Dog Aggression Training - Randy's Case
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2020
- This video represents one of the most challenging cases I've worked with. At the time of this video Randy is a 8 months old Shiba Inu with sever behavioral issues such as, food aggression, handler aggression and animal aggression specially with dogs and cats.
A according to Randy's parents his aggressive tendencies started when Randy was 6 months old, he first bit his dad, as seen in the video at the dining table while they were eating food.
since then Randy's aggression had gotten worst even with their attempt of hiring two trainers to address his problems but the trainers were not able to successfully eliminate the aggression.
when I met Randy I saw how tense he was to any touch and observed his reactiveness and aggression first hand through our first initial consultation.
praising Randy was extremely difficult due to his reaction to being touched.
The result you see is after two weeks of board and training. Although there is still more work to be done, I'm very pleased with the outcome.

My shiba inu was never aggressive, she was socialized very early with dogs and cats as a puppy. She’s super lovable and sweet and loves kids.
Before watching this video, I have seen many Shiba Inu videos on youtube and they seem like cute and gentle breed to me, but now my perception has changed after seeing such ferocious dog. Again hats off to the trainer who changed Randy behaviour and socialized him.
Every dog is different. Some are sweet, some are shy, some are aggressive. Steps must to taken to train them on acceptable behavior
They don't tend to be very aggressive normally, the trainer mentions this one had been allowed to get away with bad behavior by the owners, so his anti social aggression is rather anomalous.
Japanese dogs are different because they like to think on their own rather than follow commands like Western dogs. Most Shibas are okay, but there are a few you really need to know how to train.
They have really strong personalities, that's for sure. My shiba is very friendly, but he has his limits. He doesn't really like to be touched and if you insist he'll growl and bite you. They're not cuddly and they don't enjoy belly rubs, like other dogs do, which can be confusing even when it comes to experienced dog owners. They're basically cats in diguise, so you need to be careful. Our boy is slowly getting better bc we refuse to let him take over, but it's been hard, his first month here was CHAOTIC.
@@milenaavila1603 my shiba puppy absolutely loves belly rubs. She moves our hands or grunts when we stop petting her. She didn’t like to be carried at first, but I insist on everyone picking her up any second anyone gets. So she’s okay with it now. She’s only 16 weeks, but we have been socializing and training her like crazy. She’s definitely stubborn, but absolutely not aggressive. She also loves to cuddle.
You made me cry. What a wonderful teacher you are. Amazing. You are an Angel. If there is a god, he will bless you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much 🖤❤️
Loved this so much!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I thought impossible to train but u make it look so easy
Wow, what a transformation. We just adopted a 3-year old one-eyed Shiba, and he only has very basic training and bites hands if surprised. I have an appointment with a trainer, but wasn't sure how much was possible. He is a bit older, but this gives me hope! Thank you
Good job. This vid makes me miss my shiba!!!
This amazing transformation! I was watching a bunch of aggressive shiba training. Watching some made me realize mine isn’t so bad. I just need to train mine better on not bite when it comes to getting picked up sometimes coz she’ll growl at me & will use teeth. At dog parks or walk has improved lots she’s good at being off leash now. Still runs off & sometimes agressive to some dogs it’s selective and she’ll snap lately hasn’t been agressive! Been working on leave it. Also need to get her comfortable with guests coming in the house coz she’s protective af!
where can i watch the other videos?
Wow! This is incredible 👏🏻👏🏻 You did such a good job. Thanks for sharing this journey! :) We have a Shiba girl and she’s actually a kind dog, sometimes she growls when we pick her up, but not very often. The only thing we want to work on is that she gets aggressive/jealous when she has to share water with other dogs. She thinks it’s her bowl of water and whenever a dog wants to drink from it she gets aggressive and starts to fight. Same when we give her treats like chew sticks or dried meat etc. - We have two cats at home and we offer enough water bowls which works great, but when she gets a chew stick, she has to get in her box and we close the gate. Otherwise she starts to defend the food, even when she just sees the cat in distance. Any tips?
