Will Atherton Canine Training Educational and informative videos from Will Atherton covering everything you could possibly want to know about training your dog.
I find this so hard with your three little boys. They play tug with toys with our 11 week old cavapoo. So he is in biting mode getting the toy and then accidentally (?) Nips them. What do I do? He seems to respond very well to me - I guess I am the alpha? Also, he doesn't seem to care about my husband lol is that normal? 😊
How do I train my dog I've just got it and it's not trained at all it does everything wrong and bad ots a labrapoodle it jumps up sides with paws jumps up you, bad on lead pulling always in your face doesn't settle I got it off my sister and they didn't put enough practice in and encouraged it to jump
My old collie saved me from driving off cliffs or into trees multiple times just because she was always in the car with me and I couldn't do that to her. She left the world 9 months ago, age 16, and it's like I've lost a child, I won't ever get over it. I now have a little rescue collie who is bringing light back, and I hope I can bring light to her as she hasn't had the best start. Some people just need best friends who happen to be dogs.
400£ later and lots of training sessions our German Shepard still is reactive to other dogs I’m gonna stop paying these fake trainers and just watch RU-vid videos I feel like dog trainers just drag the sessions out then charge a fortune with no results
Have you got a video for dogs around 16 months that's had no training before as I've took on a dog and it's really energetic I walk it twice a day for about 3 hours I practice some basic training for about 30 mins and play fetch in garden for hour and try and incorporate some training simple things like giving eye contact and sit before throwing the ball. But he's bad at everything he's always pacing in the house he literally did stop for even one minute from 6 in morning until 8 at night not even sat down for 1 minute. He pulls on a lead bad the previous owner used a harness which is bad. I got a slip lead and he started chewing and biting I think so as he had a toy which was basically made out of what looks like a lead. He jumps up you all the time, on sides. Basically he does everything wrong and bad. Do you approach as a new pup or is it slightly different as its reinforced and he's older. Appreciate any feed back. All he can do is sit paw and wait a little but it's not been taking further like waiting at the door while opening and other practical application.
My dog was harassed a lot as a young pup he became reactive, he’s a big dog (34kg) and I struggled to keep him under control he wrestled so hard with me trying to get to other dogs - I walked him for years at 5 am before other dogs got up I avoided anyone we saw but I realised this was just avoiding the problem and dealt with it head on.He’s 9 now and still does not want to interact with other dogs but he doesn’t try to kill them now but it doesn’t go away ever - because other people let their dogs bother him and we can still have issues if this happens. We can walk past dogs - he is fine he nudges my hand to remind me he’s been good and he gets a treat but oh the dogs that have harassed us over the years - off lead friendly dogs who’s owners think I’m so rude because I tell them to get their dogs away from mine - but he’s only saying hello they say as their dog is trying to mount mine Grrrr ! I will always bear the responsibility of owning a re active dog but please if you care about your dog listen to this man because some dogs are social butterflies but some are not - if you don’t understand this you are walking your dog blindly into danger - I had one man try to send his dog back to mine because I told it to sod off ( he didn’t like that) because my dog was starting to get upset whilst he did nothing to recall his dog and I told him he clearly didn’t care about his dog sending his little spaniel towards my very big angry dog- I actually loosened my dogs lead a little - the man almost shit his pants when he thought I was going to let my dog get his - I hate this -I just want to walk my dog without other dogs harassing us ! I love dogs and have always owned one -I won’t be getting another because I am tired of dog owners with no clue- of the impact their friendly dog can have on a dog that doesn’t want their high energy and attention - !
My dogs, Yennifer and Magnus, love other dogs and even other people. Someone walked by the other day and ignored them, which led to them going down in the dumps for the whole day.
I have a pup, year and a half, and I've only ever seen him "like" and play with one other dog that isn't in the same household. He likes to greet and say hello but then he doesn't care if they continue to exist or disappear off the face of the earth. So long as the dog isn't acting aggressively towards the other dogs, I don't see why people have such problems but I know it happens and makes me a bit sad.
My dog is super friendly when meeting new dogs if they're friendly, but if they show aggression she immediately gets "punchy" really quickly. What's a realistic expectation here??
I had a dog that didn't like other dogs much. He was safe around other dogs he just didn't want to play with other dogs outside of our home. I had 3 dogs at the time he'd play with his house mates but around other dogs he'd just hang back and let the other 2 dogs play. I just let him do his thing I felt I don't like everyone why should I expect him to. I just only brought him to one friends house with 2 dogs and the 4 dogs would play and my 1 would sit and enjoy being outside watching them
I’ve got a 1 year old pitbull at home, sweetest dog ever incredibly friendly and feisty girl and she likes to play rough, I’ve got 2 issues with social interactions with her 1. she’s very uncomfortable around big groups of dogs especially if they surround her, immediately her tails in between her legs or she flops on to her back to show she’s not a threat 2. because she’s a rough player she doesn’t exactly know boundaries when it comes to playing with puppies (specifically I don’t have this problem with older dogs) and can be over bearing with them, how would I try to improve her confidence in a large group and have her ease up on play with puppies
Hope you find good help to make the right decisions with socializing her. I blew it with my pit, I just had to work a lot the first year and a half and she was around my roommates and friends. Inconsistent to say the least. She became very dog aggressive to the point we had a couple of close calls and one bite. It was a struggle for the rest of her life but we managed ane she lived to be 12 and didn’t ever do any lasting damage, but I always felt bad like she had missed out on something. Luckily she made a friend during her final two + years as she was old enough that the fight left her I guess
@@Bleepbloopblappp Thanks, it is a bit of a weird one to try and work out. My family dogs growing up were always poorly socialised so with her I've made it the priority as well as knowing pits are just predisposed to being aggressive towards other animals. Sorry for your loss it's always hard losing a dog especially when you feel like you could have done more for them.
The "leave it" command comes in very handy after which you redirect your dogs attention to what you want them to actually do with a lot of praise once they focus on you for directions 💯
I got a 2 1/2 years old Cane Corso her problem. I got her when she was about a year, so her training is kinda late. She don’t like loud noises and passing trucks or cars. She tries to attack them.. She don’t know that’s dangerous.. I think it started by lawnmowers and other loud motors when she was younger.. how do I stop this?
Boxers are incredibly intelligent. That’s how I’ve always known them. Never heard them described as any different. They can act dumb, but their problem solving is second to none. My boxer is extremely intelligent
