THIS Ruins Your Relationship With Your Dog

- How do you create the best relationship with your dog? Tom Davis works with a couple of dogs in his successful Out-of-state program at the Upstate Canine Academy. Oftentimes, dog owners give their dogs too much love and very little leadership. This will cause a big un balancing with your dog that could lead to behavioral problems.

What did you think of this video?! 👇🏻
Great teaching. Very helpful. Only ask is show more of the theory in action. Helps build my confidence to watch.
Awesome video learning more to train my doggie it's a working progress but your videos really are helping much love 💓 Tommy I will always be proud to be part of no bad dog Army 🪖
As usual this was a very informative eye opening video. Keep up the great work your making better dog owners every day, especially me. Thanks 😃
I like how you identify that people need a new skillset, and how people only have love to offer. Actually it's more reassurance than love because people are hardly walking around showing love all day. Discipline really has its roots in punishment by definition. I wonder if it might be better to move on from the words "discipline, order and boundaries”? What do owners want dogs to learn? To socialise well, and follow our instructions. What do people want dog owners to do? Take responsibility for and make dogs safe in society. What do dogs want owners to learn? How to be leaders and show leadership. Is that a circle?
Every video you post is so helpful! We are getting our new pup in March, cant wait to see your vids when you get yours. It does make me laugh though how people seem to forget how to just walk :)
"you are the problem but you are also the solution" What a powerful statement that describes exactly what most dog owners are. You are one of the few trainers that help people understand they are really the source of the dog issues. You are the GOAT Tom Davis.
Thank you, I try.
I always say, when people ask how come my dogs are so well behaved, "Disciplina es cariño" -> discipline is love.
no you dont.
I had to admit that I was insecure about the world and I kinda liked having a dog out in front of me but it wasn't what was best for her. Training her has helped me become more confident and secure since I realized that's what she needed.
Happpy for you!
I prefer my dog out in front out of the way of my stride on a casual walk. I am less likely to trip if I or my dog takes a misstep. I will call her to my left side when I need to with a separate command-she is still learning this at 9 months. She will also learn how to come to my right side. Its important to have CLEAR criteria for your dogs positioning and tension on the leash. I try to keep it as consistent as I can. Leash must be loose for forward movement. Tedious lesson but so important!!!
Yes, loose leash is EVERYTHING. Beckman also has some helpful tips for starting your walks on the right note before you even leave the house.
The thing I have learned the most from Tom is your dog has to trust you. Trust comes from structure and that is a form of affection. Not to mention structure is not only for them, It’s for you as well, the leader. As someone with a reactive GSD - his trust in me is my #1 priority especially in public. He needs to know that I will advocate for him and his space or else he will take matters into his own and that’s terrifying.
👏Best comment of the day. Human are not dogs, dogs are not humans. If we as trainers, handlers & owners don't teach the dog in our care to live with humans, the shelters will never be empty.
So happy you're taking things away from my videos, thanks for watching!
I think that once people understand that when their dog is overreacting and they pet the dog and tell it 'it's OK', they are telling the dog that their behavior is OK. The human thinks they're telling the dog they don't have to react like that, but the dog takes it as reinforcement of the behavior. In my opinion, this is why small dogs are so yappy. They bark, get picked up and bingo, the barking just got rewarded.
Then there’s the loud crowd that says don’t correct the barking. And just don’t correct. It’s silly.
@@lillieberger2883 My dog isn't a big barker. But sometimes when he sees a stranger in our complex he'll bark at them. I let it go for a little bit because he's doing his job, letting me know there's someone new outside. But then he has to stop when I tell him to.
barking itself is rewarding, it's really the lack of correction that allows it to continue.
Depends if it’s a behaviour or an emotion
@@In_the_life_of_pete Hmmm, interesting. Isn't responding emotionally a behavior?
I agree, its parenting. Love, guidance and discipline when needed. ❤🐾
Part of loving your dog is disciplining and setting boundaries especially ones that relate to your dog's breed.
