Oh, see how Michael is letting him gain ground he's letting him push him even on the ground, but then also he's making it so obvious that the dog is the one who made him do that right, it's like clear to everyone, including the dog you made me do that all right we're just getting to Kent Island that's for our first seminar stop is get the view Alec.

This is the Bay Bridge I, don't know, if you're familiar with the Bay Bridge alley, let's put a little, uh, scariest bridges in America petrified.

Right now I just grew up here, but I'm good to go.

Yeah, all right, we're, uh, it where what are we? Where are we right now hairpin park or something like that? Hairpin, Park, uh, Kent, Island.

The seminar decoy seminar starts tomorrow.

Um I'm here with uh, Braille, of course, the camera's out she's got to rush over, um, we got Alec and uh, Taylor Carlos gets in soon.

But right now we're, just enjoying the beautiful swamp seminar starts tomorrow.

So we'll get back to you.

Then, oh, look at all those little fishing things are those tadpoles or fish all right we're here day one, where are we at Carlos? Oh I, don't know, oh Kent, Island, Kent, Island, Maryland because I, don't know, if you guys can see but there's, the big beast over there holding on the parking lot, I think he's here.

We claimed a bunch of parking spots, um so it's day.

One we're gonna go in and get started let's.

Go let's.

Do it we just well.

We finished up in Maryland, um, we're, actually heading to Florida.

Now, um, we got I got a ton, a ton of video footage, not sure how I'm gonna put it together in a YouTube video.

But in the meantime, I got two clips, uh, one of me, working a dog and one of Carlos working a dog.

So we're gonna put those in here, uh.

So you guys can kind of keep up and then I gotta figure out what to do with all the footage that I have and uh kind of compilate that and make it into something.

But to hold you over I.

Hope you guys enjoy this.

Uh, it's, both of us, we're all talking while we're working the dogs and kind of explaining what's going on, uh, so I'm, sure some of you will find it useful.

You go loose on it.

Foreign I removed those options.

Same concept.

Yeah, um just work smaller, dogs.

All right.

So one of the things that I would also be aware of like he's, not he wasn't countering too much on his own there.

He was waiting for Mom's input to counter right? So we don't it's a good thing.

He counters on that kid.

But we don't want him to rely on it.

Right? If he's in the end of the building and you're all the way up here.

He still should be doing what we want him to do.

Um, um.

So sometimes we also told you guys I'd hook into the collar if you can but some dogs, well, like we've been saying sometimes opening up that circuit.

But if you still want to be safe, you can take your other hand and grab him to a collar here.

Oh, yeah, oh boy.

Good man more for somebody who is as tall as yet because another Warfare fight right like he's, not having to stand as much.

So just that change of height is a big one I'm more for 12, decoys I, personally like to teach dogs.

Once they take you to the ground don't.

Let me get up.

And the way that you can do it like very very slow.

I'll, try to get up I'm gonna second the dog pushes I lay back down so there's, no counter.

You.

Let me get back up I'll get back up it's, not as advantageous for him again.

See now he's keeping him down.

He goes getting up slow to give him a chance to regroup while he's getting up if the dog does there you go if the dog doesn't stop him in the process, then he doesn't know, he starts like, nope, stay down.

And you see how he's putting all his weight on him, that's a sign of like, nope like dominance.

Right? Like no, you stay there and he's laying on him, no, not anything else.

Don't get a see take a note, Let, Me, Slowly starts getting up.

If you allowed him, then he will finish and get all the way up and the dog loses it.

Top advantage.

Now he's gonna have to work a little bit harder to get me back down on the ground, foreign see.

How Michael is letting him gain ground he's letting him push him even on the ground, but then also he's making it.

So obvious that the dog is the one who made him do that right, it's like clear to everyone, including the dog you made me do that like decoy is not always all at war with the dog, right like we're sparring partners.

We have to teach them things, not his enemy.

And if you guys know this for him to be able to move, he needs to be on that bottom head needs to be on the floor.

How many of you guys here? Do you need to that is like like huge help in Bitcoin work because you're, very aware of your what your hips are.

So when you're on the floor, you know how to position yourself so you're, not vulnerable.

Okay, okay.

So Michael was coming back.

So the entire time he was on his right hip.

So if he needed two people ask quickly and get away from the dog, you see like he's, always on the app right there.

You can get up, and he can put back Smoke.

Plus.

Do you guys? Notice when the dog went back to Mom to be quiet down like you're, gonna barely hear his breathing, even though he's breathing is hard next to her.

He was quiet.

Why is that comfortable he's waiting for that command be quiet down to ensure? He can hear what she's going to say next right? Same.

Whenever you hear a dog they're like, and then they hear something on the leaves and they go and they quiet down.

So they can hear better.

And everything is all the action.

I'm doing is contingent upon him.

He has to make something happen I'm, not trying to help him when he's running he's gonna he didn't completely remember.

So in there, we know and I know, Michael Thompson is yesterday.

But the name of the dog is Abdullah say, important for him, what say smoke, he's, a vital man, right? So it's, great in between operation, if you can tell the doctor regroup, a million times just by saying, his name, but then she's using her name, followed by Alex, right so she's, saying, fight, let go let's a lot cleaner that way you can put them up perfect.

I mean, with him, flanking him pinching him.

So they'll be working on it.

So we're gonna see where he's at and try to improve what they walk him out.

And this is why we said in those like when they feel defensive, it can be vulnerable for the dogs.

We have to be pretty careful flow in.

Um.

He needs to come off work on me.

Settle in yes, yes, he's going at the wrong angle and like that angle.

So I'm gonna grab his head and fix it.

Yes.

Don't work better pull the angle.

Yes, I'm gonna get really strong on what he's doing first.

This is important before you start adding and pushing thresholds.

We gotta let the dog get onto the bike, get comfortable where they're at so we have kind of a status quo that we can measure against and say, okay, something has changed if we don't know, what's changing, because we haven't given him a chance to settle good mobilization, Waits it out.

Yes.

Here are those deposits in the bank account all right.

You got stressed out a little bit.

Yes, Carlos was letting them beat him up now that he made the right toys, go back to that or something else again in a little bit.

Oh, let me see your hands.

Yes, dude.

Yes.

Ow.

Let me see your hands.

So that one was hard for the dog to go with Carlos had a big reinforcer by hey, you made the right direction level.

Now, ow.

So last time when I flanked him, he let go huge Improvement.

He didn't give a about it.

Another he'll be strong, I'll, try it again, not like single you see that, oh, great work.

Man, let me see your hands.

If you don't like notice, those counters compared to some like those counters are violent counters like he's, trying to hurt you see what we talked about yesterday.

Somebody asked about the shaking he's taking a big regret.

Then he changed that's trying to cause me pain, he's, not shaking.

And then pulling you think you're seeing him, boom.

And then after that normally checks, oh see that that's causing pain.

Oh, yes.

Let me see your hands.

Can you hear me? Yes, sir, yes.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

You see how he's climbing away from me going for the column? Yeah, yeah, that's using your environment as your Skinner box or your behavior, limited thoughts anywhere.

So he wanted to get away from the column.

So if you recruits hard enough, I, love him.

So yes, let me see your hands.

You see your hands.

You see your hands, won't handle it handle it if you're trying to pair it with the back pressure.

Let me see your handsome.

Yeah, yes.

Yes.

From right there.

Oh, yes, I think I.

Nailed it.

So I'm gonna put him a little on the way out.

So whenever you haven't hooked up on the harness actually foreign.
