I recorded a recent walk from start to end to give people an unfiltered sense of how I deal with different scenarios with my reactive dogs.
The first video on getting my dogs into their harness and leash is out!! 🙌🏾👇🏾
If you understand the science of dog behavior, you don't need to constantly keep treating your dog to train them.
This video is the first in a series that I'm making around the different ways we train during our daily (ish) walks with two large pit-mixes.
In this video, I'm showing you the routine I follow before our walks to get my reactive/anxious hyperactive dogs geared up for our walk.
I focus on showing them what I WANT them to do instead of behavior that I don't like, making every effort to communicate this to them before they're able to exhibit the undesirable behavior (like jumping up on me/body slamming me or my mom - who's holding the camera).
Is there anything you would have done differently, or didn't understand? Let me know your thoughts and questions in the comments below.👇🏾

When your dog leaves you a present to step into outside your room ... Be calm, don't yell/scream/or punish them. They won't understand why you're mad at them no matter how much you rub their face in the 'accident'.
Clean it up, and remember to give your dog plenty of opportunities to eliminate before bed/after meals/water/play/excitement. Especially after you change your clocks 😉

Toasty is SUCH a smart dog with a lovely temperament. I love training rescues and this boy's foster mama is working so hard to make him the perfect doggo for some lucky adopter. If you're looking to adopt, give the dogs at DACC a chance. All available pets can be found at https://www.friendsofdacc.org/pets-for-adoption
In case you had doubts about the effectiveness of treating for 'Alert Barking' ...
Also, notice the shake-off from both dogs? This method helps dogs REDUCE stress.
Shocking them, yelling at them, or spraying them with citronella does not.