I adopted A rescued 11 month old Boarder Collie 7 month ago who came with quite few issues which was over baring at times. It left me worrying weather I did the right thing by adopting her as I was scared I would let her down and ruin her life even more so. I really thought I was over my head until I started watching videos like yours which helps immensely. Now we have a lovely relationship because she started trusting me which came about with constant play, training and walks. I’ve managed to narrow down her issues too just a few which I am working on all the time. My worries have now lessened thank goodness. She is a beautiful, very intelligent dog and I wouldn’t swop her for anything. Thank you so so much for the help to constantly give out to us all.
That girl with the GSD was me early 2021. We got our puppy end of Jan 2020 not realizing the entire world would shut down which at the time I thought killed my ability to socialize him. So instead of starting to socialize him at 12 wks and 25lbs. I had to figure out how to socialize a 85lbs 6 month old dog who was still a puppy then it got worse with him being 2 yrs and 105#. It was rough I had absolutely no idea what I was doing which was so dangerous for not only him but everyone around me. Words can’t express how grateful I am for finding Tom and watching his videos to gain the confidence my pup needed from me. We started working hard on basic obedience because honestly without that you have nothing. Tom helped me not only understand how important foundation was but what a foundation was entirely.
Man, I got my cane corso mix during covid. I’m so glad that I found a local park where a skating rink had been commandeered by local dog owners for a dog park. We met every morning despite the lockdowns. Socialization is so important and many of us had puppies that needed it. I kinda miss them.
Actually exactely this is what was outstanding for me in this video and what I really cannot understand. Obviously it's your first dog and instead of taking a female Labrador or Poodle you take a dominante breed and of course a male one ... how can you fuck up of your life that much?
Never comfortable with dog out in front. He scans, for what? Nonsense. Retraining with him at or behind my hip. I am the leader, I love him dearly, but not having definite boundaries is not good.😮 This video is a great example of setting boundaries out of love.❤
I agree, but teaching your dog a nice loose leash walk is critical. My GSD is allowed to walk wherever she wants as long as she maintains a loose leash. She's getting much better about being reactive because of this as well- which has been awesome!😊
This would solve so many people problems with their dogs!!
This is making me tear up a bit because I am very strict with my dog and everybody says I'm too much and every time someone new is around her, she always gravitates towards them(she's a puppy) cause they let her do whatever and then I come in as a bulldozer and forbid certain behaviours. It's so reassuring to know I'm doing the right thing. ❤
Me too 💜
Inform the other people what you allow and don't right away.
My Exotic Bully just turned 5 months old, no ones allowed to pick him up, feed or give him treats, take him out or clean him up. Least until he's a year old.
I've had people, try to bring him up on their couches and I've immediately shut it down. My couch, yes, when I allow it. I don't want him thinking it's OK to get on any other persons couch.
I am very strict, but very loving and spoil him immensely. He will not leave my side, he always follows me everywhere. On walks hes never advancing ahead of me. Between the wife and I, I am without a doubt his person.
From moment I've gotten him hes been on a strict routine. Unfortunately dogs are heavily reliant on the routine, so whatever changes you make I'd suggest make them but gradually.
Also don't shy from being strict, just also don't be afraid to show her even more love, cause I know that feeling. My old Pitbull, chose my girlfriend as his person and it always gutted me.
Anyways hope that gets better, and for you're pups great health and happiness.
Just like with children, firm boundaries are important. I let my dog get away with certain things, but the rules I have are reinforced at all times. She still loves me, even if she’s not allowed in the kitchen. She loves me even though I don’t let her jump on people. She loves me even though she has to stay in the living room while I fetch packages from the front step. These things are good for them and good for you. It drives me nuts when people think basic boundaries are “abusive” or “mean”. That line of thinking is what makes dogs, and kids, dangerous.
