go and my dog is reacting. It's very good to see how trainers handle the dog in this situation.

I'd bet he's part malamute. Good luck! My malamute/husky is now almost 16 months and boy is he a handful. Even though I've been working on attention on me in public since he was 8 weeks old he still forgets I exist (doesn't even care about offered steak) if he sees a dog he wants to interact with. A very intelligent breed that picks up on training very quickly. However, unlike working breeds that are human focused like border collies and German shepherds, they are not drill dogs so proofing behaviour can be hard. They will prove they can do what you want them to do a couple times and then want to move on. Very short (5 min) engaging training sessions multiple times a day are key. I think it's important to think about the work they were bred to do. While a musher/human handler gives overall direction its the lead dog who makes the basic decisions about the track to take over possibly dangerous terrain 20 ft ahead from where the human is. They had to be smart, strong, and independent. But also wonderfully friendly and family oriented and they make terrible guard dogs (beyond simply being large and intimidating-looking).

He did quite well for such a high stimulating environment , really did seem to calm

I rescued a 4 month old pit bull who only knew roaming the streets of a small town. He acts just like this dog so it was really nice to see I’m not alone with his reactive ness towards other dogs. Desensitizing is hard but I do my best, and I definitely think I underestimated the little steps it takes

Casey A.

Hi Zak, have you made a video talking about what harness, leash, waist belt you use? Your set up looks so secure and I would like to have something similar but am not sure where to start. I've tried finding a leash with a handle like yours but can't find one. I also want to ensure whatever I buy holds up because my dog is a similar size and super strong. Thank you! :D

My dog acts just like Chop around other dogs on walk when on leash, on dog park she is calm. Sometimes its hard to try to control enviroment cause living in city. I try to take distance always but cant always. At home she follows me and listen, but outside she is just like Chop, my dog is as big too, so interesting watching this, I have your book and learned alot, still enjoying this.

Zak, having very similar issues with my foster this week. very encouraging to see you working through similar issues

What a handsome dog! He looks a little bit like mine (with droopy ears), she’s a mix between Alaskan malamute and Czechoslovakian wolfdog. She’s super intelligent, curious, independent, loyal, gorgeous dog but she’s also incredibly stubborn and energetic. Training was hard and time consuming (and still is) but soooo worth it, it’s amazing the type of bond you can have with a dog like this, I wouldn’t change her for anything in the universe. Thanks Zak for your wisdom, we owe you a lot for teaching us how to train her through your videos. Can’t wait for the next chop episode

I too am curious to find out the results of the DNA test.
This particular video shows exactly how my own dog reacts to other dogs. Of course my dog isn't a large powerful beast like Chop which is just as well because I'm disabled. Since my small pooch would be lunch meat if he were to react negatively to the wrong dog, it's important for me to do what I can to help him learn to be calm and quiet around other dogs. Distance is definitely my friend for now.

@Gökçe Başaran ( https://youtu.be/z0qKWIfIoc8 ) heres a video of him walking 5 dogs doing his method. it helps reactive dogs , he does the "pre correction" and "the fake out ok" . check out his other videos for his door method too

@14 14 the intro is such a red flag tho.

Gökçe Başaran

@Anvime For reactivity you need highest value if treats and if your dog doesn't accept it that means you are too close and need to create more distance. Also I'm seeing a lot if trainers that specialized on reactivity use decoy dogs as toy dogs at first. They put a leash on the toy dog and someone holding it while you work with your dog. Find tutorials of "engage - disengage" game. This is what you do whether you train with positive or balanced. Also decompression and enrichment is a lot more important than training when you have a reactive dog. It tooks 3 days for cortisol (stress hormone) to return to normal levels. So after a reaction/stressful/fearful moment, it's best to wait 3 days and decompress before returning to the training. Also dog park is a big no no.

@14 14 Thanks. She is usually too distressed to acept treats or play as a reward. The problem is that I dont have any friends with dogs that can help or dog parks here so i can only train her the few times we encounter dogs

Not taking treats when outside the house? He is just like my Coco then. Petting, and access to the environment or things is his reward.

Thanks for sharing Zak, Chop is very similar to my 2 year old excitable GSD, wants to play and leash frustration. I definitely want to make more time for this 'screensaver/desensitisation' training, but in England we have the added 'challenge' of off lead dogs and most areas in England people let dogs off lead, even in the very few 'on lead' areas like national parks, which has put our training back I don't know how many times. It looks like a lot of areas in your videos people adhere to being onlead but any tips you can share for dealing with 'unruly' off lead dogs would be great.

