A very emotional video. The most striking feature is your compassion with this dog. You speak of 'battle' but even during the struggle, your compassion shines through.

[@peppybreyer88]

I train horses and he’s using a pressure and release situation. The pressure (his close presence) is added when he growls. When he stops the pressure is taken off (he steps away). It teaches the dog that when he’s calm he gets a release of pressure meaning in the future it teaches him to be calm quickly to get the release he wants. first video I’ve seen from this guy and he’s got good methods!

the problem is that her dog is too big for her and asserted dominance over her. she should get some smaller dog. being scared of your own dog is a very bad thing and asking for trouble - such dog can maul you or even kill you. I have 2 big dogs - caucasian shepherds. one is 88kg another 93kg basically 3x the size of this dog and both are very dominant breed by nature. when they were puppies one of them started growling and barking at me. I told him to stop and he didn't. he challenged me so I put him in headlock, pinned him down with my weight and I was choking him until he surrendered. never had that problem with him again. if I didn't address that issue back then I would be in big trouble now.

[@cbcdesign001]

@@adrianakuzmikova1697 I question the use of dominance based training methods which have been thoroughly debunked over time. The only reason the trainer in this video did what he did was to identify triggers and to find out weather or not the dog was just neurotic full stop. But he is quite clearly not advocating negative training methods as a way of dealing with dominant behaviour, he rewarded good behaviour numerous times actually and never resorted to brute strength as a demonstration of dominance over the dog. The last thing any trainer should do is create potential for a new trigger, domination training methods can do just that. There are lots of articles on line now discussing the downside of dominance based training methods. They are well worth reading.

People get certain breeds because they're "trendy" without looking into what the breed needs. My friend had 2 huskies she walked them 3 miles in the morning, 3 miles at lunchtime and 6 miles in the evening and that was during the week at the weekend she took them hiking up mountains of which there are plenty ty here in Scotland and they still weren't tired out. If you do t walk them they literally go mad. They're a breed that should not be kept in an apartment they need space and so much exercise.

A very dominant dog, and with much anger... Must take an enormous amount of patience and consistency to train him.

[@pkk639]

I rescued an aggressive doberman who would lunge for anyone who came near him. I walked him/jogged with him for 2 hours everyday. He was knackered by the end of that. Then I'd take him to the busy town centre, muzzle him and walk him all the way to the top of the high street and back again. He was too knackered to care about all the people walking past him. It didn't take long for us to be able to do it without the muzzle. Knackering him out was also a great way to help socialise him with other dogs aswell. Within a year he was such a different dog - well behaved, calm, friendly and wasn't lunging at everyone. He had the most beautiful temperament which due to the original owner was not seen. Its sad when you think about it - because my dobe felt he was higher in pack than his original owner, he was nervous and felt he constantly had to protect himself and his owner. I taught my dobe that I would protect him so he didn't have to. Best dog I ever had ❤❤❤

But i know he will get over this problem as well. any suggestions for me on how to overcome his aggressive behavior towards other dogs.

[@pkk639]

@@infomatters. I can only suggest giving him loads of exercise before taking him to socialise him with other dogs. Perhaps put a 20ft long lead on him whilst he's with the other dogs - this worked for some of my dogs as they didnt feel the need to protect me as I wasn't in immediate range but if any fight ensued, I could still pull them away. One of my rescue mastiffs I have now doesnt get on with any male dog's. He's perfect with females but he'll fight any male that comes near him. I just accept that that's how he is and manage the situation. He's Presa x Neapolitan so he's too big and strong for most dogs to take any chances with. From what I've just read, your dog is a very intelligent breed. Knacker him out, put him on a long lead, take some treats to keep him interested in you then just give him a treat whenever you are near another dog. Make it a positive thing being near other dogs. Good luck x

@@daves.5301 i do understand what you are saying and agree but most of the time aggressive behavior is not FULL time in dog it is triggered by certain actions by humans or certain situations. Like if a dog does not like its ears touched maybe it snaps at you but the rest of the time its chill and loving. What scares me more then being bit is if it were to bite someone else. Thats would be my nightmare. I am ok with getting hurt because of my dog or my actions but getting someone else hurt....that terrifies me.

The dog is over protective of the woman. She isn't the alfa here. The dog knows she's family but with minority rule. She may put the muzzle on or pet it but once another stranger is introduced the dog is forced to battle its dominance. It will bite the woman at no cost to let her know that she isn't the alpha to protect (these are ground rules in the animal kingdom, if two animals are fighting for dominance others don't intervene.)

