As an Amazon delivery driver, I can attest that 99% of guardian breed owners do NONE of this, nor are they even aware they should.
That’s the difference between a pet dog owner who doesn’t understand how to train a dog and a pro. I worked with our Rotties and taught them the delivery trucks were a good thing. They became best buddies with our regular Amazon and UPS drivers. It also helped the drivers always had milk bones in their trucks😂
I'm glad you said it. Having a guard dog doing this is pointless.
You aint lying -a ups driver
How do you handle dogs? How do you handle the situation?
When you track your package and it says not able to deliver will attempt next business day that’s why you wasn’t home the dog was driver didn’t get out and left
I used to live next door to a pit bull who was kept chained to a log. He always acted like he wanted to rip my leg off. Then he saw me give my dog a barbecued rib when I cooked out one night. He saw how happy my dog was with that rib, and he cried like a puppy! I gave him a rib, and then I was his favorite human on the planet. After that, he was always a guest at our barbecues.
Good for you 👊 a little kindness goes a long way. I probably would’ve offered to buy that dog from the owners since they kept him outside 😢
❤❤ love that
This is the point, the UK has a lot of kids getting mauled recently ( probably just more reporting) because crime is high people get dogs and treat them bad. Then they attack anything. Mine always know they have to sit and get introduced to new people, have a good sniff. Job done.
Yuck shoulda gave that rib eye steak to my cat homies instead we run the block
Thank you for giving that dog a reason for living. ❤
People need to train their chihuahuas like this I've never met a well behaved one
And they are more likely to bite.
As an accidental chihuahua owner I can concur. I had to retrain him how to be an actual dog and not an accessory...
They just shouldn't buy those little shits
I never understood chihuahua hate 😅 cuz I’ve had plenty and my grandma also but we did train them (more like showed dislike to certain behavior )
mine doesn’t even bark idk why and most of my grandmas chihuahuas didn’t bark either but since they where all family I guess it was probably genetic??🤷🏻♀️
mine is actually really well behaved 😭 he's genuinely sweet, he doesn't bark or bite unless he sees or hears an animal walking near the house or if he sees someone breaking in. he's a good dog you just have to treat them like babies 😅
You can tell how well that dog is trained by how gently he took the treat. Patient, calm, and obedient. Great job.
How hard or how gentle a dog takes a treat literally has zero indication of how well trained a dog is

It's refreshing to see someone own a guard breed who isn't delusional about how dangerous their dog is.
Yeah, this man respects the fact that he has a dog that would gladly snap someone’s spine. Better than 99.99% of people that own breeds like this.
A good owner keeps their dogs out of unsafe situations cuz most people are idiots around dogs.
@@katiekane5247 your dog is never other people's responsibility. If You own a dog, you are responsible for everything it does. Regardless of how other people act around it.
@@steakslapn9724well that’s a stupid fucking statement, if you put your face in a dogs face and get bit, that’s YOUR fault not the owner
@@steakslapn9724 facts. Most owners are too lazy to train their dogs properly which is why 95% of the time dogs go ballistic when people knock on the door. Essentially it is the dog that runs the house, doesn't respect the owners.
Look at how quickly his little tail changes from when he's barking up into when they shake hands. The dog is very well trained to realize that everything is ok and he can go out of attack mode
There is no substitute for intelligence. Smart dogs are more likely to pick up on things like that and not attack people for no reason. I suspect most dog attacks are due to dogs being inbred, being mistreated to the point of being feral, or outright taught to be aggressive. Deep down they have an inclination to love people.
what tail?
@@adabsurdum5905it's the thing with pit bulls owners treat them bad on purpose and chain them so they can be more aggressive
That little stub kills me lol
Its wagging so fast it blurs.
The wagging speed shows how happy he is that he can be nice to his friend again
Yea he didnt need to make him sit or anything u saw this tail and u knew hes friendly now
@@AIMusicFFsuch tail wags are NOT ALWAYS happiness, it could also come playfullness and exitement
Uncle Jeff is always a victim
The way he talks about Uncle Jeff is specific enough that it makes me think he's based on a real dude. RIP Jeff.
