Training the client to handle their dog is the primary goal, especially if the dog is aggressive.
➡️Often times, a an aggressive dog charges on other people if the dog is in control of the situation.
➡️ The parent may try to stop, shout at the dog to curb the aggression but the bullet has already been fired now.
➡️ Making sure that the dog knows that the owner is in control will ensure that the attack doesn't happen at all.
So, following is the path we endure to train aggression cases:
1. Find the cause. Be it trauma, a rescue case, improper handling, genetic aggression or too much pampering. Finding the cause becomes crucial.
2. Training the dog temperamentally( different from command training). If the dog is under-confident, increase confidence, if it's trauma, help him overcome it, etc.
3. Training the client so that the client can read the dog and gauge and avoid an attack before it happens. Because frequently preventing attacks from occuring will result in a dog who can handle multiple different scenarios calmly.
4. Prepare the client for the worst case scenario. By chance if the dog charges on other people, how to tackle the situation and handle the dog. This involves teaching the client to read their dog, understanding signs when the dog feels insecure and control the dog while he tries to charge.
Thus, the dog calms down drastically with the client and can handle multiple different environmental stimuli.

Your dog growls when approached by strangers, perhaps attacks them too when you're around. It's becoming difficult to go outside the house with the dog and you don't know what to do!
Lily was approaching towards aggression, as she growled when approached and shivered due to fear.
🔰Her mindset:
➡️ She would growl only when the parent was near her. Meaning she was protecting her owner, and herself.
➡️ She does not want to initiate aggression from her side, but just expects that she and her parent are left alone. This combination of shyness & protection instincts leads to aggression and introvert behavior.
➡️ Her fellow mate(dog named Oscar) who lives in the same house would bark alot when strangers approached, creating further tension, anxiety and fear in Lily.
🔰Our approach:
➡️ We started with gaining her confidence, just being around her while she shivered and tried to run away.
➡️ Her parent wanted us to train Oscar as well. The first thing we did is brought that excessive, unnecessary barking under control.
➡️ We included the parent in the training sessions at an early stage to tackle her fear based aggression.
➡️ With training and therapy, the owner was successfully able to convey to Lily that she is safe, and that she doesn't need to protect.

Gradually, Lily's confidence increased and this is the result!

Training a shy dog is difficult. One mistake and the dog who had accepted you yesterday will run away from you, even bite you if necessary.
➡️In this video, we focus on vocal tone of the handler and how it creates different types of impacts on a shy dog.
➡️ A shy dog shouldn't feel arrested, but at the same time, should also be made aware about his boundaries.
➡️ My body language and voice tone can help achieve that in some cases. Note that this may not work on all shy dogs as every shy dog has different trauma, or different insecurities, you might say.
With Mohan, the miniature pinscher, this helped us a lot. The dog who would run towards his house now fights hard to stay with us and thats a victory we were waiting for since we started.

Solving reaction & aggression problems take time. The dog in this video had both problems. While patience is the key to it, applying right strategy becomes vital because if you go wrong, the aggression becomes tenfold and then there's no turning back.
➡️Thats the reason why we get so many aggression retraining cases. The dogs either growled/attacked the trainer after which the clients called us to solve the issue.
➡️In this case, we first worked on obedience & structure indoors, then we worked on dog reactivity outdoors keeping the other dog at a distance, then we brought another untrained, reactive dog in the picture.
The results are in this video.

Certain dogs, especially if rescued, develop guarding traits due to past trauma which can be unnecessary & dangerous for the people around him.
➡️We often observe pet parents who all together avoid taking their fearful, growling dogs outside due to fear of attack pn passer-by people.
➡️While this is a temporary solution, doing this will further cause increment in both fear and aggression of the dog.
➡️As the dog matures with age, his personality will solidify, further adding fuel to the fire causing more frequent attacks on the pet parent as well as unknown people.
➡️In such cases, behavior rehabilitation using therapy and obedience structure curbs this fear, diminishing aggression traits and increasing the dog's exposure to the world which further develops his confidence.
➡️Thus, now the dog starts to enjoy roaming outside, sniffing trees, running behind cats and the fear and aggression further decreases as the dog's age grows.

