German Shepherd Training / Fixing reactivity and repairing bad training

okay so what he has a prong collar on him you said okay tell me all the issues little stress and fun thing okay now that's the last thing you could have on him is that prom collar the worst single - first of all I hope you I hope you have a secure on him with some kind of fastener okay that's dangerous because those things snap off all the time okay so we have to start off correctly okay let me see you walk in and he'll what is it that's no good either now and and and if you this is gonna be very difficult because you don't have the correct tools on him and this becomes dangerous you have to have some kind of fastener on that he's always pulling like that so if you go to a new place anything new go ahead and put him up and play sports over there after I see where he's at we'll get him secured with something a little safer on there okay so what I wanted to see why I wanted you to wait in the car is because I want to see I can tell right away where you guys are at when you get out of the Jeep okay so first thing he did was like most people do he gets out goes to the ground pulls you where he wants to go and you just let him go sniffing Pete these little things that's good that he did all that stuff bad because when we change all these little things you're gonna see a big difference walk him again that way please okay II just like this how we always is if there's distractions around so what we'll do here now is uh let me see you sit them and down them and just all the basic things like that's okay we want wheat there I want to see you I don't want you to hide them from I want you to see him do it with the distractions okay okay now why the prong collar why was that your choice another trainer all right yeah how's that working out okay all right well we'll do Angela something safe to put on him so he can't slip out okay so you're filming name okay you just hand them off to me the thing I wanted to see like he did with you the bullying and everything so before we even move any further with him he's got to learn he's gonna stay with me we're not gonna do anything we're not gonna go forward until I stop all that movement okay everything I just want him relaxed every time we're coming towards you he's going to want to pull okay right there there is no going to the grass okay so let me ask you do you have a release command free dog sometimes I started out with okay and I don't know that that really worked I've tried free dog like when we walk around the lake not as specific that's a problem because when he got out and I could tell within the first ten seconds where we're at hmm if he doesn't have a release command how is he supposed to know how to be in command someday we'll start working on that we're gonna jump right into the training now I just wanted to get a feel for him a little bit and now we'll start now won't start all the other stuff but we have to slow him down a little doing everything so I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hold the remote explain to me his past experience with the e-collar okay no names or Nothing just tell me how he has experienced it one time okay no training no nothing with the e-collar on now I'm almost at the highest level and people wonder why they want to ban the tools but yet when I bitch about this stuff there's people out there they say I'm full of and people don't do that that's why I have such an issue with it so today we're gonna change that around we're gonna do complete opposite you got food on on you there now right okay so we're gonna completely change his perception and start the teaching today you'll never experience that here as a matter of fact chances are he'll never see that kind of level again on the each other no matter what's going on because he will respond to low levels so all I want you to do from here Angela is when I say now does he have a marker word yes yes okay when I say now I all I want you to do is you're gonna hear me tap hopefully the people there could hear the sound box actually I'm a little bit and so when you hear the sound box I want you to say yes and reward that's it nothing else okay all right you ready okay just when I when you hear it that means I'm tapping he collar and he's feeling it and now he's on a number five on the mini educator okay sorry about the unprofessional footage but we're on our own here today okay you ready yes good and we got the kids across the street so he's distracted so we like to do this okay so try to get him in front of you if you can't set yourself up in a better position okay stop right there good good good so see he's feeling that number five on a mini educator relax just relax okay no tension relax so totally distracted I'd rather do this without distractions but don't give it to him that smart style put that piece of food in the palm of your hand put your thumb on it okay present it to him like that make him push into it a little bit all right here comes a jogger okay see so once he sees a jogger here comes a jogger that's it he goes into that zone and there's no attempt and he chases your horses right it goes after your horses and dad okay okay there go the I scary right yes okay we're gonna fix that I promise you just put it there just give it to them right away when you hear that mark and yes right to face will fix all the little things later okay don't give them an option okay all right you say yes put it in his face and give us home yes good one more time I'm gonna get right to it okay now this is what you're gonna do Angela all right this is gonna be easy cuz he's gonna pull ahead of you anyway going up that way all right so you're gonna start walking that way I just want you to hold the end of the leash and you don't let him go okay you're gonna start going that way when I say now I just want you to turn 180 degrees and walk back this way every time I say now you just turn and walk the opposite direction not saying nothing to him not doing anything okay away from him so you're gonna just turn to your right okay go ahead go stuff give them the end of the leash start walking now now good I want you to relax put that leash in their left hand and just relax okay if you relax he'll calm down now good now I just want him to experience as a okay follow me every time you feel this okay now good all right that's okay now I we put that arm down I want you to really relax okay I want you to make believe he's not with you all right now you see how much now he's looking starting to look at you a little bit Angela turn now it's good no tension you take the tension off the leash you relax it's going to help them a great deal very very good I want you I want natural Angela okay now it's good very good good job Angela now he's paying attention to you stop right there good just relax now okay just relax okay now stand in front of him again when you hear it yes and reward very good no Petsmart fingers that's how you lose your fingers okay all these little things matter alright very good they come this way let's see