I absolutely love how you present such a holistic approach to dog training. You've quickly become one of my favorite TH-cam channels! Keep up the amazing work. Cheers from Mexico!
Spot on! My first dog trainer was just positive reinforcement, which turned my malinois Betty into a monster. 9 days with you turned her into a pet and training me gave me the tools to carry on the good work. A year on Betty is now amazing, thankyou so much🐶😀
Training a dog is like raising a child. Love them rewarded them but they should know the rules and that they can’t do whatever they want whenever they want. Great video man
“Impulse control and arousal management”🎉🎉 The very first thing I teach my dogs is impulse control… Without that any progress is slowed… It’s just so simple and so overlooked! I love this video! Thank you!
Loving your channel mate, lots of good advice for people struggling with high energy, high drive dogs (like me). You explain things very clearly and logically.
Brilliant video and I was in the same boat as you four years ago when I first started out my company. You can never underestimate the power of marking, which you demonstrated in the R+ subtle as it was to the untrained eye. The other thing that I quickly learnt was if you cannot communicate with people you will never succeed in dog training. You have to be able to improvise in a split second to each individual scenario. Great videos as always
Completely agree in 8 years as a dogwalker I have walked hundreds of dogs with mostly positive outcomes but it still comes down to the fact if you are in charge You have to be in charge
I have found it often turns out the simplest things can have profound impact in the quality of life we give our dogs. Providing the ability to do nothing is definitely one of these things. ❤
From the beginning you should teach a marker word for correct behavior (i did "yes") and getting a food reward, and keep increasing the time from marker word to reward. So you can still let your dog know it's doing something correctly, even if you have no food.
thanks! this was amazing. i have felt like i needed to "entertain" my 6mos staffy constantly and it's felt like it's gotta completely out of control! now i feel like i can truly let her chill and not feel guilty
Some great points, especially re the neutering and exercise. We had a Standard Poodle who was trained to Olympic athlete level. Three hours running around the ski slopes in summer, a little nap, and he's ready for tug and fetch. We could have loaned him out to people as a weight-loss aid 😂
What I really liked about this video was reasonableness. I'm able to say 'yeah that's how real life works' with these situations. From what I've heard from people, neutering indeed can both worsen or help aggression, for example. And yes, I agree it's important to try understand the psychological process the dog is going through, it's a creature seeking truths in this world as much as you are. That's what is truly remarkable about us. Often the original problem about us is not paying attention, or being fixated to only some truths.
Great vid, very... balanced!! Love the importance to learn your dog the art of boredom, it's indeed essential they get used to do absolutely nothing (not all day long, of course)
Really like the idea of balance. They're not robots, they have 'off' days, your job is to recognise what's going on with them. My Dobermann can be incredibly protective and I've learned to 'see' where he is mentally and act appropriately, very cautious, crate him to bring him down, play games, give him a job. Also 'being a dog' is huge. I'm not just a parent, I'm his family/pack member, I actually lick his head (weird I know) but that's what his mother would do to bond with him - so I do it.
It also hugely depends on each dog. Some of my hardest to train were fearful shy ones that wouldn't take a treat from my hands for weeks, or look me in the eye, and panicked at any sound or movement. The balance of reinforcement to corrections are determined by their personalities. Trust and respect are earned in different ways by each dog and you have to be keen on how best to do that.
Finally someone who tells it like it is thank you so much! I have a ship who won’t let another dog smell her or near her she avoids them even though she grew up in a 5 dog household now I have to undo her behavior plus we got a puppy so I guess we are training them together slowly. I will be watching more of your videos to help my shihpoo and create a well adjusted puppy.
