The MANY PITFALLS of POSITIVE ONLY dog training 

Agreed.

I agree. I learn so much... and I don't even have a dog at the moment. But I learn something with every new video.

Thank you.

I can totally see what you mean by "instant gratification". Its easy to forget that you need to trust the process and be patient.

Check out his videos here on RU-vid and especially his members section at www.robertcabral.com. He‘s covered this quite a few times and in detail.

check out his online training.

Is it possible? Yes! Is it possible for your dog? Who knows. This is one of those things that vary from dog to dog. Some breeds will have a stronger prey drive and some individuals just have that personality to defy you. You'd just to keep working on your distraction proofing and release commands. You should probably post the age and breed of your dog, it'd help.

@@saramations Thanks so much for responding. Australian Cattle Dog. 5 yrs old. I feel if I had access to real deer in a fenced area and could work with her and the deer I could successfully train her to stop chasing them. We see squirrels enough that I am able to keep her from chasing them, but deer is quite another matter. We just dont see them enough. One reason why I wanted to ask is I see too many trainers say things like " I can stop your dog from chasing deer" but when pressed they are using a shock collar. Or other trainer has said that as long as they wont chase a tossed chicken leg they wont chase deer, and that just is not true. And another one clams as long as you teach a good leave it....but she hasnt "proofed" her dogs with real deer. It is frustrating. I was just looking for some tips and real honesty from other trainers.

@@BosomBuddyCreations Why is using an e-collar not an option? My apologies if I’m wrong, but I noticed you called it a “shock collar,” so I’m wondering if you might be misinformed about them. They are not used to shock dogs. Yes, they are an aversive correction, but so is telling a dog “no” or using training collars. They’re a tool that can be very helpful and take you and your dog’s training to the next level, especially with off leash training by giving you a way to communicate with your dog without having to have it on a leash. It is very important to know how to use them properly though. I know Robert uses them on this channel so I’m sure he has some good videos showing how they work and how to use them. So, just throwing it out there in case you reconsider.

I'm no expert 🤣 but Huskies have massive amounts of energy and an hour's walk is nothing to them. On the wrestling thing, my first Doby and I had great roll around the floor/ grass play fights. He would put his jaws around my arms and legs but never even a bruise. I would in return pin him down and play head locks. Neighbours thought it odd but we had such a close bond. Miss the little (50kg) bugger to bits 😭 never had a dog before or since his passing.
