Aggressive German Shepherd Attacks Owner - Can I FIX Him?

I’ve said this in previous videos of this dog. You have made this dog much more secure, and he seems so much more happy! More relaxed. You impress me all the time with your training methods! “You Rock!”

@@AmericanStandardK9 no thanks needed! You are by far one of the best trainers I’ve ever seen. You’re a no nonsense trainer and as a lifelong dog lover, your help is immensely appreciated and so valuable to any dog lover. I’m trying with my 125 pound guy. I’m super glad he’s not even close to being aggressive and that’s do to my discovery of your channel. My respects to you Sir.

Fantastic results after so much work and patience. 18 month old male GSD? Definitely at the goodball stage. It was clear he'd been shut down from some sort of "over correction" and then without clear boundaries or "tasks", he's going to take the lead - so to speak- in spite of his lack of confidence. Was he an intact male? I love how you preach that the dog's training should simply be implemented as part of one's lifestyle. Consistency is key. My dogs simply knew, no meal until you're in a sit; you don't go up or down the stairs before me. No commands necessary after a certain point, because it was part of life the moment they came into my home. Beautiful work; beautiful dog. I hope they keep up the good work!

Exactly. I plan on getting an APBT for my next dog and I can’t tell you how much research I’ve done on the breed. I didn’t just search things up online. I talked to people who have owned the breed, read books written by fanciers and enthusiasts so I could better understand the breed and its history. I went to an ADBA show back in September and plan on going to a UKC show this November. Making sure I’m a good owner and advocate is something I take very seriously.

[@Hereward47]

@@blueflare3848it begs the question given all the gentle soft natured breeds out there, why you feel the need to get the number 1 in almost every metric for fatal attacks? Like why don’t you get something that literally isn’t capable of killing other animals or humans? What malfunction do you have that you feel the desire to get an animal whatever the bullshitters out there say is and was bred to fight other dogs.

Second, any dog of a decent size and strength is capable of maiming or killing a person or animal. It can and does happen. German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, Huskies, Great Danes. Even small dogs have killed infants and toddlers or small animals. So yes, a poorly trained and/or poorly bred Pit Bull _is_ capable of some serious damage.

There are people who have owned nothing but Pit Bulls for their entire lives and have decades worth of experience who have never had an incident with their dogs.

[@Peter-mf6gd]

This is what happens when people try “all positive, I hope my asshole puppy feels good” type of dog ownership. And there are a lot of trainers being forced to forgo pinch collars because of an outspoken bunch of amateurs who would never deal with a dog like this. Good work. Dogs that live with handlers are happier than dogs that live with owners. And when the general public stops being owners and starts being handlers, dogs with thrive.

[@bbbbbbb51]

I always say the greatest gift we can give dogs isn't love, it's self control. Seeing how much of a difference that 1 quality brings is astounding.

[@Peter-mf6gd]

@ agreed. And that can be taught when they’re puppies by reinforcing a calm mental state. I’m working with a 1 yr old Boerboel that’s had none of this done with him. Now I have a full powered adult who has the physical capability to make his own will happen. The saving grace is that he’s highly intelligent, willing to work, and takes verbal corrections well. So he’s coming around quickly. But for a normal owner, he’d be too much. He’s a humane case and the old shitbag owner created the problem by just tying him up. Almost fixed now.

[@shelleyditommaso]

So he doesn't like being touched around the neck but she is touching him absentmindedly on his head. Not even watching the dog. This is why dogs bite owners. I use the same e collar as you and I have been a trainer for 20 years. I have only used the e collar for the past year. You don't accidently get to 100. These owners are negligent all the way around. This is what trainers deal with all the time. This is exactly why I don't train for anyone unless it's a special circumstance anymore.

[@fredericlinden]

I had made the same comments early today about the fact that she would not stop touching the dog on the head and the neck. I think she even did it on their first visit after the three week training. She obviously tried to 'connect' with the dog, and to me, just to please the husband. I presume that she went along with getting the dog but... ~~~~ As to e-collar, I too have wondered how it would be set to 100 accidentally. Perhaps, but that is pure negligence. At least, I am glad the owner mentioned it ! What those people thought getting this breed ?! And what about the two other trainers (???) ? Incompetent or irresponsible, or both.

[@shelleyditommaso]

@@fredericlinden This is not an easy breed for sure. I can tell you from experience that there are a lot of trainers who lack experience or are so full of themselves that they can't train a dog. Then you get those that are just positive only training. They will recommend putting a dog down before admitting failure. ASDT does a great job at balanced training and explaining the steps and why and when you need to use e collar or collar corrections. He doesn't do it for fun and he doesn't do it to hurt the dog. There are other balanced trainers out there, but not many I appreciate.

I'm new to dog behavioral psychology, but at 5:35, when the male owner kneels and allows his GSD to rest its head above his, that suggests a dominant posture. This could explain the dog's territorial or dominant behavior. While there's more to consider, this seems like an obvious first clue.

[@tagadaki]

I felt that was a weird dynamic between the couple and the dog. Like the dog seems umconfortable being pet by her, you can even see him yawn at the beginning when she pets him and go on the other side at 11:00. The dude I feel like it's his baby and pretty sure and doesnt read his dog well. When you are a couple and own a dog, both should have lead over the dog and not only one person. When he bit her I thought it could be a redirection bite, like he was stressed, not sure he wanted to be pet and he went off on her hand because it was too much. Idk, the dynamic was weird and the dog seemed confused by them.

I hate it when dogs just shut down over nothing. I recently got another lab puppy who has just turned 16 weeks old and has taken almost the entirety of the 2 weeks I've had her to open up. Her first vet visit for a vaccination last week cost me almost £200 since she got ear mites from being left outdoors the majority of the time at the breeders. These last couple of mornings she's been happy and jumping around, but as soon as I have to clean and give her her ear drops, she just shuts down and lays on the floor. To get her moving again, I'll either force her to stand and use my voice to get her moving OR a slice of ham brings her right back around. She's shown no signs of aggression, but was very timid/submissive when I got her at 14 weeks. She should improve further once I start walking her.

The first who trained him as a puppy was okay but did not resolve issues like attacking vacuum cleaner, mop and broom. Only one was a very good trainer. Worked with working line dogs only.

I love watching these, I learn a lot but I’m curious do you do in person or group classes? I have an ACD and I feel like he listened better and had more training then now a year later and mostly it’s b/c I don’t feel confident in dog training and maintaining. I’d love to become more confident

My dog was horrible when I got her. She is super dominant, was aggressive towards all people, especially kids. I didn't know anything about dog training, dog training might as well have been alchemy. I used methods from this channel, Joel Beckmans channel & Robert Cabrals channel to train her. Now I have the best dog I've ever been around.
