Hi Birdy, that is some proper work you did here. You should get something back from it. I subscribed to your channel just because of your comment (and I love Toyota ;)

[@BoDiggity87]

I was the client mentioned at the end of this podcast! MADE my WEEK to be mentioned and get the “really good owner” stamp of approval from my favorite dog trainer out there!!! I have a ton of respect for Joel’s family values and attitude on life. I work with troubled youth as a career and owning a tough breed is very similar-strong leadership and discipline is crucial for children and dogs both-it gives them the ability to have a better and more free life, which is more valuable than pets or treats! (And it’s no coincidence that about 85-90% of my clients in the last 14 years do not have their biological father in their life. Men need to man up and lead, along side strong women.) Thank you Joel, Garrett, and Eric for the great content. Keep being the strong men of integrity that you are. I will work extremely hard and “DO THIS ALL DAY” with the aggressive children I work with and my young and developing Cane Corso. Disciplining children and dogs both leads to them brining more joy to others. God bless 👊

[@vernonfrance2974]

@BoDiggity87 While this is mostly about dog training I am also interested in your comments about children who have problems because they don't have a father figure in their lives. I believe if you met the mothers of most of these children you would see one of the reasons there is no male in their children's lives. These women are often irresponsible, irascible and difficult to be around. Their irresponsibility is shown by the fact that many of them could have avoided having children by using protection but didn't do it. Now we have another generation growing up who will not know how to parent their children. Of course, society has a lot to do with it. Children need good influences in addition to their parents and in many cases no one takes an interest in them and there is no multi-generational training or teaching going on. Prison enters into this as well. Many men have no job training or job skills along with a lack of availability of jobs and they wind up in prison. Many single mothers are so busy working poorly paid jobs that they don't have much time with their kids.

[@jarrettmaurice3070]

No person who has a violent dog or child for that matter would ever admit publicly that they saw signs of problems before an incident happened.

[@ccap3211]

If they’ve seen signs then they shouldn’t be taking their dog in public. Not without a muzzle at least. I have one of these dogs and he isn’t allowed in public at all.

[@MrsFitzus]

​@@ccap3211you're right they shouldn't, but these are the same people that drop their dog off at the groomer (I chose this example because that's my personal area of expertise) and say "he's such an angel, you shouldn't have any problems" and then you get them back to the table or the tub and the dog is like a freaking piranha. Then you say something to them about "He was a bit feisty, has he shown signs of x-y-z before?" And then it all spills out about how the dog has bit their neighbors or parents or kids but not "seriously" because it didn't require stitches. There are FAR too many people that look at their dogs with rose colored glasses and can see no wrong in anything they do, even when the dog has a bite history and is a total liability.

I have a 2 1/2 year old Catahoula mix. I got him at 8 weeks old. He was absolutely a monster. I still have scars from his bites. I almost rehomed him but decided to give him one more chance and took him to a balanced trainer. She had him for 5 days and he never bit me again. After 2 years of private training, he is now my best bud. It was a lot of work, his trainer trained me how to train him, but worth every minute. I'm 75 years old and have a wonderful relationship with him.

[@terridavis9278]

It's not just being the boss of your dog....it is being the LEADER. I have to say there are so many breeders of Corso. They just keep breeding them. It is out of control. The breeder I use to follow is having litters at least 4 times a year if not more. 4 times a year times 8 puppies equals at least 32 untrained puppies going out into the world every year and there are many, many breeders of Corso. So think of that as one issue.

[@rptrick79]

This! Garret spoke about this the first time he came on the POD. It's the new fad money maker for irresponsible breeders and it'll end up just like the Pitbull thing eventually.

[@vernonfrance2974]

Such homely dogs although not as much so as pit bulls and Neapolitan Mastiffs.

[@Shellnbaby]

My neighbor does this with his bulldogs, 4 litters a year, which means 8 surgeries a year for this poor dog! He says they have to be surgergically inseminated and need c-section. He makes $2,000-$4,000 per puppy. Oh by the way, the dogs are completely alone m-f until 7/8pm. He is in the process of moving on to Corsos, his female is currently about a year old. I completely disagree with his approach to breeding dogs, and I worry about the health and mental stability of every puppy as the mom is very aggressive and under socialized.

Three adults stood around and no-one had a clue how to stop these dogs. They tore out his intestines on the grass while he was still alive. Its a hard watch but more people need to see the reality and the enjoyment these dogs get from it.... its what they were made to do. UK public needs to wise up to it.