Im picturing Kenny from South Park lol
😂
no, the child is always the victim of uncle jeff.
I had an uncle Jeff. Wasn't a victim but he had a few.
Having been mauled by a dog at 7 and survived, it is at the utmost importance to teach children to not “freely” go up to ANY dog and feel like they can pet them. There are a couple ways to introduce yourself before you try and touch them. (It was our own dog that my parents adopted from the local pet facility, so we were surprised). A dog is not just a pet, it is a RESPONSIBILITY!
Thank You!
So true. I was 4 and a half when I was attacked by a German shepherd. I'm 46, and I still have the scars.
Understand individual dogs and learn how they are. Not all dogs like kids
same! l was 11.. long story but yes a dog they told me to take out to 'go' .. l will tell you different breeds hav innate commonalities..!
what this man is doing is Communicating w/the dog!
thats still no guarantee..! be Careful of the breed! (that looks like a cane corso) very aggressive breed but can be managed!! put bulls watch out for..! (also kangals, doggo argentino and presio canario..!) but those last 3 are not legal in the US (l dont think..) just be Careful and RESEARCH the breed you interact with..!
@@jenniferbates2811 They are just defending themselves. There little dog brains need you to earn their trust before approaching just like in the wild. When an animal approaches them they assume that animal wants to eat them. lol
@@williamlevy6964 I know that. I wasn't saying anything indifferent. My dad rescued "bully" breeds my whole life.
I was bitten on my eye & another time on my ear as a 4 year old. But I only remember crying in my grandmothers arms. Our dog was mean & bit everyone. He guarded me but I also didn't understand my boundaries so he also checked me too. To his credit he could have hurt me more but to didn't break skin too bad.
I don't ever think about it & it hasn't changed how I approach dogs today at all.
My German Shepherd was never trained to be a guard dog but just knew how to be one when I had my baby. No one was allowed to roll up on our stroller.... he would warn u first with a deep look and a stern low growl. If I stepped in front of my stroller to greet... then he knew this person is safe. My husband use to be in the military so it felt good to know I had a intelligent, strong dog to leep keep us safe at home
It's a shepheard, it's a guard dog by nature. Tf
Lol my dog is a shepherd mix and he absolutely knows when I am expecting someone to come. He recognizes certain names and looks excitedly for them, but even if he doesn’t know the person, if I tell him 10 minutes out that we are having company he reacts completely differently than he does when someone is unannounced.
Rottweiler I met: during the day: chillest Dog ever, in the yard behind a shop, friendly to everyone.
As soon as the shop closes, the sun goes down, the kids are home: you do NOT want to step 1 foot on the property.
Dog knew the difference between "people are welcome" and "what the fuck are you doing here?" 💯
Yep i grew up with a rottie and an idiot neighbor kid tried to bully me and the dog..once
@@moustachio334 they sure know what kids are, and REALLY prioritize protecting them. Funny to see mothers that were against Rottweilers once they catch that part "so this dog would rather die than let someone harm my kid? Where are the treats?"
@@moustachio334 rip the bully.
Day time: happy hour boy
Night time: doom guy's dog
I like how he is hyping up his dog like "let him bite the snack, not your arm" and "don't eat him, blue" while the dog is just wildly wagging his little nub of a tail 😂😂 love it. So well trained even though I know the dog could mess up damn near anyone walking
Dogs don't just wag their tail when they're happy. A nervous/stressed out dog will also wag it's tail.
Tail wagging isn't always a sign to approach a strange dog.
God, what a gorgeous dog.
That dog is ugly
EVERY owner and dog should be taught to do this as standard. I've never seen this basic simple instruction anywhere before. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
I do tell my Rottweiler when someone’s coming, when it works best is when we order food. If I don’t tell her, she barks at the buzzer but if I say,”foods coming” when the buzzer goes, she’s chill. People need to talk to their dogs more.
@@Misklick that’s not true. Dogs can absolutely understand words. Experts think up to 165 words.
@Seonaid Martin it depends on the tone in your voice! Sm
I always let my dog know when someone is coming over. He 100% understands.
