Aggressive & Dominant GSD Attacks Trainer AND FINALLY MEETS HIS MATCH!

Precisely, John. People are quick to feel sorry for the dog when the dog receives corrections, but if those corrections are not given, dogs like this get put down. THAT is something to feel sorry for.

[@dickbrugh5562]

I have a black GSD and we took him to training, got him at 18 mo. He put his mouth on my bro in laws arm from getting his collar grabbed. 1st training session we had an accident. He did well the whole session, but a correction mistake that was my fault put my hand near his mouth while while tension was high. The trainer said stop and I made the mistake of trying one more correction. I got bit pretty good in my hand and arm. We spoke with the trainer and he said give him 2 more sessions and he will tell me if the dog is safe. The next session the dog got this treatment. Chained to a wall with his choke chain on a leash. The trainer put him through some shit. I made a statement that it was difficult to watch. Trainer said “it’s this or be put down.” We just finished our 4th session last night, 4 more to go, and Dax is doing great. Trainer said he was mentally screwed up from a previous owner. Dog training like this is more trading me than my dog. Update: We had to take a break for a few weeks to get Dax neutered. About 10 days in my wife was talking the dogs outside and Dax got excited and jumped up on my wife. He got his paw stuck in her coat pocket and he began yelping. As soon as she started to help him he got free and then attacked my wife. Tore her forearm open pretty damn good. She needed lots of stitches. Dax got put down that day. We contacted the trainer and he said it was an unprovoked attack unlike training and he needed to be put down. This was a very experienced trainer who has worked with Shepards for decades. We trust his judgement. He said Dax had something happen to him prior to us having him. Dax had an issue where if he thought you were hurting him, we never did, he would growl intensely or in my wife’s case, attack her. It was weird because he loved my wife and never showed anything towards her. Trainer said it could be my 4 yr old next because we never knew what might set him off. Daughter was coming home the next day and Dax had to go to doggy heaven before she came home. Don’t wish that on anyone. My wife and I were beyond pissed on whoever screwed Dax up prior to us getting him. Could have been my coworker whom I got him from, but who knows. Dax was a badass dog in every other way and listened well, but had this quirk that ended his life.

Anyone concerned about the blurry part of the video please read the description for more detail or click below for the uncensored version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn2lcp1riatjhqM&ab_channel=AmericanStandardDogTraining But, in short, to illustrate what you don't see is simply this: The dog received multiple strong leash pop corrections. That's it. You can hear each one of them. We don't show it because #1) We don't want anyone attempting to try any training techniques that could quickly result in a dog like this firing back and biting the owner/handler. What worked for this dog might work for other dogs but could also very likely make other dogs worse or might not be needed at all or many other undesirable outcomes that could get someone hurt #2) Simply put - many of you are too soft to handle a simple leash pop correction let alone several of them in a row and think that somehow we're going to solve this dog's serious dominance aggression problem (with a bite history on his own loving owner) with a treat and a hug when he's actively trying to bite me and others #3) We didn't want KZbin to censor the whole video so we censored this small portion ourselves to save the whole video The entire correction took approximately 2-3 seconds and has completely transformed the dog for life. I spoke to the owner today (08-01-23) and am very happy to report the owner advised that since our one training session nearly 2 years ago, Ace has been on his best behavior and has had zero incidents of aggression towards him or any other human. He's been able to take him to the vet without a muzzle and introduce him to friends and family like a normal dog. It took 3 seconds of a firm correction to save this dog's life. If you can't support that and think this is animal abuse understand this dog would have been put down without this training. And, no, this dog didn't need 3 months of me "getting to know him" and me earning HIS respect to get this horrible behavior fixed. The proof is in the pudding. Anyone that has anything negative to say about it is either blind, naive or has an agenda. To be clear, I am NOT apologizing for my training techniques. On the contrary I am doubling down. This video is around 2 years old at this point. I could take the video down if I had something to hide. I don't. Therefore, I keep it up and stand by it. If you don't like that then I'm not the trainer for you. Unfortunately, we live in a day and age where people think it's right to edit multiple 20+ minute videos down to 5 second clips to try and prove I'm an abusive dog trainer and use it to try to create a false narrative to tear me down and ultimately lie and deceive people for internet clout or whatever they're after. It's sad and embarrassing for them and anyone foolish enough to take and swallow the bait.

