The Purpose of the Walk Is Not What You Think!

You can't tire your dog out by walking no matter how many walks a day you take! The walks are for structure and not exercise anyway. Walks done properly are the MOST effective way to give your dogs what they need to feel secure and be happy!

Beautiful dog ❤

No. If your dog is alone all day because the owner is at work, the purpose of the walk is the highlight of the dogs day. In this instance you let him sniff and get some stimulation. I am not saying structure is not important, it is very important. But let your dog have something pleasant in his day.

You are absolutely correct. I regret that I didn't mention it in this video. I do say it in many of my videos though. Your dogs need FREQUENT opportunities to sniff and pee on the walks, but it should be only where and when you tell them it's okay. In other words, the owner should choose the spots rather than the dog. That's the structure piece. Thanks for watching!

Well behaved dogs find “structure” comforting and enjoyable.

Thanks! He found me on the side of the highway about four months ago and he was not far from death. He was skinny as a rail and covered with fleas and ticks. He's doing much better now! Thanks for watching! Be well and stay safe!

I can attest to this. He likes to walk. He does not get tired from the walk. He gets tired from the heat. He gets tired from the playing if his girlfriend's in her yard. He does not get tired from the walk. The walk is for MY exercise and he gets to come along and be mentally stimulated and oftentimes played with.

All aggression is NOT fear based. Everything else you said is spot on

Thanks for your comment. I'd love to know of an example you have in mind that proves your point. I did see a case of a dog that had a viral infection of the brain that was causing erratic and aggressive behavior, but I consider that an exception to the rule.

@@JaimieScott there is a myriad of reasons why a dog can be aggressive. Genetics, learned aggression, yes fear as well as dominance to name a few. Look into Ivan Balabanov, he's pretty good

@@k9psychologist I may not be stating my position clearly, but this seems like just a semantic difference. I agree that there are many factors that can influence aggression in dogs. But I also stand by my claim that all aggression has a basis in fear. I guess I am saying that fear is always the underlying emotional component when a dog exhibits aggression. That can absolutely be influenced by genetics, conditioning, etc.

I'd even say that most aggression is not fear based, no matter what the American Kennel Club is trying to promote. "Fear aggression" is simply low hanging fruit for dog trainers.

I don't necessarily agree that all aggression is fear-based, but I may be caught in semantics, in the sense that I don't equate insecurity to fear. Nonetheless, I do agree with you saying that dogs need structure first and foremost. I'll mull over your other messages. Thank you for sharing.

@JaimieScott 22 күн бұрын

An excellent point. There is a subtle difference between insecurity and fear. I may be painting with too broad of strokes with that claim.

Good point. This was not a demo video. I do have quite a few of those. I let Jack in these videos exactly for that unpredictable behavior. Plus, he's a looker.

Youre advice please How do you deal with leash reactive dog (towards dog) that walk wonderfully on structured walk but when he sees other dogs on walk start to fixate and lunging barking. If you correct with leash pup its make activation forward if you try to redirect with food the dog dont care. Thanks

If you want to learn what to do with the leash reactive dog, go to Joel Beckman or Dog Daddy. They know what they're doing.

I have a Siberian husky, and you can absolutely bet that the PRIMARY purpose of his walk is for exercise. A breed like his needs the core physical challenge as much as any other reasons or benefits of a walk.

@JaimieScott 4 ай бұрын

You may make the primary purpose of his walk exercise, but that doesn't change the fact that walks don't provide that dog with adequate exercise, even if you go on 20 walks a day.

@HogansHuskies 4 ай бұрын

Walks are absolutely not enough for Siberian Huskies. I have two of them and both need at least an hours worth of real exercise each day. Even canicross is not really enough for huskies because it’s almost impossible to match their pace and endurance when trying to run with them - i trained mine to pull me on my bike, it’s a great form of exercise for them as they can really open up, and is something different from just running around a field or playing fetch etc. it’s in their blood to pull after all!

"All aggression is fear-based"? That is a terrible generalization. I am working for over 20 years with dogs and had my fair share of leash reactivity and aggression. Some dogs simply like to fight like some humans like to fight MMA. There is zero fear in those dogs.

@JaimieScott 3 күн бұрын

I can believe that and trust your experience. I still believe that those dogs started off fearful. Sounds like they evolved past the fear and got to a different place.
