When you see it from his point of view it changes things. Besides that fact, the dog ran 15 yards in the wrong direction. I am sure he was a little embarrassed about that, knowing cops like I do I am sure he heard a lot of jokes about that.

The dog was confused, I am assuming he was looking for a sleeve or someone running. You see the dog run toward other officers when he gets recalled to follows a point from the handlers. Having worked in high-stress situations and with law enforcement I will never pass judgment on an officer’s actions. I wasn’t there and not seeing what he was seeing, The suspect was not complying, hand up or not still a threat. The whole scene was a mess, no one had control, officers are shouting different commands. When in doubt lay down, arms out palms up, look away, cross legs.

Nice to see she looked towards the sound, I did not see her flinch. You are basically using a gunshot to clicker-train her. I think you are at a trap range correct? So only shotguns no rifles or handguns? You might see a different reaction from her with a gunshot that has a higher frequency or more concussion when you are closer.

I noticed that she repeated the command Zelda heel after getting her into the command. Small technical thing but could lead the dog to expect two commands before moving. Any reason for no leash in Phase 1?

Hi Cyndi,
1) Looking a little unsure. Almost looks like a flight stance.
2) Happy play face, I am guessing she likes to chase and bite at the hose. Lot more confided
3) Play aggression. Tail up, relaxed face. She likes the hose.
4) Confident and relaxed. Looks like she is waiting on a treat.
5) Confident, and relaxed. Something sparked her interest.
6) Confident with some signs of dominance. With that really high tail, head muscles pulling forward.

Sounds like he has been conditioned to fear the leash. I would start with a lot of simple counter-conditioning deals. To teach him that it is nothing to be afraid of, just like we do with muzzle training a dog.

MemberJanuary 31, 2023 at 11:59 am in reply to: How to handle leaving a DT community you no longer agree withThere is a lecture with Mike, where he addresses this issue. To sum up, what he said was. If someone with an opposing view wants to have an educated discussion with science and fact have it. Having knowledge of other training styles will help you as well when you have a case that has had a variety of trainers, you will know what side effects are and how to fix them.
I am in the mindset and old enough not to argue with people. Let your work speak for you, soon enough the question of “why do you do that?”, will turn to “How did you do that, can you teach me?”

Great job Allie, it’s amazing what happens when leadership and dominance are practiced. Did you notice any barrier frustrations with her? Being a herding breed I could see that being a factor.

I would assume this is why it is so important in Phase 1 to have no corrections and only positive reinforcement. Then in Phase two using the very minimum amount of correction only after the dog know how to escape it, and continue to build on that with the positive reinforcement so the dog know to keep trying and not shut down.

The video is used as marketing on my website to show clients what they can do and potential clients what training looks like. I spend a lot of time searching other trainer’s sites and not a single one shows how they do training. I make a point of bringing this up to clients and in my blogs. What are they hiding? For my clients I do custom videos for them on any issues they are having.

Typically they won’t care after some time. When she gets older it might start to. My German Shepard I had never cared about booms or loud noises until she was 9 or 10 then she started being afraid. All my current dogs have lived with sonic booms, fireworks, thunder and shooting. They don’t even open an eye when there is a boom. I had a mastiff in California that would run outside and look on the roof whenever there was a sonic boom. It was comical.

That is the missing part I have not filmed I film a quick explanation and edit it in before I post on my site. I do not have a good camera to do that with yet. It is really hard to do with my canon Rebel

I think you answered what part of it could be. She at that when we start to see behavioral changes. Something to keep an eye on. @Mike what say you?

I would go back to ethology. What is normal for the breed and what is abnormal? Consider her age, sex, and if there are other dogs in the home. (I do not know any of these). I would ask myself why does she feel she needs to be showing such a dominant stance? Who is in control of limited resources?
Another factor would be health. Does she have some type of injury that causes pain when she drops her tail?
It’s only a problem if it is causing you a problem.