I got a dog when I was 16. He was half black lab, half American Staffordshire terrier. When he was about a year old he was already over 100 pounds and very hyper. He would jump up on everybody. He was never actually aggressive, he was just hyper and played rough. He wouldn't bite people, but he would grab their arm with his mouth, which understandably freaked them out. Then one day he jumped up on my grandmother and knocked her down. Then he grabbed her arm and even though he didn't actually bite her, his teeth tore her skin and she started bleeding. And no matter how often I told him "No" before, he never really listened unless he was calm. But when he knocked over my grandmother (right or wrong, this is what I did) I immediately grabbed him, swept him off his feet, laid on top of him and held his mouth shut with my hands. Even though he was a big dog, I was bigger. I was 250 pounds so he couldn't get out from under me. I held him as still as I could and didn't stop until he gave up struggling and just looked at me. From that day on he never jumped on anybody ever again. He also listened to me much more often, whether he was calm or excited. And I was eventually able to get him to stop grabbing people with his mouth.

It wasn't until my wife did the same that he stopped nipping at her hands and thinking of her as a playmate lower in the hierarchy. I think people can overdo it, but simply forcing the dog down until submission has worked for me and I'll continue doing it.

This comment is so true. My boy is newer to me. He's a Black Mouth Cur. They're well known for being protective farm, hunting, and family dogs. When I brought Arlo home, he had reactivity to people and social situations. He has snapped at a handful of people, bit myself and my brother his first night home. He gave my brother and I corrections of "back off. I don't know you like that." I'm fine if he gives me a correction if I deserve it but not an all out bite. He'll take food from select strangers. He's far more fond of women and kids which is normal for BMCs. I don't let him near most men given his temperament toward them and as a prime example, just yesterday while doing some socializing at Lowes, a lady asked to pet, I denied the pet but handed three treats for him. The first two are tossers for positive association to learn that not all people are bad. The third is, if I deem it appropriate and if Arlo is comfortable enough, a hand fed treat. He took all three, closed his mouth, his tail stopped wagging and he damn near grabbed her hand. I saw his behavior as if it were in slow motion and delivered three very quick pops on his collar coupled with a "with me." He barked a couple times as he backed into a heel. I just learned something from this video and that would be "dogs don't bite with an open mouth." That made me realize I had been missing a key point in his behavior that will forever change how I watch him.

I used to volunteer at a dog shelter and what people don't understand is that an untrained dog is one of the biggest reasons why they end up in cages or put down. I've seen well loved animals end up locked up for over a year after biting someone and ultimately these dogs end up losing their sanity and then put down. They can't be given back to the owners or adopted out. When a dog is lockdd up over litigation over a bite, shelter staff isn't allowed to take the dog out of the kennel or even touch them. This is a worse fate than giving your dog serious training and severe corrections for dangerous behavior. Dogs are our companions, but they ARE NOT PEOPLE! Their language is not always what makes sense for us humans. And absolutely, an armed society is a polite society! Great content, you just gained a subscriber!

​@willyjgonzalez6560 It is a more of a primal instinct for men not so much women. Men understand what it means to dominate someone or something. Dogs you must dominate when they young they must feel that you are alpha. The bigger they get the more dangerous it is to dominate the dog. For big dogs it must be done while they are adolescents or close to being one so they are still more manageable. My mother's freind had a german shepard that was not dominated and it had to be dominated the old school way. Which means wrestle the dog to it's side and pin it to the ground they will learn that you can hurt them more than they can hurt you. I am a big guy so I could get away with it on a 100 pound German shepard because I out weighed it by 130 pounds. However this dog in this video is to dangerous to do that because it is to big and to old so it will fight harder. In the dog world learning who is stronger is dominance. If the dog thinks it is stronger it thinks it is higher up on the hierarchy than what it really is. The owner is alpha the dog is beta it must learn that early on.

