*Psst...* The best thing you can do is just to try. Even if you're scared. Even if you don't know what you're doing. Something good will always come from trying. Thank you for being here. I love you all
I am not a trainer or anything but ... Imagine - if that was a small dog like a chi and you accidentally crushed their head+ I can see sooo many problems with this - I can instantly tell that if they ever release the dog outside in the yard the dog won't want to come back in because he is scared of the door - congratulations, this "trainer" just made their dog fear the door. If there is a fire in the house or something the dog won't be able to go out because they are now scared of the door.
I did training as a module in college last year. This "training" would count as positive punishment - you're adding (that's what positive means in this sense) something into the equation that the dog doesn't like, such as getting crushed in a door. Like Em says, the most common form of training is positive reinforcement, which is much better and less harmful for the dog. Unfortunately, because TikTok, this man probably saw little/no repercussions for his actions. I hope he got fired at the very least.
@@MrWereWolfGirl There's a show called Me or the Dog where a trainer teaches people how to properly rain and treat their dogs. She's extremely against any kind of physical force like shock collars or choke chains. There was one episode where the family had a shock pad in front of the door so if the dogs went barking at the door they got shocked. Only problem was after it happening so many times the dogs were terrified to go near the door so they couldn't get the dogs to go in or out. Once it was removed it took a lot of positive reinforcement to get them to not be scared anymore.
Yeah and beyond that, the trainer is advising people to do this. Someone could easily accidentally close the door too hard on a dog and actually injure it. Ugh I hate it.
I started with door docking as a training method. Definitely will backfire and create bad behaviors. I now know better and take my time and get better results.
Another interesting fact about Jaws: the reason why you almost never saw the shark in Jaws was because the crew couldn't get the animatronic to work the majority of the time.
Exotic Bullys make me sad to look at them. I feel so bad for them they must have so many health issues with their bowed legs and dipped backs. they probably feel very uncomfortable
I already feel so bad when my dog paces or pacy walks because it tells me her muscles are sore and she might have some issues with her back. And she is a healthy looking english cocker, with x-rayed hips (b/b, aka almost normal). I couldn't even imagine how horrible I would feel to see a dog like on the video every day and know he is in pain. 😭
My parents trained their dog to sit on the runner (rug) in the hallway when the front door is opened. And he has never ran out without permission. He is very treat motivated and he gets pats and treats for sitting in the rug. They did the same with the kitchen as well. If we are in the kitchen he sits on a rug when we open the fridge or oven. It was really easy. It’s called ‘place’ we point and say “Place,” and he goes and sits or lays down
So there are other methods.. I’m not speaking on this guys method. But just saying, for example, a method I do to teach door manners do not include sit and stay. I focus more in on the mental aspect of the dog. I want the dog to calm down MORE than I want the dog to sit and stay. I’ll teach that after, maybe, once i have a calm state of mind. Far too often I’ve seen dogs “sit, stay” at the door and before they’re even released, their mindset is still past you and a mile down the road. I’m just putting in my two cents. It’s hard to judge a 15 second video when you don’t know the whole story. Or the mindset of the guy.
@@FullOfRandomness02 I do the same. I watch the dog. I open the door bit by bit. The moment I see even the slightest bit of obsessive interest into that door, I close it. Dog starts trying new behaviours to see which one opens the door and learns the door opens only when they're ignoring it and away from it. I do say "back" though so that later on I can use it as a command for them to get away from the door on their own.
I LOVE that more influential pet youtubers have started calling out problematic memes and viral videos! So many people don't understand how to treat animals. Keep posting great stuff Em!
@LaumiRez false sharks are not territorial at all. They also arent interested in eating us at all their taste buds are on their gums so they HAVE to bite into whatever theyre going after to tell if its food.
@@paigefiske9773 isn’t it because of their bad visibility? At least for great whites. They have to bite to know what it is because they can’t see clearly.
I definitely watched a documentary that said only bull sharks actually want to eat humans. It’s just great whites be deadly cuz they’re huge. But bull sharks are something else.
