I love his show and thisjust summarizes and lays out all of the basic methods he uses on the show. What i love about this guide kzbin.infoUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d is that you don' need to read the whole book cover to cover ... You can skip to the chapter (lesson) you want to read about. The book is arranged almost as a problem-solving guide ... Here is the problem and here is what you need to know/do to correct it. This man knows his stuff ... But more importantly knows how to teach people how they can work with their pups themselves!

[@benwilson5893]

He's training the owners more so than the dog. And I thank him for it.

[@maemae4909]

In most cases the trainer is just needing to give the dog guidance while training the owners who continuously give the dog mixed, inconsistent and confusing messages. You’ll ever meet a good pet owner who is inconsistent in their messaging to their pet.

[@maemae4909]

I notice a lot of women feed the bad, aggressive, territorial or possessive behaviors they develop around the female owner because they don’t actually want the dog to change the behavior. They get off on the dog getting aggressive to anyone but them which is incredibly dangerous and selfish because that dog bites someone and you now have a dog that can possibly be euthanized. They know this and don’t care because they use the dog to feed their own twisted low self worth and insecurities. They actually give positive reinforcement to bad behavior wanting it to continue rather than stop to protect people and the dog.

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

That’s because the owner is almost always the issue Not saying people have bad intentions… just needs training 😂🤷‍♂️

[@wvangel5629]

He is amazing at this, and u can tell he is not hurting these dogs in no way, the dogs seem to respect him after his techniques!!!

[@brittanybear9951]

Also what I see is that they trust him because he is so precise and calm. They feel towards him like we would a very skilled surgeon, chiropractor, dentist, etc. They respect and trust the uncomfortable situation because of the safe and skilled hands they're in.

[@stainedglass8401]

Exactly they don't gag , whine or make sounds of any kind of pain or fear. I might change my leash soon by adding the ones sold by this guy or the dog whisper the trainer that corrects bad dog behavior also.? Fits closer to the jaw than the neck. None of the dogs react to any pain on their throats . or chest from the harness.

[@oa2621]

Dude… You don’t have to explain yourself. You are a great dog trainer. Most people think they are experts and they treat the animals like they are humans which they are not. They do not understand the human psychology, how the hell are they going to think that they understand dog psychology. Do not let other people stupid opinions affect how you do your job. You do it very well. 🙏❤️🙏

Why are all these people outside with pandemic masks on?😂 You are outside! I have never understood how someone makes that make sense and they are wanting these same types of people to healthily and consistently train a pet with their own thoughts, fears and trauma, likes and dislikes, different ways to convey what and who they want for their environment.

[@exceptionallyskeptical587]

Agreed they are - but HAD the owners taught the dog correctly and been firm in the first place they would not have the problems now. This can be done with a firm and in charge owner and no pinch collar.

[@exceptionallyskeptical587]

@turkeyman Rough them up huh? I don't agree with that. My dog is my compadre, and I would never lay a hand on him like that. There is time for appropriate correction, but my dog does not fear me. He loves and respects me.. people hit their dogs out of frustration in Last Resort because they can't control them, but if they would have trained them properly from the beginning they would not be in that situation. People think they're going to get this cute little dog and it's just going to be a great dog without proper training. There are no bad dogs only bad owners.

At first I disagreed with your method too but I've been around dog training quite a bit I've done some studying watching the canine unit in Las Vegas Nevada I've seen a lot harsh training that did not get the results that you get. the way I'm reading you. is your proving to them they're not the boss and you are the "" leader of the pack "" which in turn is what their owner needs to learn how to do with your help and keep up the great work. dog Daddy I think you're awesome. I know I'll never get to meet you but you definitely got my vote. !!! I know from working with horses on ranches and rodeos and stuff people don't believe it but a horse can feel a fly land on their skin Then they can feel my emotions on the reins that has me in control of my horse if I'm in a bad mood they know it. if I'm in a good mood we have an awesome ride to me this is almost the same as training the dogs a person has to learn just how to read these animals not abuse them....