Red flags for youtube comments "I am not a professional but I will list criteria for discarding someone's opinon like I am a professional". Terms like "being a dick" aren;t really anthromorphising. The trainer here knows the dog is a dog not a human. He;'s saying the dog is being a dick by the standards he expects a dog to maintain, not that the dog is forgetting to say "please and thank you" like a human being adick. If you can't say the "dog is being a dick" then what language can you use? Essentially you're saying that if you use adjectives that is applied to human behvaiour you can't use it for animal behaviour, whicj essentially means there are no adjectives you to use for animal behaviour. "undesired behaviour" or "desired behavuour" - well they can be applied to humans too. "good" or "bad" they are used in relation to humans and on top of that they are absolute lanugae in a relative world, so what adjective can you use to describe "wanted" or "unwanted" behaviour that is not anthromorphisising in your view? Dicks both the organ and the behaviour exists accross many species. You can essentially eliminate some behaviours or teach new behaviours in one session using both "positive" methods (you know using a least is aversive right - it's a positive punishment - you add something that makes the dog do something the don't want to do. E.g. when you use a leash to stop the dog from running off and instead pay attention to you the leash is a punishment). You know that witholding food that the dog wants to eat is a negative punishement. When you say "good training" what do you mean? How do you know how long good training takes if you are as you say "not a professional"? What is your basis for judgement aned authority for your definition of "good training"? I suspect you have not actually read any of the scientific evidence. The actual scientific resources for the most part are not available online for free, you need to have access to research papers if you really want to understand the research - and access top research papers costs money. I work at a research university (not as a researcher but I still get staff privileges) so I can access the papers through the library which has subscriptions to many journals and peer reviewed publihsing sites. Most people can't do that so telling them about scientific resources they can access that is avaiable online is kinda pointless, because most people won't pay to access them and even if they do they will probably find them hard going to read - that's just how scientific writing is. I'll tell you what I found when I read the papers that a few of the well known poisitbe only trainers recomended and from searching for papers on the subject. The research is typically done on small sample sizes, e.g. they start with say 50 dogs, and then over the course of the study some dogs will be reomved from teh study for various reasons. The way they rate the effectiven is of the training and whether it was side effects or not is by having a human ovbserve a small number of sessions per dog and that human uses their experience to judge the dog's reaction, how well they have learnt, signs of stress etc. I.e. there is no actual repeatable measurement and of course the dogs can't talk, so there is a fair chance that the studies somewhat reflect the biases of the people doing the judging - e.g. people who put forward the hypothesis like "positive training is more effective than aversive methods" are likely to have a biad toward positive training - after all that is what their grant was funded to prove. It's kinds hard you can have multiple observers but then you have to train them on the criteria and even if you do it is very likely that in judging something like dog stress the resulkts wilkl be variable unless all the observers have a lot of experience. That potentially gets rids of some biases, but introduces a lot of variability in the judgements. Or you use one person to do all the judegment, and your sample size has to be smaller due to time constraints and you're back to one person's biases. And the studies are done over relatively short periods of time e.g. 12 months. These papers may be the most recent and best research we have but it doesn't mean they are right. When there are only say 10 research papers they can all be crap, but they are all the best avaiable research. So I'd go easy on quoting people on websites whio are quoting literature that they for the most part have not read and are taking someone else word for what the literature actuaklly says,

The husband said, “This hippie BS training is all wrong for a GSD and he should be beaten into listening.” Despite him abusing the dog (my suspicion by the dog’s behavior with him) he was really doing well with the lure-reward-based training. The family cancelled 2 classes with me out of nowhere and then rescheduled for 2 weeks later. Turns out the dog was done taking the BS from the husband and attacked him which needed several stitches and antibiotics and he was quarantined per county requirements. Apparently it was not just the dog that was being abused. When they restarted the class the family was down to 3 and the GSD never showed any aggression again. He even came to visit me quite a few times after classes ended. ❤❤ The point is: not all dogs need this level of training or corrections but the ones that do need it done by a professional, like Garrett.

