Powerful Dogo Argentino Growls at Mom! - Learn ways to deal with this.

[@Washcloth_Peddler]

People need to start doing research about what breed of dog they’re getting. You get a breed that’s been bred for generations to be stand-offish and don’t understand why they don’t get along with other people or dogs? Stop getting dogs just cause they look cool and get what matches your social lifestyle.

[@kateb5233]

Agreed. I see people in apartments or small houses that want working breeds, like husky, Jack Russel, border collie etc. ( dog breeds that need hours of exposure/work to be happy and live well) and expect/want them to be couch potatoes.

I’m currently raising my 3rd Dogo. My first Dogo I started obedience school at 4 months. He then rode with me for 8 months 4 days a week in a handicap bus I was driving. Best training ever. He met various dogs traveling with their owners. Seeing eye dogs, rescues, emotional support, never had any problems. I always kept him by my side and he would greet them as they got on the bus. He was never neutered. My second Dogo a spade female. She was a year old when I acquired her. Ironically she was an offspring of Morocho the Dogo in Argentina that rescued the 2 young girls from the puma. She has been a wonderful dog. This video is so true. You should never let your guard down. These are very powerful dogs and it doesn’t take long to kill or maim smaller animals. I personally have seen my female take down several javelina that are wandering around the desert were we live. They instinctively know what there supposed to do. Exercise, training and love is very important.

[@Alteori]

7:18 there is a clearer shot of hair being raised. Tip for new dog owners, if your dog goes stiff when looking at another dog, and the hair on their shoulders and along their back stand up, they are excited and gearing up for something, usually an attack. If it happens while playing, it's not too bad. If it happens if your dog is looking at another dog and they are fixated and still and STARING, it's usually a dominance or intimidation display. HOLD YOUR LEASH TIGHT AND CORRECT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

[@User7688.--_]

The leash should be loose, and mom should be ready-down and to the side for a correction. She knows this. And, never a tight leash. They can feel any tenseness from the arm, through the leash to the collar, which they can react to. With a tight leash, they can feel every quiver.

Yet another brilliant video, Joel! I only met a Dogo once - male dog, very confident, tail up high, approaching slowly, but the dog was lose on a property me and my husband walked past with our female dogs, both on leashes. No owner in sight. Panic set in. In me, at least, whilst the husband was quite oblivious on the kind of dog we were facing. Our dogs totally lost it upon seeing the massive Dogo, and were lunging and barking at him. I stepped in front of my younger dog and yelled my head off, desperate to alert the owner as I knew what these dogs could do, and was seriously concerned about the well-being of both my dog and myself. Surprisingly to me at the time, the Dogo, upon seeing me step in front of my dog and yell at him, stopped. And when his owner came to get him, he went to him just like Sniffy returned to Joel on cue in the video. The owner said the dog didn't do harm to other dogs, but I preferred to not test the waters. We did have a nice conversation at that point though, about his dog and how well-behaved he was. A true gentleman, being respectful of the females no matter how weird they behaved. When I grew up in Germany a few decades ago, this was NORMAL behavior of male dogs. No male dog (no matter how aggressive towards other males) would, EVER, to my knowledge, harm a female, even if she was barking and snapping at him. But nowadays, one hears of this happen all the time; weird, I don't think males aggressing females is normal canine behavior. Anyway, thanks a ton for the video, Joel!

They don't come into their own a lot of times until 1½-2 years so be aware that your girl might go through some changes in temperament around that time and if she does it's normal for this breed. A lot of mine are okay with other dogs until about that age and then if they sense even the slightest challenge it's a death match to them and it's one of the most horrible things you can imagine so please, learn her body language well and if you feel maybe she's testing you or others you can always reach out to Dogo folks with experience. I've always gotten plenty of great feedback and training tips that actually work as well.... there's a lot of tricks and nuances that you won't find with many other breeds so the experience with the breed helps a lot... or someone that understands dogs period such as how he understands Prince and his many difficult clients lol... your dogo may also be one that is not going to act at all like a dogo... no disrespect here but it's a truth that is becoming unfortunately, more seen as they become popular and people want them as pets. True dogos are working dogs and if you don't understand that (not you personally but anyone really...) you just don't really know the breed imo. They're not for everyone.... they're not for most people actually and for good reason. Good luck with your girl though!!! A good relationship is key to anything else so

Opinion alert: I typically like your technique but with this Dogo I can tell you that your approach should have been to put Sniffy's mom in the "Alpha" category from lesson one. D.A.s are awesome family dogs, very intelligent but very pack oriented, and take a heavy hand (not for the faint of heart). Also, the tail and ears are not a true indicator for D.A.s. You have to pay attention to what my family calls "getting fluffy"! That hair at the neck and tail. In any case, as long-time Dogo owners, they do typically become more dog friendly and easier around the two-year mark with good firm corrections and it doesn't seem to be nuts or no nuts dependent! 😁Keep up the great work.

They do hit those ages where they're gonna test you. The creator took a dog that literally COULDN'T BE BRED as they'd rather kill each other. Genetics are strong. They needed a dog that had what it takes to kill puma and boar or fight it after days of riding. The dog it takes is the Dogo Argentino. That's why they're called the King of Dogs. What do you imagine when you think of a king? A sedentary overweight white dog?Or, the dog in this training session?? Yeah... regal.

