Today we are working with Flash, the cute, adorable, little pit bull guy, but he has one big problem.

今天，我們要與可愛的小鬥牛犬 Flash 合作，但它有一個大問題。

Well, maybe two big problems.

嗯，也許是兩個大問題。

He's been afraid of men, which is why he came to see me, but then our emerging clients this weekend were here at the park, and he was chasing cars going down the street.

他一直害怕男人，所以才來找我，但這個週末我們的新客戶來公園，他就在街上追著汽車跑。

I wasn't involved in that early in the morning, and it was reported back to me, so we came today to work on it, and we want to share this info with you.

我一早並沒有參與此事，但有人向我彙報了這一情況，所以我們今天就來處理此事，並希望與大家分享這一資訊。

So hang tight, let's take a peek how we deal with it.

是以，請加快腳步，讓我們來看看我們是如何處理它的。

So chasing cars, chasing wheels, anything super high energy like this, there's two main factors that you're going to really have to take into account.

是以，追逐汽車、追逐車輪、追逐任何像這樣的超級高能量的東西，有兩個主要因素是你必須真正考慮到的。

Number one, your intensity has to be right.

第一，你的強度必須正確。

You can't try to interrupt your dog's behavior or feelings with a very low level interruption.

您不能試圖用很低級的干擾來打斷狗狗的行為或感受。

It's going to have to be higher level.

必須要有更高的水準。

And number two, your timing.

第二，你的時機。

The more you let adrenaline rise, the harder it is to get back down and deal with.

你越是讓腎上腺素上升，就越難降下來處理。

So be their friend.

所以，做他們的朋友吧。

Catch it as soon as they think about it, and apply the appropriate amount of pressure on your leash.

一旦他們有這個念頭，就立即抓住它，並對牽引繩施加適當的壓力。

You're just letting them know that the feeling that should be coming from you is not frustration or anger.

你只是讓他們知道，你應該有的感覺不是沮喪或憤怒。

Dogs are just doing what dogs do.

狗只是在做狗該做的事。

You have to stay calm and stable so they follow you, and you can't get upset.

你必須保持冷靜和穩定，這樣他們才會跟著你，你也不能生氣。

And so, but your timing must be right on as soon as they notice the vehicle, because your whole point is ignore the vehicle.

是以，只要他們注意到這輛車，你就必須把握好時機，因為你的重點就是忽略這輛車。

I wouldn't mind a gentle look, but this hard look is called fixation, and that is the problem.

我不介意溫柔地看一眼，但這種生硬的眼神叫做固執，這才是問題所在。

Fixation is and we don't want them hunting wheels.

我們不想讓他們獵殺輪子。

It's deadly.

這是致命的。

So what we want to do first before we go practice in the traffic, or near the traffic, is we're going to go get him tired.

所以，在我們在車流中或車流附近練習之前，我們首先要做的就是讓他累起來。

We're going to take a little walk down the nature trail, let him spend some calories, get his brain tired, and get his body tired, and then we're going to come back up in town and do the hard work.

我們要在自然小徑上走一走，讓他消耗一些熱量，讓他的大腦疲憊，讓他的身體疲憊，然後我們再回到鎮上，做艱苦的工作。

It's going to be harder for him to pass cars facing them than it is for them to come from behind us, at least initially.

至少在一開始，他要超越迎面駛來的車輛要比從我們後面駛來的車輛困難得多。

Okay, so now we're going to turn around.

好了，現在我們要轉身了。

Now that we have gone away from the cars, now we're going to go toward the cars.

既然我們已經離開了汽車，現在我們要走向汽車。

So, you see he's hesitating.

所以，你看他在猶豫。

He wants to stop and look at them.

他想停下來看看它們。

We may repeat the process.

我們可以重複這個過程。

Pressure on the leash.

對皮帶施加壓力。

Relax when he does.

當他這樣做時，請放鬆。

Super important.

超級重要

This leash may look a little bit tight to you guys, but it's not.

你們可能覺得這根繩子有點緊，其實不然。

I'm extremely close to him, but it is not tight.

我和他關係非常好，但並不親密。

I'm so close because I can get to him in a nanosecond, and timing right now is everything.

我離他這麼近是因為我能在一納秒內找到他，而現在時機就是一切。

Calm feeds calm.

冷靜養育冷靜。

He reads what I'm feeling.

他讀懂了我的感受。

We know this about dogs.

關於狗，我們都知道這一點。

We don't apply it, though.

但我們並沒有這樣做。

You have to stay balanced.

你必須保持平衡。

So, timing is everything here.

是以，時間就是一切。

So, as we have been working with Flash on the cars, as you guys can see, like I can stop him from chasing the cars while I have him on a leash, but what would he do if he were off the leash and still had free choice?

是以，我們一直在和閃電俠一起玩汽車，正如你們看到的那樣，當我用繩子拴住它時，我可以阻止它追逐汽車，但如果不拴住它，它仍然可以自由選擇，它會怎麼做呢？

So, this is one of the rare times that I would use a remote collar or an electric collar.

是以，我很少會在這種情況下使用遙控項圈或電動項圈。

Now, let's understand that I'm never about hurting the dog, but there's a few things in life that I have found that you are not going to override that behavior with anything else, and for me, this is life-saving.

現在，讓我們明白，我從來不會傷害狗，但在生活中，我發現有幾件事你是無法用其他任何東西來推翻這種行為的，對我來說，這就是救命稻草。

If he chases cars and bites tires, that is going to kill him.

如果他追車咬輪胎，那會要了他的命。

So, this is one of the times where I use it, and then I also use one of my liberty lines so that I can also not be right on him and let him make a choice because I want him to associate wheels of cars and chasing cars as negative, flatly negative.

所以，這是我使用它的時機之一，然後我還使用了我的一條自由線，這樣我也可以不對他指手畫腳，讓他做出選擇，因為我想讓他聯想到車輪和追逐汽車是負面的，完全是負面的。

It's going to kill him.

這會要了他的命。

We wouldn't let our children run out into the street.

我們不會讓孩子們跑到街上去。

We stop them.

我們阻止他們。

Bam, bam, bam.

咣噹，咣噹，咣噹

I would be yes.

我想是的。

Okay, so like two seconds sooner.

好吧，大概快了兩秒鐘

And thank God they've got a human brain, so they learn eventually not to perform those kind of behaviors.

感謝上帝，它們有了人類的大腦，所以最終學會了不做出這些行為。

Dogs are not like that.

狗不是這樣的。

It's heavy prey drive.

這是沉重的獵物驅動力。

It's very high energy, very intense, and the only thing that's going to override that is a remote collar.

它的能量非常高，非常強烈，唯一能壓制它的就是遙控項圈。

A treat's not going to do it.

請客是不行的。

I firmly believe this, and I'm going to stand by my statement.

我堅信這一點，並將堅持我的說法。

This is one of the very few times that we're going to use an e-collar.

這是我們為數不多的幾次使用電子項圈的機會。

So, let's watch how it works.

讓我們來看看它是如何工作的。

We did it.

我們做到了

Yay.

耶

No death.

沒有死亡

I'm not a very enthusiastic type of guy.

我不是那種非常熱情的人。

I have the enthusiasm for both of us.

我有我們兩個人的熱情。

You did it, Flash.

你做到了，閃電俠。

That's right.

這就對了。

No death by car.

沒有人死於車禍。
