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

See the Uncensored Correction here with update from owner:
• Reactive GSD 2 Year Up...
Watch Part 1 here:
• Aggressive & Dominant ...
To be clear nothing is cut out or edited to fast track time or skip any section or skip any time during the time of the correction or after it. The correction itself was originally blurred out for reasons explained below but again the exact second the correction is over I'm moving back up right next to him (which is when the blurring goes away). I move right up next to him to crowd him and put spatial pressure on him to ensure the correction worked as intended. Please also note the correction this dog receives lasts 2-3 seconds and COMPLETELY transforms his attitude for the rest of the training day and well beyond and takes up the lost ground from the past 3 years of BS aggressive dominant behavior that he thought was okay up until this exact moment.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend folks try this method or other methods at home without professional guidance so I will not show it for fear that folks will to try to emulate what they see here and do it incorrectly at home with potentially serious consequences. If your dog is aggressive, dominant and/or trying to bite you or others, then I highly recommend you seek professional in-person assistance. What worked for this dog will not necessarily work for your dog. It could make matters worse, you could get bit, or you could cause unnecessary conflict with your dog.
The purpose of this film is for entertainment purposes only and not considered a how-to video.
I am very happy to report that I have stayed in close contact with the owners since he left. He has been back home with the owners almost 2 weeks now since the filming and release of this video. They are reporting there has been a world of difference. He has been doing awesome and they finally have been able to take him places and do things with him they never thought possible. The training has carried over into their relationship with their other dogs and overall they have seen tremendous improvement across the board with all three dogs and are finally feeling confident and in control enough for both male dogs to be in close proximity of each other without a fight. Simply put they are regaining control over their household. I am very proud of them for getting back into the game, following my advice, and putting in the work.

What people sadly don't understand, disciplining any dog in the correct way is not abuse. It's like disciplining a kid

Do have to say: this dog was already tired. And thinking: 'whatever'. After confusion, he listened. Indeed like a child. But wait for the unexpected moments.... Disciplining needs to be constant. Indeed just like a child...

Proper training of aggressive dogs is not abuse, it's literally saving their life, because if they attack a kid, they will be put down.

If they attack anyone even if the dog got instigated the dog still has a chance of being put down

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.

@@zangzang1268 just as though people never deserve to be corrected for getting in someone’s face unannounced? Animals and dogs especially, don’t speak English, they communicate through body language. I have gotten significantly better at understanding their body language since I’ve taken an interest in the process of training reactive dogs. Rarely does a dog bite without good reason. If there is a reason, there are warning signs before the bite. Some people are unaware of those warning signs and body language cues or choose to ignore them.

[@zangzang1268]

@@TristanGibsonDogTraining Agreed. There are also warning signs of a dog capable of biting a human i.e. a dog that thinks it's the alpha with regard to it's interactions with humans. 50+ years with bite work and protection dogs here. Interest these days is more towards rescue leaning towards dogs withdrawn from trauma. Keep up the good work!

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.

[@aaronkinder2807]

I think that's calling pinning and vets will tell you that's wrong. I've only had one dog and at the advice of a co worker that's what I did too. My goldendoodle learned very quickly that what I said was what he should do. 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. I see it as a way of loving my dog so that he listens and doesn't get in trouble that could potentially involve the law and him being put down.

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.

How is it fair to use ineffective training that have been proven to not work. This single training session is not proof the dog is never going to get balanced training. This dog is getting preventative work done. Watch more of this guy and you will see this approach is done once and then reward leaning balanced training once the dog knows what not to do. This, like he said is to catch up the ground lost. The dog was willing to take food and be close to the trainer after. The dog is safer for the people around it and to itself. This is better than ending up getting put down or in a shelter and being put down. No one will be willing to adopt a dog with a bite history and if the shelter hid that someone could die.

