Introducing a new dog to your pack

[@naominaomi440]

Solid new dog... stood his ground without antagonizing 👌👏

[@deeevansnola8178]

I have a 1 yr. Old GSD and we just came home with a 14 week old GS puppy. When introducing we placed the puppy in a crate and let our 1 yr. Old GS sniff him while in crate then we took puppy our and put him on my lap. The older dog just sniffed the puppy for a while when the puppy became curious he wanted out if my arms and on the floor checking out his new environment and my 1 yr. Old just followed behind. They are now besties

Damn, scout is cool as hell.

[@joeschmoe3665]

People don't understand how innate hierarchy is in animals as well as among humans and that it's okay to be submissive because if everybody was dominant we would be fighting constantly. We tend to think of submissive as a negative word but it isn't as long as you follow a competent leader while retaining your ability to think independently

[@yttee9734]

Great comment.

[@jpdogtraining]

You’re correct. Many would like to believe this hierarchy does not exist in the dog world. Release 4-5 dogs (who’ve never met) into a dog park and you will watch them jockey for position every time. This is why I hate dog parks. It’s a recipe for disaster because their is no clear leader. . . Secondly, some watch this video and it “bothers” them because it seems risky, they attach human emotions to what they think the dogs are feeling, or fear the dogs could have gotten hurt. What they didn’t see is the countless hours of training and trust I have in my pack and they have in me. I know them and they have been highly trained. Without a doubt, they know I’m am their leader and these dogs will default to me. . . So, if I choose to believe there is no hierarchy, then there is no leader. Where there is a lack of leadership - chaos is inevitable. . . If people watch this video simply for what it is (a raw example of how dogs interact when they first meet) then maybe they can appreciate the way a dog thinks. Because if you can’t do that you shouldn’t ever train a dog.

[@SassanMedia]

Yea, let other dudes mount you bro. Not everyone wants to be submissive like that.

[@t-woodpeckers1185]

I love scout, so relaxed

[@evviamarshall3479]

Probably the best video I've seen regarding introducing new dogs. Thank you for respecting the nature of the animal.

[@zangzang1268]

Depending upon the dominance and "horsepower" level of the pack lead dog, I make my presence known in the ritual - they all know the boss is observing and to keep things within the limits of my approval. That respect is worth a pound of cure. :)

Beautiful dogs!

Great job a lot of people don't understand it takes a lot to work with one more than one dog especially dominate dogs like German Shepherd Doberman Pinschers pitbulls Etc

[@brendo2lit574]

Nominate or dominant ?

[@lionchild999]

@@brendo2lit574 lol just saw this

[@TheUntoldTruth]

Good job man I do same thing But just with stray dogs

[@krame99]

I honestly think Scout is respectful and not afraid of any of the other dogs in that yard. If it came down to a respect and in Scouts space he would really hurt one of them dogs.. He is very well behaved and also very patient his dog instinct will kick in at some point and he will have to show the others who is the alpha and that him the visitor. He is not showing any signs of fear his tongue is out the entire time these other dogs are communicating with him.. This dog is amazing but he will only put up with these other dogs for so long before he snaps. In my opinion Samson is showing more dominance than is needed for a situation like this he is making the other dogs more tense and Scout is trying to be calm and respectful. I would work with Samson right away as you are recording the video and correct him for being to aggressive and making the other dogs tense and aggressive. You are supposed to be the leader not Samson he is controlling you and the rest of the dogs and it is only going to get him hurt or someone else. I don’t believe that is the proper way of introducing a new dog into a pack. I just watched the beginning of a why dogs fight and the owner didn’t make any effort to correct the situation.

very good looking German Shepard's

great video! i have a 5year old black blanket gsd just got another black blanket gsd haha our color are great! not tri but wow scout is cool just like my new pup, hope to have a 3rd gsd within 10months, another black blanket.

[@joelstelmark6675]

Sampson showing his dominance but wagging the entire time Great job all around

[@Raumance]

Beautiful.

[@marcusfrisch5129]

I have a German Shepard and she’s gets really protective when other dogs come to our house and I’ve been wanting to get another puppy, do you think my dog will be fine with a new puppy?

[@jpdogtraining]

It's hard to assess your situation without knowing your dog. Yet, the key is to create a culture where you are the leader and your dogs are the followers. They need to take their cues from you. In my experience, it is typically easier to bring a puppy into your home than an adult dog.

[@freeyvngthedrillas2773]

Yes

[@queenie.lawyergirl.pittymom]

I have a 17 month old male Rednose pitty that I have had since 8 weeks and he is my world. I was thinking about rescuing a 1 year old male black lab. ANY TIPS please

[@RJ-vy9ch]

What’s your stance on training your dog to be non-vocal? I don’t want my shepherd to be barking his head off at everything, every day. I want to cultivate a calm and quiet demeanour.

[@cherryy4639]

You basically train him not too but it comes from your confidence if your not confident in the situation the dog is going to feel like they have to bark at everything Bc they feel that you are incapable of protecting them. When they bark at things they don’t need to you give them a correction and tell them to calm

[@RJ-vy9ch]

@@cherryy4639 Thanks. If he's excited to see his dog friends or the sight of a member of the family having not seen them for a while he may bark out of excitement, which I don't correct. I try to be calm and confident in all situations so he doesn't bark at anything. Mission accomplished.

[@JudithStewartPhotography]

Do you have a video on dealing with introducing new puppy when one existing dog is not happy and showing aggression? We are so scared our male cocker is going to physically attack the puppy female, we have intervened each time he has lunhed, snarled or got aggressive vocally.

[@jpdogtraining]

We do not have a video of that dynamic. However, we encourage you to introduce them in short organic spurts - not a face to face forced introduction. They need to know you’re the leader.

