Ive had dogs my whole life. My first dog was a St. Bernard, named Dutchess, that my dad gave me on my first christmas. I did everything with that dog. Evenput my clothes on her when I got a little older! She was a true gentle giant. When I was 5 years old, she bit my dads girlfriend. OUT OF NO WHERE! She did not like her AT ALL!When my dad married her, she refused to let me keep my dog. My grandma kept her. THANK GOD! But, come to find out, my stepmother was VERY SEVERLY abusive! When I had two boys of my own, they grew up with a St. Bernard mix, and an aussie mix. Both dogs watched my kids like a hawk. You could talk with the boys. And that was fine. But don't you dare TOUCH one of them! One day at the park, a man raised his voice, and reached out and grabbed the corner of my sons shirt. Lucky for him, we only had the aussie with us that day. She went after him with a vengence! I still don't understand EXACTLy what happened that day. I just know, that as long as the dogs were around, I had nothing to worry about. After 13 years of marriage, my husband got on drugs. It escalated QUICKLY!Within a matter of months, he went from being a good father and husband, to being abusive and untrustworthy! One day, he physically attacked me. He had me down in the living room floor, and was on top of me. INSTANTLY the St. Bernard mix had him by the forearm, and backing him across the room. Shaking his head violently! My huisband was yelling and trying to tell him to stop,, but he would not listen! as soon as I said his name, he stopped, and came and sat in front of me, facing my husband! This was also HIS DOG! And YET, he KNEW that it was time to PROTECT! I got rid of the husband. But had the dog until he was almost 18 years old. When he peacefully left us from old age. I really don'[t know what all is entailed in this "protection" training. But my experiene has been, DOGS KNOW! Love your dog. Socialize your dog. Train (common training I mean) and it will protect you! Dog pick up on so many different things that we humans cannot sense. I NEVER would have thought the dogs would attack my husband! We was, after all, part of our PACK! AND one of the DOMINANT over the dogs! BUT THE DOGS KNEW WHO WAS IN THE WRONG! It must have to do with hormones being released, and body language. I am now divorced. And I was set up on a date with a friend of a friend. He came to my house to pick me up. My dog (different form the ones I already spoke of) A full bred aussie, did not want the guy to pet him. This was not like him. Usually he is a pest, wanting to be included. But not with this guy! So, I cancelled the date. He asked why. I was honest. "because my dog does not like you" He told me how nutty I was. Which was fine. But I was not interested in finding out WHY my dog did not like this particular person. About 5 years later, he was arrested and charged with rape. I dont know if he was guilty or not. I am just happy that I never had to find out. DOGS ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!! No other way to say it!
Woooow, i read the whole thing. You have had some special dogs and special bonds, the last story, takes my breath away, the right dog really can sense bad energy, (obviously through smell). It’s like us humans evaluate someone acting dodgy through voice tone and body language, dogs do it through smell and body language.
My dog wasn't trained for protection but just service but yet she does all the protection thing. When we in public she sits facing my back and protects me from anyone coming from back. She will also do the barking clamping teeth when needed and I can tell her spot and instant stop. I'm so proud of her! Got her on my stella doberman playlist :)
Honest question: with the training you are doing aren't you worried that the dog will start to see his everyday life in the same way as the training, looking for a reason to bite somebody? Because realistically his life won't have a lot of actual attackers in it but it will have children, drunk people or other people that behave differently than expected. Won't this training make him more likely to see anything that is different as an opportunity to bite? Especially since he is already afraid of stuff we think is abnormal to be afraid of, isn't this just teaching him to bite things he thinks are scary/threatening?
"They're not scared of the discipline because they know you are fair". Love how you put that Mike. That's the perfect picture. This video was very inspirational. Honour the dog, don't squash the dog. Amazing stuff, informed, skilful, modern and nuanced. Impulse control has to be taught and practised. Boone did an amazing job and his "mum" (mom) was awesome. For her to be up to the challenge of owning a dog like Boone is amazing. Massive respect to all.
@@saarlooswolfhund6237 Nothing wrong with ecollars when used skilfully. Ecollars can be used in a variety of ways. Be more open minded. Mike's also an extremely skilled and knowledgable guy and one of the few trainers worth paying attention to (in my opinion).