Yes you are doing right thing
Zhahn-Pam with Team Peaches Dog Training and Education. I have trained dogs since 1969, Honestly, this is your best video. I have 8 dogs and there is no doubt in anyone's mind who is the leader of the family pack. Who is in charge and the disciplinarian, provider, protector, rule maker, and enforcer. I have worked hard to gain their respect, trust, and loyalty. Tom this is excellent advice.
I relate to the woman being interviewed. It makes me sad that my good intentions of being uber loving wasn't actually what was best for my dog. Thankfully now I can correct it. Recently I started being the leader she needs which included discipline and our relationship is better and her behavior is better. These are healthy boundaries Tom teaches.
Happy for you!
What an excellent video. What I’ve learned is love is structure - if you think love is never giving them boundaries you are removing their safety and knowledge of how things work and much needed social interactions with other dogs and humans.
My dog is the cutest little fluffball with the sweetest disposition. She failed 3 homes in 5 years because everyone wanted a cute dog and thought love was giving treats and compliments. This dog was terrified of her own shadow, pooped in the house, no trust, an emotional mess. I used trainers like Tom Davis to guide me into seeing what my dog needed and wanted and helped her achieve those things. She’s now 10 and proof that structure and learning moments and repetition and wrapping them all in love works. She has friends, greets strangers, follows commands, lives in a safe world we built together that allows her to live a joyful life (and she even has near perfect recall so she can go off leash when appropriate). Love alone destroys the best of dogs. If any dog could live on people’s adoration alone, mine is a shining example of how stupid humans are in thinking that is even possible. She has taught me more than I’ve ever taught all my dogs.
Most importantly it is never too late to begin training all over again . Love is always there, sometimes you just need to restructure the framework.
I love this video you are one of the few trainers that understands that all reward and no corrections is not good for anyone.
To see you work with people like me that are a work in progress instead of just demonstrating yourself is so helpful. Listening to you correct someone as the dog tries to regain control, I am able to see all the similar situations I go through and how to regain leadership myself. Thank you
This is the Best video for everybody who has problem with their dog(s)! It explains clearly the very basics of healthy relationship with dog and how to solve lot of problems. Thank you so mutch for this Tom!
Thank you, I hope it helps people
@@tomdavisofficial You already helped to me with your vids becouse your style of training is most efective for me
@@tomdavisofficial aaaand This vid I will share with everybody who would like to know how to be happy owner of happy dog. Thank you so mutch again!
No boundaries, leadership or discipline is just as important for dogs as it is for children. Good behaviour is a wonderful thing. Thanks for your videos Tom, you truly are an amazing educator
I'm a trainer as well and i love what you're teaching Tom. Our Philosophies are very similar
So one thing that I get very confused about is - walking a dog next to or behind me and enforcing that - and all the information about how we have to let our dogs sniff on a walk. That it's unreasonable to expect a structured/solid heel on the entire walk. So I'd love some feedback on how others balance this.
What I do is heel walking a bit and I'll tell her to go "free," so she'll sniff around and when we're ready to walk, I'll have her heel walk again. It just has to be you dictating when the dog gets to sniff or play. I find that's a good balance. I take her hiking to let her be more a dog, without being on leash.
Thank you Tom, watching your videos it feels like such common sense training. It's really training the dog owners to reprogram their reaction and when and how to correct. To take the leadership role and the dog have confidence in their handler.
People don't realize that when they say: "It's okay", they're actually rewarding the bad behaviour because the dog only hears the tone which is soft - there's no direction or consequences for their behaviour, just reward.
Yep!
It’s the same for family and friends who say “it’s ok” when my dog is 100% not acting ok to them. I struggle with the control aspect in those situations. So it’s on me for sure.
@mattmoxhay750 I know what you're talking about. When I was a dog walker, there was one dog in my pack who would jump on people when off-leash on trail. They would say: "It's okay. I love dogs." I would then say to them: "Yes, but he's 65 lbs - would you love him if he jumped on your 70 year old grandmother or your four-year-old child?!"
