Ok! Just found you!
I LOVE this video! Thank you so much for posting raw unedited footage. Its super helpful for other dog trainers to figure out how to deal with difficult dogs like this. Please don't stop posting videos like this!
How do you deal with neurotic dogs? I’ve got a more neurotic puppy everyone recommends euthanizing. Thank.
Oh my gosh! This is my dog! We are at our wits end.
First sign of a good dog trainer - they have all their fingers.
🤣yes!
Or it's a sign of a dog trainer with cat like reflexes
@@jamesporter6288 It's almost a must when training a dominant/aggressive lol
Unfortunately he only has 1 testicle! 😂
@@jamesporter6288 yep 😂
His owner should be highly commended. Most people would have just given up and abandoned him. She stayed the course.
@Rusty Shackleford My understanding was that she adopted the dog and was actually the 3red owner. The other owners had given up and just returned the dog. Her efforts to find a solution rather than just returning the dog as the previous owners had done is what I based my comment on
Maybe I misunderstood some of the details
Rusty Shackleford yes Cesar Millan is not really an expert on dog behavior. He is just some guy who grew up poor with a lot of dogs around him. He deals with dogs, how another dog would deal with a dog, not as a human would. Dangerous and he probably has killed dogs before with his method.
@@pepesylvia9354 well it works and its better that he is abel to fix the dogs then that they are put down
@@pepesylvia9354 like bruhh. You cant think like a human when your training a dog
You're* just in case you are a grammar nazi
This dog is lucky as hell this lady is his owner. Almost any other owner would have gotten him put down! I'm glad Tom is able to calm him.
Yes especially a lady. He so strong he could take down most men and women
This is just bad genetics, the breeder should be ashamed. This dog has serious mental issues and should be put down or returned to the breeder. You can never get rid of aggressivness. You can manage it and be aware of what situations your dog shouldn't be in but this dog is a dog that will snap. It may be the owner or someone else but it's inevitable.
@@muffintop420did you say you should end the dogs life because of some problems they have?
Hab selten so einen Müll gesehen. Der Hund hat Charakter weil er sich von einer fremden Person nicht herumkommandieren lassen möchte.Deswegen ist es auch ein Schäferhund und kein Labrador.Das ist normales Verhalten.Er ist nur seinem Besitzer gegenüber loyal das liegt in seinen Genen .😂
@@muffintop420+1
I have a lot of respect for the dogs owner. She's a very brave woman. Instead if abandoning him or putting him down she got help and never gave up.
His owner, the lady, has big balls. And loyalty to keep trying to save him.
It looks like to dog has big ball, too. Perhaps remove those, sure he is pretty but that temperment does not need to be kept in the GSD gene pool. Calmed my big boy down just enough and he was a much happier 100 pound pooch.
Ovaries are as strong as balls ahem...

Lol maybe that’s what’s wrong with mine he’s not aggressive about stuff he does have resource guarding issues or something he’s kinda weird about it but he greatly enjoys ignoring me lol
What a wonderful dog owner. Instead of dumping her dog at a shelter where the outcomes aren’t often good, she decided to put in the work. Sometimes simple things like this are very moving.
No a wonderful dog owner would have been put his crazy ass to sleep instead of putting herself and others in jeopardy trying to prove some phantom point.
@@sunnybright8206 [ ...] "whould have been put his crazy ..." I don't know what you're trying to say. You know a person has mental health issues when they are screaming through their keyboard but the spelling and syntax is all wrong. Instead of getting angry try getting smarter. It's only to your benefit. Oh, and it likes it's own posts. That singular act is seven different types of pathetic simultaneously. Next time, fewer hits from the pipe before posting, OK Sunny whatev's?
And I liked that comment too 😉
It’s the dog owners fault the dog is like this so dam right she better fix what she did. From the very beginning I establish alpha in my house never had a dog with aggression issues
This dog would not have made it out of a shelter, a lot of shelters wouldn’t even take in a dog this aggressive let alone let them leave the shelter alive. I’m glad she took the time and spent the money to get training, and it may not be her fault GSDs are prone to human aggression due to genetics. Good for her for committing to the dog she brought into her home a lot of people would not have kept handling this dog
How is such a young man so wise?
Getting control in such a small space of time is amazing!
Of course he'll have control with a pole. What could the dog possibly do?
@@savannah206 Yes he obviously uses tools but if someone was to misuse those tools they could do irreparable damage. He obviously knows what he is doing.
