Barking- Episode 3 – barking on a walk -dog training
This is the third episode in the series of Barking. In this episode I will show you the beginning exercises on how to teach your dog not to bark on a walk. Stay tuned and Subscribe to see other exercises that are very useful for reactive dogs and dogs that are hyperactive. All these exercises benefit ANY dog, not just fearful, reactive or aroused dogs. These same exercises are GREAT for dogs with little impulse control, the kind of dog that wants to pull towards everything on a walk. ———————– When a dog becomes aroused or reactive, it is due to chemicals being released by the brain, effecting the dogs behavior. Not only does a dogs behavior change because of these chemicals and stress hormones, but their heart beat, respiration, and blood flow will change too. Jerking a dogs neck will not reduce these chemicals, instead it will INCREASE them. Barking can be reinforcing, so the more a dog is allowed to bark the more likely they will continue barking in the future. When you and your dog are surprised on a walk and your dog starts to bark, simply say “Let’s Go” and move briskly in the opposite direction. You can use this cue whenever you change direction unexpectedly or need to move from an area that is causing your dog to be over their threshold. Here are some tips: 1-when on a walk cross the street to set your dog up for success 2-If you have a very fearful or reactive dog, simply change the direction of your walk when you see something your dog wont be able …

OMG this was so incredibly helpful! My dog Abbey has ALWAYS been reactive on walks and I’ve never known what to do to stop it. This tutorial was TONS of help. I’m going to start training it. That Canadian Husky is GORGEOUS, btw.

WOW! WOW! this is a REALLY EXCELLENT vid, i love the way you have shown it, I love that you have put the info on about the chemical reaction within the dogs body. Education helps people to understand better what is going on, so that they then can have the knowledge how to help their dog. This provides it all…fantastic is defo one to share:))) i love the cue ‘Lets go’, i use it often for changes in direction and to get the dogs attention back on you:))

What do I do when my husky wont stop crying? He cries a lot at night. My brother gets mad at me, I don’t know how to tell him to stop it without waking up and I have school at 7AM and it’s hard for me.

Your videos are very interesting!!
How would you recommend to go about a dog that barks to people on the roof? We live in a city and our dog barks like mad when the neighbors get on the roof- while we DO want her to warn us of such things, once I come out to check it out and tell her it’s fine, she still won’t shush.
We can’t really ‘pull her away’ from what’s making her bark as she has a view of the roof from all of our yard.

@solvt my blog is very boring as I dont write in it often!

@LanikinsNJ Yes. It does.

@soccerhunxx Try to walk away as briskly as you can encourage your dog to come with you. Turn around earlier at first. Work on the “lets go” FIRST without other dogs around before using it! Remember to proof!

@NativeHiro That tells you your dog is so stressed to be out of the house that his body has cut off the blood circulation to his stomach causing him to not be hungry. You need to habituate him to being out of the house, take him places, perhaps feed him his meals by hand when out and about? Make sure being out side is the ‘norm’ not a rarity.

@Sunysunshineface Did you ask him personally? maybe hes changing his ways… ? or making up some other theory of his own that is base on punishment? but I wont believe it until he stops grabbing dogs by their necks and shaking them. I have not looked at any of his videos since his ‘how to teach a stay’ video… but since his video is still on youtube, he must still believe in that form of training…

what happens when my dog just keeps barking even when we walk away
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:49 am
I love your videos and we have my puppy in training – he is so smart in home but god forbid take him on a walk he doesnt even CARE about the treats…clicker doesnt even seem to do anything either.

@kikopup Zak George suprisingly doesn’t agree with the “dominance” theory either. Caesar Milan I can’t say the same for. Haha. Love your videos! I really needed this one!

This is great. Will these same tips work for squirrels? My Spaniels are squirrel maniacs. They usually walk fairly well but when they see a squirrel they go a little insane. Very embarrassing on early morning weekend walks!

I have just come across your video page, home page and blog, and I will follow them closely from now on. I was a bit stuck in teaching my dog pivoting, and I also wanted to find some new tricks to train, and when I came across your video page, I got all the help I needed, and SO much more! Now I have watched lots of your videos and set up a training plan for passing dogs, for barking at strange people, and of course for pivoting and tricks
Thank you so much for sharing!
