Spot on. Only thing I would have added is that experience is not a substitute for education. You can do something for 30 years and still know nothing about the science behind what you're doing. One could cook drugs in their basement for 30 years, for example, but does that make them a qualified pharmacist? Would you trust that person with your health just because they have "experience?"
So many trainers tout their experience as qualification, but they SUCK because they rely on outdated, disproven, and even outright harmful methods. Yet they have millions of subscribers because the general dog-owning public has no idea. They often can "get results," but never show you the problems and unintended consequences that tend to arise as a result of their methods, which can be much harder, if not impossible to fix.
Kudos to you for bringing this subject to light. I think it's one of your most important videos yet.

Really great information
Do you do dog training videos, or just critique other trainers?

My male husky 11 month old started being aggresive out of nowhere for no reason since 2 weeks now and its getting worse and worse. He jumps, growls and bites and tries his best to bite hands and necks and barks if you look at him and then immediately goes growling to bite your neck or hand. He knows his place, we have cleared dominance so yeah. It happens in random moments, especially when we stop playing but today it happened for the 3rd time outside. He was AMAZING, calm and cooperative going to and back from the local park, our daily walk, and he was omay with going back home but when we started jogging to cross the road he started looking at my eyes and trying to stop me to bite me and then he non stop went full aggressive and started biting and growling, not knowing how tk calm him down after trying for weeks to verbally calm him down, i physically lut him on the floor and made him unablw to move while he was biting and after 10 second he calmed down. I calmly let off and as soon as i started wlaking he went crazy again. It happened again for many times and i tied his neck with the leash, not collar to kinda choke him cuz i didn't know hoe to stop him from jumping on me and biting me and preventing him from accidentally going on the road (because we were on the sidewalk) and he continued going crazy. Please help, i love him and he is extremely gentle and sweet but he has started doing this nonsense and it destroys me psychologically. I don't have the money to go ta a trainer, nor there is one known to be good generally, nor at a specific niche.
Please please please help

You need a behavior modification. Unless you can put money away to get a virtual assessment from a trainer you're gonna have to do a lot of your own research. Look up dog body language infographs on google. Lilli chin makes great little infographs on this. The dominance theory has been debunked years ago. That right there and how you have "put him in his place" could contribute to his behavior issues. There could be other things triggering him. Behavior modification takes time. But learning dog body language is something that can help out alot so that you can understand how your dog is trying to speak to you. These bites etc might not actually be out of the blue. He could be giving you warning signs that he's stressed, anxious, etc due to you, the environment, other dogs, people, etc. There's subtle things to look for like yawning, panting, lip licking, puffed lips, whale eyes, rigid stance, and much more. You could be walking and think it's out of the blue while your dog could be seeing something like another dog or person or car and be giving signals that it's stressed and if you're not paying attention it could send the dog into a frenzy. Are you walking it on any choke or prong collars? If so that could contribute to this as well. I'd advise to look up lilli chin dog body language info graphs, and save some sort of money for a trainer who can look at the situation your handling. Go with someone who is based off of science and not dominance theory with aversives. You might think that stuff is working when the dog all of a sudden seems to be calmer. Majority of the time the dog isnt calmer. It's stressed. It's emotions are suppressed. And leads to a lot of dogs getting worse down the line. Most aggression cases are out of anxiety and fear. Not out of the idea to dominate you. But you defiantly need a trained professional to look at your situation with videos to see how you interact with the dog, what your schedule is like, and how your dog reacts around you. Best of luck

Remember that behavior modification takes time. This wont be fixed in a week or month. It takes commitment, scheduling, patience, and persistence

@@BeastWrobel i just got him a choke collar yesterday and it calmed him down, he wears a harness a normal collar and a choker and i use each one depending on how cooperative and calm he is
Thanks for your help btw

On your video about shots I sent you a comment asking if you could send me where you got your information from because I was very interested in learning about it and reading about it and you didn’t get back to me but I’m thinking that it might’ve gotten lost in the shuffle is there anyway that you can tell me where you got your information about when it is appropriate to give shots.
