I'm a dog trainer, but I don't work with severe aggression. I know my limits and will always refer if I am not able to help. Nice that you have the knowledge to help them.
I love the fact that you are willing to say this rather than what alot of trainers just accuse the dog of being the issue, I aspire to be educated enough to be able to work with aggressive dogs in the future, I am not yet experienced enough to be able to handle severe aggression but I'm learning 🥰
Do you make content of your training methods?
@@Kira-kg4kl he sells it on his website. His program is $999 right now
@@erinnorwood6124 Are you talking about Will?
I'm a breeder and this is a powerful hunter not a guard dog. This breed is not meant for this kind of owner. It's disgusting and a waste of this amazing breeds talents. I'm flabbergasted as to why a breeder would push this dog on to these people. I would not sell these two people this dog. I would instead suggest a mastiff for it's intended purpose
@belial rott completely agree but unfortunately in the pet trade a very large percentage of people get dogs that are not suited for the environment the owners place them in mentally of physically, most people want something laid back but that looks cool 😑
I deal with alot of reactive working breeds that just aren't given what they need by their handlers
Just like with kids, mislabeling can have awful consequences. Unlike with kids, in dogs it can lead to death... So glad they came to see you and are now able to deal with the issues. Seeing him run around with other dogs was so lovely. You've potentially saved a life.
This legit made me cry when you said he's a lovely, beautiful dog and the owner teared up thanking you. As a teacher, I see the same thing with kids. This child, this dog, has a wonderful mind and we can work with this to have a wonderful life companion
Ridgebacks are very physical, vocal and mouthy when playing. When you see 2 Ridgebacks playing you would think they are fighting to death, but that is how they play. They are super nice dogs and I love them.
Thanks for another success story! That ridgeback is gorgeous but what a challenge for first time dog owners! They made a great choice coming to you for the answers. Well done, everyone!
Beautiful Ridgeback! They seem like really caring owners.
Have an rodhesian myself. Thanks for doing what you do! It helps people to understand to communicate with the dogs properly
It's so nice to see that you can give the owners the tools to help themselves and reap the rewards!
I have 2 RR (Rhodesian Ridgebacks). Man they play rough. Slways wonder why people say a RR is not for first time owners. My 12 year old son(then) basically raised our RR alone during Covid . Yes had dog classes for 6 weeks but consistancy I believed helped us so much. Ridgeback bit us as a puppy (3-6 months) but otherwise no reason not to have RR as first dog. When on leash be careful when people approach RR , let them approach him slowly. Magnificent guard dog , wont bite as a first action but will bay a stranger en they will know not to move closer. My RR will always check the area from the street as soon as I come out from my home and will run and give one big bark at the front gate when he goes into the garden after being in the house. Great channel
Will, I find you to be a high quality dog communicator. I also think you are of high Nobel character that you offer free 60-90 minute trainings to help owners. May you prosper.
Well done everyone! Ridgebacks are gorgeous loyal dogs. They definitely didn’t start with a kids meal, but went straight to a Big Mac-supersized! So pleased to see how committed they are to him despite previous bad information. Great video❤️
Good on you for being an educator Will! It makes me cringe thinking how many dogs have been put down unnecessarily.
That's not showing off , that's simply being proud of your work and being proud of the dog owners who followed through! Great job to you and phenomenal job to them!
You were able to see the dog for who he is and what he trying to communicate. You interpreted his language and helped the owners see what he has been trying to communicate.
Just a young dog ! How can people be so crazy to misunderstand him ? Great there are dog people like you who see things clearly
So happy that they were able to have a good experience and learn to help their dog succeeed
What a great video. I loved the way you diagnosed the problem and helped the couple with their beautiful dog.
I just sent this to my nephew. He has a lovely 5 year old Husky that they tried to have trainers work with and they told him the dog is an idiot, not trainable etc etc.... I told him that is not true.... Love your videos and I HOPE they help him with Smokey and Bandit!
Hi Will, really good to see this. Despite all your warnings, I jumped in feet first into owning a Ridgeback as a first time dog owner. It has been challenging, but fun and I recognise both the dog’s and the owners’ behaviour and response from the clip. Your mantra of being a calm, consistent leader has really helped and I can’t recall how many of your training sessions I have watched. These dogs can be wilful and high energy when it comes to play and what I try and do is to bring that energy down with a quick sit and down when I see it getting too rough. I am not fully there yet, but willing to keep getting all the help I can. My dog Kukesha (Cookie for short) is a beautiful six months old male.
