Troubleshooting leave it. This is a prime example of why your marker word needs to have the correct timing. Your reward hand shouldn’t be in your bait bag & mindful of your hands overall, & it’s important to reward for the eye contact versus just rewarding for leaving it alone (ideally you want both!) #bingleyandco #bingleyandcodogtraining #dogtraining #balancedogtraining #balance #dogsofinstragram #operantconditioning #muttsofinstagram #dogadvice #trainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainer #dogtreats #dogtricks #offleashlife #offleashrecall #inlandempire #dogtraining101 #socaldog #socaldogtraining #goldensofinstagram #goldenretriever
When working with a reactive dog we often see owners interrupt, correct, or redirect after the dog is already reacting. By interrupting earlier we give our dog a better chance to be successful. Typically you’ll notice their ears perk up in the direction of the trigger, then other body signals start happening (hackles raised, tail up and high, weight shifts, mouth ajar, etc) THEN vocalization occurs Interrupt your dog the moment those ears perk up, interrupt the moment they are fixating -don’t wait for the bark and the lunging The fixation is like leaving a boiling pot of water on the stove and the reaction is the water boiling over Allowing your prey driven dog to fixate on something and reinforcing this can often lead to frustration which then builds in to reactivity or leash reactivity. Paying attention to your dog’s on your walk will go a long way in being able to see the signs early and prevent any behavioral issues to arise.
