German Shepherd Protects Schnauzer from a Dalmatian

Today a Dalmatian was exploring the dog park and playing with a Husky and a Schnauzer did something to make the Dalmatian mad so he communicated 'no! back off' by lunging at him and snapping at him. Within seconds a German Shepard stepped in and stopped the Dalmatian. This video illustrates dog behavior at a dog park in a unique way because it shows the self-policing element of dogs in a pack-like setting.
**This video exists in order to educate people about dog behavior at dog parks. **

Whoever trained that German shepard has done a remarkable job, that even with all those feral instincts - his good nature and temperament shines through. And not only is he able to remain calm under stress and tension~ but he is able to constantly maintain that presence by checking on several engagements. When the Dalmatian goes off again, he goes to check in from a distance then runs off to have fun. Really goes to prove dogs have been helping humans for a very long time~ we kinda have them as lucrative pets now but in some ways they've been helping us since the dawn of time-crazy.

It’s always interesting and enjoyable watching dogs figure out and enforce what the pack order is. Can be nerve wracking for their owners though once their formidable fangs begin being displayed. I always figure that in the end, as long as no blood was drawn, it’s all good; they’re just dogs being dogs.

[@drugsarebad97]

When my wife moved in (before we were married ) we had to introduce our dogs to each other . 1 male pit bull and 1 male black mouth curr. For almost 2 years they occasionally got into spartan death matches somtimes over an empty food bowl even. But now they’re best buddies. That was a roller coaster of emotions over the years . Every now and then they get a little “rude” but no violent fights anymore . I learned a lot about how they decide who’s alpha, and if I’m honest i think they still challenge each other for it on occasion. With 2 males it’s possible for them to co-exist. But *never* attempt that with 2 females. One day you’ll come home to a bloodbath . If you have more then 1 female you have to have at least 1 male so the females don’t kill each other

[@mr.bhewjew3212]

@@drugsarebad97 Yeah, our 2 male dogs would only ever fight over food, there was one time they got in a fight over a toy. However, our 2 females, one being a shitzu, the other being a chihuahua got in aggressive fights all the time for literally no reason. Thankfully, them being small dogs, it’s easier to break up the fights by just picking on up and shoving the other one aside with your foot. A lot harder breaking apart the males, both were mixed pit bull but one was a lot more mixed he didn’t like to let go so I would have to choke him to break his lock. He put 2 holes in my arm before and now I have these scars to always remember him since he isn’t with us anymore. He was only 1 1/2 years old when he passed, poor guy got hit by a car.

I used to work in a dog daycare (2) and I agree with you but I have to say so many dog owners don’t know what to do when it gets worse and it is SO IMPORTANT for all dog owners to have the tools and skills to break up a fight.

The wrestling/multiple dogs caused fear and then they chased. My male pup in that situation, would have turned and fought if I had let it get to that point.

That poodle on the other hand, personally I would muzzle train to socialize because just getting butt-sniffed and whipping around to bite the face like that is just ASKING for a fight to happen. Just speaking from experience! Poodle doesn’t seem outright aggressive or they would have kept trying to go after the dog - HOWEVER if that boxer was not so submissive then the poodle potentially could have had more fear aggression towards dogs.

[@FwJT_]

The Dalmatian can fucking accelerate like a mf.

[@bestlocations1616]

I saw it a little differently than some folks on here: It looked more like a - "Hey the Snauzer is my Friend - so don't overdo it." The Dalmation is like - "are we fighting here?" And the GS was like,"Nope just letting you know." And the Dalmation reacted fairly nonchalantly "OK fair enough." (The GS backs off a little too once his friend is out of it). It did not seem that either dog really wanted a fight (50 years+ experience with dogs). I would call that a peaceful draw. When dogs really want to fight it looks different and then you have to yell and throw each dog to get it to stop (usually they just want to play).

Looks to me like the little guy got what he deserved. He was instigating the whole time. Nothing but a little pack discipline handed out and a lesson learned by both. Great job by the German Sheperd to cool things off. No aggression at all, just a simple "that's enough." Also, EXCELLENT job by the owner for recognizing exactly that, and not freaking out. You ma'am, are a fantastic dog owner.

[@rebeccahicks2392]

On the contrary. The dalmation was being rude for most of the video and showing signs of nervousness. It was him being overreactive. If the other dogs were as sensitive to him as he was to the schnauzer, they'd have been the ones telling him off long before.

[@kimlend7680]

Saw this comment after a year but still, can't agree more. We have an Akita couple that is coming to our dog park. It is a smaller enclosed area if you may call it a park. If they're in, you don't wanna get close to the fence because they look and also as they're not well socialized, they're really scary. Nobody gets close to them other than the 2 dogs that they know from puppyhood. Even as a former trainer who's been worked with red zone cases mostly, i get nervous around them and we have aggressive big dogs around even strays yet none of them scares me like them.

[@GunterThePenguinHatesHugs]

I like how the big dogs stand up for the smaller dogs because they know that they're size/strength is equal to or greater than that of the aggressor! Also interesting how much restraint the largest dogs tend to have, and the smaller ones are usually the yappiest, maybe they think they have to compensate for their size with aggression and projecting a larger presence? Just like people! 😆

i’m a firm believer in dog training dog. it’s how they learn the best, in their own environment. an unruly young dog like dante being very quickly checked by the german shepherd obviously did something, because a few moments later, he did nothing more to the schnauzer and went back to playing. some owner intervention was fine, like the schnauzer getting told off for bothering the dalmation, but i think it got handled wonderfully by the dogs themselves, and that an owner stepping in would’ve thrown that off.

[@AlanaeImontae]

I've probably only PURPOSELY trained 1 dog in my lifetime, the rest just immediately "understood" me or would learn from the "pack leader" who my dad named King lol. If I told a new dog to stop doing something and they didn't listen, he would step in to make them😭. It used to scare me at first til I realized he wasn't actually hurting the other dogs.

[@quartermaster19k]

Telling them off wont really do anything.. thats putting human emotions and logic on dogs.

If you panic dogs can feel it. Best to remain calm, if something bad happens step in calmly. Dogs respond to leadership and being calm is a good way to portray it

[@Pompomeranian7]

I think it just comes with experience and learning pack dynamics. When you understand pack dyamics and dog behavior you're able to determine what is real aggression and what is just establishing pecking order and boundaries. All the owners did well not to intervene in this situation. The dalmation is young and learning how to interact with a pack. The other dogs were simply schooling(german shep intervention) or enforcing their personal boundaries(ex the french poodle that bared its teeth)

[@05bastille]

sometimes if you step in it can make turn the game or scolding into defense as they think becasue you're close you either spurring them on to fight or they think you might be in danger and get over protective. Normally they just calm each other down, mostly there isnt need for major intervention, unless maybe its a big one against a small one, but also their owner will know when its still chill and play and when they need help