[@1337flite]

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,

@@kimways8182 lmao you forget it’s an animal. And it’s real convenient you left out one of the major issues with R+ training. Which in this case was the cause of the bite. The guy clearly stated the reason the dog bit him was because he was taking away the positive reinforcement. Here’s the major downsides to R+ There is a risk that a dog will only work for food and not listen to you if you do not have treats with you. Your dog loses focus or concentration during longer training sessions. Frustration caused by attempting to teach a trick too complex for the dog’s current training level. Confusion from lack of clear verbal or hand signals. Lack of focus caused by distractions around training area (such as other pets in your household or squirrels running around in your fenced backyard). So if you going to try and promote something. Make sure it’s not disproven in the situation your trying to promote it on.

[@willyjgonzalez6560]

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.

I had a GSD puppy in one of my classes. He was a wonderful boy ❤ Three of his 4 family members were just awesome while working with him and he was flying through the class! 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. Families and dogs are happier with training! ❤️

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.

I've been working walking and caring for dogs fulltime for a year now. I may not be an expert like American Standard, but I've definitely learned a lot about dog behavior through experience, and I am very glad someone like you is out there giving this type of training to our fluffy friends. Most owners don't even understand that they're spoiling their dogs, letting them be the owners of the house and their lives. It's not about abusing dogs, it's about teaching them what's right by giving them a prize, and teaching them what's wrong by punishing them, like anyone would raise a human child, for example.

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.

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.

On day three he bit me more severely than any animal (including our horses) had ever bitten me. Returning him was a death sentence we believed so we got help and he got very hard corrections. We’ve had him almost 5 years now and he is a wonderful dog. This is how you save them, and live a peaceful and enjoyable life with them. We also didn’t research the breed well, and we should have never given him free roam as soon as we brought him home among other things that rewarded dangerous behavior.

Thanks for sharing, Barbara!

[@barbarawarren9443]

@@AmericanStandardK9 Thank you for sharing your expertise in all of these excellent down-to-earth videos! I've been soaking in all of the information I could find, and American Standard's are the only methods that fully resonate with me. Thank you so much. I wish I could send my GSD/Malinois, Kokoro for board and train at your facilities, however will continue watching and applying these effective pearls of wisdom to the best of my ability.

[@elenadejesus7489]

​@@AmericanStandardK9well, I guess I have an addiction now. My one year old boerboel has issues, but he's doing better. I will continue to watch and learn. Not such a bad addiction.

[@ADMonolith]

Great video, primo advice, but it’s still funny he couldn’t conjure up “The Mountain” 😂😂😂

[@Subgenrelol]

HIS NAME IS THE MOUNTAIN, Sir Gregory Clegane! Ahh, haven’t thought about GoT in some time. Great show for about six seasons

[@jenniferrhoades4877]

We need more trainer's like this.

[@ShaareiZoharDaas]

He was never properly socialized...good you caught it before he got put down.

[@donna.207]

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.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thanks so much for the kind words, we appreciate your support!

[@panther7681]

At the back of my head, positive only trainers would probably put this beautiful dog down and said it was untrainable. I'm glad the man sent his dog to the trainer who knows exactly what the dog needs.

[@madmick9205]

This guy knows his stuff for sure..Listen and learn.

[@natashatiffany3353]

Here in support of your correction in this video, came from the hour long video you posted about all the accusations. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@brianprice7645]

Most dogs would consider the dishwasher job the top job lol

[@zsuzsuspetals]

I wish I could see what happened in the blurry part though I totally understand why you wouldn't want to show it. I've been an animal lover my whole life and have worked with both dogs and cats in some fashion for the past 35 years. I'm the first one to say things like I love animals more than people. And yet..... even I can see the absolute danger in these new methods of wimpy "positive only" training and how dogs' feelings are being put above the safety of people. People are killed every year by large breed dogs (even though we always hear about these dangerous chihuahuas) This dog needed a firm hand and he got one. You saved these owners future trips to the ER and ultimately saved this dog's life. Too many dangerous dogs end up getting the pink juice, or worse, end up in a rescue with some BS story only to be adopted by an unsuspecting owner. I can rant about this all day. So I'll just stop and say great job!!!! Dogs like this need the John Wayne of trainers, which you are!