A specific word works best for me. When it gets close to time for people to arrive I just say “company”, and no barks and very chill. If someone knocks unannounced, or worse case (my dad once) does the knock-open, she’s in full-on guard mode. My dad was fine btw; just almost crapped himself.
@@conaldeugenepeterson2147 it’s why I was baffled when that guy said @dogs don’t understand your words”. Um, yeah, they do. I do the same thing, I say “so and so’s coming” and she knows.
The dog’s demeanor was relaxed the entire time, he knew that guy and was letting you know he was there. I have a Central Asian Shepherd, if you are not a family member you will go nowhere, period. He will keep you where he wants you, disobey and you will get warned, again and you will be bit. True guardian dogs only use violence as a last resort.
Imagine if there was a todler instead of Jeff XD
@@CJ-wh7ik any decent guardian breed would just herd the kid, typically towards people it knows.
Silly dog, I’m not locked in here with you, you’re trapped in here with me
The dog was wagging it's tale (or whatever is left of it), so it can't be that stressed.
@@AnonyMous-jf4lc pitbulls' favorite snack is a baby (read dog on human attack statistics lol)
Blue was like “well thank you for the beef treat”
I have a bullmastiff and let me say. Guardian dogs are the sweetest dogs out there.
If you train the.right. Guard dogs have a more inate propensity to do what this guy is talking about.
Owners need to do their job or don't get one.
Our UPS guy defeats our guardian dogs. He always brings treats. The dogs love it when he comes.
And my setter can go from a deep sleep to excited by the sound of a UPS truck driving by because of those treats.
"No problem if he takes his arm off- he'll still have one left." 👍
😂😂😂
🤩😎😂🤣right. How many does a body need anyway?!?🤳🦾
Or one right depends on how he turns.
@@jeromeslack462 👍😂😎😆🤣
That's why nature gave us two of them 😂
Look at that waggy butt boy! Lol I love it! Beautiful well behaved Cane. 💜
I adopted a GSD.
And for god sake he turns out to be a Working line GSD.
At the age of 4 month he did the same with my brother who came for his Break. He didn't Recognise the Walking Sound of him and Just Rocked on him, I Wistle him to stop thank to god.
He is the best and most Intelligent GSD I ever owned.❤
You actually can tell your dog someone is coming. I'd find out my mom was coming over and about 15-30 before she got here I'd start asking my dog "do you want to see grandma" and "where's grandma" then "is grandma here" and finally "grandma's coming" and "you get to see grandma". By the time mom got here she was all excited to see her, and would even go to the door several times sniffing and crying so she could smell if she was here before she arrived so I know she didn't forget.
Freaking grandma
🐕
Dogs are smarter than we give em credit for, I mention, let's go for a ride & my dogs start piroetting around the house like crazy!
My pitbull runs to the window if you say the word "grandma"
@natashka1982 dogs are so cute w/ their mannerisms!
Plus, dogs do have different vocalizations. Timing between barks and tone are very important. All I heard from Blue was "hey hey hey hey hey" there was no vicious aggression in it.
yep that's what I heard as well. "hey hey hey I see you and am communicating to others that someone is here." Blue knew who he was lol but still good tips.
He absolutely can communicate that to the dog. We may think they don't understand us but they do. They understand us better than we could ever imagine.
You can't communicate w a dog. You jus can't. Dogs hear tone and inflection.. They don't recognize words in English "hey uncle Jeff is coming at 3pm so be ready when he gets here
We really have to stop humanizing dogs. Their animals. Useful and loyal but they are still animals and we have to train them accordingly.
They don’t speak English and they can’t tell time be quiet the only thing the recognize is tone and vibrations
I love how blue wiggles his butt with his tail he looks so cute when he sat down🥺
Look at that butt wag and shake how happy he is once he realizes who he is. They r great dogs my grandparents had 2 when I was growing up. Such gentle giants. Lots of love ❤️
I’m training my dog. This info has helped!!
