Socialising our aggressive dog to our puppy

[@sirchsirch9949]

Not boring at all! Just what I need to learn before bringing home my pup. I agree some dogs never get over their interdog aggression.

[@TracvM320]

The end of the video makes up for the fact that all the text reading was super distracting to what the dogs were doing. The pose with all the dogs is priceless. Neptune is gorgeous. Something constructive...maybe if you do another video you could speak thru some of it. I do admire your love and patience (and the big room they all play in looks like doggie paradise:))

Thank you for posting this. I am struggling with my bf dog and our new puppy. This is very helpful as i see some of the mistakes I've been making. Mostly introducing them too fast and punishing aggression more than rewarding interaction.

[@christine9467]

Exactly this is how we started out. My dog was snapping at the pup and I was popping him for it. Not good. Now I’m just going to reward w treats and make it a happy time for them.

[@ArmorOfFaith]

I am going to try this method more (and be more patient) We just got a puppy yesterday and I've been feeling rather depressed because my dog doesn't like him, we have another adult dog but he's already gotten along with him. My dog was in a similar situation, when we got her as a pup a couple of years ago, she had Ticks, For months I had to keep her in my room and separate her from the other dogs we had and because of that, she wasn't properly socialized (not my fault) so she is very afraid of dogs and people - she also had a traumatic experience when she got spayed, the people there treated her terribly. So I know it might take weeks if not months for her to feel comfortable around this puppy. I need all the encouragement I can get.

Make it suck for your dog to be mean.. Look up correction technique

[@freebirdofparadise]

This makes me feel much more confident about our puppy and sensitive rescue dog. The pup is 16weeks standard poodle. The older dogs in the house are small dogs. So I’ve been doing this for a few weeks and and not letting puppy have total contact with them. She overwhelms them. But I started letting doubt about it creep in. Feeling very judge mental towards my self thinking I’m overboard with my behavioral or emotional needs of dog concerns. I haven’t met a pet owner like me. People give me the “your crazy” vibe when I discuss conditioning and counter conditioning. But I’ve seen the red flags and I don’t think all dogs can just be left to “work it out”. Thank you for posting this, I feel I can take the “clock, calendar and vibes” out of the picture and stick to what the doggos are exhibiting and move at their needed pace not my agenda. ❤️

I think my only issue is that you have to use the other dogs as a buffer constantly and you recall her when she's too close. Adult dogs are meant to correct behaviors for puppies so if he nips when she gets to close it teachs her to respect the other dogs boundaries. They have to learn that from other dogs, not from humans. I have a Golden mix who is fear aggressive, everything scares him so he barks and lunges but then hides. He is afraid of other dogs and he plays too rough. I simply let my older dog handle that and any time he got too rough, she nipped him or wrestled him down and dominated him, licked him in the face and walked off. He now plays well with other dogs, respecting their boundaries without a fear response. Sometimes humans shouldn't completely interfere with nature in that way.

[@dawespawsdogtraining9082]

He is dog aggressive, he wouldn't just nip he would do serious damage!

[@andybeks497]

@@dawespawsdogtraining9082 I think you missed last part .. He is dog friendly just doesn't want dogs in his space .. I see this everyday at dog daycare and I see dog aggression at the shelter .. Leave that dog your training by itself with another dog and will eventually revert to old ways.. Corrections techniques will have a bigger effect

[@poxolatee]

I hope this helps me. We just recently had to take a new dog (4 months old Labrador) because he was heavily abandoned by a.... complicated relative. We were the only ones willing to do it, but we have a 5 year old dog, small breed, who doesn’t get along with other dogs EVER. He hates the puppy right now and we are scared of trying to socialize them because of the sheer difference in sizes. But we need to, cause they keep barking at each other and making daily life a nightmare for the neighbourhood

[@freebirdofparadise]

I’m in the same boat right now. Did it work out? I’m trying to accept that it could be a very long time of management and counter conditioning. It saddens me they are on such different wave lengths and can’t full on play with each other without scaring the older smaller dog. He loves to play, but puppy scares him into being reactive. And rightfully so, puppy is huge, pouncy and needs lots of her own settling and conditioning calmness around excitable stimuli. 🙏

[@saragivens2361]

This was super helpful! My 6 year old border collie is puppy aggressive and we just got a new golden retriever pup. She has a lot of energy and we have had several close calls between the two of them, but I’m going to try some of this out. Thanks!!

