The shy wagging tail...omg so sweet. She just wanted trust and love.

I have a dog that shows the same behavior and it’s truly heartbreaking for me to see that sweet little girl being so fearful of the outside while she’s just an angel when she feels safe. This video is by far the most amazing one I’ve seen on how to deal with fearful aggressive dogs!!! I truly need to inspire myself from it! Thanks

This was so impressive. I experienced a ton of anxiety just watching this process, but I’m glad there are people out there like you capable of doing this.

Wow. As a person who was bit in the face by a dog when I was a child, this made me a nervous wreck. You have a true understanding of the psyche of dogs and you didn’t push her. But you did make her work out her uncomfortable feelings about you and that was awesome!

that literally made me cry. i need someone like this for my dog.

That was wonderful to watch. Almost brought tears to my eyes when she finally get him pet her and tousle her ears.

These three rules, Patience, Kindness & Tenacity Perfectly on display here

When she put her head down and gave you a tail wag 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

That was beautiful to watch, thank you

As a newly starting trainer, thank you. It's very inspiring to see your patience, calmth and respect for the dog, something I'm aiming to maintain too as I have a bit of a soft spot for wanting to help the insecure and fearful ones especially

Fantastic demonstration of being consistent and going at her pace - really inspiring, thanks for filming it.

love to watch a trainer who knows what the hell their doing!

I love the quietness and the two-way conversation here, thanks for posting

Finally in years, KZfaq allowed me to watch/listen to a trainer I needed!

That was just lovely … so kind … so gentle :-)

Still watch the older videos Tyler, so much to learn when revisiting

Really well done...you have such a calming manner, which is so critical in the rehab of any animal

My dog reacts like that when meeting new people.

Ive always incorperated natural horsemanship into my dog training, but ive never seen anyone do joinup with a dog before. Great work! A fearful animal is a fearful animal, doesnt matter if they are predator or prey, the techniques to help should be similar. I have a fear aggressive dog atm, he is a covid baby and missed out on human socialisation at that critical age. I got hum from his breeder when he was 1, he is now 18 months old. He is great with other dogs, great with us, but any stranger is viewed as a real threat. We are doing weekly obedience and daily exposure to try and overcome his issues, he already has a bite history with 1 severe bite under his belt, ill keep up with the training and hopefully we can get through this.

The head in the lap, now I’m crying

Amazing! You are one true dog reader. Beautiful to watch!

Great patience and intuitiveness. What a gift you have.

This almost made me tear up! Wonderful approach! Thanks for sharing

I"m currently in the process of getting a gear aggressive dog and am doing research before I handle him. I'm glad I found this video. Very informative and I plan to do some of these, if he is as aggressive as they say.

My dog has a MILD case of this. She's a rescue and there are some indicators that she was not so well treated by her previous owner. But she does respond well to a calm introduction and a treat. So I introduce her to new people by handing them a milk bone and telling them to let her come to them. Shortly after that, this invariably leads to a happy dog getting lots of pets which she craves. She's getting better and better as time goes on.

This reminds me a lot of what horse trainers do with wild mustangs. She is a lot less dangerous than some of those! I'm interested in what you said about her barking, like she uses it to reinforce, "you ignored my body language"

Wow that is exactly how my dog acts and I've been trying so hard to work with him, I hope this will be useful for him.

Just a slip lead and no e collar! Refreshing and lovely to see!

I don't know how this video managed to show up on my feed but THANK GOD! My 2.5y/o frenchie showed exactly same behavior after I got him back from training camp. He was a lovely dog always playing with other dogs and people before I singed him up for training. After a month I took him back and he was fearful. Didn't allow anyone but me to touch him. He is good and does not do anything to anyone unless he is touched. He even jumps up on people and licks their face if you don't touch him. Now I know how people should approach

Very impressive leash handling skills. Definitely saving this one for reference. Thanks so much for posting this Tyler!

You're good at this man 😊 it was so nice to watch the progression 💙

What he was doing at the beginning is called hooking on in horse training. I definitely think horse trainers have another piece that's missing from dog training. As they really work on hooking on, dectizing/sacking out, and so much more.

Very strategic! Solid process throughout the whole session!!

So cool to watch! Amazing work!

