First Day With A Reactive Belgian Malinois

[@celek702]

Guess people are first timers here and don’t realize that this video is the first time this dog named Ronin was introduced to dog parks and not on the channel for the first time. If you watch other videos with Ronin, you’ll realize that the training and experiences he has had since this time period has drastically changed and has now become a very calm, friendly and confident dog. Too bad the ignorance of some people who comment here without thinking is astoundingly stupid.

[@katiedenes2086]

So well said!!!!

[@NixxSlays]

Exactly

[@Nostrada-mus]

Not really, I train dogs for a living and can tell you that for every one dog that improves, 10 become worse. This guy is dumb and so are you for defending him and thinking this is a good thing.

[@carissatanner7596]

This is the exact reason why I stopped going to dog parks. People bringing in fearful reactive dogs that just end up causing a dog fight. Not worth the risk anymore. Glad he’s not reactive like this anymore but Jesus this was hard to watch.

[@ShilenthilI]

Dog parks are just heck holes, incompetent people being their dogs and then let them fight other dogs. I own two reactive dogs, if I brought them to a dog park, that would be such an irresponsible move. I like this channel as it breaks down certian body language, just wish he would stop bringing his dog(s) and letting the dog(s) get in fights.

[@carissatanner7596]

@@ShilenthilI I agree I think he’s really good at reading dog body language so I don’t know why he keeps going to these dog parks😭🥲it’s a recipe for disaster

[@ShilenthilI]

@@carissatanner7596 For sure. Dog parks are full of owners, who bring their dog who has terrible recall. Or aggressive dogs. Then they attack dogs like ronin, and he has been told off for brining his dog(s) to dog parks knowingly that a fight might occur. So many people are calling him a moron for bringing ronin to a dog park immediately after getting him, and for the fact he even goes to them.

I NEVER let my dog crowd the gate at a dog park, nor should anyone else. They should always meet on open ground, humans keep walking away from each other so the dogs can move on if they don’t like each other. Absolutely hate people who stand right by the gate with their dog, always the best way to start a dog fight

[@williwipfel6]

Right!

[@wadehampton5116]

I have two GSDs and they go to our local park twice a day. I know that if we're gonna have trouble, it'll be one of two things: crowding at the gate or someone not taking the leash off of their dog. Starts a fight every time.

Yes, he is a fearful dog not agressive. Those two things are very different. However, the worst thing you can do with a dog is take them to a dog park.

[@kosatuner]

on the same boat here.. i haven't had a dog in a while, but body language is read thru experience in my opinion, you need to be exposed so it's just keep working on that.. one thinks is a good dog owner until sees a video like this xD

[@Spaceguy13521]

Fo real it was acceptable enough when you were out by yourself but bruh you literally said it in the subtitles his emotions were going crazy when you met those dogs, from excited to scared, I doubt he would start a fight but if those other dogs kept charging who knows what could happen. like you said in the title this dog is reactive. you say not to go to the dog park when theres alot of people but I like the dog park when theres alot of people the problem is when alot of people bring their untrained dogs with NO PRECAUTION. I get its also just normal to have a barely trained dog that cant control itself, but you didnt even have that. " The owner SAID he met other dogs so iT shOuld Be fiNe" bruh your irresponsible.

[@mainsidequest5203]

Sorry but this video was about socializing him, not teaching him recall. Also you can train in back yard all you want, if your dog is not socialized and reacts to other dogs your recall won't be listened to. "I seen dogs that have lived together from puppies nearly kill each other … an animal is an animal at the end of the day …" I don't know what to tell you, if you own a dog and pay attention to their body language you learn it. I can see what my dogs intentions and mood is for that day 2 minutes into a walk. And you can see what your dog intentions are towards other humans/dogs before they even get close enough for contact.

[@tylerl3905]

@@mainsidequest5203 serious question: how do you properly socialize a dog with no leash and no recall? Just let it get face to face with a random dog, cross your fingers and hope for the best? The whole idea here is that you start on leash in your backyard to build up recall, and then work your way up to the dog parks. It doesn't have to be 0 to 100 or one or the other.

[@mainsidequest5203]

@@tylerl3905 recall and socialization have nothing to do with eachother, you can argue he could had socialized this dog on a leash. But it's a 8 month old puppy, and the dogs he met he knew most of them, it's not his first or only dog, so having him of leash is fine. Puppy at that age won't just go attacking other dogs. And he is learning socialization from other dogs, we can't teach them to interact with other dogs.

