Just a general statement, not pointed at any one dog...No child that young should be at a off leash dog park. It is way too easy for this kid to be seriously injured, or even killed. Not even talking about an attack, just some excited dogs running around not paying attention could run right over her. I am 170 and my 55 lb dog hit me in the chest with a running leap and knocked me on my butt. Imagine a few 50 lb dogs running around hit a what, 15 lb toddler(sorry I have NO IDEA what that kid could weigh).
I agree , child in the area totally inappropriate even with the park less populated. All it takes are a few seconds of a dog with sufficient bite force to lockdown on the neck and it’s gg.
No! Crazy so many views on such terrible behavoir. Dog is in an aggressive pack, never allows other dogs to smell him. Starts fights & loses many in other videos. Owner thinks it's good.
Ronin really likes kids, it seems. When the baby fell down, he came over to investigate just to make sure they were okay. Roxie is just an affable, sweetheart. It's so interesting to watch and read their body language and gestures.
Wow, this is actually shows a really in-depth understanding of your dogs' and others' behaviours. I don't know a lot about it myself, but it's still really impressive!
I just love to see how detailed these explanations of body language. So many people are too afraid to socialize dogs because theirs always bark, but barking isn’t a sign of aggression or a threat on its own. I feel if more people were aware of the signs their dogs are signaling and willing to pay attention, more dogs would be socialized and more adaptable to both other dogs and their humans.
Exactly and so many people make the mistake of punishing or correcting the dog for a bark or growl so the dog then stops communicating their discomfort in a situation and goes straight for a bite.
Yup the amount of people who scold me and say “um are you sure your dog isn’t aggressive!?” Bc she’s barking is ridiculous lmao she barks while playing too she’s just vocal asf
if you think taking your dog to a dog park is a good thing you know almost nothing about dogs, you should introduce dogs through a fence or something also some dogs have high other dog aggression and the owners will know this its COMPLETELY irresponsible to let your dog off its lead especially a breed like this without a E collar on and you can cry about me saying that all you want but the reality is owners like this get people or other dogs hurt.
@@Shaz-gq7pv that behaviour should be corrected owners like you shouldn't even have a dog, you are not going to fix aggression if you dont treat the symptoms and you shouldn't let random dogs come up to your dog anyway thats incorrect socialisation and 9/10 leads to a fight and its all fun and games until your dog has its face bitten off due to your incompetence. They should be introduced through a fence off lead so there is no lead tension to create aggression so then they can smell each other then if they dont want to kill each other introduce them without the fence. iv seen to many irresponsible owners like you get there or someone else's dog badly hurt your the type to use a harness
@@LoveV_333 yeah imagine not trusting a owner that cant even stop a simple bad behaviour, i bet your dog also has lead tension and tons of other bad behaviour i wouldn't trust your dog either
I love this video and the breakdown. I've been bitten by dogs in the past and have a slight fear of them, being able to see their behaviors so I can look for these signs next time I meet one will help me a lot. I was not raised around dogs and have never really been able to read their behaviors.
Whatever you do, don’t fall for the misconception that a dog wagging its tail always means it’s friendly. Dogs wag their tails for everything: fear, play, excitement, aggression, submission, etc. It’s important to note what the rest of the body is doing (flinching? Shoulders hunched?) and the speed and scope of the wag.
@@maargenbx1454Yes! Biggest mistake people make for all animals. They look at one body part (usually the tail) and nothing else. How high the tail is matters, if it’s curled, how the haunches look, the ears, the general expression on their faces, if they’re standing tall or hunched down lower People make similar mistakes with cats too..they think a moving tail means stressed or warnings, but cats have many wags like dogs do and other important body signals
Honestly man, good on you for having such a well trained dog. He's obviously a very loved and well taken care of dog. My dog is very well tempered and trained to listen and heed me but I've definitely not dedicated enough time as you have. Truly awesome to see
Dog lifts foot indicating he intends to take a step. Dog sets foot down forward from where it was picked up to make clear that this individual step is now complete.
The dad was very aware of the dogs and put himself between the kiddo and Ronin at first. Kids and dogs both need socializing, and Dads are great for doing the "dangerous " fun stuff. The dangerous fun is honestly the most memorable for me. 😊
Yeah, I was nervous at first, but since the poster said the park wasn't busy, I guess it makes sense. Babies need to learn how to interact with animals, and if you don't have your own pets, you should find other ways. Personally I would keep my child in my arms till I'd gotten the go-ahead from the owner though.
