00:14

place especially if you don't know

00:16

what's going on and you don't know why

00:17

you're

00:19

here but I'm going to spend a little

00:20

time with you okay we're going to we're

00:22

going to work through this we're going

00:23

to figure this out together I think

00:25

she's looking at me isn't she no I think

00:28

she's trying to not look she's

00:31

hiding it's really loud in here

00:34

sometimes people say oh why does your

00:36

voice sound like

00:38

AI I'm not AI but I put a filter on it

00:42

because the Barking is so loud it would

00:45

be hard to even hear the video if we

00:47

just played the AUD like listen to

00:50

here's just some

00:52

audio see all that barking you

00:55

definitely couldn't watch my videos with

00:56

your

00:57

dog so I mute it so that you can hear it

01:00

but just know that unfortunately I can't

01:03

mute it for

01:04

her you know there are a lot of methods

01:07

in working with dogs and this is

01:10

definitely not a training video this is

01:12

a a journey that I share to just show

01:15

some of these dogs and how a little

01:17

Comfort can go a long way a little love

01:19

can make a lasting impact and that's

01:22

what we're trying to do here and the

01:23

thing I've noticed over time is avoiding

01:26

eye contact and not giving them eye

01:28

contact really goes a long way it just

01:31

de-stresses the

01:33

situation one of the first things I try

01:35

is a treat now when a dog's in this fear

01:37

State it's typically unlikely that

01:39

they'll take a treat but if they do that

01:43

is my first step in to allowing them to

01:47

accept some of my love not a tree taker

01:50

okay all right I'm going to go ahead and

01:52

sit down I want to get small as I can

01:54

with her I think it's a her you got a

01:57

pink collar on she going to go real slow

02:03

keep looking

02:04

away I've noticed that the more dramatic

02:07

I can make the Look

02:09

Away the less stress so that yeah so the

02:12

dog clearly sees my head and my eyes

02:15

just not focused on them they are not

02:17

the focus of this

02:19

interaction use this my phone as kind of

02:23

a rearview mirror to see her well she's

02:27

cute she definitely kind of a one of the

02:31

smaller German Shepherds that I've seen

02:34

I glanced at our info sheet and I said

02:36

it I think it said like between 35 and

02:38

75 lbs which is kind of a broad

02:41

range I think she's 35 lbs for sure I

02:45

mean that delicious treat is right there

02:46

and she has zero interest in it honestly

02:49

I I don't know if we'll be able to have

02:51

any impact on her and and a lot of dogs

02:54

surprise me but she is she is so I mean

02:57

not shut down but so dis interested in

03:01

receiving any sort of Love remember

03:04

there are no goals when I sit with a dog

03:06

but if we can get her to accept some

03:09

affection it will only increase her

03:12

chances of getting adopted and just

03:14

her reduce her anxiety and her stress

03:17

which would be so helpful but I think if

03:20

anything it's just going to take time

03:22

I'm going to find out her story here in

03:24

a minute Alexis can you look up her

03:25

story and tell me here in just a little

03:26

bit yeah of course Alexis is going to

03:29

look in the shelter system she's got her

03:30

computer with us and she's just sitting

03:32

right out there and uh she's going to be

03:34

able to look into the system and see if

03:36

there are any notes and we'll get we'll

03:37

get some more info on her but I mean

03:39

look she has not moved from that look

03:41

away position I'm going to try another

03:44

treat that I'm going to put it closer to

03:46

her the reason I don't go in and and

03:48

take that treat and give it to her again

03:50

closer is because what I don't want to

03:52

do as small as it may seem is take

03:54

something away like I want to add things

03:57

so I'm going to give her another treat

03:58

closer and see if that does

04:08

anything she did I am going to bump it

04:11

for closer oh oh I should Oh wrong move

04:15

I just even said I going to do that and

04:17

then I did it I'm going try this

04:21

again dogs are so much like people is

04:24

wild right like sometimes sometimes the

04:26

fear that we have inside of us is so big

04:28

that we can't even take a step forward

04:31

albeit so small like that treat is an

04:35

inch away from her snout and she is too

04:39

scared to reach forward to take that

04:41

treat but we're going to help we're

04:42

going to work on that and guess what I

04:45

know I said I didn't know if we could do

04:46

