Share your comments about how this could have been avoided.
simply by walking away
By not allowing your dog to “challenge” a stray. You obviously wanted your dog to engage the other dog.
Lol so many toxic ppl i don’t quite think they understand how heavy and strong german shepherds are and that one is very big and they clearly haven’t seen you other videos they should be more respectful.
@@urnan7330 the uploader asked for viewers’ opinions and that’s what he got. There’s no disrespect here unless you’re very thin skinned. Also, I might not know exactly how heavy or strong German Shepard are but I have a Siberian husky who were bred to pull ice sleds and have very strong instinct to take off after prey. You simply divert their attention when you can/know they’re about to make you eat asphalt after spotting a squirrel.
most dogs would never bite a person b/c its in their DNA so you could have carried him
Well what you did bad is that YOU approached that dog with MAX. The footage clearly shows you guiding your dog closer and closer. He is not dragging you there. You let your dog to get closer and closer to that other {invasive}. When MAX was too close to him he switched to defensive and started attacking you. What you should have done is stay where you are at distance but paying attention to your surroundings {defensive} or start walking to a direction opposing to that dog {evasive}. If you noticed the other dog measured MAX and decided to go evasive on you two and the group of dogs around you. He kept a safe distance and didn't act aggressive or challenging as MAX. What happened was your fault and your government's. Uncontrolled street dog population is never a good thing! Beautiful dog you have there btw. Please try protect him better next time. Rabies is a killer disease with no cure. Very common between wild living animals and symptoms are not always visible at early stage. Your dog might win a street fight but will get bitten and if the attacker had rabies MAX will die.
I would hope Max is vaccinated for rabies, unless they dont do that where he lives. In that case that is very sad.
Bro 1% of the dogs have rabies and u can clearly see him trying to get max away when he goes away
@@endeeray4295 bro rabbies ka vaccination kitna bhi ho but a severe rabbies virus can kill your dog...
@@savesta304 " Im not yur bro" and just try to give advice as its been asked. You are on the other hand clearly have no clue about dogs. Please dont get one. Btw im working with border patrol dogs...
@@Safety0FF I very much agree with you here
Yes you could have avoided. Max was totally fixated and staring at the dog and his body language was screaming out loud that he was gonna react. You should have broken the fixed gaze and taken a U turn to simply disengage. And the kick at the end just makes it worse. and there was no verbal correction to Max. Command like “Leave it” can be used so that he knows he should ignore and move on. I have a GSD and it’s important to be mindful with them. Instead of hoping for that stray dog to move away, you can walk away and diffuse the situation and come back to meet the other regular streeties. But you kept advancing towards the dog encourage both the dogs to engage into this chaos. 🤦🏻♀️
Yup! Content ka chakar babu bhaiya 👽
I will never allow my gsd to engage with street dogs,if they bite our pet could catch rabbies,and they come in group so they can also harm our pet more.
I always walk with a stick to keep them away.
But the street dog was coming at Max. Max had no problem with the other dogs. But this one was gunning for Max from the beginning. I don't think it would have mattered if he moved away, that street dog was coming for Max one way or the other. Max very intelligent he can read dogs better than we can. I will not be surprised if that street dog bites someone.
Maybe they just had to go that way. But I do agree on the verbal correction though. Still especially GSDs can't really hear them if they are so fixated on an other dog.
The text at the bottom of the video makes your dog seem innocent. But the actual video was; very aggressive Shepard on leash lead straight to a street dog so they could fight. I don't know where you live and what is the norm for you or dogs there but video/text contents should just be, " Shepard guard dog tells street dog to get out of the way." If the dog is in fact used as a guard dog.
"Could we have avoided it?" lmao yes
Yes you could have avoided it, but you chose not to. You said “we were planning to leave”. Why planning to leave, and who were planning it with? The dog?
You are the dog handler, you make a decision.
Could have walked the other way instead of challenging the dog.
How disciplined Max is!
He only barked at those 2 dogs that were creating issues .
A disciplined german shepherd don't bark like that unless somebody is trying to hurt the owner
Exactly! Max is also very intelligent. He knows a threat. That street dogs needs to controlled because I can see it bitting someone.