Some individuals are gifted with the connection to dogs. He also has no ego, a lot of trainers do.
@@Mtree40Theres no human being without ego.
@@gamer-px5cu As a dog trainer the first thing I learned was to throw my ego out the window, there can't be ego when working with dogs. I'm also an mma fighter with a huge ego😂 but not when it comes to working my dogs

but yo, same.
He talks to much!
I've never had a dog, but always watch these vids. Fascinated by dog behaviour.
ِsbe22 ِ me either.
i’m a dog trainer and groomer so i can say that this behavior could have been addressed sooner, but there are far to many people bashing the owner or saying she shouldn’t have the dog. you have no idea what his story is, where she got him, how he ended up with her with that behavior, etc. just let both the dog and the owner learn.
Amen
He said is a LOADED GUN!!! I used to work in dog world extensively and it has s super rare to meet a dog of this caliber!!! He may have had a few owners or maybe he lives out in the country or maybe he was trained to be this way! We don’t know his history but I’m glad he is getting a second chance even if it’s his first!🐾🐕🦺🐾
bullshit the owners fault 100% ffs. they allowed this kinda behavior. either you can handle big dogs or you cant.
@@sirbonobo3907 Arrogant attitude!
@@serchicrams6273 he acts like the shepherd dogs out in the middle east
I like how he’s talking the owner through each step so they don’t feel worried or stressed as well
A very emotional video. The most striking feature is your compassion with this dog. You speak of 'battle' but even during the struggle, your compassion shines through.
I love when the dog gets that "oh, crap... this isn't working" moment.
*deep long growl* Then sits down patiently
@dfctomm That's because most humans are seriously mentally ill... Any healthy, sane animal (humans included) should be able to recognize body language signs and communicate using those cues in combination with speech or vocals. Half of the people you see outside are fucking mental.
On the other hand, I have yet to meet a dog or other animal who is truly insane.
Great example of a wagging tail not always meaning happiness!
Fiona Newport Wagging is a sign of excitability. In this case not good lol
@@myfavsandlikes7478 exactly. It's excitement, not happiness
Some dogs are excited to battle, just like a mma fighter or a football team.
@@kaleckton right on.
Its all about the ears and not the tail. Whether they're straight up, down etc is a better indication rather than the tail
I love the action at about 12:30. The dog is doing his best Death Growl, working it, working it. Getting nothing. And then he suddenly decides to give up and save face by pretending he heard something from way over there.
The moment of true breakthrough
Save face🤣 his keeping him with this stick... if his bare handed and dogs free it will be fast finish😂😂
Dog was not scared trainer surely was. Lol
The dog finally realized the handler was not going to stand his ground. So he gave in to the pressure of the trainer.
That’s the beauty of this type of training.
@@1packatak NOT going to stand his ground?
I swear my neighbor needs to watch this.. He's got a husky pup running wild in the neighborhood.
Has it attacked anyone
People get certain breeds because they're "trendy" without looking into what the breed needs. My friend had 2 huskies she walked them 3 miles in the morning, 3 miles at lunchtime and 6 miles in the evening and that was during the week at the weekend she took them hiking up mountains of which there are plenty ty here in Scotland and they still weren't tired out. If you do t walk them they literally go mad. They're a breed that should not be kept in an apartment they need space and so much exercise.
This German shepherd needs to go on beyond scared straight
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And instead of inmates, he meets with police dogs 😂😂
Lmao
@@jadecherry7224 LOL
Ikr😂
I train horses and he’s using a pressure and release situation. The pressure (his close presence) is added when he growls. When he stops the pressure is taken off (he steps away). It teaches the dog that when he’s calm he gets a release of pressure meaning in the future it teaches him to be calm quickly to get the release he wants. first video I’ve seen from this guy and he’s got good methods!
Edit: Holy sh*t that’s a lot of likes thank you❤️
I train horses too and your quite right, it’s the same sort of method...the pressure releases when their pressure releases, your own energy given is also very important when educating, calm yet assertive ❤️
Yes
Bro I have a mare and 2 geldings, and I was thinking the same thing.
Great observation! I work with horses as well and trained my thoroughbred from 2 years old. I saw that too! I have found a lot of similarities in training dog's vs horse's. I found that strange at first because one is a predator and the other is prey, but a lot of the methods used with horses, seem to transfer brilliantly to dog's.💁
Your completely right
For those comparing this to horse training, also notice the use of the catch pole and working the dog in circles.
