- Socializing your dog is one of the critical things that people often fail in with their dogs. Who should your dog meet and who should they avoid? I give a brief talk to get you some basic information on getting your dog socialized with people. This is a lecture format video without dog demonstrations, one you should definitely watch!
All dogs must be socialized if at all possible... its best to do this with young puppies, but even in later months - it is critical for a well balanced dog that the puppy be socialized.

Hi Robert, I wanted to thank you for probably saving my young Malinois'' life today. A rabbit was in the front yard all morning and she opened the gate and went hunting. Your video on recall work which we've been working on for 2 days allowed me to override the extreme prey drive and retrieve her. Gratitude.
That means the world to me. Thank you for training your dog!!!
which video was that , can you give me a link
my 7 month old Kelpie cattle cross leaves most things alone . although magpies test him
I took my already super well socialized sport dog out in public, I try to pay attention to who is staring at my dog with anticipation and looking friendly....especially if they are on crutches, or in a wheelchair or walking with a limp really tall....wearing a hat....anyhhing out of the ordinary is a huge bonus......I walk up to that person and ask if they will feed my dog a snack....adding that the dog has to sit to get the snack.....I then give the command to sit......and the person gives the dog the treat....maybe I provide a second and third snack...depending on how well it went....when I call my dog back to me.....I have steak or freeze dried liver something really great...or I whip out one of theor favourite toys.and call the into a short obedience routine and then launch right into a play session. Then moving a way from the person...call my dog to me and watch to see if the dog's attention lingers at all on the person.
Took our puppy to the soccer tournament. Plenty of treats as she relaxed with us. She actually got lots of compliments!
Hey Robert! You are my hero!
I am getting a Giant Schnauzer puppy @ 10 weeks and I will continue to like and watch as many of your videos as possible before he comes home ❤️
Absolutely awesome advice for anyone whether owner, trainer, walker, boarder...
Great advice!
Well explained as always. As you rightly said,being selective is key regards people and kids. Luckily for my pups I live near a school so I just let them watch the kids go by on their cycles,scooters etc. Zed had lots of rides on mobility scooters. I think most importantly is showing the pup the World.To let them feel textures under their paws. Grwat information on a mostly misunderstood topic. Thank you Robert : )
Thank you. Nice video.
Very good video on a very important matter 👍
Can't wait for video on barking and jumping for attention
Have a10 month old Dobie high energy
This guy is so good
U r awseome in trainning ..plz never delete ur videos...once i grow up i am gonna be a trainer like u...and plz lern us how to socialize a dog
Thanks for the advice.
Perfect, thank you. My approach exactly. This is confirmation ❤
Awesome. When my gsd was 8/9 weeks, before he had all his injections, I took him out in a puppy pram everywhere, kids school, traffic, building works, shops and armed with tons of tasty treats. And a lick mat for scarey places I knew he would get a little scared at. Used it for a few months when we did GSRE walks for charity where he couldn’t do the full walk but still got to join in. Worked a treat and now at 1 year and 4 months, I can take him anywhere. Doesn’t even look when joggers, cyclists etc go past. Best thing I did for him.
Fantastic advice and so many people do not understand how important all these things are - even many trainers. I have always done this with my dogs - but still ended up with one of them who is suspicious and nervous around people who are afraid of dogs - but great with everyone else. But then, I put this down to a bad experience when she was a pup. We were walking past a woman on the street who looked down, saw my pup (a little puppy!!!) and started screaming and waving her arms around. Scared me let alone my pup. I guess you cannot control everything....sighs...
Thank you for what you do. I’ve been watching your videos way before I became a dog trainer
This was great. My issue is with other dogs, since we don't have many "safe" dogs in my neighborhood. We attend trainings at a local club and my dogs are great there. They are horrible in public when we run into dogs that are even mildly reactive. The problem arises in that practically ALL of them are reactive/leash aggressive toward other dogs. I'm still trying to teach the GS that I am still in control no matter how crazy the other dog is acting. Thankfully they are all on a leash!