This has helped me so much, Tom has such an amazing ability to assess the issue AND translate what is going on for the hoomans 💖
Thanks for watching!
I am binging your videos. Thank you for all the amazing videos you’re sharing with the world!
My miniature schnauzer is very chaotic on a leash and reactive to other dogs so I am trying to apply your lessons on him. ❤
Love your videos... wish I lived closer so I could attend some training in person. This one is very informative... That white Cano-Corso (?) at the end of your video is very much like my 3 yr old English Mastiff who always wants to be in front of me. When I take him out for walks or socialization, I feel like I'm constantly popping his collar, tugging him back and giving correction. He's 160lbs and wears me out... ha. He's even worse when we walk him together w/his lab sister and then he definitely wants to lead, which leads to more pinch-collar popping, elevated anxiety on my part, etc... the cycle continues until we quit. Thanks again for the video, they're very helpful.
My coworker heard about how much I “let my dog get away with” and said that I must be too soft on her. Wrong. I have rules and boundaries that are firm. She knows what lines she can and cannot cross without discipline. I allow her on the couch to snuggle with me, she has her own rocking chair, I give her some bits of people food that I know is safe, but I don’t let her get away with everything. Rules are consistent and firmly maintained. She’s actually a very happy dog and is fairly obedient. She’s got a few triggers that have been difficult for us to get beyond, but we’re working on it. Poor thing has been attacked by five small dogs, and one was recently, so that trigger is the hardest to overcome at the moment.
Best dog trainer. Thanks
"I love you, but I won't respect you". Bingo! I say this to so many of my students. Loving leadership - Will Atherton likes to say - is absolutely what every dog needs.
Great info! So so many people overlook the leadership relationship that they need to have with their dog. And so many people unknowingly reward unwanted behavior by trying to soothe and comfort the dog instead of applying calm, gentle, but assertive correction. Many people wrongly assume that leadership involves being “mean” to the dog. Trust, leadership and love can coexist!
Thanks for sharing!
I liked this video but I have one concern. I've heard that putting signs around your property saying your dog is dangerous or bites, or like the trainer's hat says "my dog bites" may not be a good idea from a lawsuit perspective if anything ever happened as you are admitting to the crime more or less. I understand why you'd want to from a logic perspective, and for deterrence, but legal issues can be different.
"Posting a 'Beware of Dog' sign or similar warning could prove to be an admission of the dog's aggressive nature. Dog owners must prove the victim of the attack was illegally on the property to eliminate liability."
You could probably post "dog on property" signage at home, and figure out something else for his hat like "please don't pet dog" without indicating danger to people rather than to the dog. E.g. you could say dog on property warning so no one is surprised or lets the dog out, etc. rather than signs indicating that the dog would confront them, bite them, attack them. Don't pet the dog because he has sensitive ears, skin, etc. It's silly but the law can be like that.
Thank you very much for sharing this precious insight! 🙂
Thanks for watching!
It’s so obvious with our human interactions but Wish I’d understood that boundaries and respect are part of building a healthy relationship with my dog too!!!
Thanks a lot for that ; makes sense.
However, that s hard to keep up on a daily basis. Sometimes you feel like going back on track and gets tired.
You’ve put this so nicely. I’m going to make this required watching for my friends who think I’m too strict and love to walk my fabulous dog.
Thank you!
Yay! You said it. The owner is the problem. And the owner is the solution. Every time.
Bingo
Excellent!!!!❤️
Thank u ❤❤❤❤ this was the right answers what i needed right now 😊
Glad it helps!
Love does not lack leadership or discipline.
That's exactly what this video is about! 80% of dog owners are tipped way over on the love with little to no leadership, which causes all these behavioral issues.
Odd request, PLEASE restock those leashes!
When I first bought one, I thought I’d never want to spend so much on a leash. But now, I really dislike using anything else I’ve found. I can’t WAIT to buy 5 more so I’m fully stocked for my business.
Thanks!
Working on it! Newer, better and cheaper!
