Thank you that explained why my dog had her first "disagreement" with an old dog that she played before with no problem! It was when she was 9 month old!
Thank you for this video! My puppy turns one this weekend, and I saw this before I got her. So far everything is calm and happy, but I didn't know this before, and I have been trying to follow your advice. My old dog has just recently started giving my new one his "hard eye" but I'm always there to stop her from harassing him and him from bossing her because you warned me! Thanks again. (Right now they are both sleeping at opposite sides of my sofa with me in the middle, just the way we like it)
So helpful and timely as my pup will be 5 months old tomorrow. 2 questions...when outside playing and it looks as though everyone is enjoying the rough play...how do you know what is crossing the line and needs intervention? 2) Do you have a command for stopping indoor rough housing? Im currently trying to figure this one out. Thank you Larry. Love all your advice and videos!
from the video, it seems like those things are very subjective. It all comes down to what ure willing to tolerate and what YOU allow them to do. hope that helps!
Mine did it at 5 months, just this past Friday June 7, 2019. I made these mistakes and the fights started. 7 fights in the same day and my house is a complete mess. We are at a loss trying to fix two dogs behaviors and get them to come back together so they can get along. I wish I would have seen this video beforehand. Now, they are separated in the house and we are trying to slowly work and control both their focuses.
I’ve always corrected behaviors because I don’t want my older dog to get hurt on accident. I knew without a doubt my Rottweiler (m) would be larger than my old catahoula mix (f). He is 10 months now and twice her size, she is only 52lbs and he is going to get heavy. He is so gentle with her even when she starts the play. I just never wanted him to land on her wrong and hurt her because of his size. So I’ve always taught boundaries. I also don’t want him to hurt anybody on accident like kids or elderly. So he has to be calm with people.
So true, my mums Belgium shepherd was separated for years due to me sisters very old terrier not liking other dogs which led to a fight. Not until the last year of the shepherds life did they manage to get them to be in the house together. Massive regret.
VIDEO IDEAS. Large-small dog ownership is very popular. I have a 6 month old male Dalmatian-boxer mix and a 4 month old female Pomeranian. They love each other. Am I going to have that issue with a large and small dog? Would you do a video on what to do so aggressive behavior doesn’t start? Also, because she is small, they have to play in the house. I make them ‘lay and play’ but when he gets the zoomies all bets are off. He runs over her and I’m afraid she’ll get hurt. Yes, she thinks she’s boss and acts tough, but she’s 4 lbs and he’s 35. Would love your advice. Thanks Larry
I’d like to know too. A time out? Did he get removed from the kitchen for, say 20 min. Dogs don’t like to be isolated from their family. Did Larry give him a stern voice to get Bruno to get Bruno to look at Larry.? A jab? Or it was just a Look? I’m interested too. Thanks Larry
I needed to see this 5 yrs ago… I had these 2 puppies and they were bothering my old dog . They didn’t end up fighting him but fighting each other. I had to rehome both puppies. They went to good homes fast bc they were young and cute , specially the Pyrenees was a marshmallow.
I would love your advice on how to train an apartment dog using the free dog command. It seems I am needing three commands for three levels of freedom (?) I would like my dog to be able to stay at my side on a leash when walking (#1), I would like my dog to have "free dog" time off leash usually provided at a dog park (#2), but I also need an in between level of freedom when I walk my dog on a leash for the purpose of pottying the dog. I want him to have the freedom to smell trees, sniff around and have some time for doing his business. But in this time of "freedom" when he does not need to be at my side he still needs to be on a leash due to apartment regulation. Can I expect my dog to be on leash and sniffing around, but still not pulling me across the grass? How could I train this into my dog?
I have a 4 year old dachshund and a 17 week old German Shepherd. The Shepherd only wants to play with the dachshund and shows little interest in me. It is hard to get him to play with me at all or keep him focused on me. Any suggestions for getting him away from thinking my other dog is the best thing to thinking I’m the best thing?
I contacted you through the website for a board and train. Phone call and email without a return call. I’m kind of bummed that I didn’t get a return call. Other than that I love the videos and would have loved to work with you
My female German does like other dogs 🐕 not the ones in the home bit when I take her for walks she' gets crazy what can I do? Please just a small advice she's a beautiful family dog.
