Have Dog aggression on the leash? Stop it Today! Dog training with America's Canine Educator 

Hey Guys, I have NO idea why the sound is not working but I am working on it!

Love this, thanks. Now I just need to find some other dogs that are not reactive in order to practice it, which is the hard part,

Just came across this vid. My 6 month old shepherd is super reactive on the leash, this seems like a great way to break it.. Going to start implementing it today

no audio! someone else having this issue??? - (I tried with other videos with no problem)

This really helps. I love how you broke it down and explained it so fluently. I will apply this to my cattle dog. Best dog ever just insecure once she is on leash and sees that other dog.

My dog is a German Shepherd/Lab. He is currently in boarding training for his aggression issues especially with other dogs. I have been watching/researching with your videos while he is away in training so I can be a better handler and learn myself. Keep the videos coming! Love it!! ❤️🐶

Another great episode! I'm learning so much for my new GSD and how I've been lacking with our family border collies!

I continue to be amazed with everything I learn on your videos I look forward to trying new techniques to enhance our walks, ours are stressful as well but have improved since I have been watching your videos. Can’t wait to try the pop and return over and over until they are just curious I usually pop and redirect but never turn back. Thanks again!

Your videos are soo helpful for my 8 month old shepherd. Thank you so much !!

This is great. Started doing this with my Czech wolf dog who has always been timid, ever since he was a puppy and just started to get slightly lead aggressive with other dogs and this seems to be doing the trick. I found the e collar in this situation only added to the fear and added a negative to what he was perceiving as a negative situation. I don’t want the e collar to sound bad as I have found it an amazing tool, when coincided with positive reinforcement. Recall never a problem now because of it and I helped a friends dog who had so many bad behaviours due to what you mentioned about “how serious the command is perceived”. Now she doesn’t chase cars, bike nor people and I have never seen a dog so happy after going through this transition. Love watching your stuff. Real life advice, for real life situations and there is always reasoning behind what you do. Cheers again for your videos.

Very inspiring. I took notes. Thanks!

Love the balloon metaphor - so accurate.

Really great stuff - my great dane/lab has leash reactivity and I will start implementing this "flat tire" method - thanks for the great vid!

at 11:20 I had to leave this video to look up hockey fights. SPOT ON comparison 🤣

Thank you so much for this! Walking and seeing other dogs is currently not a very fun experience for us. Hoping this can turn things around.

10:04 like the dog saying "thank you"

Awesome video, thank you Tom

Incredibly, so great. 🥰

Great advice on building

Thats awesome! Thank you for an advice!

Hey Thomas, awesome video. My dog is the same, very reactive to other dogs and sometimes people, its fake aggression out of fear. I applied what you are doing above and it works wonders. HOWEVER, only if the other dog is standing still. When I am on a walk usually dogs and dog owners are moving towards or away from me. What do I do when they are approaching me and my dog? It is hard to distract or have the dog mentally with me when the other dog is approaching. Any suggestions?

I wish I could have seen the dog before the training to see her reactivity because I want to understand if my dog is scared or aggressive, with the sounds he makes it is hard to tell. I will try this technique and have in the past but he sees the dog and zeros in on it immediately, he would be pulling to see the other dog if we turn around and go the other way. I will try to repeat this method and see how many turn-around-and-back's we need to do

Wow this was amazing !

The best video I have watched on this topic...you were able to take a very complicated subject with many variables, and made it almost easy to understand by using the 'inflated balloon' image, and combination of training/behavior mod/relationship building real-time example...Thanks infinity! :)

This video was a big help 5:00 to 10:30...

Oh my gosh! This is amazing! I have an amazing and well trained Cocker Spaniel and the only real issue we have is leash reactivity. I am going to start implementing this immediately!! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this!! I've been having issues with my girl and I'm so gonna try this!

