A training session with Gage

[@rdwilander]

Dogs that are "beaten" to comply never show that level of excited , controlled engagement. Gage: "Whats next boss?"

[@conormcquail3504]

Very nice and sharp… a dog that would be abused wouldn’t have that engagement to the handler… you do an amazing job with your dogs. Thank you for the great videos

[@shieldk9]

People dont understand the difference between corrections and abuse.

Beat your dogs? I don’t think so. Sounds like jealousy to me. I ❤ watching Gage play. I’m smiling the whole time. ❤ Gage SOOOOOO much.

[@shieldk9]

There is a time to be hard and a time to be fun. The dogs seem to like it.

[@reneehouser2925]

No sane human would see your work, your passion and commitment as anything but love and temperance. Lucky dogs! Beautiful interactions! Bless your entire family🙏

Gage, I’ve missed you. ❤

[@nancywhitten2585]

What a sweet boy and so lucky to have a “job”/purpose. I love animals-one of the many gifts to us from Heavenly Father.

[@keithcrackett1992]

Nothing but hard work gets results like that. These aren’t cockerpoos that we are dealing with. That type of dog is far, far more than 90% of people could handle

[@patc5577]

That’s the truth!!!!

[@MonkeCmonkeDo-Scheetz]

I have followed Gage's progress and have to say for a GSD he has extreme drives. I remember when I first saw him how intense he was to the point of being scared for you of him. I have had 8 GSD's. My last was working Czech with good all around drives. Gage reminds me of my current dog a Dutch Shepherd. So intense. I have enhanced his drives but now working with a trainer to try and control them. When my dog ramps up like Gage he becomes difficult to control with some barrier frustration even can become handler aggressive. I had him evaluated with my NJ. state's K9 police academy and was told he passed all their tests. They said one of the best Dutchies he has seen. You have done a superb job with him. I kind of wish you were closer. I would definitely visit you if I had the ability too. Thanks for the videos.

I’ve watched this video multiple times and here I am watching it again. I’m crazy for Gage. Sorry, just can’t help myself. The “rotate” command….loved it!

[@Beowulf975]

You are a truly world.class trainer , you have true insight into the k9 mind and all their neurosis..

[@marypalmer2088]

I watch in such amazement, you are a wonderful trainer. All negative comments are always due to people being jealous and mean. I love the way you address their ignorance! Thank you for sharing your wonderful training skills and these fabulous pups!

[@dino7dino]

Awesome.

[@elishajlogan]

🙄 beat dogs are full of fear, they cower and become fearful with no courage. Kind of the opposite of what your goals are with your dogs. You obviously love your dogs. There is a difference between hard correction and beatings. Love what you do Haz thanks for the education you share I have learned so much from you.

[@offkeywolf4749]

that dog is addicted to you and it's bloody awesome

[@ericaknesek3266]

Great content

[@muchadoaboutkovu]

I have not gotten any hint of feeling like you beat your dogs. No way. I’ve seen dogs who needed healing from abuse and they never behave the way your dogs do. Your videos are awesome and I will be referring to them when we get our German shepherds.

[@harrymolloy823]

still don’t understand how people think you can beat a dog into having confident grips and high prey drive

[@stephenblum1078]

Gage looks like and acts like my 5 yr old girl except my girl was not properly trained in impulse control. In spite of 3 previous GSDs none were high end working dogs. I did not fully understand the qualities of big bite and high prey drive in working dogs. Watching Gage shows the possibilities with such select dogs.

[@jaybirddogtraining]

Dude. That is some cool shit. I might be converting from gun dogs to these dogs

[@ChrisBanke]

Great work! I can’t use a magnet bal it turns my collar off… have you ever had this issue?

[@vikki4335]

Awesome

[@canascrews]

I must admit that sometimes you do seem that you may be a bit rough with the dogs . But then again I do realize that I would have no idea how to deal with most of these high drive dogs. That is why I watch your channel. There is much to learn in this life. I definitely can appreciate your understanding of how a dog thinks.

[@kipikasafrenchie1468]

If you think you can do a better job then feel free to try!

[@canascrews]

@@kipikasafrenchie1468 I thought I clearly said that I would have no idea how to. Is it your reading skills giving you trouble ? Feel free to think before you type 😁

[@JohnGrit]

WOW so amazing. great training. Is he just trying to hug you??