anything now that we have some treat

04:48

movement we're oh we can we can show

04:51

this girl some love we we can make an

04:53

impact here I'm going to try the the I

04:56

call it the Pac-Man

04:58

method

05:00

very scientific here you know it's kind

05:03

of like when Pac-Man Chumps all the

05:04

treats forward so I kind of put a row of

05:07

treats and then will she packman in

05:09

forward let's

05:12

see come on come on thinking

05:16

about no okay I'm going to try again I'm

05:20

going to go backwards on the Pac-Man

05:21

method oh maybe not oh so

05:26

close I'm going to make the crumbs even

05:29

crummier

05:34

can you guys see that I went from like

05:35

big to small come on so close she got it

05:39

she got it yeah player being cool being

05:43

cool Rocky be cool that's that's like my

05:46

life motto be reminding myself to be

05:49

cool cool be cool bro I I think it's

05:52

great because it's like when you see a

05:54

dog like this in this state it's so hard

05:56

and it's so painful and it just hurts

05:58

your heart but it's like if you you

05:59

think forward from this moment with that

06:02

little progress right there like you can

06:04

just fast forward to seeing her on the

06:06

couch cuddling with a family being loved

06:09

being supported like someone giving her

06:11

the same loyalty that she gives them in

06:14

the first place and like that and that

06:16

makes me really happy and that's what I

06:18

try to look at cuz when I sit here it's

06:20

really easy to get angry and frustrated

06:22

especially if I find out her story and

06:23

it's a bad one so I just always try to

06:25

look forward and see the dog that I know

06:28

she will be

06:30

I'm going to try

06:42

something I'm going try an open hand

06:48

now see an open hand is a much bigger

06:50

Step A lot of times trainers will advise

06:53

you to go with an open hand with a treat

06:55

versus handing it where your fingers can

06:57

be little Vienna sausages and they'll

06:59

take them off

07:00

but this is a much

07:02

Bolder statement with a dog who is shut

07:05

down and terrified and so this just

07:08

makes a little easier because every

07:10

centimeter makes a difference when

07:11

you're dealing with a shut down

07:14

dog it's just less in your face but

07:17

that's really good we have some progress

07:20

I think we find out a little bit more

07:22

about her story to see if we can get a

07:24

little information oh okay Alexis what

07:27

uh tell me more about her how old old is

07:29

she so uh they're saying she's around 3

07:32

years old okay so she's pretty young do

07:36

we have a name she has no

07:39

name uh and she is available she was

07:43

found as a stray by a Good Samaritan

07:47

when did she come in she came in about a

07:49

week ago now so she's been here for

07:50

seven days so so here's how it works at

07:52

this shelter and it's different Shelter

07:55

by shelter the the shelter in your town

07:57

is is likely different but they're

07:58

they're all very similar it's a 5-day

08:00

hold if the owner is unknown to give a

08:03

family time to come in and find their

08:05

dog if she's not microchip there she not

08:07

microchipped right no she's not

08:09

microchipped so no no

08:11

collar no collar no leash uh found stray

08:16

she was found in a Home Depot parking

08:19

lot a lot of times when dogs are found

08:22

in those situations in my opinion

08:25

they're they're trying to get help now

08:27

they may not go they may not be seeking

08:29

help but they're looking for food or

08:32

something because they're really

08:33

struggling water you know they don't

08:35

know how to survive on the street

08:37

because if it's a street dog they'll

08:38

typically stay away from busy places hi

08:43

are you looking for another treat let's

08:45

try an open hand you want a

08:53

treat oh that was good that was really

08:55

good some good things happened right

08:57

there so she put her pause forward very

09:00

small movement I'll replay it very small

09:03

movement but a really big movement in

09:06

her world and then she inspected me

09:10

before she took the treat so she sniffed

09:11

me out so that's that's really good is

09:13

she looking at me right now she is right

09:16

no still no I feel it's funny cuz I mean

09:18

maybe she's looking at your butt I get

09:21

to a

09:24

lot I don't I I don't think I've ever

09:27

been able to say

09:28

that

09:30

dog maybe let's keep this yeah from dogs

09:34

yes all right let's keep this family

09:36

friendly Killy looking at you okay yeah

09:39

cuz my wife's making inappropriate

09:41

[Music]

