Conquering a dogs nerves in certain situations isnโt the same for every dog but ultimately we have to figure out at what rate we are going to push them. Slow and steady wins the race paired with staying under threshold as well as having something GREAT happening is key. Again every dog is different and needs different things. Mabel needs to be around what she is unsure of, we started at a distance and now we can walk by . She may never want people all in her space but the goal is to have her see that not everyone is a threat and she has made it so far! Canโt wait to see how much she progresses. #suchagooddog.

Barrier aggression: this video shows it clear as day. As silly as this video can seem it can be stressful for the people and the dogs.
Many dogs are reactive and will exhibit aggressive behaviors when they are behind a barrier, such as a gate, fence, crate or car window. The following technique can be used to eliminate this undesirable behavior, called barrier, aggression, or barrier frustration.
It is not intended for use of the dog who is reactive on lead. ๏ฟผ
For your own safety, do the exercise through a barrier, with an opening just large enough for a treat to pass through.
Steps for helping a dog, overcome barrier frustration :
To begin changing the undesirable behavior, you will need to change the dogs negative association with being behind the barrier to a positive association.
The easiest, the most effective way, is with yummy food treats. Use these step:
1) prepare yourself with food rewards. For safety, long stick treats are recommended put the rewards in a pouch around your waist so that your hands are free.
2) take the dog to an area where you can use food rewards without interference from other dogs. If you have to work in a run, remove the other dogs until you finished. Situate yourself, so there is a barrier between you and the dog.
3) begin by giving a treat through the barrier, regardless of what the dog is doing. Even if the dog is barking, or reacting to you, you can throw a treat to him through the barrier. Give another treat as soon as the first has been eaten; repeat until youโve given the dog five treats. ๏ฟผ
4) then, stop and wait for 3 to 5 seconds; if the dog remains calm, give him five more treats. If he becomes reactive, say nothing to him just turn and walk away.
5) if the dog became reactive, move him to another area (behind another barrier) where he hasnโt been practicing the unwanted behavior. Give him five treats; if he remains calm, give him five more.
6) Repeat this process each session and gradually increase the ti