No feeding the dog anything, no treats, no walking the dog at all, we do it all ourselves to minimise the Chaos. Ive never known an adult would behave that way. Before, the dog had many surprise accidents in the house. At the times to be taking the dog out for pee pee, he repeat, " But the dog doesnt even want to go out, you re wrong! !" Pretends dog is being a nuisance wanting something else. Then the dog gets treats from adult child, then we have pee on the floor and adult child is thrilled about the mess, the commotion, the disruption. Its better now for adult child to have none to very minimal involvement with anything dog related in the home. Now, no more accidents in the home and dog is much happier. 😊

[@rustyhowe3907]

Especially diversifying tools! I had plenty of very sweet and gentle dogs that did brilliantly with positive only, however with a working dog or guarding dog breed and it becomes much more needed with correction. All depends on the individual animal. We have a nearly 5 month old poodle mix, very sweet girl and the same people who say she's wonderfully behaved in the same breath will tell me I'm a big old meanie for not furbabying her in treatment...while their dogs drag-race them up the pavement and lunge snapping at anything that wriggles.

Dogs pay attention to food, praise and play, to someone mentally firm and in control - as much as they pay attention to brutal jerks, actually more and they are in a better head space to learn. In this way you do not harm trust and bond, the dog does not become fearful to make their own (well trained) decisions by stringing together knowledge. So much more. Put a prong on your knock right behind the soft spot of the ear and have someone who is violent and careless tug it with intent to get your attention.

Sadly, you're so right. However, the word euthanasia needs to be changed so what happens to those dogs doesn't sound so mild. Those dogs die horrible deaths in gas chambers.

I just found you and started watching your videos. I’ve also seen how you seem to really have some people who like to hate, that are really out for you! What people do not understand is that without guidance, redirection and showing them who is in control, that’s what’s causes dogs who have aggressive behavior or anxieties in general. Same concept with raising a child, you don’t need to treat them badly, but you need to guide them in the right direction, in order to flourish and be completely and truly happy and successful! All of which is something to be proud of. Before the sensitive Karen’s jump in, no I’m not comparing dogs and kids but it’s still the same *concept.* love and care rules all.

[@Ziplomatic007]

You seem to have a perfect understanding of dog psychology. Allowing a dog to lead themselves and be independent actually causes them to react with stress. Dogs are born to seek the alpha, and when no one around them exhibits alpha traits, they assume the role of alpha. Dogs are happy, content, and at peace to follow their owners once their owners have trained the dog to respect them as the alpha in the relationship. A stressed out, angry animal is a sign of a dog that doesn't know who to follow.

Anyone who is foolish enough to question this young man's training or integrity should take into consideration that dogs are almost always better judges of character, than people are. He has a something special about him that the dogs respond to and respect. After watching many of his videos, I have a better relationship with my dogs and I thank him for that.

Dog are pack animals & if their leader (the human) does not show leadership, the dog will misbehave & either show fear or dominance. Dog Daddy's quick training session show these dogs that he is the leader & shows the owners how to convey that to the dog also. Most dogs are happy to let their owners take that lead. It's great to see so many dogs thriving after a training session. Not cowering in fear. The results really speak for themselves.

[@jessicabradshaw3365]

I love that you’re showing us the nuts and bolts plus the philosophy behind what you do that obviously works so well. The only suggestion I could make is please work on your audio so the background noise doesn’t interfere with what you’re saying. Great video as always!!!💯🐾

[@jamesjimdarnell5942]

Yes l love this format. But I also liked the 1 minute videos with the print which would go by soooooo fast it was hard to keep up with the film and the words. Other than that you are great love your work thank you for what you dooooo

[@tammybaldwin8366]

Thank you so much!!! I have a 7 months old rescue mongrel puppy & he's been on a flat collar. He minds me (more often than not) when were alone, but as soon as someone else or another dog comes around he is oblivious to what I say or do. I now understand why I need & more importantly how to use a prong collar. Getting one right away. Thank you Dog Daddy - PLEASE COME TO TAMPA, FLORIDA

[@AozaVerba]

Very heartwarming seeing these dogs disciplined at the end of the session.. kudos once again @dogdaddy

[@father3566]

You have done more then any other person who tried to teach how to handle dogs. I have had dogs for 30 years and love watching you really and truly help.