I've been around Pitbulls, Rottweilers, german shepherds, Dobermans for three decades and it never ceases to amaze me how people want these breeds but refuse to pull out the big guns while training and not allow the stupidity and then wonder why they've got an aggressive dog. Wish more trainers would show what it actually takes to put these dogs back on course.

[@jessicagislason4855]

Yup I have a Boerbol and alot of owners and breeders are amazing, but now backyard breeders are popping up and it is terrifying to watch these great dogs spiral, the only thing I can say is fortunately or unfortunately the lacking owner is usually the one to suffer the fallout of that poor decision with a trip to the hospital or morgue...

Dogs don't bite with an open mouth, "they make a fist when they bite". Even if worded odd, this was a huge aha moment for me. I don't know how to word it too much better, but if you ever thrown a punch it makes perfect sense to understand dog behavior a little better. Thanks!

[@vincef7487]

8:51 👍🏽 “Correction” is NOT “Abuse”. But don’t forget, “Abuse” IS “Abuse”. Correct just enough to communicate that a behavior is not acceptable. Any more than that and your dog will “lose the message” you’re trying to communicate to him.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

I work in a vet clinic and I see dogs get put down for this type of behavior all the time. Most people are so uneducated that they kill their dog than get it the training it needs. Makes me sad and I wonder which ones could have had a good life with the right handler. It's the same head strong breeds usually as well.

[@southernbybirth8418]

A trainer I can get behind! This absolutely works!! I worked in a humane society and so many dogs come in that have never received the proper corrections and the owners surrendered them. You have to be swift and hard with correction - not abusive, not at all. If you watch a pack of dogs this is how they correct each other. Please do your research, get the type of temperament that matches yours and physically match your needs. The shelters would receive fewer animals if only the owners would do some research first. Cudos to this guy!! Spot on😁

[@kaitlyndasie5459]

It’s definitely something that needs to be done with certain dogs and it’s an eye opening experience seeing it wether it’s your dog or someone else’s dog but you immediately see the change in the dog. It’s always great seeing great dog trainers that you can continue to watch and learn from. It is up to the owner of whatever breed you have to do your research about the breed and get the dog and yourself the training that your dog needs so that you can have the best relationship possible with your animal

[@reefwiz99]

Moral of this story... Correct this behavior when the dog is 4-5 months and you'll never need high powered corrections. A level #3 pop on the prong collar works fine for a young pup where a level 8 pop might be necessary when he's an adult. Let a puppy hit adulthood without learning good behavior and it's a problem.

Really funny how training like this is not needed any more and outlawed as the abuse it is in the country gour strong breeds come from..most people even don't use flat collars anymore, just a harness. And it works just fine. No need for kill shelters. Even people who do the schutzhund stuff have switched methods because it's proven to work better.a dog who wants nothing more than work for you is always better than a dog who feels like he just has to.the trick is finding a way.please educate yourself and leave the past. If you can train a massive apex predator like an orca like that, or a tiger don't you think it works for the animal that exists only to work together with us? Please join us in the present time.maybe start with reading actual scientific papers on how animals learn best. There is really nothing to debate anymore about the best way, all real research has it shown time and time again. No need for abuse

All the people saying you can’t strongly correct a dog’s behavior need to realize that if the dog bites a stranger the state will put him down…

Indeed and all the rescue owners who say otherwise usually learn the hard way when the dog mauls or kills someone or something, I see it all the time, then they get the dog killed and it's still woe is me mentality 🙃 they often don't really care about helping the dog at all, it's a weird form of attention seeking and selfish behavior all over an animal who simply has never been taught confidence or lacks any discipline and was honestly probably perfectly salvageable to start.

