How would I react? I wouldn't have to because I don't take my dogs to these sort of places. I don't have the patience nor the money for vet bills. Reataching ears and tails is expensive
Before you enter. It is best that your dog is relaxed or comfortable. He’s too excited. Plus. You haven’t taught your dog who is the Alfa. Your dog believes he is the Alfa and those other dogs are weaker. When you have more than one Alfa dog at the dog park. You need your dog know that you are the Alfa dog and should control him. It’s not the other dogs fault
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but be careful with everything this person is saying. He has a bias to his Malinois. Much of the commentary is benign, but some of his comments are fairly inaccurate. To start, Malinois don’t enjoy dog parks, yet the owner keeps taking him there. Malinois want to work, and a dog park isn’t work for them. Navy Seals don’t like to train and hang out at donut shop with the local police department. Malinois were bred for a specific high octane duty, and a dog park is not even close to being on their bucket list. To a malinois, a dog park is like making an entrepreneur work in a corporate cubicle their whole life when they could go out in the field and absolute clean up. I recommend stop taking the malinois to the dog park, and give it the life it was bred for.
@@markhoffman I think it's kind of a weird statement saying "Malinois don't like the dog park, they want to work" Like, you don't know if he's working his Mal or not. He's probably just taking Ronin to the park to meet other dogs and get some video footage. Nobody knows what he's doing all of the other time. Yeah, Malinois are bred to be working dogs but they do fine living as family dogs, as long as they have a purpose and a task. And yes, most Malinois like meeting other dogs. They're social animals after all.
@@kiru_red4691 I know it’s not what people want to hear, but if you talked with most malinois owner they would confirm they don’t take theirs to the dog park. There are much better places to socialize a malinois. You can see in the videos that the ronin is panting a lot even without activity, it’s stressed a lot of the time it’s there.
To Mark, working dogs still do normal pet things. I have Leonberger and they’re a working dog as well. It’s a good thing to give them “work” to do but they’re still like humans and need to have downtime and fun. And I agree with the other commenter that we don’t know what this owner is doing with his Malinois, we only see one facet of their life and Ronin seems like he enjoys his visits to the park.
All hes teached u is too risk your pet in a feild of untrained and unpredictable pets dont do this just take your pet for a n8ce quiet walk somewhere where there isnt other dogs especially ones that are off the lead with weak owners who would panic if something did gappen and make it worse what a fool.
This is crazy. The owner should have immediately corrected that behavior. Your Mal showed incredible restraint, especially since he's basically still a puppy.
I approve the behavior of Ronin. He is still young but those visits to the parc are quite formative. He shows restreint but then there is a limit when he's been pushed. This dog reminds me of a friend I know for a long time. Dogs understand much more than we think they do.
They are an idiot, first mistake is keeping the dog on a leash at a dog park, of course it feels insecure and radiates that energy to other dogs. This is not somebody who understands dogs at all imho.
Thanks for sharing that video - - it's really fun and I lean a lot by watching all the micro movements you capture and replay between the dogs. The interactions are so spontaneous and varied - - it's a bit exhausting for my mind - - the dogs do so much and communicate all the time - - it's really amazing.
Beautiful handling of your Malinois. Such dogs demand long work, love and dedication. You both should be very proud of this. A dog should always be able to express its feelings to other dogs freely so I believe you did all engagements correctly and potentially seamless. Awesome ❤
"He just wants to play" a woman with no clue doesn't keep her GSD on a leash. "People get so mad at me!" I suppose that reaction is because her dog wants to dominate my GSD/Malinois mix and everybody else in the universe. The dog scared the shit ou of my dog and _I_ had to tell her GSD to back off.
Never Never did we bring our dogs into this environment, many aggressive dogs, handlers ignore the signs, so many reasons including disease. This Malinos is a special species of a protector and does not need to defend himself.
As they should. Too many owners, especially male owners, seem to enjoy their dog's manliness. This guy here seems to enjoy his big Malinois and his intimidation of other dogs. Like the proud father of the school yard bully. Reflected glory and toughness. Intact dogs (and unspayed female dogs) have NO business at the dog park.
@@nowyouredoingthesponge4644 Absolutely. He's obviously a good trainer. The problem is an intact dog brings drama and trouble. He may control his dog, but others will then be forced to jump in and get control of their dogs. Ronan may enjoy showing his skill and manliness in controlling his big dog, a real testosterone rush, but most people just go to the park to let their dogs play and get exercise. They're not looking for trouble. They're not looking to show off their skills. They're not shooting a video for tic toc or youtube. They're just normal people trying to let their dogs have fun. Now what had been a good time with happy dogs becomes a stressful time that everyone comes to dread because of one dog that brings intact energy.