[@tylerl3905]

@mainsidequest5203 being able to recall your dog from a social interaction is very important to help give it direction as to which behavior is acceptable and which is not. You letting other dogs at the dog park correct your 8 month old puppy instead of doing it yourself is lazy. And if you think because a Malinois is 8 months old that it won't be aggressive, you clearly don't spend much time around them

[@16945pie]

@@EviLpr0duction ​ @EviLpr0duction Sounds like you're projecting your own insecurities about dog ownership. If you think its acceptable to let dogs run loose at dog parks with no training, you are a moron. These are bare minimum precautions you should take with unfamiliar working dogs, especially ones who have been historically bred for defense and are likelier to be reactive. For the record I've never had a desire for Malinois, but I professionally fancied and trained several breeds (primarily bird dogs) for over a decade. I'm well acquainted with what good training practices look like, and have seen several incredibly trained Malinois, and it sure doesn't look like what we see in this video. If you can't be bothered to do basic training with your dog, and get aggressive when people imply that you absolutely should, maybe YOU should stick to cats.

[@TheChosenOne20100]

Like other commenters said, I also do not think it's responsible at all to bring a dog that you personally have bought a few days ago to a dog park off leash, *especially* if he has shown fear and discomfort around other dogs before. In my opinion, it would be much safer to gradually socialize the dog in a controlled manner, so that his fear is gradually eliminated and there is less of a risk of an attack happening and/or serious injury is inflicted on a dog/person involved. While the situation in the video turned out fine, it could have gone much worse. Edit: after I watched the whole video and learning about Ronin's recall being bad in an off leash dog park on the *2ND DAY* of ownership is actually insane. That's a dislike, sorry dude, I like your other videos, but your behaviour in this one is, in my opinion, too reckless to warrant a positive reception from me.

[@Bert-Kay]

TLDR

[@phantomfloof24]

Yall are complaining about how terrible him and his dog did but this is the most well behaved new dog ive ever seen, and the brealdown of the body language is generally correct so long as you have the basic break down theres nothing to worry about

You should NEVER let a dog you've known for only 24 hours off-leash in a dog park. You shouldn't let a dog you've only known for 24 hours off-leash, period. It is unsafe for both the dog and people/humans that are around, especially with a potentially dangerous dog like a Malinois. I have a young adopted German Shepard, and I worked with her for at least a week before letting her go off-leash, so we could get to know one another and our personalities/triggers. I still have to watch her like a hawk at the dog park, and have complete control over her behaviors before letting her around other dogs. What this owner did is a recipe for disaster. Malinois can absolutely be aggressive and bite as puppies. They are extremely common dogs to bite and should only be handled by an experienced trainer.

@Bert-Kay Thanks! Lady had cancer in November 18, 2021. She had to be euthanized. Never bit , hardly ever barked. No toy drive at all. All squirrels and cats were Evil!! So many memories! I hope you don't mind my post.

The only thing the guy might have done better was not allowing Ronin to get away with not coming when called. He obviously knows how to read dog body language and he does better at that than I've seen most people. Actually most people are completely oblivious to dogs which is why they always have problems with dog fights and aggression and other issues. People like this guy are really leading the way because he posts these videos, which he really doesn't have to do, to help you to learn how to read your own dogs properly. Anyone that is leaving nasty comments just are ignorant and jealous.

[@jeany_beany8410]

To all you guys critiquing without having any basis on dog psychology, this guy has extensive knowledge in dog behavior which is what I think you guys are forgetting. He has said previously, don’t do this if you don’t know what you’re doing, which makes you think “maybe, he is someone who knows what he’s doing!” In this video ronin is a puppy, he is susceptible to pack hierarchy and learning boundaries with other dogs. The owner understands ronins demeanor prior. He probably knows the dogs at the park already. With how he analysis behavior he can tell if two dogs are going for the kill or if they are just having a tussle over pushy behavior. He can make ronin avoid dogs that would be trouble by looking at that dog’s behavior. For all we know this guy went to college for dog psychology, or grew up with very knowledgable parents, or just learned it all online. Point is, he knows things that are keeping him, his dog, and other dogs safe. So stop pretending like you know everything and that your opinion is the only right one! Look around what facts you see, were any dogs harmed? Were any people harmed? Did ronin run off into the abyss? In fact, the first thing we see is the owner establishing a pack hierarchy with ronin. Stop hurting this guys image unless you actually know something, stop spouting opinions.

This is why I don't go to dog parks. I have a very well behaved dog, photo on left, but there are always poorly trained and poorly behaved dogs at the dog park. I would have to tell this guy to control his dog and keep his dog away from my dog and keep his dog on a leash. But, I don't go to dog parks, like I said. Too many poorly behaved dogs.

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Poorly behaved owners who don’t understand dog behavior . This guy can at least read dog behavior to a detailed degree. Just think he made wrong choices as was noted before.

