"1 THING" WORKS WHEN TREATS FAIL.
If you have a herding breed dog that canāt control himself if a bird flies overheadā¦
Your treat and ball WILL NOT get your dogās attention.
This is a common problem with herding breed dogs. They desperately need to control that movement, it is what they are bred to do.
Many will give BAD ADVICE.
* Itās teenage years, the dog will grow out of it. That is total rubbish. Itās natural instinct and dogs to not loose that instinct with age.
* Teach a leave it cue. Again, thatās a waste of time. The dog is not going to hear you as it is racing away and it is not going to come back if it means all the fun ends.
* Use higher value treats. Swap to raw chicken. Well again, you will be disappointed. The fact is the bird or rabbit is way more fun than your piece of food. Adrenaline will cause your dog to lose all interest in food.
* Use a ball. Well maybe for the rare dog that is obsessed with a ball, you might stand a chance. What about that day you do not have a ball. Then what?
There is one sure fired approach that is guaranteed to work.
Use the birds as the reward. Just as sheep are used for the farm dog.
If you struggle with gaining control of your dog, our program focuses on solving these challenging behaviours.
It is designed with the working and herding breeds in mind.
The truth is it works for all breeds.
Here is a link that explains more about the program

And here is a short video that shows how you can be in control when a bird appears.
I have returned from a very enjoyable walk with my two dogs. Buddy was once a nightmare to take for a walk. He would leap, lunge and bark at every noise and movement.
For about three months, I purposely took him to a different location every day and played two specific games from the PATHWAY. One had the purpose of keeping him just under threshold. The other is the Reactive Dog Game while alters the emotional response so the dog chooses to remain calm in all situations.
Do you use your leash for control... or is it your safety net?

Does your dog go crazy when you mowed the lawn. Is it running around and trying to grab the wheels while barking it's head off.
It is such a dangerous practice.

Does your dogās BARKING drive you nuts?
Barking is a behaviour that has a purpose. Getting attention; Raising an alarm; Feeling lonely; Boredom; Worry; Stress relief; the list goes on.
And you are probably trying to end it by either calling your dog or trying to cause barking to be unpleasant.
From your dogs point of view, you calling solved the need for attention, the alarm call, the loneliness, boredom; worry, stress reliefā¦ so the barking will be repeated because it is positively reinforced.
And causing an unpleasant consequence adds more stress to a dog that already feels vulnerable.
Some of the barking may be suppressed, but eventually the dog finds a different way to fulfil the purpose of the barking. That new behaviour may be a lot worse than the barking ever was.
The good news is you can restore harmony to your life
By doing this āOneā Thing.
End the Reinforcement!
Just as you expect your dog to seek your permission...
The same is true for you.
Gain your dog's permission before you take something it wants away.
