Dog playing in front of that cage was HUGE progress.

[@petereleftheriou9668]

Someone with the guts to show what behaviour modification with a dog that is displaying aggression, not fear aggression but aggression, looks like. Roger Abrantees highlights that in his opinion there is no such thing as fear aggression. Rather a fear or arousal that then causes aggression. Once the decision to use aggression has been made fearfulness falls away. You have shown this dog that the use of his aggression was a mistake, and proof is in the pudding, I do not see a shut down, depressed dog, but one who will be more likely to make a better choice in future. He didn’t love it, but for punishment to be effective it’s not supposed to be pleasant. Well done.

[@DC-xv5po]

I do not know who that is, but if he said that there is no fear aggression in a dog... o boy is he wrong. Of course, it's not the case for this dog. But I could invite him to join a training session, I can even say a rehabilitation session with a dog or two over here in my country. When animals get mistreated, they can develop a fear agrression. When a dog tries to bite you and yells and hides and tucks up his tail and backs up in the same time, without you doing nothing to him other than just trying to approach him, well that dog shows fear aggression. There is no "no more fear", there is only fear for him and looking for a way out. There's a big difference between a dog trying to bite because he is unsecured of fhe situation and does not know how and what to do in that situation, him obviously making a bad decision, and a dog that tries to show his teeth and will eventually bite out of fear because that could possible saves his life. Of course, I'm talking about some bad cases, but if this Roger said that, I'm sure he didn't trained too many adopted dogs.

[@petereleftheriou9668]

@@DC-xv5po it comes down to exactly what you said. In a moment of fear we have several systems we can employ to keep ourselves safe. The two most common are fight or flight. The behaviour you describe in your example is the threat of aggression coupled with the dog actually trying to get away, based on the body language you described (tucked tail, air snapping etc) The cause of the behaviour is 100% fear, no arguments here, but the second a decision is made to use actual aggression, approach behaviour with the intent of harm there can no longer be fear, it is counter intuitive. That being said the animal can very quickly go back into avoidant or defensive aggression if that option becomes available to it again. In this video we see a dog using a well rehearsed strategy, it may stem from an initial over arousal or fearful response but due to reinforcement history the dog now feels confident in the behaviour. This is why CC(counter conditioning) or DS (desensitisation) would not be ideal strategies in dealing with the behaviour. We need to acknowledge the differences between ritualised (threat of aggression) and actual aggression (intent to due physical damage). This is my understanding of what Dr Roger abrantes talks about in his work, I may be misunderstanding. Quite a lot of what we know about dog training has come from his studies and work. Worth checking out. www.seasidesignal.com/opinion/canine-corner/canine-corner-fear-does-not-equal-aggression-in-dogs/article_3ababac2-a7cd-11e9-abc3-cfb164dd8268.html

[@DC-xv5po]

@@petereleftheriou9668 You are talking about a dog that will bite with the intention to harm. Dogs that are fear aggressive will only bite out of either pure instinct, or learned behaviour (that if he bites, he will get away from the threat). A dog has to be teached/trained what can be harmful and what not. He is not trying to kill a person, he will atack just to get a chance to get away. Yes it's a system, but this doens't mean it's no longer fear, cause that would mean that the dog will go into anger and try to actually do harm. We can't say that a dog is aggressive if he just doens't try to flight and expose himself as a victim. That wouldn't even be a dog in my oppinion. These dogs that I'm talking about, after someone will win their trust, they will be best doggos in the world, just for that someone, nobody else. And they can be teached how to be indifferent to other people or whatever started their reactivity. Just because some dogs get a bad start with their lives, doens't mean they're aggressive or broken or bullies or killers. Again, I'm just talking about some, not the one from this video.

Really good content here, haz! Its so helpful to see the exact moment a correction is needed.