I really like your fast talking short video. Direct to the point without wasting my time.
Cheers Mate!
Makes sense. Thanks. :)
Yes!
I've worked to get my 10 month old GSD around all types of people, eventually want to do hospital therapy or search & rescue--he's been socialized super well so far--but NEVER occurred to me to get him around wheelchairs and seek out elderly...THANKS ROBERT!
My dog was growling at a garden gnome the other day.
I thought he had seen a cat but then we walked past another garden ornament and it fright the life out of him.
He's been friendly with people and then he barks at them, it's all new to me and I've been training him but now I have found a really nice professional lady dog trainer.
She's perfect and I have never met anyone so calm.
Where do i email questions? Like your style very mellow. Been watching you for nearly 2 years. Helped so much with my Young Border collie Ripley!
Thanks
Very good advice i like ypur methods anyways there proven to work. Im in the faze now if socializing my hound and hes doin really well better then i thaight but i worked him up to it iove watching him realize how hige the world is and waych his brain work and how he responds so enjoyable i learn as much as the dog does please keep up what your doin these positive only people are tryi g to destroy real trainers like yourself so i wanna thank you for what its worth
EXCELLENT, Robert!!! GSM
Great information here : )
Omg !! GSM 😁
Great video! A "Ask me anything" question: What should I do about puppy biting? Is bite inhibition a real thing? Or does the biting need correction?
It took ages for my Cane Corso to get used to me in my motorcycle suit and helmet. He would bark, run away, and then pee when I’d get close. He’s fine now but it was a surprise. He was even fine with the motorcycle running, but not me.
Your videos are great! In most of your videos you talk very clearly and not fast. This one is hard for me even with closed captions. Not a compaint, my observation and exspiereance. Thanks for the great teaching videos, BOB.
sorry! I'll be more conscious of it!
I have wanted a dog since I was a little kid, and I haven’t been able to get one in my adult life because I’ve not had the time or resources to get one. I have been doing a lot of research on the many different breeds of dogs, and I have started watching your videos to start preparing myself to be able to properly train the dog when we get it. We still don’t know when, we know we will be ready for a dog in probably the next 6 months to a year, but I’m currently a home school mom with 3 kids, 7, 4, and 10 months.
My older kids currently are really scared of dogs. They’ve unfortunately had several situations where the dogs invaded their space and were rude, so they are really timid around dogs, so I’m not really that worried that they will mishandle the dog, but I am worried about the fact that they are bringing fear into the equation.
Like I said above I’ve done a lot of research on different breeds of dogs, and we believe an Akita would be the best fit for our family. We want a level headed guard dog that won’t bark too much, and won’t get in our faces. I understand socialization is really key for this breed as well as having a handle on training.
How can I make the best intro for my kids to the dog or puppy? Also would you recommend adopting over getting a puppy? Like I said above I will be a brand new dog owner, but I’ve been doing a lot of research up to this point, and I’m hoping that my parenting skills will translate well into puppy/ dog mom skills. Thank you for answering my questions.
This is a great topic Robert. I had a German Shepherd who had severe fear aggression. I saw two different trainers - one said I should take him to dog parks and get him "exposed" (which incidentally, I didn't agree with for fairly obvious reasons) and another trainer advised not to socialise the dog AT ALL (which my gut said wasn't right). When I say at all, their philosophy (and they are a large international dog training company) was that dogs shouldn't be socialised period because in the "wild" dogs/wolves don't "socialise". They were of the opinion that dogs should be kept in the yard 24/7 and only be exposed to visitors who came to the house. Long story and I won't go into all the details, however, I disagreed with this view, as my dog was an extremely intelligent, active dog and he needed different stimulation. So this is an incredibly important area that should be addressed.

Good advice. Particularly for 8-12 week pups.