As a dog trainer I can, with certainty, say that this method will only create fear and only teaches the dog not to dash when you are right next to the door/on leash. If someone opens the door from the outside or it’s another family member he/she will dash. If you try this without a leash you will loose the dog (even if you don’t you’ll likely close the door harder because there’s no tether and possibly hurt the dog worse). I’ve also seen in the comments people being concerned for different breeds/dogs with health issues, reactivity, etc. this type of training post on tik tok takes these out of the training equation and, especially with an inexperienced owner, can make the issue worse or cause a ton of damage (don’t forget most people who will use this method will be new puppy owners or folks who have a dog that needs special attention they aren’t used to giving) As for the Shorty Bull; it’s very sad. Folks breed pits with bulldogs and try to go with the super buffed guy look (but don’t want a big dog) as someone hoping to specialize in Canine work I would never recommend this type of dog (or any like it) who have been breed to have many heath issues for a look. I’m sure the breeders take great care of the pups but really, no matter the care, I feel it is not ethical to breed a dog who has a high percentage to be extremely unhealthy. Edit: Em you are amazing! You’ve been a huge inspiration for me to pursue Zoology as a degree to help educate folks! As a fellow Denver area resident I cannot wait to see more videos from you exploring with Kiba on Instagram!
the fact people think dogs will not associate that experience with the owner/trainor and RESENT them. it’s such an egocentric way of thinking “i want the dog to interpret this lesson the way i do!!” not how teaching works. it’s just abuse
Exactly it is abuse and only creates fear in the poor dog. Causing pain and fear in an animal is not training it is abuse you may get faster results from causing pain and fear in your animal but you will get better results from proper training that is positive.
yeah and also making an animal afraid and stressed is NOT good for their mental health. dogs are emotional, complicated creatures, they can have mental problems caused by abuse. and those problems not only make them unhappy but can also cause behavioural problems (if that is the only thing some people care about)
The way i trained my dog was by saying "stay" then i opened the door and if she got up i closed the door and started again. I never could slam my dogs head into a door.
the dog door video was especially frustrating to me because it appears the dog was already well trained and the owner was having him walk through the door for the purpose of the video, it wasn’t like a longterm progression video-does that make sense?
I do have some experience with exotic bullies from my time working at a veterinary hospital and you're completely right. The dogs we dealt with struggled with hip dysplasia, back issues, knee issues, breathing problems, issues with their jaw sometimes too depending on how their facial structure developed. They seemed prone to heart issues as well. They are just a MESS of very very expensive health problems.
It must be incredibly hard to see dogs like that come in, where their traits have been intentionally chosen for the selfish reason of how their "accessory" animal looks, and not inform these people that they are essentially abusing these animals.
Also for the dog "training" clip, notice that the dog looks at him when it hesitates. The dog knew that the owner shut the door on it, so the fear is the owner hurting them for trying to walk through. The dog also backs away and uses disengaging techniques by looking away and back. The guy didn't teach his dog not to door dash, he thaught the dog that if it tries to door dash with him around, he'll shut the door on its neck. If he wasn't there, I'm 100% sure the dog would run out. In contrast, I've taught my dog that if a door is closed and he wants to go through, he must sit and wait. I can simply touch or tap the doorknob and he knows that when he sits, I'll open the door, and he can go out when I say okay or gesture a "go ahead" with my arm. If a door is open unexpectedly, my dog doesn't walk through it unless I'm present and we meet eyes and I say ok, especially if it leads outside. I didn't have to teach him this by crushing him in the door. I simply consistently have him wait each and every time I open a door, and if he seems like he's planning to dash due to excitement, I don't set him up to fail; I simply remind him to sit and wait and reward it with an open door and freedom
My friend had a ferret that would just hang out freely with the family during the evenings. It was super casual. One day the mom came home and the kids had left the door open. We all panicked and went on ferret hunting mode. We looked and looked and never found him. 3 days later he was found taking a nap on the guest bedroom bed. It was awful to loose him but they family was so grateful he was safe when found.... make sure to always have adults supervise your small animals.
I remember whenever my two dogs dashed out the door. They would be gone for a few hours to two days. It was terrifying. It got to the point we had to get a invisible electric fence because once they saw or caught a scent, it was hard for them to come back home.
I feel that dog trainer isn't doing anything for the dogs he is or has trained. If you did that on purpose to a child you would have social services all over you
I don't think so. My dad strongly belives that fear and pain are the best teacher hence to why we were qhipped as smaller kids but as a consequence we hate our father and dont want to talk to him ever. So in conclusion pain and fear are not good teachers positivity is. Even if it takes more time to be patient and positive.