Having worked my whole life with big dogs, horses, and teenagers, I think we need to stop avoiding the concept of dominance. Pack animals, which include humans, are preprogrammed to find their place in a hierarchy. Lack of clarity about who is in charge- and you just went there. Thanks

[@infin8ee]

I'm a horse person too and horse's will kill you too if you don't behave properly around them. I'm seeing "positive training " being pushed in that area aw well . Some people should not have animals .

[@IcicleFerret]

I agree. I heard somewhere that dominance is how species avoid conflict among individuals, and that's how I've started explaining it to my family who are worried I'm "too tough" on my dogs. I'm in charge, and that saves everyone from having to constantly fight.

I’m a 4’9” female. Tiny person. I have trained both large dogs and punks 15 year olds. I’m also a pastor. Years ago one of my female parishioners called and asked for help with her teens sons who were beating her up. I grabbed my coat to run over to her house and my husband said, I’ll go with you. I told him I can handle myself. He said, “I know, I’m going with you to protect the punks from your wrath. “ He advised the boys to listen or regret it. They were fatherless punks. Big kids who came at me. I had them by family jewels and pinned to the wall. They never touch their mom again. Dogs are easier. Thanks for good topic.

I just turned 60 and rescued what will be my last Pit bull. He’s a great dog but a lot of work. He’s the 1st dog I did a board and train with. He was super door reactive and dog reactive. They used an ecollar in training. A lot of people are against it but it has helped me keep my dog. Bully’s are a lot of work and a huge responsibility. I would never let him stay in the yard unsupervised. He’s great with people in public but I always carry a muzzle with me. My next dog will be a Chihuahua, the smallest one I can find 😂

[@vernonfrance2974]

@sherrylong7774 I have a "Schnauhuahua". He's very serious, like a Schnauzer and a bit protective when he hears the door bell or people shake my hand. Otherwise, he's pretty quiet. He has a fear of gun shots and fireworks.

[@pegacorn13]

Chihuahuas certainly aren't dangerous but they are guard dogs: there's probably not a more door and dog reactive breed. Of course they are cute and sweet too but I currently have one and make no mistake: she's on guard constantly!

[@sherrylong7774]

@@pegacorn13 it’s funny because right after I wrote this I saw a dog whisperer episode with Howie Mandel who was terrified of his wife’s chihuahua. I’m not a small dog person but I absolutely love those dogs. Probably because they have such a big dog attitude. They certainly are cheaper to feed

[@pegacorn13]

@@sherrylong7774 Yeah, I never was a small dog person either but when I took my kiddo to the shelter, he fell in love with our Chihuahua/Rat Terrier cross. She's a good dog but the main challenge I have had is keeping her safe. Big dogs can cause a lot of damage to a little one: even if they don't mean to. The food and the poops: way cheaper and easier! My parents recently adopted a Malamute/Lab cross and the dog is soooo mellow. You wouldn't think she had a mean bone in her body: until she is around my dog. I have no doubt that she would rip my dog to shreds if given the chance. It's a bummer and I honestly don't know if they'll ever be able to be safe together :(

[@rylanblack8571]

One thing that many people are unaware of is the affect of brain tumors in dogs. Many bully breeds are highly prone to this at a young age (under the age of 5). Dogs often exhibit unexplained and unprovoked aggression, oftentimes towards their own handlers. If you notice odd behavioral shifts, consult a vet asap.

[@Hogdawg1911]

Not noticing the signs is different to there being no signs

[@satansforeskin8164]

Pretty sure this happened to a friend of mine. Her pit mix randomly started lashing out one day, and eventually killed her cat that it was best friends with until that point. Go ahold of the people she got the puppy from, siblings had brain tumours. Every dog from the litter, and the parents had been put down due to aggression, and by put down, some were put down by vets. Others by cops. Wild stuff.

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Brain tumors in humans also can change personality and cause physical symptoms and deficits, which usually prompt testing and diagnosis. 🕊

[@rylanblack8571]

@@satansforeskin8164I became aware of this when I had multiple clients get mauled by their own pitbulls. Dogs that they adored. And this wasn’t just a bite- this involved missing fingers, skin grafts, and near fatalities. It was such an alarming and noticeable trend amongst my clients, that I asked a vet about it, and they explained to me the high instance of brain tumors in pitties. The vet said it’s become such a problem that they have started recommending owners screen their dogs or avoid the breed all together.

[@user-ze8wg1mp5p]

When I was a kid, we had white GSD's. One of them, a male, developed a brain tumor at one year of age. He was even put through k9 training and obedience from the start. He was the sweetest, smartest, family guardian & companion dog until that tumor showed up. Then the unpredictable aggression started and we couldn't get him off of a person once he started biting. He became unable to use that GSD intuition of sensing who was a danger and who wasn't and attacked adult family friends who were just playing with us like they always did and who the dog knew well. It was very sad and unfortunate. The sudden aggression was THE sign that he might have a brain tumor.

