Yes but in South Africa most people know what to expect with a Boerboel. How to handle them. What is wrong here is an American who didn't properly socialize the dog as ANY guard type dog has to be properly socialized to avoid problems............... More than likely the guy thought this breed is docile/easy to handle like the plodding overtimes obese not necessarily muscular mastiff breeds - bull / english / neo mastiff - far more typical of American households.

never seen a boerboel as a gentle giant. I've seen a couple of them very calm until it's time to not be calm. And will allow A LOT when on a walk. But never a gentle giant.

I really regretted my Boerboel's tail not being docked but I suppose it's because he came from an accidental pregnancy and the owners did not have the experience or forethought to do the right thing. Some suffering could have been avoided/mitigated but I suppose my Boerboel and I got by ok anyway.

[@aSweetDisaster77]

This really hit home. Great to see this type of lesson. I am suspicious that the 4year old rescue I got a year ago, did not get the stimuli during his fear period. His fear period seems to have lasted and he barks, lunges, and has bitten people. Since going through a board and train program he can chill out when I meet people outside on the leash but still cannot be a "happy dog" around strangers. It is nothing but CONTROL like you said, Joel. Trying hard to stay positive that I can help this dog get over this issue.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

At 4 years (probably 5 by now) the dog has fully developed their personality. You might never be able to change the fact that the dog is not comfortable around strangers. But as long as you set boundaries on acceptable behavior, it's fine if he never is "happy" around strangers. As long as he doesn't bark, lunge, and bite them.

I have a large guardian breed, not a Boerbel, who is 4 months old and I take him out in public every single day, wether I need to or not. We go to Home Depot, Starbucks, etc, just so he can see and interact with people daily. I also send him to puppy daycare twice a week, to socialize with other dogs. We're going to obedience class once a week on top of that. Did the same with my past dog, who is a German Shepherd and is now 7 years old. We also have a 4 years old Pyrenee. I'm a 5'1 female and mom to a 7 years old little girl and just couldn't afford to have a dog who would be stronger than me and not respecting me. I wanted a protector and friend, not a liability. It's a lot of work, but it's a small price to pay to have a lifelong, well adjusted friend. I can bring my dogs everywhere with us and they are happy, confident animals and a joy to have around. I wouldn't recommend trying to break in my house, but if I say someone is invited, I never have a problem. Except this one dude whom my shepherd couldn't stand. I didn't like him either... byebye

I think people should start with the 2 foot leash before going with a 6 footer. He was attentive but before he can do anyhting the dog dog had already took a whole step forward. Even when my rotty disobeyed on a 6 ft leash or while offleash, I resumed the walk back on the short one as a punishment, gives the dog pretty much no freedom to go anywhere at that point

[@jesses5463]

I hate the way he holds the leash. At times he holds it with like 2 fingers. If the dog wants to go, the dogs going to go and there isn't a thing the guy will be able to do to stop him just because of the way he holds that little leash.

I have an 8 month old gsd and I from what I can gather from a couple videos is that he is also starting his fear period. He was doing really well with listening and greeting new people but now his behavior has gotten a little excessive. He’s bagan barking at neighbors and people he’s known for months and sees quite a bit every week even if they don’t continuously greet him. And he’s began to kinda rebel and ignore commands. He’s never really been food motivated so his treats don’t work to get his attention either. These videos are really helping with what steps I should take and I’m debating signing up for a lesson :) P.s.: I just found this channel about week ago and I really love the amount I learn from every single video👌

I knew this one guy who let his gsd hold the paper when he went out to buy it all the way back home (but dont let him guard the paper, he should release when asked to). Cesar Millan did this thing with junior where he hid his favorite toy. Make it a job by connecting a command to it (and ofc a reward). Typically a gsd will even be happy when asked to lay down and stay (staying is the job). You could put out treats and elongate the time he needs to stay before releasing the dog to the treat. ANYTHING could be a job (they dont know). Laying a treat on top of its head and holding still (and the process of teaching him to hold still) could be a job. It's like if you work and you never get any result of it, you'ld get bored. The dog is happy with every result (treat, his favorite toy). Sometimes people will say: ooh just let him have it.

[@thedogfather1204]

[@Noel_Maymes]