very good good now don't reach in your ear pouch until after you say yes so yes and then reach okay which arms down relax good good job Angela now he's starting to look at your eyes right now he's paying a little more attention to you all right very good now this is what you're gonna do this will be a little more difficult don't worry about it if you fall or anything we'll take it out now I just want you walk in that way Angela and when I say now you're just gonna back straight up don't rush you don't have to go fast take your time we're just gonna get a little distance so you're just gonna back straight up and the second he turns to come to you I'm gonna be working the e-collar you're gonna say yes the second he turns to come to you market and reward okay come on we'll mess this up a couple times but that's okay now good make sure you call him to you okay yeah and you know it's not a big deal if you don't it's all right link um as you back up if you don't that's okay to go the other way and do it now yeah good job better you could take that leash out from under his legs and you could hold it to where it's not under there just don't put any tension on it okay all right good job Angela very good go let's do that a couple more times out perfect now make sure you mark it good go the other way just make sure you mark as soon as he turns to come your way okay now good job Angela that's okay people start thinking okay it's normal okay this is your very very first time for a couple of minutes into it and he got out in a really bad way but to be honest with you I love to see that Angela because there are so many things wrong right from the start the second we changed that he gets better okay he's already had a bad experience with it so you were set up to fail period we've got a very reactive powerful dog the Brawn collar went on worst possible tool in this situation and then you set them up with no training and lit his ass on fire again worst possible scenario okay not fair to the dog we're going to fix that this will be a piece of cake I promise you it ain't gonna even be an effort so hold the very end of the leash okay and just give him the end of it you could move around a little bit okay yeah good that's how he's supposed to look so now we could start the training okay now he's starting to look at you he's experiencing the e-collar nothing like he had before okay so this will be very very simple now okay very very simple right from there call them to you market and reward good so there was no e-collar there okay good job very good turn and go that way and when I say now just turn to your right now I had a girl good job I just want him starting to follow you very nice Angela very very nice see this makes it a lot easier now we could start now the link is gonna be fine very very fast not an issue good and just stop right there good he looks at you market and reward if he gives you eye contact good job just make sure I don't want you holding the food okay keep your hand down he gives you eye contact mark reward and mark it and then go in the bag just stand right there call him to you a little slower with the hand going in the pouch I want you to wait after you mark it okay okay just stand there good attagirl now no e-collar no nothing just let him start focusing on you he gives you eye contact mark and reward very good Angela very good perfect see nothing has to be rushed we have patients and we're gonna make this very enjoyable for him okay very very nice so just go for a walk now nice walk I had a girl good job and you relax okay Angela good job very nice that's how it's supposed to look and feel turn and go the other way good and you just go you don't wait for him you don't accommodate him so that's 15 minutes 20 put him back on your left you don't let him cross over okay now relax good you decide where he goes turn and go the other way much better very nice so no e-collar used there no prong collar used there just starting to get in tune with him okay that's exactly what I want to see very nice job lady good job okay so since he's gonna be by your side another way you can get a little distance to call him to you so I want you to take a little piece of food okay one of his treats show it to him make sure he knows you have it and don't do it until I tell you to okay so what you're gonna do Angela is you're gonna just throw it over that way where he could see it but don't throw it farther than the leash I don't want him taking off and dragging you into my my karate it's just gonna get him away from you as soon as he gets there to pick it up you're gonna give him the recall link come okay as soon as you hear the sound box actually that's when you're gonna call him to you mark and reward okay go ahead let's give it a shot come market quicker okay and that throw I tell people all the time don't be a dry fart but you you just or a dry fart bubble that popped up your back crap well you know what that was my fault because I was just bragging about your nice calm energy and nose and that's row is slow-motion people are gonna say why is he showing this in slow motion you can give them a little more distance to that okay to the end of the leash good job otherwise but what I want you to do Angela is the second he turns market because what that mark does it's not just letting him know you know that he did what you want or it's not just the word we use for fun if he knows the marker word the reason I use it in the beginning as soon as he turns that marker will build speed he knows something's good coming he's supposed to turn and come flying to you and here's the mark where you understand what I'm saying okay now let's let's try that really exciting throw one more time go ahead he's got to see it show it to him do it again put a little Dow put a little energy into it now I want you moving with him okay now make him a little excited show it to him let him go get it help them out walk to it now back up okay okay all right I want some of that weed you just smoke because that's gotta be so good that's okay actually that calmness about you is what got his stuff no that's okay that's okay that's nothing nothing wrong with that but you see what I'm saying when you're working at home if you had can because we do the four things with the conditioning phase right calling him to you we did the turnabout we did the momentum back but I'll go all over that because I'm going to work with you before you go okay and I'm gonna work with him a little bit too so don't worry see if you have any interesting [Music] see so it's not about one tool it's not about nothing we have to bring out the best in him so we have to find what he loves and use it when he comes here I want him to be happy and looking forward to it that's what that's what we want to avoid Lee all right thanks yeah yeah that's my boy that's my boy and look I got a new friend [Music] work there come on boy darling yeah boy where's that one there it is yeah see now we got now he's money now we can start the real work yes you big lug your big one good now he's bringing