At 12 weeks puppies don't have all their shots and should not be around other dogs unless you want to pay for the vet's vacation
"Sloppy wet mess" killed me 😂 I can just imagine his self control face😂. Love your videos, by far the best dog trainer I've seen never mind on TH-cam.
Thanks. 😊
Sorry for all the questions but you're lessons are working so well for me and my new pup but what are your thoughts on raw hide bones for a puppy it seems to be the only thing to calm her down in her crate I've tried everything for a teething puppy
This is great advice! TYSM! I have a 16 week catahoula puppy and she’s very nervous. She has a corkscrew tail with every new situation. Even going out to the yard which she has done several times now, she is still nervous. I’m having an extremely difficult time socializing her and pitting training her. Do you have any advice on how to have her enjoy the world? I feel terrible and fear she won’t grow out of it.
This socializing approach is quite effective on neutral ground. But, socializing a dog can be much more of a challenge within the dog's own territory (i.e., at home). How do you overcome its territoral instincts when introducing a dog to a visitors on its own turf? Any thoughts?
That's a good point about variety of people. Our dog is a rescue from Ireland, and for quite a while he had serious issues where he'd bark at people who weren't White, especially if they were wearing something on their head like a turban.
Great video! I’ve got a 10mo GSP who has become reactive to strangers barking lunging when approached . Wanted to ask what your suggestions are to desensitize and make him know that that’s not the correct behavior when he does that? Thanks!!
My 16 month old Male GSD. Is very aggressive to delivery driver. Not so bad until I step out. Were consisting having him fixed, he is a very large dog. You thoughts and suggestions very appreciated.
Hello sir I am looking into getting a dogo argentino 5 month pup. I'm curious if he's to old to socialze or train being 5 months I want to give my dog the best life experience and I want to be the best owner I can.
Robert Cabral Great advice for getting your dog socialized. You should have a video the do's and don'ts at the dog park. I would be more than happy to help with talking points on that one. Ruby and I have been to many dog parks and we were regulars at the dog park till she got attacked by a dog that had an owner that had no clue about how to handle dogs.
i don't like dog parks. don't recommend!
@@RobertCabralDogs I personally love dog parks and so does my Ruby, at least till some fool comes to the dog park with an untaught aggressive dog. My Ruby got attacked a couple weeks before Labor day earlier this year. I wont go back to dog parks till I have my Ruby even better trained and I have a regular job. I really love teaching dogs. It was my passion years ago till I had to put down my last dog, I really love your videos and have actually learned a few new things to try in my own dog teaching. And I think a dog park do's and dont's would be an awesome video for you to have. You seem to have a real passion for teaching others and want to keep dogs safe. Dog parks are becoming more and more popular. Here in Kansas City we have 30 off leash dog parks. Plus I really would love to see what you would say to keep your dog safe at a dog park and I would be more than happy to help with your video as well.
@@RobertCabralDogs and may I ask why you do not like dog parks? About the only thing I do not like is owners who do not give their dog proper teaching before going to a dog park. Plus I think this message would be awesome coming from you. That if you are to take your dog to a dog park give it proper schooling first.
I agree . You bringing your dog into a realm of no control and you don’t see a place of control . Ex. my dogs in training had a toy poodle attack them and everything was cut short.
How do I ask a question? I have a 4 yo gsd and a 5 month gsd. Training the pup is awesome, she's so good and focused when we're alone. The problem is walking her with my older dog. She ignores me completely and just focuses on the other dog. I've tried upping the rewards but she's not interested. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
My American bulldog gets really excited when he meets other people, especially when they come to my home. What can I do to make him calm down? I have all the books and I’m really stuck what to do. Especially because he so powerful but it more excitement because he only just a year old.