Tom, thanks for your common sense no nonsense approach. I’m subscribed. Wanna see more. Good on u👍

Gone thru 4 trainers in my area and learned more from your vids than I did with them. Have a GS and was told I wasn't dominant enough to teach her by one trainer,the other told me she wasn't smart enough to learn. Took training in my own hands by looking online. Have this very issue. Had to separate my Eskie from her because the GS went after her. Was told to put the GS down. Sure wish I had someone in my area like you. So far I'm doing the best I can do on my own.Tks for the vids. I think it's going to be a big help.

We just rescued a year old Doberman that we saved from a owner dumping situation on the highway. He has 0 training and doesn't have a name. Look forward to catching up on all your videos. Thanks brother!

Nicely done Tom :)

Great videos. One question what happens if you are on a walk and the other dog is reactive as well when coming at you? I have heeler who is super nervous around other dogs when on a lead....

thanks for this. My dog has always been super reactive and just last week started actually going after and biting smaller dogs. Taking him to the vet to see if there's anything physical happening that's adding to this. But I'm feeling a bit desperate ATM

Thank you so much for these videos. I'll be starting the flat tyre method immediately with my 1.5yo GSD with this same issue! I have a question though - if his balloon inflates so rapidly he immediately jumps in the red zone what do you do to circumvent that? Start from further away, or just call him away and repeat until he doesn't "pop" the balloon so easily?

I would REALLY love to watch this episode as my great dane has leash aggression. HOWEVER, my video does not have any sound?? Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!

My dog jumps up on to her hind legs when she see a squirrel or another dog on our walks. She barks very loud, but it isn't aggressive. I have never heard her growl even. If she's jumping up and bashes into me she tends to lean into me even more, as though she's trying to feel safe by being right on my body. Anyway, will a prong collar prevent her from jumping up high (she leaves the ground and spins her body when she's really worked up). Other than seeing other dogs, she is great on the leash, walks in a heel, doesn't sniff the ground (until I say go pee) and will stop when I stop. Her call back needs work, but when another dog is around she doesn't hear a single thing I say and treats don't help at all. She just gets tunnel vision.

Great method my friend, sub for more, always looking to diferent ways to aproach some situation (sorry my english, i train dog in Chile as my part time job and i love it, to bad i can´t live from it)

i have two dogs that hype each other up on the lead when they see other dogs - they also do them same after a while when they are off the leash What are the best method to stop this ganging up on other dogs also what is the best place to get a training lead from

The number one thing that is happening, is that by walking away, it is allowing the dog to see that the other dog is not going to aggress on them. Once a dog realizes that they are not going to be jumped they slowly begin to internalize that with you they are safe. So retreating is showing them that the other dogs are cool, and even if they aren't- they can't get to her. I have foster GSD that was awful, and by using this method it's changed everything. In addition She had never been leash trained or socialized. I started with working her on leash on 2hr trail walks with my other dogs off-leash. I tried using several tools and landing on a Sporn harness. I used the very painful and long process (for ME) of using the "stop when they pull" method. It's verrrry hard and takes an incredible amount of patience and dedication. While my OTSC learned not to pull in just a few lessons using a regular collar - the GSD was so ingrained to pull it was hour upon hour of walks. Eventually walks were fine, but going into public it was like starting over. Once I got her signed up with Greater California GSD Rescue they use adoption fairs to adopt dogs, and they require Sprenger prong collars. Just to get her to the first event with the harness it took me an hour of retreating at the very instant she started reacting, then going back. We are talking 15 other dogs sitting in crates, dogs walking around the pet store etc. By the time we got inside she was fine. Wow! That retreat idea was so worth it! Switching to a PROPERLY FITTED Prong, that was properly USED, at Each event she got better. After many months she now has no dog aggression in public. I still am not ready to trust her to actually approach most of them, for more than a few seconds, but she has finally learned to sniff BUTTS not NOSES and I force her to give her butt first once in awhile. She's fine at home with my 3 dogs who are smaller and who boss her around when she gets too amped up...but when she was introduced to them it took an hour of her handler having to sit on her til she calmed down enough for my dogs to want to approach her. After that they've been together a year with no problems on her end. When left to her own devices she actually attacked a dog walking across the street last summer when I got distracted in the garage. That's why learning to RETREAT to greet is sooo important

