Help? My Intact Male Doberman is Reactive to His Own Reflection

Hi Cindy, I just got an 11-month-old intact male Doberman from Europe who has strong working drives but is also not very socialized. He arrived a few days ago here in the USA and I was warned that he was very dog aggressive, especially with other males. My big challenge is we have a fairly large house with at least 30 windows and 5 glass sliding doors on one side and when he sees his reflection in the mirror, he goes after it with fury. It could be day or night, even while driving in t...

video done

We will be first time dog owners but my brother in law has used your training videos for his dog and they have worked very well. Our dog will be a family dog, we have a 7 year old that is a little timid around dogs so we know we need a dog that is well trained. We are getting a bernedoodle in about 5-6 weeks. What video would you recommend we start with?

QA 30 How to set up a training session ticket 23218

Training requires an alert dog ready and responsive to learn new things. How do you prepare your dogs for a training session in a morning or afternoon session? (1). Do you hold any feeding, and, if so, for how many hours? (2). Do you play any “fun things” like “throw the ball, etc.” anytime before the training session? (3). Any other thoughts on having an energetic and and motivated dog prior to training? Randy highKaboom@yahoo.com

QA

Dear Cindy, This might have been obvious to some, but I missed it watching the "8 Week" stream. The way to teach a dog their name and "charging the mark" seems to be the exact same process. If they differ, how do they differ? Should you do one before the other? Can it be done around the same time? Do they get combined at some point? Hopefully you can provide a little clarity. Thank you, David C

My 2-year-old GSD growls sometimes when I try to take his food bowl away. He is done eating but licking his bowl. I have tried many things: hand-fed him, drop eggs in his bowl as he eats to get him used to me being near his bowl, but he still growls.

QA 36 reactivw 9 MO. GSD

Hi I have a 9MO Female GSD that gets triggered whenever there are 2 dogs nearby playing or whenever we take a walk with one of my other dogs, she gets triggered instantly without warning whenever she sees another dog.

No problem's with me, extremely social with other people in any situation i'...

QA 20 ticket #22205

Id like to ask a couple training questions: - can you use the clicker and "yes" together to mark? ie. Dog's butt hits the ground, you "clicker" then say "yes" pause and feed? Is this ok? - is there certain commands where clicker is better thatn "yes"? - Can I mix up training during day - start sit, then move on to down, move on to - stand. Mix in "nose" or "place"...then go back - all while being different timings of trainings..and not confuse the dog>? If no, then how long do you ...

QA 25 Ticket #21722

Hi, my 3 yr old RR is (after years of training) still reactive to most dogs on lead, she wants to say hi. From 8 wks old she has been like this & despite every type of training (I have trained many dogs out of this habit with no problem) she has continued to be a challenge. She walks very well on the lead, unless we encounter a dog. As a puppy I briefly used a prong on her to calm her down and it worked wonders, that in itself taught her to walk well on the lead. I only used it for 1 month (b...

QA. 24 Ticket #20343

I went to my vet today. My dog is nervous around new people and was not interested in being touched and handled by her. When I'm with him he is very obedient and listens to all commands etc. My vet insisted that my dog doesnt view me as a leader which I disagree with. She took the dog, muzzle on, tail between his legs and tried walking him around the area to assert her dominance. I expressed how I thought that was wrong and that the dog is clearly scared. He doesnt know her nor the environmen...

QA 23 - 9 year old mixed breed Ticket #20144

Hi Cindy. I adopted my (now) 9 y/o mutt last year. I live on my own, however I have been with my partner for years and we are getting married this year. My dog does not seem to have a problem with my partner in particular, but he (the dog, not the partner lol) is VERY insecure, and is incredibly attached to me and therefore gets anxious and invasive when other people are around. He is fine when left alone at my home, but if I leave him at my parents place, or anywhere like that, he will stand...

qa 22 ticket #19902

I am the adoptive owner of a dog who has been with me 2 years and is estimated to be around 6 or 7. He has been showing severe signs of dog aggression - based on you videos I have seen so far regarding the different types of aggression it seems to be prey aggression (I'm sure there are other types also involved to my untrained eye). Are dogs with aggression issues always also considered a dominant dog? I have never had any problem putting him in a crate, always very responsive without need...

Hi Cindy. Our 1 year old Bullmastiff freaks out and wants to attack our neighbor's dog every time he sees him. He goes from 0-10 in a second. I've had him around other dogs with no issues. Do you have any good resources you could recommend to correct this behavior?