[@PJ-oo6np]

Hey my 6 year old dog barks at my new pup. Idk what do. Let me know please how ur dogs are are now after 3 years thanks. I would love if u saw this and replied lol.

[@saragivens2361]

@@PJ-oo6np They live in separate households now since the golden is my parents dog, but when they get together, my border collie will still growl to show boundaries and the golden learned to be very submissive around him and just lick his face. They honestly just figured it out amongst themselves under our supervision always in case the border collie gets too annoyed. But now, the golden is far bigger than the border collie so he realizes all he can really do now is growl, he is probably less than half her size.

[@sarahmaurer1630]

My problem is my dog Hates being around other dogs when she is on a leash. Our second dog doesn't care but every time she is on a leash and has met another dog on a leash they both growl and bite at eachother when they meet. I'm scared for my new puppy to meet her.

[@hushpuppy7694]

There's so many videos that say let the older dog correct the puppy with growling or snapping at the dog, without give any other advice. This video helped lot, thank you. Ps the text was pretty distracting.

[@StairsHomestead]

There are a few issues that i have with this form of training, although it works for you and that's great, your teaching the Blue Merle to ignore the puppy rather than positively socialize With the puppy and by doing so the collie never really gains positive interaction because there is no interaction, only ignoring and isolation in a group environment. And the fact that this process needs to be repeated Everytime a new dog is introduced shows that the aggressive behavior still exists and is a first resort for the dog to take rather than being taught a new behavior.

[@dawespawsdogtraining9082]

Lyriq will never be a dog that can socialize with dogs he hasn't been slowly introduced to, he has serious trust issues and will resort to aggression if he doesnt feel safe. He generally chooses to ignore the dogs he lives with but spends plenty of time with them, and we have no issues, he is managed very carefully. Some dogs will never get over their aggression, just managed

[@jacquelynabdullah3852]

Am I the only one that noticed the puppy became a dog before they were together? My older dog was dog aggressive when we brought our new puppy home. We muzzled the older dog when the puppy was in the same room until she was used to him. It only took a couple weeks before she could tolerate being with him without the muzzle. This took a ridiculously long time.

[@candychelle]

Thanks for this comment. I don’t mind the time they took for their dog but we don’t have this kind of time for our dogs and personal family. We were talking of getting a muzzle recently to help with the same issue. Glad I saw your post.

My ig walks happily past every dog .i never allow h8m into dog parks for his own safety but he is reliable with every dog he encounters. He is now twelve and has never ever lunged or snapped I don’t think he ever has eye contact with other dogs except if he wNted to play when he was younger He immerses himself in sniffing ..he ignores all dogs and gallops off into sand dunes to explore then races back past other dogs With confidence He comes to me happy and excited and again distracts himself My job is to look out for him and see that a bigger dog doesn’t see him as prey so I scan the beAch before I let him go any further My Pomeranian is 12 too and he doesn’t love other dogs but tolerates them very well..ie never plays but will leave them alone If a visiting pup annoys him he will sniff and then ignore .if the pup annoys him then he growls snaps and then lies down in his spot and most dogs will never engage with h8m again except for a polite wag of a tail whilst passing He’s not had any trouble in our pack except from a prey driven saluki (now passed )who was mostly ok but would be reactive to some stimulus lordknows what Our Pom never ever lunges at dogs or retreats on a walk..he sees us as pack leaders and has greAt eye contact wit( us Again we have done nothing but basic obedience with him He ruled the roost calmly once the saluki passed away My point is...the success lies mostly in the dogs genetic makeup...the Pom had no scares in his early life and only learned to be wary of the saluki when that dog became older I had to be vigilant and supervise or separate for the safety of the little dogs They were fine in the house though...could share a lounge and space in general and the saluki wagged his tail in greeting each time the little dogs rose in the morning They had to be fed away from the saluki but they all walked together like a pack and no chasing games were permitted when off leash I simply couldn’t control the Salukis urge to chase down the Pom who would simply sit ( not at my command either) and wait til I had the saluki back on the lead He never ever ever responded to the saluki with growls or even eye contact Fearful ...yep probably! Submissive naturally to that dog ...yep Still in possible peril ...probably! But doing all he instinctively could to reduce danger to himself by not reacting aggressively in an escalating situation where the saluki is ‘only playing’ but getting revved up into hunting mode Nothing was done in the training of the Pom ...it was all just instinct I’ve been lucky But I’ve learned not to mix toy breeds with hunters I’ve learned that I have to keep learning and above all choose pups from a litter that are calm calm calm and confident in the first place and then do nothing but devote my time to raising them

Seems more like the pup had disrespected nd mocked the Big one 😂.

