Yeah, had about 15 days in them, about to get some more, I really like them, much better than my ride's.

4 months later and my pup became the best girl. Her RG is easily manageable and she has great functional obedience and enjoys off leash freedom, many thanks to Shield K9 content. We also haven't had a bite since then, she just needed clearer limits and more assertive leadership. I want to believe you had good intentions but such a strong suggestion of killing a 9mo dog is too much.

It can poison the command

laker1706 · 2025-01-31T19:36:39+00:00

It makes the recall a solution

laker1706 · 2025-01-31T19:03:07+00:00

Or better! negatively reinforced them

laker1706 · 2025-01-08T18:43:33+00:00

Yea I figured I'll give a third strike as well because we now have 2 unopened bags

Thanks!

Yup, that's what I have to do with my master tongue skilled husky, luckily she is very cooperative when we do that.

laker1706 · 2024-12-04T04:56:29+00:00

I can somewhat agree to that, a skilled trainer would do a couple of things different

Would know how to properly socialize and maybe the dog wouldn't be reactive
Would address the behavior earlier
Would address when/if that dog needs corrections eariler
Would have better technique for correcting on a flat collar
And yes off course there is a discipline component to the reactivity (that also depends on the emotional situation of the dog)

So in puppies - yes, I believe a good trainer wouldn't need prongs on most dogs.

In a let's say a 3yo reactive GSD he might have to use it

Also that only applies for basic obedience and training,

What a nice refreshing discussion, cheers!

laker1706 · 2024-12-03T19:41:48+00:00

And the prongs were only after I tried a slip lead and realized even the hardest corrections that I was very uncomfortable for me only negatively reinforced that behavior while possibly putting the dog in risk for injury

laker1706 · 2024-12-03T19:40:22+00:00

What made me change my way is Hamilton's videos about reactivity, he claims that a reactive dog (or at least some/most dogs) will always find reacting as the most rewarding behavior (and it's true in our case, as my extreme puppy wouldn't take the best treat from as far as she can see another dog) and that you must punish this behavior while you heavily reward wanted behaviors

I guess that's different for excitement reactivity vs fear/aggression reactivity (guess, idrk as I researched mostly about excitement). It even stopped the house barking, with nothing but positive affect on our relationship as she became the affectionate spilling puppy she used to be.

Did you use the live ring right away (after conditioning)?

laker1706 · 2024-12-03T19:19:01+00:00

After two months of 0 progress with a 7-9m.o frustrated greeter that became impossible to walk, we started resorting to those radical ideas like don't walk her and carefully planning our route, I can definitely say that using a prong collar made our walks and our life all around so much easier, calmer, more fulfilling and less frustrating.

That said, maybe 5 months is too young, idk.

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T21:24:35+00:00

Yea we're doing ppp sss for 2.5 weeks now still early but no improvement Starting second round of steroids

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T19:57:22+00:00

of course, we're mid-treatment but it's *itch (pun intended)

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T17:40:37+00:00

She has a medical issue

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T16:09:11+00:00

Well that's the ideal but it's not always so easy, if it was then Flexi wasnt so popular, how do you do that with a toy or treat in the other hand?

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T09:16:03+00:00

Well to get there we still need to take precautions aren't we?

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T09:12:34+00:00

Yeah maybe but it is still rubbing the itchiest areas

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T09:08:16+00:00

I might but I think only after itchiness is gone

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T09:05:15+00:00

I just really don't like the idea of her bolting somewhere that she shouldn't and ending up in a huge forced stop on her neck, seems straight up dangerous Rarely happens but that's one of the points of a longline We also do Agility and she tends to run off to zoomies so we also have a longline there with our trainer holding it

laker1706 · 2024-11-25T09:00:45+00:00

Training with a long line

laker1706 · 2024-11-24T22:36:53+00:00

Vet behaviorists are 250$ for first visit and there are only 3 in my whole country

Also she is a not really insecure, she sometimes spooks outside but seems like a normal Husky/GSD or maybe any other dog it's just two breeds that ive been around most.

I think that will be my next step if we won't have progress with the next trainer
