I'm SO happy to see that you've transformed and saved this beautiful male Ovcharka! A knowledgeable confident owner makes ALL the difference! Thank you for the update, you've made my day! 🤗
I had the same dog. The best dog I ever had. Never needed a leash anywhere. She never left my side and I hardly needed to give her any commands. She always did the right thing on her own. No problems with other dogs or cats or people. We lived in a little village and everybody knew the dog and loved her.
Then you have pits and bullies... Which were bred to be completely out of control loaded guns. Not even ovcharkas or kangals are as problematic as they have been bred with an expendable purpose.
@@ZaBuZaMoMoChi86 That is literally not true about the APBT. Go read a book on their history and the fact you use the term bullies or bully breed shows your ignorance on the subject.
You have to treat them like your children, with love, and that sometimes means a little tough love, patience, understanding them as their own dog, protection, and respect. Beautiful baby boy.
Hi first time seeing your channel and I am extremely impressed. Clearly Kevin's life has been saved because of your training techniques. I have a lot of experience with G.S.D's and giant breeds so now I'm instantly hooked. I noticed Kevin was stiff in his back legs. He still has a lot of growing to do a our big guys frequently experience literal growing pains in their joints and tendons. The large bones in their legs (especially on a good diet)grow faster than the cartilage and connective tissue can keep up. A few days of kennel rest can help but I highly recommend taking to your vet about time Kevin may need medication along the way. Kevin has another 6mo's to a year before fully grown and keeping an eye out for joint issues now will help delay arthritis in the future. If only the same could be done with German Shepherds hips the world would be a better place. Thanks again for saving Kevin and we need more people to pay attention to what you're doing. Keep up the good work
I'm a long time GSD owner and I think you're referring to Panosteitis? Only one of my GSDs had it, and she was in the ER at midnight. Jumped from one leg into three, but she outgrew it at 18 months. Sooo important to feed properly. Both my GSD girls had IVDD, one inoperable, the other had spinal surgery at age 6. Fortunately was a poster child for recovery.
@@thepupmommy I was thinking Kevin possibly had Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy aka HOD, that is very similar to Panosteitis, both have almost identical signs n symptoms. As for what I said about German Shepherds was oversimplified. Along the lines of I wish a healthy diet alone would prevent dreaded hip dysplasia. IVDD is another scary all too familiar issue we GSD lovers have to face too frequently. I am glad to hear your girl recovered well. I know people have different breeds as favorites and I say they've never had a German Shepherd the absolute best dogs. After my last one past about 10yrs ago I said I would never go through that heartache again. Then a few years later my daughter wanted another dog, we found an Standard American Eskimo Dog from a rescue. Supposedly a very intelligent breed, well let me tell you not very smart compared to a GSD...nope not at all. Now for the first time in years I am seriously considering getting another because after all anyone who's ever looked into the eyes of their Shepherd know they hands down the very best dogs of all. *The Shepherd looking back intuitively knows exactly what you want and need w/out saying anything. Guard, fetch, walk, or full on goofball they just know.
THAT'S A BIG DOG!!! you've joined the Giant Breed Club...just smile and agree, or look at the dog, say "OMG you're RIGHT!!! and look at them astonished. Then smile again. We Wolfhound owners get: "do you have a saddle? , are they mean?, how much do they eat"? Loving watching his progress under your wonderful care and training.
I know there are a lot of top-notch canine trainers, but from what I've seen observed and highly enjoying is you Mr. Othman. Without a doubt you have fulfilled the dream that I have always wanted since a little boy but never quite getting to that level due to not having another German Shepherd. At my age at the present able to acquire equality pedigree like your puppies I would give one hundred percent involvement. Without a doubt you are truly inspirational, inspiring and encouraging, Simply ONE OF THE BEST 👍👍👍. THANK YOU FOR SHARING A PORTION OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING EXPERIENCE, 👍👍😇
He was so good....im so glad his previous owners came to u as it would of been a tragedy to have them have to put him to sleep. That dog is a big responsibility for anyone and thankfully you are unique in your craft. 😊 happy days.
Weren't the "previous" owners so incompetent that they didn't even train him? Like another "rich immigree" who bought a Tibetan Mastif for the house. He attacked a friend of mine. The owner's 'girlfriend" said she couldn't control him - training?? what training? Huh?.............................
I remember seeing Kevin when I dropped off my dog for boarding and although he was nervous, I can see the obedient, good boy that he is now, thanks to your training.
I'm so happy to see all the progress you've done with Kevin!! I do hope people realize that certain breeds are not for 1st time owners. As a Ovcharka owner myself and working with dogs too, I'm also stopped constantly by people asking what is it❤ beautiful Kevin! And great job with him!!
My 8 mo female ovcharka is so amazing!! So smart and learning so fast!! And so sweet!! A little more aggressive on announcing visitors than I'm used to. But she's learning she just has to let me know, a loud clap and a whoop whoop from me and she comes running back for good job loves! Her 20 acres are her home and domain!