People also teach their children with pain. Personally I think fear tactics don't need pain when you're teaching a living thing. My parents never hit me or beat me. I don't think I'd ever hit or beat my kids. A good parent doesn't need to use pain on their kids, and a good pet owner doesn't need to use pain on their animals. Force? Maybe. But not outright smacking/hitting.
waffle falafel yeah pain is unnecessary and does not benefit any creature :( fear is sometimes honestly the only way to teach a young child not to do things like touch the stove🤦🏼♀️ my nearly 2yo always tries to open the oven and even if it’s not on I will yell OW! And it’ll scare him and he will quickly step away from the oven. He doesn’t understand explanations yet so scaring him away from it like that is the only way. But no one should be using pain to teach their animals or kids anything. I don’t think fear is necessary in animals either...? Like in dogs especially? Why do you need to make your dog scared when they are very capable of learning and obeying commands without fear?
I feel horrible every time my pup accidentally gets stuck between the door opening to get inside but it's because she has all around knee elbow dysplasia so she walks slow and by the time her brother gets in sometimes I can't catch the door in time and I feel horrible ;-;
I’d like to see that “dog trainer” and smack him. Closing it once was bad enough but the second time was terrible because the dog just wanted to get away. It was scared and probably went into flight or fight mode. There are so many better ways to go about cutting off that behavior that I’ve seen.
"Sharks are really not interested in eating us. Really not.... For the most part. " 😂 idk why but that made me laugh sooo hard . I needed that. Thank you
sharks actually arent interested in eating humans at all. Sharks taste buds are on their gums so they HAVE to bite into whatever it is to tell if it food or not. Sharks also dont taste the same as a human for example a human tastes food as good or bad; a shark taste food as this is food this is not food. So if a shark bites into a human they taste the bone and flesh and realize we arent their normal food but biting into a seal thwy get the bluber and fat and will keep attacking. We call this the investigative bite.
@@paigefiske9773 thats really cool, I didnt know that! i dont have any sharks near me and i dont really travel so i dont know much about them. thank you!

Fun little fact about Ringnecks as an invasive species: There's actually a population of Ringnecks in Amsterdam (as well as other parts of the Netherlands, but the population in Amsterdam is somewhat famous). Captive birds escaped/were released decades ago and they ended up adapting to the climate just fine. Now they're thriving in urban parks. I believe the population is around 5000 birds now.
Grrr to that door man....my dog learned to "back up" from doors basically on her own! Even when she is excited to go out waiting right by the door, as soon as I say "back up!" She quickly walks backwards, away from the door. A scruffy lhasa mix waddling in reverse is so cute! Sometimes she gives a single, sharp bark in response and I feel like she is letting me know she disapproves having to wait a few extra seconds, lol. I really wonder how some people seem so comfortable making their animals more fearful of something (the door) to show they're more dominant I guess 🙄
10:19 is a photoshop, still a terrifying idea though. Pitbulls were originally bred for fighting but outside of fighting circles they've spent the last 50-100 years bred for friendliness. My relatives have had multiple Pitbulls and the meanest thing any of them have ever done is steal chairs at family reunions.
imagine taking an intelligent and high energy Dog like a Pit bull. and turning them into an immobile blob. i feel so sorry for the dog, this type of cruelty breeding needs to be straight up illegal. Edit: oh yea and i remember a post from one of their popular breeder facebook pages where they actually flaunted that their "pricewinning" male will be mating with one of his own "pricewinning" daughters to make even "more striking" puppies. this is a lost cause
You are so right! I suspect that people that want those poor animals are too lazy to deal with an intelligent and high energy breed. A normal pit bull would require training and exercise, these "exotic" inbreeds though can barely exercise 😔
I know is probabbly not the case, because well, shark. But the shark almost looks mildly surprised to see the surfer under the water suddenly. Definitely not as surprised as the surfer im sure XD
The person filming was sitting on the beach. It's a photo shop between their video and the other video; which is really old, and I think it is a clip from an old Shark Week video!

I feed my cats a morning meal when I get up and an evening meal when I get off work. Like clockwork. They started dashing out the apartment door when I get home recently. They learned pretty fast that this meant either no dinner or a very late dinner. No more door dashing. And they're smart, so they made the connection. This won't work with every animal, but it worked for me.