He's a beautiful dog! So glad they love him.
I'm really struggling with my rescue dog right now and that last bit gives me a lot of hope.
Great video as usual! No comments about the other professionals mentioned in the video....I can't stop thinking about all the banned breeds and how that is the consequence about poor knowledge about dogs...
Thanks Will!
Seeing him do the puppy play bow i could instantly see he was playing. I think dogs with high prey drive are often mouthy in play. What a great video and lovely dog.
Yep and you just have to tell them no and fucking mean it .
@@panchopistola8298correct
👌🏼 glad you helped the dog! Too many times dogs are misunderstood as aggressive and it's so easy to advise to put the dog down when it's the owner that needs help.
As soon as I heard you say it was a ridgeback I had a hard time believing the dog would attack their owner. Ridgebacks are one of the very most loyal dog breeds there is. I really happy he learned so quickly having that simple tool.
same, they can be boisterous and VERY physical dogs, but they just love humans.
My ridgeback is 9 months old and will sometimes have a "crazy 5 mins" where she jumps up and wants to play aggressively. I stop all play immediately and calm her down when this happens, putting her in her crate if necessary. She needs to understand she doesn't get to choose when we play, and it's on my terms.
I was floored!!😮😮😮😮my dog is the most protective and loving dog ever!! Put the dog DOWN!! WFH is going on! Omg
Your info to owners is so clear and you are saving so many dogs -thanks Will! I i got a rescue Staffie X - quite a big fella - and watching your videos has made me so much more confident which means Denzel trusts my guidance on walks - and mega crazy pulling was the reason he was not being adopted - but i sensed he was stressed out in kennels, but could learn and loved humans (Like me!) you helped me and him start a new life together! Thank you Will!
At 3:55 and 4:09 you could see the 2 play bows as well as the "skipping" into and around the the owner as Wil begins to engage with him....you could see the enthusiasm this dog has for "strong play". Would have loved to see Wil work with a tug with this beautiful dog.
I think this is the biggest issue with positive only trainers, they’d rather blame the personality of the dog than issue beneficial corrections.
Yea because any dog that doesn't do what they want with kisses and treats is just written off as can't be fixed.
Fantastic video. As soon as I watched you a little with that dog I could tell he was just being a rambunctious teenager and needed some work. I absolutely love your videos. You’re as much a people trainer as you are a dog trainer. ❤❤❤
It's frightening to think of the huge amount of bad advice given just because people have too much pride to say "I don't know". I've had some bad advice along the way too, but luckily it's never really too late to improve things once you finally find solid advice (such as Will Atherton's) you can actually agree with and obviously works!
Will, wish I found you 1 year ago your videos are helping me be a great leader to my lab. Love your energy and give props to your camera people. Very nice attention to detail.
We have a cane corso x gsd who is in his tenage phase now and we're having a hard time with obedience. This video helped me realise it is not that bad and I'm not so scared for him. Thank you so much, this gave me a hopeful feeling.
I wish you a lot of patience on your way with your pup! ❤️🙏 the teenage phase is always tricky❤️
If you scared, you will never train your dog. They can read that
Thank you so much for posting this. It was so helpful! We have an 11 month old rescue, GSP x Samoyed (got him at 4 months) and he exhibits similar behaviour. Lunges at us and puts teeth on us. We've been seeing a trainer and have now been referred by the vet to a behavioural specialist. We'll see how it goes! Your video was super helpful, thank you.
Well done Will, been a follower from day 1! As a passionate dog owner of guardian breeds and a learning canine behaviourist, i commend all the work you do with every dog that comes your way
Phenomenal content Will, thank you for sharing these insights and stories. You are a fantastic teacher and communicator. Your understanding of the canine mind and behaviours is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping people educate themselves and thank you for providing a new lease on life for many dogs that others would write off.
Fantastic to see how you just turned the coin so the couple now know how to live with their nice Ridgeback. 👍🏻
Dude needs his own TV show
A ridgeback is a handfull for a first time owner: I know as this is exactly our situation with a nine month old female. We are finding our way, but we find it essential that she has daily exercise and mental stimulation, but also have joined a dog training club. I completely agree with you Will that that young dog looks like a great dog displaying typical ridgeback behaviours.
Get a second one, that’s all you need. They need someone to match their energy and who better then another one of them
Well done to u for sorting a bad situation into simple consistency brill thanks
This video warms my heart! My dog had these EXACT same issues, and I feel so lucky to have found a local trainer that similarly gave me the tools in a single session to completely turn the situation around. For my dog, it was actually the squirt bottle with a verbal cue that did the trick, but so glad the prong collar worked so well here! Thanks for sharing!
