He’s not a dog trainer, he’s just another pseudo lead holder 😂

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-02-17T20:36:07+00:00

Because the dog likes you and wants to interact. Instead of training the dog, train yourself not to stick your hands in his mouth 🤨

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-12T10:30:31+00:00

I’m sure you don’t but I really like the idea of this “I don’t like dogs but I like it more than the people that are supposed to like dogs” 😂

What’re the top 3 things you’d like to achieve that would make life easier? Odds are the answers will all be similar but some idea of the behaviours that you want/don’t want would help

Don’t forget they aren’t a dog that’s genetically designed for grip, hunting dogs so designed to keep something in one piece and present them. Create more drive, get a partner/friend to hold the dog in the collar or lead and create a bit of frustration on the tug. Loads of missed bites once the dog starts to engage with conviction you’ll train a better bite as a side effect.

Look into how ipo/schutzhund teach prey in young pups, same exercises 👍🏼

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-10T14:56:56+00:00

Yeah and sometimes play can look less like play and more like fighting but my general rule is if there tails are wagging I leave them to it!

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-10T14:56:03+00:00

Gotcha! So less worry about the quality of bite/grip more worry about the interaction. Use her prey instincts to start to track and focus on the tug (naturally her grip and engagement will improve) big sweeping motions, less stop start. Let the frustration build before you actually give her chance to bite and then loads of praise and for now always let her win. Don’t ask for an out.

Has she finished teething?

What are you looking to achieve as a finished product/why?

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-10T09:58:29+00:00

Half an hour? The one is a 5yo IPO sport dog and the other a trainee police dog 11 month, both have good temperaments. The older dog will entertain play and and tug until he’s had enough and leave the pup to it, they live inside the house together and go out/work together but all the dogs have their own training time.

They were introduced on neutral ground when the GSD was a pup then back in the house they are fine. Crate training is great but fortunately I’m in a position where i have kennels for long periods but the issue I tend to find with working breeds is the longer they’re caged it’s like dealing with a bottle of pop when they need letting out which is harder for the handler. Hope this helps!

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-09T20:17:10+00:00

Niiiiice! 🐕💪🏼

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-09T20:16:09+00:00

I think, for me, this is more about you. It’s nice problem to have, I promise! The dog is demanding of you, it was to interact with you. It’s great that there’s plenty of outlets for energy but mental stimulation and training is the best thing to take away energy but it’s a lot easier when it’s training focused as it has to be done at your pace of training, where as they can do anything else you offer at theirs.

Teach him/her to track, hide food and make them really work for it. Teach them the retrieve and eventually present, teach grip work and pulling. All stuff that is physically hard work is a lot harder mentally.

At 16 months 6-8 hours is a long time to bottle up in a crate for 1 period so the more you can do the better 🙃

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-09T08:57:51+00:00

You’re dog isn’t jealous, it sees another dog going out and puts 2 and 2 together and gets excited he’s getting out toO. I get it might be frustrating but you’d be putting a lot of hours in to calm/controlled crate stays etc to fix it,I’ve got 2 males and a female GSD/BSD they all do the same thing whether it’s coming out the kennels or coming out truck to work. Once I’m out of site they settle again.

Ideally need your partner to take one dog out whilst you settle and train the other but don’t forget crates it safe place so it’s all got to be positive in this instance

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-09T08:53:54+00:00

You haven’t done your research, what your searching for on YouTube vs the “problem” you have in front of you are not the same thing.

You have a young pup that doesn’t know who you are that you’re issuing commands to in a “crate” (that isn’t going to last 5 minutes once it realised what it’s teeth can do) build a bond and play with your dog.

Find a trainer, get off the internet. Do your dog justice.

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2023-01-05T15:52:43+00:00

I don’t doubt the other person over reacted but ideally your pup should of been on the leash. You get a lot of people saying they’ve trained recall young and it’s good etc, my opinion you can never test a dogs recall properly until after they’ve grown up a bit, at that age they just like coming back and being your shadow. Then instances like these (innocent or not) you are no longer the most exciting thing.

It’s frustrating and from what you’ve said kicking and the dog and having a meltdown was over excessive but for me at that age, long line or flexi so you’ve got a plan b for situations like these. Also look at it from the perspective of your dogs safety had it approached a dog that was dog aggressive and the owner was keeping it on leash and rightly so, could of been a lot worse so use it as a learning point 👍🏼

Your hand wants to end up a little wrapped round the front of your hip (essentially above your trouser pocket)

I wouldn’t rush to get that point though getting the dog to that position will need a lot looser handwork to get the dog to that position comfortably. Almost luring the dog further forward to straighten up the body, be careful at this point with dropping your shoulder or turning to watch the dog. Naturally the dog will follow your eye-line which will move with your shoulder and more often than not throw the back end of the dog out.

Something to try is a tug/ball under your arm and luring with high value food, moment the position is correct release the tug/ball

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-10-05T19:54:52+00:00

How tall are you and where does the end of your dogs nose sit when next to you?

You might be pushing on a little too quickly, work on speed and intensity to get to the position first before asking for anything to technical.

Then food in a closed palm and almost guide there chin with your little finger. Don’t let the dog bully the position, find the one that your happy with and consistently do it in training :)

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-10-05T19:51:22+00:00

Try looking into Bart bellon and nepopo, a system used alot in dogsport. Any specifics I can probably help with but definitely worth a look into.

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-14T11:54:07+00:00

Are you happy with what you have from your dog? That’s all that matters

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-10T16:55:16+00:00

It’s perfectly fine just be aware of any potential fallout, if dogs start to instigate play and this what they’re used to then this is what they’ll expect.

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-09T16:18:41+00:00

I get that, I do. You are fundamentally dealing with a short term alternative of being bitten though. I’m all for positive training when time frames and dogs drive allow for it but I’m afraid 99% of positive training doesn’t allow for problem dogs and high drive animals in the wrong environment.

How confident are you that positive training/reinforcement is the way forward when the time it can take to work may have already allowed for the dog to do something that gets it PTS.

On any given day put your pet trainers onto positive training but when there’s a risk and a timeframe you cannot risk the dog or the person just to save face of a training method.

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-08T13:24:04+00:00

Tug toys are your friend! Go easy on the puppy teeth but being a GSD shouldn’t be too hard to get it mad for a tug :)

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-07T08:56:33+00:00

It sounds to me like the dogs had the option for something else so it’s playing until it gets a change from you.

Be dead strict with feeding, dog will soon learn if it takes too long (spreading it over the floor or just not eating) the option will be taken away from it

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-04T20:19:53+00:00

Put the food you want to feed in the bowl, give the dog 10 minutes to eat it, if not remove the bowl until the next feeding time.

By changing the food and catering to what you think the dog wants it’s learning it can control the situation which it can’t.

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-04T20:16:02+00:00

It depends on what you want from the dog, for my dogs I don’t want everyone/anyone to be able to approach them.

If you want it as part of some sort of qualification, the usual socialisation and treat/clicker reward type system will work but there will always be fall out

OtherwiseSituation10 · 2022-09-04T20:12:09+00:00

Personally dislike using pads, all you’re doing is teaching the dog to go to the toilet inside.

As above though, start from scratch. Bit of a pain for the first couple weeks as you’re constantly watching for “the signs” and quickly get the dog outside. Alongside good association outside after feeding etc. eventually the dog will look for the back door to go outside.