As for the Dog and the door darting - there is a much better much less intrusive way to train your dog. My working dog had the similar problem, as hes a mali and htey are high energy and quite territorial. But when you start young you can everytime he rushes for the door (due to the door bell or something like that) take them put them in their place (for sira it is her bed) and only when they are calm got the door. I know this may not work all the time due to some people ringing and beeing inpatient but my fiencé and friends helped ringing the bell helping me to establis htht the door is "my respinsibility" and that sira doesn't need to care. As for going for a walk and htem beeing excited I trained sira to get her harness as I put on my shoes and with that I have no stress with her beeing excited to get out because she has something to do. The whole Idea of beeing alpha to a dog is rebutted and even the person who came up with that theory withdrew it. Yes pain helps to teach dogs that certain behaviors are to be avioded, but that is something I don't see necessary as they learn just as well if you are patient and consequent with what you demand. And with most dog owners I know, the consequence is the major problem, they asume a dog has the same mental capacity as a human alloweing one thing one day and another thing the other is alienateing them as they need some form of consistent guidence.
You don't even have to start early. My method is a bit different, since I want my dogs to react to someone at the door due to where I live. I put a puppy gate up outside the door to start with just to be safe (I'll use a longline on known jumpers) and set a boundary somewhere away from the door. Every time the door is opened, I block them from passing the boundary. If they get past me, I bring them back. The most important things to remember are to relax and be consistant. When I'm able to step away without the dog making a dash for it, I close the door and praise them. Rinse and repeat. As they get better, I remove the puppy gate, and as they lose interest, I test them by walking outside or leaving the room. My dogs hardly notice when the door is left open. It helps to make them wait before following through doors inside the house as well. I do a lot of petsitting and make a point of teaching every dog I watch door boundaries. The dogs who stay with me regularly are experts. There are so many non-violent ways to stop door dashing. I don't understand why someone would think it's necessary to slam a dogs head in a door. Sure, doing it right takes a lot of time and consistancy, but it also builds trust and understanding. Teach a dog to obey fear, and they will, but don't expect them to trust you enough to come when something frightens them into the middle of the road.
I actually have a cat who door dashes. She's a pretty nervous kitty, and my dad has accidentally caught her neck in the door before. She was fine, but he felt absolutely awful.
I also have a cat that used to door dash. What I did was get a cat harness and leash and took my cat out for walks. After that I placed the leesh in a place away from the door in my home. My cat now will go to the leesh when he wants to go outside instead of the door. Just an idea
@@corrinaingels787 Aww, that's adorable!! My kitty doesn't go outside anymore much unless its really sunny tho, so door dashing doesn't seem as much of a problem now..(She's old.. Bless her.)
There was this English dog trainer who taught a family to train their dog not to door dash. What she did was very similar to the method that Em described, and she also implemented negative reinforcement. That was not pain, but rather, they would be led back into the house and then they would try again. No closing the door on their dog
You know the one with the dog and the trainer. When the guy closes the door the first time the dog tries to get out from the door like a snack in his shoulders he tries to pull himself out but because the guy is pulling in closing the door he can’t and that’s horrible
that guy with the door made me so mad, I would go berserk if someone I tried to train my dogs like that. hell no! also same with that poor pitbull... that's just.. it's not healthy. like I have a corgi, I'm well aware of the possible health risks of long backs and short legs... unless that dog is very, very lucky it's just going to suffer in the future. hip + back problems are not a joke. I feel so bad for that dog.
@@Emzotic Looked like a Black and Tan Shiba to me, but honestly I could be totally wrong. Either way, you just don’t do that to a dog! Also, never heard of a Klee Kai. I’m off to research.
WTF is that "exotic bully" dog? It looks diseased that's horrible who's allowing that kind of thing to be breed? And don't say a peep about "it's just like a English/French Bulldog" because those dogs are also horrifically misshapen and should not be breed as with most all the show dogs. Because non off those are the original standards it changes anytime the new show dog star rolls in with even more off a mutated trait that's considered desireable for that breed even though just about all off them are horrible genetic defects that will negatively impact whatever short life that animal has. Don't let that shit happen stick to the working dog version off those breeds if you haven't seen the diffrence look it up it will be obvious.
I would say I enjoy that look in your eyes when you say a pun as much, if not more, than most of the clips. You remind me of a small child doing something mischievous, like 'I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm still going to anyways'. I just roll my eyes and think 'ok, that was a good one'.
I do that training with my dog regularly, but instead of closing the door on her, I close it as she approaches. She doesn't get to go through the door until I say it's ok. The reward is not a treat, but the environment itself (i.e. going outside or for a walk). This is VERY important training especially if you have seniors in the house. Large dogs who don't have manners at doors or staircases can cause falls and injury.
