Hi hi!! Aww yay for your dog!! Hehehe, i'm excited to get him a vest! I do try to show the good and the bad! I don't expect astro to be perfect 100% of the time!

I tell mine let’s get dressed 😅

Aww you're amazing!! 💕

@@AstroFromTheBlue I know you are, but what am I? 😉😂❤️

Hi hi Ro! Thanks for the car suggestions! We did upgrade to a different car seat, hopefully that will work! I'll definitely post another video about the new car seat i got! Thanks for all the training suggestions as well! Astro and I working really hard on his training! Thanks for the support :). looking forward to hearing more from you :)

hehe thanks julie! we're working hard :)

@@AstroFromTheBlue I tell my dogs sit and stay because if she don't she won't listen so like for car exciting I tell her you want to treat and she said she lays down and she's just as good and then I reward her I said Frozen she looks to me but really came true it just come down I told her you won't go bye-bye she will go she gets happy I put all of her stuff on and then she happy and goes that's how all I have

hi hi! Yes, I noticed that too especially with his sit and down commands! Ahh, thanks for the tip, will try that! I'm glad that works for your dog! 🥰

hi hi!! thanks for watching our video! i really appreciate it! i cant wait to get him a vest! it's a learning process for sure also, thanks for all the tips. we do work with him at home, i just haven't recorded them, but maybe i will! oouiu, i'm glad that you caught that moment where he goes into "work mode". as soon as he crosses into lowe's, somehow everything clicks for him and understands he needs to behave and work.

You can get patches that say “service dog in training “ to put on your vest that way if he acts up or gets distracted people are aware he is in training and you will be able to take him to stores that only allows service dogs

Yes they are! We call them his dumbo ears 🥰😂

hi hi!! Thanks for your support! I do love it when he gives me unasked eye contact! I try to make his down stays as distracting as possible hahahah

Hi Emile! Thanks for the tips! I do need to dedicate more time with astro in the car! astro doesnt like to be ignored and actually makes it worse! heheh best of luck training your dog!! hope to hear from you again!

Aww you're very welcome! They do take a long time! Much appreciated :)

hi hi! I am working on different techniques for leash pulling! I am using a shorter leash lately and its been working well! Unfortunately, he doesnt take that in the car :(

thank ya! Heheh i'm lowkey thinking the same thing while training 😅

hi hi!! It really depends on the day, but usually, yes we do exercise him before training! i guess it didnt happen this day! thanks for the rec tho!

hi hi!! he’s getting much better at engaging with me in distracting environments!

@@AstroFromTheBlue that's so good! I love Aussies and border collies. Also at least he likes walking unlike my Chihuahua..

hi hi! thanks for supporting our channel! yes, i will continue to post our outings! 🥰 good luck with your training!

heheh thank you!! i thought it would be nice to see different perspectives!

hi! thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to buckle the seat belt to his harness next time! i'm so sorry that you and your dog experienced that! I hope all is well :)

hi hi! i’m sorry for your loss! glad to hear that he’s doing better!! good luck with your training!!! but, yes we’ve heard of gentle leads, we are currently using a herm sprenger prong collar and it has helped immensely with his pulling :)

thanks for the tips! i have trouble having him stay on his DOWN, but i guess practice makes perfect!

Oh and Tom Davis has a podcast on car anxiety too it’s super helpful ☺️

Hi hi!! Thank you for your support! WE APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH 💙!! We love watching Tom Davis on KZfaq, but will def give his podcast a listen! Thanks for your nice comments, it's really encouraging to read !!

thanks for the tips!

hi charleen, you can totally do this!! good luck with your puppy! maybe you should talk to a professional to help you with the training?

we just got a prong collar! i'm excited but nervous at the same time to train with him!! thanks for the recommendations, will check them out!

I love Tom Davis on KZfaq too he’s amazing and taught me so much! So glad you are getting a prong collar! Used correctly they are great tools!

@@katelynhaffenden1978 ouuuu yes I love watching Tom Davis for both ecollar and prong training! I'm really excited to use the prong collar !

Thank ya! ❤️❤️💖

hiii!! thanks for supporting! Aussies are great, but can be vocal!

good luck in your search of finding your PSD! Aussies are ausome!

!! thats great that she does better in cars! we're still working on our car anxiety!! good luck with training! you got this! 🥰

!! Which treats did you end up using?

thanks for pointing that out, i can see how that can be confusing for him! 🥰

Thanks dado! We love you 💖

and yes vests make it much easier (I vest when training and working)

hi jax! good luck with your pup! what is his/her name?? don't give up! the training is hard work but it will pay off! :)

hi hi!! we did get a temporary vest if you look at our most recent videos!! 🥰

hi hi!! We are currently using a prong collar and he has improved so much! thanks for the tip tho! 🥰

hi hi!! yup, every time astro pulls i stop until he gets back to my side then we continue! good luck with your training!

Hi hi!! Thanks for supporting and watching our videos!! Will definitely make more videos about training tips! ☺️☺️

hi hi!! thank you for supporting our channel!! I just want to let you know that i am not a professional dog trainer!! Please don't take my training as your guide! if you need help, i recommend getting professional help!

Hi Kim! Wow that's wonderful that Maggie does so well! Do you mind sharing where you got your vest from? We're still looking for one!

hmmm, im thinking of using other tools for that!

hi hi! Yes, we are looking for a vest! Hopefully, soon enough he will connect that vests = work mode!

hi hi!! we are training with a prong or ecollar to help with his pulling! thanks for the suggestion though!

hi hi! Yes, we've done that. I've actually made a car anxiety training video, if ya wanna check that out. Will be coming out with more car anxiety trainings!