@@cocokai9661 Agreed, the dude is milking these interactions knowing they'll be 100% guaranteed due to his intact dog, keeping the dog that way is an investment after all for video milking seeing this happens *all* the time. Reminds me of 'those' gamers that torment other players just to show on their twitch streams how 'git gud' they are ruining everyone else's fun for their own content.
@@nowyouredoingthesponge4644 It's not the behaviour of Ronin half as much as a default setting of dogs as a whole; intact vs neutered will *always* be problematic no matter the training level. When I was a kid it was the other way round because most dogs were intact and fixed dogs got the target fixed on them.
Dog parks are great places to meet single women but terrible places for dogs. Stop going and find a few friends with well-behaved dogs and stick with them.
What a patient and well behaved Malinois. And big props to the owner of the aussie for following her dog, calling him and trying to get him to stop pestering Ronin before things could escalate further. Too many owners just let their dogs do whatever they want..
Can you imagine being in a dog park with your pet and this shows up? Somehow this behaviour is acceptable to you? No thank you. Until you train this dog it is a meanace. You dont get to own the dog park just because your dog is bigger.
"Kevin, you're not that guy" Someone tell her that Kevin is going through a short guy complex. Ronin doesn't care because Kevin is so short he looks right over him
Thanks, very informative. For the first time in my life I have two dogs. I always thought horses were quick… they’re glacial compared to dogs. Dogs give the signal and act so quickly.
First time watching a video from you - excellent commentary on dog language. I love learning dogs cues, so thank you for doing this video, so cool. Also enjoyed seeing the Elkhound, we had a Norwegian Elkhound when I was growing up, she was amazing. Thanks again :)
I had a female maliaios she lived for 14 years incredibly smart dog, endless energy.....definitely my best buddy, her name was abbey. Thanks for sharing your video.
dog professionals are nearly unanimous in telling those who listen to STAY OUT of dog parks... they are 'ignorant owners with untrained dogs' and dog trainers are professionals...
My dog doesn't go to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls, not even Lowes or Home Depot. She stays on the front porch. I like that and she likes that.
I'm not a dog person, although I did have a beloved Border Collie for 13 years. No, I am a kitty mom. However, I thoroughly enjoy dog training videos because dogs are trainable, unlike cats LOL! I have especially enjoyed your videos and the descriptions of dog behavior at the parks. I gotta say... WELL DONE!
I am into this and understand that body language. Just want to thank you about so carefully made learning material! I just subscribed and will use this for teaching my sons about this, really perfect.
That dog owner really need lessons. I never know much about dogs and their language or behaviours and mannerisms until recently. Having worked with a dog daycare. There's so much to learn. It goes to show, taking in and caring for a dog IS a big responsibility. You don't learn and train a dog well, you get a lot of problems. Its true.
😂 Dogs are basically like kids at the play ground. Think about it they have the mentality of a 5 yr old. Most of the dogs are just trying to establish what kids in charge and whose going to going to lead their adventures 😂. I owned an American pitbull and I can tell you right now the bully was not looking for a fight. It's body language was chill and playful. I love every kind of dog but the bully is my favorite. Ive raised different work dogs and the American pitbull is an absolute pleasure to train just like these beautiful dogs. I'm getting my daughter a Belgian their the only dog beside a pitbull I wouldn't mind being grandpa to. My pitbull died and she took my heart with her I'm personally done owning anymore dogs. I'll never find another dog like her. Even in her own breed she was special. I've never met a more gentle loving soul that brought me nothing but pure joy every single day right up to her last days. I've had a few dogs in my life and they broke my heart. This one took it with her😢
i love your videos and everything so much, my sister wanted me to watch a few videos so i could learn more about dog body language and ive learned so much! i might get a lab or poodle soon, but your account will help me so much with my first dog. my sister has 2 dogs which helps me practice anf i even taught them a few tricks which im super proud of. But i really love your content and your account so much. and Ravens curled tail is just so cute! i love your content so much!!
