@TheDogDaddyofficial You are the $hit! I just found you and wow I am impressed! My 6 month old GSD is in his teenage phase and is super barky. No other dogs want to play with him. You are coming to SF, but it's full. Bummer. But I will continue to watch your talent via videos. You are amazing!

[@daveskolnick9643]

Augusto I missed you San Diego class last time. I went to Dec 17th and there is no observation option to register for the class. I am a Professional trainer here in SD and was glad to see the Dec date pop up. But I can't register. Can you check into it or will there be no observers? Is there going to be 2 sessions or just the one? Thanks

[@PepsiJCrazyfcker]

I wanted to say something in response to the dog training hotdog guy criticizing dog daddy's training method saying it "makes the dog "shut down": 1. If a dog is shut down it won't listen to prompts from the trainer or owner and 2. If a dog is shut down it won't even be engaged enough to show proper behavior. So in other words dog Daddy's dogs are not shutting down they are becoming engaged. And he didn't have to use a hot dog to get that sort of engagement

[@kensJAMZ]

I recently took on a neighbors German Shepherd because my neighbor became ill and couldn't care for him anymore so he asked if I could. I've watched a few videos from Dog Daddy and this german shepherd was always very territorial and aggressive towards strangers. Now he was okay with me because he had already met me a couple times, but he did not see me in command or fully respected me. There was one day where I walked him, and he got super excited and worked up to go chase a car. I stood my ground and didn't allow him to go chase it, he tried to get out of the leash and tried to pull away and swing away. And when he knew I was the one in control of the leash, he became aggressive and lunged at me. I knew he was doing this to get me to let go of the leash so he can go chase the car, but I knew if I let go, this would not end well, so I held my ground. This became a very dangerous situation quickly and all I could think of was, I need to take control and show him whos dominant. He jumped and tried to snap at me and go for my neck but I would swing him around avoiding bites and controlling his head movements with the leash. I didn't act aggressive towards him but remained calm and very attentive to his aggression. After I saw a window to submit him by grabbing his collar and standing over him.. he then calmed down and submitted. I waited for his anxiety and energy levels to calm down before I started to loosen up the grip. I wanted to let him know that I'm not here to fight and I'm not here to back down either. From this day on, he has become one of the best dogs I ever owned. We are best friends and he sees me as his true pack leader and looks for any command I have taught him these past few weeks. Dog daddy, you truly have saved me from giving him away to a shelter or giving him away to someone else. Through these videos, I study closely about the interaction, body language, and psychology. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You made me a better dog OWNER and a LEADER

[@Vermontvillianess]

❤, I love this, you're amazing for giving all your effort to save that pup. The reward of love and loyalty given back is worth everything you put in. I took understand this but it's because I spoiled my dogs to excess and have been using DD videos to help better control my pups. ❤

Just never gets old to see Augusto work with these dogs, releasing them from prisons of fear and aggression into a life of fun; all the while, with every step, informing owners as to the why’s and how’s.. just completely heartwarming❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥.. i always breathe easier for everyone as the session completes and all the tension has literally dissolved into tail wags and smiles!! ☺️☺️

[@AyanamarieC]

See how quickly that dog calmed down in response to a strong confident handler? I love seeing stuff like this. There is no comparison. Dogs raised by people who coddle their dogs can be so neurotic. Especially shepherds!! This was 😍 beautiful. The inclination not to leave her side shows that when he showed signs of fear she very likely comforted him and inadvertently reinforced those fear based responses.

[@robin212212]

100%; dogs have been bred to follow humans for the last 10,000 years; for some people to think dogs should be given "agency" and not given clear and firm direction is ridiculous. I fosterer a lot of dogs and puppies and they love the obedience training sessions.

Tutti i cani, si calmano se gli pianti un collare a punte nel collo....

[@nightskylerj]

@@marcostroppolo7784this is incorrect I had a dog that would pull you through a prong he was a one person dog so if I tell him it’s time to go and you are holding the leash he will drag you with the prong on prongs don’t calm down dogs

[@Loki-Rosies-mom]

​@@marcostroppolo7784the dog had a prong collar on before DD started 😂 it's about using it correctly and it doesn't hurt the dog at all. Stop listening to Zak George and his BS statistics 😂 I've had to start using a prong collar and I've exhausted all options and it's a last resort but it's effective and I'm using a breed specific trainer to make sure it is okay 👍

[@lamrof]

Treating dogs like children is the issue. Let them make their own mistake and learn on their own doesn't work on dogs. He said it it is all about habit for dogs, more so than humans although the same applies to us to some extent. We have our intelligence, we can be idealists, we can be creative and risk takers.

