This is a continuation of the video “Barking Episode 3- barking on a walk”. Please watch that video first to work on the foundation exercises. Also watch my videos on loose leash walking as a tight leash can cause a dog to be more aroused and reactive on walks.

Step One-

Click and feed your dog as he alerts towards the gate he usually barks at BEFORE he barks, and then walk the other way. Repeat this step until he is no longer alerting. You can also feed your dog for looking, instead of clicking. However, if you do this and your dog turns around to look at the food, don’t give it to him. You want the other dog to be the predictor of reinforcement, NOT your hand movement!

Step Two-

Walk closer to the gate or window that the reactive dog usually appears at and either feed the dog AS they are looking, or click the dog and feed. Then walk away.

Step Three-

Pass the house in an arc. Walk your dog across the street so that he is as far away from the barking dog as possible as you both cross. As the dog begins to look confident and relaxed you can walk the dog in a closer arc. Keep in mind to not walk TOO close to the other dog, as you don’t want to cause it any undue stress!

If your dog becomes reactive, simply say “lets go” and go the other way (with NO TREAT). Practice the cue “lets go” before using it with distractions. If your dog keeps reacting make it easier for your dog, walk up to where he is comfortable, click and then turn back the way you came.

Step Four-

When you have changed your dogs emotional response to dogs barking at fences, continue to give your dog information and feedback!
Walk past the barking dog, and tell your dog what a good dog he is for being so brave and relaxed. Remember you can use your voice and calm touch to tell your dog they are wonderful! You can also use calming signals as you pass, to tell your dog you are not worried about the other dog.

Tips-

1- Use management and prevention. Start practicing this exercise with the dogs that your dog has the lowest reaction to and then work up to the ones that he has the highest reaction to. If that means driving past the house up the street and getting out to walk your dog, it’s worth it!

2- If your dog recently reacted to another dog, when passing a house with a dog at the gate, go back a step and increase distance because your dog will be more likely to react.

3- If you are not seeing improvement- try using better treats and try working from further distances first. You can also practice just hanging out in front of your house, or practicing ’settles’ with your dog on leash to help your dog be calmer when outside.

4-Don’t leave your reactive dog behind a fence or window when you are not home- as they will learn to become reactive to other dogs.

These days a lot of folks have pets. They’re excellent for keeping you company, and studies have shown that folks with pets are more healthy than those without pets. Naturally once you have the pets you need to take excellent care of them. If you happen to have a dog, you are going to need to wear comfortable walking shoes if you take it anywhere.

One of the explanations why folks with dogs are healthier than those that do not have dogs is the incontrovertible fact that dogs need to be walked continually, usually once or more or two times a day. All that walking will be simpler to do if you’re cosy, which means wearing comfortable shoes when you take your dog out. This way you and your pet can get the exercise you need in order to remain healthy. You won’t be as almost convinced to just do a short walk till the dog does its business and then go back home.

Of course it’s not only the walks which make cushty shoes important. It occurs from time to time that your pet might escape from you, perhaps to follow after another dog or animal. This means that you’ll have to run after him to catch him, and that is actually hard to do if you are not wearing snug shoes. You do not need to need to stress about your dog getting lost or hurt, so it is critical to be in a position to catch him as soon as practicable.

Simply because you’ve got to wear cosy shoes though doesn’t suggest that you can’t look trendy. There are any amount of corporations that make comfortable shoes that are a bit more dressy. You do not have to go out in sneakers, you might wear some cute sandals and still be comfortable if you get them from one of the firms that concentrates on these sorts of shoes.  Even comfortable heels are available here.

Pets can be wonderful companions, but they can also need lots of work. You need to take care of them, and wearing the right shoes will make that easier, whether or not you are taking your dog for a walk or dragging around all of the food and supplies you will need to get to keep your pet cheerful and healthy. You would like to ensure that you’re able to easily go where ever your dog does and handle whatever comes your way, so be sure you choose the right shoes to be able to do that.

Take a look at these footwear brands and more by visiting Zappos or ComfortableFoot today.  Both of these sites offer a great catalog and more information on the most comfortable walking shoes in the country.

This is a video of Splash’s first lessons at a walking handstand. I was so inspired by Heather and Jesse’s most amazing walking handstand that I thought I would give it a try with Splash. However, no dog can do it cuter than Jesse on JustJesse197 ’s youtube channel Other walking handstand inspirations are
Hechiasia
Zsianz1
Yolle555

If your dog can do a walking handstand that you clicker trained (not one where they are being punished) please post as a video response.

I thought I would show the unfinished results as it it quite fun to see Splash figuring it all out. In my living room she is panting because in between the tricks she is getting to play with a balloon and run around the living room like a mad dog (this is her favorite reward in the world).

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 to handle at this point in their training
3-Never feed the dog for looking at your treats
4-Use real meat or cheese for these exercises, the higher value the reinforcement the faster your dog will learn. If you use low level treats, your dog might not make any progress
5-You can use calming signals to help calm your dog on a walk. Yawning or sighing loudly when you see the distraction. You can also walk in an arc around the distraction rather than head on which is very unnatural for a dog to do.
6-If you are getting frustrated, better turn and go home immediately than take it out on the dog.