I know sometimes owners also loss it , when a stray barks at their respectful dog for no reason . But my friend lost his GermanS. 2 years back cause the stray was carrying RABIES that was transferred to Tyson (Dog) during the fight . Won the Fight , but lost the Battle . RIP Tyson 💔
So sorry to hear
@@MaxtheGentleGiant No worries , we recovered from the loss . You take care of Youself and your Buddy ( Max ) sir . 🐕🦺❤️👨🦱
Max is smart. He assessed a threat and he was prepared. Even if you had moved with Max this street dog was coming after you both. Max did a great job under the circumstances. A few of those street dogs are very aggressive. Max is twice his size but it still came after Max?
Max was a true KING 😍
next time u could actually like shout something the other dog will be scarred and try to pull back max when this happens try to scare the stray dog but pls don't kick him
but Max had control of the situation and dint fight with him. Max is a very good and well-behaved boy.
“Max the gentle giant”
So gentle until he is not lol
I think it is kinda fun how your Chanel is called"max the gentle giant
Ohh no. The fact is that you don’t know what he is capable of. It is his kindness even here in not tearing that dogs throat. Those who know him knows his strength. And that’s why they call him Gentle Giant.
❤️❤️❤️☮️ Puppies
GSD King ❤
Number one rule in self defense: *DONT BE THERE*
Eta kothar theke niyechhen uncle ?
This is why some doggo owners carry a stick for. Not to beat up the stray but to avoid such clashes.
sir can you please tell from where did you got this amazing orange harness for max...its really looking so good...!!
You can get it from Amazon. Search for TrueLove service dog harness
@@MaxtheGentleGiant not able to find it sir....it would be great if you share a link in your next video or even here..
!!
Thank you

I think under the circumstances, Max behaved rather well, and you were able to keep control of him
😂😂😂😂seriously, clearly the owner hasn't trained him well enough otherwise the shephard wouldn't have disobeyed and attacked
He didn't tell max to stop im legit 14 im a girl who has better control of a german shepherd who barks at every dog he's sees and i only had him for about a month
I’m beginning to think this guy lets his dog approach others when it’s agitated to draw views to his channel. 😡
@@penguinswithwifi ditto, why do you think he roams around with a GoPro while walks. The world is full of idiots like him
I mean no hate at all just a question and just curious when you said that the feeling was mutual between the two dogs why did the dog not bark or growl at max until max was in his face. I also do understand that this is a powerful breed and can be hard to walk away when the dog is in that mind set. Also max is so beautiful. I am so sorry if this sounds rude I just didn’t know how to word it.
You are seeing only one interaction here. We see the interactions everyday. Thats the reason for this comment. And while most of the days that dog starts today Max started. Every walk of Max gets end to end recorded I review the footage everyday and share some on this channel. By the way, in this area we also feed those street dogs. Thats why you will see the other ones are indifferent in the fight. Cheers from Bangalore 🐶🐶
Ok thank you for answering my question
Giant doggo ❤️
Woof Woof 🐶 Thank you so much for your comment
I never allow my German Shepherd to play with other stray dogs or even get close to them. I train him to give all his attention and focus on me. In order to avoid any transmission of diseases or a potential fight with stray dogs.
This guy is very new at being a dog owner or doesn’t care if other dogs get hurt.
Uturn as soon as they get fixed on other dogs. You might also like to try a Sprenger prong collar. It helped with my GSD. Most important to disengage quickly. Harness does not give you full control.
Lali is so intelligent that in dog language she said the unknown dog to go away because it will trigger Max
German Shepherds are very good at training other vicious dogs, and some trainers use them only for doing just that. It is almost like dog language. The German Shepherd translate the human instruction to the other dog using nonverbal and verbal cues. In way Max was trying to do that. It is tough with these street dogs. They are all not so timid and nice. Some are nasty like this dog. Poor Max. But he can handle himself very well.