@@racciacrack7579They can!Dogs are the only (I can’t think of any other animal) that understands what pointing is..which is a human gesture with our hands (which we taught to certain breeds to replicate..german shorthair pointers for example, they point in a direction similar to how we would just with their full body), if you pointed a dog is far more likely to look where you pointed than just stare at you meanwhile other animals will just stare at your hand as they don’t get the concept
Parents need to be held accountable for dumb stuff. Why the hell would you just let your baby walk up on an unfamiliar dog? Luckily, Ronin is a gentle dog. The child could have been bitten in the face. Maybe dad was just looking for someone to sue.
No the father was calm and confident. He had good energy around strange dogs. I think the reward of raising his kid to be calm and confident with dogs is worth the slight risk that something bad might happen. If there were too many dogs with too many owners, especially owners that aren't calm and confident, then it would have been more risky.
@@adeadgirl13no, it’s risky and unsanitary regardless. An excited dog can run right over a toddler without any malicious intent. Most dog parks will have signs about ages 10 and under anyway so bringing a kid that small to an off leash dog park is WILDLY irresponsible
This is a great video. So good to see simple examples of behavior. It is also good to see owners being aware of their dogs and the ques they give us. Thank you!
I happen to agree with the people who say the child shouldn't be at the dog park, busy day or not; dogs aren't permitted to run free in children's parks and loads of other public places--dog parks (and some hiking trails) are the only places where dogs are permitted off-leash (laws may vary from place to place). Your dogs were good with the kid, but that doesn't mean another dog would have been--and if that child got hurt, the dog(s) and owners would have been--quite unfairly--held accountable. Dog parks aren't great in general, though, not even for dogs themselves. Too much risk of fights, disease, and bad habits being developed. And I say this as someone who used to take their dog to the dog park regularly.
This dog is unbelievably smart. I think I had heard of many of the behaviours showed here, but I never saw it displayed so plainly. Great content. PS: also pretty impressive to see someone so fluent in Cannish. Kudos to you sir.
When the baby showed up and he ducked his head and put his ears back was so precious, what an absolute sweetheart towards that little baby, you’ve got an amazing relationship with your pups! They seem so social and happy, like all dogs want 💛
they're so in touch with their nature and instincts. even how they literally shake off a stressful encounter. something babies are really good at doing as well. adults should learn from this Also kudos to the uploader. Such careful video editing. Beautiful.
Lol…while the image is hilarious. Probably still better than popping anti-depressants, indulging in gambling, inoculating one self with alcohol and drugs, inventing pedestrian concepts like God and religion, engaging in therapy that doesn’t yield any results, going on unhinged spending, or straight shooting up a school.
The respect dogs show to our children is so fascinating to me. They either just naturally like children or know how much trouble they'd be in if they hurt a kid.
@@loosiluI mean, yea, no one should approach an unfamiliar dog 😂 Not unless owners have given the go ahead. I always let little kids pet my dog, she’s sweet with kids, if they ask their parents first (to help encourage the behavior of asking before going for something)
Love the step by step analysis on the behavior or your pack members. You really know your pups. On the contrary , that father had too much trust but I’m glad it turned out fine.
….our citizen trainer phrased our issue like this: not all dogs are raised around children. They make unpredictable and abrupt movements. Some dogs just won’t ever become adjusted to children. It resonates about a lot of behaviors that won’t be undone at a certain age.
This is wonderful! And there's an entire library of your content! My beautiful Higgins passed a couple years ago after fifteen years of love and loyalty. I'm thinking it might be time for a new besty. I keep watching dog videos lol. Your videos are so instructional. Thank you for doing this. I'm sure you're improving the lives of a lot of dogs.
your dogs are so well behaved! it shows that you put a lot of effort into training and loving them. if everyone at dog parks was like that, it would certainly be a better place
I really enjoyed this video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it, that stops to explain the body language and feelings involved in each gesture. Well done!