How to train a Rott for urination at the age of 2 yrs?My Dog can pass urine anywhere in the home premises
This video!!! 😍 fantastic timing. Thank you so much. Robert i have a question please. My dog does not like me that much. I know its the same as with people. Some of us just arent that interested in some people. She only really cares if im there if i have treats. She is obedient to me ONLY when she thinks she is going to get a reward. Ive hand fed her, ive limited her interaction with other people in the hopes of getting her to pay more attention to me. Ive tried being more exciting (which is difficult as im s boring person 😂😂) ive even fed her using your famous mouth technique. Nothing. She tolerates me, she doesnt mind me fussing her but other than that nothing i do gets her tail wagging like the rest of my family, she is extremely happy with them and works for them even when they dont have treats. We just dont have that “bond” people talk about. Ive watched several of the videos you have talked about how to bond with your dog. Are there any more exercises i could do to get her to bond with me? I am the only one home during the day, im the one who feeds her and im the one who walks her every day. So i genuinely am at a loss as to what i may have done to make her like this. She looks at me in the way you look at that annoying co worker who you know you cant get away from but you have to tolerate because you like getting paid 😂😂😂 please help robert im desperate for help here
I'm in the same boat as you here. But I just moved and don't know what to do other than a good structured walk, 4 times a day. PLEASE help
You may have picked a dog that's not compatible with your personality. Some dogs are naturally aloof & standoffish. Yours doesn't seem very affectionate, which you can't change. They respect confident owners, so you have to respect her preference for space.
I took my Male to the wrong dog club for training he was already well trained it was mostly for socializing which it the only thing he needed ,I live alone and do not have people coming and going ,since my kids flew the nest. Well they hated GSD 'S at the club ! I didn't know it I should have know when the lady said German Shepherds are so unpredictable while she was being jumped on by her Golden retriever. My boy did everything in class!! for 4 months no one touch him or interacted with him he was a big puppy at 4 months old 55 pounds .Well finally after 4 months I asked would someone please hold my dog for his stay command ,the only person whom would was a huge tall guy and when he went for the leash Isaac barked at him .Isaac knew no one liked us I didn't because I never went to classes before or a dog club .Isaac has a great temperament is great with other dogs ,cats birds even left the cat eat his big meaty bone .I still get upset 5 years later I waisted 4 months where we were not wanted .I thought a controlled place was better then a dog park and I love learning new stuff .I learn dog club people are very stuck up and it a dog eat dog world .My Isaac was so behaved and did everything I told him was not all over the place like the fu /fu little dogs barking . Clubs like that call themselves trainers when the were breed prejudice !
the problem is with other children that you don't know and they ask can i have a pat, you don't know what theyre going to do, so its very hard to guess. Also would you recommend the dog meets other people once the 3rd and final vaccination is done at 16 weeks?
Do not guess. A child and its parents can hear you clearly say that the dog is working and is your dog and is not for petting. No apology is needed to strangers.
I feel it is a compliment to have people wanting to pet my dog.
My dog (Dutchie / Mal mix) has been socialized a TON, yet when we go on walks he always barks at people (while wagging his tail). He has been nothing but friendly as far as letting people pet him, it's just intimidating to others when he does it, is this a normal quality of a 14 moth old puppy?
Thanks for the video, it’s very helpful, although do you have resources about what you mentioned on 4:08 - how to make it controlled?
For example my wife had a situation when she went to a dog park, and our Lab was more interested in other guy (even more other dog owner than the dog itself) across the park than the owner - my wife. How should we make this controlled in park where all other dogs are freely running around without the leash? This continued with the play with the other dog which had spikes around the neck and it struck our Lab, when she started to flee away and look for the holes in park fence. Thankfully everything ended fine when Lab found my wife and she was able to calm her down.
But still, she is not afraid to visit the dog park, nor is afraid of the owners, nor other dogs, although she prefers humans more than dogs.