I mean... That was one of the cuttest things Ive seen, she's so adorable

I'm looking after a dog thats exactly the same! The first time he couldn't look at me and made the same noises like her when a situation was too much for him. Now I gained his trust but I always have to reminde myself that he will be fearfull of every stranger

18 week rescue puppy....dropped off at 6.5 weeks. I don't feel my corrections for biting were harsh, but maybe any correcting was a problem. I need to look back when she first did this, for many weeks we would redirect her to a toy, chew stick. I realized a really soft voice works best, I keep training sessions very short, I use treats and praise, we play fetch but it's unstructured, she isn't required to sit, she drops tye ball so we throw it again....so i feel she's treated with fun and support. Today after eating I was letting her relax to digest, I stayed on the sofa, jiggled a toy to entice her to her bed...perhaps she knew nap time was coming, I do crate her for naps, I put in safe chews, which she seldom touches. i tracked her sleep wake needs, it seems she can't be awake for more than an hour, max 1.5 hrs, it's saturday, i suspect fetch went on too long...my husband was having fun, finally it's sunny...but perhaps she got too tired....anyway, she just changed, i hadn't corrected her, I'd like to watch what happened....maybe I should record my encounters. Problem is 99% are without this. I have no real idea how to stop, she goes nuts, runs around the room, will try to bite as she races by, she's snarling, i try not to react...lately i calmly put her in her crate for a couple minutes, usually we have this routine 3 times, by the third time out she's recovered and is sweet again....is this normal ?

Aww what a great guy !

Oh! My! What a lovely way you connect with her.....!

just beautiful - thank you so much for this lesson in patience and trust

This was, as many before me have already said, beautiful to watch. It just goes to show if you put a little love and energy in, you can achieve amazing results.

Thank you for not being a "treat feeder " trainer.... I have had a session with 2 trainers.... one was a treat for everything. I told her I do not treat train and she was more than put off. The second one came and said "where are the treats" to which I replied "you are here to train the human not the dog". I do not need you to give me atreat to train me "the human". He said I need to build a bond with the dog. I told him the only bond the dog needs is me. He showed me some exercises and what to look for and was a good help. She is now completely hand trained for all commands. Sometimes for a day, all she hears is my voice when I am talking on my cell. She has been broken of fear aggression towards humans. This trainer on this video is totally correct, watch the trigger sign and stop it before the dog reacts. I am in slow progress with other dogs. I treat when the task is completed and over. It can be done ... btw.... She is a 110 lb rottweiler strong willed with not a mean streak in her body. Always ( over ) praise because they live to please. But with a large protective dog , If you are not Alpha and don't want to be the pack leader at all times..... then be careful of the breed you choose. All dogs do know how to push their owner"s buttons.

I have an aggressive, fearful rescue two days here- very treat driven, very untouchable. He'll walk with but is very much like this dog. I've been nipped a few times.

OHMYGOSH! THIS IS JUST ONE SESH??? AMAZING!!

Beautiful to watch

Great work!.....I wouldn't have done that (just because of my lack of experience in dealing with dogs like nugget) but great to see!

I could watch this all day, it's as beautiful as a ballet

Such an amazing change from the start to the end. ❤

Her tail wagging in the end!! 😍😍😍

Amazing. Really enjoyed this video. Excellent trainer.

Had a dog left with us at a hostel, owners never came back. Nervous, shaking with fear, loves us now, shes like a teddy bear, but outside on walks constant barking and very aggressive towards people and other dogs. Shes never off the lead! Bitten two people and threatens to bite. Had her 4 years now and she still hasn't changed towards strangers.Friend said, thats a nasty dog, youve got to do something before she does any more damage. Ive looked online but unsure where to start. Its quite obvious she's been abused.

“Some dogs will make a lot of noise because they want to draw attention to what their body is telling you, and when you pay attention to what their body is telling you the noise slows down” 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Dog Daddy and all his entourage should take notes, this is how is done.... not by forcing but by building up trust and comfort

I wish with all my heart I could bring my very aggressive puppy to work with you.... I am afraid to train him or walk him after he has shown so much aggression from the moment we brought him home.... it's so upsetting.

The best video I've seen referring to fear of people. Thankyou x

Incredible. So simple yet we tend to complicate things because we aren't paying attention to the signs.

I'm working with a dog that is so terrified of leash he screams when we place the slip lead on him and we have never been able to touch him unless he is scared of something else. We have found he is a major crate resource guarder, is very willing to bite, but more than anything just wants to run away. We're hoping that by teaching him a touch cue and that leashes = good things we will be able to start growing his confidence and work on his resource guarding. This video was very useful!

This is super impressive! Great vid

This is one of the best vids I have seen.

This is amazing. My dog is the same way. It takes her a long time to trust.