It's when animals treat babies like this that really reminds me of their emotional intelligence. Like they do their own version of a "baby voice" when interacting with the wee ones
Hey man, thanks for this. It's nice to see, step by step, the way dogs communicate and process interactions. I have a rescue pup that I was told was probably 2 when I got her but she ended up gaining another 15lbs or so, so no, no she was not. She has grown to be very confident but also very large. It has left me feeling very unsure about whether or not I could handle her if something were to go wrong. It's gotten easier over the few years I have had her to understand her body language but I still find myself unsure as to what is play and what is dominance. This kind of helped so thank you! It's also pretty neat to see what interactions between dogs are like from their level. They definitely have a language all their own!
I worked at doggie daycares for years and these explanations are spot on! There's definitely a reason why intact males are not allowed in group play at these places, though, because it does tend to cause fights. (Trying to separate a dog fight with a 1.5 year old intact Great Dane was NOT fun). As for over excited puppies, the older dogs have their own way of correcting them and it really does work. They learn faster that way than humans always meddling.
That's pretty cool to watch a breakdown on how dogs communicate, I think a lot of people, including myself, don't fully understand dog behavior especially when they have grown up around smaller dogs. I've noticed the responsibility is much more as consequences to an aggressive behavior or acting out is a lot more consequential than it would be from a smaller dog lol
he’s not the best person to learn it from. while some of his stuff is correct, others are wrong and biased towards his own dogs (who he always thinks are in the right even when they’re not) watching an actual professional dog trainer with certifications in canine behavior is the best way to learn
That was a beautiful interaction with your well trained doggos and the little baby. Jusy watching how gentle Ronin is made me smile, you have a great pack!
I appreciate the on the fly commentary explaining the behaviours and signals exhibited by the dogs. Dogs are always telling you something. You just need to learn the language and listen.
@@raimondsstokmanis1892 This has nothing to do with human psychology or even animal psychology. Just the laughable comments on the video overlayed. This here is just pretty much all made up with some general facts about dogs thrown in so it appears to be deep lmao. Sorry this is just to hilarious.
I don't have dogs, but videos like this help me as an author to ensure that I am writing accurate behaviours into my books. It's a small detail, but I know it matters to dog owners and people who are super familiar with dogs. So, thank you for putting up videos like this to entertain and educate. The information you include can help dog owners be seen and acknowledged, even when they might be reading a fantasy fiction escapist book.
It is true that some don’t agree with bringing a toddler to a dog park. Nothing like returning home and telling your spouse “Sorry, our child was mauled and is disfigured because I thought it was a good idea.”
I would never, allow my toddler to freely walk about amongst unknown dogs, no matter how friendly they seem. However, seeing the whole interaction through your knowledgeable eyes was really interesting and the dad was very relaxed as well, I'd be the nervy parent though, so no, not for me.
Bringing a toddler to a dog park where you kon't know all the dogs is a stupid thing to do. Letting your toddler play with a dog food dish in a dog park is asking for an attack. Sadly it will be blamed on the dog and not the parent.
Love seeing the little girl (or any kids) in a dog park as long as they are supervised and guided on what to do and not do. Ronin was great with her. Reminds me of my Husky, Malamute, Wolf mix and how much she loved kids. The hardest part was dealing with the parents who would project their fear onto their kids. Unfortunately, I recently had to send her over the rainbow bridge after 10 awesome, but far too short years. I miss her every day.
As the designated 'walking chew toy and belly rub giver' in my house to a 1 year old female Belgian Malinois, I was on the edge of my seat watching this and your Mal and that baby interacting was adorable but I gotta admit...I was eyeing that dad in the video hard.
I want a game about being a dog at a dogpark and trying to socialize, play and survive the other dogs. It'd be like a strategy game where you have to be very observant of the NPC dog's body languages and behaviors. You'd have to plan your next steps carefully. The more friends you make, the higher your social score grows. Off course you can also decide to screw your social score and make as many enemies as possible, while trying not to die. There could be more challenging scenarios at a high difficulty level, where there's multiple aggressive dogs which you must protect other dogs, a child or your owner from. There could be rescue dogs which are less predictable and require you to be even more careful. It would be so cool, interesting and educational.
my belgian Malinois ''Skye-wulf'' died in my arms yesterday, she tought me what uncondional love realy means. waching your dog made me cry like a little baby. Skye had that same soft aprotch with children.
extremely informative, i have a german shepard that is a sweetheart with us and the baby but is extremely protective whenever people walk past and i find it hard to gauge what he is thinking when other dogs are involved. A lot of these signals are recognisable from this video, awesome help!