Train outside the park. Dog parks are terrible places to socialize your dog. Most owners don't have a clue what signals their dogs are giving out and parks tend to be a free for all. Work your dog at the fence. It can be difficult to find humans to greet your dog -- with a 7 month old Golden Retriever everyone thinks "friendly" and rushes to pet (my pup is extremely excitable and I need very calm greetings) .they also say "I don't care if he jumps on me." ... well, I care -- you have to be ok with being what some people would consider rude and stop people before they get to you and say "I am training my dog,. If you would like to pet him and give him a treat I would like to tell you how to first." I have found that most people are very cooperative and it gives you a great chance to control the greeting. A few good places to do this are Lowes, Home Depot and Nordstrom. The floors at all of these places can be hard. Practice outside the doors before you work inside.
Could you do a segment on how to help a young rescue dog to be socialized. I rescued a young, lovely female mid size dog, fearful but with me and my walker, increasingly happy. But when we walk her in town on weekends and a family interested in her goes to pet her, she growls. What more can I do?
I have an almost 5 year old Belgian Malinois mix who, while she's never growled at anyone trying to pet her, will move out of their reach.
I tell people not to pet her (I'm polite about it, but insistent). She has no bite history, and I don't want her feeling threatened (it took 7 months to desensitise her to people. She will sniff them if they allow her to make the first move).
I think your dog might feel threatened (especially if people move toward her quickly). That growl is a warning that she's uncomfortable, especially if her body is stiff and her tail is either low or tucked.
“Ask Me Anything” question: how do I get my 4 year old Catahoula rescue to stop jumping up on people? We’ve tried all the conventional things recommended on TH-cam and by the behaviorist that led his obedience class.
grab and hold the paws
Ignore train. But you have to be fast. When he jumps or gets to hyped. Turn away and close up with your body language. Say off me. Or whatever command. One time. Wait until they give up and immediately drop down and praise them. Treat them. Lots of physical love from you. Stand up. Rinse repeat
Hello I have a 9month old mali I’ve only had him 3 weeks he’s reactive has gotten a lot better but bikes and joggers he still fears them /think they are gonna harm us is there any way you could tell me what training needs doing and I will certainly train him he’s good with kids just when they are on scooters/bikes out side of home he’s reactive
Fucking hate people that don't listen and set up my puppy for failure. My rottweiler puppy started to nip and bite more after people playing with him too rough. Very true
Hi Robert, i wrote yesterday about my german shepherd eating his poo but he is also barking uncontrollably every time i’m out of his site. I started out with a Vibrating collar that lasted about a week and then he just barked through it. All this has escallated in the last 10days and i’m getting a little overwhelmed by him. I have dogs for over 20years but never these kind of problems. Any help appreciated. Carole
My 4 year old Shiba Inu does not allow anyone other than me, family members he knows, and people he already knows to pet him. He does not allow people he does not know to touch him. How can I train my dog to allow people he does not know to pet him?
I have a 3 year old malinois, and I will bring another home soon, he is the son of the first one I have, what should I do to introduce him to the new member of the family? I am a little afraid that I will do something, what do I do?
Can you define puppy age? My dog is 7 months, is it too late?
Hey! I have a question, noones answered it yet and I was wondering if you could.
I have a 4 month lab, I've been very religious with her walks every day and night.
Problem that I have in my head is that, "what if I socialize my lab with so many people and dogs that one day if Im in danger, my dog just wants to love the offender?"
Question Robert what is the best way to stop my dog from nipping and pulling at my clothes? I have a 5 month old Mal
👍
Where do we submit ask me anything questions?
Same question. But i tried commenting on your facebook page
Question: I have my GSD/Pitbull, I brought him the the dog park for the 1st time yesterday, his obedience kicked right in with me, but also , he was very observant, and wasn’t aggressive in anyway, dogs kept coming up to him and sniffing him. I am just wondering if keeping my leash on him for the 1st time is a good idea? He doesn’t run from dogs, he just gets right into obedience role. And advice would be greatly appreciated.
JSiah keep him on a leash.
Dog parks are the worst place to take a dog
They're full of lazy owners, and out of control dogs
Don't wait for the bad experience to happen, and it will, it's only a matter of when
Even as a puppy, my dobie didn't "like" everyone. Treats and toys didn't matter. Pro trainer (black) made no difference. Uniforms and ethnicities aren't a factor. If he likes you he never forgets the introduction. However, he's a shrude judge of character . We do only obedience and agility... No bite work.