So should I not let the adult dog correct the puppy's behavior? I was told that I was supposed to let my other dog correct him when he did things he shouldn't around him but I correct Ozzy when he jumps in his face or barks in his face. I would love to see a video of how your puppy should and should not behave around the older dogs. I need help with that because I made the very mistake you speak of with my other dog and my older dog. I let him do what he wanted around my older dog and they fought constantly.
Great advice and video! How do you help teach them to be calm inside the house? I have two dogs and one is a puppy but the older one instigates play inside and I delegate them or put them in a down but they just go right back to each other. Any other tips? If I put them outside they play but not as much, I also don’t trust the puppy with freedom outside just yet. Thanks!
put the puppy on a leash. when one dog instigates play you correct it. until the dogs can remain calm all the time in the house on leash keep it on him. For a puppy they shouldnt have freedom in the house til at least a year old preferably 2 years. use a crate and a leash in the house. you have to advocate for the dogs. if not you too will be faced with this exact issue
So what EXACTLY do I do then? ...When I open the gate to let my puppy (9 months) back in the house, my roommates dog will bark at him and pull on his face. At first I just yelled at the dog but recently I started standing over him and saying NO until he backs away.
So....if you didn't punish / correct Bear, what did you do? WHat did you do to get him to reduce his reaction with the other dogs? That's what I couldn't either hear or missed.... TIA.
I have a 4 month old female pup German Shepard right now. I’m looking to get another German Shepard male pup. They would be 4 month age difference. Do you think it would be better to have a male and female than two female pups? I was told a male a female would get along better. I’m not looking to breed but I would like to have 2 dogs so they could play together. Or do you think it would be too early to bring another puppy in?
Why do you want them to play together? You want to be the center of EVERYTHING good in your dogs life. When your dog knows that everything good in his life comes from you, you set the dog up to be very manageable/successful. Which is what most people want out of their dog. Unless you have a lot of experience/patience/time, You bringing in another puppy right now will cause you nothing but MISERY. Please don't do it.
@@spacecoastdogtrainer3778 Agree 100%. I believe this is a common and unfortunate idea that the dog needs a buddy dog to keep it company. Instead, dedicate your time to being with the dog yourself.
you bringing in another dog to play with tells me you shouldn't have a dog in the first place. if you dont have the time and attention to give your dog that you feel like you need something else to play with it youve already messed up. not trying to be rude just very forward. evaluate why you are getting another dog. like Space Coast says you need to be the center of everything to that dog.
This video would have been so much more useful if you had given examples of unacceptable puppy behavior, what you did to correct or stop the behavior, and how you corrected Bruno when he showed aggression
Can someone please point me to one of his videos about what to do if we already made this mistake. I let the puppy(a Tibetan Masiff)rough house with my Bully. One day it happened and I am not sure how to get them back together. Neither really wants to back down and I have to keep them apart unless I am right there. It makes life miserable.
the more i listen to this the more i realise this is the best shit ever... i have an uncle that has an older rottie, i think he's 5, 6 years old i don t even know, and he got a BELGIAN MALINOIS, for fucks sake, like 2 years ago, and i was visiting my uncle last year and both dogs live together in a dog pen and the Mal is just insane, out of his mind jumping barking, the Rottie is a lot more low key and my uncle tells me that they fight aggresively and i could just see it when i got closer to the pen the mal would just kill me if it could, it s so sad to see that dog waste away and now with this video everyyhing you re explaining just puts things so much more into perspective jesus christ i just wanna fly back to my home country and take that . mal and teach him stuff :)))... it's so sad the dog doesn t get training and his big as a bull, and muscular and beautiful but totally crazy... i feel so bad for the dog...
You shouldn’t concentrate on stopping a dog barking, you may contain it in a sense. It’s natural instinct, they are animals after all. Listen to no bad dog podcast about “fighting a dogs natural instinct”
If only all people would listen to you, Larry. But not all people are capable to be really in charge of their dogs. I think it is not something that people can 'learn', they have it in them or they don't have it. I'm a 74 yr old woman and had abt 20 dogs in my life (this account belongs to my son) and none of them have ever been fighting other dogs in or outside my home. Because they know they don't have to because I AM in charge, they can count on me. And I have had really big, strong dogs like 2 Dobermans, Dutch and German shepherd, Barzoi, (to name some). Calm but firm approach, limitations, boundaries, love and play. If people only would use their BRAIN!: if you don't want a 40 kg dog in your bed, don't tolerate an 8 weeks old pup in your bed. Be consequent: if something is forbidden it must ALWAYS be forbidden, not 1 time yes and another time no. Dogs don't understand that.