[@melissapeters9820]

This is absolutely AMAZING 👏🏾 Thank you sooo much for your genuine care and also explaining every method, tool, reasons, etc..and most importantly, thanks so much for sharing this with us!!💕 There are TONS of people out there whose lives are truly taken over to the fullest by their dog.. and that's traumatizing for both owners and dogs..and thru no fault of the owner or dog, but just a lack of knowledge, proper tools and methods, and someone to teach them all about it.. I'm certain you have absolutely literally SAVED tons of dogs lives from being put down, and SAVED tons of owners from giving up or losing their mind and making bad choices!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks again I love everything about this❤ You are helping people and dogs every day to better their daily lives, while saving lives, and that's just an amazing calling that you have Sir..BRAVO 💯

[@crystal6811]

This is the kind of training videos I need to help me with my Rottweiler. The one minute videos were very frustrating cuz I could see the difference but didn't know how you got there. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope I can tell you soon how much better he is doing.

[@ricksalinas1137]

Your awesome my brother. Love the way you explain what the dog is doing and what we as owners should do to be a better dog owner.

[@oneluckygirlandherdog]

This is so exciting to see you do dog daddy. you've come so far and it's exciting to see you settling in to such a responsible informative professional. Thanks for taking the time to do this video!

[@JeffChapa]

Towards the last two minutes of the video I was in tears 😭 it was such a beautiful transformation ❤️ Thanks Dog Daddy!!!

[@tenareif1013]

It’s all about consistency, which the DD has mastered perfectly. Thank you for saving all these lives, as that’s the end result. 🎉🎉🎉

[@nottubular]

Establishing boundaries and setting standards instill confidence and trust in both animals and people. Amazing training! Keep up the awesome 👏🏼 skills and teaching methods. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing them!

[@Pipsterz]

18:03 DD identifies & corrects quickly: Lack of consistent 'discipline' together with 'enabled/positive reinforcement' (same happens when spoiling children). He states, "This part is going to be *_extremely important!_* Awsome. Thanks much DD.

[@rdwilander]

You can see the results almost immediately with the dogs behavior moving quickly to a calm submissive state of mind. They have moved from a "war zone" state of mind to one of trust and following because of the clear direction TDD provides. Amazing to watch the transformation.

[@starfishw7138]

The understanding every dog has been waiting for

[@crystalclear7329]

DD, you are helping to make a more peaceful and quiet world with what you are doing with the dogs. Thank you love. We appreciate this very much. ❤❤❤

[@deniseladyhawke8379]

Oh my gosh dog daddy I’ve been watching you for quite a long time. I haven’t subscribed to you on Instagram you’re amazing. What you did here was perfect absolutely 100% perfect by explaining step-by-step. What you do why are you do it? How and why you do have certain tools that you use. Understanding these beautiful beautiful babies and their owners. You are remarkable, really amazing. And when all the dogs were walking together, that was a moment in time that should be a beautiful picture in everyone’s mind. You are so fantastic and we are so blessed to have you in our lifetimes. You are saving lives, saving broken hearts. And I believe the most important thing is you are saving a lot of animals from being euthanized. Your methods and your tools are absolutely the best of the best, not to mention your calm, beautiful, energy, and vibration, these animals can resonate with you. You’re the perfect one to train them. Thank you for your service. Thank you for all you do thank you for saving lives and thank you for helping these beautiful owners get there beautiful fur babies trained under control and can have a beautiful beautiful life. God bless you.❤❤❤

[@Dantes38]

Always enjoy seeing just how much more relaxed and happier the dog becomes. Owners smiles says it all too.

[@AprilCunningham]

The pattern of over reactive dogs in their harnesses is priceless and soooo telling!! Along with owners who do not know any better. That is until NOW great job!!!!

[@viciouslady1340]

I never seen a German Shepherd on a harness

[@barbaramorgan633]

What a gift! U not only change the dogs life u change a whole household Bless u for the Outstanding work u are doing

[@mariannedekock7996]

Mr. Dog Daddy, you are an amazing dog trainer and dog handler. Well done, and keep up the good work with our fury friends ❤ Blessings always South Africa 🇿🇦

[@NELSONandWIGGLES]

Love it that Dog Daddy stated & empathized that prong collars are just to be used as a tool when training & only when needed.