Massive sub matey! The last bit about training a dog to do nothing is what I've been trying to explain to the wife for the last 6 months with our 11 month old Parson Russell. She keeps saying he needs more exercise and he gets an hour a day, everyday come rain or shine. I come from a dog family though and this is her first so I can't complain. She's better with him than me.🤣
I agree with a lot of this. However, I’m probably much more against the regular use of treats and clickers than you are. I wholeheartedly believe that learning how to correct your dog (like a dog) is key. If we look at how dogs communicate with each other and correct each other, it’s rarely pretty, and there sure is never any treats involved. In essence, treats and rewards should never be used in conjunction with bad behaviors. Bad behaviors should only be corrected, and you can’t be afraid of physically correcting your dog. This doesn’t mean hurting your dog, by the way, for any fools out there. It usually means a physical bump, moving in front of your dog, or grabbing their neck scruff. None of this hurts your dog. Not even remotely. This should also be combined with a specific verbal correction that you’ve decided on. Lower your tone, be firm and confident, and deliver it with an abruptiveness. If you learn how to growl as well, then you get a gold star. Using treats and other reward tools are ok, ONLY if you’re teaching them something new, like a trick. Not during or after correcting a behavior. This only leads to confusion. Moreover, the best reward for your dog will always be you and your love. Exude happiness, goluckyness, increase the pitch of your voice, play with them briefly. Etc, etc. Ultimately, learn to be like a dog, and be a clear leader to your dog. This means correcting your dog (like a dog), and being your dog’s best friend and favorite person in the world when they’re behaving. Also, never correct with emotion. That is not going to help anything. Correct with confidence and firmness. Be aware of your inner emotional state and work on that. Good luck.
I think the saying 'Your dog trains you' is true. You can teach many dogs the same thing, but each learn differently and you have to learn the way that works best for them. If you learn while they learn, you are going to be a pretty solid team. I still do commands with my dog, but no treats are used anymore. She has learned and we are just honing those skills. Repetition is key. Your pitch, hand signals, body language should all trump the treat rewards.
Modern science disagrees. It has been proven numerous times now that correct use of positive reinforcement in dog training is less likely to have adverse effects on a dog when compared to “correction” based training.
"Learning how to correct your dog is key??" May I suggest that the following is key: * Build the right foundation through early development * Build a cooperation and collaboration shema with your dog * Ensure your dog is engaged "Correction meaning a physical bumb??" What about: * Deltas * Non reward markers * Response Cost * Time out Don't correct your dog with a "bump" for something it hasn't learned yet. A "bump" during training may cause conflict and is not conducive to learning. You did say "correct like a dog" right? It appears there is a gap in your knowledge. Most dogs don't give a "bump" physical correction straight up. Most dogs give a warning, often multiple warnings, in one way or another before getting physical. Whilst your Alpha only approach may work for some dogs, it's certainly not optimal, and not the way how studied, professional balanced trainers, train or develop working dogs for law enforcement, military, search and rescue, scent detection, or just a well balanced pet dog, or undertake behaviour modification these days.
I've always used clicks of the tongue, body language, and hand gestures. I praise when they're good, and ignore them when they're bad. If they are horrendous, rarely, I'll snatch them by the scruff and show my teeth. Then we play to show it isn't a grudge. I only have one left now, but I never did formal training, and she just want's to be close, and loving. My old dog I had 17 years, in my photo, at 1yo, would climb a step ladder and jump into my arms, or find anyone I told her to find, and then bring me to them, and many other things. I miss that girl. I think confidence is key. I've seen nice, but nervous people know what to do, and can't control their dog. I've see disciplinarians have no control at all. Dogs have to trust you, and that's most of it.
You mentioned lead pressure and while I somewhat understand the concept, when I search for training methods to this I get nothing. Can you do a video where you go through the structure of training leash pressure? It might seem obvious to some, but even for me that understands the idea/concept of the result, have a hard time incorporating the process in my training and walks.
I'm a dog trainer from the Netherlands. Pressure & Release This technique teaches your dog that leash pressure/tension will always release when the dog follows the direction. (- Give a verbal cue) - Apply appropriate tension to the leash , preferably steering the neck of the dog where you want it to go. - As soon as your dog moves to the desired direction or position, release the pressure. This teaches your dog that moving in the direction of the leash pressure, brings comfort, and a release of tension.
@@flip_shifty It might seem like a small thing, but I didn't realise that the verbal cue was part of it, because on the videoes I have seen, they just show how the leash pressure works. Thank you!
Currently training canine behaviour using the positive reinforcement method and I think does work... I also have a female English bulldog who I have had since she was born; she is resctive to cars, black bags and bigger dogs. I have onoy a few basic commands, sit, wait, here, follow, (stay close to me and don't pull,) loose, (giving her more freedom on the lead without taking her off the lead,) and thats it...
I have a genuine question about anchoring as you called it. Is letting dog out to the balcony a good way to teach her do nothing ? For now whenever i let her out, she just lay down and watch pepople passing by. And she can lay there sometimes for 15 min and somtimes for a straight hour or two basically chilling. Is it a good thing for her or i should rather put her on leash and just wait for her to chill out near my desk or iin the kitchen ?
