My Everyday Dog Training Tools by Doggy Dan
The Online Dog Trainer
The bottom line is that their behavior is not good. It has suddenly changed. This
is their flight or fight response kicking in. If your dog is not on a leash at this
point then they are off and out of control.
As you can imagine, none of this is pleasant to watch. So what happens? Well we
start to become frustrated, angry, and annoyed with the situation and
sometimes our dog and our reactions simply make things worse. It is a viscous
cycle and our training goes nowhere or backwards.
Understanding that you need to keep your dog well away from level 8 where the
adrenalin kicks in is crucial. And here is the secret. When you take things slowly
to start with, and your dog gets used to things at a slightly slower pace then the
pay off later on is huge.
Learn to work with your dog in the calm zone from 1-5 and take things slowly to
start with. If you are in this zone and your dog sees something that gets them
excited they will be aware of it however they will only end up at say a level 6 or
7. Since no adrenalin kicks in they will calm down really quick again for you –
ready to carry on with your training.
If you are really serious about helping your dog, learning to read them in every
situation and setting them up to win in every situation then I recommend you
take a look at my video series on the Energy Meter, which will help you do just
that:
All of this is inside my video website which you can take a quick tour around