That’s very different from what he did. He was using pain and fear to control the dog.. Closing the door as they approached is sort of just closing off what they want and letting them figure out how to keep it open is very rewarding for them as it’s good for their mental health. This or treats are great methods! Positive training is fantastic, but that is not what he did.
That “perfect solution” hair flip omg💘 Also seeing that dog get a door closed on it was so hard to watch, and then the fact that the dog is so scared afterwards😖.
Em, I’m in such a tough situation...I have to re home a cat of mine since I’m moving and my parents won’t take her, because she doesn’t get along with there female cats. I want her to be with someone I know and trust but no one wants her. It would break my heart to give her to a shelter I don’t want her to feel like she’s been abandoned, what do you think the best course of action would be?
If you don’t have someone trustworthy who can take her for you, really the best thing to do would be to start discussing a course of action with no-kill shelters. I know it’s hard, but plenty of people will be looking for a nice cat to bring home. Shelters will be safer than advertising her on the internet. I’m so sorry that you have to be in this situation. I know it hurts, but there are shelters which will give her wonderful care until a lovely new family adopts her ❤️
Shark: Must attacc and kill hoomam Human 1: This would be such a good TikTok I better record this Human 2: Yeah but u might die! Human 1: I don’t care I wanna go viral! Jimmy GET the phone!!!

I actually use Emzotic's videos as a kind of therapy. I have, since I can remember, had a huge phobia of reptiles, and I couldn't even look at a picture of a reptile without panicking. I can now look at pictures and watch videos with reptiles in it, without feeling the fear I am so used to feeling. It's all because of Em's lighthearted videos and slow exposure to those videos with reptiles (of course followed with a video of the notorious carpet sharks as some kind of reward). Hopefully I can go see a snake in real life soon and feel comfortable with it
I was a marine bio major... I chipped in with a group of people through a friend (so it was cheap), to the British Virgin Isands and we rented a caramaran. One experience was I dove under the boat and was immediately face to face with a barracuda who was pretty longer than me. Ended up, we figured, he learned that if he hung out under anchored boats, at night when the boat had its lights on it would attract other fish, we stayed there a few nights and he was always clearly hunting at night... We called him Barry. Then I ended up in the water with a nurse shark. I wasn't alarmed because it was only 1, and she was sitting on the bottom of the sea floor. It was the first time I had an experience with a shark in the wild, there was no cage, and when she had enough of me looking at her- she was GONE. I knew sharks were fast, but there's seeing them lazy in aquariums and watching them in videos- it did not prepare me for that speed. Yeah- if she wanted to hurt me I wouldn't have had a chance to punch the eyes or tip of their snout like they say. And lastly- I lived in Brooklyn NYC a total of 30 years, and we had a massive flock of quacker parrots by a high school called John Dewey. Apparently a supply going to a pet store had an accident and all the quackers got loose. There well over a thousand. It's crazy!
Once I saw a story where this exotic bully passed away at ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. And the breeders CELEBRATED that, calling it a long life. Most dogs aren't even at their best shape at that age and are still maturing, and these bullies are dropping before 5. No dog should be bred like that.
I absolutely love all of your points you made in this video. I especially hated the dog training one. My dog knows he can not go through any door with out sitting a waiting for me to tell him ok. And seeing the orcas trying to hunt was amazing! Orcas are such amazing creatures and truly don't deserve to be in tiny concrete tanks. It is so sad.
The magnificence of that Orca to lure the seagull was just poetry in motion. That was my favourite clip. The least favourite was the designer dog. Breeding practices taking a backward step, not at all for the benefit of the dog but for human wants.
I've trained my dogs to wait and not rush out the door, and that's not how??? like you never need to do that. teaching sit and stay is so much easier and safer
you asked for our thoughts on these 'exotic bullies' And mine is simple: Anything with a smushed face is cruel to the dog. The difficulties for the dog as a result is not fair on them. Short legs are also not good, but they're less of a concern than smushed faces.. My sister loves the smushed faces and has an old english bulldog and a frenchie.. both had to have knee surgeries, both needed surgery for breathing. Not only expensive but an ordeal for a lil pup to go through... Not fair... Not only her, but people i've met with these dogs complain about health issues and vet bills and my only concern is if it goes through that much, then what must the dog feel?
I don’t like how the ferret lady hears her unsupervised ferret causing a commotion, but rather than go to help him she has to go make sure she has the camera running. Surely the ferret’s safety is more important than the opportunity of getting a few likes and shares.