I have a German Shepard who has wolf in him. I worked with him soooo much. Do not obtain a GSD If you do not have patience or confidence in yourself...they are a very intelligent breed and if you aren't assertive they will OWN you. I remember when I went to take him for walks...and I'd open the door he'd try and pull me out. He was only a month or two. It was behavior I addressed quickly. So one morning I stood by the gate with him on his leash and every time he'd try and pull me out I'd bring him back and close the gate and start again. He was getting frustrated and did everything correctly before I'd open the gate. I did that 35 times before he finally gave in. I remember that day like it was yesterday! I rewarded him with a couple of treats...and of course a peaceful walk hahah! German Shepards are incredibly stubborn, but if you invest time, work, patience, and love into them they are awesome derpy babies and make amazing family/guard dogs haha! Duke is 7 now and he's the best dog. I get compliments all the time on how well behaved he is...and how well he listens. You can't give in to stubborn breeds. Work with em!

Every GSD has Wolf genetics. The scientific Latin name for wolves is Canis Lupis and the scientific Latin name for a German Shepherd Dog is Canis Lupis Familia (Wolf Family).

That dog sounds so evil lol. I was nervous just watching and listening from my phone haha. Kind of reminds me if my first gsd. She was such a nightmare .. no kennel would take her cause she literally would not just bite them but would try to eat them. My ex wife and I dropped her off at a new kennel for the first time. I had to walk her to the kennel myself. We left and started our 7 hour trip. About an hour and a half into the trip, I got a call saying we have to come pick her up she is out of control. We weren't mad. We know she was a hand full and could be dangerous. So we picked her up. On the way to get her my ex wife called tons of kennels in Jacksonville to see if anyone would take an aggressive 90lbs gsd. Found one about 45 min away from where we were picking our up at. So we brought her there. Again, had to walk her back to the kennel lol. They assured us that she would be fine and we'll taken care of. So we started out trip once again. We called daily to check on her and every time they assured us that she was doing great and was perfectly fine. So our week vacation was over. We started our drive back to Jacksonville. We get to the kennel. I'm expecting to have to go back and get her myself like always. But her she comes running down the hallway, no leash, and the guy that got her out far behind her. She came running up to us loved on us. The guy came over and started playing with her. I was like bruh, what'd you do to my dog? Haha. I was like I spent time with her and every time she tried to bully me, I stood my ground. It was at that moment, we found a new vet and kennel. They absolutely loved her. After talking with this guy for like 3 hours out front he told us how to work with her and thing to do and try. She actually became a very good dog. But damn, 4 years of living like that was hard. No trainers would work with her. Said she couldn't be helped. Had a Rottweiler female who was an amazing dog up til the day she died. My second gds was also a female. She was a well rounded dog. She tried bless her heart to intimidate people. But everyone knew she was a big baby and she'd back down every time haha. This video brought back memories of my first gsd. I miss her so much!

This dog is the opposite of doninant! He's a fearfull shell of himself

[@SmAsh_lee13]

I agree with you to an extent bc I feel if you are “fighting until he realizes he can’t win” you establish yourself as the “alpha”. Dogs are pack animals not human mind animals, they respond to what they instinctually know. They think “I’ve been barking and going crazy and they (humans) usually let it go” and theyn when they realize they loose and they aren’t the boss, they emphasize that they are rewarded by this behavior. I deal with this a TON being a groomer and understand that they are only doing what they know so when you change that behavior to “I’m not going to give into this” they completely change their mindset. I completely agree with the “mental battle” but I feel that, that in itself is making yourself alpha to him, him knowing he has to listen to humans (alpha), without “putting him to the ground”” Great props to you for your patience! 👏👏🐩💕

[@samgeorge1452]

The alpha theory has been disproven for decades. In fact, the dude that invented the idea of alphas in wolves literally proved himself wrong because he was looking at captive wolves, which act significantly differently than wild wolves. This isn't to say the idea of dominance is all wrong, but you don't need to be the alpha. Your dog just needs to know that they can't get away with whatever they want.

[@SmAsh_lee13]

@@samgeorge1452 Never heard of “that guy” before but I’m just stating my experience, I am a pet groomer and have worked with anywhere from 4-12 dogs a day for over 14 years now and have found that to be true, not on every single dog but 98% of the time. Nowadays humans put their human mind and emotions as k9’s and it does not work, saying “alpha” doesn’t mean wrestling the pup to the ground necessarily, means that they know you are in charge and not them. Go to a daycare or dog park with a lot of dogs and see how they are with NO human interaction and you will see the nuances that I am speaking of, I just simply use what I see them doing as their instinct to work with them in a way they understand and not forcing them to understand something I am making up. Similar to how an older dog corrects a younger pup by applying bite pressure to their neck nerves and they instinctually know that correction. But like I said that’s just my experience 🤷‍♀️🐩
