Ahh, I needed these videos like 12 years ago when our dog was a pup. She was definitely a tough one to crack and she still kind of does her own thing to this day. We took her to a professional trainer one time and they basically gave up. They said they couldn't help her. She said our dog wasn't motivated by food which made it kind of difficult I guess. Nice job here!

Without food motivation training can get difficult for sure. But they can be motivated with toys too, sometimes its even better. If neither works, you must have a very low energy dog (Nelson is not one of them) or there is something else in the background. Trainers can help, but there is only a few real expert among them in dog behavioral problems.
She is a high energy dog, but she was a rescue dog, so we aren't really sure what kind of trauma she had before she made her way to us. We just love her and have tried to give her the best home we can over the past 12 years.