I too have a black and tan shiba named Randy! He’s also aggressive but not quite to this extreme.
This lady has great skills and a great cat
Yo Randy was savage af in the beginning lol!! Awesome progress! I have one as well and the breed is known to be anti social and can become aggressive if not properly socialized. Socialize them younger the better they may still not prefer to be around strangers or other dogs but key is teach them to at least be tolerant. Discipline is a must, they know what they can get away with and as their owner you must command authority. No abuse but have a stern voice and disengage if disobedient. They are very good motivated so always reward for good behavior! Take them to puppy socialization, dog parks or daycare. Otherwise you gonna get snapped by the alligator.
Agree 100%. However it’s best to stay out of dog parks due to the fenced yard and pack mentality of same group of dogs being there due to people finding dog park friends and going at the same time. Dogs can take on the pack mentality and lots of bullying can happen.
When at the beginning you said "It's pretty rough... I'm kinda not looking forward to it" I felt you. My puppy has food aggression - it really makes your heart sink if a dog is aggressive. Wanted nothing more all my life than a dog and thought I was so well prepared, I did exercises around the food bowl to countercondition and desensitize and yet still often let her eat in peace... So I did everything trainers recommend, and still she is food aggressive. Apart from that, I think I did a good job for a first time dog owner - she is well socialized to the environment and dogs, will even go on public transport with me; she can sit, down, stay, go-around (she runs around an object I put in the distance), center (she goes between my legs), paw, look at me, leave it, and of course here... is quite good (though not perfect) on the leash, can fetch a ball (though drop it somewhere around me, not in my hand) and all that. Still, there is the food aggression, and it just feels like a heavy stone on my heart. I don't know wether that's the right way to say it in English, but that's how it feels.
Anyway, thank you for bringing videos out there where you deal with truly aggressive dogs, thank you for being honest about how even as a trainer you sometimes feel bad about aggression in dogs, and thank you of course for the educational content!
Thank you, yes unfortunately the behavior modification is very stressful both for the dogs and us as trainers. Things are changing and can escalate quickly. Patience and practice is the key.
thanks for the videos :)
Oh my gosh!!! Yay!!! Goooooo you!!! Everyone in my household needs to watch this -.- they keep letting him get away with things and he's getting a freaking attitude!
Shiba's are very challenging dogs. You did a great job with him
This video makes me so so happy. I have a 2 1/2 year old Shiba who is a very smart little girl. I love your modeling of consistency and calm reactions when training. The best thing I did when I got my Shibe as a pup was find a strong trainer who used positive behavior supports and who trained me on how to train her. She is a happy generally very well behaved dog, I can take almost anywhere.
My shiba loves all people but there’s something about certain dogs that he just can’t be near them. He loves and plays with many dogs but will snap at others immediately. It’s very unpredictable and hard to deal with.
same with mine
same for mine
Same with mine!
Hi there - great video! I have a question if you don't mind. Background: My 2yo shiba Kobe is nothing like this, he never shows his teeth to people and super confident, friendly and approachable with humans. He used to be like that with other dogs too but once he hit puberty he is now only friends with his day ones. He is also big and strong at 16kg so he knows he can dominate a lot of the new dogs that he meets. The problem is he is very calm and composed, never barks in anger and shows no signs of aggression until the dog comes close enough to him that he can pounce on them and try and bite their snout. Sometimes he will also use his front paws to grab the other dog and hold him while he tries to attack them, it's pretty vicious and all happens in a split second so I have to watch him like a hawk if there are stranger dogs near us. He's better with females than males and can get used to a new dog after meeting them a several times. My problem is that he gives no warning signs and attacks super quick. It seems like he's hyper dominant with other dogs, it all started when he turned 11 months and seems to just get worse now. Any idea how I can start to remedy this?
Showing progress is wonderful. How did you do it?
It’s not something you give step by step too. It’s like diagnosing a sick person, treatment plan for that specific patient, adjusting things on the way based on feedback of the animal. I wish I could.
