The biggest bulsh*t advice in dog training is you shouldnโ€™t correct a dog or say no to them or just ignore them.

Today a client was told by a so called dog trainer and I use that term very lightly to throw food on the floor for her reactive dog ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ itโ€™s trainers giving this type of advice that are completely clueless where dog aggression comes from or how to deal with it, they will say stuff like dont take them to stressful situations, dont take them out during the day, cross the road when you see another dog, do everything except correct the dog , do you really think 2 large dominant males in full state of aggression is interested in food ?

Give me a break save that advice for your clicks & likes and leave real dog training to trainers that know what to do that deal with real aggression in dogs

Big thanks for the recommendation Triona

Kennel Name: Ruholfia Kennels
Ventry, Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland FCI and IKC registered:
Triona was Named Top Dobermann Breeder in Ireland and holds numerous prestigious wins at events like the IDC World Championships.
Judging: Trรญona is a recognized, international Dobermann specialty judge, frequently adjudicating at all-breed and specialty championship shows.

Here is Mike & his 7 months old Dobermann called Axle working with me today, we strip back everything with absolutely no equipment on the dog.
I am very different from a lot of trainers I want the dog to want to work with me not because I have a lead etc attached to him but because he wants to.

We changed a few things for both Mike & Axle going forward, showed them various things that will help in their engagement and I can see Mike will do a great job with Axle for sure โœ”๏ธ

Leo the GSD (Reactivity)

This handsome GSD has progressed phenomenally well in our residential training program with myself & Samantha.
Leo will soon be ready to go back home a very long way back to the beautiful Guernsey ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Island

Axle the male Dobermann (Bite History)

Remember Axle the Dobermann that also had laser syndrome as well as attacking the owner, well after his residential stay with us itโ€™s been a massive success and a monumental huge leap forward for this whole family.

I couldnโ€™t be prouder of them all amazing, they have implemented everything I did with Axle on his residential stay and listen to what they say, they are now well on the way to a very happy situation ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพโœ…โœ…๐Ÿ’ฅ

Dog Trainer/behaviourist incompetence

This dog has come from a GSD rescue and even the dog rescueโ€™s placement officer/person who came to evaluate the dog in the home barged into the house kicked of her shoes and kept backing the dog up into a corner until the dog reacted and these are the type of people that are supposed to know what they are doing.

Another behaviourist they asked about the laser issue only took the dog for a walk and couldnโ€™t give one piece of advice on what to do again completely useless, other trainers not showing the very basics/fundementals in even how to hold a leash, how and when to give commands and this is exactly why the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง dog industry needs proper monitoring & regulation.

Rescue GSD 2yr old/approx female

The current owners are now trying to deal with this dogโ€™s issues and there are many and varied, they have had other trainers & behaviourists try to help.

This is an extreme case of reactivity as the dog lunges at people, dogs, has tried to bite many people, pulls on lead, extreme case of laser pointer syndrome just watch further on in the video what this dog is doing itโ€™s really sad to see.
This owner was told to use a flirt pole but while this is ok with some dogs itโ€™s definitely not suitable in the case for this dog as the dog or owner dont understand what they should be doing with the flirt pole so now I must also fix this and teach the dog what to focus on and what not to focus on, as well as fix many other issues like pulling on lead, lunging, aggression towards people and other dogs the list goes on

Within 60 seconds of seeing this dog, I can tell itโ€™s from working line yet no enrichment for this specific dog is being fulfilled so an absolute monumental amount of work going forward.

I will never show a dog in a bad light but suffice to say at the beginning of the session it definitely didnโ€™t look like this.

By the end of the session at least we now have some control, so now the hard work begins ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพโœ…โœ…

Here we have
Leo the male GSD(Reactive)
&
Vinny the male Dobermann (Reactive) in with us for residential training.

Also joining us on our walk is Bruno another reactive male Dobermann with his female owner Eliza.
Leo the GSD owners traveled a very long way from the Guernsey ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฌ to get to us as do a lot of dogs that come from all over the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง & internationally.
Absolutely fantastic how amazing the progress has been with these dogs now walking calmly alongside other dogs let alone other reactive dogs, doing recall in high distraction areas, being multi handled and so much more ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•โœ…โœ…