[@joyfulk9services]

Love love love. Could watch you guys all day. Question, maybe two... Does he have a sign that he needs a break or runs out of steam? Physical r mental signs he needs to take a breather or gets tired? Or do you have to be the one to "call it" so-to-speak? Also, I know you won't get in deep to this but just curious when you need to use the ecollar pressure most with Gage, of course maybe the "creeping" you said you missed. But just curious as he is pretty on par with most, and you tune up the faster "out" by lots of reps, minimal corrections (which is awesome). So I am just genuinely curious when or what you prwp for when needing to have that ecollar pressure ready! Great job. I love listening and watching you. I've told MiracleK9 to invite you to their podcast. I hope they reach out!

[@shieldk9]

I make active corrections and adjustments to him constantly with the electric. It keeps everything tight and channeled properly.

[@tterexx426]

No one's gotta tell me GSDs have less drive than Malinois. But I think you covered that topic in another video really well! I wanna get my first GSD in about a year when my current hunting dog is fully trained. But I couldn't handle one like yours, though I would love to. Gotta go with something that is a bit "less" to start.

[@ThuAnh-jo9fp]

He's a so great dog. How do you training to out with him?

[@antainhuntingkennelsirelan8546]

How you got the wicked fast Platz without overshadowing. I think that's one of the hardest things for a dog to do consistently. When we try to bring the collar into the equation to reinforce the down they sometimes wait for the stim on the creep.

[@michellegordon4211]

Is there a bark collar you recommend?

[@thejindoman7471]

Swag ✅️ Moxie ✅️ Power ✅️ ✅️ Tons of fun ✅️ ✅️ ✅️ Gage is a real B A D @ $ $!!

[@brianw.520]

I imagine a dog that was beaten would be extremely fearful and shy towards a handler and perhaps display fear aggression.

[@ajscales313]

I designed the relationship with my guy after Haz and Gage! My guy is high drive and intense but the stability in his breeding has blown me away.

[@hughzazzara6849]

You’re amazing with the intense training..and these dogs are so awesome..Bro, excellent 👊👍🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@Githinji_the1]

You forgot to beat it today. Lol. People be crazy out here.

[@anthonybernstein1626]

That sit at 4:16!

[@stannicholson9622]

I think I would like to see you letting the dog run for 30 minutes to get some of that built-up energy out of him and then start your training session that’s the way I do it seem to look better feels better for the dog

Exactly--it is hard to not feel touched by haters because he has so much passion & love for his dogs. That means he has a big heart!!

[@fdg1df2gd31]

he has a great obedience but idk why you have to use an ecollar for those simple things

[@mattd3047]

If you have to wonder why…. you clearly don’t understand how dog’s work or operate … simple things hey? Which have taken countless hours and many months … saying great obedience… is understatement. Feel free to send him a video if you think you can achieve these “simple things” without an e collar guarantee you will have alot of puncher holes with this extreme and intense drive.

[@andrealemburg8545]

Hiya, I only recently came across you and your dogs. Yes your dogs really look like they are beaten to an Ince of their life's 😂😂😂 Joke aside, I like to see the moaners try and handle your types/ calibre of dogs. Sometimes you got fight fire with fire. Not sure if you aware of what's going on in the UK with the xl bully's attacking and killing people? Well I rather you keep the dogs under control even if I mean they get punished as oppose them getting randomly shot by the police in full public view. It comes across loud and clear that you love your dogs and my judgement from what I have seen so far, you would never unnecessary punishment them for no good reason. I would love to see some of them keyboard warriors come to your facility and handle the dogs. My thing is gun dogs or bird dogs and currently I have a 7 month puppy who is in foundation gun training.

[@asakyuu]

there seems to be a movement now that a few trainers that handle their dog in a different way i guess in a rough manner is called abusive and traumatic 🤷‍♂️ different dogs needs different way of handling 😑

[@gregorysilas6329]

Sport dog training with this type of dog is different. The pressure at this stage of training isn’t usually over the top. It’s dogs that are being prepped for high level competitions that get put under a lot of pressure. There’s also some e collar heavy trainers in general. As for your training, I think a place where you see that criticism is the off leash husky video.

[@stevecanine]

Where you see the criticism is from the ignoramuses over at GS forum. That biased moderator speaks nothing but dogma. I checked out the main criticizer's video of their own dog and it doesn't even come when called lol. You can't make that stuff up. Too funny. There was even a video on the same thread explaining body language and they didn't even watch it. Because if they did, they would understand how dumb they are :)

[@k.c.williams3385]

Some people are real idiots. I've heard 👂 the same thing by unknowing women as a youth that you must be beating the dog to make it mean.

[@glk9services716]

If you could create hard dogs by just beating them,no one would breed anymore...all would go find the nearest stray puppy and beat it repeatedly to become stronger😂😂😂😂