Em: Freaking out at the shark one Me: Awww, what a cute shark!!! ( I want to be a marine biologist and swim with sharks btw, and I might be a little crazy)
I have a rescue who was badly abused, the trauma is still with him 6 years later. It took me months to work with him, holding him back until it was safe, giving reassurance, and a "bad boy" when he used his claws to literally claw to get out the door. He no longer does this years later, but had I used this technique on him Im positive he would be afraid of me now, or not trust me. Treat inforcement saved me.
I agree with always watching your ferret! I work at a shelter and someone found a ferret in a mattress that was on the street. No one came for him but now he has an amazing home with other ferrets
Oh Em, btw, that “exotic pitbull” is an “exotic bully” which is an “American bully”. Doesn’t make it better cause it’s still sad for the ‘little’ dog. It’s even a breed recognized by the AKC now... Also, fun little question, would/have you ever considered pet rats?
The AKC is a joke, they have deep political ties that let them keep the puppy mills running that fuel their business, so an AKC certification for a breeder is more of a warning sign than anything.
@@alisona.4166 Not all are bad honestly, a ton of AKC breeders are quite good! Just treat it like getting a dog from any other breeder, if it’s sketchy don’t buy and check another. My boyfriend got a black lab puppy from AKC, the breeder seemed fine as he went in their house and got to see all the pups and the parents which normally doesn’t happen with puppy mills and such..
I've always been more fascinated, and also terrified, of Orcas than of sharks. Hell, there are clips of Orca pods killing Great Whites just for the fun of it out there. Everytime someone sees an Orca, though, they think "Oh, cute Free Willy! but for sharks, it's "Ah! Jaws!"
I have a 40 pound goldendoodle puppy who is VERY hyper and sort of door darts but never leaves our house, he is very smart and learns well because I NEVER use force or scaring him to do something. Please do not harm your dog or any pet, thank you.
Okay, but thank you so much for actually accepting the history of the Apbt! Of course in todays times we shouldn't support dog fighting anymore, but I see so much people coming up with the "nanny dogs" myth and all that stuff. Just accept the fact that Apbts are bred to be animal agressive and very prey driven, accept them for this, this is what they should be. I was so happy when I heard you actually talking about the historical correct backround of the bulldog- type dogs :)
Those exotic pitbulls or whatever that abomination is supposedly called just seem like they will be as much of a disaster as Pugs just way worse...at least pugs have a normal back and long-ish legs for their body. This is just...it hurts to watch that animal run...it just looks like literally every movement is a challenge for them...
I know right! These exotic dog breeds or what they’re called should be banned. Dog breeding should create better dogs in terms of health and temperament. Whatever that poor dog was.... not healthy, that’s animal abuse.
the way i trained my dog to not door dart was i would tell him sit before i opened the door and then i would slowly open it - prior to this i taught him the wait command - and i would tell him to wait, he's gotten to the point where he waits until I say "okay", trained him via positive reinforcement and never once used fear or injury as a training method
12:00 That reminds me! Sharks are covered in teeth! Like actual tiny teeth, with enamel and dentine and stuff (side note, teeth are modified scales, which makes it make a little more sense). They've got little ridges and stuff which makes them super streamlined! Think of it like ice skates, they're way better for ice than regular shoes right? Just like teeth and water! 😂😂 I don't remember the exact science but I think that's very cool 😎
As a professional dog trainer what the guy did was exactly the right thing. Things to note. One. The door was not slammed it was closed, the door is hollow see the glass. This is why it might have seemed like the door qas slammed when it wasent. 2. Positive reinforcement may work in some cases but for a dog who darts out a door into possible oncoming traffic it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for that dog to be aware of the door. 3. The dog was not afraid of the door the dog had NO fear signs of the door at all. The dog looked to the trainer for direction. If the dog was fearful it would have jerked back on the leash had ears pinned yawning lip licking some sort of sign like hey im nervous which it didnt
I agree with you on the one where the trainer is using fear to "train" this dog not to door dart. It does look like he is controlling the door....he's not slamming it hard on the dog and while the impact of the door does make the dog jump, he's not crying in pain.....but its the principle of the matter. We see it when the trainer leads the dog away and opens the door again....the dog is now scared of the door. If he uses fear to teach the dog not to rush at the door, this might inevitably backfire and instead, teach this dog that ANYTHING connected to going outside is a negative thing that will cause him pain. Had the trainer used positive reinforcement to teach the dog, he would see it as a GOOD thing and not a bad thing. "If I'm good and wait patiently at the door, I get something yummy"