This is why horse trainers usually are excellent dog trainers! They read the animal and work what they have.
As a retired Animal Control Officer i have to say well done with the use of a catch pole
Dog: Woof woof rawr
Trainer:
Trainer: good boi
Dog: wtf bro
LMAO
Hahaha!!
his tone is calming
He says good boy after he stops growling.
Clearly never trained a dog before. He only says it when the dog stops and behaves and does what he wants, obviously.
It's frightening to watch something with so much aggression stare you down with such extreme focus.

I think maybe
On instagram
I really like how you put this type of aggression in context, breaking it down into basic constituents to be dealt with systematically. You've given me some great talking points I can use with my clients, as I don't seem to be able to relate well to them as well as you do. Thanks for the much needed conversation on managing triggers, and vacillating pressure thus, giving him an opportunity to regroup and make real decisions, rather than acting out viscerally.
I rescued an aggressive doberman who would lunge for anyone who came near him.
I walked him/jogged with him for 2 hours everyday. He was knackered by the end of that. Then I'd take him to the busy town centre, muzzle him and walk him all the way to the top of the high street and back again. He was too knackered to care about all the people walking past him. It didn't take long for us to be able to do it without the muzzle.
Knackering him out was also a great way to help socialise him with other dogs aswell.
Within a year he was such a different dog - well behaved, calm, friendly and wasn't lunging at everyone.
He had the most beautiful temperament which due to the original owner was not seen.
Its sad when you think about it - because my dobe felt he was higher in pack than his original owner, he was nervous and felt he constantly had to protect himself and his owner. I taught my dobe that I would protect him so he didn't have to.
Best dog I ever had ❤❤❤
Exactly! Even this dog was happier once he knew the guy was leading.
Exactly, a tired dog = a good dog.
I rescued a Indian Spitz and he had the same problem he would be aggressive towards anyone who was near him, its been six months since i had him. Now with constant training he doesn't attack anyone but he still is aggressive towards other dogs. But i know he will get over this problem as well. any suggestions for me on how to overcome his aggressive behavior towards other dogs.
@@infomatters. I can only suggest giving him loads of exercise before taking him to socialise him with other dogs. Perhaps put a 20ft long lead on him whilst he's with the other dogs - this worked for some of my dogs as they didnt feel the need to protect me as I wasn't in immediate range but if any fight ensued, I could still pull them away.
One of my rescue mastiffs I have now doesnt get on with any male dog's. He's perfect with females but he'll fight any male that comes near him. I just accept that that's how he is and manage the situation. He's Presa x Neapolitan so he's too big and strong for most dogs to take any chances with.
From what I've just read, your dog is a very intelligent breed. Knacker him out, put him on a long lead, take some treats to keep him interested in you then just give him a treat whenever you are near another dog. Make it a positive thing being near other dogs.
Good luck x
this guy says its the worst case hes ever...... been training 20 , 30 years i guess lol! this is the worst time for "new" people to get any kind of guard dog.... i was fortunate, in the early 90s to get a dobe from a breeder who was stationed in Germany for 10 years.... he married a German girl and brought back some fine dogs, started a kennel, and was often flying one his females over to be bred.... he had a few litters every year and would coax puppy buyers to stay in touch, and then every Sunday we trained them..... i sean a few dogs that could be fine with the breeder.... but the owner could never, be "boss"..... i got a couple real good dogs that way! some people should just own Labs.... This "trainer" would likly fail with a hard dog
“Good Boy 😊😊” **tries to rip face off**
Lol ikr right..when he tried to snap so fast..all he really needed was one ..grab ontop the nose area and one bop with finger down on the nose and tell him no..it shows she doesnt pay good attention to him when its just them..one time it happens hed stop that shiit but letting him chase her off..is exactly the wrong thing to do..
A very dominant dog, and with much anger... Must take an enormous amount of patience and consistency to train him.
The dog's expression at 10:45 when you tell him he's a good boy is priceless LOL.
Ah! Came here for the same comment 😆
😂😂😂😂
Without that muzzle on this would be a catastrophe...
Eri Haas good thing for human engineering .
Not sure the dog showed assertiveness not sure the dog showed a true willingness to act out, which to me is why the dog responded so quickly to the discipline, my pup while not aggressive has a disposition where he ignored my daughters instruction and is only now taking notice in small ways.
