Georgia seemed way more frustrated that she couldn’t meet the dog than “aggressive”

[@laylaflame]

Reactive dogs are often insecure and that high level of arousal can quickly shift to aggressive behaviour out of fear. Wagging tail doesn't always mean a happy dog. However based on the small amount of video of her here, it looks to me that she can most definitely work through those insecurities through training and be able to play with other dogs eventually - this process can take years as its really important to take things slow to avoid the possibility of set backs through bad experiences (and the possibility of the reactive dog hurting another dog).

There's a dog like Fiona at the shelter I volunteer at. He's been there for over 3 years. We think he was neglected, not given enough love, because he's terrified enough of new people to cower and tuck his tail and bite if they get too close- but he's actually a playful, goofy sweetheart if you gain his trust. That makes it even sadder to me, he could have been such a great, easygoing pet. I hope I have the means to adopt him someday, because I doubt anyone else will. My heart goes out to you Fiona, it's not your fault you ended up like this.

[@MissElisabelle]

There was a time when we were seriously considering to take our dog to the shelter because he is a 115 lbs livestock guarding dog crossed breed, and on top of that, he is aggressive to most male dogs AND strangers. I don't know if his aggression to strangers is fear based or territorial, but it takes him 10-20 minutes to accept a stranger, afterwards he becomes cuddly and sweet, so maybe he's just protective. Anyway, we didn't know he would get that big when we adopted him from the shelter. Shelters are also responsible for omitting important details just so the dogs can be adopted, not all of them are like that of course. It was becoming problematic, and it was incredibly stressful. Yet we loved him so much, I couldn't bear the thought of him being enclosed in a cage, waiting for us to come back, or for someone to free him. We kept him, and I am glad we did. We might not have the best reputation in the area, but we are improving, and I will definitely adopt more dogs in the future. Breeders are not evil. You can adopt from shelters and purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder. Don't support puppy mills or backyard breeders.

[@MissElisabelle]

@Jane M Geddes I do control him, we hired a behaviourist and a dog trainer. What makes you think that my neighbours are alienated? I said he is wary of strangers. He actually loves my neighbours and he has over 30 people he loves. As I said, he *was* problematic. We couldn't walk nicely because he would bark at people. Now he doesn't mind, and if people give him time and space, he usually warms up within 10-20 minutes and he gets friendly. We've come a long way. He is also NOT my first dog. My first dog was not problematic, he was friendly, but we got him from a reputable breeder. My current dog was adopted from the shelter which told us that he'd become as big as a labrador, not twice its size. We hired a dog trainer from the beginning because I knew that given his LGD genetics, he'd be more difficult to handle and socialize. We also went to puppy classes. Yet, at around 6-7 months he started becoming aggressive to strangers, whereas he used to be shy but at least he didn't bark and he'd actually pull to sniff people and say hi. I don't know exactly what happened at around that time. At 1 year old he was attacked by our neighbour's dog which was loose. And a few days later he was attacked by another loose dog, and then another. He wasn't even provoking them, he was just sniffing the ground and these dogs came out of no where. In total, he was attacked 4 times. So no wonder why he stopped being friendly to male dogs, and now he's become aggressive to male dogs too. I guess he wasn't seen as a puppy anymore, so those dogs that used to be friendly to him, suddenly attacked him. These owners still let their dogs loose and I am the one who has the "difficult" dog now, the one that barks at dogs. I do take responsibility for my dog, and I will continue to train him, but I can't stand the fact that someone else ruined our progress or, worse, introduced new fears. Let alone kids throwing firecrackers at dogs on purpose, including mine. He wasn't afraid of loude noises, but now he literally developed a phobia. You'd think the police cared? I couldn't explain all this stuff in my comment because it would have been way too long, but there you go.

[@Galemor1]

@@MissElisabelle At 6-7 months, his balls dropped, like we say about horses... It means he turned from puppy to teenager.. And it's from that time, people start to rehome their dogs. I see it where I live so many times, people gets a puppy, thinking it's cute, and that they then can shape it to fit them, but doesn't really do anything, because IT IS SO CUTE.... (not saying that's your case) Then when they close up to the 1 year mark, they aren't cute little puppies anymore, and the cute and funny behavior, isn't cute or funny anymore, and instead of taking responsibility for their own lack of training, they just put it up for adoption. And there aren't enough responsible dog owners, to be able to handle cases like that. So they just sit in the shelter until they get killed off.. Just because there aren't enough people to adopt, or enough space for these unwanted dogs.. Which is just teenagers in need of a leader who teaches them what it means to be a good dog..

[@SupraJulie]

I think you are naive if you think that the friendly dogs were no longer friendly and provoking him because he was not a puppy. Livestock guardian dogs are bred to be aggressive. They are meant to instinctively guard things with no training. Livestock guardian dogs have no place in the city or suburbs. Even if you take precautions to keep them from biting people they are going to be so stressed out all the time thinking that they are not allowed to do what they are supposed to do.

