aggression rehab and management

Training session with Hunkie. Rescue from Putnam Humane Society. Originally slotted for euthanasia after nationally cerfified canine behaviorist and trainer suggested a very low chance of rehabilitation success.

Jack has a tendency to bite when you do anything to him that makes him feel uncomfortable.  This video demonstrates how to patiently get a dog like Jack used to a muzzle to be used for future training.

One of the popular drills in aggression support group.  The greeting is a good way to reteach the trained dog the proper way to greet a person and their dog in the human world.  It is based on following the owner's lead and taking the back seat (not making the initiatives or decisions).  A great drill!

Muzzles are used on all the dogs for continued safety of all dogs and their handlers, since mistakes are sure to happen in these classes as the dogs continue to improve.

This is a great session for any student of the style to watch.  The video shows so many of the important aspects of the style at work.

There is great use of muzzle on both dogs and you will see what phase 2 looks like on a real stubborn dog and early transition from phase 2 to phase 3 on the "heel" with Hunkie.  We are also helping Elu with her tendency to bite Lisa when Elu feels threatened by another dog and doesn't have the option of flight.

I would consider this a must watch!

In the video we have: Mike, Earl, and Lisa.  Dogs are: Hunkie and Elu.