And remember that all dogs come from wolves and even though some dogs behave like it more than others it’s still in there for all of them and it’s good to remember that

Im here as I am a new owner of a large dangerous breed dog. Im lucky as my Rott is still a puppy and her training is what I make it. As a former construction worker I had a lot of little 5 minute jobs. In a Rotts life Im told they live in 5 second spurts. My wife picked a smart Rott out of the litter and she is coming along nicely due to folks sharing helpful tips. Training is every day, and yes you need to be aggressive and make it known who is in charge. I also have noticed it is your dog, you are responsible for their actions. Now there are some dogs that are just crazy. If you are getting a big dangerous breed know how to do a few simple things that will give you a good idea if you want to bring the dog home. I have a no bite policy in my city, it is a 4th degree felony if my dog injures someone. My home owners insurance will not cover damage or bites as my Rott is a dangerous breed. Scary till you think about the protection and loyalty you will have. My vet was the one who told me get her trained early and dont be gentle. I dont allow folks to train my dog, family is the only one who is allowed to touch my Rott as they have owned Rotts. Folks love you dog and give them what they need. One bite here and my dog will be taken and sent to doggy heaven. I am so glad for folks helping with traning. I call it training the trainer lol.

100%! I’m only 5 min into the video and 100%! As a “aggressive “ natured dog trainer as well as last chance equine (rescues on both), I’m typically the last chance for dogs and horses where humans have created issues. While aggressive breeds are a thing due to selective breeding, they don’t end up aggressive when correct training, handling and interaction starts from day one. Dogs need to be held accountable as well. While I don’t believe we as humans deserve the incredible bond, and unconditional love dogs give us, we also don’t own the exclusive right to set them up for failure either by being ignorant, uneducated, or simply less than the pack leader they need, respect and deserve. You can love, hug, snuggle and give those dogs all the love you want and they deserve when they have been raised with the foundation and training they need to live safely in the environments they are in. But when this is lacking, if it’s the difference between corrective handling, or euthanasia, then this gives that dog the chance at the life and home he deserved all along.

A had friends of all color, but soon realized she was absent when they arrived. Being newer, I would have kenneled her in my room to company, and large groups of visitors till she had enough time to just be! Slowly introducing her to our extended family as she was already 3 when I rescued her. The heeler I rescued a few years back at a year, lets the cats rub and play all over him, but is still very prey driven. So let one of them run, for any reason and it’s game on. And he’s killed smaller kittens in the past playing with them. No squeak toys for him AT ALL! So you’ve got to really see if he keys on anything at all in his, and your environments or bubbles. Sometimes with insane hyper focus. It’s like the saying about riding horses, if they can feel a fly land on them, imagine how you feel on their backs. Dogs are so much more in tune, and aware than we can imagine. Or it could even be physical, and ear infection, sore back, pinched nerve.

OMG when I first got my dog (a GSD) he was a damn nightmare. His previous owner has neglected and mistreated him for the first year of his life. He was supposed to get put down, but I hated the idea of a 1 year old GSD getting killed just because his owner was an idiotic a-hole, so I offered to take him. Those first few days I got attacked multiple times, fortunately I'm huge and strong so I able to overwhelm him and pin him down every time. It took a few weeks, but once he figured out that I wanted to be his friend, and that I didn't want to hurt him, and that I was going to give him good food and clear water regularly, he became the best dog I've ever had. He's a littler over 2 years old now, and he still doesn't like strangers (that's a normal GSD thing), but he's so lovey and clingy with me, it's just adorable.