TL;DR: I realize that I need this because my OP is to long. I watched your age apropriateness video and you say that training should be focused around 7+ months as younger puppies can't really process info before that age. I have a 6 months old corgi pup who used to be an INSANE puller (he basically breathes heavily, chokes himself and was often on his hindlegs). I introduced a softer version of your leash pop as a transition method and it's been better ( it's more of a pull than a pop yet). When can or should I commit to the pop method? When is the "knock it off" moment on the leash? Is he still to young to work on that or should I have started earlier? OP: Hey Joel! Haven't watched this video yet, but I'm digging through all the material you've been sharing on youtube and I'm mostly looking for leash reactivity/pulling etc. I'm a pro positive reinforcement kind of person and started with Zak George Videos, and you have been suggested to me, so I started looking at your content. I like Zak a lot, even though lately, hid content is mostly about clickbait and becoming reality TV show. I try to look at all the 'major schools' of dog training and want to give each and every ideology a chance and see what I can learn or use from a specific school. I have a Corgi pup who's 6 months old now and I have quickly npticed that positive reinforcement only gets you so far, especially with a dog that is not particularly food driven. I'm going to try to keep it short, otherwise this will be a bible. I saw your video on age appropriateness. You say that 8-14 weeks is basically bonding and potty. At 14 weeks to 7 months you say it's mostly about satiating yor pup to reduce nipping, jumping etc. You then follow up on saying that 7 months to a year is the best period to train the dog. You say that before that they're still babies and can't really process information and learn as well. Does that mean that I should not insist too much on the leash pulling yet? Currently what I used to do is stop walking when he pulls on the leash and wait for him to calm down and look at me before moving on. Also, as soon as he is released, he tends to go right back to pulling. Doing that means that I sometimes need 1h to walk around my block becaude he really doesn't give up on the pulling, no matter if I reinforce looking at me with treats. He'll only start giving in roughly 30min in where he'll give me more attenton and be better. Is it to soon to start the leash pop method? I am not yet fully committed to the method because I don't want to potentially scare him of the leash, he seems to be generally hesitsnt of the collar because often times he pulls so much, he basically chokes himself. So what I started doing now as a "transition method" is that when he's about to leave me, I go one step back right before he reaches the end of the leash. It ends up being more of a pullback than a real pop to the leash for him. He pulls a lot less generally but he still doesn't really pay attention to me yet, he tends to still not look at me and go back to where he wants to go, but he pulls a lot less. I got a loose leash about 60% of the time and tense leashes 35% of the time and the occasional fully tense leash with my dog on his hind legs trying to go where he wants. Should I fully commit to the leash pop, or should I wait for a specific age? The reason I am willing to use this type of correction is that I feel like it's going to be actually less punishing and hurtful for my dog to get the occasional pop and get better on leash, than to let him choke himself constantly by trying to make him stop through positive reinforcement. This was very long, and I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find anything saying when you should start the leash pop method and why. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

[@AllGravy1980]

They can be tall or shorter. Mine is that tall.

A neighbor down the street had a dingo looking dog and no fence but he would put it on a cable run in the day and left it in the house at night. The dog was 2 and the kid is 14 with ash burg and he won’t talk to people hardly. The guy next door to him was burning some brush and the smoke was coming in his house so whe the guy left the boy went and was putting it out with water hose but the guy pulled in and the two of them got into it. Well when the cops got there they cuffed the boy because the guy guy told them he hit him in his he’d with a 2by4 . The boy was hollering and cussing the cops but when the boys girlfriend open the door the dog ran for it and was taking up for the boy and it bit the cops arm but didn’t break the skin and the cop shot him.(for doing his job)

lol im so confused they said he didnt have a muzzle big enough and suddenly he has a muzzle on

[@koopspook]

bruh they went out and got one,..... then continued the video...............................

[@hiramhaji7813]

I just don’t personally like people who are not going to be in the immediate circle of any dogs life should be feeding them. This is how your dog will end up dead if someone was to really want in your home

[@OptimusPrime-dz9md]

I mean great video and please give updates but damn looks like this is where your threshold is. Usually you take the lead and pop collars and take control but you were afraid of this dog. I was just thinking yesterday I want to see him work a massive dominant dog but I guess this is all that can be done with a dog this massive? I will follow along and see how things develop but seems you got to take things slower when its a dog and is so potentially dangerous.

[@OptimusPrime-dz9md]

@Pigeonsandpoultry great insight

[@stasn3715]

Funny how poeple pronounce the breed in wrong way. It is actually boerboel (boorbull - boer means the farmer in Dutch) but besides that very interesting video with some good points.

[@stasn3715]

@Pigeonsandpoultry also the same story with cane corso 😂

[@EdgarFroes]

I missed the new intro. It's way cooler.

Not a first time dog owner breed not even a first time big dog owner breed

I adopted a border collie cross staffy who is eight months old. And she barks at everyone she sees apart from me. She runs towards them barks and growls then turns direction to hide behind me. Watching you talk about the fear period is making me think that's maybe that's what's going on with her

[@Dante-vf4sd]

How can it run toward them if it's leashed?

[@michelewood925]

Mine does the same. Border collie aussie. Turns out she’s resource guarding me.

[@Yeoman7]

Not really a good city dog, this dog needs some turf to protect

[@charliesmith_]

Owner seems too shy to up banter with a woman. But with a guy he goes up a notch. It's the owner who's baing trained. Who forgot the muzzle etc. Am dealing with training owner RIGHT NOW. Its all in there.

[@absolutelyfookinnobody2843]

Only 120 damn I thought those dogs got up to 200... it was probably just internet fluff

[@58gnr]

This is a puppy, he needs to choke up on that loose leash. Wait till he is 18 months old...175+ lbs....