Is the dog he's reacting to at 5:48 a leonberger?
Chop, you are doing great, keep on working hard. ❤️

Looks like Chop wants to play with these other dogs and tries to get their attention as much as he can 😃 . ( But Inertia's behaviour was - from what is seen on videos - absolutely normal and no overacting at all . Natural dogs interacting . )

I think you're right about Malamute. Did you say you are having his dna tested? May I ask why you are limited to 2 weeks training? Seems to be very stressful to try and get it all done that fast, especially since all dogs are different. He sure is beautiful!

Richard Cope

Enjoying this series so far, as I do all your series. Wonder if you can touch on a couple of questions? First, how do you and Bree handle it when people approach, maybe with their own dogs? I assume seeing the camera and you being well known draws people in? Second, if Chop is a type of sled dog mix does having him in a harness where the leash is hooked to his back encourage pulling since this is how a sled dog would be harnessed? So glad you are working with a dog like Chop because my rescued lab reacts on a leash the way Chop is reacting and it is difficult to walk him where other dogs may be.

Rachel Showard

You should look into musher terms so you can teach chop terms that he most likely will need up there

I’m still worried about the leap from the balcony! Did I miss a video? Is he ok?? That was scarier than any rollercoaster 😱

Im not sure if this has already been asked or answered, but the harness that Chop is wearing looks awesome, I would love to know where its from!

He looks a little like my dog, which is Siberian husky/ German shepherd.
And yes they can pull.

I love these series!!! Thank you!! My pup's first time out in public went great.. I pulled her around in my sons' wagon on our walks until she got all her shots. The first time walking her around our townhouse community went badly. There was a dog reactive boxer on one of my neighbor's patios..and I didn't know he was, he jumped up when we walked by and was barking and shaking the gate, my pup stopped, crouched down, showed her teeth and barked, then peed and started running. I followed her, and after we calmed down, I tried walking her on the opposite side of the pathway where the dog doesn't react..and she was hesitant.. she started pulling back on the leash so I just stood there as an anchor and let her work through it..after a minute or so, she came walking over to me slowly, and I gave her a treat(her kibble,) which she accepted.. so I knew she wasn't in that fear stage because she accepted food! I walked her to the end of the pathway and back again..then went home. Later that day I saw the boxer wasn't on the patio, and I walked her by in the same manner I had before because she was timid again..and I let her smell the neighbor's gate, told her yes, and treated her.. she overcame the fear quickly..and I knew to look for that dog from then on so we didn't have that scare again.. Now we can walk by(she's 10 months,) the dog barks, etc and my dog ignores it..

Loving this series with Chop so far. I'm following along with my rescue dog Brandi a happy & playful 2 year old 68 lb staffy/fox hound mix. She's a strong leash puller and reactive to just about everything - dogs, people, squirrels and birds. Friendly and energetically playful with dogs and people but nonetheless, reactive and strong. I'd love to get to the point where I can take her hiking with me. Desensitization training up for this week.

Chop is more like my koolie x Border Collie than Moira and George are!! My girl was this "wild" but it was always happy excited. She got severely traumatised almost a year ago and completely shut down so then my training turned to desensitising to noise and rebuilding her trust in people- THAT LEAN. My dog will do that to not just me, but people she knows or even new people. That lean is "I trust you - you are my hooman". I don't read it as dominance, I'm glad you didn't. 11months post trauma, she relies heavily on calming supplements and she's flipping back to her old self (like chop) But easier to manage on a halti. I recently bought a dual leash harness to try but she turns into a sled dog and her 20kg turns into 50kg strength. My dog also wouldn't accept treats either on walks until she did - keeping her under threshold. But now she does sit and gobble down treats as she learns to ignore cars but "just looking" at passers by. She's friendly but OTT either excited of timid depending onsituations. Watching this today - made me feel better about my approach to training my dog. It's getting easier. But that lean.....as my dog heals she leans on me less. I call them side-butt-hugs.

Max Stim

Just side tame him already. Show him whose ALPHA

Daria Rylkova

Not teaching this dog to properly walk on a collar is just a safety issue for the new owners as well as the people/dogs they walk past. Plus, getting the new owners to do pulling sports with the dog where he is allowed to pull on a harness, would be a great outlet

Chris C

My dog pretty much does the same thing as Chop when she sees other dogs on walks. She's met other dogs on and off leash before and has never shown aggression but if she sees a dog while we are on a walk she "freaks out" just like that.. Looking forward to seeing if you can make any progress......