[@catgiles3268]

I have 2 German shepherds and I always take tennis balls with them in the dog park. Because I know my dogs and they’re sole focus in a dog park are the tennis balls. They only want to play with the balls. But again, I know my dogs and have had them since they were puppies and they’ve been trained and socialized. It’s a matter of training, socializing and knowing your dog before you throw them in an enclosed space with other dogs or expect them to share their toys. This guy is taking an unnecessary risk for his ego.

[@whatdoiknow5075]

lol it's always such a bummer when people like you get a working dog. Dog parks are terrible, especially for working dogs. You should get a goldfish

[@Luna0.420]

Make video in a year. Pushing him off WILL NOT STOP JUMPING, instead making a game. TURN BACK AND IGNORE!! Why give that much freedom to a dog you known a day?! He wont understand boundaries and eye contact if not been trained REPETITIVE by you!! Adter 1 day and you know this much about dog??!! I would love to see same dog after a year with you!!!

[@jendad275]

Thanks for the slow motion reads on dog reactions. Invaluable to those like me, who are fairly new to dog rescue world.

[@billploplis6947]

A dog that size--or any pet in a car--should be secured with a safety belt. In an accident that dog could go sailing through the windshield.

[@RommelGSD]

I was at a dog park with my girlfriend & her dog when an IDIOT walked inside with her 2 year old kid, put him on the ground and walked away texting totally oblivious to the potential danger.!?!?!? I immediately told her that this is not a babysitting park & that some dogs don't actually like kids. On a side note, I was bit by a golden retriever when I was @ 10 because kids used to throw rocks at it when it was a puppy, I found that out later. & still have the scar. I didn't blame the dog, now the owner for not saying anything, well.... She looked at me and could not believe I called her out, but she did remove her kid. There also was another guy who had a large male rottweiler who enjoyed watching his dog run around and "challenge" other dogs. I would bet that more than 90% of people never bother to train their dogs. It seems that the smaller the dog, the less "training" they have because owners don't provide any boundaries & treat their dogs as a toy or a human. How many times have you seen people let them bark or do whatever and they never correct the dog? They either ignore, laugh or don't pay attention. My friends kid had a Dachsund with a "cute" pink bling-bling collar that had a huge gap around its neck. I told her that the collar was actually a functioning piece of equipment FIRST and that the dog could easily get out of it. Of course, this dog was amped up and got its leash entangled with a much larger dog 5' away because she wasn't paying attention to her dog. I kindly told her that is a great way of getting her dog bit by another fearful dog. I never took my GSD to any dog park for these very reasons and always am aware of what's going on around me. I get discouraged when I see people let their dogs down.

[@DavidEJacob]

YEAH! People think dog parks are human social clubs. I LOATHE DOG PARKS not because of the dogs, but because just like you said, there’s always a half dozen or more people just like you describe! And what do you think those ‘Karens’ will do if your dog knocks her 2 year old down 🤬

How did you train his recall? Amazing video! Waiting for the next one

[@DD-hj3sj]

I like that you understand canine behaviour but this isn’t the way. Control before freedom. I don’t do dog parks enthusiast my Presa Canadio or American Bully since it’s basically a fight club and my dogs wont back down. We do off leash trails and my dogs have 100% recall so we can avoid any off leash untrained dogs.

[@ME-cn1lq]

Dog park in my town is never a fight-club. But to be honest I never see there any American bully or Presa Canario. So if you know upfront that your dogs are aggressive towards other dogs, you better go somewhere else, smart decision.

[@catgiles3268]

Thank you! That’s the way to do it. You understand your breeds and have worked to train them. There’s other ways to give dogs freedom instead of throwing a Belgium in a dog park. This video is nothing but ego, in my opinion.

[@zangzang1268]

Good analysis and commentary on the behavioral interactions with the dogs. They are always communicating, just in ways most don't understand or even have the awareness to know it's occurring. Pack leadership requires an understanding of how dogs interact.

You bought a second hand Mal? 😳😳

[@1just4laughs]

As the video shows he isn't the brightest crayon in the box

[@ZigzauerLT]

I both agree and disagree. I took a rescue Mal which as I look way back was a very dangerous stunt ( he was 1.5 year old, chained to a barn most of his life ) and within a year managed to train to act properly around house, my little kids ( yes, It was a very very very dumb idea, I agree ) and a cat. Also socializing to other people, cars etc. Currently doing quite a good progress dealing with dog reactivity . He's a decent dog now but it's quite expensive considering you have to meet trainer at least once a week and spend loads of time training him on your own, but's it's kind of doable. On the other hand - I've met quite a few Mals that people had from their young age and didn't train them at all - it's a disaster
