I was watching It's me or the dog last night and she was working with a boxer that had aggression and would snap, snarl and bark at other dogs.
At one point she made this high pitched squeaky sound to get the dog's attention and when he looked at her, she gave him a treat.
He would bark at other dogs when he was out on the balcony too and she was training the owners to practice "watch me" and give a treat to redirect the focus and attention to them instead of dogs going by. She also had them use a whistle, but I think a clicker would work too.
Good luck!! |