[@Willow-gj8d]

Wow thanks for this video 👍

[@j.t.m.1296]

I need your advice I really hope you see my message, I just bought an 4 year old un neutered female shepherd and I already had my 7 year male shepherd unneuterrd FIRST what do I need to do while she is on her cycle and what can I do in the future to prevent problems, avoid drama ? Thanks

So what do you do when you go in the house for a beer?

[@jpdogtraining]

As long as they share and it’s not a light beer!

[@ravenmarie7942]

I have 2 chihuahuas and I’m thinking about bringing this pit bull mix with blue healer into the mix it will be my first dog that’s my own the pit mix is a male and I have a male chihuahua and a female the pit mix is not fixed and is territorial outside how do I acclimate them? The female is aggressive and the other one just barks and the pit has never been around other dogs what do I do?

[@peteratassiborges]

Appreciated your video/instructions! BUT, a question important to me; -- I'm going to be introducing a new Doberman, a visitor for 2 weeks to our house) -- we have another Doberman and a very small dog: So, in your clip, How could you be sure that the dogs would not fight? in the very beginning, before the submissive posture of the new dog, they could easily get into a fight, no? No leashes, fences,etc... - thanks for any feedback!

[@jpdogtraining]

The key is that I completely know and trust my dogs to submit to me and obey me in every circumstance. Without this high level of obedience, I would never try this without every dog on a leash.

[@TheMalikEhsan]

My new dog took my dogs alpha spot 😂😂

[@nicoleftamer]

How long does this little game go on? And how do you handle introducing a dog like a mini bernedoodle into a home with a GSD? The issue I am having is I am afraid that the mini bernedoodle can’t defend himself like scout could if he needed to

[@jpdogtraining]

If you are the one overseeing the introduction, things will be under control. In this video, 3 of these dogs are my dogs - so I know and trust them. I know how far they will or won't go. In other cases that are not my own dogs, I would have leashed up the dog(s) who were being introduced. This gives you control and an easier way to guide the process. All that to say, leash up your dogs so their interactions are under your supervision and control until they learn the rules.

[@amenamanuel2617]

This is wrong. I have bred German shepherds, Huskies and Rottweiler’s. If that dog wasn’t a submissive dog and dominant it would have been a bloodbath.

[@cherryy4639]

I don’t think he allows them to bite

[@akchanneltv4084]

very true

[@jpdogtraining]

Watch again and you will see my dogs were never once out of my control and I within a few feet of them at all times. I would have been even more hands on if my dogs or Scout were putting any dog in danger. You can see there were no bites and I stepped in a couple of times to remind them I’m their ultimate leader regardless of what their working out amongst themselves. Which by the way, they would do with or without me - make much more sense to be managing the ritual.

[@carmenmaldonado9130]

Hi I have two dashund dogs. One is 8 yrs old and the daughter is 6 yrs old. I will be rehoming a German Shepherd, do you think that’s a good idea with her being a yr and two months old?

[@mistapropa408]

You made a mistake when you praised Scout in front of them, prompting Sampson to immediately go into a more forceful interaction.

[@paulamariabarwick8817]

Do you have any introducing puppiez?

[@debargh543]

what do i do if the dog does not submit

[@jpdogtraining]

Debargh the exact response depends on the dog, but it is vital for you to follow through so the dog will see you as the leader. You may want to consider our E-course to help you learn to become the leader your dog needs you to be. You can learn more about the course at www.jpdogtraining.com/online-training

[@MikeB-oo9bj]

If you are not adopting the dog and it is just there for the weekend, what's the point? The dog seems totally uninterested in ur dogs. Respect the pack order of what?? Your dogs live together.

[@jpdogtraining]

Fair question. This was the first time they’d met but I have boarded him numerous times and it’s gone great. I’m convinced it’s because we moderated the introductions assuring success.

[@stickbug3349]

it dont slide like that here lol I'm the alpha not any of the dogs, nun of them bark at eachother or try to mount

[@jpdogtraining]

While I agree with you, the reality remains that when you’re not around, there is still a leader (alpha) amongst them. Pack work like in this video can assure dog owners and trainers that I know how the dog view each other.

[@glendamarie2098]

So , how about a dog that won't be submissive ? That will just take challenge and react ?

[@Spookyriderz]

Aww poor guy can't even move lol

[@jpdogtraining]

Thank you for your comment. Keep in mind that this video is raw and unedited -- unlike a Cesar Milan TV show. Not all dog training is like Hollywood. The process is always a learning experience and would never be used with dogs we did not trust and know as well as we did all of the dogs in this video.

[@thelunatruth3860]

Yea i agree it’s edited for sure but the other thing is Cesar Millán someone I follow and have all his books and have done it his way which has worked very good for my dogs, Cesar way is to train the humans which then helps the dogs feel the calm assertive energy from the human which then the dog feels the human is the pack leader. Which JP all those dogs know he is the pack leader. Anyhow, great raw video. Liked it.

[@suelou1742]

You are the alpha not the dog. Should not allow barking or growling at each other.

[@jpdogtraining]

The purpose of the video is to show how dogs can work things out within the boundaries you allow. No one can be with their dogs 24/7 so it’s valuable to see what takes place in their mind/actions. This video is not meant to be a tutorial as much as to help viewers understand the bigger picture of how dogs think.

Tbh your dogs kinda just flattened him out. He didn't really do anything except get bitched out by your pack.

[@jpdogtraining]

How’d they “flatten him”? No one got knocked down, bit, mounted, or hurt. These were dogs what dog do (their nature tells them to do) -- size each other up so they can establish an understanding of the hierarchy.