@@tomdavisofficial 0.o and here I was more than happy with the old ones!
100%. I love him, and i don't like seeing my pup scared of things, but him running into the house scared isn't helping him. Never have I let him into the house so scared he can't give me a hand target and his paw. Whether that helps, i don't know. But between your videos and other balanced trainers I've worked *hard* on counterconditioning my 7 month old Belgian Malinois. And we can almost get him to the busy street he hates while still taking food. He's even started to take food in and around the college which is HUGE because he would never take food unless we're settled in the class or the library.
And it all started with understanding, and getting a prong collar for him. Once i had that confidence he wasn't going to pull me over, I could start training him properly without having that constant anxiety passed down the leash to him. So thank you Tom! I can nov actually see him being an absolutely fantastic service dog one day now!
Can you hire a trainer in your area to work with you both? Your dog sounds like he's terrified. I can't see how he can become a support dog when he needs support himself. I have to ask if a Belgian malanois the right breed for you? They need a ton of exercise and intellectual stimulation like proper dog tactical training. They are brilliant police and army dogs. He may be anxious because he has nothing to do and he's over worried. Usually specially bred calm labradors make the best support dogs. You might get some help at your states K9 police unit. Maybe they can assess your dog? And maybe show you the type of training they do, which also balances their dogs energy and brain needs.
@@deefee701 to start, I've been to see a trainer, and I'm going to be honest here, the one I found with all those great reviews felt like a huge waste of time and money. I got more value from different dog trainers on TH-cam than I did IRL.
Second, my Mal actually doesn't have a huge drive for physical activity. He's perfectly content to run around the yard, play in the snow with me, or curl up for a nap. As for the mental side, I got that covered.
Third, I've spent on enormous amount of time counterconditioning his fears. We can now almost get to the busy road and he still takes food, whereas before he wouldn't even take food two houses down. He no longer has fear when cars or people pass in our front yard. In fact now I have to teach him how to please not run up and greet strangers. 😅.
And lastly, about a month and a half ago, I thought about giving him up when I was at the end of my rope. But the only home I could trust him going to (and could trust myself to find), decided they couldn't handle a puppy at that time. So, I knew I just had to deal. I knew I loved him, and I wanted the best, so now *I* was going to have to provide that instead. And I have been.
@@deefee701agree, I have a fear reactive GSD . I trained with an ex police officer that still trains police K9s. He did very well, but will forever be reactive. Sometimes it’s just genetics and you figure out how to deal with it. He would make an absolutely horrible service dog. I have also never seen a malinois as a service dog, they are high energy and cannot be expected to chill for hours at a time.
That first GSD is a very cool looking dog. I agree that a dog like that needs a good leader. That does not mean something macho, or mean, or authoritarian. But just someone who means what (s)he says and sticks to it. I can say that because I have gone through the exact same thing and had to learn as well.
Exactly. Defining these terms is so important. Terms like discipline, structure, and punishment have been so manipulated it's scary. We use these things every single day in our lives.
And let's not forget "accountability". So very important
So good ❤
Thank you!
Another well done session, Tom!
Thank you!
Excellent video!
Thank you!
I love and respect my dog and I know he loves and respects me because when he needs to know he is NOT to do a thing, I can tell him and he'll get it. Usually after the second time he does it. His job as a dog is simple. Love life and be there when my fibro flares up.
Time to train more owners 😅😅
Yep! I was just about to say it’s just like having a kiddo
Yup
I’ve learned a bit from your videos and it’s been quite helpful. I have had big dogs my whole life of different breeds, but this is my first German Shepherd/ Belgian Malinois mix. When strangers walk towards my direction, my dog gets defensive but I’m able to correct it right away.
When my dad walks towards her direction, my direction or even says my name, my dog reacts much more defensive than with strangers and it is very hard to get her to stop, I can get her to stop but it’s not easy and she has no problem walking towards him. The problem has only increased with time, no matter how many times or ways I try to correct it and I haven’t found a video that goes over this particular issue. I have got to a point where… I need help.