Hi Daniel! Thank you for the suggestion! I'm sorry that you have seen such horrible things! I will take this into consideration! Astro does like to stick his head out the window to help with his car nausea and drooling. do you have any suggestions where I can help him with those without opening the window?

@@AstroFromTheBlue Cracking the windows is fine restricting movement helps But also re-introducing the car in gradual steps just like any behavior that we train.. Most dogs outgrow it but there’s other things you can do like Dramamine and I’ll include a list. Adjust what your dog sees. Watching the world speed by in a blur through a side window can nauseate anyone. Put your dog in the middle seat in the back so he’s more likely to look forward. Use a doggie seat belt or safety harness to keep him safely in place. Some dog owners prefer using a solid-sided crate to limit their dog’s field of vision. Lower the car windows. Even a few inches of fresh air will equalize inside and outside air pressure and that can help reduce nausea. Keeping the car cool and well ventilated is helpful, too. Restrict your dog’s food intake prior to travel. If possible, withhold food for 12 hours before the car trip. But don’t restrict access to fresh water. Bring something that smells like home for your dog, whether it’s a much-loved toy, his favorite blanket, or even your old tee shirt. Buy a special toy that you only give to the dog in the car. Help him associate car travel with fun. This should help otherwise get prepared and try and make your car more vomit friendly, I’m kidding I hope.

@@AstroFromTheBlue something I know can help is a sleepypod clickit harness. It has a short tether that loops onto the seat belt after it is buckled up and locked. It is crash tested by a separate company and it is one of the top ones. You don't need to have a harness nessiarrily for walks. One thing I know helps better is fur saver slip collars, martingale And prong collars. I wouldn't suggest a halter because worst case scenario if you have to pull your dog very quickly or violently away from danger their neck won't be pulled but twisted and that can cause more damage. The other tools do the same things and have less chance of hurting your dog in those situations. Prong for last resort out of the three. Those collars do need to be a bit tighter and just under the ears and chin. If you "pop" the leash before the dog hits the end you can avoid choking the dog or hurting their trachea (because it is on more muscle) If you are ok with using any of these tools the best trainer I have found is Upstate Canine Academy. He is a balanced trainer with more reward based training. I would suggest starting that when you know the dog is not wanting to do the job by choice and is causing problems. I would suggest with the pulling, so that the Lil doggo doesn't start to choke themselves all you need to do is make the dog understand that pressure from the leash means they are at the end of the leash. It is simular to how people train horses. "Giving in to pressure" Easiest way to explain is being super annoying when the dog is pulling and when they do something right be literally the most interesting and fun thing ever so they want to lisen. Be very careful when you buy a prong collar because "made in china" or "made in Mexico" hermspringger are fakes and have sharp edges. German made are the real ones that won't pinch or scratch when fitted correctly. I really hope your lovely little doggo is able to help you and yall stay safe!

Yes, I can make a video but sometime in the near future!

Your question will be added to our Q&A this week! 🥰 Stay tuned for this Friday’s video!

yes, e-collar training can be confusing for both parties but with more practice, astro understand what the ecollar means!!

hi!! yup, i do that! thank ya! hope you enjoy the videos!

@@AstroFromTheBlue I enjoy the videos !

that's very misleading. there is no tool out there that stops pulling. the only thing that stops pulling is the handlers ability to train the dog to stop pulling. you're more than welcome to use tools to aid your training process, but it's very harmful and dangerous to rely solely on a tool

@@wesleasmith1491 Actually it’s not misleading at all. it will help with the dog to stop pulling. A harness actually helps them pull harder and make them want to pull. If you watch videos or seen dogs in harnesses that’s what they do. Harnesses are terrible IMO because they make the dog want to pull even more and if it’s not on properly they CAN and will escape the harness. I’ve watched a pit get out of a harness and attack my dog from across the parking lot.

@@wesleasmith1491 a prong is not dangerous unless it’s used improperly.

@@elizabethwickman3458 it's very misleading. the prong collar by itself will not stop a dog from pulling, it has to be paired with training in order to stop pulling. harnesses, contrary to popular believe, do not cause pulling either. dogs pull because they aren't trained otherwise, not because of what they're wearing. plenty of dogs can be trained loose leash with a harness. and if you saw a dog escape a harness, it's because it's owners neglected to train it, not because of the harnesses presence.

@@elizabethwickman3458 i know. i totally support prongs. but i support education and training a lot more. prongs just by themselves, without any training, will not teach a dog anything

hi! the tool i'm using in this video is called a clicker! It's a great tool to use to really positively capture the behavior you are asking your dog to do! For example: if i ask him to sit, and he sits! I immediately click when his butt touches the ground! then i reward him with a treat!

We are looking into getting a vest for him soon! thank you tho!

@@AstroFromTheBlue Yep!

Yes, i've heard that some places are changing their policy!

hi! i use the word “free” to release him from his command!

he is an Australian Shepard

he’s an australian shepherd! however they’re a tricky breed to work with! make sure you do some research before getting one! 🥰

@@AstroFromTheBlue Thanks, I'm working between Australian Shepard and golden retriever/ Labrador

You are doing WONDERFULLY with him! Keep your head up!!! I wouldn’t use the ecollar to correct his pulling, figure it out at the source and not correct his wanting action.

Hi hi!! Thanks for your comment! These are very helpful! If you look at our more recent videos, I have made a lot of changes! I’ve actually made changes that you suggested. Hehe it’s a learning process for sure! 🥰🥰

Head collars aren't for pulling. It's dangerous for the dog.

we decided to use a different collar for pulling :)

he did not sniff indoors, he is allowed to sniff outside!

we like to positively reward him for his good behavior in public! we are working on giving him less treats

if you want a dog to learn and consistently preform behaviors, then you have to consistently reward and reinforce those behaviors. so, no, treats are not bad