I think the best website on dog training is DogTrainingSeries.blogspot.com because I personally tried it and it really works… Recommended
@Chaos17 Bloody lmao you're kidding right? Cesar and his made up "red zone" cases. Read a book dude.
Cuz he doesn't know how to handle himself
Best suggestion he gave this lady is "You have to be careful with him, he's a loaded gun"... SO RIGHT! She isn't assertive enough for this dog and that dog is going to punk her when they're alone
100%.
@Agent Fungus
My rottie was like this and I was like nope, me and pops would nudge and restrain. When he growl, we would not back out because we can't afford to give him a inch because he will take a mile due to its clever ness.
@Agent Fungus
You do know rotties are service dogs which is more than gaurding.
They are popular for tracking and therapy
RIGHT.
@Agent Fungus truth!
I love the way you explained how temper the dog is and what kind of personality he has.
Well done brother. Staring down is crucial. Get them to look away. It's the moment of breakthrough oftentimes. These animals aren't meant for just anyone . They require a substantial more amount of time, training, exercise, attention, socializing etc
The dog is smart; he's got the lady trained very well 🤣 He will continue to manipulate her until he can't.
Well said.
the problem is that her dog is too big for her and asserted dominance over her. she should get some smaller dog. being scared of your own dog is a very bad thing and asking for trouble - such dog can maul you or even kill you. I have 2 big dogs - caucasian shepherds. one is 88kg another 93kg basically 3x the size of this dog and both are very dominant breed by nature. when they were puppies one of them started growling and barking at me. I told him to stop and he didn't. he challenged me so I put him in headlock, pinned him down with my weight and I was choking him until he surrendered. never had that problem with him again. if I didn't address that issue back then I would be in big trouble now.
Your sort of negative based training method has long since been abandoned by reputable trainers.
@@cbcdesign001 you question my training method? have you seen ANY of my methods? I am among dogs my whole life - started as a volunteer in local dog shelter when I was a kid, later I became a dog trainer and for the last 5 years I train K9s. I don't know who are those "reputable trainers" you talk about.
@@adrianakuzmikova1697 I question the use of dominance based training methods which have been thoroughly debunked over time. The only reason the trainer in this video did what he did was to identify triggers and to find out weather or not the dog was just neurotic full stop. But he is quite clearly not advocating negative training methods as a way of dealing with dominant behaviour, he rewarded good behaviour numerous times actually and never resorted to brute strength as a demonstration of dominance over the dog. The last thing any trainer should do is create potential for a new trigger, domination training methods can do just that. There are lots of articles on line now discussing the downside of dominance based training methods. They are well worth reading.

This is the best video I've seen on the channel so far. I love seeing you figure out why exactly a dog is acting in a problematic way, reducing it or showing how to predict and work with it. This is clearly a great dog who just needs the right leadership
Excellent! As always I appreciate your insight and ability to read a situation like this one, without labels or absolutes, while always keeping the main focus on what's best for the dog. Being able to watch canine behavior and body language is incredibly helpful. 😊
Dude, you spent 16 minutes of the 19 minutes video excusing yourself for doing your job.
You are very competent. You don't have to convince us 7 times that you are not harming the dog. We know. The social media induced such a paranoia in our society.
This is a good point. This video is a good example of when a dog is past the point of nice treat training.
unfortunately, social media can really turn on professionals. I have seen good dog trainers get torn apart on social media because they were "too rough" or "not positive" enough. I get his paranoia.
Chelsea Clement yea like you can’t use treats on a dog like that.

@@billregina1230
They don’t believe in establishing pack leader and that’s not respecting that he’s a dog (species) first and using language he understands - energy.
They would dope him up and then just manage around it while crying online in their reactive dog support group.
Positive reinforcement trainers aren't gonna poke the dog and antagonise it into aggression and then put that on the Internet for people like you to gush over. They will avoid putting the dog over threshold. They'd work on changing his emotional response (fear). Positive reinforcement trainers do work with reactive dogs all the time, you just won't see them post videos like these with the dog in distress.
@@Dahlily if R+ only worked, the American society of veterinary behaviorists would endorse it. But, they dont. Y’all R+ folks will kill a dog before you try anything else and you’ll sit around talking as if you did everything you could with your cognitive dissonance.

My son had one, could have been the same dog, identical in appearance and temprement. I waited until I had an hour alone with him, took him into the garage and we had a good talk. Incredibly intelligent animal, became a very different dog and remained so.