[@BoutTime73]

I have a amstaff I rescued after being abandoned near my wife’s job. She gets two runs to petsmart and the park (weather permitting) a week for social time. She loves seeing new people and just flips out to see kids, full on kisses attack lol. But she’s socialized constantly and knows boundaries. Never just left in the yard, WE go in the yard together to do business and play. Love the upload and all the content!

[@romancewriter6296]

Can't agree more. We have 3 dogs, 2 rescues. One is a Pyrenee and the other German Shepherd. Pyrenees are notorious guardians and need to be kept secured at all times because it's in them to wander off. It was lots of work to get a reliable recall, but we have one. Doesn't mean I allow her outside unsupervised, because in the end, she's my responsibility. Same but different with the shepherd: he's a nervous nelly with a dubious past and he needed loads and loads of socialization. Those two could have turned out dangerous easily. In comparison, my 4 months old Beauceron is a breeze to work with!

[@scarydebbie]

Great topic! Love Garrett teamed up with you two…I have two mixed breed litter mates, that another of their sibling’s DNA test indicated 17 different breeds. One is the sweetest dog, and the other is why I’m a huge fan of Joel’s methods. Thanks to all of you for sharing your wisdom. Such a huge help!!

[@romancewriter6296]

Dangerous dogs are no laughing matters. In the end, it doesn't really matter if they are responsible for their own behavior or not if they are dangerous. My mom is a veterinarian, from a very rural town in Canada. I used to assist her a lot when I was a teenager and many, many farm dogs are wandering and dangerous out there. We had a number of instances where our lives were in actual danger but one comes to mind above all others. My mom was attacked and had 50 stitches in her face just a few years before retiring. Owner was a disabled older woman who just stood there crying as her Akita tore my mom's face up during the routine yearly visit. I was in the room assisting when it happened. It's only because my mom knows dog behavior that she didn't scream or fight back, just kept completely still and gently pulled the dog's jaw apart with her hands that he let her go. He then proceeded to walk around the room like nothing happened while we exited together. He could have killed her easily. Turns out owner was afraid of him, didn't dare pull him off the sofa and such and locked him up when her grandkids visited, but wanted a big dog to protect her. It was so mind-boggingly irresponsible, I don't even understand how she could think it was a good idea not to mention it to the veterinarian who litterally had her face next to him while examining him. Dog ended up being put down the next day, not by my mom, as she was in the hospital. Dog lost his life, my mom her confidence and her face. Why? Because that lady was afraid and wanted a protector while not understanding this animal wasn't a passive hand gun.

[@1212LeoSnake]

There was a pit bull breeder who was mauled by his own pit bulls in California man. 😢 Couldn't understand it. I have a pit lab mix love my boy. Everyone he meets loves him. So when I heard about this tragic story, I was like damn...why? How? But I also know that dogs are the wolf's cousin. 🤔🤕 But following you for some years now along with Garret educated me so much on this subject and made me and Otis so much better. Love Garret. Love yall. Thank you for taking time in breaking things down💪🏾💪🏾😎

[@cummins24421]

I have a pit mix, other half is GSD. He came from a bad background at 8 months, zero human and dog socialization. He is now the most friendly, sociable, and confrontation averse dog with people and dogs at the park. Why? He has never been in charge of anything at all in his life since I took him home, and he has never had to protect me or himself from anything. He looks to me for everything and as long as I am with him he is never unsure or unpredictable. He is also never afraid of me. I've never reacted out of anger to him, ever. Even when he shredded my $500 area rug into a pile of blue thread. Every out of control, dangerous pit I have ever seen is the result of an irresponsible, incapable, or ignorant owner. Powerful dogs need capable handling and the vast majority of people can't even handle their own lives, much less a powerful, willful animal's life.

[@vikingdogmanship]

100%

[@DK-mp2qo]

So. So. true! Agree 100%! As I said in my comment above, there are too many (well meaning) people in the rescue community who ascribe to the "just love the dog and everything will be ok" philosophy. They check to make sure you don't have a criminal background before they will release a pit bull to you but they make zero assessment of the adopter's leadership ability.

[@ZaBuZaMoMoChi86]

Facts tell otherwise.

[@OnkyoGrady]

I like the message but I've handled groups of 6-8 week puppies with wildly different personalities. The ones that are savagely snarling and contesting everything are not great candidates as pets, at least with guardian breeds. It's not like it's always the runt either. You want the Saint of your breed? Find the puppy that sits when everyone else is going ape at like six weeks. Assuming a good owner etc...