[@MissElisabelle]

@@SupraJulie There are tons of LGD living in urban areas. Mine was seriously minding his own business, as I said, these dogs came out of nowhere, like behind parked cars for example, he didn't even see them! The first time, we were coming home, and we saw our neighbour's female dog. My LGD sniffed her and then wanted to play, at that point the other dog came running from behind a car, pinned mine to the ground and bit him on his neck. My dog didn't react, he just cried. Only after this episode, he started to react whem attacked by other dogs. He is still afraid of our neighbour's dog, and will avoid him every time, whereas the other dog growls and tries to intimidate mine. LGDs are meant to be territorial, yes, but balanced dogs know what's a threat and what isn't. They will NOT bark for nothing, or attack for nothing. Our local Maremma Sheepdog breeder says that his dogs will bark at you if you approach their house, but will be absolutely friendly on walks, and I saw them myself. My dog was never aggressive to any dog before these attacks. I am not being naive, I know my dog, and I know he can be aggressive, but I also know what triggers him and why he reacts. He doesn't react to every male dog, only the ones that provoke him, no matter if they're neutered or intact (and you may know already that a dog does not need to bark or lunge to provoke another, it's basic canine body language). As I said, I have been working with him and with a behaviourist and dog trainer for over a year now, so I know my fair share about problematic dogs, trigger stacking, calming signals, warning signals etc... In short: yes, my dog is aggressive now, maybe he would have turned aggressive anyways as he matured, but in this case, 4 attacks made him extremely reactive and aggressive to male dogs. The day before he was a friendly pup, and after the attacks he was never the same. Ps: any dog can be aggressive. He was attacked by my neighbour's Golden Retriever which is commonly considered friendly, right? Then by a Pitbull, an Australian Shepherd and a Labrador. I do expect my dog to be protective, I don't expect him to become friendly to strangers. Please take a read about classical conditioning and counter conditioning. My dog is relaxed around strangers as long as they give him at least 2 meters space and don't look at him directly. He will listen to me, he will play and take treats. After 10 minutes or so, he usually decides to take a sniff and then he totally accepts strangers. If he were stressed about their presence, he would fixate on them, he wouldn't look at me, listen to me or consider me at all.

[@SupraJulie]

@@MissElisabelle I studied psychology. Conditioning is one of the first things they teach you. I also work with dogs. I also have worked with LGDs who live in cities. They all have issues like your does to some extent either with being territorial around other dogs, biting strangers when they come into the home, or other issues. I think you are in denial about your dog's issues. Not all LGD's have the same level of territoriality. Some are more territorial than others. However their instincts is to create a territory that they protect particularly from predators (which includes other humans and canines). The same thing happens with scent hounds. They want to hunt. They want to bark at things and chase them. People get hounds and house mixes all the time and are like 'I don't know why he breaks out of the yard and barks at everything. Must be because the neighbor's cat teases him.' He also may be reacting to cues that you are giving him that you are unaware of. Almost every dog has had at least one bad experience with another dog. Most dogs do not react like that. The dog does not listen to you while he is 'fixated' because paying to attention to you is not important. That's because his instinct to guard is overriding everything else, or he does not think that you are a competent leader.

[@craftyhobbit7623]

It can be frustrating for the 'volunteers' as when I was in my late teens/early twenties, I would have loved to volunteer at a rescue centre. One problem you always encountered was excuses like 'we don't have time to train people' or 'we have enough volunteers' (but you never know with the latter, if they really do, or not) and one favourite of mine was volunteers never turning up - that last was at a city farm. Another time I put my name down for conservation volunteering, but never got contacted. Putting people off from volunteering happens a lot so I feel for the guy who said that they never contacted him to go down. The poor jack russel could have had a lot of training to get over his anxiety around people if someone had been there to take him out regularly and get him used to people, and the brown dog could have had his fear towards other dogs dealt with easily if someone had been working with him. It's sad that shelters are badly run like this as it's not helping the dogs. It also messes up careers of young people because they aren't getting the experience they need to become employable in the field.

[@valzeppelin5153]

If they train the dogs to not pull when they walk on a leash, they would adopt out a lot more dogs. That one thing is a huge plus.

[@AnimalEmancipation]

But it requires a lot of time. Shelter dogs usually don't have enough exercise. The short amount of time they have outside they are too excited to focus on training.

[@muskanmalhotra2045]

What I have learned watching the episodes is that every dog is lovable, full of affection, kind and smart. It's just the negligence of people taking care of them. Or not giving them the same love. Which makes the dogs frustrated and aggressive. Because they are deprived of proper attention and care.

[@PixieoftheWood]

I'd love to see more videos like this, maybe exploring the different things that could go wrong with managing a shelter. Another issue I hear about at a lot of shelters is when they create unattainable standards, like telling a couple that they wouldn't adopt to them unless one of them quit their job to be a full time owner for the dog. Considering you can adopt a child when both parents work full time, the standards seemed a bit ridiculous.

[@nahalastone8027]

I remember reading an article written by the director of the ASPCA how he was denied twice from getting a dog from one of these rescues. His observation is while well intentioned, they're often mismanaged by people who know very little about dogs/cats as a whole. Untrained staff and volunteers, poor managers, mismanaged funds, and poor customer service/PR have put up barriers to animals getting into good homes. Not perfect homes, but good homes. If every kennel could have a professional like Victoria come in and point out what they're doing wrong, it would be a huge boon to those animals wasting away behind bars.

[@draganyurie8731]

It's great Victoria helped and all but - how did these workers/staff not come up with that idea in the first place? It seems like common sense.. I mean, even most people know dogs don't do confined for long periods of time.

[@cristiaolson7327]

I think a big part of it (based also on watching other videos from this episode) was that they reached a point where they were just trying to keep up with all the tasks, and things just slowly got out of control over time. Sort of like the metaphorical boiling frog situation, where you don't notice how bad it is because it didn't happen all at once. Sometimes it takes an outside person with a clear perspective to see where the issues are; it's the same reason many companies hire outside consultants to help them identify problems or inefficiencies.