I say that all the time so people just don’t run up on me so I’m in control and then invite them. You definitely don’t wanna run up to my Mastiff 😂 Dogs are always in training and so are their owners 💪🙏🏼 Stay Blessed
@@Phas3It same with my American bully, he will not stop growing. His jaw pressure is scary, best dogs on earth as well
Train it to bite infants
My brother has this exact same dog and I remember him training him as a puppy. One day we were out of town and he had the puppy caged because he wasn’t yet housebroken, but the dog would not stop barking. I remember telling him to let the puppy roam and search the house and he might quiet down. Instantly it worked! A few minutes later, nothing. I thought it was super cool at the time for a puppy to want to flex and show off his new skills. These dogs are super intelligent and make wonderful guard dogs. Nowadays, I wouldn’t go near the dog but I feel better knowing my brother picked an excellent breed of dog to guard his growing family. 💯 👍🏽
He’s so handsome
It's good to announce yourself and talk to them as well.
You look like Stinchfield haha my favorite news anchor.
The fact that the owner had the treat and blue ignored it and went immediately back to guarding the gate speaks volumes to his guardian training.
😂😂😂
You mean breed. That's a pit bull eyeing a pork chop being told to back off by the person who actually feeds him.
It speaks to the fact that once this devil breed locks on to someone's child there's nothing but hot brass and lead that will stop it.
@@hunterpro_1 devil breed?
Indeed. And when the automous defense robot kills a child or mauls a passerby the dog is put down and the owner goes to jail. You live in a society: Your responsibility to see your protection is secure
This is actually very thoughtful in the way you advised your guy to approach the gate, and just chill wait for the dog to get used to his presence and tell him to sit. I've actually used these methods on my friends Rotty. Super friendly dog, however, if I just rock up, he gets defensive.
I have a neo and he’s the same way. You have to make sure that he is aware that whatever is in front of him isn’t a threat. And the positive reinforcement for responding accordingly is perfect. Good video!
The wiggle butt 🥹 I don't care how scary Blue thinks he is, he's so cute lol
The worst thing you can do is be afraid, they feel it.
What a generic statement
You mean they smell your fear right?
@@davidbgooch9587 nah the feel it💯
@@baberhamlincoln4274 no they actually go off the smell you admit when you are afraid
So I’m supposed to smile with this big ass dogs staring me down.
Worked around a lot of dogs as a utility locator. A lot try to act big and bad but once I've crouched down and extended a hand to let them sniff, they were instantly my best friend. I've had more dogs jump on me to lick me to death than attempt biting me. It's always fun when they're friendly
Blue's got those big back end wiggles! Big beautiful boy!
The way he was wagging his tail, he was excited to see the kid
That was a beautiful interaction. When I deal with a guardian breed i ALWAYS let the dog sniff me and wait for the owners before I interact with the dog... I understand that they're protective of their domain. You see the second that dog realized who Justin was from his body language, he was ready to greet him with love and affection!
Pitbull realized it wasnt a todler.
I was thinking the same! You can tell by the butt wiggles he knew exactly who he was and it is so cute!
Blue was so happy and non threatening when the guy was at the gate.
Cane Corsos are one of the most striking breeds I've seen in real life! Beautiful dogs.
The way the puppy wiggled its butt it so cute. Such a good pup 😊❤
As a delivery driver that drives a big brown truck for a living I can tell you, 9 times out of 10, if the dog's tail is wagging they're not gonna bite even if they're barking. Be calm and friendly and slow and don't be tense or afraid. Dogs sense that and you'll make them tense and afraid.
Yea i had a Rottweiler. He never barked if he was going to attack someone. He had to once and it was without warning to me. A neighbor was bullying me and teasing my dog. The teenager slipped and his arm got stuck on our side of the fence. Yes, he almost had to get an amputation. Some people are just dumb.