Great illustrations of fearful dogs and how to train them it just goes to show a dog with a job is definitely a positive connection Love You video clips god bless
Love, love, love... so please to hear the nick is being use and not constant. This dog reminds me so much of Tazer... Ara my girl though had more self control and very environment safe. I'm missing them both so much.
Our male, Kashmir, German shepherd was like Boone really nervous around humans, not quite as aggressive. Unfortunately we lost him 3 years ago to epilepsy he was only 4. We have our girl Valentine and she's very protective of me she'll be 10 in August. I did work with a trainer to help with Kashmir being so insecure and he was good, I asked him if either dog would benefit from bite or personal protection training and he said no. I disagree, Valentine is extremely well trained and I'm positive she'd love that kind of training. For example, I was out getting the mail today and my neighbour across the road was out, front door wide open and she barked at him but didn't cross the threshold of the door, I'm sure if I told her to go she would. She's a bit old now but it's definitely something I will look into with our next shepherd. I've had them since I was 18 but I've never had one like Valentine. My very first Saskia was protective but nothing like Valentine. If I'm in on my own, husband is at work, and I have someone who we don't know in the house I muzzle her. If we're in the living room and someone goes to come in then she'll stop them at the threshold until I recall her and stand up. She's definitely got a natural instinct to protect and has had since she was a pup. I asked the vet and he said some dogs, regardless of breed, sex, how they've been raised etc, will protect one person and for Valentine that's me and yes I do feel really safe and wish I could take her everywhere. It's like having a tiger on a leash, people just get out of the way!
So true that some dogs will so instinctively or naturally protect person and/or property. However by 'some dogs'I mean it is wise to know that less than one in a hundred dogs will do so without training. So very many sceptical people have sworn their dog will protect them and more times than not it seems Ive had to prove it by jumping their fence and backing their dogs away with a pointed finger and a firm 'no' . While doing so as long as they have an avenue of movement away, essentily an escape from me and I do not back them in a corner these Rotties, Dobies, GSD and Pit Bulls to name a few simply bark and steer clear whether a single dog or a pack of three or more. The breeds I have witnessed as protective without training have been GSD, Pit Bull, Akita, Standard Poodle and Schnauzer as well as a few others including mixed breed dogs. The most inately stable I have seen protect naturally are of the South African bred German Shepard Dog whom will naturally protect whomever is holding or last held their lead even exchanging the lead between husbands and wives...quite phenomenal. I have provided this as information and not at all to discredit your comment. Thank you.
Very good video. My own dog was a rescue, and a mix of multiple breeds but he has triggers similar to what I saw here. We love him and he is awesome when it is just our family, but is tough to have company over because of his desire to protect the home. I need to learn how to teach him to be ok with the people we invite in.
Great video, you guys are really amazing 👌👍, many owners like my self get very frustrated when our dogs don't do exactly what we want, but it's really our fault. And to make things worst we usually end up mistreating our dogs 😢
It is good to see obedience with the bite work there is lot of work go in2 dogs to be like that but what ever body does is bite work 1st but dogs need obedience 1st and then bite work well done k9 .1 and all so to the owner keep the good work up 👍👍
I know the dog was doing the wrong thing by bitting too early but at the same time, there was a part of me that was proud of the dog when he was breaking the climb command to go bite Mike because he was yelling at the woman :)
when I'll go for a dog, I'll really contact you for training 👌 but the problem is, im from india and your place is really far away. but will try to figure out this issue when I'll get my dog.
The best german shepherds I've seen were the ines that were working. Call me uptight, but to get a GSD as a pet for the home exclusively and not work it, take it places, expose it. Its asking for trouble.

Very very good video. Shows errors the dogs make. Makes this more realistic than trainers showing just perfect dogs always.

It clearly lacked socialization when he was a puppy even after a German shepherd always needs socialization

Starbucks coffee sucks! =D
This dog is a liability, do some dock diving/weight pull/bikejoring not bitework with a fearful dog, this guy is just rinsing his clients of money