From the beginning you should teach a marker word for correct behavior (i did "yes") and getting a food reward, and keep increasing the time from marker word to reward. So you can still let your dog know it's doing something correctly, even if you have zero treats.
You are absolutely right, but I think the presenter is trying to teach the very first fundament - as before you become efficient with how you use rewards you must understand how they stimulate the dog.
Food is not the right reward for every dog and every training situation. Some dogs become too energetic in the presence of food and it actually slows learning. Each dog is different and i use food, play, different types of touch or voice, depending on the excitablity and attention span of the individual dog and even the individual day.
about positive reinforcements, I learned from Susan Garrett the difference between shaping and rewarding on one side, and luring with food and creating a transactional relationship with our dog on the other. That's a critical concept not everyone tells us.
I love you content, but i live in the US and im getting a borboel, i think ill need to do a in person training. Do you have any recommendations for US trainers??
Hey there! I enjoyed your video! You could reach an even wider audience with a few small changes in your video description and tags. It’s just a small SEO tweak that could make a big difference. I’d be happy to share some tips if you’re interested!
You talk about neutering and give great advice for male dogs but what about female dogs? I have a un-nutrered chihuahua who is reactive to my new bulldog puppy. I’m wanting to get both neutered. I was hopefully it would help with the Chihuahua reactions. Do you have any advice for the pros and cons of neutering females?
I have currently no dog, as I have a loveable cat well with me, with an other pet he is a jerk. But hope to have one day. But that bad reinforcement works with cat as well, I had a behaviourist as the cat got a severe trauma when we moved dog cat are very different but training as quiète similare
In one of your videos you mentioned that if you could go back in time you would only use kibble as a training reward, and to your point I get different types of treats every once in a while, and my dog always seems to get over them after a while. My dog (5 mo old Retriever) has a resource guarding issue, even with high reward treats (sausage, meat, etc) it takes some time to get him away from what he is hoarding (most of the time socks and napkins). What is your overall advice with dealing with resource hoarding? And can I help him get over it with only kibble?
The whole neutering thing is what ALL vets should be telling people. I've been told in the past that taking their nads off can make fear/aggression/nervousness a lot worse and they will refuse to operate until that dog has been to a trainer. It can also go the other way. I have a coworker who neutered his dog that had a "perfect" temperament and after a few weeks, he became highly aggressive towards other dogs and fearful of his owner. Because of the aggression, that guys wife refuses to go into the kennel where they keep 3 of their 5 dogs just in case that 1 dog attacks her.
@lindsay9678-l8l I think be was either 2 or 3 at the time which is a bad age for getting them done. I've heard that you have better luck neutering boys as puppies. I won't even get my 15 month old Labrador neutered because he became a nervous wreck overnight shortly after he turned 6 months old. The vet said "yeah, that can happen", so now I'm stuck with a dog that is constantly on edge whenever I walk him 🤦🏼♂️. I'm hoping that it's just a fear period and not something that'll be lifelong because he used to be really confident.
@@_--____--______--___ For small dogs getting them done younger is OK but for larger dogs it's best to wait until they're about 2 anyway because development is slower. When it comes to vets advice on neutering I'd take it with a pinch of salt tbh. My boy had complications which is common for his breed but I wasn't told that until after it happened, prior to that I was told complications were rare and it's unlikely he'll be affected because he's strong and healthy. Temperament wise he hasn't changed, we already worked on his behaviour tho. Do your research specifically for labs and weight up pros/ cons for neutering, I was naive and took the vets words at face value. My others boys were never neutered and I had no problems with them.