Discipline is a form of love for our dogs. It helps them develop an ever stronger bond than love without discipline.
Would be really helpful to have examples with dogs in harness. I’m very reluctant to put a leash on the collar of a mini poodle, although he has a tag for ID.
Tom - great video. I take my dogs out a couple times a day for more of a relaxing walk where I let him sniff - I've heard this is important for dogs. How do you differentiate a serious heel walk from a "sniffie walk"
Pretty much sums it all up for a lot of people.
Yup!
I have done everything wrong and I have created a monster it's 100% my fault so now I don't know how to fix it 😢
Not too late, start over.
Start at the beginning with basic obedience and be consistent the rest will follow.
I did, too, with good intentions probably like you. You're in good hands with Tom. Watch the videos, then practice the basics. There really is something to the body language he shows. I was very insecure but I practiced being confident for my dog so I could be the leader she desperately needed. Don't be afraid to correct your dog it doesn't hurt them using the techniques he uses. I promise it will get better.
I'm both my dogs know how far he goes we don't go after people that's a NoNo but he can still be protective but in my boundaries been doing this for a long time but I m a dog trainer I think you have to be comfortable and so is your dog in any he also has to know his boundaries with you I think this is one of your best videos I've watched I watch all your videos but I think I like this one
Could you please post a video showing some successful leash pressure training with dogs that are highly unmotivated by food? We’ve been attempting to train my pomsky for the two years we’ve had her using play as the reward, but for the life of me, we can’t seem to communicate about leashes and walking. Treats mean almost nothing to her after one or two, even the most high-value hot dogs or marshmallows or sausage, etc. She freely walks away from it all. But she will do almost anything for play time. We just can’t figure out the proper way to motivate her to learn to walk nicely on a leash using play as the reward without completely going against the lessons we’re trying to instill.
I have a bad relationship with my dogs but I am trying to get better. Trying to train my 13 week old aussie....
Same I am totally to blame
@kimpaton1514 at least we take responsibility of what we do wrong. Hoping watching videos and learning more I can do right with the puppy.
Exactly! Awareness and accepting your flaws is key to progression, I hope you and your Aussie build an awesome relationship. Best part about training a dog is you get to learn about yourself too, good luck
@@Mr.Sunshine805 thank you! 😊
@@Mr.Sunshine805
"Learning about yourself..."
So true!
For me, my new dog has forced me to deal with my issues.
I have depression and anxiety and decided that it may be a good time to get another dog, emotional support.
Adopted a 5 year old female GSD, who turned out to be very fearful.
Instead of emotional support, I have been forced to deal with my fears, in order to help Lucy get over her's.
It's been 4 months, and we still have a long way to go. She still doesn't "play", so her only exercise is walking.
Will be getting with a trainer to help with her reactivity to people and dogs (it's when we are outside, at home).
Definitely need professional help with getting her neutral around dogs.
The shelter said she was dog tested, not sure if that was true, or I did something wrong. Tested her with a friend's very neutral dog, and it was a mixed bag. Reacted to the test dog, but also had her in a down/stay with the other dog 4' away, and behind her.
She was completely focused and engaged with me.
Never give up! It's a lot of work building that relationship, and creating the structure they need.
I was going to say, that if you aren't up to the task, get a Chihuahua, but they need the same structure, just like any other dog.
I somehow did a dog right. I have no experience and it's not my dog, but I am now the favorite human for this animal and we have a great relationship. I never treated her like a dog....I treated her like a child that had dog wants ...and that needed guidance as much as freedom. I don't think I have ever said no to her....and I never showered her in treats for behavior. I actually gave treats randomly. I think what she responded to most was my total focus and attention....and because it was %100 genuine...we both fell into a great relationship. I studied her every behavior and verbally fed it back to her constantly....I really believe she knew what I was doing with her.....and she responded in kind. She learned me as I learned her.
