Oh, man you made anxious just by listening to you trying to get your words out 😂 my dog is a 3 m.o. puppy, no aggressive behavior so far, I’m just learning so I can avoid the behavior. Thanks so much!
Our 1 year old re homed RR behaves exactly as described in this vid regarding wanting to charge over to other dogs to say hello. We are unable to let him off of the lead because of this issue but we are paying for one to one lessons to try and correct his behaviour. Also trying to find one of these enclosed fields for hire to let him have a good run in.
interesting advice. I find with my RR, having him try to sit and stay as another dog passes (that he is already excited about) makes it worse than keeping him moving with a high value treat in his face and lots of praise. Also, curious about 2 things, when the positive reinforcement isn't enough and a distraction isn't working, what is your definition of a "heavy handed" correction? One more question, we use ecollars for offleash hikes, the tone is his recall; is it ever appropriate to use the ecollar as a heavy handed correction around other dogs (or will he associate the ecollar correction with the dog)? Bonus question: what collar/leash do you recommend (head halter, prong martingale, or something else)?
That is not the way a ridgeback should behave. My ridgeback is well socialised end very gentle to other dogs outside and even lets small dogs bite her. But what she does do is running towards other dogs very fast and stops right in front of them and sniffing at them in a gentle way. Some people get scared when she does that to their dogs and think she is dangerous What really helps is when you have a puppy, to distract them when there are joggers of scateboarders or whatever triggers them. You can do that by lettting them look at you and calling their name, and immediately reward them with a treat
i got a new rr puppy and it always growls wben i try to give him water or food and he also doesnt like when i try to move him and as really shy and stays in the same place

Do you raise RR’s? And they’ve attacked pets and people? Or have just experienced many ridgeback attacks because there a a lot of these dogs in your neighborhood who have attacked people and pets?
@@knoophouse I'm sorry. i was kind of vague in my comment. I know people who have RRs and others who have owned RRs. it was definitely strange that all the owners said the same thing unbidden, not knowing each other. Granted I made it sound like they attack people unprovoked. I didn't mean to make it sound like that. I meant if they feel the need to protect their people/homes they don't growl/make a show they typically just go for it and do what they think is right. Sorry about the vaguary.

Hi, how do we contact you for more information?

Would love a video on how to get them to stay alone. Unfortunately my girl older now. She is five but she still won’t stay home one.
A lot of RRs just attack...they give no outside sign. They can just attack people or animals.