[@madders1851]

Its nice to simplify the issue to just the owners being at fault but its just not realistic. Dogs under the umbrella "Pitbull" were bred for fighting and bloodsport and a bad owner may magnify the issue but never will it be the sole cause. Many are nice but in the chance they kill that is simply their breed trait. Fatal dog attack statistics often have incidents of people who properly cared for the dog but they still kill. Its genetic, no need to pussyfoot around the issue.

Hey Garrett, it's not a political thing. I'm a progressive and most people in the comments can hate me if they want to.

And would also LOVE to hear more about orcas and orca training! They are one of my favorite animals and if I could go back in time I'd study marine biology SPECIFICALLY just so I could study orcas.

I am so glad to hear the conversation about managing certain dogs' behavior rather than 'curing' them all -- our dog cannot be around children, will lash out if a stranger approaches us, and has to be carefully introduced to guests and new people (plus some etceteras)... I figured out a long time ago that it's our job to manage his behavior and be aware of his triggers because some things I cannot train out of him (and he's a pretty well-trained dog if I do say so myself) -- they are hard-wired in his brain due to whatever (genetics, trauma, who knows). I knew he was not going to be easy when I met him as a puppy, but I felt he needed someone who WOULD be patient and vigilant in order to give him his best life. His behavior is my responsibility.

[@tlhenderson9578]

I like Dr. Ian Dunbar who came from scientific/ data stats of dog violence behavior. Some of his previous videos are available still. He is a balanced trainer, has owned Malamutes, Rottweiler, lots of breeds personally. My Service Dog is named after him as he has been my training mentor since 2000

[@mikelazure7462]

On 'what role does leadership have on behaviour' - One of my jobs used to be going into High Schools (13-15 year olds.) and spending a couple of months talking with the students, class by class, about 'sexual good manners'. A tough topic, the kids are interested but don't want to SEEM too interested and they've already learned a bunch of 'bad' ideas and you have to be able to open up the conversation AND give clear positive ideas about respect and consent and good behaviours. NOW - the difference between different schools was ASTONISHING. Nothing to do with money/suburb either. Just the leadership in one school set a high bar for student behaviour and the kids in that school treated us visitor teachers with respect and good manners and were focused on LEARNING. Leadership in a different school, same kids, often same suburb but the kids in THAT school were like half wild creatures, loud, chaotic, rude and overly impressed with their own knowledge. This 'difference' was repeated over many many schools where the student body was essentially from the same area, same socio-economic strata, only difference was the adult leadership in play. We can argue about the word 'leadership' but whatever THAT is - it IS a thing and it DOES have a profound influence. I am very close to being a 'positive only' guy EXCEPT I struggle with those folk who dismiss 'leadership' as a thing with dogs... my experience with multiple large breed rescue dogs has been that the human leadership (Consistency of ALL humans in the household.) DOES effect the dogs in the house and 'corrections' are not violent or punishment.

[@ChildofGod474]

I've always said that the more dogs you own, with each one there's the possibility that they will follow pack mentality instead of listening to the owner. Especially if the owner is a weak one. Garret brought up something that I never thought of before- that some animals respond better to women, because they are from a matriarchal society. That's fascinating and makes total sense.

[@angelinacamacho8575]

yes with hyenas and elephants being a few of them. a female hyena is even born with a ¨penis¨ (its a long clitoris that is longer than a male hyenas penis)

[@sportysbusiness]

Totally agree with the matriarchal theory. I have 2 dogs, I'm a 54 year old woman and I am their boss. A big male friend has a massive strong american bulldog/dogo argentino mix. Everyone is frightened of that dog, the owner controls him by strength and an e-collar. Yet when I say sit, his dog sits, immediately, and stays sitting until I say OK. He responds to my energy without question where as his owner has to use strength.

