When leash pressure is only perceived as restraint or punishment it makes the dog feel bad having the leash even attached and emphasizes it's insecurities.

When leash pressure means lots of different things the dogs default is not to perceive it as restraint.

Leash pressure becomes signals rather than restraint and punishment.

Some dog trainers recommend you should give your dog as much as 100 pieces of hot dog per walk.

Every walk , every day!

What's worse is the only criteria it gets fed hotdog is when it looks at you.

Not for doing any excercises or shaping just looking at you.

How bad is this not only for behaviour but also the dogs health?

Tons and Tons of junk food for doing nothing.

Even more harmful to small , tiny dogs.

'When walking your dog, incase of recall emergency -

You should carry around with you every where you go - a boiled egg, tin of tuna or a wooden spoon with peanut butter !'

When you give out totally impractical advice is it any wonder you don't get repeat business or client reviews.

Dogs and people need help and in a timely manner .

Not getting results puts dogs at risk of loosing their home, life or causing injury!

Wee Luna was fear reactive to everything and always pulling on leash.

She didn't need punishment she just needed guidance through the leash.

Leash pressure needs to be percieved as signals not just punishment or restraint.

She didn't know what to do in situations and as soon as we gave her leadership and direction she calmed right down .

She never reacted to a thing once we changed her relationship with the leash.

ERIC 4 Year old Rottie.
Hates being handled.

It's a long and not exciting video but it's huge steps for grumpy Eric.

I've been working with Eric for 10 days so far.

He's actually a great big dog but if you try to brush him, dry him with a towel or muzzle him he kicks off big time!

He hates his nose, tail and paws being touched and sometimes gets grumpy when you touch his collar.
If he gets a tick or needs to go to the vet he can't be touched.

His people have been feeding him treats for four years and respecting his space but nothing has changed.

After reducing his aggression on day 1 he's been having 4-5 flooding sessions per day.

After 10days I can brush him 100% of the time now and dry him 90% without him kicking off.

Day 1 I spent 40mins feeding him in a muzzle but when I went to clip it on I nearly lost my fingers!

I reduced aggression by substituting my hand with a stick.
Basically the stick doesn't feel pain , show fear or register aggression.

It's quite common for male Rotties to behave like this especially with the paws and the vet.

It's like an exaggerated form of defence which is high in Rotties in particular German type.
That's where the famous Rottie rumble comes from.

Fingers crossed this passes onto his family and he's more relaxed being handled.

Moose's second session.

Do you remember how wildly out of control Moose was around dogs?

After months of on going positive only training Moose was still highly reactive even at great distances.

Look at him here surrounded by dogs .!

Quite soon Moose and his devoted owners will be able to enjoy walks and life together .

Real training, real results!