That cat was terribly sick...cats never attack just becouse like dogs, cats a a prey type preditor there not an apex not domastic cats, this means your cat seriously needed help and was crying out for it i suggest to watch Jackson Galaxy form my cat from hell he works with cats like that and every time the issue is something in the cats environment or an illness NEVER the cat itself and its always fear never aggression cats are not aggressive by nature but if they feel threatened by something then they Are

[@kiwi6421]

@@-touya_todoroki I was thinking the same thing. Cats don't have the same sort of social structure as dogs do, they have completely different lifestyles and psychology.

This approach worked with my 1st Aussie when he was 9 months old. He began going after runners, cyclists, anyone and was nipping hard enough to be a legit bite. Two strong corrections cured of him of that for the Rest of His Life! So, I do know that this approach can work wonders. I have had 5 dogs and never had to do that with the others. This type of physical correction would send my 5th Aussie ( a rescue) into an absolute frenzy. I adopted a four year old Aussie (we were his 4th home, he is my 3rd Aussie & my 5th dog) and he came with many issues. It is 4 years later and we have worked with trainers & our vet. Tango has a switch & when it flips, he goes ballistic and enters 'mauling' mode. Mostly, everything is cool, he is an awesome running and biking companion, he is a great travel companion, etc., & then, BOOM! He's trying to sink his canines into someone. He is never off leash, except in our backyard (For safety reasons, we've learned from experience). We don't let anyone approach him - He goes crazy cat, all sweet & loving & then ...BOOM! Cujo. He is in great health, no injuries. Thus far, we are still working with him...., but he has sunk his canines into my leg twice in the past month & a half... While on leash. All I did was get up from the couch once and another time I was just walking by. I wasn't making any sudden moves, he wasn't startled, etc. I feed him, work with him, including agility (he has been very good out & about - excellent recall, enthusiastic, eager to please), run with him, bike with him - He is everything I have always loved in an Aussie but, I have stopped taking him out, now that his 'Crazy' switch is flipping more frequently. Vet & trainers all recommend BE.

I have a lot of respect for dog trainers. Especially, in situations like this.

[@jeanetteiacovone1958]

Be careful not all dog trainers deserve your or any respect! You have got to be very picky with who you permit to train YOU and your dog!

[@cjr4497]

I learned in junior high being too nice with a dog doesn't work. My dad was a decent trainer and was letting me do my thing with my new lab puppy it got for duck hunting and companionship. Well, it had been a about 6 weeks and the dog still wasn't house broken. He had enough and fixed it in one day. I won't say how, but it worked, and I even listened to him better after his correction, lol. Dad was the super boss. With that out the way I did manage to train her to be a great retriever.

He’s in a loving home with people who love him enough to do whatever it takes not to have to get rid of him AGAIN or euthanize him for possibly biting or killing a small child in which case they’ll put him down anyway.

I just LOVE watching your training as well as your other channels. You with your dad, your former canine cop friend who trains....you have given so much and still have so much to give the world. I have a rescue goldendoogle (for 5-6 months) who I was told he's anxious. OMG that was the best of it. He really thinks he runs the house but now only part time. He's not aggressive ANYMORE but he just ignores me. He's more passive aggressive. I'm not able to do the corrections due to some physical injuries but your examples are always on my mind which is actually helping me a bit. Truth is how do you stay on a dog when you can't physically be there to do it. I'd say I can't do it. Fortunately, it's just his weird attitude. I can't be the only person with medical issues and a 50% good dog and 50% ignores me totally. What if I had a broken leg? Luckily, my dog "B" isn't dangerous now. just disrespectful. I've owned and love/d dogs my whole life usually from puppy stage but my other dog was a gift at 5 yrs old from my family. He's fantastic. I've NEVER even had a thought of "what am I going to do to keep Sam (or any dog) in line? Just a non-issue til now. Anyhow, sorry for rambling (though I don't expect anyone to read it). Thank you for all your work and for your and your family's service.