I never believed in treats for good behaviour. It is bribery and they come to expect it for being good. Same with ponies and horses. Love them, pat them, praise them ... that works, and they are good for love not bribery! My Patterdale simply shares whatever I am eating, which makes her feel part of "the team." Therefore my diet is dog friendly! No chocolate, or onions ... Corrections are crucial. I have always worked on the basis that once told, after the defiant behaviour continues, you simply exclude the dog. Put it in the hall out of the living room. Put it in the tractor/car/van and carry on without it. The one thing a dog wants to do is join in in positive activity. Works a treat. Also works for reaction to other dogs and human social interactions ... I found that neutering does not really help, but it does reduce libido. Fourth point. A tired [well exercised] dog is a content dog. After a while you may have to give the dog more exercise, but that is as good for you as the dog! My Patterdale at four years old is now less dependant on being tired out, and has learned to sleep at every opportunity. But is instantly on the "qui vive" for more excitement than seems reasonable. I think that the best dog guardians are born not trained. There are really almost no bad dogs - there are some - but mostly a bad dog is owned by a worse guardian. Best wishes from George
I wish instead of removing dogs reproduction though spaying and neutering, would involve vasectomies with males, and OSS with females. I think testosterone and estrogen are extremely important to the overall everyday health of the dog. I know there can be a few complications with OSS but with enough skilled Veterinarians, both procedures could be common practice, probably wishful thinking on my part 😎😎😎
I have no problem with agression but with too much excitement. same procedure? really need help. dog is a two years old lagotto + besides that well trained. searching dog. anyone any ideas?
So your video isnt removed id sensor your f bomb at around 8.30-8.45 but personally i dont give a shit i just love your videos and dont want them removed
I have never used food to reinforce a good behaviour ..I have had rescue dogs all my life I’m now 60+…dogs respond to loving gestures of I love you and hugs …your so brave !,,,what a clever dog you are!….etc..and as for garden behaviour ..the more you try to get them in the more they will ignore you.unless you join them in the garden and tell them it’s time to go in..no nonsense..if they persist..I put dog on the lead and lead indoors with no praise…it’s going with your intuition..poop!! to a lot of dog trainers.matrix trained.. ..
Heads-up 😂 i don't know if you have seen the channel k9Tay has done a video on you! I stopped listening after 30 seconds and the mention of Zak George 😂
Also, define nothing. I routinely reward with (attention and praise) my dogs for being in a settled state of mind or for being on “place”. That looks a lot like “rewarding for nothing” to people who don’t train dogs for a living. In fact i want more of the exact behaviour I’m rewarding. I have very calm, non anxious dogs because i am rewarding the subtle behaviour of calm. Most anxious, reactive and aggressive dogs are inadvertently getting reinforcement for being in those negative states. Example: A whining dog gets a calming “you’re okay” and a cuddle from the owner. That is literally rewarding the behaviour you don’t want! Happens constantly!!
Why is it different, if you have a reactive dog then you should be going back to basics and if the dog doesn’t have a marker such as the clicker then that’s where you start. You’ve got to take things right back to the basics and slowly build the exposure
I wonder why the dog community is so strict on positive reinforcement only. It seems to be they think corrections are animal cruelty and as a large dog owner ive never felt my corrections caused pain, they just snapped my dog out of it. Yet when i say this i am treated like an imbecile. I would love to know where this brainwashing began.
Who hates the constant flicking from scene to scene and within a scene for absolutely no reason, for example, just to make stutters in the view, many times per minute of viewing? It's not as smart as the dummy in charge thinks it is. It's repulsive once it sinks in.
@@janejackson4509 It's not good for mental health at all, especially if you do not know what is going on. do you believe that all the work of cutting and cutting and re-sizing is done for no reason or for fun? It is not. I do not just scroll by things that are wrong to do to people.
@@Aidllorca I don't take kindly to abuse of viewers by putting out that kind of assault on the brain. Neither would I gladly put up with subliminal message flashing or any other such trash measures.

I also have a female English bulldog who I have had since she was born; she is resctive to cars, black bags and bigger dogs.
I have onoy a few basic commands, sit, wait, here, follow, (stay close to me and don't pull,) loose, (giving her more freedom on the lead without taking her off the lead,) and thats it...
Thanks great info 👍
I have a genuine question about anchoring as you called it. Is letting dog out to the balcony a good way to teach her do nothing ? For now whenever i let her out, she just lay down and watch pepople passing by. And she can lay there sometimes for 15 min and somtimes for a straight hour or two basically chilling. Is it a good thing for her or i should rather put her on leash and just wait for her to chill out near my desk or iin the kitchen ?
Very helpful video
From the beginning you should teach a marker word for correct behavior (i did "yes") and getting a food reward, and keep increasing the time from marker word to reward. So you can still let your dog know it's doing something correctly, even if you have zero treats.
You are absolutely right, but I think the presenter is trying to teach the very first fundament - as before you become efficient with how you use rewards you must understand how they stimulate the dog.