YOU CAN HOLD THE STICK IN HAND FOR SCARE THE STREET DOG ......IT IS A BETTER OPTION
Max be like : papa se panga nahi🤣
Don't know why my dog never barl at other dogs he just lay and wait for the hunt😅
assessing the threat was an under_statement Dan
My Dog Was Attacked By A Street Dog, My German Shepherd Also Reacted Like Max
You can definitely see how Max’s Alfa type of presence recruited the street dogs even though you guys just met them. The street dogs even bark at the other stray (the one max didn’t like). So they where probably all in agreement that they didn’t that dog. Nothing much you can do in a dog fight, it’s tricky business.
Thanks for your comment. It's not the first time. We walk in this area everyday. And I carry food with me and have built a pack with Max with all the local stray dogs. That's my way. Now, even after this, not all dogs submit. This one is comparatively new. Think of a lone wolf. The other dogs won't support these lone wolves.
That small dog is challenging Max?? What does it think?
you should not let the dog near your pet, i have seen in your other videos as well, i am sorry to say but you need to have more control on your pet. It's visible that the person who is walking max is not able to handle him.
I know. But he is better than my other options
LOL you really have NOT seen his other videos if you think he can’t control his dog he does a way better job than most other ppl and that street dog deserves to get barked at
Max roars than bark. The other dog looks puny infront of him. 😂
Tbh you walked your dog right into that, imagine it hadn't gone his way and that stray had seriously injured your dog...you had enough time to move away from that pack of dogs but you let your male walk toward him an bully him...to show what exaclty? That your dogs bigger and stronger? If your dog gets left with its nose hanging off when they next come into contact youl be asking for sympathy on here! I've loved your videos but this one really annoyed me sorry 😞
Edit * I've owned and bred dogs for years, learned there pack mentality, learned there body language, live and breath them ♡
Asking for sympathy? From whom? And why? That's quite an interesting comment. Anyways, thanks for commenting. This is just a body footage. Every moves of this dog gets recorded. Only some clips turn up here on this channel because people love to watch it. Coming to the packs of dogs and street dogs, I have been living with packs since my childhood and a middle aged man by now. I am not an impulsive young lad looking for views. So, be rest assured I know what I am doing. Rather than conditioning my dog to turn away, I prefer the street dogs who dont get well with us get conditioned to avoid us. You can question this attitude. But, in the area where I live, I don't carry a stick with me. I carry biscuits. And, all the street dogs are fed by me as well in our walk. There are many videos here which you may watch if you like. But, there are one or two which still doesn't go well with Max and Max also doesn't go well. Turning back is not an attitude I prefer. Neither for me nor for my dog. Period.
This guy is a naive dog owner or thinks it’s fun to watch Max’s reaction in order to film it on TH-cam.
I think you could have avoided the other dog. Like the commenter who said give a command to stand down. The two dogs didn't seen interest in fighting once the came together though. I wonder why Max reacted that way to that dog but wasn't at all concerned about the first group. I love German Shepherds. I used to raise Labs and a guy who raised GS told me you have to be so careful when you buy one to make sure it comes from a good line. Max is beautiful
Thanks. I feed all these street dogs when I walk with Max everyday. That’s why the first group did not react. They are friends.
German instincts, never give up. But the street king did not do badly, given the lilliput size
Omg.. Max is so understanding. New saw a kid like him before.. and that too German shepherd
Haha ....😁
I sometimes think can a Desi street dog could beat a gsd ? Just curious to know
GSD s have a stronger bite force. But a very confident small dog can chase away a bigger timid one. Also depends on who is on whose territory.
@@MaxtheGentleGiant thanks for replying ! But gsd are mostly used in defence forces and to protect property, it's a watch dog. As far I seen, they don't fear anyone also they have the big Jaw, their barking sound is also too deep. I think gsd are best for protection. Their instincts are way better than our Desi dogs
@@krishnasamirdash3969 Any breed dogs are bred for a particular intent. But, like for humans a noble laureate’s son doesn’t become a noble laureate, the same concept goes for dogs. A genetic trait with right training has potential. That’s all we can say. Each dog is different in my experience.
@@MaxtheGentleGiant thanks bro
I’m curious why you intentionally try to get your dog to fight another dog?
