Handling Shyness- Clicker Dog Training
If you live in the San Diego Area and are interested in adopting Jamie or Beanie, contact: Loving Arms Animal Rescue and Adoption www.lovingpetadoptions.org These exercises are for all dogs, as most dogs do not like to be handled. This video is the first in a series to come... I am sorry about the big block of text at the beginning of the video, but it is because this exercise needs to be taken seriously, as if done wrong you can scare a dog, and a frightened dog will bite, as will any animal that is frightened. If you are worried that your dog is too shy or frightened to work with, you can talk to an animal behaviorist first. Another game you can do is just tossing the dog treats, and feeding the dog his meals by dropping the kibble for the dog following you.

Oh, how I’ve been waiting for a video on this! Thank you for making this Emily! I’m constantly working on my chi, River’s shyness towards strangers. I do use “touch” and have strangers give her treats etc. and she’s actually improved a lot already. I’ll continue with these methods. Thank you!! – Jillian *I may post this to the facebook chihuahua fan page. I think it will help a lot of chi owners!
@kikopup allow me to re-phrase, do they see you as the leader of their pack?
I forgot to add….I just love all of your dogs, but have a soft spot for Kiko. I was shocked to hear her story in Zsianz1′s new video. I am so impressed with what you’ve done for her.
I have a 9 month Japanese Akita and he is still shy around people when they come up to him to pet him. He will just keep backing away. I try getting people he is shy around to give him treats and he will take them but he still wouldnt let them pet him…Do you think that this training would be suitable for him or would you recommend somthing else?
Could you make a video on come, if you haven’t already. And if you did can you give me link.
Good video! I have used this technique many times and it works!
What do you know about anxious dogs that get overly excited by things like car rides and seeing other dogs and start barking over and over in high pitches? Taking my dogs on a long walk beforehand isn`t an option since I`m usually driving him to a place such as the beach or park to use up energy (and then he`s mostly quiet on the way back).
Another good lesson, Emily. I love that you used dogs that aren’t already trained and are up for adoption. I find it really helpful to see you working with a dog on something for the very first time. I’ve taught our Zoe several of your lessons and I’m amazed how she gets it in just a few repetitions now. She seems to understand what YES means now. Thanks for helping all of us.
again, wonderful video
That is awesome that you are helping out with shelter dogs.
Hey Emily,
I LOVE you videos and have started using clicker training with my ten month old Lab/Golden Karma. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what i can do with the clicker to stop her excited peeing, I have tried getting people to ignore her until she is calm and she still seems to do it.
She is getting better, however it is still annoying at times.
Thanks so much, and keep up the great work!
@RatongaBruiser Victoria Stillwell (British TV trainer) demonstrates that these dogs are stimulated by all the visuals going on outside the car. Her solution is to block their view with fabric over the rear windows and a curtain behind the driver to completely block their view. Have someone assist you by driving the car, and take down a bit of the curtain so they can see. The INSTANT anybody barks, put the curtain back up. Teach them that if they want to have a view, they must be calm.
@Kabukihomewood
I`ve seen that and Caesar`s solutions. I was hoping Kikopup had conditioning solutions instead as he barks even before he`s in the car, once in the car, and in any new environment. He isn`t even usually looking out the windows, just watching the people in the car or laying down making excited yips and whines while staring at the back of the seats.
One word: THANKS.
One of the dogs I’m looking after at the moment is so extremely shy, he freaks out every time a stranger takes one step towards him (especially boys around the age of 12?…). Once again you have saved me with one of your videos Emily, thank you so much!! Every time I see one of your tutorials I get inspired to start training right away, and that is what I’m off to do right now!
Excellent vid. This is an essential for ALL dogs. I start every puppy off in this way and every owner i train works on this as their daily rountine. Even if they seem confident, this is something i recommend to be put into the dogs daily training routine, so that touching and handling is a WELL CONDITONED pleasurable experience. I used this to overcome my dog Jaffa’s shyness when we first got him 9yrs ago now…it really is excellent for changing their perception of things.
Kiko always gets the job done
Another brilliant video Emily – encompasses everything I am teaching my own shy dog.
Some really important information for ALL dogs and their handlers…well done and thanks for sharing

Great vid, I LOVE it. Neither of my dogs are necessarily hand shy, but I think these kind of exercises are good for any dog.
A+++ Love your videos Emily, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am so glad I found your channel. I’m having so much fun teaching my aussies using these techniques.
Yes! Hands can be creepy!! Mi prefers under the chin as opposed to over her head, even after lots of positive experiences. She greets people very well as long as I am close by, having trouble getting to the independent greeting. She loves the touch command, so perhaps I’ll get people to ask her to touch and see how she does.
This is fantastic – my chocolate lab Tillie had a bad experience at the vets last year and is now scared of strangers touching her (she is fine with us at home – and we can touch all over her body, ears, eyes, teeth, mouth, legs etc) its just strangers and the vet!! ….
…. but since changing vets – my new one has joined in with the positive reinforcement allowing me free consultations – to work with Tillie – being touched – using positive reinforcement techniques – I use the marker word “yes” when she allows anyone to touch her – without her shying away, and we have come on leaps and bounds !!
Another EXCELLENT video! Those shelter dogs are adorable. I hope they get a forever home to love.
really wonderful advice. I have spent hours and hours with Vinnie just getting him ok with being handled but it’s been very worth while
Thank you for all your videos. I look forward to each of them.