Question - how do you socialise an adult dog? We have an Australian Cattle dog who wasn’t socialised enough. He’s “shy” and weary, only likes dogs and people after he’s dated them a few times. What I mean is after he sees the same dog or person about 4-5 times they are his best friend for life! Unfortunately on first meeting his ears are back and cautiously sniffing. He’s a typical cattle dog and if someone tried to pat him he tried to either back away or warning nip in the air which is very typical cattle dog.
What would you recommend so I can work up to him bring more comfortable in the first or second date ? not sure how to progress from here.
missnars87 teach your dog place command and hold him accountable to stay there when visitors are over. New people don’t necessarily need to pet your dog, as long as your dog is comfortable in the vicinity of new people you should be okay
My girl loves other dogs but very people wary. I have found she is fine if I walk her down town now but started slowly, in less populated places. Never forced her to get close to people. If someone asked to say hi, I would advise of her wariness and instead of them coming too close would tell them to ignore her first to gauge her reaction. At the same time I would drop treats for her and move closer depending on reaction. If she went up to them, they kept hand by their side but not reach out to her. If she showed less anxiety, I would give them a treat for them to give to her. It took a few times before anyone actually got to pat her but she now will go up to some people quite happily. Very much a work in progress but you can't rush things. She hasn't had a lot to do with kids so I'm extra careful with them and only ones I can trust to listen to instructions are allowed close. I do take every chance to make positive experiences with kids and she is a lot better now. If someone has a dog with them, she seems to accept the person too. Strange but ...that's just her. She has been like that since we brought her home from foster care where she was born. I have no idea why, could be genetic or possibly imprinted off her mum who had been found roaming the streets. She is 2yrs now, highly intelligent, very loving to me and my adult kids and is so good with other dogs. She loves her training which also definitely helps with confidence. Watch your dog's body language. Don't allow the air snap, take control before that occurs as people usually step back which enforces it to the dog. If I snap, human moves away, thus dog wins. Try getting your dog to sit without the other person getting too close. Positive experiences are the objective.
I made the mistake of bringing by puppy around people but never letting them touch him. Now he's older and suspicious of everyone and I'm not sure how to fix it 😕
Apparently this step didn’t go so well with my dog. He is a bullmastiff. In puppy classes we finally stopped going because there was always someone there who was fearful of him and we got pushed to another room (and missed out on the instruction). Now I’m a new dog trainer (ABCDT) simply because my dog is a little dominant, he had issues with hyperarousal, and he is fearful of people who aren’t in our family (especially if he cannot flee). My approach has been to take him in public where I can give him positive experiences while managing others around us so they do not actually approach him. But I’m not sure how to progress him through or even if I’m doing this properly.
We have a 3 month old Vizsla and a 15 year old Jack Russell and the Jack has a hard time with the pups energy and play. The Jack rarely snaps to fend her off, and he does not want to play with her- but I wonder if the pup is or will pick up bad behavior living with a happy, but grumpy old man Jack Russell?
I'm getting a staffy pup next year. I'm single, though I do have visitors for him/her to meet often, but they'll mostly be the same people and also I live in a semi-rural area. So I've been worrying that a walk around the neighbourhood won't be enough to socialise my dog as we just may not come across anyone or any other dogs all that often. Would leaving it in a Doggy Daycare once a week or fortnight be something I should look at? I'm thinking it'll meet different people and dogs (especially dogs) under supervision. I have no need for dog-sitting as I work from home, but would it be good just for the socialisation?
You gotta socialize him. As important as feeding him.
@@RobertCabralDogs Yes I'm concerned about that, hence the question about leaving it in a doggy daycare once (more?) a week just to socialise. Would that help?