I have comments to the original footage. It just happened impromptu. It’s easy to think later and give meaning to it. Now when I see this clip again, I feel that may be I should have waited a bit longer.
So I am one who defended you on the lift video but unfortunately this video doesn't do you any favors. The camera angle makes it hard to tell if you are purposely letting your dog approach to get a video. If you are really disappointed. However my advice is get a proper harness with a easier to grab and secure handle the type that is physically on the harness. You need to use your voice more you are so quiet and not showing command. Don't allow him to get aggressive from the start you left it build up until it was uncontrollable. You need to keep eye on your dog's body language and tell when he is fixed on it and break it, walk him away and don't let him back there that day. He needs to know he can't do that if he wants to socialize with the nice dogs.
Got your point. And thanks to you.
He is the beta and the dog is the aloha in their relationship. That’s the problem. One day Max is going to harm a dog or possibly a child.
why is ur yt called max the gentle giant he totally aint gentle
You are watching very old videos of young Max. Check out his latest ones
th-cam.com/video/M0Lz0vV68Y8/w-d-xo.html
Its you who made max challenge the stray
You need a pull harness for better control of a dog as strong as him. It will be easier to just lead him away from that dog.
Do you live in India
Yes. In Bangalore.
That was completely avoidable and completely and totally YOUR fault!! You just stood there & let Max get wound up more & more until he lost his cool. You could have easily redirected his attention towards you and KEPT WALKING. Even if you had to pass by the dog closely. Max should have been focused on you and only you. Your only worry should have been what the unleashed dog was going to do. Maybe socialize Max better and put him AND you through some obedience courses. They are well worth the money.
Edit: I typed this in the most loving way possible ♡
You have judged too soon from a window of few seconds or minutes. But that’s ok. I did what I wanted to do. And the people who stay in our area very well know how much I love all these dogs without branding them as street or breed. Avoidance and facing are two different styles to get rid of a situation. The first one is quick and temporary. The second one is more sustainable. What I did was to make sure both Max and the other dog associate this with a bad experience. We walk here everyday. And it’s just in front of our gated community. So avoidance is not an option to me. It may take Max out of that situation but will encourage the other dog to repeat the same every time we come out. That’s not a long term solution for me. By the way, nowadays they both avoid each other and we all happily co-exist. There are other dogs too who are good friends with Max. Thanks for your comment. Woof woof 🐶
It is clearly visible that you did it for the content bro
You think so? We don’t create anything. When you see our channel and the posts, you will know.
Bro you clearly loosened your grip on the leash
I also have a German shepherd name ishi she is female but to aggressive
Just unleash max. And let them be an example for the other dogs. Simple
maybe lali knew him and max didnt maybe lali is friends with him
Yes. Most of the street dogs are friends of Max.
U lost. Y did u intervene with ur kick out there.??
Because I am also one of those who take care of those street dogs. It’s not about winning or losing. We have to co-exist.
Why did you approach the dog? There's a lot of ways you could have done differently for avoiding that to happen. Or is this video just your test for people to you to see if people can see your mistakes? I'm not being mad... I'm just really confused.
Well, I really wanted to hear from people. But, rather than conditioning my dog to turn away, I prefer the street dogs who don't get along with us get conditioned to avoid us. You can question this attitude. But, in the area where I live, I don't carry a stick with me. I carry biscuits. And, all the street dogs are fed by me as well in our walk. There are many videos here which you may watch if you like. But, there are one or two which still doesn't go well with Max and Max also doesn't go well. Turning back is not an attitude I prefer. Neither for me nor for my dog. Its been few days since this incident happened. And that dog and Max both avoid each other nowadays. In fact, when we come out from our residence, this dog maintains distance from us.
@@MaxtheGentleGiant That's interesting to know. Since my county doesn't have stray domestic animals those situations are rare and I would prefer staying away from those kind of situations as best as I can. That kind of behaviour by you may be better in your situation and area tho and I understand that. Thanks for your response 👍
Owner is a fool
Brilliant 👍
I think that he wasn’t aggressive but protective he was trying to scare away a possible threat
u r right. even in the closest contact Max did not bite the dog. Which he could have done. But, he only uses his weight to push him away.