You are an AMAZING Daddy to Beautiful Ronin!! Belgian Malinois are STUPENDOUS, HUGHLY INTELLIGENT, LOVING dogs!! I watched the entire vidoeo and the first (black & white- revisited) dominant dog's owner kept calling it, several times, with no control, no respect from the dog, Then with your kindness asking the other owner to pull their dog back, and does Nothing??? This is like Mom's at a park with their spoiled, bully kids!! Loclve and take Care of your babies! You Absolutely did Everything correct!! Allowing Ronin to be himself and deal how he did is Crucial! He is a BAMF!! 💝💪🏽😍 I Know if any of those dogs went after you they would have been Annihilated!! Ronin is a Perfect example of a Belgian Malinois who has had love, attention, interaction and boundaries. Belgian Malinois are So Easy to have, it the people that need training, not them. GOD Bless you both!
Wow aThats a lot of dog knowledge! Makes you wonder how dangerous dog parks can be with so many less knowledgeable, uneducated owners who simply let the
Dogs are such interesting social animals. I'm glad to see they have the no leash sign. I used to take my boxers to a dog park every weekend and, inevitably, someone would come in with their dog on a leash. Almost without fail, other dogs would tend to get aggressive with them.
Well , i don't go to dog parks. My vet told me there's too much disease not to mention things like this. I have pit bulls, and that dogs owner had no control over him but i didn't really see him trying either. I'd have asked him politely to control his dog. If he argued or got aggressive id leave before letting it escalate into a dog fight, but I'd notify the park of his dogs behavior and him not controling his dog. My male pit would recall to a point, but I'd have to get hands on him because if the dog pushed him constantly he'd get real within just a couple of seconds...
@@celestek.2395girl stfu it’s not his dog at all. You see the behavior of the other dogs. Don’t be dense and acting like you know everything. I assure you, you do not. I saw your other hateful comment about his dog, its is not his dogs fault or his that people bring severely untrained dogs to the park. Stop trying to be a know it all and pipe down. It’s not your dog, therefore there’s no need for you hateful and ignorant comments.
Did you know that the Australian Shepherd does not exist here in Australia? What I am seeing is Coolie, (comes from Germany, works like a coolie, often has one or two blue eyes denoting, in my opinion, a cross of Siberian Husky, tough workers instinctively good with livestock), crossed with Kelpie, Border Collie, and perhaps Smithfield. The tail seems bobbed, but with Smithfield, a red or blue cattle dog, many are born without tails. Anyway, the Aussie Shepherd is a lot of dog, hybrid vigour, many Aussie breeds in one. I can see the attributes of all our working dogs. Coolie is the toughest, they get trampled in the race, they get up and get the job done, while the kelpies and collies likely slink away. Coolies also discerning but fierce guards. I love all these Malinois videos that pop up in my feed. Superb breed, smartest I have ever seen. Ha! When you say intact, I say entire.
In my opinion off-leash dog parks should require owners and dogs meet a basic standard of obedience and dog handling . Like a drivers license is required to operate a vehicle on a public roadway.
I have been to a dog park once and don't plan to do it again. I took my 3 yo GSD, Sadie, to a park in Blacksburg, VA. She was playing with a young boxer, a dance mix, and a lab mix on the dogs over 60# side. She got tired and was lying under my picnic table while I was talking to the boxer's owners. A guy brought in a smaller dog (30-40#) into the large dog side. It was a male with the canine equivalent of short man syndrome. It immediately went over and bit the boxer. The boxer was shocked but didn't respond. Then it made the mistake of biting Sadie. Sadie had him on his back in less than a second. I'm just glad I was there to control the situation. We left the park after that but the owner of the smaller dog acted as if nothing had happened. Maybe I should have just let Sadie deal with that dog.
I'm learning so much from ur descriptive interpretation of doggy language it's impressive. Just a query about lip licking, nots not always linked to nervousness is it??
"ridges show up on a dogs face when anxious / tense" looool, every dog with a wide mouth gets those when their mouth is open regardless of their emotions
This is why vets won't take their dogs to dog parks. It stresses out the dogs and some people insist that their dog is not aggressive when it is. Dogs would rather just spend time with their humans anyway.
First of all, letting your dog go inside the park with an excited, pacing behavior, was your first mistake. That caused problems. I don’t think you quite understand dog behavior as well as you think you do. That’s why the other dogs were acting like that towards your dog. You’re lucky he didn’t cause an all out fight. If you’d stayed, blood would have been drawn for sure.
No, that Aussie and pit were the aggressive and not good candidates for a dog park. Ronin gave non aggressive de escalating gestures and that is a characteristic of a solid dod that is perfect for a service dog
Ronin and the mali mix be like "Bruh u MIXED what the HEEEEELLLL" and he be like "Still a Mali m8 eff off" and ronin be like "Okay okay okay sorry" "yeah eff that lets play" "Nyeeeesss!!!"