09:42

comments I guess I made inappropriate

09:45

com oh yeah we're making progress that's

09:48

good that's really good right there

09:50

she's actually in a really bad spot and

09:52

I'll tell you why she''s been here for 7

09:54

days and she's still acting this way and

09:56

that's a problem because as people walk

09:58

by the kennel when she's scared and

10:00

she's shut down people don't see her and

10:02

I know you're watching this video and

10:04

you might see that is the dog that I

10:06

would be attracted to that might be

10:08

because you're a dog person or you're

10:09

experienced or you're seeing this video

10:11

and you're seeing her story but I'm

10:13

statistically dogs that are at the back

10:15

of the kennel that are shut down are

10:17

less likely to get adopted and they

10:18

don't make it out of shelters and so you

10:21

know she's available now for adoption

10:23

and it's one of the reasons we do this

10:25

and one of the reasons I appreciate you

10:27

all so much just being involved and

10:29

engaged in sharing this and becoming a

10:31

member by the way would love to have you

10:33

as a member and be a part of this

10:35

community but we get to tell her story

10:38

right we get to be the voice for the

10:40

voiceless and even bigger than that is

10:42

we get to show her some love and comfort

10:44

and I've seen a drastic turnaround from

10:46

just a small amount of comfort where you

10:48

come in the next day or the next hour

10:50

and they're at the front of the kennel

10:51

or they're approaching humans because

10:53

they see humans now as a good thing

10:56

maybe a treat dispenser and that's okay

10:59

too I'm okay with that I'm okay seeing

11:01

being seen as a giant Pez treat

11:04

dispenser so now we know our story which

11:07

doesn't tell us much she was brave

11:09

enough to probably look for help that

11:11

was probably a big step and so I'm going

11:12

to tell her how proud I am of her for

11:15

that we're going to move into some

11:17

positive affirmations and I'm going to

11:18

try to move back a little

11:19

bit just to get a little more on her

11:21

level and in her eyesight

11:24

hi uh oh we don't have a name right no

11:28

name yeah

11:30

let's think about something that has to

11:31

do with Home Depot Home Depot what could

11:35

what could have to do with Home Depot I

11:37

mean I don't want to name her

11:39

Depot but something let's try this

11:47

12:02

before treat or good girl I mean there's

12:05

zero reaction so uh that's okay it'll be

12:08

the first time she's ever been told

12:09

she's a good girl and I'm okay with

12:11

being the first person to ever tell you

12:13

that because you are a good girl you

12:15

know that you are deserving of love and

12:18

you are a good girl and I am so proud of

12:21

you for being brave enough to ask for

12:23

help that could not have been easy and

12:25

now you're safe and you are probably the

12:29

littlest German Shepherd I've ever seen

12:31

which makes you so unique and special

12:34

and I know right now it's hard to look

12:36

at at me and make eye contact but just

12:38

know that I love you and you are worse

12:42

more than you know we got a little eye

12:44

movement there she felt it you're a good

12:47

girl you're loyal and you're kind and

12:49

you're loving and you're deserving and

12:52

one day you're going to have a family

12:54

who loves you and you're going to be

12:55

able to give your love and loyalty in

12:57

return good girl

13:00

13:02

little touch huh hey good girl he a good

13:07

13:13

feel good huh you feel good yeah you

13:17

want a

13:18

treat huh you want a treat yeah okay we

13:22

take a little break she's processing a

13:25

lot of information right there and you

13:28

can see like there's no not an ounce of

13:30

of any fear turning into any reaction

13:33

like no teeth snarling or growling or

13:36

anything like that she just doesn't know

13:38

what to do right she just hasn't

13:40

probably ever been shown love before and

13:41

she might have been on the streets long

13:43

enough to be feral not fully feral but

13:45

you know to start to regress to that

13:48

over that

13:49

evens okay that feels good though

13:52

doesn't it does that feel good a little

13:55

bit she's leaning into that a little bit

13:57

that's good that's a good girl

13:59

you're a good girl thank you thank you

14:02

for giving me a little trust here yeah

14:06

does that feel good yeah good

14:10

girl yeah does that feel

14:13

good okay can we get in there a little

14:16

bit there we go oh yeah okay good girl

14:20

take a little break little breather what

14:22

do we come with a name yet we got to

14:24

work on a name or what about what's Home

14:27

Depot's color orange hope does a lot of

14:29

donations to animal shelters like for

14:32

helping them build stuff so that's good