Kinda curious how they got the muzzle on
I was completely thinking about the same thing
trainers I know teach the dog to accept the muzzle like a game. It works they don't care as long as you have that high level of motivation waiting for them they will want to do it.
Give him some sleepy pills
The dog is over protective of the woman. She isn't the alfa here. The dog knows she's family but with minority rule. She may put the muzzle on or pet it but once another stranger is introduced the dog is forced to battle its dominance. It will bite the woman at no cost to let her know that she isn't the alpha to protect (these are ground rules in the animal kingdom, if two animals are fighting for dominance others don't intervene.)
Yea i dont even trust the muzzle for how big the nets are

Thank you for doing what you do!!
Excellent video. If only more dog trainers understood these situations better. You do such a great job with both dog and owner. This dogs body language was saying it all. He reminded me of a spoiled child in a store not getting what they wanted and the parents eventually gave in.
It takes a confident, non fearful, knowledgeable person to understand and deal with these aggressive dogs, you do a great job!!
It is so refreshing to see someone who actually genuinely understands dogs and their behavior. As an ethologist, this makes me truly happy.
Thanks so much!
@Peder Hansen No they aren't, they are the proper way of training. These harnesses that cut into the dogs side and rub them raw and allow them to put their entire weight against you is completely wrong. No real dog trainer will ever use a harness. These all positive shit doesn't work kids, it will definitely never work with dogs.
Peder Hansen positive reinforcement training is bullshit lol
I have a German Shepard who has wolf in him. I worked with him soooo much. Do not obtain a GSD If you do not have patience or confidence in yourself...they are a very intelligent breed and if you aren't assertive they will OWN you. I remember when I went to take him for walks...and I'd open the door he'd try and pull me out. He was only a month or two. It was behavior I addressed quickly. So one morning I stood by the gate with him on his leash and every time he'd try and pull me out I'd bring him back and close the gate and start again. He was getting frustrated and did everything correctly before I'd open the gate. I did that 35 times before he finally gave in. I remember that day like it was yesterday! I rewarded him with a couple of treats...and of course a peaceful walk hahah! German Shepards are incredibly stubborn, but if you invest time, work, patience, and love into them they are awesome derpy babies and make amazing family/guard dogs haha! Duke is 7 now and he's the best dog. I get compliments all the time on how well behaved he is...and how well he listens. You can't give in to stubborn breeds. Work with em!
Every GSD has Wolf genetics. The scientific Latin name for wolves is Canis Lupis and the scientific Latin name for a German Shepherd Dog is Canis Lupis Familia (Wolf Family). In the early 1900's in England these dogs were known as German Wolf Dogs and within about 4-5 years they became the most popular Police and Movie dogs of all time.

You literally blew my mind today with this video! Kudos to you and the owner for continuing with this dog. I am amazed he didn’t end up on the euthanasia table like so many of them do. I only wish I understood and knew his backstory.
Its hard to put leash on a dog once you put crown on his head

Best comment I’ve seen in a while! Thank you
Wow. Nice!
Great quote Yet another good thing to come out of Game of Thrones. Tyrion Lannister was a great character.
@@glenniederhauser5893 agree !
How the hell does this lady live with this dog?
She doesn't. The dog lives with her. He wears the pants in the family.
Well this is learned behavior, starts with small stuff, like trading treats, for a shoe that it stole from you as a puppy, instead of just grabbing the shoe, and telling it no. He has learned thru the owners behavior that he can get his way by acting like this. My mom had a dog like this, totally dominated her, I took it and with in two weeks it was potty trained and chilling on the couch with me and my children at night. 180 degree turn around. Best dog I ever owned. She literally saved me and my family from a house fire, woke us up, and let us knew there was a issue. Unfortunately she died in that same fire. I miss her soo much. That was two years ago.
I love dogs but why go this far. One mistake... just one and you are in the hospital. Ask Steve Irwin how it worked out for him.
Freyja I do I have a dog like this but it’s a different case he HATES people like hates people that don’t live in my house and we haven’t found a place that can train him
@@daves.5301 i do understand what you are saying and agree but most of the time aggressive behavior is not FULL time in dog it is triggered by certain actions by humans or certain situations. Like if a dog does not like its ears touched maybe it snaps at you but the rest of the time its chill and loving. What scares me more then being bit is if it were to bite someone else. Thats would be my nightmare. I am ok with getting hurt because of my dog or my actions but getting someone else hurt....that terrifies me.