[@CUPCAKESUGARPIE]

Absolutely GORGEOUS shepherd😍🐾🐾 So wonderful to see him transition from hyper focused dog aggressive with proper experienced redirection guidance🐾🐾 Sooo many wonderful working dogs don’t receive proper transition training, it’s absolutely wonderful to see him learning it’s okay. Everybody wins with a properly socialized dog. Kudos to yall for helping the dogs♥️🐾🐾♥️

[@rdwilander]

Timing, timing, enthusiastic praise.....starting right with the door. I get why people struggle a bit with exact timing but nots why they are so hesitant in giving enthusiastic praise. Great video, interesting to see a GSD that needed to "learn" to play with the ball after videos of Haz's dogs where the ball is almost "everything"

[@1packatak]

Some dogs cannot handle enthusiastic praise. They take a bit more time to “get it”. Once they settle in then you can amp it up.

Nice work. this is so much better than Beckman’s method of turning his Doberman out with an aggressive dog. That feels so brutal to me and even dangerous.

[@breakfastbat]

I watched a couple dozen of Beckman's videos, got the sense that he doesn't do anything more serious than pet dog training. He's alright, but in this day and age with skilled competition trainers giving free lessons here, why bother watching a mediocre one (imho).

Fantastic content as always. I noticed the position of the prong collar a bit lower on the neck than what most trainers teach; can you please elaborate or make a short video about whats the pros and cons of positioning the prong collar higher or lower on the neck.

[@colajacks571]

Watch his loose leash walking video. He says for most dogs, he finds if you do it right, it doesn't matter if it sits lower. Obviously you don't want it way down by the chest or loosely hanging, but right behind the ears doesn't make much of a difference as long as you know how to apply the correction.

[@KadooInsan]

@@colajacks571 Cheers.. will go through the video right away

[@riekaakier1526]

I think training dogs that don't have the 'will of please' is more difficult. But I believe respecting the leash and following the handler is the ticket for any reactive dog to learn to behave well.

Hello, I really need some help, I left my dog at a pet resort for 3 weeks, a black german shepherd 3 years old, had him since he was a baby, i get a called from the owner saying she got bite pretty bad, she said can't take the dog no more, when I went to get him, he didn't know who I was, he wanted to attack me and bite me once, animal control took him...I only have 3 days to pick him up or else they will put him down... I don't know what to do my whole family is devastated, I called a few places but they won't take him, they even told he could have a brain tumor and lost his mind, any advice??? Thank you

[@philmilligan7666]

Pretty mild case of reactivity IMO if a prong + timely corrections can fix it.

[@tammykuczek2295]

I’m curious. I can’t see it very well but does the dog have a prong collar on? If so, I’ve always been told to keep it up high on the neck behind the ears. Is that not necessary? I enjoy your videos very much.

[@electric1609]

Is it accurate to call him "aggressive" in the title then? Seems more of a barrier frustrated/bratty dog

[@brucehogan1218]

The prong is a great tool and seemed to work in this situation. However, it is far too common that the prong or E collar can make the problem worse! A slip lead or dominate dog collar would be the best!

[@oui2826]

I mean... Doesn't that come naturally for anyone who dedicates a bit of brain cells to his dog ? The owner was so boring. Like you actually needed to tell him to praise his dog when he was doing the right thing. Dog is reactive to dogs, doesnt even know how to play. Like what did you do with your dog ? Left him in the yard alone ?

[@skythedogtrainer]

"Bribery not required" Ah only suppression. If you knew what you were talking about you would understand operant conditioning and that punishment solely suppresses behaviour so the dog isn't actually learning anything. Remove the punisher and the behaviour returns, these are laws of psychology not opinions like what you'll experience with trainers like this. Go get an education before training dogs.

[@SoundDr]

Let me know when you start selling 100k dollar dogs to police departments. The dog learns that certain behaviors gets punishment and certain behaviors get him awarded. The dog is extremely reliable even without tools because the dog knows the handler could also punish him with his body and without tools which keeps the dog from doing those behaviors.

[@skythedogtrainer]

@@SoundDr I literally get failed dogs from this guy on a monthly basis so not only do I know how he trains but also what these dogs look like months afterwards 😂 He’s over an hour away from me so the fact that he’s in the top three trainers that I get failed dogs from 😂 That says enough 😂