I'd be cautious of a doggy day care. A lot of the times they have little dogs who are babied, and therefore are nippy, etc. You don't know how they would be around them or anything, and your puppy may hate to be in an unfamiliar place alone. My staffy hates kennels for example, because it's away from home etc
Ripley's Log -- I think RC meant that YOU had to do the socializing; not sending your dog to doggie daycare by itself.
My issue in this area is I have an autistic son who is very hyper active. When we bring the puppy in he gets over excited and runs back and forth so the puppy chases him. With his limited understanding it’s near impossible to calm him down. We are not sure if to do small sessions of interaction because of how hyper things get or if keeping the puppy always there is better so it becomes less of an exciting thing?
I’d suggest creating the dog for some time and let him get used to the behavior.
My dog does not like autistic kids. He tries to avoid them at all costs due to a unfortunate incident at the vet when an autistic kid stomped his foot on his tail
Does that also apply for personal protection dogs
My dog goes inside different supermarket with persons of different nationality race Heights but does not do very well with all children
Please reply on what I might be doing wrong
he probably wasn't socialized around kids. you'll have to get him around kids in a super controlled manner and work it
Okay thank you I will try to do that
How to say a super controlled? Use muzzle?
Can u teach me how to stop leash pulling while your walking with your dog pls help me
I have a series on leash training plus a series on prong collar loose leash walking. check the dog training playlists
Can I let my 8 weeks old Mali run and play with older dogs? They are not aggressive, just running and playing in an open field
I would like my dog to meet as many people as possible but he just doesn't like strangers very much, both kids and adults. And bikes and cars. He tends to lunge at them. How do you make a dog behave in public? He is a 5 month old Thai Ridgeback.
"Ask a question" probably too late as an old video but my 14 week old doby has limited contact with other dogs ( we live in Slovenia) he goes to dog classes but no one let's their dogs play. I've asked for him to say Hiya to other dogs but it has only been on lead sniff, my neighbours dogs they have on lead jump around play and he is quite well mannered. But my other dog he bites him all the time in play and I keep stepping into stop it. He is gentle with my sheep, chickens and rabbits but can't stop this bitting my other dog. Worried it will cause problems when his older, how do I stop it?
Well now 10 months old great at home, but away from home his little life is a nightmare, I put details in a later comment. 😭
What do you do if your dog was attacked and is now dominant/slightly aggressive.?
Slow socialization. Positive experiences.
#THIS! 👆🏻
what if your dog keep jumping on people and other dogs,?
I acquired my Malinois at 7 months of age- I live across ag fields- he was dumped and I almost ran him over- he was dehydrated and confused-he does not like Mexicans with ball caps and beards. Make me suspicious as to the abuse he endured. What an amazing dog he is- glad he’s with me.
Question re: two brother Aussie shepherds, almost 2yrs old. They play fight regularly, but never to the extent that they draw blood, and I can always call them apart. Should I discourage this?
If it gets too escalated I would.
He is Right, Some Clown in the Park with 2 large dogs that he couldn't handle decided my puppies would love to play with his 2 unruly dogs. My puppies were terrorized and screaming to get away. My One puppy was lame from abuse, the other only weighed 6 pounds. I kept telling him my puppies are scared they don't want to play. Put this Clown insisted it would be Fine and kept letting his dogs smelled, jumped on and nuzzled my puppies as I was moving away. The one dog had the little puppy's head in his mouth and the Puppy cried in pain. Lucky the dog let go of the puppy's head but the bite mark was only 1/4 inch away from her eye. This Clown said that was nothing and wanted to know when I walked my puppies so they could get together and Play. Yeah Right! Two 70 pound dogs playing with one lame Rescue puppy and a 6 pound puppy. The Puppies would not Go for a walk for a month. The puppy that was bite still goes Crazy at the sight of another Dog. The lame one feeds into the other's Fear. My puppies were Doing Great until this Clown decided he Knew Best. Everyone before this Clown who saw my puppies asked first and petted or talked to them. People would stop their car, get out and pet my puppies. They became spoiled for the attention. Their personalities changed completely after the two big dogs they became reactive and. fearful. They bark at everything. They are Spooked. Screen what Dogs meet your Puppy and also the people and kids who might pull their tail or decided to grab their paw and shake their hand really hard. There's a lot of Clueless people out there.