[@MCP_1]

Thank you! I've been having a little trouble finding instructive video demonstrations of this technique. I notice that although Lyriq is described as aggressive, during these training sessions he seems relatively calm. I get the impression that is important so that he can learn. How did you do that - did you have to identify his threshold distance and start with the puppy that far away from him? Then as you train consistently, that threshold naturally improves? Also, how often did you do this training? It looks like it was a very long process (though worthwhile, of course!). Thanks!

[@dawespawsdogtraining9082]

Hi sorry I didn't even know there were comments on here! He loves to work, so if I can engage him working he is happy to comply, I can then ask him to look at pup, as a previously taught game of "look at that" plus he'd already been introduced to her while she was in my arms. We did sessions a min of twice a week for about 2 months then got a bit lazy with them lol, and would do 1 or 2 per fortnight, the more sessions the quicker the progress!

[@nolanerunner1]

Thnx for ur vid. I watched despite your choice in this music...it’s so overused but I appreciate the efforts to film and your work overall Anyway Dog aggression is so hard to understand ...you can read the cues if you’re observant and pretty experienced but it’s not like that for most of us If a pup is aggressive or has become that way like lyric through his unfortunate isolation due to an operation then I reckon it will always be a situation you have to watch and that adds anxiety to the mix ( coming from the owner) Most people just can’t relax so they stop taking the dog out full stop and then it only gets worse You really just have to be present and in control and that’s nigh impossible. Add a child who may get caught in the melee of a sudden situation and there you have a disaster even if the dog isn’t human aggressive You can certainly improve the situation but not even professional trainers can guarantee that a can’t arise when one of us ordinary folk is trying to control it Desexing isn’t a cure either. The behaviour is learned so nothing changes in a fear aggression scenario. A calm confident dog is already in the making when it’s part of a litter and you can see the differences when you see them interacting. Do not pick a pup that retreats a lot Don’t pick the pup that is too much in your face Choose the one that hangs back a little but is happy to come over And get a puppy at 8 weeks and expose it to all the situations it’s likely to encounter in life The dogs I’ve had trouble with have either been bought too late and not adequately socialised or have had an encounter with a boisterous dog, have had that scare and I didn’t do anything to help In all my years, I’ve had three like that. The rest ( many) were great with only basic obedience training...it was just in their nature not to respond aggressively I reckon you never introduce a shyer dog to a new dog without close supervision and you have to distract all the time but that’s hard if you as 5he new owner hasnt established an alpha role..and may never do so☹️ We r told to socialise even when a pup isn’t vaccinated but the trouble is youre still exposing the pup to situations he may be scared of and you’re not equipped to handle it If a pup can learn to sit very quickly ..imagine how quickly he will learn to react with aggression before we can even spot the precursor We as humans just don’t understand the root of it all and herein lies the problem for all who aren’t the Caesar Milan types ( and I’m not speaking with a great deal of confidence about him either cos I’m not qualified) I wish you with all sinceritythe very very best and hope your dogs can get along Really admire your perseverance 😊😊😊 Youre lucky you have each other to work together and it looks like you have a great relationship!

[@nolanerunner1]

And then I found your vid where Neptune was barking at other dogs and you’re trying to train her out of it... See ... I have an Iggy who has been picked on by dogs in various degrees ...from an attack to simple growling and dominance He should be the most fear aggressive dog cos he was in a shed with other iggies for five months Why isn’t he reacting aggressively? Why is he the sweetest most submissive dog and not a mess of nerves? Not in any training I’ve done It’s just his nature to put up with it He will walk/ escape from the high grade aggressors, accept dominant ear licking etc from his pack and just gets on with seeking * pleasures in his life