As usual you are amazing. I love the education and the explanations behind what you do. You are so incredibly informative and I continue to share your videos daily in my German Shepard Group. You have SO MUCH amazing knowledge that so many people need to have. Thank you for being so awesome
It’s so rare to see a truly dominant dog. Good session
One growl and i would have ran 10 miles without looking back.
Wow,you have good stamina
Ahahahah
Don't flinch and stare at them in the eye like the eye of the tiger. I got in a fight with 3 big dogs on my road bike. I stopped don't look at him and picked up my road bike as high as I can and they all scramble. Walk away slowly.
@Agent Fungus Who cares? This is not about you. This person is right, ecen though lots of men don't know how to deal with that neither, he is right with regard to women's approach to dogs in general as a cause for that getting out of control
then he be running after you and will bite you never back down and dont show the dog you fear him.it all about trust then the bond will start about one and a half hours that all it takes you see his tail move side to side friend ship starts never tell him what to do it mite take a day or two then star slowly treats reward he love you to bits only if someone comes towards you then he bite them it true
"Can you .. Can you slip that over?" 😂😂😂😂😂
Mans was also scared of the dog!
😂😂😂
@@Mafinek123 I know hahah
wasnt he was scared lol he thought since he is use to her she maybe able to pull it over for him...
@@dustinmitchell4628 Ohh!! I didn't think of it as that.
The dog is wearing muzzle but yet the man was scared like he's about to lose his hands 😂
I’d be so scared to own this dog. I’m so glad he’s getting help.
Thank you so much. THIS is my
GSD exactly! I got her as a rescue and I will admit I'm over my head. The first couple of months we got along famously because I wasn't asking much of her. Now that I know what she knows I expect a little more that is where the conflict comes in! The other day she attacked me for telling her to get out of the garage , she wanted to get in the car . I was just getting some stuff out there and preparing to go for a walk with her. Fortunately her muzzle was on and I body blocked her out the door in spite of the fact she was muzzle punching and snarling like a beast. She goes after other dogs and redirect to me. She guards resources food toys territories. Very much appreciate these videos as I am determined to solve this
Hang in there, Debbie Smith! I had a rescue GSD mix who went after everything he didn't like being in his space, which was basically the entire neighborhood. And if he couldn't get to it, he often redirected his energy to me. He bit me once, but didn't puncture the skin. That's when I took him to a trainer. And nothing fancy, just a really good trainer at the local big chain pet store. She helped us work on trust. Once my dog learned to trust my judgement, we were good. One of the best dogs I ever had!
@@pattychristie1713 this one has bitten me about 10 times broken skin, probably could have used a few stitches. It's a bit of a drive to the hospital and I hate seeing doctors if it's not absolutely necessary. She bit her previous owner, that's what landed her in rescue. In any case, I am her last chance. She wears a muzzle in public now it has definitely saved quite a bit of my skin, her redirected aggression is quite serious.
@@debbiesmith2207 That is an unfortunate situation. I wish you the best, for you and the dog!
Is your dog doing better ?
@@Tzom unfortunately no. Several professionals who work with protection dogs deemed her a dangerous dog.
I actually feel bad for the robber who goes to her house one night...
It will probably attack the owner and let the robber rob the house
@@Turk_2023 nah it's actually the dog robbing the place in broad daylight
It takes a highly trained dog to protect a home.... even most aggressive ones will fight only if cornered.
@@Turk_2023 😂🤣🤣 facts
As long as the robber doesn't touch his head it's cool.
Dog : "Are you asserting dominance??!!"
"No no I'm not trying to be alpha here"
Dog : *woof in confusion
The Alpha theory is disproven
Loki Lockness exactly. Not to mention by the same person who created the dominance theory in the first place
I had a dog like this. No one could train him. He was wicked and scared the life out of me. He was god awful. One day a friend came over for the first time and the dog immediately got aggressive. The man put his hands on my dogs head and started rubbing him and saying “oh my tell me about it. Let me know” while crouching just barely above my dog, looking him in the eyes and he went silent. I said “what?? How were you not afraid?” And he said “He was just talking to me, he had a lot to say.” Weirdest things I’ve ever seen and I don’t for a minute believe he wasn’t a dog whisperer. 😂
Got to be the best trainer in the world especially when he’s puts 20 minute videos up showing us the bad side and good side. Keep going Tom Davis you don’t know how good these videos are
Im glad my only issues with my dog is getting him to stay when the door bell rings and hiding my socks... Hope for the best for this beautiful guy.