I hope the father of that baby girl asked permission before approaching him with her. I’m not sure I would do what that dad is doing….just letting a tiny child be around that many dogs he doesn’t know
A sign of a truly well trained dog - biting a significantly smaller human at the smallest of inconveniences. "That toddler is lucky" Apparently that Akita is too, then. Dogs that kill kids get put down.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha yes he is quoting all moves like if everything has something to do with submission and domination bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha
No matter if it's calm day or not a toddler should not be in there. It may be different in your country, but we have strict dog responsibility in my country. Any kind of accident you will be held accountable for even if you shouldn't.
We rescued a female Belgian Malinoi who loved children, even in her old age. Never once growled or showed teeth even when kids were at their most boisterous-she would just move away. Miss you every day Greta.
This was so interesting, I love the language of dogs. They communicate and understand so much more than we realise. I had a small dog years ago who loved and got on will everyone, human and canine. His best friend at school was a Rottweiler,. The only dog he ever backed away from was an Akita, the other dog did nothing, just looked at my pup who literally backed away. There is something about them that oozes power.
The language is being over-interpreted imo. Most dogs are not just one thing, ie dominant or submissive, especially with dogs with whom they are friendly and familiar. particular behaviors are, of course. but it doesn't mean it will continue as such, the next day, or even the next 15 minutes. I have a pit, who reacts different ways to different dogs and different ways to the same dog that she has a very familiar relationship. Dogs intuit that other dogs will NOT play iterative games with them if they insist on always dominating. her best friend is a French bulldog and she dominates her, but she often allows herself to be submissive...so that she keeps her friend. A dog always forced to submit will go on to the next dog. But I think fundamentally, their language is situational. and most well adjusted dogs figure it out very quickly. and thats why we love them.
Akita’s are great got mine when I was 13 he was 6 months old. Had him until 2017 the best dog I ever had and got along great with kids and other dogs .. never had a problem.. kids used him as a pillow lol
@@amberdunn8788 I’m glad you had the chance to share some of your life with such a beautiful animal, I feel very privileged to have known all the dogs in my life. Currently have a couple of daft spaniels snuggling up next to me.

I was waiting for someone to comment this exact thing, because I was thinking it through most of the video myself! So freaking dangerous.
I’ve been run over by other people’s dogs at a dog park and I’m an adult. They should really let the kid just watch from outside instead.
I agree , child in the area totally inappropriate even with the park less populated. All it takes are a few seconds of a dog with sufficient bite force to lockdown on the neck and it’s gg.
People will do anything for views on their channel.
I agree!
Also holy cow I had to read a part twice because I thought you said "No child that young should be off leash"💀
even though that puppy was being annoying, you can't argue it running then going belly up mid run to get any dog to play with it was just too cute.
Yeah made me smile. Very adorable 🥰

It's also pretty neat to see what interactions between dogs are like from their level. They definitely have a language all their own!
I have never seen another video showing the mannerisms explained like this.
Kudo's and thank you.
Cheers.
Its amazing how he treats the baby. This is what nature combined with human touch made.
I worked at doggie daycares for years and these explanations are spot on! There's definitely a reason why intact males are not allowed in group play at these places, though, because it does tend to cause fights. (Trying to separate a dog fight with a 1.5 year old intact Great Dane was NOT fun). As for over excited puppies, the older dogs have their own way of correcting them and it really does work. They learn faster that way than humans always meddling.
That's pretty cool to watch a breakdown on how dogs communicate, I think a lot of people, including myself, don't fully understand dog behavior especially when they have grown up around smaller dogs. I've noticed the responsibility is much more as consequences to an aggressive behavior or acting out is a lot more consequential than it would be from a smaller dog lol
he’s not the best person to learn it from. while some of his stuff is correct, others are wrong and biased towards his own dogs (who he always thinks are in the right even when they’re not) watching an actual professional dog trainer with certifications in canine behavior is the best way to learn
the intricacies of the social lives of dogs. I learned so much from this. Great vid!