Our 4.5 month old GSD is a total pain in the @$$. Don't get me wrong she's brilliant and so smart she's learned just about every trick in the book. But without food or if she is distracted, there is no talking to her or getting her to listen. She jumps all over anyone who comes in the house as a guest. My wife sits on the couch and she jumps all over her and never stops nipping and biting. I correct I put her on time outs in her kennel. I tell her no and stay down nothing works. We are having company over for the first time this Friday and I am embarrassed and scared of the results. At 46lbs of jumping puppy muscle biting and nipping at everything in sight she might just have to stay kenneled up. But as you said in this video. I don't want to start down that path with her. I want her to feel like a part of the family and learn and understand how to be part of the family. She LOVES kids, but if she sees a 2-4yo child she immediately goes from level 1-10 instantly wanting to jump all over them and bite their hands face etc. She's becoming a liability. Will age change the behavior? Possibly, but what if it doesn't? I'm debating introducing an E-Collar but don't want to do it the wrong way. I'm going to be going over your E-Collar training videos and deciding. But at this point, the gloves are off so to speak. I'm done with Mr Nice guy. This little girl needs to understand and understand now jumping up and biting people is not going to be tolerated.
your dog needs to be on a leash or in the crate at all times in the house. then theres no way they can jump on people. you have to show your dog what calm is and what you want. Im not sure what you plan on doing with the ecollar but nothing should be taught with it. the ecollar is a way to reinforce what the dog already knows. I would start with a leash and kennel 100% of the time while in the house. remember, just becasue you say "no" or you are giving what seems like good corrections doesnt mean that that is the case. the correction has to be meaningful to the dog. just because you think it should be meaningful doesnt mean it is. your dog will let you know what is meaningful.
Mike O'Connell 4 1/2 month old puppies are still very mouthy. I looked like a heroin addict when my GSD was that age, and boy, are their teeth sharp. Do not allow him to jump on anyone coming in by putting a leash on, putting him in a down and stepping on leash, then lots of treats and praise. Also, if you haven’t done do already, put on a sprenger prong collar. Teach place command, with leash on, teach kennel command, with leash on. Don’t bother with the word NO, it doesn’t mean anything anyway. Don’t yell, stay calm and quiet. The fewer words the better. Also, when he does get your hands, arms, ankles in his mouth, Yelp like an injured puppy, he’ll understand that. Then bait and switch with a bully stick to chew on. Good luck
What do you do when you correct the puppy? Kennel them, keep them on a leash? You say that you don’t allow rough housing or playfighting in the house- does that mean you allow it outside? Wouldn’t the dogs just want to fight immediately,he after going outside?
Puppies need to grow up in a pack to learn what is and what is not appropriate, including when they should and should not use their teeth. Dogs from breeders are often separated from their parents or even other dogs early on. They have never learned any rules. The best dogs to be adopted is a mix, not a pure breed, cause most pure breed dogs are from breeders.
I have 4 American Staffs, mom, dad and 2 of their male offsprings. A few months back dad turned on his sons. For the time being I keep the parents away from the puppies. The puppies are 10 months old now. Behind crates they still posturing to fight, check them right away. You have to be aware of there body language. Eventually I want them back together as a family. It's going to take some work but I'm in for the long haul.
Roslyn Jones I wish you luck. Read my comment above yours. I had Danes. I was in it for the long haul too. We too the dogs to extra training. Confidence training, you name it. I couldn’t get it back. I loved my girls to the end. I couldn’t give not one up. But I never want to live like that again.
@@tracyblack1509 thank you. I'm the only one taking care of them. Before the dad attacked the puppies, the puppies on occasion would fight. Now they get alo g great.
I'm glad to say, I did the right thing with my dogs out of pure common sense. I'm a woman. One thing I never understand is that high squeaky voice you hear in American dog videos all the time. Drives me up the wall. When the dogs go wild in the house, they call it personality. BS.
Now I am frightened to get a puppy. I have had German shepherds and Dobermans (both show and working) and a GSP all happily living together. I have broken up dog fights and made everyone be friends again. But I currently have a springer who is very shy (we adopted her at one years old, I believe she was over trained and lost her sprit. She came to me very broken emotionally. She still will not touch toys at all.) We had her with a male cocker who was madly in love with her, who helped her to be out going, but he passed away. So... I am on a waiting list for Doberman puppy, I'm not sure how they will go, being that she shy. I'm wondering now if I should get another gun dog instead of a Doberman (the dobe will be from show lines not working.) If my springer was get into a fight I feel she would just take it, it is just worrying me a little. Any advice would be appreciated.
just think about anything a puppy does that you wouldnt want a full grown dog to do. do you want a 100 lb dog jumping on people? biting or nipping? screaming through the house at 100mph? jumping on counters? you have to show your dog what you want first.be fair to him/her and set them up for success. When they have a good idea of what you want and they behave otherwise correct it.