Thank you for your videos! I have a Malinois mix that I rescued 3 years ago. He has been attacked 3 times by a GSD. He does react aggressively when on leash (so it seems to me) but I know he's not dog aggressive, as I had him at another trainer and when he's super tired, he was with 6 of her Aussies, off leash and he's fine. I will try this method but wondered if you might have other suggestions? I know I need to stay calm as well. I'm working him with a prong collar. Thank you and keep up the great work~! Wish you were here in San Diego.

I can't wait to try this on my 6 yo GSD who is fearful. Let me know if you ever travel to northwest:)

I have an 90 pound boxer blue heeler and I am currently using s slip chain collar it doesn't seem to work very well when I try and correct do you suggest a prong collar and if so is there a particular type/kind?

What collar and leash do you recommend? Just started watching your videos and absolutely love them!

Hi there! First of all your videos are great!!! I have one problem: I have a 6 months old swiss shepherd, and his first reaction on walks to other dogs are barking to scare them away.(Its because of his insecurity that I did not how to handle...) I already consulted a professional so I know the method and it's way better know, and I could socialize him well. But... from nowhere he barks again and again even when it seemed we had a great progress and the problem were gone totally. I always watch his reaction and act before he could bark on walks so it's not that i can't handle it, but why the setbacks are happening?... Is it possible that because of he is barking at dogs that walking near our fence? How should I manage this? He shouldn't guard our property at this age right? Is it only reactivity? I assume this because he doesn't bark at any people, only dogs, very viciously, and when I'm not there I cannot controll it..

Something wierdly attractive about you just getting that kind of control of the dog just like that, I mean it can't just be me thinking this? 😂 Anyway, loved it as usual. For me personally because I just took over a German shepherd, 10 years old, because the owners got sick.. a lot to handle because he has never ever been trained properly to go in a leash.. or anything at all for that matter.. but he's amazing, I love him, I tried some of the things you teach and I feel like im really getting a better bond with him now, so thank you for posting this kind of educational videos for us :)

I have a husky who is reactive to other dogs at all times. I want to try this method with him.

What happened to the sound on this video?

Video says no sound :( aw was hoping to hear what you had to say 😂

Will prong collars work properly for English Bulldogs? And what is the proper age for prong collar usage?

I have a 19mo old GSD who has been in training since he was 10 weeks old as a Service Dog (mobility). When he was 11 mos old he pulled me out of my chair chasing a dog doing a recall. The trainer felt it was a puppy chase/play maneuver, but it has become dog reactivity/aggression in the past few months. I've pulled him from SD class and meet weekly with a trainer trying to address this behavior, but frankly I'm about to wash him. His tasks are great, but I've lost a lot of trust due to his behavior. I'd love any suggestions you might have.

What size prong collar ?

Where's the sound?

Why do so many of ur videos hv no sound?

This video has absolutely no sound 🔊😥

My dog is a machine who will rip up all animals he’s a puppy shepinois, but I was popping the bubble before watching the video! I’m still out of luck

💜

🤯🐕

No audio

Help...my Shepard is insane😂...nobody comes to my house anymore...because she runs them away with her aggression!!!!! I'm going to try some techniques from these videos😋

Guess I have unstable shepherd.... she whines barks, if she separated from her pitty brother during walks she gets anxious

No sound

Oh nooo. U shouldn't do this. Just feed the dog snacks and ignore the bad behavior, thats all you need to do. All the science says so......😂😂😂 lol.

i like your method but I don't see how effective it would be on a walk. If you walk in front of a house with a dog, you would look quite ridiculous doing that..

Que carajo es esto?

Too preachy and condescending to the dog owner. This guy is conceited and feels like he's the coolest guy alive. Phew!