Babies in off leash parks? Bad idea.
Roxie walking behind the baby, super invested? Adorable.
That was a beautiful interaction with your well trained doggos and the little baby. Jusy watching how gentle Ronin is made me smile, you have a great pack!
I absolutely love the solid insight into body language cues for dogs. Excellent video.
Ronin was keeping a protective eye on that baby when that Akita got close. Pretty awesome
Noticed that, as well. 👍😎
I appreciate the on the fly commentary explaining the behaviours and signals exhibited by the dogs. Dogs are always telling you something. You just need to learn the language and listen.
This is an incredibly useful video. I'm sometimes nervous with dogs and this has really helped me understand them better. Thank you.
I feel like I’ve learned so much about dog behavior from this video
I've never seen anything like this such in-depth material to dog behavior great video❤
I have had 4 Belgian Malinois in the past 35 years. All are gentle, family oriented dogs and if challenged they can be very tough customer too.
No way I’d take my toddler to a dog park.
Perfect dog behavior with the child: friendly and cautious. Kids are unpredictable but the dogs seem perfect to handle them.
Your explanations of dog behavior are the best I've ever heard.
Also completly anecdotal.
@@lordseaworth6055 According to you , human psychology is also anecdotal then, right?
@@raimondsstokmanis1892 This has nothing to do with human psychology or even animal psychology. Just the laughable comments on the video overlayed. This here is just pretty much all made up with some general facts about dogs thrown in so it appears to be deep lmao. Sorry this is just to hilarious.
@@lordseaworth6055 Says you.
So informative! Thank you for actually pausing long enough to read and process what you’re pointing out.
I don't have dogs, but videos like this help me as an author to ensure that I am writing accurate behaviours into my books. It's a small detail, but I know it matters to dog owners and people who are super familiar with dogs. So, thank you for putting up videos like this to entertain and educate. The information you include can help dog owners be seen and acknowledged, even when they might be reading a fantasy fiction escapist book.
I really love how you broke everything down with the dog's body gestures, you've got yourself a new subscriber.
It is true that some don’t agree with bringing a toddler to a dog park. Nothing like returning home and telling your spouse “Sorry, our child was mauled and is disfigured because I thought it was a good idea.”
Dude taking a lot of risk bringing a child into a dog park.
Many thanks for all these little lessons in dog behavior!
Gotta love a well-tempered bullit malligator. His behavior with the child reminds me of my first cat. SO freaking gentle.
Malligator 😂 good one hahaha.
He went into absolute sweetheart mode whent he child approached.
this is legit one of the best educational videos I've seen... simple, very detailed, to the point....nice job.
“He’s very gentle with the baby”
*baby trips over own leg*
The baby is not gentle with itself
I would never, allow my toddler to freely walk about amongst unknown dogs, no matter how friendly they seem. However, seeing the whole interaction through your knowledgeable eyes was really interesting and the dad was very relaxed as well, I'd be the nervy parent though, so no, not for me.
Saving this to watch again. Great lesson in dog body language and interactions.
Bringing a toddler to a dog park where you kon't know all the dogs is a stupid thing to do. Letting your toddler play with a dog food dish in a dog park is asking for an attack. Sadly it will be blamed on the dog and not the parent.
Definition of Dumb parent....
I just realized... my dog is a whole punk out here. 😂😂😂 He stays showing his belly😂😂
Love seeing the little girl (or any kids) in a dog park as long as they are supervised and guided on what to do and not do. Ronin was great with her. Reminds me of my Husky, Malamute, Wolf mix and how much she loved kids. The hardest part was dealing with the parents who would project their fear onto their kids. Unfortunately, I recently had to send her over the rainbow bridge after 10 awesome, but far too short years. I miss her every day.
As the designated 'walking chew toy and belly rub giver' in my house to a 1 year old female Belgian Malinois, I was on the edge of my seat watching this and your Mal and that baby interacting was adorable but I gotta admit...I was eyeing that dad in the video hard.
Dog is a hell of a cameraman. lol
Love that he's automatically affectionate with the baby. The kid was obviously curious and a bit loud but Ronin didn't get snippy or annoyed.
The slide at 1:00 had me in STITCHES!
