Aggressive German Shepherd Puppy Training

- Understanding the difference between aggression and reactivity is a tricky thing. Often times people will mis-interpret these behaviors and not approach the training properly. The number one training method you want to apply will be structure & obedience. We want to always show the dog what we want, we want to avoid a tight leash and we strive to get our dog to be as "dog neutral" as possible.
Check out the full 40+ minute lesson of this video at:

Puppies are almost always under-socilaied and react this way. This is the first part of our training, lesson 1. In upcoming lessons you'll see further updates, but giving the dog this information early on sets the structure into the pups mind.

Here's an update on Sonny's behavior after Ben worked with him consistently. pretty Damn Impressive @sonny&smokinjoe th-cam.com/users/shortsChpi4Pu2khQ
This is Sonny’s owner. It’s hard to find anyone doing anything with as much passion and mastery as Robert. I worked with two trainers prior to connecting with him, and both were super nice and encouraging, but lacked experience with a high drive puppy like Sonny. So it gave me hope to see Robert handle him in an effective and fair way and make it look like easy work. Sonny and I have been making good progress. Thank you to those who posted the kind comments.
What a beautiful confident pup you have :)
Did he become better with dogs?
@@activedogzz100 still work to do but much better, here’s a week or so ago: th-cam.com/users/shortsChpi4Pu2khQ?feature=share
I can't seem to find the video you posted with SOnny's progress. Can you repost or email it to me so I can post it!
@@RobertCabralDogs Here’s a new link, different type than the first. If it doesn’t work I’ll email the file:

Whoever lives near Robert is lucky. In Norway we don't have good trainers, yes we do have ton of trainers but there is different between a trainer and a good trainer. :)
Thank you, learnt a lot.
Everything you talk about is such valuable information. Thank you so much Robert! And thank you to all your clients who share their experience.
Very good video showing how to deal with a hyperactive/eager puppy/dog. Problem is though that when out in the world meeting people, it's often within few seconds that they have their dog up in ur dogs face- opposed to these coworkers/friends with dogs. I try my best to spot people from a far and have them wait, but thats more with reactivity when going to meet the dog. A lot of ppl have been nice and waiting in that sense. So I guess an extra point to put here is that you need to be very observant when walking, as not everyone will be as cooperative in how your training your dog.
This is great to see realistic dog training! Also nice to see Janet and Jimmy taking part!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never thought of "play behavior" as "predatory behavior", but makes perfect sense! Nothing wrong with "playing", as long as it's controlled & under handler's observation & permission. This is an EXCELLENT video-- this is a GSD at a "turning point", puppy can either learn controlled behavior, controlled "play" with permission with dogs that owner/handler doesn't mind him playing with (family & friend's well behaved dogs), or ESCALATION. Bravo, Robert!!
@@ivanhacks Thanks for chiming in, Ivan Balanov.....🤣🐕🦺🤣
@@ivanhacks Whoaaaa. Big statement there😉. How many National Championships have you won, lol? Sign me up for your next seminar!!🤣🤪
@@ivanhacks Hahaha!!
Such a great session!
Great video, very helpful for my 5 month old GSD puppy who is leash training with me in neighborhood now, with an air horn😀!
Thank you, Sir!
Great info Robert !! Good explanations too !!... So many people don't realize how a tight leash causes problems! Always give slack..before any correction!! I see so many dogs on prongs pulling at the end of a leash.....defeats the whole purpose!! ..Nice puppy !!
You inspire me..I follow a similar system...thank you Sir
great vid, great client too!
Great vid Rob. I have a high prey driven Bull Terrier Wheaten pup and I’m trying to get his testosterone in check he’s about to hit 1 years of age in a few months. Great presentation.
I need to take some notes , i love learning about animal behavior and body language
Great stuff
This is a cool video. Hope you can do more of them like this. Actual hands on. I just can’t seem to get my dog to stop reacting to dogs.
Awesome video. Very helpful! Would say this dog is more a frustrated greeter than aggressive.
He is young! Curious.
Great video. So helpful that you show all of it, despite of some people probably disliking portions of it. Saw the rest at the member section, absolutely worth watching.
In your mind Robert, do you believe that there are some typical main reasons to this kind of reactivity/high drive behaviour? Genes, environment etc? There are probably a mix of variables but would be interesting to hear if you have seen any repeating patterns over the years.
My vote is on genetics.
This what I need to learn. My 6 month puppy barks at all the dogs when I take her for a walk and can’t snap her out of it. I didn’t want to take her out anymore. So I need a longer leash as well. Thank you so much
@@saarlooswolfhund6237 I disagree ! People can learn valuable information from watching GOOD trainers on utube !! Your negative comment doesn't help !!
Reward, not lure. I so wish the PP brigade would learn that. Awesome video, as always.
👊🏽
Great points made here. Thank you all : )
Thanks Laura
That’s why I have your membership
need to work on my ability to remain calm when trying to handle my pitbull/boxer's obedieance. she has tons of leash reactivity and can be inconsistent with obedience as she just turned 1 year i know she won't be perfect but im my frustration boils over which isn't effective. i need to go with the flow and give a proper reaction to my dogs actions without becoming overly emotional. a lot of this is a mental game once you understand the basics. this dog teaches me more about what i need to work on as a person each day.
i have a 3 1/2 mo male and all the male pups out of this litter are extra aggresive i have the runt i love him a lot but he is a velociraptor i know hes teething so i know that hurts him a bit but he hates to be told no to the point of snapping and biting hes real smart and i know he can learn its just the only things im good at training is horses so i just stumbled across this vid and love the way you do things so thanks on the correction technique ill put it to use..ps new sub
that was a damn long sentence
Genuinely asking to learn, why is the martingale collar being used and not the prong collar for corrections? Thank you! You’re one of my fave trainers. I watched all your puppy videos and trained my Malinois since she was 8 weeks old and she gets compliments all the time about how well behaved she is at 2.5 years old!
How does this stop him from biting us
Great idea with a leash and when the dog jumps up. I have a dog that continues to jump up on people no matter what I do. I am crateing her when people come over.. But may be a long leash and stepping on it would be the right decision what do you think ?..inside the house?
If/when Robert responds, he'll probably agree. He'll probably also recommend a short leash inside the house-- 12-18" long, for this purpose (inside the house)! 😊
I would note though that behavior inside the house (or not the dog's territory) can be different inside or near the house (or dog's territory).
I saw this video from the same channel just before this video on the topic of jumping I hope it can be helpful.