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you. Very happy you see the big picture. Most people won't watch the whole video and see that at the end I can be right next to him with zero issues when literally one hour prior he was trying to murder me. Just needed an attitude adjustment. 3 seconds or less to fix the whole problem. Totally different dog after that

[@nedudki]

@@AmericanStandardK9 I got that, but how? with hand, like you did an other video? Thx!

[@kristenharper6925]

I agree, I have devoted my adult life to helping people with their aggressive /hyperactive dogs and I really would have loved for you to show what you did. On the other hand I also understand why you did not. Thank you !

[@Vllain.]

@@MichaelMoore-dw7ft who hurt you? This guy is well informative. I’ve used most the methods in this channel and my shepherd is night to day difference

[@Moheezy]

@@MichaelMoore-dw7ft boss man… I genuinely think you are reading FAR too much into this. Go find a wolf and see if you even get a collar on it, cause you won’t. These dogs were once WILD animals. Domestication can only do so much especially without proper reinforcement within the household… German shepherds are tough, high drive and sometimes stubborn as all hell. You gotta show them who’s the alpha and it was only “severe” because of the dogs behavior. 2nd off as far of your opinion of this man, I just don’t think you have enough straightforward people in your life. He talks like any service member, police officer, emergency department nurse, paramedic, or fire fighter etc, straightforward. He’s not beating around the bush and his goal is the make the message INTENTIONAL and DELIBERATE just like you must be with your dog.

[@haroldmorgan5248]

If the human isn’t the Alpha leader than the dog WILL be!

[@betweenthepoles]

This is such a beautiful dog. So worth helping.

[@natecote1971]

Between this channel and 2 others I have ever learned all I needed to train my dogs it even worked on my 3yo toy poodle!

[@alexyayala1960]

can you tell me the other 2 channels?

[@cdbullandbear]

Ty, ty for posting this. I will be sharing this one on my page. People need to see this and digest it. This can actually save his life.

[@RoyRagnar]

I love the lady that is concerned if the dog is scared... lmao.. lady this dog is like this because you treat him like a human child. Dogs.. not for everyone.

[@bgbanks6462]

I completely understand why it was blurred. But man woulda been nice to see exactly how much force you had to use. Luckily I don't have this problem tho.

[@dendrobialbright7616]

Most straight talk truth I seen from ANYONE in a LONG TIME!!!

[@TheHungarianchick]

Hats off to you sir. It really is like raising children into healthy adults. Discipline and boundaries.

[@pgnandt]

Yes solid parallels. Certainly you've seen the SouthPark episode with Cesar Milan. Hilarious.

[@moeher84]

Always Let your dog know who in charge

[@goofygirl1311]

He's such a beautiful boy, I hate to see behavior issues like this. But it's very good that he has caring owners who are committed to training him. I hope that things have worked out well for them.

[@whoaitsally7676]

Thank you for showing this side of dog training

[@peterdoherty7282]

Great video. Always love watching a dog learn to work!

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you

[@maerbearstories]

People don’t understand dog’s brains. If they do not see you as their leader they will push boundaries and potentially become aggressive. They don’t speak human language. In packs, they assert dominance and that is how you show them the way to live with you peacefully. No abuse happening here at all.

[@krisleal5350]

“I’m mad at me” is the most real shit ever!!!!! I feel exactly that after I correct my dog

[@Bashy-hy2tb]

The one more fitting for this videos besides "thor" would of been "the hound" 😂

[@mrpithon]

This guy reminds me of every character David Koechner plays in any film, lmfao. Great vid, love your stuff.

[@mominthe209]

I think he now knows he’s NOT the alpha dog.