The thing with my Shiba is sometimes she plays and gets along very well with other dogs, even the ones she doesn't know. And sometimes she just doesn't. She was well socialized from the very start and was super playful. She began to show these mood changes just before her first heat (which happened very very soon, at 4-5 months, even though she is large in comparison to other Shibas). And even after we sterilized her, she is still not 100% reliable.
Our female is the same. She’ll get in scraps with our male based on the randomest triggers, luckily he’s like twice her size and won’t let her get away with it. We know it’s gonna be bad when she doesn’t bark or growl but instead gets super silent pins her ears back and tries to sneak up behind him. Last time it was because we put a cone on him lol I guess she thought he was an alien
I want to know if you can touch him hug him or play him without the leash after the training.
Hello. I just discovered your channel due to the fact that I was researching Shiba Inu aggressive/ reactiveness. You had mentioned to another viewer that it is important to learn the dog's language. Any recommendations on how to learn more about that... sounds interesting. I've looked a documentaries on wolves and the hierarchy that exists in a pack, however if I act like a wolf pack leader my neighbors would report me for animal abuse, because that's the way other humans perceive certain ways of relaying dominance to ones dog. I'm not talking about hitting or harming the dog of course, but just being assertive and trying to snap the dog out of it's reactive/ lunging behavior with a firm touch. Once my dog locks eyes on another dog or stranger he wants to attack. He is extremely insecure. I'd LOVE to get your point of view.
Thank you for your comment, I’m sorry to hear about your struggle with dog aggression. To start any behavior modification you have to rule out the underlying cause. History of the dog is very important, from where you obtained the dog, rescue, breeder, how old was your pup or dog when you obtained him and the kind of environment he was in before coming to you. If you have no history on your dog observing his behavior around his triggers can help you understand why he is acting the way he is. Is he backing away? are his eye round and wide? is he lunging and backing away? Is he intending to bite another dog? Does he seem stressed or excited? Is he protecting your space? Is he over stimulated or excited to play?
Finding all these answers to these important questions can help you determine the cause and come up with a training plan. Try using a muzzle if you’re unsure of what he might do, start with baby steps, get him to understand to focus on you and have him master approaching other dogs without reacting and then just sitting with you. Socialize him and take him out more often, dogs need at least 2 hrs of outdoor walk and 30-45 minutes of running/playing a day. You’re dog could be frustrated if he doesn’t get out often. Also work on him daily, 30-45 minutes training sessions getting him to perform a few cues for you on command helps you have a better language and understand when you need his attention without the distractions.
Hope this all helps. Also don’t worry about what people think, everyone has their own way of parenting, you cannot lead when you’re fearful yourself. If leash correction don’t seem to help your dog might be too over stimulated, try using an E-collar but first learn how to use it by hiring a professional trainer. Never use e-collar as form of punishment rather learn the language, practice daily with your dog and teach them the concept and then translate that to situations with higher stimulation. I use Garmin sport pro for most my sever cases. It prevents injury from using force and is much more positive and efficient way of training .
Best of luck to you
Oiih'what lovely dogs,,little funny too, but you help this dogs , very good. Animals its best friends ❤😄🐕🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾👍🌟❤🌅Byee
I'd love to see how you actually correct behavior like when he walked out of the heel you called him into
From : James H. Mathewson Sr. Did you know that ✨GOD✨ controls the bird’s of the air and the beasts of the field ? looks to me like your dog is smiling 👍😀☝️ ! The Joy of the ✨LORD✨ is our Strength !!!
🖤❤️🤍
poor kitty
Alteori Yeah wasn’t much fan of the cats before! Now he plays with all dogs and animals no problem.
@@heavensentk-9960aaaaaaw that's awesome to hear :D
my dog needs this
Also, I might want to add... Seeing day 1 vs day 4 - that was awesome progress. You did basically the kind of desensitation where you showed him simply that growling and snapping doesn't make you back down, right? Not a ton of throwing treats whenever and whereever you approach, right? I am still thinking about my puppy's resource guarding and while I sure don't want to punish her and make her more stressed in eating situations, I had done the treats when I approach her food since I got her and it obviously didn't work.