[@lynetteburton1905]

Your voice, in the calmness that you have with the dogs it's very encouraging for those of us who haven't quite gotten there yet so each time when I look at your videos I would always be assuming now will you actually speaking I know what's needed to be done thank you Augusto! YOUR ABILITY TO SET MATTERS STRAIGHT ALLOWS US TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

[@sweezy7455]

I wish Dog Daddy was around 20-25 years ago when I had a German Shepard. Her name was Cheyanne and she was a great dog. She was super protective but her protectiveness went to far sometimes and she sometimes was pretty dangerous around strangers. I remember one time me and my mom were walking her and a guy passed us on the sidewalk and she tried to lunge and bite the guy on the face. Several time I had friends over and just us wrestling around would get the dog to the point where she would want to attack my friends. We ended up giving her away because her protectiveness really started to get outta control. I miss that dog and wish she would have gotten the proper training she deserved. Rip Cheyanne.

[@charitycollins7172]

I had very similar situation I lost my dog of 22 years last year to old age we got him from a shelter and he had been abused by a colored lady they didn't say whether she was black or Indian or just dark-skinned so colored to him different from a white person so every time he would see a person with dark skin he would bark at him or try to snap at him and it took forever till he had no teeth I guess you could say to get him to stop he was blind and no teeth when he finally quit doing it no matter what we did we couldn't get him to until then so yeah I wish we had had the proper training for him

[@motucker44]

That was Cesar Milan era. They even had a TV show.

[@reenieager4243]

Your understanding and insight and skills and experience and all your knowledge is sheer joy to see, as is tge relief of the dogs to have someone to really understand them. How you explain their situation to the owners is such a lovely thing to see and hear. You really are dedicated and caring towards these lovely but misguided dogs and owners. That you so much for being you and the amazing things you do with such modesty and care. What a wonderful example to other young people as well. Thank you for everything you do.

[@sissylebud1358]

I love your training methods and that you share them with us. It is so impressive how quickly you get misunderstood dogs under control. Your training methods are saving those dogs and owners from lives of stress and worry and misery. I am trying to use them to help my tenant’s black, 4 year old German Shepherd. I am hoping you have a training closer to Santa Rosa, California that I can bring her to. This video is especially great because you work with so many dogs and owners and you give great detail on your methods. Thank you Augusto. ❤

[@dianebrandenberger7578]

Thank you for explaining every step and purpose in the process. You are absolutely the BEST! I appreciate your explanations of the dog's behaviors & responses. Your training promotes mutual respect insuring feelings of safety and security for both the dog and owner. Thank you!!!

[@treab11]

Thank you for this video - through listening to your in-depth explanation of your various techniques and through watching you in action with the dogs and their owners I can really appreciate your love and genuine care for them 🐕 Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Shellnbaby]

With the guidance and training of a dog trainer I used a prong to establish leash pressure with my boxer/cattle dog mix when she was around 7 months old. She was a crazy puller and felt like she would injure me and herself. After we established that we switched to a gentle leader and now at 2 years old we are on a flat collar. The gentle leader is the most hated by her and she instantly falls in line when I put it on her, so I keep it in my pocket just incase she has a moment of regression. I'd say if you love your dog, try these tools and see what your dog responds to with the help of a trainer. My 10 month old great Pyrenees/Border Collie however was the easiest dog to train on the leash ever. Every dog is different!

[@wedjr97]

Wish I’d seen his videos before we got our mutt puppy. I had only trained Irish Wolfhounds (who have their own language) but once we learn it, they’ll do anything you ask. But our dog now is maybe 1/2 trained - which is dangerous, and I’ve had a really hard time understanding her brain! She speaks something very different than Wolfhound. I do realize that he’s showing me the way to communicate with this newer family member- just wish I’d seen it sooner.

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

He is training the owners just as much as he is training the dog. Lots of owners don't realize that if you don't control your dog, you are hurting your dog. Once you gain control and demand what the expectations are, the dogs absolutely love it. They want to follow, they want to please you, and they will be so much happier, calm, much less anxiety, they know exactly what is going to happen etc.. The whole key is how you communicate that to the dog in a way they will respond to it. Thanks for what you do Dog Daddy, it is needed so much.