Food is not the right reward for every dog and every training situation. Some dogs become too energetic in the presence of food and it actually slows learning. Each dog is different and i use food, play, different types of touch or voice, depending on the excitablity and attention span of the individual dog and even the individual day.
very interesting video, was that a prong collar you were using to train with.
about positive reinforcements, I learned from Susan Garrett the difference between shaping and rewarding on one side, and luring with food and creating a transactional relationship with our dog on the other. That's a critical concept not everyone tells us.
Finally someone gets real!
Solid advice, cheers.
Amazing Video
I love you content, but i live in the US and im getting a borboel, i think ill need to do a in person training. Do you have any recommendations for US trainers??

Hey there!
I enjoyed your video! You could reach an even wider audience with a few small changes in your video description and tags. It’s just a small SEO tweak that could make a big difference. I’d be happy to share some tips if you’re interested!
You talk about neutering and give great advice for male dogs but what about female dogs? I have a un-nutrered chihuahua who is reactive to my new bulldog puppy. I’m wanting to get both neutered. I was hopefully it would help with the Chihuahua reactions. Do you have any advice for the pros and cons of neutering females?
I have currently no dog, as I have a loveable cat well with me, with an other pet he is a jerk. But hope to have one day. But that bad reinforcement works with cat as well, I had a behaviourist as the cat got a severe trauma when we moved dog cat are very different but training as quiète similare
Nice one
What type of collar is being used
Prong
In one of your videos you mentioned that if you could go back in time you would only use kibble as a training reward, and to your point I get different types of treats every once in a while, and my dog always seems to get over them after a while. My dog (5 mo old Retriever) has a resource guarding issue, even with high reward treats (sausage, meat, etc) it takes some time to get him away from what he is hoarding (most of the time socks and napkins). What is your overall advice with dealing with resource hoarding? And can I help him get over it with only kibble?
Try feeding your dog by hand for a week or 2. Don’t let him eat anything unless it’s out of your hand. Good luck
😮sausage dawgs😂❤
The whole neutering thing is what ALL vets should be telling people. I've been told in the past that taking their nads off can make fear/aggression/nervousness a lot worse and they will refuse to operate until that dog has been to a trainer.
It can also go the other way. I have a coworker who neutered his dog that had a "perfect" temperament and after a few weeks, he became highly aggressive towards other dogs and fearful of his owner. Because of the aggression, that guys wife refuses to go into the kennel where they keep 3 of their 5 dogs just in case that 1 dog attacks her.
Age of dog when neutering contributes
@lindsay9678-l8l I think be was either 2 or 3 at the time which is a bad age for getting them done. I've heard that you have better luck neutering boys as puppies.
I won't even get my 15 month old Labrador neutered because he became a nervous wreck overnight shortly after he turned 6 months old.
The vet said "yeah, that can happen", so now I'm stuck with a dog that is constantly on edge whenever I walk him 🤦🏼♂️. I'm hoping that it's just a fear period and not something that'll be lifelong because he used to be really confident.

For small dogs getting them done younger is OK but for larger dogs it's best to wait until they're about 2 anyway because development is slower. When it comes to vets advice on neutering I'd take it with a pinch of salt tbh. My boy had complications which is common for his breed but I wasn't told that until after it happened, prior to that I was told complications were rare and it's unlikely he'll be affected because he's strong and healthy. Temperament wise he hasn't changed, we already worked on his behaviour tho. Do your research specifically for labs and weight up pros/ cons for neutering, I was naive and took the vets words at face value. My others boys were never neutered and I had no problems with them.
I never believed in treats for good behaviour. It is bribery and they come to expect it for being good. Same with ponies and horses. Love them, pat them, praise them ... that works, and they are good for love not bribery!
My Patterdale simply shares whatever I am eating, which makes her feel part of "the team." Therefore my diet is dog friendly! No chocolate, or onions ...
Corrections are crucial. I have always worked on the basis that once told, after the defiant behaviour continues, you simply exclude the dog. Put it in the hall out of the living room. Put it in the tractor/car/van and carry on without it. The one thing a dog wants to do is join in in positive activity. Works a treat. Also works for reaction to other dogs and human social interactions ...
I found that neutering does not really help, but it does reduce libido.
Fourth point. A tired [well exercised] dog is a content dog. After a while you may have to give the dog more exercise, but that is as good for you as the dog! My Patterdale at four years old is now less dependant on being tired out, and has learned to sleep at every opportunity. But is instantly on the "qui vive" for more excitement than seems reasonable.