The sessions we're always eager to conduct include pet parents. Why?
➡️ Because if we don't conduct sessions with parents, the dog will obey us as I have trained him and create the same everyday drama & tantrums with his parents because he thinks 'School is over now!'
➡️ Helping the parents understand how their dog thinks, teaching them how to read his body language, changing their reactions to the dog's unwanted behavior in a way that won't promote unwanted behavior to curb it are some of the outcomes of handover sessions with our clients.
➡️ This allows pet parents to communicate with their dogs easily instead of second-guessing what their dog is trying to say, avoiding confusion and any negative behavior the dog might exhibit because his demands weren't fulfilled.
Teddy is a sweetheart. When we started, he was all bitey(puppy behavior) and would bark if not given attention(again, puppy behavior).
His parents started his training at the right time and we quickly analysed that he has a headstrong personality.
Using therapy & reverse psychology, we have reached to this level in training which will further improve as we proceed.
But beware, if you have both Teddy & a watermelon in his vicinity, it's HIS watermelon, don't even try to touch it😂

Dogs, like children, have a tendency to take parents lightly. Why?
Reasons:
1. You have allowed & promoted tantrums since the pupper came in your life.
2. For instance, if a puppy jumps on you, you play with him but when he grows into a big dog and jumps on you, understand that you allowed him to jump as a puppy and he has that memory.
➡️ We train dogs, different breeds, different ages have different training techniques. You cannot take apply a single way of training on all dogs.
➡️ We try to get the best behavior out of the dog, each dog is different in this case as well.
➡️ We involve clients in the training. If the dog is obeying us as trainers, it is good; though after we go, if the dog is not obeying his owners, whats the point in training the dog?
With proper training from our side & adequate practice from owners, the dog gets trained like this.😀

When you force a dog to do things he has had traumatic experience with, you strengthen the negativity that the dog associates with the trauma.
➡️When I started training Oscar, the first thing he expected from me was that I will leash him and pull him outside his gate against his will.
➡️He was already shivering, lacked trust and was unwilling to even come closer to me.
➡️What I actually did was play with him. We never try to train a dog in minimum number of sessions, we always try to temperamentally balance him, and that takes more sessions.
➡️My first week with Oscar was a playfest. The trauma he had faced due to previous trainers made him a pressure cooker of fear which needed to be released.
➡️By the end of the first week, he was jumping on me, snatching treats off my hand & leaning on me for affection.
This is where I began training him. We gradually conquered his fear outside, step-by-step, while I knew not to surpass his threshold after which due to fear, he will only go in reverse. Knowing the limit to which such dogs should be pushed in a session is actually the key to ensure that you're not creating just another traumatic experience.
Oscar is still a work in progress but I believe he will do well this month😃♥️

A bundle of Joy!
The sweetest, temperamentally delicate pupper in our batch, it's a pleasure training Joy. Everytime we start training, there is a happy face, a wagging tail, an enthusiasm to obey and impress followed by a tantrum to get praise or a treat!😭🤣
Every dog has a potential upto which he/she can be trained. Joy is highly trainable although he was a bit sensitive temperamentally. In such cases, we focus on increasing the dog's confidence with surplus levels of praise even if he obeys just a simple sit command. Our body language is crucial asa bold body language can scare the dog off while a mellower body language will often help in avoiding increment in shyness of the puppy.

Hello all! After 21 needle pricks around his wound and a lot of pain, Shailesh sir is back.
_______________________________________
A few days back Shailesh sir got bit by a doggo student of ours. It has been a rough road since then as we have 4 batches of dogs and Shailesh sir was advised against going outside to avoid infection to the bone-deep wound on his hand.
_______________________________________
There are some profession-related hazards in dog training and this is one of them. A severe bite like this doesn't only disrupt personal life but also affects the professional life as he wasn't able to train dogs nor drive his car anymore.
_______________________________________
Life can be rough sometimes, but keeping a positive mind and maintaining your goal can really smoothen things up.
With gradual healing of his wound, things are falling back into place so I'll be posting a bit more now.