@@moustachio334 it's funny you say that because my high school girlfriend's stepmom had a Rottweiler and I came to pick her up one summer day with the top down on the old 93' Mustang lol
I knew the dog was not friendly but it was just laying on the porch right in front of the steps that my car is pulled up to, with its head laid down looking at me. I was debating getting out but I had to go to the door so I tried walking up slowly and nice with pauses every few steps and he never moved, just watched. Then just as I started to hit the steps he snapped and flipped out like in the scary movies 😂
I couldn't run so I just froze and finally stepmom comes out and just screams at it and jerks him around and he stops smh
Had she not been home it would've been a bad day. I kept thinking even if I run for the car, the top is down🤯💩
As a little girl I was afraid of cocker spaniels, jack russell terriers and other dogs of that size. I don't know why this happened, but when I was about 12 years old, I went home after school with my friend. She lived outside town on a semi large piece of land so they had a Rottweiler as a family pet and to guard their property. When we got out of the car I followed my friend and her sis when they hopped over the gate. Her Mum only noticed I was with them after her dog started running. I had already stopped in place showing my side to him and I spoke calmly using his name and showed no fear. He slowed up a bit and checked with his owner, sniffed at my hand (I had my arms by my sides), then did a sit when I told him to. After that he ran off to bring us a stick and came back with the branch of a tree 😂 My friend's Mum was baffled that I knew not to run or freak out. I can't remember why I was so calm. In my late teens I also had a German shepherd run at me on a beach. He got away from his owners and I was walking just ahead of my parents. I heard him coming, turned around and he basically jumped up and put his front paws on my shoulders. I had no fear reaction at all, even though he was taller than me. I just held him up gently, told him he was a good boy and then eventually he hopped down. I still don't understand my reaction, but I'm thankful to still have all my fingers and toes 😂
Dog is literally just excited someone is there
The slide whistle when he sat down was awesome!!!
You always gotta remind them. Don't eat'em.
True so true my grandparents dog once tried to eat me because I was trying to give her owner a hug which was my grandfather and that dog was a husky
That was no dinner for blue. Just a snack 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Very educational and amazing content. Please keep teaching the dog world needs this! Dogs are not bad it's the owners who raise them without knowing these things.
Good example of different breed behaviors and how to handle them. Most people don't even google the type of dog they own, ever. Bad owners, not bad dogs!
My two GSD'S are very chill when out on leash ( we still muzzle them bc people are stupid and let off leash dogs rush them) and when my husband is home....they turn into guardians the minute it's just myself and them. I'm deaf and they take protecting me very seriously.
He's just curious and wants headpats from his new friend.
That dog smelled him and was happy as hell.
The way he was so gentle while he was getting the treat as well is an extremely good sign of restrain and training, well done!
Blue has sure turned out to be a beautiful dog. Thank you again Garrett. Hope you have a great week.
Isn't that a truly magnificent animal?
Blues tail was wagging so much he was doing a lil' dance 😂❤
when the dog wants to perform the security clearance
I tell my chihuahua when a person he knows is coming. He starts looking for them. This dog can be told that he is coming. About 15 minutes before or even 30 minutes before.
They understand bro
Same.
I love how realistic you are with the dogs. Going to be doing these type of exercises with my girl..
That’s a good pupper! So cute!
Well behaved dog and very obedient ❤
I had a male neo that was very protective. I would tell people to just not even acknowledge him when they came through the door, and to let him set the pace. For them to come into the house, be seated, and pretend that he didn't exist. To not even look directly at them. Then after he got relaxed and comfortable around them, I would give them a treat to give to him.
But I do so appreciate that you are teaching people that there is a right way to meet guardian breeds
And... for anyone that walks into a yard, and discovers a protective dog when it is too late to avoid a "meet and greet" don't stare at the dog, don't panic, and don't extend your hand. Just kind of pretend that the dog isn't there, or keep your back turned to the dog. Let them sniff, and see who you are. It is very bad etiquette in dog language to attack someone who isn't even looking at you. I had avoided getting bit many times by doing this. Even by dogs that were known biters, that the owners didn't have the decency to tell me, after inviting me over, but not telling me about their dog.
Dumb advice. Good way to get ur friends mauled and lose all ur dogs
Can we talk about his booty wiggle after smelling his hand. I love when dogs get excited. they’re so cute.
