they don't have manners that's right in order to keep their home yeah they need to be trained and have manners and have works out a lot better so welcome to healthy pets on thank you jesse what's new with jess oh a lot of the same old same old however we keep on keeping on but we were so lucky to find rita because she's really helped us with this big dog down here on the floor that you probably can't see yet but it's been a real godsend because like she said so many times owners have problems with their own dogs and we don't know what to do with them and they don't know what to do with them so she comes through and she tries to give them you know her you holding this is sugar she came from north carolina facility down there a lot of the southern states have high kill facilities and she was in a transport that came up here and i think really what happened they just saw cute and fluffy and they picked her up and put her into the transport and then when she got here we discovered she's blind but she has cataracts so we're going in this week to see if she can have cataract surgery which sounds amazing and jesse jesse takes it all herself and her own expenses and her own inconvenience basically to get things done but that's jessie goes out of her way for animals are you trying to find sugar homes just  at this point i would say that's pretty accurate yeah and you keep a lot of that your home they medically challenge ones i keep and then you have foster care homes for people but your you can always use more after all absolutely absolutely so so if i wanted to be a foster home what i did while you would call me and i would put you through a question and answer process if you have a fenced in yard that's absolutely the greatest thing you would have to have time for the dogs if you had other dogs that would be fine too but would have to see how that all played out but i stand the expense of the vet and the food and everything i ask you to socialize the dog trainer at get  be adopted and then when i find people that are a match for the dog then you have an input into it like i said to read any time that she trains a dog and we interview someone we take the dog to their house or whatever happens she comes as money i don't take food because we feed a very good food we feed them the omega three oils which i supplied all the foster homes so i don't want them eating junk you know we've talked many many times about food and care for the dog so we keep it at a very good high level and that's where we want to keep it and we talk to people when they come to adopt this is what the dog is on we don't care if you change the brand but it's got to be a better brand it can't be a wal mart brand and just as just one more person you rescued yesterday her owner works for a friend of mine and a friend called and said could you take this dog the lady that owns the dog is a drug addict lol long story made short i took the dog the dog and her and a friend lived in an abandoned warehouse no heat no water no nothing the dog was very nice i mean didn't have a problem with the dog but  being that her she is so big everybody looks on her like a pit bull but she's not she's an american bulldog but she's got that huge look and i had her in a foster home and he thought well  she can eat more you know that she's happy and all this you don't ever want to overfeed a dog that's the worst thing in the world you can do so she's had to lose fifteen pounds which i think she's lost some but she still has a way to go that said definitely fifteen pounds because it's hard on their joints their legs and all that kind of thing and she's as strong as an ox so we did take her up to akron rida went up with me we had her trained by a trainer up there and mid week i called up the find out how she was gone and he said why did you bring me this dog and i said well she's been in several homes and she's really that told me she was aggressive piece of yours nothing wrong with this dog she's avoiding bre guarding is what she does and if she becomes attached to you she's going to guard you and your family that's how the dog the breed is so we're looking for a home but we need an alpha left person to be in charge of her a fenced in yard right so they they they pick up on what you do really quick and correct me if i'm wrong here even raising the voice which is a negative thing doesn't work right sometimes the more excited you get people say how do i keep my dog from jumping the first thing is not to scream and yell and say get down and wave your arms and and stuff like that just builds more excitement in the dogs not speak english they don't know what you're saying we teach we're out of repetition they don't speak seconds and then she died right before in the car and the other car pulls up a side she does the same thing some is riding a bike along the road in a car she tends not to want to shut up in the house so park shut up  they are out there just to get some well part of that is the frustration of the person reader just recently had a dog that she was working with this night the same situation and she told the people it's not the dog it's you so the progression a slow yes but she's very smart so she's a quick learner to a lot of dogs pick up on it really quick i just need to know what to do and we're going to go to commercial break and when we get back i would like  and she is working with princess makeup so ready for a break you know we were talking about your meeting princess here and then how she was responding and what you started  get used to me and then as i work with them the first thing i always do is make the dog sit sit can be your default position sick can be your position where you always have control your dog the dog knows that you're the boss if you say sit you can have the dog sit i have a dog sit on my ass for everything they sit before they eat they sit before they go outside they sit before they get  can but early on in my training i did that with my boxer and it got to the point where he didn't see it unless i touched it so you have to be careful you can guide them sometimes it's not good to push on the hind quarter you know if you have to you can go underneath and bend the legs back like that but it's really better to get them to sit on their own so what you describe with with with them with a treat right where i am signal follow your hand been noticed by the worker when somebody comes to the house if they walk into the house and they require calling and she doesn't bark right you know sometimes you have to train the people who walk through the door so we w next i introduce her to my my dogs and i do some safely in new york had a little shepherd mix it up was reactive for put it that way not aggressive but reactive she didn't know how to meet other dogs so i i slowly teach them how to meet other dogs with corrections good girl stop usuals sniffing of different areas is very very unfortunately that's how dogs so when a can be and you know i even see that with talking right it all depends on the dog you don't know if they were struck you know that way in the past or if they just see it as a threat but you always ask the owner first and in it's stand straight right then each time you stretch that quite out just a little longer before you get that tree so they're learning ok i have to wait a little longer then i get rewarded so then you'll be able at the door you'll be of ok good girl  quiet longer and longer and longer and then eventually you will have to get rewarded with a treat all the time you go with a toy or a pat horn and sometimes surprise them with a tree so it's like they're going to cost it reinforce that learning skill that they've just about right the right behavior you try to ignore them or you can or it's much behavior if you can you know while keeping everybody safe and reward the behavior that you like and you want if you walk in through the house and the dog is laying on the bed good dog because that's where you want to quiet on the best on the bed on their bed throw metry padda people think you have to stop the train your dog you train your dog just as you go through life so you usually i use to reward and reward them in the place where i want them i'll even use that like a stick up pepperoni as i walk and hold it beside me so that they're following they'll follow that they can lick it take jump up and down they can do anything they want but they only get it in the place you want them to be appear they don't get anything back here they get a sniff this treat hold this tree newborn nish treat and the other one of the other way  don't get very far at the beginning when you're training the dog so if you're going to walk in power walk do your power walk first then come back and walk your dog because at the beginning when you're training a dog to to walk it's not it's not a real fun walk for you you know i mean you're working with the dog you can stop the dogs reward is the walk my dog if she gets out in front of me i stop and say where you have and she backs right up and gets right in here so you stop and they stop then you say ok let's go  casual as anything you know a little bit further out but not in front so i open a door to let the dogs out you go from first showing that it's such a minor thing but it means so much to the dog i actually have a dog who looks at me something i have little abby sweetheart i have a pole and abby will run every day every time i take her out she runs to the edge of the pole and she looks at the pool i c say it's when you talk to some little child to walk and they fell over the first time after i took a couple steps you don't say they can't get it forget it we tried try and try and read it