14:34

this is not a sponsored Home Depot post

14:37

they have like a slogan or a saying you

14:38

guys wouldn't know you're not my Home

14:40

Depot audience um

14:42

yeah get it done that's the that's not

14:45

their slogan get it

14:47

done maybe that should be though um how

14:50

doers get more

14:52

done well that was pretty close I mean

14:55

get it done outd doers give sure it's

14:58

funny it is funny I know it doesn't seem

15:00

funny right now but that was funny um

15:02

she did not lie for your joke we don't

15:04

have to do home deep we don't have to

15:06

name her after something home I feel

15:08

like we're trying to force it I'm like

15:10

you know thinking about like a cedar or

15:13

pine or

15:14

Oak hammer

15:17

wrench how about Bobby has nothing to do

15:20

with Home Depot and I think that's

15:21

probably a good thing well Bob the

15:23

Builder Bob the Builder Bobby the

15:26

Builder Bobby the Builder okay I like

15:29

has nothing to do with Home Depot I

15:32

think is she getting tired you know a

15:34

lot of dogs in this state that their

15:36

fear is just so exhausting that when

15:39

they do get into a comfortable State

15:41

they fall asleep which is understandable

15:43

and so that that's a good that's

15:44

actually a good sign right there she

15:46

won't put her head down it' be really

15:47

nice if she' put her head down and relax

15:49

a little bit but oh okay so Bobby Let's

15:53

try her a new name even though she's

15:55

falling asleep Bobby Bobby do you like

15:58

15:59

16:29

okay so now we're going to do a fun

16:30

segment cuz I want to spend a little

16:31

more time with her cuz sometimes it just

16:33

takes time you know you all have been

16:34

sending mail sneaky sneaky you looked up

16:37

the address of the shelter and you sent

16:39

mail now don't everyone go and send a

16:41

bunch of mail cuz the shelter only has

16:43

so much they're not a post office box

16:45

right but I did get some mail and uh I

16:48

thought it'd be fun to open it and Bobby

16:50

and I could read it to you guys you okay

16:53

oh you have it yes okay okay and you

16:55

already checked some of these out yeah

16:57

um so thank you you guys you are you are

16:59

too much what is this we have a toy for

17:03

17:10

squeaky oh what is that Bobby what is

17:14

that Bobby well Bobby yeah thank you

17:17

17:18

interest she shown in anything you like

17:20

that is that making is lamby making you

17:23

a little comfy here look it's a

17:26

toy certainly she doesn't know what a

17:28

toy is

17:30

it's funny cuz she liked it she was

17:32

getting excited about it and that

17:33

excitement just put her even more into

17:36

shutdown it's like when someone showers

17:37

compliments on you it's that feeling

17:39

where you almost don't know how to take

17:40

it and that's what she's experiencing

17:42

right now I would imagine okay we're

17:44

going to we're going to put it over here

17:45

here I'll put it right here in case you

17:53

language

17:55

altogether okay good girl I know it's a

17:58

lot lot huh it's a lot it's

18:00

heartbreaking to see a dog go through

18:01

this cuz just in these moments it's the

18:03

first time she's ever been told she's a

18:04

good girl it's the first time she's ever

18:07

20:46

unbelievable Holly sent me a letter even

20:49

drew a little wolf sign on here and uh

20:52

just wanted to share a remarkable story

20:54

of the positive impact you made okay

20:57

last weekend someone came up to our

20:59

front porch and turned our door knob but

21:01

there was no knock on the door too late

21:03

in the day to be the Pam man so it must

21:05

be a solicitor I thought I turned to

21:07

look out the window to see who it was

21:09

and I was shocked to see a 10-year-old

21:11

Barefoot child wearing pajamas walking

21:13

up the

21:15

street immediately I knew the child was

21:17

lost and had to get her to safety before

21:19

anyone harmed her I ran out of the house

21:22

to follow the child and found her trying

21:24

the door knob of our neighbor she was

21:26

going to that house trying to get inside

21:27

to a warm safe place oh my goodness this

21:30

is wild as I approached her I didn't

21:32

want to do anything to scare or alarm

21:34

her I thought to myself what's the best

21:36

way to approach her so that I don't

21:38

scare her off so I use some of the

21:40

techniques that I learned by watching

21:41

Rocky gaka on sitting with dogs I

21:43

approached her slowly and didn't touch

21:45

her didn't reach out for her or try to

21:47

grab her I just said hi and talked to

21:50

her calmly I sat down on the wall of the

21:52

flower bed to be eye Lev with her I told

21:54

her she knocked on my door so I came out

21:56

to help her and we could find her

21:58

parents she couldn't or wouldn't tell me

22:00