I went to the dog park with my Lab so he could interact with more dogs. Big strong guy but like many Labs, zero aggression and 100% play. He had a great time. I got to know the regulars and would drive away if the wrong owners were there. But my boy kept getting eye infections from the dog park so I stopped going. My vet says a lot of his business comes from sickness picked up at dog parks. FWIW.
Interesting. Thanks. I have noticed some body posture clues with other dogs like a stiff stance with rigid tail wag is NOT friendly! Ear position is huge too.
I used to be Vice President of our local dog park. I no longer go. I guess it's "fun" for some dogs and people but it is a very unnatural environment IMO and showcases aggression and bad behaviour more than anything else. The people were the reason I stopped going. Not responsible at all.
Well my Mal would’ve not been as patient as yours. And I definitely would not have been as patient as you was with those 2 dog owners. Dallas would’ve been doing a whole lot if correcting that day 😂
Most people miss a lot of the subtleties of dog buddy language. Our last dog was very inbred with the dominant trait. She hated if we stood over her back or another dog putting his head over her back to show dominance. She wouldn’t bite anyone or anything, but she would give you a growl to say I don’t like that. It’s good to see your videos so that other owners might start picking up on Dog body language. If People quickly pick up on those things but stay calm it can lead to a more pleasant experience the dog park.
Ronin and bully interaction @ 3:09

It’s okay for a dog to play but there is a limit of playing and a limit is growling at the same time as biting.
The subtlety of dog language never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for teaching us.

I learned an insane amount about dog body language in this one video. You're amazing!
I don’t ever go into an area where a dog has an unbreakable stare. Always bad news
Most people don’t know how to train their dogs before they go to the park.
You can't train genes out of a piece of shit breed (shitbull)
yeah - the malinois is clearly antisocial
Dogs not on their own property with no owners present rarely fight. The reason to fight is absent unless a female is in season.
nearly all pro trainers tell you to stay OUT of dog parks for very good reasons....

@@celestek.2395girl stfu it’s not his dog at all. You see the behavior of the other dogs. Don’t be dense and acting like you know everything. I assure you, you do not. I saw your other hateful comment about his dog, its is not his dogs fault or his that people bring severely untrained dogs to the park. Stop trying to be a know it all and pipe down. It’s not your dog, therefore there’s no need for you hateful and ignorant comments.
Malinois is like, I’m the warriors, you are a civvie. You don’t want this.
Did you know that the Australian Shepherd does not exist here in Australia? What I am seeing is Coolie, (comes from Germany, works like a coolie, often has one or two blue eyes denoting, in my opinion, a cross of Siberian Husky, tough workers instinctively good with livestock), crossed with Kelpie, Border Collie, and perhaps Smithfield. The tail seems bobbed, but with Smithfield, a red or blue cattle dog, many are born without tails. Anyway, the Aussie Shepherd is a lot of dog, hybrid vigour, many Aussie breeds in one. I can see the attributes of all our working dogs. Coolie is the toughest, they get trampled in the race, they get up and get the job done, while the kelpies and collies likely slink away. Coolies also discerning but fierce guards.
I love all these Malinois videos that pop up in my feed. Superb breed, smartest I have ever seen. Ha! When you say intact, I say entire.
Yes, I couldn't agree more with everything you wrote here. Awesome insights and knowledge.
I BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO AHHHH YAY
In my opinion off-leash dog parks should require owners and dogs meet a basic standard of obedience and dog handling . Like a drivers license is required to operate a vehicle on a public roadway.
Ronin keeps looking like “lady if you don’t come and get Kevin”
I like your explanation of some of the cues that the dogs are doing
New here. Love the channel. Love Ronin.❤
I have been to a dog park once and don't plan to do it again. I took my 3 yo GSD, Sadie, to a park in Blacksburg, VA. She was playing with a young boxer, a dance mix, and a lab mix on the dogs over 60# side. She got tired and was lying under my picnic table while I was talking to the boxer's owners. A guy brought in a smaller dog (30-40#) into the large dog side. It was a male with the canine equivalent of short man syndrome. It immediately went over and bit the boxer. The boxer was shocked but didn't respond. Then it made the mistake of biting Sadie. Sadie had him on his back in less than a second. I'm just glad I was there to control the situation. We left the park after that but the owner of the smaller dog acted as if nothing had happened. Maybe I should have just let Sadie deal with that dog.
