Interesting
Hello there I am analyzing your [ Animal Training Academy ] KZread channel. you are making great videos but not getting that viewer according to your videos. As an SEO expert, I understand your videos are not SEO properly. basically due to not doing SEO your video does not reach a worldwide audience. Due to this, the video does not get views, subscribers, and comments. I suggest you SEO your videos properly, your channel will improve greatly. why are you not solving these problems? Your channel is not progressing due to these issues. Thanks and Regards, Mahmud
This is so good.
There’s an important distinction not mentioned in the bowl test. This only works for dogs who react to it and allows you to see how resilient the dog is to novel experiences they find scary/fearful of. If the dog doesn’t react at all then it doesn’t mean they are confident, simply that they didn’t find that stimulus scary. To test those dogs you need to find a stimulus that induces a response from the dog to see how they cope with it (bounce back or do not bounce back) - more here Google “Jean Donaldson”
Thank you! This was a beautiful reminder.❤ I always quote Sarah Owings saying "principles, not recipes." Thank you, Francesca, and Ryan...for all you do. ❤
Nice
Nice
Hi, Ryan! Thanks for having Eva on as a guest! I have had the privilege of meeting and speakung to her in person. I must say that i was disappointed that so much time was spent on history, definitions, etc. that you ran out of tine to discuss the process, teaching, srart buttons, etc. and how to teach clients who are not as savvy... Maybe a part 2 soon? Thanks!❤
Will share this with Eva now and plan part 2 🙏 - Thanks so much for the feedback!
Tenacity! not stubborn❤
Have you tried more severe corrections on an e-collar? Seems unfair to the dog if you have not exhausted all the options. From what you are saying, it does not seem very hard case.
Some places have bans on tools. Like UK.
Bravo
Can I help you grow your KZread channel?
I don't understand how it's too small. It looked loose. What am I missing?
Thanks for the question and for watching this video from 5 years ago 🥳. I can't remember off the top of my head, but after a quick scan, I believe the space behind the front legs wasn't large enough. This means the harness straps might have been rubbing against the "arm-pits". I hope that makes sense.
Wonderful conversation! I'm completing my thesis at Virginia Tech & I'm focusing on dog olfaction and reactivity.
How do I get my dog from stop to spin around in circles and barking at my front door she is a 19month female German shepherd thanks
Look up impulse control and door greeting vids
Excellent video Sandra. Recently with great sadness I discovered from my husband's mom that she heard that my daughter has two dobermans and since last month the male bit her four occasions when she was eating, we can't visit to eat with my daughter as each time she is preparing food but especially eating the dog becomes very quiet and watches her whilst growling. When she tries to tell him off to leave the table area he has bitten her. I think she needs to get a professional help by training. This has caused issues because my daughter invited us for lunch but we had to refuse but we can't let her know that my husbands mom divulged about the doberman and the biting events. My mother in law told me not to repeat what she told me as she would telephone to report the dog to the authorities. Please help!!
All the people are talking mostly about dog euthanasia but not a video about aggressive cats euthanasia. Cats can be aggressive too
@@rosyclown They can't kill people but they can wound people.
I'm so glad this appeared on my KZread today. I met Linda at a seminar and we spoke briefly; with great enthusiasm she extolled the benefits of Zero to CD. It has been exciting to learn of her varied experiences and interests.
Thank you all for talking about this! Three days ago I had to put my dog Kane to sleep due to behavioral issues. Unfortunately I waited way too long to make this decision. He attacked almost every animal he came across, seriously injured members of our home on three different occasions, and more. I’m struggling with self blame and just telling myself I could’ve done more. He was only about 3 years old. I miss him so much. He was my best friend. This podcast helped a lot! Thank you guys ❤
Great interview! Thanks for this.
Excellent information.
I want to add to my previous story. These behaviors have been going on since she was about two years old. They are not new. In 2018 at the age of four the first bite occurre d. It was rationalized by me, saying I jerked my arm And dragged it across her teeth. that event brought in the Animal Behaviorlist and the medication. this has been an ongoing issue of about seven years. It was only recently that the aggression began to intensify. Putting her down was not a casual decision, nor one of convenience. I am lost without her, and the grief is overwhelming. She is being cremated and I can’t wait to bring my girl home. I loved her, I still love her, and I always well. She was special.