Can i get some of your shrimp and popcorn?
Lmao, what is it with dogs and socks!? I have an Akita and he is obsessed with my socks lol
You must have a vizsla
@@danaa.1093 2 year old silver merle labradoodle named Oliver
@@newleft2254 it's because they have your sweat in them and your dog loves your scent. My dog takes my boxers and socks every morning when I get in the shower, it's hilarious.
Thankyou for not giving up on your dog lady! Most "owners" would give up..
From what I’ve read she is his third owner so two already gave up on him which is sad he just needs guidance and leadership
I have a dog like this, our family just doesn’t have money to send him to a camp or training. Tried taking him a bath today and he just went crazy. Given him 2 baths in the past so I didn’t understand and now I do. He’s fighting because he doesn’t want to. My dog acted exactly like this one, but I have a prong collar and I held him till he stopped. Not sure what to do from there but a camp costs $4k for something as good as this nearby.
You should see the TikTok comments on his video of this dog, completely disgusting
@@kaliyaht5116 how were they?
@@kaydollar2490 they were saying it was an aggressive dog and it deserves to be put down, A LOT of comments about putting the dog down. One even said they would’ve shot it themselves
No amount of +R or force free training would have helped this dog. Tom is absolutely right. That’s not fear or insecurity. That’s pure dominance and aggression period. This dog would have been doomed without this.
Observing this approach is quite refreshing. I've always used the "I'm bigger and badder than you" approach wich has worked well with every dog I've owned (even aggressive rescued dogs), but I have to admit it, yes it can hurt the trust relationship with a dog if you overdo it.
This is just a puppy used to getting its way by acting crazy.
2019 summed up.
So a teenager
you are the only one who got it right he got his owe way from been a puppy. most dogs get put to sleep all because of no training
Yes! I see so many shelter dogs who have learned bad ways. We owners need to be way more careful.
Poor dog I'm so happy that there is still trainer that are willing to work with agressive dog because otherwise they would just put them down
Thank you for explaining this. A lot of people this type of dog training is abuse to the dog, when really it's helping the dog and the owner be happy together in the long run.
"Has plans to put leash around dog and fight him, hears him growl and grabs the big ass pole instead."
he's whay more scared than the lady
Felipe Medeiros then why dosnt the lady do this? Funny how he’s “scared” but can actually fix the dog when the owner couldn’t
Imagine how the dog would've acted if there was no pole there? He would probably jump at the trainer and scratch him, pull or in other ways use his body to defend himself since he was muzzled. I think the pole wasn't just a safety tool but also helped the dog settle faster, as seen in the video, and he was not able to lunge or jump :)
@@MishalMooreLover Exactly, he even explains in the video that the pole is denying him the contact that he wants, the situation de-escalates super quickly that way. He stares at him while saying "you're not getting what you want this time".
P4Pa Good some of us actually pays attention to the video and are interested in the topic 😛
as soon you see dog training channel allows comments, you know its a good channel.
On me I went straight to the comments expecting them to be disabled
@@chrisbeltran4053 True.
His growling is the scariest I've ever heard from a dog
I agree with you to an extent bc I feel if you are “fighting until he realizes he can’t win” you establish yourself as the “alpha”. Dogs are pack animals not human mind animals, they respond to what they instinctually know. They think “I’ve been barking and going crazy and they (humans) usually let it go” and theyn when they realize they loose and they aren’t the boss, they emphasize that they are rewarded by this behavior. I deal with this a TON being a groomer and understand that they are only doing what they know so when you change that behavior to “I’m not going to give into this” they completely change their mindset. I completely agree with the “mental battle” but I feel that, that in itself is making yourself alpha to him, him knowing he has to listen to humans (alpha), without “putting him to the ground”” Great props to you for your patience! 👏👏🐩💕
The alpha theory has been disproven for decades. In fact, the dude that invented the idea of alphas in wolves literally proved himself wrong because he was looking at captive wolves, which act significantly differently than wild wolves. This isn't to say the idea of dominance is all wrong, but you don't need to be the alpha. Your dog just needs to know that they can't get away with whatever they want.