[@lightseeker2242]

I'm impressed with your communication with the dogs. Your timing is perfect and your understanding of the dogs is what everyone needs to learn. Nice!!

[@lidanaude8022]

There is but one dog daddy! God really gave you a gift and now you are sharing this with others..helping them to understand their dogs. I whatch this channel all the time and even subscribed..but I do not even own a dog..lol It is so fascinating to me the way you read the dogs body language. One can tell you truly love dogs. Much h love DD!

[@Redfiregtag]

It's interesting how quickly a dog's temperament changes when it finds an alpha.

[@olympiaelda1121]

He explicitly says its not for dominating the dog....

[@Cheri434]

@@olympiaelda1121alphas don’t automatically dominate. A true alpha in a pack is the decision maker. These dogs need an alpha in that sense, and it to be communicated to them in a way they understand

[@MatoNupai]

EXACTLY THE POINT! The dog MUST accept the human being as the ALPHA DOG.

[@zuzanasamman8702]

Not enough words of praise for your work...i swear, this is absolutely mind-blowing. And yes, u can actually see the dogs being relieved,and responsive, getting the guidance and clear commands and communications.. God bless❤❤❤

[@SharonNagle-zy9tt]

It is so refreshing to see a TRAINER training dogs! Being dogs are pack animals, you HAVE to be the pack-leader, period. I was taught to train the same way, and have saved dogs slated to be put down, all because of poor "training". Thankyou for showing how it SHOULD be done!!!

[@alicemarie3506]

You're a natural! It's very important for dog owners to understand what it takes for humans and dogs to live together. You show them how. I'm sure you stop many owners from giving up on their dogs and being rehomed or worse. Keep up the great work.

[@themasterinshorts]

This is awesome! I have a Belgian Malinois that needs more correction like the one you have demonstrated here… Whenever I walked him on the street and a motorcycle are passing through, it shows some aggression…

[@miha456]

considering the factors and the distractions around , this is unbelievable sight . he turned 6 crazy dogs into obedient ones in a session. props to you the dog daddy , amazing work !

[@suebrown7882]

Excellent video - desperate dogs and owners are helped to transform their lives. Years ago here in the UK the first professional dog trainer (Barbara Woodhouse) said that dogs should be 'a pleasure to their owner, and a nuisance to no-one' - and that is what you prove can be done. My father was a German shepherd obedience instructor for many years and he used similar methods - he would have thoroughly approved of your way of approach. Well done!

[@vmarshy1]

I love watching you help others with their fur babies

[@KC-gj4bi]

I love how all the dogs are sitting quietly together in a line at the end of their training 😂 Well Done ! 👍

[@psycherevival2762]

I started using a prong caller with my dog a couple years ago because she became leash reactive after being attacked. I only entertained prong collar use after getting educated by upstate Canine Academy‘s videos. Now I think of it like a dominant dog putting mouth pressure on another dog to say “stop effing around!” It helps me assert the position of the pack leader and that has helped my dog relax because she trusts that I’m in charge, and she’s no longer leash reactive. Amazing. Loving your technique and clear communication style Augusto.

[@Nickelbippy]

If I had only known these things 50 years ago! As a 13 year old I trained a collie for obedience, but dog psychology was unknown. I had no hesitation firmly correcting dogs, but no idea how to do it properly. I really could have helped my dogs and possibly others too. Thank you for sharing your incredible methods, I'm 100% a believer!

[@belindahawkins4083]

I'm sorry there r ppl who hate on u Augusto They may feel threaten bc they are not intuned to the animal enough to be able to train them But your voice tell the beloved animal and owner your sincerity And that cannot be feigned This is at the heart of the haters to u on training dogs Sincerity A gift from God

[@SA-ud9nf]

Dog daddy is actually very handsome without his glasses. Beautiful eyes and humble face. Above all it's his heart that shines. His looks aren't about his job but I just wanted to throw that one in for grins. I compliment everyone and it doesn't mean I want them. I just see the gifts of others.

[@pragavirtual]

Amazing results and briliant methodology. The dogs seems so happy that they finally know what to do and how to behave, and not everyone are theyr enemies.