Thank you for this ! I “had” to put down my 9yo girl four days ago. I quote “had” because today I wouldn’t do it again. Today my grief is devastating while the events that led to the decision are fading. I can remember the fear I felt the night the decision was made, but I no longer feel it. Today “had” seems arbitrary. My girl was a gentle, healthy and beautiful dog. She loved everyone she met and they would remark on her manners and intelligence. She and I did most everything together, specially since the loss of my wife, her mommy, 18 months ago to cancer. Precious, gentle, sweet, and loving UNTIL. Very rarely, randomly and unpredictably she would explode in rage. After no more than 3 or 4 seconds, it was over. She’d become apologetic then secrete herself as if in shame. It would take calls for treats or a walk for her to come out and she was her perfect self again. There was never contact, just a clear message to leave her alone. After much testing including X-rays for orthopedic injuries, lab work for chemical imbalance and a general physical and behavioral assessment, the conclusion was lack of inhibition control. Though medicated, improved was not notable. The eruptions were not frequent, nonetheless , play, petting, snuggling only occurred when initiated by her. One month ago it happened while I tried to medicate her as I’ve always done twice a day. We make a game of it involving tricks and treats. It pretty much a non event. This time though she erupted. No contact but vicious. 4-5 seconds then over, apologetic, then ashamed. The remainder of the day she was her precious self. At night she cuddled with me while I pet her then she went to her crate. The next morning all was well, potty, breakfast, play etc. Then medication games which went well until I touched her. Again, the brief explosion, apologies, etc, except this time I was bit twice. Once on forearm and once on abdomen. Both bites were more snipping in nature but both drew blood and caused bruising. She was becoming more aggressive. Contact with the vet resulted in adjustments to her medication and a warning from the vet. He warned, she’s a big girl (86 pounds) powerful, and these events are so unpredictable. Be careful with her. For the next three weeks she was at my side constantly. Our walks were great, as was our play and cuddling. Five days ago as we were sitting on the bedroom floor, her cuddling against me and me petting her, I was thinking of how beautiful our last few days had been. As usual she eventually got up and went to her crate and I got up to open the bed. Same as we always do. Suddenly she exploded out of the crate and bit me twice. Arm and abdomen again, blood and bruising again. I have no idea what provoked this incident. There had been no noise made, nothing was bumped or dropped, nothing! After she left the room I secured a pillow in case she attacked again, and finished opening the bed. I was more rattled than usual because there was no known provocation to this. I considered closing her out of the bedroom but I just couldn’t do that to her. I laid in bed listening for her, prepared for the worst and realizing we could not live like this. She eventually returned without incident and went to her crate. At 2am I awoke and needed to go to the bathroom. I was on my side and felt her tightly pressed against my back. She comes to me in bed often but this time I was afraid to move. What if I startled her and provoked another attack while lying in bed. I clenched my pillow then started talking softly to her to try and wake her. After a minute or so she got up and returned to her crate. But, the last episode originated from her crate so I was still concerned. I turned on the lamp before I moved and waited. Nothing happened so I started talking to her as I sat up and moved to the bathroom, carrying the pillow. Before I returned I started talk again, got into bed, then the lamp. Needless to say it was a terribly stressful night. When the alarm went off I repeated all my 2am behaviors and went to the kitchen carrying the pillow. I wanted to talk myself out of a decision that I didn’t want to make but I keep remembering to things. I read once that a veterinarian told someone with a dog that was very ill that there was no perfect time to put the dog down. There was only two early and too late. And he warned, try not to be too late. My girl was not in pain though. She was in perfect health. But she had this monster inside her that would surface randomly and without warning. I also remembered the warning from our longtime veterinarian who warned of the unpredictability and the consequences. Should I not act in time. Based on the residual fear from the night before, the progression of violence, and the latest episode provoked for no known reason. I felt I had no choice, but to put my precious girl down. Of course, now, four days later, the fear subsiding, and the agonizing Pain of loss, I don’t think I could do it again. I apologize to her constantly but of course it’s far too late for that. Two things from your video helped me with considerations to mitigate my guilt. One was, forgive yourself for not walking on water. The other was confirmation of what my vet told me, don’t wait for the tragedy to occur. Thank you for your video…..broken hearted!

THANK YOU!!!
Amy is my absolute favorite!
so helpful and interesting!
its really sad to see such crappy people like this Jean Donaldson nit bag calling themselves dog trainers or positive only trainers. when she dont know the first thing about dogs. she is a terrible dog trainer and so-called trainers like this nutjob are the reason why so many dogs end up in shelters and put down every year and they need to be stoped and put out of business.
p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶ ✌️
Incredible podcast thank you both
wonderful talk Steve! cliff in tokyo
I have taken Karolina's class on emotions in animals. It is a great investment in learning about animal behavior.
I love this podcast so much. Thanks for doing it :)
Jean is amazing.
ah no she is not shes a POS who should not be teaching dog training when she dont know jack shit about dogs and she is also abuse to dogs in public when they dont do what she wants and cant get them to perform a trick for a treat she has been seen and video recorded losing her shit and swearing at the dogs and yelling at them when she losses her cool.
Two insightful thinkers and skilled trainers with excellent conversation flow. Kathy & Ryan definitely put a deeper and higher emphasis on self-compassion and acceptance and animal training and science. One of my favorite podcast sessions for sure!
Another great episode!