Same thing happened to me but it happened randomly in an isolated field with no one around.
When a rottweiler comes at you like that you're shitting yourself.
He did it a couple times after but I guess he grew out of it
I’ve got a rotty/Dalmatian cross who does the same nonsense. She responds really well to a spray bottle but anything physical just ramps her up. She loves the conflict and physicality.
Great video as Usual Will. Look forward to your videos and all the help you give.
Such Great Advice and lead, Well done Good sir!!
Wonderful trainer. So far I couldn't find anyone in my country to get near to Will's quality. They mainly oscilate between really rough training methods and/or bribing the dog constantly with treats. So I train it myself but I am also missing some pieces of the puzzles :(.
Ah actual tears 😢 this boy is beautiful and I'm so glad they didn't take the 1st opinion.
There are so many good dogs out there that get improperly labeled due to a lack of the right knowledge and tools to have the perfect pup.
It's so common that I get clients with a little puppy or a young dog and they say to me on the phone they need a session because the dog is "attacking" somebody or is "aggressive" with the kids and biting people. 10/10 times I get there and the dog is playing and the humans haven't been taught how to keep a lid on the intensity of that play.
Picked up early in their story that moment of, "Wait, what you're calling aggression and attacks isn't matching up with the size and power of this dog. If he intended to hurt you he'd have REALLY hurt you." Sure enough, who's just a big playful boy?
I just got our Fenrier Hammer in yesterday! We love it! It makes me chuckle watching my 5 month old Old English Bulldogge carry it around too, so thank you!
Bro I been watching you now probably for about a year & as a former owners of a German shepherd back in the 80's I think your awesome 👌🏽. God bless you
Thank you for this very wise and encouraging video! 😀
Brilliant video as well by the way, love your content and education
A Ridgeback is not a first dog owner dog !!! These breeds are challenging for anyone who has never dealt with big guard dogs with the characteristics of a Ridgeback..they require a lot of work and I can only hope that they will be working with a trainer until the dog reaches at least 2y !!
Wow, just goes to show how quickly dogs can get put down just because so-called trainers totally misread them... Great work!
This describes my Ruger he is a brindle boxer and acts exactly the same thank you for clearing it up!!!
Great video will 👍
I am a Dog Behaviorist and I absolutely LoVe how you teach. ❤️
10/10!
Yeah this is literally how young make ridgebacks are. We have a 14 mo old. Loose in the backyard he’s like a heatseeking missile 😂. That energy and strength combined with mouthiness and an extended puppy phase is a Ridgeback hallmark. These dogs play rough and do well when paired with another Ridgeback
You're such a nice human.
Its always very education watching you doing these training or correction sessions. Really hats off to U. I just had a question, Is there any age form which the prong collar can be used? As I have seen you use the slip leash as well. Thanks once again for your great work.
Brilliant, love your approach to every breed. We've rehomed a gorgeous blue heeler nearly 2, she was 1 when we got her, since then she has learned so much,heel,place,sit and stay,down, but still loves the chase - roe deer,cats,squirrels, have used the prong collar for cattle,sheep and it works. Don't want to take that natural instinct away from her, what are we doing wrong Will, appreciate any input,
Many thanks
Gary, highlands
Always loved Ridgebacks
Your Videos made me ralize I Might have talent for being an animal behaviorist. I'm very observant about Humans and Animals alike. Noticing and identifying Behavior through body language in animals seems rather easy and understandable and I'm able to apply a lot of the concepts with animals. Maybe I should really think about a career change when I'm in my 30-40's.
We got attacked from a young dog just like this, same breed. My dog usually ignores him, but of course couldn't then, and protected me and himself. I don't find anything wonderful about a dog that is such a threat and attacks others just out of nowhere....bleeding and bruises on people and dogs. I am sooo glad, you where able to help these ppl. and the dog. But I honestly wouldn't call him wonderful wonderful wonderful....for me very social, loyal, respectful calm dogs are wonderful. Hope the improved behaviour stays and the scared ppl stop saying nonsense about him being autistic. These dogs don't have enough bonderies and are undersocialized, thinking too highly of themselves, many times reflecting their owners, that use this breed (and others) as a symbol of status...so sad. Even I was hurt badly, I would never tell s.o. to put an animal down. You really saved the day ...and many others🤗
Can dogs be autistic? I had no idea! Also doing your puppy course and my boys smashing it so thanks for that!