I think that the best dog guardians are born not trained. There are really almost no bad dogs - there are some - but mostly a bad dog is owned by a worse guardian.
Best wishes from George
In my experience orange cats come out from nowhere thinking they are badassss.
Stark is tiny for a Mali is he not a bull herder?
I wish instead of removing dogs reproduction though spaying and neutering, would involve vasectomies with males, and OSS with females. I think testosterone and estrogen are extremely important to the overall everyday health of the dog. I know there can be a few complications with OSS but with enough skilled Veterinarians, both procedures could be common practice, probably wishful thinking on my part 😎😎😎
I have no problem with agression but with too much excitement.
same procedure?
really need help.
dog is a two years old lagotto + besides that well trained.
searching dog.
anyone any ideas?
So your video isnt removed id sensor your f bomb at around 8.30-8.45 but personally i dont give a shit i just love your videos and dont want them removed
I have never used food to reinforce a good behaviour ..I have had rescue dogs all my life I’m now 60+…dogs respond to loving gestures of I love you and hugs …your so brave !,,,what a clever dog you are!….etc..and as for garden behaviour ..the more you try to get them in the more they will ignore you.unless you join them in the garden and tell them it’s time to go in..no nonsense..if they persist..I put dog on the lead and lead indoors with no praise…it’s going with your intuition..poop!! to a lot of dog trainers.matrix trained.. ..
Heads-up 😂 i don't know if you have seen the channel k9Tay has done a video on you! I stopped listening after 30 seconds and the mention of Zak George 😂
Leave my receding hairline alone nob ed 😆
❤
What about spaying??😅
My dog is so laid back he really likes doing nothing.
I find the greyhounds, whippets and Lurchers great breeds.
Less talk and more visual demonstration is best .
Ahhh…..that’s 6 dogs lol
Should you reward your dog for doing nothing?
Define reward?
Also, define nothing. I routinely reward with (attention and praise) my dogs for being in a settled state of mind or for being on “place”. That looks a lot like “rewarding for nothing” to people who don’t train dogs for a living. In fact i want more of the exact behaviour I’m rewarding. I have very calm, non anxious dogs because i am rewarding the subtle behaviour of calm. Most anxious, reactive and aggressive dogs are inadvertently getting reinforcement for being in those negative states. Example: A whining dog gets a calming “you’re okay” and a cuddle from the owner. That is literally rewarding the behaviour you don’t want! Happens constantly!!
This dog is clicker trained. VERY different!!
Why is it different, if you have a reactive dog then you should be going back to basics and if the dog doesn’t have a marker such as the clicker then that’s where you start. You’ve got to take things right back to the basics and slowly build the exposure
you can teach this within days, click and reward, probably the easiest thing to teach the dog, same goes with word
I wonder why the dog community is so strict on positive reinforcement only. It seems to be they think corrections are animal cruelty and as a large dog owner ive never felt my corrections caused pain, they just snapped my dog out of it. Yet when i say this i am treated like an imbecile. I would love to know where this brainwashing began.
Who hates the constant flicking from scene to scene and within a scene for absolutely no reason, for example, just to make stutters in the view, many times per minute of viewing?
It's not as smart as the dummy in charge thinks it is. It's repulsive once it sinks in.
Aww bless you, I hope your day gets better. Maybe just scroll past things that annoy you as its obviously not good for your mental health.
@@janejackson4509 It's not good for mental health at all, especially if you do not know what is going on. do you believe that all the work of cutting and cutting and re-sizing is done for no reason or for fun? It is not.
I do not just scroll by things that are wrong to do to people.
Watch from 10:00 and you see 4 camera stutters for no reason immediately, WHAT AN ANNOYING TRASH PIECE OF WORK.
UNSUBBED. Trash channel. Too bad, not a bad trainer. Just repulsive.
You seem nice
@@Aidllorca I don't take kindly to abuse of viewers by putting out that kind of assault on the brain. Neither would I gladly put up with subliminal message flashing or any other such trash measures.
But to each/own. You could enjoy it, for all I know.
I dislike it very much. I finally felt what they are doing, heavily done on this video. It made me aware of the ethics of these people,
@@thankmelater1254 please get help buddy.
You need to get a life.
I wish you could have left the devil incarnate out of the video.😢
Speaking too fast.
And here's me listening to this at 1.5x speed
You can slow videos down in settings :)
These aren't things that you discovered. These are things you shold have learned before you started.