Walk them at a Lowe's, find other stores in your area that allow dogs.
I just got a 10 week old GSD on March 31,2020. Had her 24 hrs now. I take her out in the front yard and if she even hears a dog across the street, across the fence, acts TERRIFIED and two ladies were walking up the street toward our yard...her ears go up and she takes a stance and stares but when they get closer, she cowers back and tries to pull me back inside the house. With sheltering in place I can't really socialize her. What do these actions tell me? How can I help her before she gets any older and stays scared of everything?
Most likely bad nerves (genetic level issue) and really cannot be fixed, only managed for the rest of the dog's life. I'm sorry.
Just adopted a 1-1/2 lab mix from the humane society. He has no interest in any chew toy or balls. Is this normal.. Stays at my side all the time. They told me he tries to mount all dogs. How do I socialize him. Thank you
Shelters are doggy jail. Barking, whining and doggy poop/pee 24x7. Not criticizing shelters just trying to say your dog is shell- shocked. Your dog probably just needs more time to re-learn how to be a pet dog/ human companion vs shelter dog.
PS Thank you for adopting a rescue dog so that one less dog has to be in a shelter.

I have a issue I can't let people pet my dog I'm not comfortable with it I feel bullied by my dad about it
Don't let other people dictate your life! You have to be a confident role model to your dog, and treat them with discipline yet with rewards when they do something good and just love. Get him to sit and to calm down a bit when someone asks to pet him, and after that he should be ready to go. :^)
I would adjust what you do a bit if needed.
Do you have at least friends or family or people who you know aren't bad to pet your dog?,
How to teach your dog to fetch
Well children are agood thing for your dog to want to avoid for a variety of reasons. Too many are just not aware of doggy stuff and some are malicious. Also parents tend to not want your dog to run up to their kids. And sometimes out if the blue a kid gets knocked down scratched or nipped in the face from exuberance. I prefer kids dont come up to my dog and i tell them better always be careful too. I love kids! Really i do. But most not with animals. The ones that are good with critters are some of the most wonderful souls out there and the are exceptional.
I was raised with dogs and taught at a very young age how to interact with them (my first dog was a German Shepherd, my second a Chihuahua/Toy Fox Terrier).
I think dogs and kids are great together, as long as both are taught how to interact. This means that adults have got to monitor the interaction until they're certain that both dog and kid can be trusted with each other.
Dogs have been some of the best teachers I've ever had.
Is it a good idea to let others/strangers give your dog treats? I myself don’t like it. He is very friendly with people and dogs.
When's the cut off age for this?
Never
@@RobertCabralDogs ok, great. Cause he's one now and still have some issues with cars passing by uptown. parked ones he doesn't care, moving ones he's nuts! I'm gonna have to get a prong collar.
what about a dog not a puppy? My dog doesn't accept people or other dogs, he is a 2 year old german shepherd
i dont believe there is a bad dog, just bad owner / trainors
So true👍
I don't want people petting my dog I feel it interferes with training I find it causes me anixiety I make my dog heel and sit
I like your show but do you think you could slow down when you read the questions it’s really hard to understand what you are saying
Kids at the park can be rascals to puppies. Have a stick with you, and if they attempt to poke your puppy, smack the kid !
I do not want strangers touching my dog that is what i got a watchdog for, we stay home and in our own yard.... walking dogs gets you attacked by roaming dogs and dumb nuts that will sick their dog on you!
My dog i used to have was a racist 😅 he didnt like black people
What about......The Mailman? … Or worse, Jehovah's witnesses? My GSD's (RIP's) would tear the door off the hinges for either of them.