I HAD a Kuvasz that that came out of a litter and EVERY dog in the litter had to be put down cause of biting! And sadly we did training but it flipped on my kid and the vet said that medication may help but he got to put down cause he was over 100#s :( I loved that crazy dog BUT he was dangerous and he had a different the look in his eyes and face when he flipped ….
Ah, you are VERY good, Will. I wonder who suggested they get a Ridgeback as a first dog? So glad this couple came to you. The shame here is that you've had to use a prong collar. In the right hands, with the right training and UNDERSTANDING, a prong collar, as in this case cases, is warranted. Obviously it worked! And I'm SO HAPPY they're not going to use it as a walking collar or permanent collar as so many idiots do because they have NO IDEA or understanding of dog behaviour - idiots then cause a wonderful dog to become a fearful, reactive dog, usually poorly socialized and lacking confidence. PS: I'm a GSD owner - I LOVE them! Having lost my two last year (my huge male was an incredible, trustworthy Registered Therapy Dog and the other a small Czech-line female. It was devastating to lose them within 6 months of each other) I now have a 6 month beautiful male who I adore and who I can 'almost' trust completely, ' trust ' meaning that, with training and reinforcement, his behaviour will become predictable i.e. his responses will be the same to a command every time ( training, training, working and positive frequent socialization! with him!!) We're moving towards therapy work again. But as a teenager, we're into the 'testing' stage, also, so it IS important to be firm and consistent AND to be more stubborn than he is.........I'm lucky, however, I can use high value food treats as a reward!!! SO glad I've found your channel !! I'm learning much from you, too!!!!! Thank you!😊
A RR is truly a wonderful breed. I have 2 of approximately 2 years of age.My male RR plays excactly like this dog. That pouncing moment he had at the end is so part of the play when they get super exited. Sorry to hear that they are steriotyped as aggresive in the States. They are actually very good with unknown people if introduced well to them. Great guarddogs but wont bite easily , they will however indicate to the "enemy" without any doubt when they are not welcome. RR are truly sensitive but brave soldiers.Harsh correction dont work and is not needed.
Beard is on point, bub.
Lovely dog typical ridgeback teenager ! As you say I cannot believe anyone could suggest he was aggressive or autistic !
How do you know when to incorporate a prong collar? What age is too young?
This is a working dog with out a job, he is frustrated and doesn’t really know what to do with himself, Sometimes people need to realize what kind of dog they have, work with him give him what he needs and everything will change
Any tips on how to put a muzzle on, our dogs fearful and an bite if you try to give personal care. Like cleaning ears! We tried to feed treats through it but she's so suspicious she won't hve it anywhere near her.
My dog used to be a little like this more when playing rough. He would bite but not typically to hurt just playful but it could hurt depending on when or where he got you. He still does it a little bit as we never corrected it but he knows stop or knock it off and can go from 100 to 0 just like that. Most times it's us who need training. :)
Where did you get that muzzle from please?
Omg I have a Rhodesian ridgeback they usually are not aggressive breeds!! Wow
But you didn’t show how you did it? I wanted to see how you fitted and used the prong collar as my 7 month old puppy does the same to me and my children. He run and grabs my hand or arms as he runs past. My arms are full of bruises and he’s scratched my hands with his teeth. I’ve told him to stop but he thinks it’s a game. I’ve bought a prong collar but not sure how to use it.
I like your channel i do k9 training and your spot on my favourite breed is rottweilers i all ways tell people to do there home work before getting any dog and from day one you get your puppy you show them your the boss and there at the bottom of the pack and let your children train your puppy with you to so the know what to do and puppy knows there under them in the pack and kids know how to train them right way to and you show them what not to do train your puppy 3 to 4 times a day for 10 minutes its tires them out gets there brain working hard and its like takeing your dog for 30 minutes just in 10 minutes
I take it, then, that they can never completely relax around that dog.
Living with that dog means management of him, every hour of every day.
As they continue training and the dog matures, it will become easier to manage. Consistency is key to developing good dog behavior.😊
Haha...that trainer said yell at the dog or use a water pistol?? My goodness, that trainer should be reported and banned from ever training another dog.
Unfortunate choice of breed for first timers. That said, this couple seem like they will handle it, and well.
What a handsome pup! They're gonna have a great time with him going forward.
I’ve grown up with Ridgebacks and can tell any potential owners please please do your research. A placid/ well mannered blood line is key.