My healer /shepherd mix puppy has had puppy training and understands commands, but the other day he got very aggressive with me. My husband had been out of town for two weeks and I had two perfect weeks with him taking him for walks etc. with little biting or aggression towards me. Then my husband came home. I was throwing the ball in the backyard with him and he was playing and then came up and started biting at me jumping on me biting not breaking skin, but it was aggressive and hurt(!) and I feel that I might might have done the wrong thing by grabbing his collar and his ear and putting him on the ground to have him submit but he overpowered me and did that behavior again with me. I got them on the ground again and he was in my estimation angry with me and I was so scared I ran inside until he calm down. I don’t know how to fix this. He’s a very smart dog and my husband is his person, I’m not apparently this breed picks their person. I’d like to fix this any ideas or suggestions please thankth-cam.com/video/FYmMgOdfWD4/w-d-xo.html you so much for everything you do. You’re amazing.
Why is the prong collar disconnected?
You could ask the Force Free folks to show their stuff not working. It’d be entertaining.
😆
Curious on your comment about if sonny runs up to another dog that does not like it and attacks him and he'll be a horrible dog for the rest of his life. My GSD was attacked by a pack of dogs 2 years ago (she was 15months at the time) and has been reactive to dogs every since. I've been to two trainers, are you telling me there is no hope ? She's great with Every Other distraction. TIA Jim
I'll address this in a video. its a tough battle. obviously you can see now why I made my comment. you'll need to build a wold of confidence in your pup. it can be done. keep at it!
@@RobertCabralDogs I really appreciate you responding and for all of your content. I've learned a lot from you and our life, my GSD Bella, me and everyone who interacts with us is better for it.
@@vtjp4ever same thing has happened to my GSD and I....and it keeps happening so we don't go many places now unless I KNOW others will have their dog's leashed.
The other shepherd what kind his he GSD or Tervuren
He is a malinois.
My German Shepard pup has a habit of trying to bite… even when we play “rough” he will try snapping at my legs if he can’t get a hand 😂 seems playful but it does hurt
Did they grow out of it, or did you have to train a solution, or combination? My 18 wk GS is mouthy still too, he has a habit of flashing teeth and turning his head to bite very frequently..he doesn’t bite, or bite hard, I just really think it’s something I can’t ignore..
Maybe I missed it in the video, but I’m curious to know how old that puppy is.
5 months
@@RobertCabralDogs thanks!
I got a couple questions:
1. How long of leash do you recommend for this?
2. Will this hurt the dog’s neck? I think you might be using a martingale?
Sir how should i stop my gsd leash reactivity toward dogs and pulling on Leash ?? PLS TELL
SIR WHICH LEASH SHOULD WE USE FOR PULLING AND REACTIVITY LIKE WE SHOULD USE SLIP LEASH OR CHOKE COLLAR OR SOMETHING ELSE PLEASE TELL???
What kind of dog do you have?
I'll try to help you.
I would recommend a Herm Sprenger prong collar...2.5. Size with extra links.
Suppose to wear up high on the neck..
Robert Cabral has a video on the prong collar.
Your dog is reactive because your not in charge.no little or no structure.
We need to get you dog walking at your side in a heel.
Not out front!
Out front your dog feels he must make the decisions. On who to bark at,where he wants to go etc.
Your in charge of when,where and at what pace your dog is allowed to go...
The leash with a prong collar is your structure machine.
We use it for walking,training and positive corrections.
Questions?