He's a WARRIOR. Please treat them as such... respect the man that sacrificed so much to bring this genetically engineered masterpiece to life by not trying to change the breed. When I have folks apply for my pups, and they tell me they have little dogs, and will walk or run with them a couple times a day... just no. You did not do your research. You are not prepared.

That is a beautiful looking dog. My rescue Staffy Boxer cross, is a big, powerful dog and his behaviour is similar to this dog. Originally I could not get within 100ft of a dog, without his going crazy on the lead and showing all signs of anxiety. But using Beckman's advice, he is at this stage now and vastly improved in his behaviour. When I get close to a dog, he still can be a bit reactive by trying to get closer to the dog, but a lead pop corrects that. He now does a play bow dogs but I would not risk him off the lead or let him sniff a dog if he is not calm. He has now sniffed three dogs, which is massive progress. But with his sudden reactivity when he gets excited and realising that he will always be a dog with a dominate nature, I accept the fact I may never be able to let him off the lead and play with other dogs. I've changed his behaviour in many ways, but he will always be the nature and character that he is. I've had dogs all of my life (Even an Akita), brought up from pups and trained them to be excellent with their behaviour off lead. This dog that I got a 5 years old and I have no idea of his history and experience, apart from being told his last owner only had him a month and he pulled the owner over, breaking their ankle. I got him a couple of weeks after that. There's been a lot of work in undoing his multiple incorrect behaviours, but although I wished I could get him to behave like my previous dogs, I know he will never get to that stage. He is a wonderful dog though. Thanks Beckman, this video made total sense.

Thank you for saying you CAN correct a growl sometimes. I got attacked 6 weeks ago though doing it, owner did not give all the information on her super dominant dog, did not tell me he is muzzle conditioned. He growled at my nice helper dog....when I said "hey" and popped him away, he came at my-6 times or more. I toyed with whether I should have corrected, but I always came back to him being extremely jerky for no reason, and just peeing 5 or 6 times through the fence on my helper dog, I just felt over it...but you are right, until you know the dog, use the tools.

You can stand your ground without giving comfort or approval. (He calls this posture "calm, assertive.") This woman appears _reactive_ and afraid, in this clip.

*Lupita Torres,* if you're reading this: I did not mean my comments above as a criticism, _in any way,_ of you or Sniffy. Twenty-three years ago we took in a 9-month-old, very dominant (alpha), male American bulldog. My partner and I had to learn how to become pack leaders, and we made some mistakes along the way. Eventually, though, we came to understand we had to project a higher-status energy whenever we were with our guy. Most animals read energy exceptionally well, and dogs want to know, clearly, where they stand in the pack hierarchy. I always sensed that my guy felt he was an "apha-in-waiting" -- meaning, if anything were to happen to me, he was ready to step into my role. Until that time, however, as among the three of us, he was the one who had to back up. 👨🐶👩

[@ImSimplyAHuman]

This may sound like too simplistic an answer… But dogs have a very intense sense of smell and it’s one of the things that makes life enjoyable for them. They just need to be taught that this behavior is *incredibly* rude to humans, and it needs to be enforced with *every single person* they encounter. So keep an eye out when your dog is meeting a new person so that you can correct immediately (and let people know that the dog is not allowed to do that so they are aware they have permission to correct the behavior)

They moment I seen him look at Prince and that tail went straight up and his body tighten up, huh I knew that it was on for him, I could feel his energy through the video. From my experience you can NOT have a Dogo with the same sex dog. My intact male gets along great with other females but another intact male he will be ready for the challenge (and there will be a challenge).....same with my female(s). I had the female(s) both partially spayed and both still would want to fight and one actually got extremely aggressive after she was spayed. The Dogo reminds me of a crocodile...they will act like they're not paying attention to whatever it may be then go for it "out of the blue" (unless you can read them and know this about them) it just like a sucker punch the other thing won't know it's coming until it's too late. My intact male always played with his intact male son until he got to be at a year and a half then he wanted to challenge him, I just got the puppy neutered and hopefully there won't be any problems between them in the future, with that said I have work to do with them in that regards to them living together (even though the son is an outside watch dog, the other is inside). ALL of my Dogos are trained and (they know my house, my rules) behave well on walks, when walking by another intact male I tell my male to "leave it" and he obeys me as we continue on. I love the breed but they are NOT for first time owners or people that can't read a dogs body language, they can be deceiving to their strength, even the cute little puppies. They are very attractive and people want them because of their beauty (I learned about them for years before I got mine) but just like he stated in the video they are like loaded missiles. Well, I have tons to say but I'll leave it at that, blessings 🙏🏽❤️😊 ...and might I dare to say, I have a Chihuahua (5lbs) I got her when they were 6 months old they are aware of her gentle with her and do not run her over, my Dogos 1 male & 1 female) will be 5yrs in December, the son will be 2yrs in March. I also got a cat he is 7 months old and they don't bother him but yet gently play with him, like I said my house, my rules.... I let them know that's my kitty.
