  • Aggressive dogs can be incredibly dangerous to both other dogs and you! Training an aggressive dog can be challenging but getting on top of the aggression quickly is important and must be done quickly.

    I've never read a book so fast! th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.

    I love the clarity of this. As a dog trainer, the hardest part is explaining to the owner and getting them aligned with the ethos. This is extremely useful, thank you.

    Found you a couple of days ago. Subscribed after just a couple of videos and have been blazing through your content ever since. I love how your approach is a combination of old fashioned common sense and not so common intuition, which, in my opinion, is the most effective way to handle most of what life throws at us. Also love the clean cut look you're sporting recently; it suits you.

    Excellent explanation! No Matter what your opinions, or your defined system of training, what Will is saying is spot on true!
    If you don't give your dog the leadership it's screaming for, it will do what it needs to, to achieve it themselves or give themselves the feeling of self preservation caused by fear, insecurities and lack of confidence in keeping other dogs away!

    you title this video “how to stop your dog being aggressive” but you don’t show any physical solution to the problem. i appreciate the psychological basis of your teachings and i love your input on the matter of how a dog thinks. but i do not think any of these tips are physically useful. we as subscribers don’t have any “homework” we could take home and physically apply to our dogs with the information given in this video. “be a confident assertive leader”. what does that look like? what are steps or exercises we should do to show that? When is the timing of the correction with aggressive dogs? How do we perform the correction? I appreciate you making this video but titling it “how” is misleading

      I need some tips for a new pup, but she's a small dog. She's friendly but has started to show signs of aggressive behavior. She's young, so I want to nip it right away.
      How do I react to her behavior?

    • @dmichalak007
      @dmichalak007 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, he does- Crate training, use a muzzle, loose lead walking training, and be a calm assertive leader at all times so that your dog won't make bad decisions on their own or will accept correction when a wrong decision is made. He clearly states that there is no magic wand to correct aggression, so if you are expecting one, your expectation is unrealistic and impractical. In short, dog training is a process and journey.

    Will, can you PLEASE do a video on erratic AROUSAL BITING in large adolescent dogs? I can't find any decent videos online about dealing with this but have found lots of posts from owners having the same problem I'm having.
    I don't think my 1 year old dog is inherently aggressive, but she struggles with over-stimulation and over-excitement when off lead on walks and at home, which ends up in brief moments of madness when a switch goes off and suddenly she's too overstimulated so chooses to jump up and bite crazily at my arms/clothing. Sometimes it is hard to spot when she is about to go over threshold and my clothes are getting ripped (plus it can be quite scary). She's never broken skin, despite being 48kg. So it's somewhat controlled bite/mouthing outbursts that appear to come out of nowhere and end as quickly as they start, then afterwards she is back to being her usual calm friendly self, but in that aroused state her eyes are wide and dilated and she looks like a totally different dog. She doesn't growl or snarl in these moments, just jumps and bites.
    Please help!

    We have had him on a muzzle since we first got him, mostly because he tries to each everything! But now, we just can’t have him around other dogs! Been watching a ton of your videos so hoping to see some changes ❤

      your dog will prob love and protect the baby but that`s where having a crate will be good, the dog can have a wee den to hide out, and when you are busy and can`t fully supervise the situation, baby will be safe.

      I disagree with these comments, I wouldn't keep any dog that shows aggressive tendencies around a child. Our family dog just attacked my 9 Yr old a week ago, he's been in hospital and had surgery to stitch up his head, could have been worse if I was not there to pull the dog off. Not worth the risk in my opinion..

      @@emjane74 Most of us view our canine companions as family members and are willing to do absolutely ANYTHING to rehabilitate that family member. I'm sorry your situation ended so poorly BUT...in most cases there will be multiple red flags that could be addressed before an attack. Resource guarding is the #1 earliest sign of aggression and it is so often overlooked by uneducated dog owners. If you can't place your dogs favorite meal, treat or toy on the ground and walk out of reach without your dog taking it....yoy have work to do!!! If you and your children can't grab your dogs food bowl and take it away during feeding YOU HAVE WORK TO DO!!! Excluding extreme situations, there are no bad dogs just bad dog owners. They are uneducated and do not put in the work!

      @@DrippingWithSin Dave, The dog did not resource guard food or anything else, She growled at my 9yr old only and was assessed by a dog behaviourist when we first took her in.. I'm glad u are willing to do ANYTHING to rehabilitate a dog after it attacks your child, no thank u but my son comes first and I would never put him in harms way again. The way u say there are no bad dogs only bad owners makes me think u have met every dog and their owners and done case studies, I guess there are no bad people that commit crimes either, must be their parents fault? It's always people that haven't witnessed a dog attack on their child that say there are always red flags etc, I would have thought the same before, not now. Like I said in my original replyif u have an AGGRESSIVE dog remove it if u have kids, simple!

I have been recently out walking to a location to take some photos, and was pinned down with 3 dogs. 2 stayed at distance but a collie dog was feet away from me growling showing teeth. Took owner a good 5 minutes to get to me. I did try my clam voice talking to it.

    Hi! I have a question. I have one year old épagneul breton. She has been always playful towards dog, well little provocative too. I should have probably stopped this right at the begging but I didn't realise and hoped it would go away. Well she always kind of push other dogs who would bark or growl at her. She run around and tried to play with them. Today one dog who, in the past regularly growled at her, went to her from the back she didn't know about the dog minding her on business. Her reaction was that she turned around and probably little bit bit the dog (I didn't see it properly). I immediately recalled her and she came to me. My question is what should I do in situations like this? Usually she doesn't attack dogs I think she felt threatened. However she should not react like this, probably. Thank you for your advices.

It can be very stressful I love her to pieces but I don’t feel when we are out she bonds with me. Although indoors she is loving towards me.

    • @kurtfox4944
      @kurtfox4944 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think the problem is that a leader should lead, not bribe. If you have to bribe to get her to follow, you are not really "leading" but "motivating" her with a treat. Your dog is not looking to your as a Consistent Assertive *Leader*...only a treat source. If there is anything I have learned watching dog training videos, it is this: the problem is not with the dog (in 99.99% of the cases) but the owner. Just curious, what bred do you have?

    How would you deal with resource guarding between dogs when me and my wife are eating one of the dogs. He is a more bully pitbull and we have an American pitbull, so he’s a little bit bigger in height, but the smaller one, whenever the bigger one comes around where we are eating. He growls and has a snaped at the other dog every now and then he doesn’t do it towards people. But both of them try to show for dominance. Of each other they have both been with us since 8 weeks old and they are 7 years and 5 years old it is the younger of the 2 that is doing this and it started when we had our son 3 years ago it’s not every time but when it happens I try to stop it but when I move or acknowledge that he’s doing somethings, he shouldn’t he stops, touch his tail and lays down

    I’m 33 and just got my first dog. It’s a blue brindle pit and I’m having the hardest time with him. He’s so sweet. Loves me so much. But he can be Fiesty sometimes. Barks like crazy when he’s not getting the attention he wants or when I leave him even if I just leave the room and he bites. The bites aren’t always hard but I’m noticing he’s almost snapping at me sometimes. Is this normal?

    All my dogs are rescue dogs and the problematic one had all his teeth pulled out his jaw broken and I found him on the edge of life, from the begging he was always growling and attacing his sister now all the dogs are afraid of him and do as he wants he is basically the leader, he doesn’t attack for any reason just because he feels everything in the house is his own property and doesn’t want to share, I yell at him an break them up but then I feel bad becouse I know I’m responsible and didn’t teach him better
