same. great content and explanations

@@lemondope4000 happend to me too 😍

Awesome and congrats.So you got him to do it solely by watching the videos?

@@anthonymirando7479 this video was an eyeopener! Because in the first two weeks I thought that going to the dogpark was a greasy thing to do for my dog. The opposite is true! Follow these three rules consistently and spent a lot of time with your dog like playing, training and (structured) walking and you and your dog will understand.

@@edwinwienke6593 I see

I don't think they mean not to socialise the dog, the dogs are clearly socialised to the other dogs in the room. I think it's more about not letting them meet random strangers and random dogs, and more about socialising them with family and friends dogs. This type of super dedicated distraction training is for working dogs, not just normal pups, so they're probably trained to behave differently on and off the job like service dogs are

They aren’t making the dog do it 24/7 I believe that when on command the dog has to pay attention to the handler but u can teach them a break command so that the dog know it can do what it wants (with in reason) meaning they can interact with other dogs

Always protect your dog!!! And yourself!!! That loose dog running at you could be setting up for a fight. That stranger could be coming up and hit your dog. You get in front of your dog. You back off the other dog. You tell the human to go on his way. I have been in situations where stray dogs attacked my dog. Where a stranger tried to grab the leash out of my hand and take my dog. Where a friend had her purse stolen when two people asked to pet her dog and distracted her. I am never letting that happen again.

You can probably take them to dog parks or maybe teach them a command to tell them that they can go interact with other dogs.

Expose them to the presence of all kinds of people and dogs by taking them to different environments, but do not allow strange humans or dogs to interact with your dog.

Socialising is not about interacting with strangers, but about being exposed to different people, things and situations. Neutral is desirable.

its never too late. start over in training

I’m hardly an expert but I think I can give some advice or at least my observation to answer your question. No I do not think they would become hyper aware. Do you see the number of dogs in the room here? They all see the other dogs but the handler is the one they are “hyper aware” of because he is the praiser, the treat giver, etc. So to an extent I do think they are getting socialized and de-associated to other dogs and random people. As far as letting them actually interact with another dog? Safety first. Usually we know other dog owners, family or friends. Use them in your training to desensitize your dog, get them used to each other while reinforcing training. Use a fenced in yard or a dog park and practice then when training is over let them play? I would think the removal of the leash in such an area would be sort of like a green light for play, like you would do in your own space at home where you play and run your dog off leash. Almost like a service animal: vest means work, no vest means play and relax time. I hope this helps and if I’m incorrect in anything here please do correct me! I’m here to learn too.

Socialization is not direct contact with the stimuli as most think but rather coexistence. As a handler you restrict the access to it not its exposure. Dog-to-dog socialization doesn’t have to be direct interaction in the form of butt sniffing or play. Dogs can smell each other way before the handler sees one.

Are you trying to tell a professional how to run HIS JOB?

dude 5 month.

@@fazer215 5 month is not a problem to teach a dog to hold an object :) my technique was wrong. Eventually I taught to hold aport both my terv and my new mal too. I guess I don't need help in this direction anymore, but I'd still be happy to hear his input on the subject.

@@TheName7293 teaching complex behaviors at such a young age is not productive. I just engage with em and position clicking and food luring. And most importantly i make sure i dont supress drive with 10000 commmands

@@fazer215 watch Ivan balabanov, food luring is not as important as you think.

@@fazer215 creating a strong play based relationship is a lot better and natural for the dog than food luring into weird positions for the dog. Ivan Balabanov talks about this on his channel in a live I will give you the link

oh no he's probably already a taco by now

yeah probably is but it's not sad. to you it is, the dog looks very fine and happy. such a good boy.

How is it sad?

You mean the GSD Haz is working?? The GSD getting the ball as a reward?? You obviously have never worked with a high drive WORKING dog. This GSD is an excellent example of taking a high drive dog and teaching him how to focus, teaching him control, and teaching him how life works. Haz knows what he is doing.