Hé needs a calm confident owner handler - unfortunately hugs , kisses and treats may be part of the problem.

[@shirleyujest7786]

Augusto, this is the type of content that I love to see. Real time work with owners that immediately relaxes the dog and moves them through their fear. You really explain the psychology of your methods and seeing them in action is just a testament to your amazing gift and its effectiveness. Thank you for your dedication to rescuing owners and their dogs from a lifetime of fear and discomfort.

[@ozzie444]

@keithgriffiths9864 Zak George is Frog Eyes 🐸. He's a weirdo so-called dog trainer who is very critical of Dog Daddy. If he ever had a truly reactive/aggressive dog to try and handle, he would shit himself. He needs to "stay in his own lane," as the saying goes. Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, and Teacup Yorkies.....lol.

[@tunktrnder9957]

thank you for the lesson.

[@thejaxter6384]

Our rescue choc lab had really bad fear aggression for about a year after she came to us at 7 months old. She was always trying to hide behind us when another dog came close. She would start 'warning' other dogs when they were far away. She would raise her hackles, her tail would go all bushy and she would bark like crazy. We worked with her every day until she finally got past it. She is 12 this year and so full of fun and character. She still comes across other dogs she's not sure of but we just reinforce the training we we did all those years ago. We discouraged her from hiding behind us by using a 'reset' command and movement. We found it gave her something else to think about and do rather than panic upon seeing another dog. Never give up on your dog. Training is the key.

[@bretkindell6887]

I have a friend in Akron Ohio with a 3-4yr old female cane corso who seriously NEEDS your help! He's had her since she was born and he doesnt have her under control at all. It's dangerous and it's not fair to the dog at all because its not her fault that she just doesnt know any better. She's confused because he's not consistent with anything and she runs the house and destroys everything and now he has one of her puppies too.

Did you all notice how DD removed one of the link in the prongs and set it on the table behind him so the collar would stay high on the neck? Or did you miss that. Its the little things that can make a big difference.

Good to see complete understanding of the reasons for the dog's behaviour - and sympathetic methods to improve it. Well done!

[@erikadogmomanddoc]

amazing that you incorporated other people into the training, very practical for when friends or family come over to visit. rewarding their calmness is also key, not giving them treats to try to calm them down (doesn't work!)

Love these types of videos bc they're so instructive & informative. Repetition is good to help us humans learn, just like it is for the dog.

[@michel3691]

I rescued a dog roadside. He had been abused and was fear aggressive. I worked with him for a year. He did well except when he had PTSD episodes. He became this reading little guy. I would look in his eyes and it was like he wasn't there. I wish I could have gotten a different ending for him, but I have a special needs daughter and grandkids. I loved my Ember. RIP Ember It wasn't your fault life was so hard.

[@wekabird886toktown7]

I remember reading a saying that said....'if you treat your dog like a human it will treat you as a dog'. I think it deciphers into, if you try to coddle your dog too much it will have no respect for you and will run the roost, and you. Alpha is very important in a dogs world and if you can be firm when you need to be, it'll show the dog that it has nothing to be afraid of if it follows the rules.

[@serwinzzalot9989]

Not so much that he's an alpha, it's just the person the doggy understands. It's like finally someone is able to communicate with the poor little guy. He was lost and looking for guidance and direction but no one was helping. This goes for a lot of kids in our community too. This is why I'm scared if they start to regulate training our doggies like they regulate raising our kids.

[@cerenadefalco7684]

Excellent. Took the E collar off that a DIFFERENT dog trainer suggested. He explained why the dog is acting a certain way. Augusto knows through his own experiences with dogs that certain behaviors don't need extreme measures like E-Collars. Zak George you should be ashamed of yourself for attacking Augusto. I was here when Augusto started out. I was here before YOU started out. I've seen both of you. If the owners of these dogs thought there was abuse they would have done something and said something.