My Male dog is extremely jealous of my female puppy I'm having a hard time controlling both of them but this video has help a lot they are both labs but my Male is not fix he's crazy
Wish I watched this before my male german shepherd attacked the 7 month old...who at that point was bigger than the adult. The puppy laid on his back cried and pissed himself. I had to pull the adult off him by the tail. It happened 3 times even though I was doing the shuffle of crates outside. The second time it happened I slipped in the piss? My leg got right in the middle of the dogs and my calf got bit. My older dog realized it was me and didn't fully bite me no broken skin but pain. The last time I was letting two in and the puppy and lab out. I had control of puppy but not older dog. He got around me So fast and the puppy again on his back pissed himself crying...a took a chair like a lion tamer and separated. As I bring adult to a different room the female German attacked him. I just grabbed her by her neck and she stopped. They are fine for my husband but when off the leash they do not listen to me. I'm still working hard though. My poor puppy😞

Thank you, now if dog lovers would listen.
Just because you love dogs, doesn't mean you're good for them.
Agree with you 100%, good advise for all multiple dog owners!
Amen brother, you nailed it on the head. I hear this ALL THE TIME!!
Thank you for the great advice!
I always learn from your videos. Thank you.
Thank you. Your videos are very helpful in many ways. I’ll keep learning 👍

10:49 "Hit her with his purse." LOL!!!!
When you say you had to intervene with Bruno, when he gave the “look” ,what specifically did you do to let him know that behavior won’t be tolerated?
I’d like to know too. A time out? Did he get removed from the kitchen for, say 20 min. Dogs don’t like to be isolated from their family. Did Larry give him a stern voice to get Bruno to get Bruno to look at Larry.? A jab? Or it was just a Look? I’m interested too. Thanks Larry
@@tracyblack1509 Time out makes no sense at all.
I'd like to know as well? What is involved in "I had to blow up on Bruno."?
I wish you would go into greater detail on how to correct the younger puppy, what is acceptable and what is not.

1. Heel command
2. Free command (where they are free to be themselves)

Please make a vid about anti barking collar
You should stop your dog from barking WITHOUT an anti barking collar. Only lazy people who refuse to work with their dog, use those collars.
You shouldn’t concentrate on stopping a dog barking, you may contain it in a sense. It’s natural instinct, they are animals after all. Listen to no bad dog podcast about “fighting a dogs natural instinct”
Larry, what exactly type of things are you talking about that you shouldn't allow puppys to do?

My wife sits on the couch and she jumps all over her and never stops nipping and biting. I correct I put her on time outs in her kennel. I tell her no and stay down nothing works. We are having company over for the first time this Friday and I am embarrassed and scared of the results. At 46lbs of jumping puppy muscle biting and nipping at everything in sight she might just have to stay kenneled up. But as you said in this video. I don't want to start down that path with her. I want her to feel like a part of the family and learn and understand how to be part of the family. She LOVES kids, but if she sees a 2-4yo child she immediately goes from level 1-10 instantly wanting to jump all over them and bite their hands face etc. She's becoming a liability. Will age change the behavior? Possibly, but what if it doesn't? I'm debating introducing an E-Collar but don't want to do it the wrong way. I'm going to be going over your E-Collar training videos and deciding. But at this point, the gloves are off so to speak. I'm done with Mr Nice guy. This little girl needs to understand and understand now jumping up and biting people is not going to be tolerated.
your dog needs to be on a leash or in the crate at all times in the house. then theres no way they can jump on people. you have to show your dog what calm is and what you want. Im not sure what you plan on doing with the ecollar but nothing should be taught with it. the ecollar is a way to reinforce what the dog already knows. I would start with a leash and kennel 100% of the time while in the house. remember, just becasue you say "no" or you are giving what seems like good corrections doesnt mean that that is the case. the correction has to be meaningful to the dog. just because you think it should be meaningful doesnt mean it is. your dog will let you know what is meaningful.