My routine is everything with my shepherd.
Love seeing dogo argentinos! Best breed ❤
Tom do you have a training of how to train not just recall but also not to take off ... attention boundaries when distracted some dogs get it the recall to come back but they get distracted and they don't come back
My dog always wants to get in front of me, and I can't figure out how to stop it. I try to go faster, but then he goes faster. I'll slow this video down and watch it again...hopefully will learn pointers.
That Dogo was a beautiful beast.
What are your thoughts on bark collars
My ride back dante is inpasiont and territorial what is your advice?
So, I'm taking on a Romanian Rescue, mixed breed mongrel, so not fully sure of his make up, all I know is he's a soft looking lad. Anyway, he's 1.5 years old, has lived in a home, but we don't know when or for how long, he was abandoned in a local park known for 'dog drop offs' and joined with a pack of strays, the shelter he's at right now did say he's very social with dogs and humans - so no fears, but in terms of general training, there's nothing so it's a complete unknown - but I am determined to save him either way.
What's the first things I should do? Early doors I want to have him trust me and seek guidance from me.
What if the dog is reactive to other people in the house, and other dogs in the house? Do you have suggestions on what I can do to stop this behavior? Thanks!
I live on 130 acres in Tennessee no one here has dogs on leads. If the dog respects you then you don't need tether it to your arm. I have 4 American Pit Bull Terriers i hunt hogs with. They live outside not chained or fenced in they just stay near my horses most the time if they aren't chasing squirrels up trees or catching raccoons rummaging through my burn pile. I have trackers on my dogs and horses but my dogs never ran away. Only one time did i have to go search for one when i called her name but I found her digging out a fox den.
I have a question I have a reactive dog he hates anybody except for our immediate family my husband myself our daughter he hates other dogs. I’m trying to work with him but what do you do? Where do you send them or have people take care of them for vacation, we don’t take a vacation unless he can go because of his reactivity
That Dogo is beautiful
What kinda leash and collar is that on the white dogo?
It's so much easier to know with a child when to turn it on or off😅 and just like with children it all depends on who you ask for a dog trainer 2
Pretty dog ❤
what is that black and white dog
Something I have learned is to teach people foreign language terms ( don't matter what it is easy to say is all that matters)that way people only use that command when it's actually desired and they tend to keep the same tone pitch and melody which is vital with k9s more than the words themselves
Was that black & white dog a Portuguese Water Dog? If so.. I totally understand what the owners are going through.. those little guys are stubborn little mother truckers who think they're the tough guy until something ACTULLY happens and then they turn chicken (our little dude is like this all the time). Strong leadership is a must with ours too!
Not sure!
I have a two year old toy poodle, when I tell him to come, he runs around barking thinking it’s a game of chase, I need help!
What breed is the black and white dog in this video?
Its a positive thing people have all that love for doggos but no matter the breed do obedience training, recall, all that.. if you dont train well and thats also a training for the owner obviously
Somebody gets hurt if its the dog being unstable, stressed eating the couch, you falling in the winter being pulled to neighbors dog or something worse, even your cuddlebug labrador has strong biteforce if it matters..
It’s parenting. Gotta start establishing ground rules since day one show these beautiful beasts who’s boss or they just won’t respect you and run your house. I got a 6 month old cane corso being raised my 4 year old dogo argentino. (Both females) and they love each other.
Getting frustrated with you dog will also ruin your relationship.
Yes.
Dog is guarding here
When it comes to the dog, “You Are The Boss”. You are in charge. However that does not mean you have to be a dick. Let them be a dog. But when they start to go to far you gotta take charge. That’s what the dog wants needs you will have a much better relationship with your pet.
What breed is that white dog? He looked sort of like a boxer, sort of like a pit bull.
Doggo Argentino

The girl with the German Shepherd is a dangerous combination
I don't think so. She showed up for training and wants to learn how to get better and she totally did.