Robert says in another video, "don´t do a sit after a recal" but does the opposite here.
Different situation.
The dog already learned a sit. And is so jumpy and reactive that it is I think good to give a sit command to switch the dog a bit off. Besides he was jumping on Robert which he needed to correct from the sit position bij stepping on the leash and keeping it short so the dog can not jump on him. Learn to read the dog, every dog is different and might need a different approach. That is how I see it. It is not an exact sience where everything is formulated and always works according to those formulas. Every dog is different.
@@RobertCabralDogs Thanks.
Am I 3rd
🤔
It’s funny though, whenever he corrects the owner, they have no idea what he is talking about. They fail. Why do they want a dog? Or a big dog?
Made a comment on Facebook about banning pets you put up. I’m in jail for 29 days
You get social media in jail?
@@RobertCabralDogs off Facebook for 29 days.no not in jail. We just call it that. Was very angry about the banning
I did not like how the correction at 0:14 was given.
pretty sure he knows more than you about handling dogs mate
@@mihaiserban5746 Most certainly, but that doesn't mean that everything he does is always correct, does it?
I like this trainer,he is better than many that I see on line.but some of the analizations of the 5 month old dominate pup are a little off!
His direction about the loose leash are smart! But the pup needs socialization first, and a firm obedience coarse!! ( Requesting ) positions like ,come sit ECT. Without the pup understanding that it has no choice but to obey are really useless in establishing real control? Giveing treats are bringing the dog? The pup needs clear direction before the correction! He need to be put in a muzzle and allowed to interact with a more dominant male also in a muzzle, to teach it some clear understanding of his offensive behavior! The pup is in an adolescent stage , in the middle of his drive maturing .( Maturing from PLAY DRIVE TO PREY DRIVE! And wanting to astablish his dominance over any would be challenger! To much coddleing of the pup with its leash, if which he keep controlling with its feet! The handlers are catering to the dog who is purposely grabbing the leash with its feet and body! There has been no negative stimulus or consequences from the handlers for that behavior by the pup? When people want to nuter a male dominant dog, they are trying to fix a aggressive behavior from the wrong end? The biteing happen at the other end , which is still in tact!! And also sometimes the K -9' s which are the tools causing the problems. The other end has the love tools? .But over all ... Good distraction or rewards with the treats! I would prefer to use boogie dog to discurage that unwanted behavior that the pup displays. Because of the lack of clarity from the the human surrogate pack members.Who couldn't recognise appreciate measure earlier on with that pup
The treats are bringing the dog or mistaken by them as rewards for the behavior that perhaps it associated with the nagative behavior?
So itreats are just temporary unclear bribes? And not clear as why it's getting treats? It's sitting or begging for the treats and has not really connected the position with the command and reward for assuming this!
I would like to see the progression of this pup at some point if possible?
My bulldog is certainly male dog aggressive on the leash I appreciate the content but normal joe,s haven’t got spare dogs people to go through the motions people have to get to work not spend the day correcting the chosen few 90% of dogs are back yard bred so I can’t agree totally with bad breeding u put the best bread dog in a sewer it will end up smelling whatever the breed If you have the pleasure of being a dog guardian as a respectful human being you should give your canine every chance to thrive
He looks like he would love to get off of that leash and play. Maybe run and be a dog. So many puppies (and dogs) are so frustrated because they never get to be a natural dog without human interference. How about letting this puppy play with other dogs and learn to socialize. Maybe he could have some fun and get a good energy burn before being tethered to a human by the neck.
But not all dogs will want to play with him (like Jimmy). He also needs to know how to be calm around other dogs and it's not always play play play. I don't know this dog but sometimes the frustration doesn't necessarily means he never gets to interact with other dogs.