her name but she quickly trusted me and

22:02

was willing to let me help her that's

22:04

amazing she came into my house we called

22:06

911 soon her father came looking for her

22:09

and found her safe and warm in our home

22:12

so I want to thank you for sharing the

22:13

good work you do with dogs that's pretty

22:15

wild I mean thank you I get zero credit

22:18

for that you get all the credit that is

22:21

awesome and I'm so glad you were able to

22:22

help her that's pretty cool mail time's

22:24

fun isn't it yeah that was fun let me

22:26

know if we should do more Mail Time well

22:28

have to figure out a way or something

22:30

set up maybe a a postal box or something

22:32

Bobby what do you think these are pretty

22:33

sweet huh can I pit you a little bit

22:35

22:39

22:43

22:46

oh yeah oh yeah good girl good girl she

22:51

seems to be okay with you petting her

22:53

though yeah I she's definitely warmed up

22:55

to that and like I would love to scoop

22:57

her up and put her in my lap just to

22:58

show her some

22:59

comfort um I don't know if she's ready

23:02

for that I don't think so the thing is I

23:05

think it could help if I get her out of

23:07

this corner I think it'll go a long way

23:09

come

23:11

here okay

23:13

Health it's

23:16

23:21

okay okay okay okay it's okay it's

23:35

23:40

23:41

girl yeah that's a good

23:44

girl good girl there we go

23:49

yeah good girl

23:52

Bobby that's a good

23:54

girl thanks for letting me do the scoop

23:58

you

24:00

okay it's okay yeah it's okay here here

24:05

we

24:06

go there we

24:08

go she's like okay I don't want to be

24:11

all the way up in the LA but I'm okay

24:14

with it right

24:15

here look at those eyes so dud eyes oh

24:20

this is a big step I'm so proud of you

24:22

what you may about not be able to see in

24:24

the video is just her

24:26

shake like just the Shak and a lot of

24:29

it's from the other dogs barking she's

24:31

shedding really bad like you just touch

24:33

her and the hair comes out um it's like

24:37

my shirt is now covered in dog hair

24:40

which is fine I actually you may have

24:42

seen this before I actually saw

24:43

something really cute where um someone

24:47

someone said like a rich person will

24:49

have designer labels on their clothing a

24:52

happy person will have dog hair which is

24:56

so true like find me a piece of M clo

24:58

clothing that doesn't have dog hair on

25:01

it all right that's good you you may not

25:04

have seen that but she checked me out

25:06

right there she did a little sniff on my

25:07

hand and that's cool cuz when her

25:09

sniffer is working then that starts to

25:12

open up it's like when you take a deep

25:13

breath right when you just oh just deep

25:16

breath in it it starts to just allow

25:19

your brain to think that's her deep

25:21

breath is that

25:22

sniffing all right you see her coming

25:25

out of her shell a little bit yeah

25:29

hi girl here let's move that collar and

25:31

get under there oh that feel good does

25:34

that feel good yeah I'm proud of you I'm

25:38

proud of you you're making big steps

25:40

okay so here is the thing she's going to

25:44

need our help she is available for

25:46

adoption she's going to need someone

25:48

that will give her the freedom in the

25:51

space to develop the Curiosity to come

25:54

out of her shell and so what does that

25:55

mean well it means when you get her home

25:57

she's not going to be that dog that you

25:59

dream of on day one it's likely days

26:02

weeks possibly months of letting her

26:06

come to you not giving her eye contact

26:09

or not like forcing your love on her

26:11

being okay if she's offended and doesn't

26:13

take a meal that you make for her and so

26:16

on and it's letting her come to you that

26:20

Curiosity that that she shows over time

26:23

will lead to her wanting to know like

26:25

what's going on how do I be a part of

26:27

what you're doing if you have other dogs

26:29

that could be wonderful because then

26:31

she'll get to learn how to be a dog from

26:33

those other dogs but this is a dog that

26:35

is clearly in almost not feral she's not

26:38

feral but she doesn't know what being a

26:40

dog is she's been out and about for long

26:42

enough she doesn't have a collar doesn't

26:44

have a leash but she will make a great

26:46

dog like there's something that the bond

26:49

between a dog that you've brought out of

26:51

this state there is nothing like it

26:53

there is no dog that you can buy or

26:56

friendship that you can have that will

26:58

be more powerful than the understanding

27:01

you have with a dog where you saved them

27:04

and they saved you right that old saying

27:06

I need your help I need you guys to

27:08

share this we have to get the word out

27:09

about her because she's going to need

27:11
