Hi,

would it be possible to have a lesson on managing dogs playing with each other? E.g. Robert’s dogs playing and his commentary what to look for not to let the play to escalate.

Would be great to connect that lesson with dogs’ body language.

Hi,

How about a video on correction by the scruff of the neck? Robert mentions this way of correcting a few times in his videos.

I have never tried this type of correction because I am not quite sure what the reaction might be:

1. Is it just a grab or is it a pull?

2. Does it matter where I grab? E.g. is the grab/pull a correction enough or do we grab the neck as high as possible to point the dog’s head slightly different direction?

3. How does this correction affects my relationship with a dog? I can’t shake off the feeling that the dog might associate my hand with negative stimulus. I do not want my dog to be afraid when I try to reward him with a pat on the head.

4. Is there a better/worse situation to correct the dog with the grab? E.g. if the dog is in high energy state or maybe reactive to other dogs, I might get bitten by the dog by an accident.

Cheers,

Tomasz