Amazing! Such a beautiful connection with dogs and their behavior

So I have a fear aggressive Vizsla. I’ve been doing pretty much what you are doing in the video. He still is so fearful of others. I’ve had him about 3 weeks so far and he has changed about 90% for the better. He is still fearful of strangers. At my local pet center a lady came up behind me as I was looking at muzzles (irony) she reached towards me and my dog jumped up and latched onto her arm. How do I further his training on fear of strangers?

Great video! I needed this, im fostering a dog like her

Beautiful thank you

very beautiful, Tyler you have a beautiful harmony with the dog, and she is a sweetheart :)

Fantastic video! My husband and I adopted a Russian toy mix who has fear aggression. He has actually put his mouth on my husband when he’s been reached for out of fear, what would you do differently here if the dog actually makes contact with the teeth?

Beautiful and enlightening. Thank you!

This gives me hope for my dog

Such great work Tyler. I'm such a fan!

he is a very smart person and dog handler

Amazing! Love how you didn't talk for most of the video so we could examine you and the dog's body language.

Well done. This is skill. Really great job sir.

Great direction for the dog and knowing dog body and sound language :)

I'd love to work with you. Your energy is perfect.

Great trainer...I learned a lot from this video. Thank you.

So wunderschön, das zu sehen. Bitte übersetzt eure Video auch mit deutschem Untertitel. Das wäre phantastisch.

I have a fearful vizsla or vizsla mix she is fearful i only scratch her ears when she nudges my hand otherwise she snaps i don't risk petting her on the back She is afraid to go on walks does not even come out of the gate .any suggestion will be appreciated.

You are talented, and the video was amazing and moving! Question - how was Nugget with strangers after that? Did you just win Nugget over but behavior remained the same? Or does Nugget need more sessions with trainers to ease his fears?

Nice! 🧡 It's always a little nerve wrecking watching the process though heh. What a transformation!

Super informative video! I have a german shepherd who’s fear aggressive towards strangers that try to approach him, so we can’t have guests in the house (if we do he needs to be put into another section of the house, ofc never alone). And i’ve been trying to introduce my partner to him slowly, we’ll definitely be trying some of the techniques here with my dog muzzled! The leash petting and the exposing neck was especially eye opening. Thank you for the video!

My dog is a dead ringer for her. A female, same face and coloring. Even has the same whisker and markings, unless that is common. But still at the, "before" mentality as this one. Only thing I see different, my dog I believe doesn't have the white paws. I'd have to see. 👍🏼🥰♥️

This method is very similar to the pressure and release method commonly used to train horses.

Great video. I have watched lots of your old videos all are good. The slip lead is such an underrated tool

VERY impressive, loved the vidd

wow.. that was beautiful

So cool to watch! I love this. She’s a sweetie!

Beautiful!

I just adopted a seven month old staffy cross collie who is fear aggressive of people when out on walks. She's fine with everyone in the house even newcomers and would lick people to death but out on walks she barks aggressively at everyone approaching. She only stops when I turn and lead her quickly away from the people approaching.

Great

Great video and content. Just one tiny thing I may mention. There is no reason to have any pressure on the leash. Your body language is perfect and so calming to the dog. That’s enough. The dog will come to you even with zero pressure on the leash. Because In the moment you had pressure on the dog you could clearly see that the animal didn’t feel comfortable. It made lots of calming signals like nose liking, showing you its back, sitting down, etc. I might be wrong but that’s just what I realised. Anyway thanks for this video with an extremely important issue! 🙏

I need help...I have a 3 yr old pitbull mix who is awesome with my family but I can’t take her to the vet without sedation she can’t meet anybody new she met my brother last Christmas for the first time and actually bit his arm I believe she can be good with other animals because with my first trainer she was surrounded by other dogs in a household environment at a board and train but my trainer has moved out of state essentially voiding our lifetime refreshers..

Im so glad i found this video. My new rescue dog is EXACTLY like this. I didnt expect this so now i dont know what to do. I cannot move towards him. I cannot touch him. He has the same posture and fear of people. Has not bit us yet either. I kinda need help. Its been a month now... i think I need to get a leash on him asap

I wish more trainers like you were available near me my jack russell has been fear/aggressive since I rescued her at six weeks and have been to different trainers that can not help me

That dog mad 😂😂😂

Wow!

I love this! You are amazing!

That was so helpful. Great video ! 😃

This man is awesome!

Amazing. So sweet

That was truly amazing