A really nice Ovcharca. He listens very good. The heat is to much for him. I now because I own a Ovcharca from Bulgaria. Give him a good home. An Ovcharca is not for everyone.😊❤
Yes. For sure, this dog is NOT for ANY one. Heat? Cruel. Shock collar ? well, since the other idiot owners didn't train him they had to resort to SHOCK - electric shock - even hospitals don't do that anymore on mentally ill patients.
Beautiful work, a guy near me has one which is a loose cannon. He takes walks at strange times to avoid people , when me and the off leash Mal see him we do a quick 180 that's not a battle we can win. The dog is basically like Kev when you got him but fully grown.
@@dashriprock2322 There's one up the road from me (I'm in Italy). It's older, intact and thinks it's the king of the area. Bit disheveled and the owners are dicks who just let him roam loose on the land which i get to a degree but know where your fucking dog is please lol. The dog came on my land once (snuck through my gates when they were open) and it took my big male Cane Corso giving him an ass whoopin' to make the dog realize those gates aren't his to go through. Hasn't come back since.
That is what an Ovcharka does. They basically do their job, interact with their owners minimally and live outside basically the whole year round. They're completely independent. They're perfect dogs for that. Everything else takes work and dedication.
Shield K9 Dog Training, Thank you very, very, very much for uploading this video! Hats off to your achievement! Having your skills or the money to pay you would eliminate the most important hindrance to having an Alabai: controlling him in a modern, urban setting. I Hope you upload a video when he is fully grown (I am very curious how he will behave when he is fully grown and the characteristics of this breed are fully developed). Thank you very much again!
Hey my name is also Kevin 😅 The similarity is there, as a 6ft4 240lbs big dude I can relate to Kevin, when it gets hot outside I'm also a little sluggish and rather lay down and just chill. He's a beautiful dog !
Its been a joy watching Kevin's transformation. Now I just need to read your book and start tranforming my 2 obnoxious little brats. Awesome job!!! Even without a clicker 😆 🤣
Yep I noticed that too. His pelvis, lumbosacral area, hip joint, and left stifle aren't articulating as they should in walk gait. The hot spot is likely where Kevin has been trying to address the underlying musculoskeletal issue: compression pressure application from lying bodyweight on area, chewing, biting, licking. A skilled canine chiropractor and or canine massage therapist can help @shieldk9
Impressive. I held my breath for a second when that one guy stopped in front of him at the end of the trip while Kevin was off leash. Hope he finds a home that is as safe as yours for him.
Absolutely amazing transformation. He no longer has to be defensive and worried because he has a leader that has shown him respect and what the rules are. He trusts that you are not going to put him in a position where he has to fight
Awesome to see Kevin behave so well out in the city, even though I'm sure that nasty ole hotspot doesn't feel too good! You made a great point that I'd never really thought about, in that my dog also when in an urban environment, tends to be less reactive/curious/whatever than when we go walking on a nature trail. In the city we'll go right past or through a group of 5+ people and he'll just stroll right past them. On a nature walk though, he's definitely much more interested in the individual folks we pass on the trails...guess I assumed it was due to it being easier to focus on one person versus a large group.
Loving this stuff with Kevin. I have a Central Asian Shepherd that's 4 1/2 months and there's a lot that goes into them. Kevin is awesome and is doing g so good, love the training info.
I love my CO, she's great in public and with people it's when they come to our home that her demeanor changes. She will protect our home and us at all costs and that has made it difficult for having strangers over. We lock her up when strangers come over. It's not that she isn't socialized she is it's our home and her need to gaurd our home.
I read that these dogs are livestock guarding dogs, how would you control one in public if they were to sense a threat? My family in Macedonia owns acres of farmland and despite that I would never consider getting this dog
BTW, "Ovcharka" literally means some type of canine shepherd, in Russian. So, a German shepherd, is Nemezkaya ovcharka, Caucasian shepherd is Kavkazskaya ovcharka, etc. So, just saying taking my Ovcharka, is like saying "taking my shepherd", w/o specifying what type. Just an FYI, in case you were not aware.
@@andreidelchev3326 Ovcharka is really the name the Russians tagged on to so many big mastiff Livestock Guardian Breeds. The Caucasian Shepherd should probably be better called the Georgian Shepherd which is where this variety originated from.
We had an Ovcharka. She was TERRIFYING. We had 2 professional trainers in, no one could control her. She pinned our friend against the wall and almist bit my face. We eventually had to surrender her. Be careful folks. PS i have had Pyrenees and other giant breeds. Totally famikiar with them.
In love with your channel and Kevin, I used to work exclusively with flock guards. Kevin's movement is a little stiff, especially in the rear. I can see where the hotspot you mentioned is but maybe also dealing with a little panosteitis? Really common which I'm sure you know but could explain the stiffness and the pacing gait.
The Shock Collar. The answer to all your dog training issues!!!! Walk'em on that hot pavement....the dog will do everything you command. I know a woman who didn't stop at just the shock collar - her GSD wears a prong AND a shock. I watched her use the shock collar one day - her 3 yr old dog yelped SO LOUD I though he was being skinned. Congratulations on your excellent influence
For Kevin's hot spots, have you tried Green Tea Leaf Tree oil? I had a Jack Russel that had HORRIBLE hot spots and that fixed them almost overnight. I was recommended it by a Rottweiler breeder.