I've always been under the understanding of, which would u rather happen, the dog gets some discipline, and taught that some things aren't acceptable, or have my dog bite u? Discipline=freedom. For both owner and dog. Discipline is not abuse! Learn the difference.

[@SheriLoweTwilight]

I am on the same page as you with dog correction used properly. Too many people "soothe" reactive dogs which is telling the dog to continue with their reactive behavior. I see this in dog parks all the time. Dogs are not human. I have a good natured but dominate Siberian Husky male. I have used these techniques successfully to allow him to interact with other dogs successfully and enjoy their company. He has never been aggressive with humans but would pin dogs over sticks, or a leaf or a ball, whatever, dominately. We got that under control and he functions well. I do keep my eyes on him 100% of the time to monitor his body language and interactions when we are at dog parks as well as those of the other dogs he is hanging with.

[@EffendiChung]

My dad bought home an abandoned gsd. He bit my leg. My dad treated it really harshly for a few weeks, until it learns who's the boss. It's been a real sweetheart afterwards. I asked my dad why he treated the dog harshly, my dad said "Its either me or other people." If it bit some guy or kid outside severely, it will be killed. Same thing with you, when I whoop your bottom, its because I'm teaching you a lesson about life, so you could be a decent human being.

[@Asti.sayAhstee]

I knew a gal who’s yellow lab would aggressively bark, no snarling, at people which he did to me when I first met him. She, my son & I were outside standing together chatting. Her dog had been barking at me nonstop for several minutes. The owner didn’t lift a finger, not even a "no". Finally it was my son’s female yellow lab that corrected her dog. That’s all it took & her dog settled down. I’m sure Kota was like, wha’ da’ f#%k wrong with you ppl. A few weeks later I heard she had her dog destroyed. I felt so bad. That Lab was an easy fix. Had I known her decision ahead of time, I would have taken him, turned him around & found him a good home. Anyway, dogs understand & use physical corrections with each other. The owner is one of those who doesn’t understand this and obviously thinks corrections are mean and/or was afraid of being bit. In being soft on her dog, she ironically killed him in the end.

If me being tough causes that.... call me the 5'4" she hulk😁.

[@JamesCook76131]

Shoot my in laws literally said I was abusing my dogs, yet, they have a mini shitzu that attacks everything and they can’t control it. I have 2 German shepherds and a chocolate lab, they’ve gotten into 2 bad fights, when I was away at work as my wife was afraid of being “too hard” Now they’re the best dogs as they know they are not the alpha, and if they mess up it’s very swift corrections. My wife now understands that being immediate with the corrections and showing dominance is important.

[@charliereed0877]

And yet no one thinks about the dog walking and sitting on hot frickin pavement!

[@anms_brk]

I picked up on this kind of thing by just being around a lot of animals through my life. If you own a dog or cat, they HAVE to know you're in charge, otherwise, they believe they are. Aggressive dominance behaviors have to be stomped out right away or they will challenge you constantly. That doesn't mean beating an animal, but it can mean holding an aggressive pup or kitty down or pushing through them, ignoring them, etc, until they understand the hierarchy. Never had a pet misbehave after training them young.

We adopted 2 Cane Corsos that were deemed viscous. Never had to use any rough behavioral corrections. We used redirection positive reinforcement. You can poopoo my methods but they went from fighting each other to being corrected by the cat 😂 they are afraid if she looks at them funny. They are respectful they are loved they are wonderful the vet said they are the most well behaved Cane Corso’s she has.

I think he applied pressure on a delicate nerve area. If done on a human it would be classed as torture. It's usually used as a last resort and remember failing this the dog could be euthanised. That's why training dogs when they are young is so important. Dogs, especially large dominant dogs are a huge responsibility and getting one and giving it a happy and fulfilling life is what dog ownership is all about. If you can't give your dog the best life it can have then do not get one.