it to me right thanks BIA so now why worked opposite here normally I do this with the people first but because of how jacked up he was I wanted to get into it so now what we're gonna do who's Miss Angela is gonna feel the heat collar and I'm gonna do everything with her that we're doing with the dog you guys have the sound box so she could hear it as well as feel it and everyone else get here so we'll go through through the different ways we're going to conditioned him this week okay then I'm gonna hold it and you're gonna work me so any mistakes you're making I feel we make from mistakes on me make sense put that in the palm of your hands okay all right now hold it now when you feel it don't move it because if you move it just like on the dogs okay you're gonna feel it less are you gonna feel a more not at all so once you remove it don't the first thing I'm gonna do is you have to feel at the highest level it's it don't let it knock you down okay do you need to hold me you have to feel what it's like okay you ready go again no you're not gonna we're gonna start just like with the dogs finding your level okay so you tell me when you feel something I'm not looking at the numbers I don't care okay you felt that you're very sensitive you're a princess your own intent so that's very low so don't move it feel that right okay that's what one and wink felt that lower than that okay he was halfway there he was on a five attain is actually very low for a person here it's a feeling hold the end of the leash now you're the dog okay we're gonna call you link these this is the mechanics I just want you to understand the timing so if he's away from you we're practicing the reef all right remember I don't care about the obedience or the commands what I care about is in learning what this means on super low levels that's it all week long super low levels we're not dialing up we're not correcting them for anything we're not punishing the e-collar is only going to do for the low levels make sense so you feel it there so what we're gonna do first you have your food on you you do it where there's no distractions if possible so you're gonna press it and you're gonna hold a continuous body weight yes the second moves toward you you release the body you mark it you reach in your pouch you see okay again yes you feel it make sense yeah I want you using his name right now to wink calm okay very very simple now the other thing we did where you hold on to that all right you're on my left what I had you doing walk with me walk with me your turn okay you're walking with them that's not okay that was the signing of that right as I'm turning make sense you understand that the other thing I had you doing was using momentum to get away from him he's gonna stick at your side so if you're walking straight together all you have to do is back straight up and you're creating some distance already okay so that one went just like this you're here we're walking walk fast with me walking fast link um yes make sense let's do it again all we're doing is using our forward momentum walk fast um yes okay so even if he's sticking at your side you're going to get enough space in there so we're you you build a little bit of distance and he practices earning income okay now the other thing you can do you can do this two ways okay you can say link come that yes with the command with the e-collar after the command but what I prefer to do leave which seems to work better is no command okay a little bit of leash pressure yes okay now right away they're starting to learn without the command that's happening follow me yes now I gave you four different things right you can do whatever he gives you alright so if he's stuck at your side you're gonna be doing the turnabout's and using the momentum if he's not if he gives you some distance then we're practice when we call does that make sense alright let's see how much sense it makes you're gonna now I'm the dog all right so top button it's on continuous okay right so now I'm the dog I want you to put your arms down I don't want you here he's not a TV right I just want you to relax just remember it if you're like this you're tense okay so now I'm away from you you're practicing you're using it with the repo go now you see as simple as this is it's easy to mess up people that's why you make the mistakes on me we don't make the mistakes on the dog we do it this way so she can make all the mistakes she wants on me all right so put your arm down I don't want to see it here if it comes here I have to snap it okay snap it all right so you're gonna hold it down blink come the second I come forward you release yes mark and reward okay perfect okay let's do that again yeah perfect nice little leash pressure to guide him you have to remember he doesn't know what this means okay so that's why we combine the leash the verbal command and the e-collar together so if you need to use the leash we're not yanking very gentle pressure that's how he learns you put all three together so he starts to realize okay I know what this weird little thing means do it again okay now I'm gonna throw in a few extra things okay sometimes he's gonna be coming to you and he may stop and be wrong if that's the case again you can you can repeat the command if you want or just tap tap tap okay don't don't stop okay because he's going to do that okay let's do it again [Music] good job and then you do yet you did you can mark it again it doesn't matter he's going to get it very very good okay let's do that one more time very good all right now you're walking me I'm on your left now we're doing the turnabout's okay tap tap tap ok tap tap two times put that arm down don't hold it down your tacit okay yep that's it perfect now use the momentum you're gonna pack straight up and call me don't get okay it's okay it's not wrong I'm just trying to take it slow so you don't think so much let's do that again perfect make sense make sense very very simple okay now without the command I'm hanging over here I'm sniffing you know very simple people overcomplicate this and they want to add these new to business very simple all we care about is teaching him what this means make sense so the only thing he knew about it before was it went on and kicked his ass becomes terrible right from the start that's why they want to ban the tool and I get it I get it you know I get it those people should be bad period they shouldn't be allowed to train dogs okay shouldn't be allowed to train dogs but does this make a little more clarity in your head okay very very simple very simple any questions on this part okay we're not worried about using it with sit right now down place and nothing all we care about is using it to teach him what this means okay and for like a few days to a week then next week we'll start entering the intermittent phase and then we'll start sending them away to the place calling them to us we'll start doing different things okay very nice thanks to you and we did such a good job in our first lesson link is ready to drive back down see great job link