Knowing how cute blue is and knowing he could bite off my leg is awesome
His tail wag makes me happy
I love how Blue is shaking his booty😂❤
Blue is such a good boy and he is so cute
Blue was so gentle with the treat
My corso hadn't seen me in a couple months and was a bit shy but got over it fast. Waiting for me to come to bed now. They are great guardians.
hahah you can't scare him like that
Blue is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL dog! Thank you for training him so well and for sharing him with the world online. ❤️
Would be more beautiful if his ears weren’t cropped
I think his happy indicator as short as it is was a good sign
Always let the dog sniff you while you are close to the owner, it calms them down
Dont know if Blue was stressed here, his bark was high pitched and he walked around in circles in what looked like excited frustration that he saw a friend but couldnt greet him properly. Blue was beside himself with happiness to see his friend again.
The hair standing on his back says otherwise
😂😂😂 The sound effect when Blue sits 🤣🤣🏆
Blues Body language Said very clearly that He was'nt going to bite anybody. Great Dog experts.
You gotta check in with the dog before you have people over? That’s crazy 😂
Delusional pitbull owner “guard dog”
Should have told him to sit b4 giving him the beef wrap 👍
I think he was terrified for his life 😂
Nah he’s fine, if he should have told him to sit, the professional dog trainer would’ve said so, dogs don’t always have to do tricks or need commands to be praised, the dog did good with the gate entry and now he gets rewarded with a treat which also bonds the kid with the dog
Many can't think that much when a 140 pound killing machine is sniffing you
@@RamboOnYaMom not true. By making him sit for the treat it shows that the human is alpha and in control. It teaches the dog to respect that person. The dog should have been put in a sit and stay by the owner and then had the person enter. This is telling the dog that it is okay to allow him in and there is no threat. Then give him a release and have him sit for the treat from the person entering. By allowing the dog to intimidate a person at the gate shows the dog he is in control not the owner. Which can lead to the dog thinking they are in control in other situations.
@@charliegordon2266 nope the dog has already done the job that he wanted, he already knows who the boss is lmao🤣 maybe when you’re training a dog yes but this dog is already trained
He was waiting for that treat.
That’s how a gaurd dog should react not aggression but alertness
No that’s just how any dog should act, alert. Guard dogs should be guarding by any means necessary. That boy wouldn’t have even been allowed to stand at that gate by a tru guard dog.
You can 100% set a schedule with dogs. They can keep track of time through scent. My dog knows exactly when I'll be coming home from work because the scent starts to deteriorate
They do know how daylight works through windows my guy
I like that table/platform of logs. Looks good.
Blue fell in love with Justin as soon as you shook his hand, did you not see that nubbie wagging? 😂
That’s a good looking animal!
Farmers daughter invited me over,
I met the farm dog on the way in the house.
Leaving the house on our way to a bonfire, the dog came over and without a sound bit my leg.
Father nearly passed out laughing,
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Dog is old 😂 forgot you were introduced as ok, so it bit you.
🙄
Thanks a lot for NOT warning me your guard dog is senile.
Overprotective farmer didn't want his daughter having any suitors.
BLU3 IS SUCH A GOOD PUPPYY ❤🥺
Beautiful creature.
Make sure to send your dogs a txt on who's coming over, it helps.
Guard dogs aren't 'bad' or 'evil'. They can be aggressive, but that's just what they've been bred for; to keep something safe. People need to respect that, respect their size and respect their boundaries.
Blue is a beautiful dog ❤
trained my dog with your methods exactly!
really love the work you're doing garret :)
People don’t get this. They will walk right into the yard, and say “oh I met him at your sisters house, and he likes me”. Context matters. Walking into the yard unannounced is not OK!
ehh depends how familure the dog is with the individual and how well the owner has them trained
That dog not for 1 second was going to bite that guy. He clearly remembered him. He was not stressed. If you look at the dogs language. He actually wanted him to come through the gate. He was happy to see him.
He is one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen I love the term your guardian
Not all family and friends are going to have the common sense to let you know they are coming, or to stay off the yard with the barking dog. So best to also put a sign up instructing them to wait until you can meet them at the gate.
my mail man is the only person my Fin is cool with and he still acts like he hates him when he can't see him
I don’t know NOTHING about training dogs but this is how I introduced my mailman to my pit. I ran an EBay business at the time. I needed him to be comfortable picking up my packages. My dog looked forward to it. I got a wagon and he pulled it to the gate lol 😂. They became really good friends.