@@samgeorge1452 Never heard of “that guy” before but I’m just stating my experience, I am a pet groomer and have worked with anywhere from 4-12 dogs a day for over 14 years now and have found that to be true, not on every single dog but 98% of the time. Nowadays humans put their human mind and emotions as k9’s and it does not work, saying “alpha” doesn’t mean wrestling the pup to the ground necessarily, means that they know you are in charge and not them. Go to a daycare or dog park with a lot of dogs and see how they are with NO human interaction and you will see the nuances that I am speaking of, I just simply use what I see them doing as their instinct to work with them in a way they understand and not forcing them to understand something I am making up. Similar to how an older dog corrects a younger pup by applying bite pressure to their neck nerves and they instinctually know that correction. But like I said that’s just my experience 🤷♀️🐩
That dog sounds so evil lol. I was nervous just watching and listening from my phone haha. Kind of reminds me if my first gsd. She was such a nightmare .. no kennel would take her cause she literally would not just bite them but would try to eat them. My ex wife and I dropped her off at a new kennel for the first time. I had to walk her to the kennel myself. We left and started our 7 hour trip. About an hour and a half into the trip, I got a call saying we have to come pick her up she is out of control. We weren't mad. We know she was a hand full and could be dangerous. So we picked her up. On the way to get her my ex wife called tons of kennels in Jacksonville to see if anyone would take an aggressive 90lbs gsd. Found one about 45 min away from where we were picking our up at. So we brought her there. Again, had to walk her back to the kennel lol. They assured us that she would be fine and we'll taken care of. So we started out trip once again. We called daily to check on her and every time they assured us that she was doing great and was perfectly fine. So our week vacation was over. We started our drive back to Jacksonville. We get to the kennel. I'm expecting to have to go back and get her myself like always. But her she comes running down the hallway, no leash, and the guy that got her out far behind her. She came running up to us loved on us. The guy came over and started playing with her. I was like bruh, what'd you do to my dog? Haha. I was like I spent time with her and every time she tried to bully me, I stood my ground. It was at that moment, we found a new vet and kennel. They absolutely loved her. After talking with this guy for like 3 hours out front he told us how to work with her and thing to do and try. She actually became a very good dog. But damn, 4 years of living like that was hard. No trainers would work with her. Said she couldn't be helped. Had a Rottweiler female who was an amazing dog up til the day she died. My second gds was also a female. She was a well rounded dog. She tried bless her heart to intimidate people. But everyone knew she was a big baby and she'd back down every time haha. This video brought back memories of my first gsd. I miss her so much!
Good memories
My daughter got a HAD that was a huge problem when young...but is all so bad. Turned into the best dog ever.
love your story. so encouraging
Great story, so what did that trainer teach you to do differently? Interested to know.
@@RafidNassir he really didn't do much of anything. The majority of the problem was her being over protective of my wife and I. We weren't around so he was able to spend time with her walk her and build a relationship with her. My wife and I started watching tons of dog behavior videos to learn more about dogs and how they think and so on. She ended up turning out to be an amazing german shepherd. She has since passed away 😭😭😭 but still in my heart every day! I wish I had stumbled on toms videos all these years ago. Could if saved us several years of headaches with her. I k ow have a 4 year old pit who's amazing with people and amazing with kids. But not so much other dogs. Don't think it's so much aggression. But he has attacked several dogs in the past. Only really hurt 1 which was an other pit. In fairness, my dog was on a leash and this dog was not. Told the owner several times get your dog... Get your dog. He kept saying oh, he's fine. I said he's not going to be and boom! Fighting.
If you need to know, the dog is wagging his tail. It’s because he is stressed. Dogs wag their tails when exited or stressed. If it helps to understand.
I had to watch 12:30 to 13:05 a couple of times - so very impressing. thank you for showing us this great work, and for all of the important information! I learned a lot, once again. Would give a hundred thumbs up if possible
Respect for the owner who are ready to be trained him instead of abondant him
he also seems like he focuses on his owner after every tiff for confirmation
I noticed that, wasn't sure what this meant, but it did look over to its owner.
@@o0sunsi0o If i had to guess, when the dog lashes out, the owner probably comforts the dog to try to defuse the situation, thus it acts as a reward for the behavior. SO when the dog lashed out in the video, he looks at the owner to see if what he did was "good"
Classic example of types of people who shouldn't own shepherds 👍. Don't wait until it's a problem.
James Piccone and also, ANY dog can be dominant. Not just German shepherds. 😊
@@kaileebeach and you don't wait till it's a problem, especially with shepherds.👍 Who gives a fuck if a shitzu is dominant.