Kevin was perfect. No need to stress him. I took my 6 month old st Bernard to the city for the first time today to start socializing him. Hes about 100 lbs. Hes starting to get some strength.He was great.he was a little interested in the ducks on the creek that runs through downtown but nothing crazy. He definitely does not have the prey drive that my lab did. He was perfect today too
I have a great pyrenees and when you said "three commands every time Kevin" I was laughing. I think they move so slow you get three commands out before he finishes the movement for the command. lol
Man, I do like the way you think! Your understanding of him spokes of your love for dogs. He doesn’t have a behaviour problem, he’s a Caucasian Ovcharka and just needed a firm owner who stopped with the stupid positive training. I hope he’s not sick, being lazy and a bit down under hot weather is perfectly normal. But when rehoming Kevin, please remember he will change around 18 months or later. He will try to act out and he will need someone with a nice frying pan in hand. People in his origin countries don’t have e-collars, old ladies who do own the breed have frying pans. 😂😂😂
My grandpa had one of these but smaller female… even thoug we expected the outcome it still was impressive seeing her deal with a horde of about 10 stray dogs 😂 .. the moment the chain unlocked the hierarchy was established very quickly. No fight but pure submission. They knew who is boss.
Would be amazing if you keep him + get him some sheep he can guard. Unless you find the perfect place for him. it's always fun to c kevins reaction when you place him in a down. he is like YES Finally.. then the recall comes and the reaction is omfg this guy... let me stay here..
How long was Kevin walking in that heat? I have Newfoundlands and that walk was in the sun with NO water, which my Newf would struggle with. I always take water on walks too. Yes his behaviour was very good but that was one very hot boy.
I would love to have him. I have 5 acres 42/43 Nigerian goats. I live in New Mexico. I have other dogs but no one I trust with my prize goats He’s a big teddy bear you did a great job on him
My Ovcharka loved basically everyone :p i could take him everywhere. as long as you socialize them they are super easy and friendly. always loose leash :) go Kevin! ;)
I'm SO happy to see that you've transformed and saved this beautiful male Ovcharka! A knowledgeable confident owner makes ALL the difference! Thank you for the update, you've made my day! 🤗
Nah, good training does.
@@anthonybernstein1626 Agreed. That's why I said knowledgeable. I had training while raising my male Ovcharka.

Nope. He thinks he’s bigger than Kevin.
Wow, he's beautiful and he did behave well. 😊
Seems like he's got some stiffness in that left hind leg that's bugging him a bit.
Yep I noticed that too. His pelvis, lumbosacral area, hip joint, and left stifle aren't articulating as they should in walk gait.

"You have to like em back, that's the rule"❤😂
Wow, what an amazing transformation! Great job haz and Kevin 😭
Absolutely love him, always said when I have a big enough house and garden I'm getting an Ovchaka
Beautiful puppy ❤
Ovcharka are such beautiful beings. So floofy!
HOW GORGEOUS 🥰🐕 IS HE.
Kevin is a beautiful dog!🦋
I have a great pyrenees and when you said "three commands every time Kevin" I was laughing. I think they move so slow you get three commands out before he finishes the movement for the command. lol
Man, I do like the way you think! Your understanding of him spokes of your love for dogs. He doesn’t have a behaviour problem, he’s a Caucasian Ovcharka and just needed a firm owner who stopped with the stupid positive training. I hope he’s not sick, being lazy and a bit down under hot weather is perfectly normal. But when rehoming Kevin, please remember he will change around 18 months or later. He will try to act out and he will need someone with a nice frying pan in hand. People in his origin countries don’t have e-collars, old ladies who do own the breed have frying pans. 😂😂😂
Hello my friend where are you from?

@@hilario6128 Nice place I live in Oklahoma City but I’m currently working here in Syria
@@hilario6128 How’s everything going over there in Europe ?
Great job. I had one of them. Best dog I ever had. Want another.
My grandpa had one of these but smaller female… even thoug we expected the outcome it still was impressive seeing her deal with a horde of about 10 stray dogs 😂 .. the moment the chain unlocked the hierarchy was established very quickly. No fight but pure submission. They knew who is boss.
Would be amazing if you keep him + get him some sheep he can guard. Unless you find the perfect place for him.
it's always fun to c kevins reaction when you place him in a down. he is like YES Finally.. then the recall comes and the reaction is omfg this guy... let me stay here..
omg , YOUR LAUGH IS SOMETHING ELSE , IN A GOOD WAY
Thank you for your great videos and your great book!
How long was Kevin walking in that heat? I have Newfoundlands and that walk was in the sun with NO water, which my Newf would struggle with. I always take water on walks too. Yes his behaviour was very good but that was one very hot boy.
I would love to have him. I have 5 acres 42/43 Nigerian goats. I live in New Mexico. I have other dogs but no one I trust with my prize goats He’s a big teddy bear you did a great job on him
My Ovcharka loved basically everyone :p i could take him everywhere. as long as you socialize them they are super easy and friendly. always loose leash :)
go Kevin! ;)