I adopted a 5 year old female GSD. I chose her because she wasn't plastered to the back of the kennel, wasn't excited and jumping at the gate, barking. Came over to me, smelled me and laid down by me. Bio said she was dog tested, and house broken.
She turned out to be a very fearful girl.
I've raised one dog (33 lb terrier mix), and have had people in the comments tell me basically the same thing "re-home the dog, you're in over your head", especially since I have depression and fear based anxiety (got another dog for emotional support. Ended up with a dog just like me).
At first I thought I made a huge mistake bringing this dog home.
Slowly, I crawled out of my hole, and I realized that it wasn't the end of the world, and because of her, forced me to stop being afraid of everything, and go about our life together (still a work in progress. If I'm feeling off, we just practice obedience so she's not exposed to my fear).
I too will be reaching out to a trainer, as nothing could have prepared me for such a fearful dog.
The fact that this woman is getting help with her dog should be applauded.
Too many people are clueless, lazy, or don't even believe in training their dogs (my friend who owns 2 rotti's. "I don't want my dogs to be robots").
I hate questions like "Do I have to not be as loving? Do I have to cut anything out?" because they don't realize they're basically asking "can I keep all the behaviors that encourage my dog to act up, and not have it act up?" and the answer to that is obviously NO!!!
If you truly "love" your dog, train it and make it respect you. Make it obey you, and give it discipline. If you just want a huge oxytocin machine, buy a teddy bear or a hamster or something. A dog is nothing more than a domesticated wolf. If you forget that, people can get hurt or killed, and so can your dog. Again, if you really "love" your dog, dial down the affection and dial up the discipline.
I just watched a dog walking a person
MAN'S BEST FRIEND = 2024$
A man’s best friend is still his faithful dog
Who anxiously awaits his return home.
Where would man be without his canine love
When his human mates have left him alone.
If a man was as good as his dog thinks
He'd be more famous than a football star.
It's too bad our wives don't feel the same way
I guess it’s because they know how we are.
Man has no fear of his dog's love for life
Though it’s usually man who buries his pet.
It matters not be they large or small
What animal has loved man more, as yet?

Funny, I have never let my horses in front of me on lead but I have always walked my dogs in front of me on leashes. Huh…
I liked this video but I have one concern. I've heard that putting signs around your property saying your dog is dangerous or bites, or like the trainer's hat says "my dog bites" may not be a good idea from a lawsuit perspective if anything ever happened as you are admitting to the crime more or less. I understand why you'd want to from a logic perspective, and for deterrence, but legal issues can be different.
"Posting a 'Beware of Dog' sign or similar warning could prove to be an admission of the dog's aggressive nature. Dog owners must prove the victim of the attack was illegally on the property to eliminate liability."
You could probably post "dog on property" signage at home, and figure out something else for his hat like "please don't pet dog" without indicating danger to people rather than to the dog. E.g. you could say dog on property warning so no one is surprised or lets the dog out, etc. rather than signs indicating that the dog would confront them, bite them, attack them. Don't pet the dog because he has sensitive ears, skin, etc. It's silly but the law can be like that.
So i find that hat questionable. Also, at distance or at a glance, it could be confused with a maga hat with the color combination which could have it's own fallout for good or ill at any given time.
There should be a standard dog psychology test that has to be taken and passed before someone is allowed to purchase a dog. Too many dogs in the wrong hands.
How long does this take?
My dog's CAN learn, he's not doing this.
excuse new to English please.
This took a couple hours
That German Shepherd looks too big for the lady. Huskies for the win!
20% is dog 80% is human
Where are you out of? I’ve got 2 great dogs….but “I “ need help. Very aggressive towards others
My Germans know when daddy is mad, not wife!
We do need to work on respect.
Great instructional video. Either you train the dog or the dog will train you! You need to be the ALPHA!
thnak you
Ok people it's called puppy class TRAINING...... DO IT .
'Love' is a human emotion. Dog's don't understand love, they understand respect. Your dog should respect (not fear) you.