I just found your Chanel by accident searching for trainers . And this comes up . I have to say I took in a foster Pitt that was a shelter dog . Absolutely gorgeous boy . He was great with his first foster who had kids and a husband and farm animals . Then he was adopted , problem started there . 3 week into the adoption they called and wanted him gone immediately. They said he tryed to bite the wife . Well talking with them I feel like they was one of those people “ I have a big bad dog “ attitude. So he came to me . But I had limits with him and I was the boss . But that made me have a really good relationship with him , then he didn’t just bite my husband he jumped full force and went for his upper body . Then he went after my adult grandson then acually bite my son . He was structured in my home . Kenneled when I was not in control of him . This all was over a 3 month period . He had a light switch and I was seeing it more and more for no reason . He would get fixated on something and it took me a lot to get him focused on something else . I took him to a few trainers and all said oh he loves you when he growled and gave them that stare . Honestly he was a very strong dog and I’m only 5 ft and 112 pounds . Since I have horses I was able to hang onto him . But honestly the light switch started happening more and more with men . And I couldn’t live with myself if for some reason he was to get away from me and hurt or possibly kill somebone . So I had him euthanized. It killed me inside because I felt I really loved him and him me . But I couldn’t live with myself if he really hurt someone . I had him cremated and brought him home . It kills me these dogs are failed early in their life by irresponsible owners . I’ve had putts for years and have 2 now both from shelters and they’re 2 of the sweetest best dogs I’ve owned . Sleep with the baby chicks kittens just love on everything and everyone. I believe structural upbringing is so important. I was searching for training and experience for when the next shelter dog comes along that needs some training and structure so hopefully I can help that one day. I saw a corso female needing a home that had really good family up bringing . No fault of hers they couldn’t keep her but was too late . She found a home . But honestly like you just said in the beginning people are looking for protection and I live in Montana in middle of no where so I will look but want to be prepared

[@aesthesia5023]

Damn dude, this topic is harsh. I've had my dog for 15 years, Australian shepherd, and even though he went through a biting phase with me and my family, we were able to sort things out, he understood to not over do it as he grew older. My younger siblings learnt to leave it alone when he was communicating discomfort. I could not imagine the disappointment I'd feel for myself if my dog to go hurt someone so seriously.

[@KRDP]

hey my black lab is same way only except he is protect agressive towards ups and fed ex , or anybody that is not in my pack

[@rptrick79]

High drive dogs bred to nip at large ass animals. Just have to train and manage it like they were talking about. A lot of aussies get like this and I think it's because people just don't give them anything to do to get their energy out. They were a fad dog for a while too, couple that with shit breeding you got a wound for sound animal with no training. Disaster for the wrong family. Good work!

What is the procedure for training the 'Side Submission' position? Where can I find this information? Excellent podcast!!!!

[@Catdragon27]

Another thought on why some trainers rag on suppression of a certain behavior is because that behavior is a result of a different problem. An example is when Joel tells clients to exercise their dog more and they’ll see a reduction in reactivity. The root cause of the reactivity was too much energy and by solving that the reactivity goes down. But that said, every dog and every situation is different. Some behaviors are serious enough they need to be suppressed right away while the trainer also works on the root cause.

Owner of two bull terriers, mother and son. AKC and ring trained and won enough to be grand champions. If I thought they would be a liability amidst all of the other dogs, I would never enter. I never worry about them, but I maintain in their mind that I am the pack leader. They are constantly testing in small ways, but once my voice drops, they know. How people handle these larger dogs, or pits, I don't know. If I want protection, I will get my gun. My dogs are not there for that. If your dogs are protecting you, guess who the alpha is?

Finally... Someone brings up WHAT A DOG WAS CREATED FOR !!! I wanna scream everytime i hear someone got a pitbull & then blames the dog when it matures & doesnt like other dogs anymore. How a dog is raised, has little to do with how it will act. Genetics matter ! Ive been around pitbulls my entire life & will always have pits. But, anyone who claims they arent dangerous, is just fooling themselves & really has no clue what they're talking about.. theyre a 40-50lb beartrap with legs ! Theyre fast, powerful & when they go, they GO !

[@rptrick79]

Just had 2 loose pits pass me hauling butt while walking my dog 2 days ago. They paused briefly I said Eh! GO ON! They took back to running, 15 min later a guy pulls up and asks if I saw 2 dogs running. Says they came into his backyard and killed his little dog. Animal control finally got them after he got them to jump in his car about another 20 min later. Prey drive musta kicked in? Small=easy target vs Dude walking larger dog=not so easy?

[@candles6103]

Sucks but its true. Some dogs are literal pussie’s 😂 they go for something smaller then them . Being bigger will always give off dominant vibes

[@angelinacamacho8575]

thats usually what happens. for some dogs a small animal like another dog or a small child can look like prey to a bigger dog. big dogs do not look like prey plus your dog probably looked intimidating to them. i had a few dogs here in peru try to pick on my 30lb mutt just for him to go all tazmanian devil mode on them.

[@rptrick79]

@@angelinacamacho8575 Taz lol. My dog was taller, but not by a whole lot. He's only 65lbs. I think the fact that he isn't reactive and I yelled at them when they paused and started to turn around probably helped some too.

Layering over undesirable behaviors can happen in some instances but you always need to keep reinforcing the replacement behavior eg. side submission and you have to see the small "tells" that most people miss that lead up to the undesiable behavior