Mike O'Connell 4 1/2 month old puppies are still very mouthy. I looked like a heroin addict when my GSD was that age, and boy, are their teeth sharp. Do not allow him to jump on anyone coming in by putting a leash on, putting him in a down and stepping on leash, then lots of treats and praise. Also, if you haven’t done do already, put on a sprenger prong collar. Teach place command, with leash on, teach kennel command, with leash on. Don’t bother with the word NO, it doesn’t mean anything anyway. Don’t yell, stay calm and quiet. The fewer words the better. Also, when he does get your hands, arms, ankles in his mouth, Yelp like an injured puppy, he’ll understand that. Then bait and switch with a bully stick to chew on. Good luck
@@Orangedrink10 A dog in a crate learns NOTHING. Crates should be banned.
What do you do when you correct the puppy? Kennel them, keep them on a leash? You say that you don’t allow rough housing or playfighting in the house- does that mean you allow it outside? Wouldn’t the dogs just want to fight immediately,he after going outside?
OMG, he is so talking about me!!
Puppies need to grow up in a pack to learn what is and what is not appropriate, including when they should and should not use their teeth. Dogs from breeders are often separated from their parents or even other dogs early on. They have never learned any rules. The best dogs to be adopted is a mix, not a pure breed, cause most pure breed dogs are from breeders.
I wish I could send my dog to you for a month 😭
I have 4 American Staffs, mom, dad and 2 of their male offsprings. A few months back dad turned on his sons. For the time being I keep the parents away from the puppies. The puppies are 10 months old now. Behind crates they still posturing to fight, check them right away. You have to be aware of there body language. Eventually I want them back together as a family. It's going to take some work but I'm in for the long haul.
Roslyn Jones I wish you luck. Read my comment above yours. I had Danes. I was in it for the long haul too. We too the dogs to extra training. Confidence training, you name it. I couldn’t get it back. I loved my girls to the end. I couldn’t give not one up. But I never want to live like that again.
@@tracyblack1509 thank you. I'm the only one taking care of them. Before the dad attacked the puppies, the puppies on occasion would fight. Now they get alo g great.
I'm glad to say, I did the right thing with my dogs out of pure common sense. I'm a woman. One thing I never understand is that high squeaky voice you hear in American dog videos all the time. Drives me up the wall. When the dogs go wild in the house, they call it personality. BS.
Now I am frightened to get a puppy. I have had German shepherds and Dobermans (both show and working) and a GSP all happily living together. I have broken up dog fights and made everyone be friends again. But I currently have a springer who is very shy (we adopted her at one years old, I believe she was over trained and lost her sprit. She came to me very broken emotionally. She still will not touch toys at all.) We had her with a male cocker who was madly in love with her, who helped her to be out going, but he passed away. So... I am on a waiting list for Doberman puppy, I'm not sure how they will go, being that she shy. I'm wondering now if I should get another gun dog instead of a Doberman (the dobe will be from show lines not working.) If my springer was get into a fight I feel she would just take it, it is just worrying me a little. Any advice would be appreciated.
Can you please provide examples of some of the things people let their puppies get away with that they should be correcting right away.
just think about anything a puppy does that you wouldnt want a full grown dog to do. do you want a 100 lb dog jumping on people? biting or nipping? screaming through the house at 100mph? jumping on counters? you have to show your dog what you want first.be fair to him/her and set them up for success. When they have a good idea of what you want and they behave otherwise correct it.
My Male dog is extremely jealous of my female puppy I'm having a hard time controlling both of them but this video has help a lot they are both labs but my Male is not fix he's crazy
Fred Herrera - he isn’t crazy. He was a puppy and you didn’t know how to handle him.
Wish I watched this before my male german shepherd attacked the 7 month old...who at that point was bigger than the adult. The puppy laid on his back cried and pissed himself. I had to pull the adult off him by the tail. It happened 3 times even though I was doing the shuffle of crates outside. The second time it happened I slipped in the piss? My leg got right in the middle of the dogs and my calf got bit. My older dog realized it was me and didn't fully bite me no broken skin but pain. The last time I was letting two in and the puppy and lab out. I had control of puppy but not older dog. He got around me So fast and the puppy again on his back pissed himself crying...a took a chair like a lion tamer and separated. As I bring adult to a different room the female German attacked him. I just grabbed her by her neck and she stopped. They are fine for my husband but when off the leash they do not listen to me. I'm still working hard though. My poor puppy😞