I own 2 Ridgeback. An 80lb female and a 115 lb male. The KEY with owning a Ridgeback is.... You need to establish, in the very beginning, that YOU ARE THE ALPHA. You're the head of the pack. If you do that, they won't dare harm you because they are naturally DIE HARD LOYAL to their Alpha.
Let's say you have a break in and people are attacking you. Your Ridgeback will fight the attackers TO THE DEATH to protect you and they TEAM attackers. I have two for that reason. My dogs work in tandom with no training, to coordinate a defense.
For example: when you open my door, you hear a very loud and exaggerated barking, that almost sounds like a Hound, coming from the back of the house. What you don't hear is the male. Because you'll see him standing right there silently walking up. The female barks to distract you and make you think the dog is far away from you, meanwhile the male is sneaking up to assess the situation. If he lets out a bark, the female runs up in defense mode. If he's silent, the female will trot over in investigative mode.
Why can't people be happy with the lovely family mongrels we always had and were very happy with. They never need behavourists to sort them out.
I dont understand so what is the correction required for this dog?
Prong collar leave the lead on give him a correction when he starts or what?
My Border collie puppy has been so similar with me and my partner. He will be an angel for my boyfriend, but for me he argues back against me, bites me and barks at me. I need to try and follow through when I tell him no x
What's this drop lead stuff all about? Have seen it a few different places. My dogs a nightmare with other dogs on lead but off lead he's a treat. He had a horrible history with leads so not sure if fixable?
Drop lead is meant that the lead is still clipped to his collar but you aren't holding it. So it is dropped on the floor and trailing beside him. You can easily pick up/grab the lead when you need to gain control.
This is my rhodesian ridgeback too! 100%
Rigid back needs so much exercise.
Kudos to the owners to realize the issue.
We've rescued a 3 year old rottweiler mix long time ago and he was doing the same thing. What we did, is we grabbed him by the neck and we put him down on the side, hold him by the neck with my knees on him until he calmed down. I don't know if it was the right thing to do but I figured that's what dogs do to each other.
We had to do this 3 times within a few days when it happened and he's never done it again for the next 15 years with us. He lived a long happy life ( 18,5 years ).
So this way worked for us. Maybe it wasn't a nice way to do it, but when you think about it, he wasn't nice either when he was jumping on us and biting us. So we matched it 😉
It's like people say put harness on your dog so you don't hurt the dog with beck collars. But it's OK for the dog to pull like crazy on the harness ripping our arms off. Come on ! 😀 😉
Love your videos ! 👌 Thank you !
Used to love Cesar Milan long way back. Now it's you and I go back to Cesar's videos too from time to time 😉
I'm not a Dog a dog trainer but an owner of 2 Lab Mixs , surely a question has to be asked " Why get a big Powerful Dog that has the potential to cause a lot of damage if the owners have never owned a Dog before ? "
Jackapoo . Frenchy , even a Chiwawa might be better breeds to start off with .
Its like buying a Honda Fireblade when you have never owned a Motorbike before
This is an amazing video. Please do not get this breed unless you have done a lot of research and understand the commitment it will require of you for the whole live of the dog. They are amazing but strong and the training never stops, every single day. They will test you to see if you forgot and if they can get away with it. Amazing independent thinkers and problem solvers so you need to be a team and understand how they think and process information so both find fulfillment in life.
Trainers need to learn dog body language
They are not a trainer if they don't know the basics about dogs. Whoever they took this dog too was not a trainer or anything.
@@Ryan-re1rs there are so many non trainers in the business. I saw Will with Tom Davis from America who has an excellent training service. In order to be a trainer you have to learn the entire range of opportunities you have to work with the dog.
Hi, would be good to see how you train high prey drive dogs. My Mali goes nuts when a motorcycle goes past. 😒
What a breed to choose for jumping into dog ownership. I've never really been exposed to Ridgebacks but the stereotype I've been exposed to in the USA is that they are strong and aggressive.
Yes some dogs are not for first time owners.. but at least they have common sense.
As a behaviourist myself, I am currently working with a dog where the owners were given the advice to spray him in the face with a water pistol. This is a "positive" trainer....... Where do they get this motion from that this is a good idea? Its basically punching your dog in the face
Good job big fella.😶
Benny from crossroads has let himself go
👍
People don’t understand these dogs, they are not like other breeds. I have 4 currently, no issues at all.
i'm i supposed to walk my dog on a leash or a chain?
