Lovely pup that came out to see me. There are a few insecurity issues but should be very resolvable.
Apparently very good with other dogs and even cats.

I stupidly posted a partial video earlier due to a mistake I made in the Editing software.

If you watched the 1/2 copy, please try it again and let me know what you think.

Here is the full copy (still short) of a Rhodesian Ridgeback that I am working with.

I will be doing a whole series of videos with regards to many misguided trainers using high level aversives with fearful dogs.

Trying to reform the Dog Training Industry is a Great Passion of mine.

Drako, came out for an evaluation last weekend. He is a dog that is a bit anxious and insecure but also sweet as a lump of sugar ( 0 aggression).

When playing with his owner Drako would almost never relinquish his ball. After getting to know me, and then playing a bit I had Drako dropping his ball and rolling it over to me so I would play with him.

This trusting and collaborative experience reminded me why I got into this business.

eCollars are one of many tools that I use. All dogs start out with Positive Reinforcement before using any corrections.

Not every dog needs to train on an eCollar. Consideration is always given to the individual dog, owner, and the environment the dog lives in. We only support science-based training for appropriate eCollar use.

Here is a video I did recently.

If you like the video please subscribe to my YouTube channel as there will new videos there regularly.

At Sigma Dogs we believe in teaching behaviors before introducing corrections.

By getting engagement from your dog, you can reduce compulsion.

Many companies simply don’t understand this. Note that the 2 dogs in this video are not indulging in shenanigans.