Thank you for your feedback, yes your best bet is to catch it and reward the wanted behavior before the unwanted is rehearsed. That means managing the environment while in training so the pup has no chance of rehearsing the bad habits. Keep in mind resource guarding has a genetical component to it so most likely the parents had same issues. It takes patience and training.
@@heavensentk-9960 Yes, I can't imagine the resource guarding of my puppy is my fault alone - I never took something from her without trading her something good for the taken item, and we have a good bond in other regards. My dog trainer and other long time dog breeders, owners, and Schutzhund- and hunting dog trainers I know complimented how well trained she is. Can't imagine this is all my fault. Thank you!
That 🐈 just be chilln
What do you recommend for aggression towards other dogs especially in house?
Absolutely amazing!!! I have a shibu just like randy same color and everything. He is now 2 1/2 and is beginning to become aggressive ☹️ he bit me and my dad. I’m now working really hard to learn what I can to train him. I just do not understand where his aggression came from from some times just out of the blue he gets aggressive for no reason. Any thoughts or tips?
I have a lot of knowledge on several breeds so I hope I can help you or at least give you some usable advice. Shiba Inu’s are very intelligent and need a lot of stimulation such as learning new tricks, consistent exercise, or anything that will involve them thinking and using their brain. Without this it causes them to become bored and that boredom leads towards aggression. This is why most people think Shiba’s are aggressive but in reality they just need attention. The second main factor is that you let your Shiba get away with too much as a puppy ( idk your life it’s just a guess ) most people spoil their puppies but training is a must with Shiba’s as they are divas and without set rules THEY WILL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE!! Anyways I hope this helped :)
Skylar Ferro thanks so much for that!! I have now been working with my dog max for a few days and he’s already show major signs of improvement!!
James Camier Thats wonderful to hear!!! ❤️❤️ I’m sure you and Max appreciates it a lot!
Skylar Ferro Thank you for the advice. Yes Shiba’s are known to be strong headed and they don’t belong in an inexperienced dog owner.just like any dog setting boundaries and balanced amounts of love and discipline prevents issues from happening.
Thank you for your comment and I’m very sorry to hear that. Seems like your dog has disrespectful behaviors towards you. In a pack of dogs there’s hierarchy and seems like your dog has mistaken his place for the leader, controlling you as a lower pack member. In human world we communicate differently and more peacefully but the dog’s genetics and behavior is greatly different that ours. To have a better relationship with your dog every owner must study dog language- body language, canine language and so on. Understanding their language helps us understand where is the source of their behavior. Start demanding from your dog, work on basic and off-leash training, walk different places, balanced love and discipline. Don’t feel bad to set down rules or your dog will. Aggression happens over a course of few months sometimes years, very rarely due to traumatic experiences we will see sudden appearance of aggression. Work hard and stay patience. Keep your dog accountable and be firm but gentle.
Best of luck and happy training.
When shibe doge joins the darkside of the force.
I am having an issue with my 5 month old shiba inu he keeps attacking my 4 year old female shiba, I am in desperate need of help
I have a shiba inu. He does not bite me or the ones he trusts. I can put my hand while he’s growling at other dogs and he won’t bite me. However, i don’t know why he’s friendly towards some dogs and not towards others. Sizes, gender and temper can very. For example, he’s very gentle towards a small super senior blind dog. They’ve known each since My dog was a puppy so I think that’s why my dog is careful with him. With other small dogs he will lay down like In hunting position and wait like he’s going to hunt them down. He has a couple best friends though . One is a young beagle with lots of energy. She will jump literally on him , nibble him and he will not react, let her do whatever she wants to him and just play. But other dogs (seems at random) he will just growl and show teeth. Idk what to do. My bf recently rescued a corgi mixed with pitbull (we think , size of a corgi and face of a pitbull). She only wants to play and love everyone. Extremely submissive , but my dog does not like her.
is this disposition a tendency with shiba inus?
