WEBVTT - MINI: Dog Trainer Vicki Austin on whether she can fix Britt's Dog 🐕

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>If you're just tuning in now and you've missed the updates,

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>we've had this.

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 2>On BRIT's dog, Delilah, her beautiful Australian shepherd that has

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the mind of a thirty three year old woman.

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>That dog, i'd say like a six one, say, the

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>mind of a thirty three year old, very specific, just

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>such a developed, intelligent dog.

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>You look at that dog and you go, that dog

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 2>has superannuation, that dog can pay taxes.

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I think your attitude is more like she's

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 3>quite mature in that sense. Her attitude is more of

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 3>a like sixteen year old that might not be getting

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 3>her way well.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>This week we found out that Delilah has been fired

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>from two dog walkers.

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 3>So Britt fired on probation from one, fired from the other.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Though, yeah, she can't keep a dog walker down. Here's

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the problem.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 2>We've exhausted all averages to get help for Delilah. So

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>we found Australia's version. Welcome to the show from Austin's

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Dog Training Education Vicky Austin. Vicki has worked as an

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>animal wrangler for media, television, commercials, show dogs. She's worked

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>with narcotic scent detection dogs. She's trained dogs in explosive

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>scent detection. She's also worked for Dog's On a Place

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>to call Home Fighting Season Harry's Practice Better Homes and Gardens.

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>If there's someone that confects Delilah in this country, it

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>is Vicky Austin.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the pickup. Please help us, Hi.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Delilah's on the same level of explosive

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>detections dog she's.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I meant had the opportunity.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, I'll tell you Delilah's problem quickly, like her

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 3>main problem. So, she's an Australian Shepherd. She's three years old,

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 3>the most beautiful, sweetest, affectionate.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Dog you've ever seen.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Everyone loves her, but when she's with other dogs, she

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 3>has claimed her dog walker as hers. So whenever another

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 3>dog comes even remotely close, she's quite aggressive and it's

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 3>a protection loyalty thing. But I cannot since she's a puppy,

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 3>and get her out of that protection.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. What it is is that she is a bit

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 4>of a skaty cat and her human, whether it's you

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 4>or the dog walker, is her security and if other

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 4>dogs are interfering with that, then it's a risk, you know,

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 4>to her safety. You know, I could even be very

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 4>well a risk to her life. In other words, she's

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 4>not a confident dog. She's scared and she needs that

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>human to protect her. And she's scared that another dog's

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 4>going to take her human away from her.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 3>I know, are we about?

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Sorry? I called her a bully? So VICKI, what do

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you suggest? What can brit do? What can she implement?

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 4>We need to give her confidence. So the very worst

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 4>thing you could do is any form of punishment or

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 4>scolding when she does it, because that's going to make

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 4>her feel like you're rejecting me. And now I really

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 4>have got a problem because you know, I've got no

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 4>one to protect me. So what we would need to

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 4>do instead is make good things happen for Delilah when

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 4>another dog is around, so she might if she's greedy

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 4>and she likes food treats, if there's another dog approaching,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 4>or you're patting another dog or talking to another dog,

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.679
<v Speaker 4>Delightah is getting a handful of food treats, or she's

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 4>having a ball thrown for her. If she's that sort

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 4>of girl, whatever it is that she likes in life,

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 4>and it could even be that she gets heaps of

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 4>attention when another dog's coming. So you might start off

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 4>with saying hello Polly to the other dog and then

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 4>oh do nanah, you're so wonderful. You know, of course

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 4>you're going to get all this attention when another dog

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 4>is around, rather than losing the attention whenever another dog

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 4>approaches for its face.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I was like, I screwed up.

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, what I'm actually thinking is she does the

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 3>same thing with balls and food. So it's like, if

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 3>you have a ball or of food, she's the same

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 3>thing that aggress Yeah, aggression.

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 4>The term is resource guarding. So anything she values, she's

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 4>just simply trying to protect and say, don't take it.

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 4>This is mine and it's valuable to me and I

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 4>don't want to share it. So it's the same as

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>food guarding, you know. I mean most people are a

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 4>lot more accepting of dogs guarding food in their possession.

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 4>I think we sort of get that, don't we. They

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 4>don't want their food taken from them. But for some dogs,

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, depending on their nature, it can be their toys,

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 4>it can be their bed, it can be individual people,

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 4>or it can be the person that's there at the time.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, God, thank you Vicky for the help. We do

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.839
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. All right, let's go. That's us for the week.

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>If you miss any of the show,