Are you odia?
No. Bengali
I love Max so much ❤️ he's a good boy. Amar gadha ta ulto maar kheye fire aashto 😅
Woof woof 🐶🤷♂️😂
Try this with a breed dog I.e. a rott or a bully kutta or another gsd for example, and you and your dog both will know who’s the boss. Scaring away stray dog with your large gsd is not acceptable.
But, Max or I, none of us want to try out any fight with anyone. We just want to finish our walks peacefully. And as long as we can do that, we are quite happy and content. Why should even we try out as you suggested? Didn’t understand that mentality in first place
@@MaxtheGentleGiant instead of allowing your dog to attack the strays you could have pulled him back, I too encounter strays on daily basis and I don't engage my dogs with strays, it could do harm either ways.
OMG TELL HIM TO STOP. Its irresponsible not to tell your dog to stop if he understands he's not supposed to do that he feel bad for it and you bond better with your dog if you are in control
Props to you and ur dog he could of pulled a lot harder if he wanted and for controlling him so well
I think that was handled VERY well! Nice job owner ☺️
Dude what video were you watching? Lol! He is allowing his dog to be the alpha, to make the decisions. He needs to show the dog that he, the owner, is in charge.
Unnecessary. You could have avoided it. And your dog takes you out for a walk.
I think you could of started shouting at the dog dont kick them bc If you shouted the fight would have stopped
Thanks for your response 🙏
don't worry bro he just showed him the kick to scare him the stray dog dint get hit
ok but why would you kick the dog it is max's fault and your's too?
Check the video again frame by frame. I didn’t even touch the dog. And, I have also very clearly called out why I have done that. I can’t stop coming out with Max. So I wanted both the dogs(Max and the other one) to have a bad experience which they will associate with each other. And as it proved, from next every single day they have both avoided coming near to each other as well.
Second comment bro
Woof woof 🐶
had I like your dogs deep bark
If I was u I would've let max attack that freaking dog
Sir, you done a mistake here. If your max doesn't like the white dog and start barking you should stop barking of max and go ahead
Good job keeping the dog away that’s what r suppose to do
Your way of handling the dog in this situation is wrong. The leash pressure and the way you are moving forward is telling the dog that you want him to go ahead and have a go at him.
That dog was avoiding you and you should also have avoided that dog. Not all dogs can be friends just like all humans cannot. They have their individual personalities. Do respect that.
I also have a german shepherd whom i walk around on busy streets often without a leash. When many unknown dogs approach us i command my dog to sit, stay and pay attention to me. Thats what you should be doing when your dog showed anxiousness when he saw that dog
You’re totally in the wrong here.
In most of your videos you have no verbal control of your GSD and never stop him fixating on other dogs. You need training. If Max gets hurt it will be your fault because, as in this video, you lead him into confrontation with other dogs.
If you have seen our channel really you would have known much better. You believe something. TH-cam algorithms show only that kind of contents to you. Watch the videos directly from the channel. And know what Max was.
I don't think you should've avoided this situation at all, clearly the other dog was challenging Max first, the other dog needed to know that Max also lives here and to accept him. You handled him well by making Max tell the other dog who the area belongs to
You was walking towards the dog just to kick it😨Your dog should put you down and that's why you had got karma you tried to kick the dog but failed, you should of kept moving insteadt you wanted to be a dumb owner dragging your dog to fight. Instead of kicking that dog you should of walked or USED the leash to drag him away but no.
This is hilarious 😂
Ugh, you are an irresponsible dog owner. You don’t understand clues from your dog that he’s agitated and will react, OR you know he will and you’re doing it for the views on TH-cam. A street dog could get injured by Max. He’s not really a “gentle” dog, he’s a normal German Shepherd. They are aggressive and protective. You act as if he’s a gentle, calm, mature Labrador Retriever. Please do better.
That dog was minding his own business but you chose to invade that dogs's space with your gsd. You said "I had to intervene" , but you could have avoided that all in the first place. Really bad move from your part. I am unsubscribing rn
