Child Proofing your Dog

April 25th, 2010

Body language and signals are the most important thing when training your dogs. “Child proofing your dog” is more about teaching you dog to be patient and understanding in different situations. Children are unpredictable, making them vulnerable targets when they come into contact with dogs who are not accustomed to this training.

The video highlights a system of training that gets your dog prepared for anything. For example, should their ears get tugged or their tail be pulled, the dog will be prepared with a non-aggressive response. It is always important to supervise any interactions between your dog and young children. Even the most well-trained dog can have their patience pushed to the limit, which can have very serious consequences, worse of all fatal.

Tamar Geller takes viewers through the process of teaching the dog to accept anybody, grabbing on its ears, reaching to it, and accepting unexpected reactions and interactions. In order to get your dog equipped for this sort of interaction, Tamar Geller demonstrates the process with her dog. This technique teaches the dog to accept strangers. It may come as a surprise, but the number one reason for dogs to attack is out of fear. Conditioning of this type will eliminate the number of instances of this type of attack happening needlessly.

Tamar Geller implements a reward-based training methodology, as she demonstrates tugging on her dogs tail, an action that is quickly followed by giving the dog a treat. The tugging is not hard. Positive affirmation after this action, coupled with the treat, teaches your dog to accept this kind of action and approach.

The more time you take to get your dog accustomed to this type of approach the better. The more interaction of this kind that your dog is exposed to, the more accepting and comfortable it will become.

The benefit of this approach is that you can be confident of your pet, when you are out in public. This style of teaching is invaluable, as it will help your dog to be comfortable in any situation. We recommend consulting with a dog training professional.