I have two shiba I suspect the owners must of been busy and left the dog alone as a puppy. Shibas are independent but their not literal cats because puppies need a lot of attention. My second shiba has a bad attitude I suspect she would be as bad as him if I did not give her attention as a puppy. I was able to out s stop to the crazy aggression.
I’ve come to thank the gods the my shiba doesn’t have an agression bone in his body towards me. He gets a little nippy when he’s overly excited or playful and that’s about it😅 though he does get a little agressive with big dogs
I have a shiba and he’s so aggressive towards other dogs. Would you know what to do for that ?
my shiba is like that too. If the shiba is meeting the other dog for the first time, it can be because it's scared or wants to protect you. My parents went with my shiba (without my permission) to visit my cousins who has a french bulldog and they told me she was being aggressive. It could've been that I wasn't there or because it was her 2nd time meeting the dog after MONTHS. Then I decided to meet my cousin's with the dog and it went smoothly. They just sniffed eachother and then we let them go off leash on the hill since I knew she was following the dog all the time and the dog was well trained. So my advice is try to meet the same dogs more often and closer. My shiba already made 2 friends.
but this is just from my personal experience. I am not a dog trainer so don't take this very seriously
i have the same issues with my shiba inu
Hi, I was wondering where you are based? I have a almost 6 month old shiba inu puppy who maybe dog aggressive
Perris, CA
@@heavensentk-9960 do you ever travel?
Where are you located?
Perris, CA
But i rather think he's a hair away from biting. That annoyed look when putting on a leash is still there
Dogs with behavior problems like this don’t get fixed in 2 weeks, it takes months and sometimes years. This is not results yet but rather progress.
The collar is very uncomfy and bad for dogs what you use they are mutch better what doesnt hurt the dogs. The Shiba was broken I have a shiba and i read mutch about this Rase. The shiba is unique and has a very special charakter like no other Dog. I dont know whats happend with this Shiba but he looks like a broken forced to humen will Shiba. thats sad.
whooping his ass a little to show who is boss, preventing the bitting toward humain hands, break the protection behavior towards object and a LOT OF POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT COULD also work :) LOL what do i know.,, i was bless with a gentle shiba inu.. good job :)
Thank you Marc. Thanks for being a responsible dog parent and training.
Shiba Inu's are like any other dog. If you socialize them as a puppy, they will be sweet and friendly and curious. Lazy A$$ owners get Shiba's and use the excuse "its just how the breed is" - Its not. That mentality is why there are aggressive and reactive Shiba's out there.
It would have more impressive if he wasn't on a leash, my Shiba can't be trusted without one. He would have eaten your cat. Sorry
It’s not that he is on the leash bcz I don’t trust him, he’s in early stages of training in this video and as any trainer understands, the leash is to be able to keep the animals accountable for their mistakes not to prevent them from making one. We take things step by step from a short leash to a long leash and eventually free of it but that cannot happen only in two weeks it will take months and sometimes a whole year to two years for behavior to be completely shaped.
@@heavensentk-9960 I understand.
@@heavensentk-9960 i wish you were closer and could help me with my boy
@@cudasnaps2154 we offer zoom calls too, they’re extremely effective and we have clients from all over the world. Give us a call to discuss more
That Shiba would have been seeing stars if it were my dog. That would be the day any dog of mine should snarl and show it’s teeth to me.
I don’t know what exactly you mean by saying that but hitting is not a way of training especially when an animal snarls due to anxiety such as this dog, adding more pressure or corrections can worsen the anxiety. Perhaps if you cry and I corrected you even harder it will only make you cry more or you might stop crying not because you feel better now but because you are more afraid of consequences. Most dogs growl or bite due to fear, very rarely true dominant dogs bite, it happens but not the same as fearful dogs. Biting and snarling can also been a conditioned response to a stimulus that has worked for the dog before, you can reverse the conditioning with relationship building and patience. Animals only show aggression as a way of resolving conflict, so familiarity blocks aggression. I hope this helps.