3:42 "since malinois are the crackheads"
Lol
My boy used to love dog parks, now he could care less. He just likes to explore on his own
This is why I don't go into the dog park cage match with my Great Pyrenees mix. Too unpredictable.
Fascinating video,learned so much watching this video. Thank you
Cool Video, Thanks for Sharing And Teaching Us Some Dog Body Language. Really appreciate it
I'm learning so much from ur descriptive interpretation of doggy language it's impressive. Just a query about lip licking, nots not always linked to nervousness is it??
How do you ever get that camera to stay on? Can you show a picture of Ronin wearing the camera?
I like the way you do your vids with subtitles
"ridges show up on a dogs face when anxious / tense" looool, every dog with a wide mouth gets those when their mouth is open regardless of their emotions
This is why vets won't take their dogs to dog parks. It stresses out the dogs and some people insist that their dog is not aggressive when it is. Dogs would rather just spend time with their humans anyway.
First of all, letting your dog go inside the park with an excited, pacing behavior, was your first mistake. That caused problems. I don’t think you quite understand dog behavior as well as you think you do. That’s why the other dogs were acting like that towards your dog. You’re lucky he didn’t cause an all out fight. If you’d stayed, blood would have been drawn for sure.
I think that's why he's so nice and left. Because he knows that his dog drawls behavior
No, that Aussie and pit were the aggressive and not good candidates for a dog park. Ronin gave non aggressive de escalating gestures and that is a characteristic of a solid dod that is perfect for a service dog
This is only one of the reasons why I would never take my dog to a dog park. Because of the dog owners, they live in a La La Land
if your dog is well trained you wont have a big issue.
“ Kevin your not that guy cmon” 😂
Omg, I would be an absolute nervous wreck walking in those circumstances!!
Kevin hey kevin come here 😂😂😂 kevin is onna mission
When I worked at a dog daycare we had a few who were terrified of fluffy dogs and constantly barked at them
Fascinating: thanks & subbed. ‘Dog Park’ sounds so light hearted… arena..
Wow this is really good. Wish more dog owners learn how to read their dogs.
This whole situation is a recipe for disaster.
Ronin and the mali mix be like "Bruh u MIXED what the HEEEEELLLL" and he be like "Still a Mali m8 eff off" and ronin be like "Okay okay okay sorry" "yeah eff that lets play" "Nyeeeesss!!!"
I went to the dog park with my Lab so he could interact with more dogs. Big strong guy but like many Labs, zero aggression and 100% play. He had a great time. I got to know the regulars and would drive away if the wrong owners were there. But my boy kept getting eye infections from the dog park so I stopped going. My vet says a lot of his business comes from sickness picked up at dog parks. FWIW.
Isn't it funny how almost all comments criticising this for using bad training or lack of training as views gets deleted?
Of course they do. It's how they do it. Only 1 side of story, theirs.
Your content and break-down there of, is awesome.
Interesting. Thanks. I have noticed some body posture clues with other dogs like a stiff stance with rigid tail wag is NOT friendly! Ear position is huge too.
I can relate. Fluffy dogs throw me off too.
Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful!
Holy crap I just found this vid and loved it. You got a sub from me.
I used to be Vice President of our local dog park. I no longer go. I guess it's "fun" for some dogs and people but it is a very unnatural environment IMO and showcases aggression and bad behaviour more than anything else. The people were the reason I stopped going. Not responsible at all.
This is so fun and learningful to watch. Fluffy dogs are scary indeed ;-)
Let’s go!! You’re a Chelsea fan!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Love the narration.
This was very interesting. Your comments were very educational.
Nice video. Just want to point out that that’s not an Australian shepherd at the beginning, it’s a Kelpie. 😊
Well my Mal would’ve not been as patient as yours. And I definitely would not have been as patient as you was with those 2 dog owners. Dallas would’ve been doing a whole lot if correcting that day 😂
4:43 that bully is literally just looking for an opportunity. Ronin gives him an opening and he’ll attack. 100%.
The person kept calling Kevin but it aint coming
So refreshing that you called it a Bully and not a Pit
Very cool videos with up close a tion and explaining everything. ❤
For some reason I’ve always thought Ronin was a German Shepard 😭
Most people miss a lot of the subtleties of dog buddy language. Our last dog was very inbred with the dominant trait. She hated if we stood over her back or another dog putting his head over her back to show dominance. She wouldn’t bite anyone or anything, but she would give you a growl to say I don’t like that. It’s good to see your videos so that other owners might start picking up on Dog body language. If People quickly pick up on those things but stay calm it can lead to a more pleasant experience the dog park.