I want a game about being a dog at a dogpark and trying to socialize, play and survive the other dogs. It'd be like a strategy game where you have to be very observant of the NPC dog's body languages and behaviors. You'd have to plan your next steps carefully. The more friends you make, the higher your social score grows. Off course you can also decide to screw your social score and make as many enemies as possible, while trying not to die. There could be more challenging scenarios at a high difficulty level, where there's multiple aggressive dogs which you must protect other dogs, a child or your owner from. There could be rescue dogs which are less predictable and require you to be even more careful. It would be so cool, interesting and educational.
Having a strategy game where you have to guess the dog behavior and act accordingly would be a grea way to teach people dog language!
Strong, confident dog, shows care with infant humans. Intelligent and well trained.
This is not a safe place for a child…even if every dog in that park is well trained, when zoomies happen, grown adults can be knocked to the ground.
my belgian Malinois ''Skye-wulf'' died in my arms yesterday,
she tought me what uncondional love realy means.
waching your dog made me cry like a little baby.
Skye had that same soft aprotch with children.
Sincerely sorry for your loss.
Condolences for your loss. I hope you got to share a lot of great years with your malinois.
So amazing to see how much details goes in to all of this thank you.
extremely informative, i have a german shepard that is a sweetheart with us and the baby but is extremely protective whenever people walk past and i find it hard to gauge what he is thinking when other dogs are involved. A lot of these signals are recognisable from this video, awesome help!
This is really helpful. I've been trying to learn more about dog behaviors as I have a 3 legged rescue with anxiety that struggles with socializing.
Akita tongue lick is definitely a sign of stress. That toddler is lucky.
My heart was racing when I saw the Akita go near the child
I hope the father of that baby girl asked permission before approaching him with her. I’m not sure I would do what that dad is doing….just letting a tiny child be around that many dogs he doesn’t know
That dad is tempting fate... what are the chances that his baby can defend herself against a dog attack? NONE... ZERO.
Tongue licking in that way is a sign of stress in any dog
A sign of a truly well trained dog - biting a significantly smaller human at the smallest of inconveniences. "That toddler is lucky" Apparently that Akita is too, then. Dogs that kill kids get put down.
The sky is cloudless and the sun is shining bright to show dominance.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha yes he is quoting all moves like if everything has something to do with submission and domination bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha
love to see a pack of well behaved dogs, keep up the good work!
No matter if it's calm day or not a toddler should not be in there. It may be different in your country, but we have strict dog responsibility in my country. Any kind of accident you will be held accountable for even if you shouldn't.
This was such an informative way to learn about dog behavior.
We rescued a female Belgian Malinoi who loved children, even in her old age. Never once growled or showed teeth even when kids were at their most boisterous-she would just move away. Miss you every day Greta.
This was so interesting, I love the language of dogs. They communicate and understand so much more than we realise. I had a small dog years ago who loved and got on will everyone, human and canine. His best friend at school was a Rottweiler,. The only dog he ever backed away from was an Akita, the other dog did nothing, just looked at my pup who literally backed away. There is something about them that oozes power.
The language is being over-interpreted imo. Most dogs are not just one thing, ie dominant or submissive, especially with dogs with whom they are friendly and familiar. particular behaviors are, of course. but it doesn't mean it will continue as such, the next day, or even the next 15 minutes. I have a pit, who reacts different ways to different dogs and different ways to the same dog that she has a very familiar relationship. Dogs intuit that other dogs will NOT play iterative games with them if they insist on always dominating. her best friend is a French bulldog and she dominates her, but she often allows herself to be submissive...so that she keeps her friend. A dog always forced to submit will go on to the next dog. But I think fundamentally, their language is situational. and most well adjusted dogs figure it out very quickly. and thats why we love them.
Akita’s are great got mine when I was 13 he was 6 months old. Had him until 2017 the best dog I ever had and got along great with kids and other dogs .. never had a problem.. kids used him as a pillow lol
@@amberdunn8788 I’m glad you had the chance to share some of your life with such a beautiful animal, I feel very privileged to have known all the dogs in my life. Currently have a couple of daft spaniels snuggling up next to me.
With other dogs: “I’m better than you”
With baby: “I will die for you”
4:23 human raises beverage to mouth as a sign he is thirsty and to show dominance
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha yes he is quoting each move like that bwhahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah
