Aggressive Dog Fixed In SECONDS! You'd Never Guess What We Discovered! 

I came to this video after watching your explanation on one of your other recall videos. I've been a police K9 handler for 18 years. Myself and the other LE K9's in the surrounding 3 counties (approx 9 other teams) meet weekly for regular maintenance training. My instructor/friend from Austria has taught me invaluable lessons and working with and around other dogs for such a length of time has afforded me and my family to raise some great pets and great protection dogs. I dont say this to pump myself up or to brag, I sincerely say this only so you know that not just beginners or people with troubled situations are tuning into your videos. Your balanced approach and proven methods are great. When i start to see a difference in your training vs mine you quickly explain your reasons and I realize it's just another tool to achieve the same result and although a little different it's definitely not wrong or "bad". You are the FIRST AND ONLY RU-vid trainer I have seen put on a pronged collar and give yourself corrections in the hopes of educating your client and viewers. MUCH RESPECT for that! And that is why I decided to comment, like, and subscribe to your channel. Thank you for the useful information, please keep it coming!

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ru-vid.comUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

I was boarding a little Sheltie years ago. Turned out she was deaf. Poor little thing. Taught her sign language in the time I had her so it didn’t take so long to have her pee and poop in the mornings!! She was a wonderful dog!! And so much happier after we could communicate with each other.

Will the video is brilliant, showing the behaviour problem we were having. He has been checked by the vet now and we are trying medications. Fingers crossed this helps and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for your help, we have a much more relaxed dog due to improved communication 😊😊

I was feeling for the owner -- just receiving the revelation that his dog was deaf. I adopted a 1-yr.old American Bulldog and, within a year, learned he was going blind. It happened very quickly. It was a beautiful journey with him, and he had a great life with my partner and me. But It was much different than the relationship we had expected... it required some significant adjustments for us. I hope this owner has embraced his new role as his dog's ears... it's a kind of sacred role to play. 🐶🐕

Lovely dog and lucky to have found a home with this owner. If the dog is deaf or hard-of- hearing, teaching simple sign language will help strengthen their bond.

I really like this behaviouralist trainer. A balanced trainer. Not even permitted in some countries (prong collars or any pressure). Great explanations and knowledge. Must feel good to assist so many ‘dog lovers’ with their fur babies. 🙋‍♂️

What a gorgeous, sweet Doberman. When he barked at seeing the Lab I thought he sounded more like a beagle or a basset hound - kind of just alerting his Dad that there was something going on over there. Funny sound to come out of a Dobie!!

I honestly hate when ignorant people call it a spike collar and how it damages the dog. Proper training will NEVER damage your dog. It is a communication tool. It is never used as punishment.

Very nice to check the hearing. My sister is Deaf so she had to go through a much different type of communication course when she got her husky/german shepard mix. Since she can't hear if he barks and she can't speak words they rely heavily on leash communication and visual contact to ensure he is never distracted from her as well as hand signs to give commands.

“DINGS (also known as DVDob or vestibular deafness) in Dobermans is a congenital (heritable) disease characterized by deafness combined with vestibular dysfunction that is expected to affect approximately 13% of all Dobermans.” Fenrir K9 you may want to pass this on to the owner. I have a friend who bought a doberman who had this.

Two things 1. Well, I certainly wish I had come across this when we had our Dobie/mix, he was an older dog we rescued. I was able to get him to calm down when walking past neighbors dogs (he loved people, hated animals). But I think it was because he loved me so much that he mended his ways. 2. Currently training pit/mix puppy and she is hearing impaired. She's 5 months and trying to decide on proper collar for her, esp since she has skin allergies. She's very sweet. BTW, there are vibration collars for deaf dogs to get their long distance attention. In training, hand signals are a must, waving hand in front of the face for attention or tapping them somewhere, at least that's what's working for us.

Great video with the Doberman. Would never of thought that the pup couldn't hear. You're an amazing person for helping him. Hope to see more videos with that breed.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I love that you demonstrated the pinch on your own neck!! I have always shown with it on my arm but I think the neck is far more effective.

I dont have an issue with prong collars and have under proper instruction in the past used a e-collar to correct livestock chasing( it worked and I did not ever need to use again ,the dog in question went on to be my rough shooting dog) they are just tools to do the job but must be trained to use them ,I will say that like the trainer here I used the collar on myself first.having owned Dobes for 20+ yrs and all of them been rescues or rehomes they require to have a strong leader,firm boundaries, plenty of excersise, some people dont realise that they are a wee bit more work than your average dog but soooooo worth it .

I love how two men in a field and one puts a prong chain on and gets the the other to pull it. Dog must be thinking wtf is going on here! 😆 🤣

Thanks for being there for both dog and owner! Excellent video.

Mate I could watch all your videos for even just wisdom for life😂😂 Leadership IS love! No doubt!❤

What a fantastic video, it just shows what your experience and love for dogs tells us. I hope this video goes wild to enable you to reach other people who are struggling with training. Thank you for your commitment.

Thanks to Jason Corey and of course you Will, we are having a very successful start with my family and our 3 month old Cane Corso named Royce. We are having great success using you Cane Corso bundled trainings at Fenrir dog training and I closely follow all of your new content to continue learning. Thank you so much for your work at helping to create calm, confident, canine leaders, and companions!

Excellent video! A great example of how a balanced approach to training has helped this individual dog AND his owner. Perfect.

I really like this structure of video where you're showing good cuts of the training while explaining things to the owner. Feels like you're talking to us and explaining things. Also. I got a prong collar for my reactive pitbull after watching some of your videos and he is a totally different dog. Never thought I would say that but it truly is an amazing tool and I've tried so many things before that never fixed his pulling. So thank you for educating us 🙏

You are such a thoughtful communicater.

Thank you for learning about the dogs world. We need to understand them so we can coexist. It’s not just about bending them to our expectations!

That thumbnail and the real face of the dog 😂 He looked like a sweetheart from the start.

I think its really amazing that you can pick up on that (something wrong with the dogs hearing) ... it troubles me how many dogs out there have been miss treated or abused unjustly because owners and or trainers don't pick out the signs of a deaf dog. I have learned a lot from watching you and a couple of others ... brovo keep it up ...

You are such a talented canine behaviorist! It is nothing short of a miracle to see how quickly you can fix any dog.

We actually had a doberman,he passed at 13 yrs with cancer,but when he was around 11 yrs old,he too had vestibular syndrome,the vet gave him steroids,and I think it was antibiotics,it all cleared up after a week,but I think it affected him for the rest of his time 😭🥰🥰

Great work, and explanation on properly using the prong.

I love your way of training... Keep up the good work.

You are the first trainer that I've heard use the word bespoke! Bespoke is so important.

Thank you! Great example of prong collar, I’ve always been hesitant about them.

You're incredible! Subscribed just because you're explaining so well. I'm a cat person and curious to learn more about dogs just because, your videos are pure gold! Thank you. 🙏👌

Truely amazing

lovely. finding vids fascinating. I regularly look after dogs and have used your vocal command and action technique (you used it to stop a dog jumping up). I now use it to stop a dog anxiously barking when we go to the pub. barking has really reduced over two days💞thanks and blessings. Helen in Brighton🌈🌊

I respect your mission, and fair balanced training. Subscribed!!

I love your 'train the trainer' videos. Helps with troubleshooting.

what a beautiful dog! well done, yet again amazing and very helpful clear video.

Fantastic, bravo!

7:07 I want this as my doorbell ringer

Super cool love these vids, great training 👏🏾

I'm so happy he's put it on himself as to prove his trust in the collar I wouldn't ever use a prong collar as I don't like the idea of it But now I'm more understanding of the collar

Could you possibly do a video on how you got started with K9 training and what made you fall in love with working with dogs. great video btw!

Hi Will! Lovely video, I've seen a few of them and there are always great. This one I find it really helpful for my particular case. I have 2 dogs, one mostly well trained, balance and calm, male already 7 yro, and a the little cookie monster super energetic and reactive. We have them on profesional training, however we do experiencing that reactivity to other dogs and she pulls and lunges hard on the leash, didn't think of prong collar for correction but after this I am willing to give it a try. She is not aggressive per se but she is very dominant and intense with other dogs, we are just afraid she bumps into the wrong dog and stars a fight. Thank you for your advice!

Wonderful 👏

Brilliant training in minutes❤

Again a great video - thank you very much for sharing! 😀

Fascinating!

Beautiful....my favourite breed..x Bless....

I learned a lot of this almost 40 years ago when I took a 5 month old Peke pup through obedience classes. She was best of her class. I can't use dog whistles because they make me cringe from the pitch! So I used voice! I am working on training a Pyr mix and they are stubborn with a capital S

That is friggen amazing.

Brilliant video

This one is crazy!

Great session. I have the opposite problem with my Husky. He was losing sight due to cataracts ( which we had removed, both eyes) when he was 6 yrs old. Only to find out 6 months post surgery he has Glaucoma. He is now 2 years on and now completely blind in 1 eye the other he sees light and shadows. So leash work is our main area of communication paired with vocals. He is never off leash outside, we cannot use a collar due to vets advice due to the pressure it puts on his eyes. So we use a harness.paired with a Halti head Collar. He is still a happy go lucky boy. But socialisation with other dogs is problematic and he doesn’t see bodily clues from other dogs, and they are completely put of because he shows no bodily clues back ( as he doesn’t see them) I have a lot of issues with other dog owners allowing their dogs to get too close too fast, I.e their dogs are off leash and run over to us and the owner doesn’t recall them. I have signs on his harness saying I am blind.but when the other owner is 100 feet or more away from their dog, they have zero idea who their dog is running up to. When he hears a dog coming too close too fast he instinctively lies down. ( not in fear) it is like he’s saying I’m not here to play. It will normally discourage the other dog from engaging in play. For the ones that don’t that’s where we ask the owner to recall the dog, or put them on their own leash. And we move on with our walk.

Very good. Cheers! A follower from Portugal.

Loving these kind of vids 👍

be interesting to find out what the situation is with his hearing.

You are a good trainer! (Of people) and dogs ❤

Great video!! ❤️ I have a doberman myself with the exact same problem. Do I need a prong collar to salve it? He’s only that way in a city

That was amazing

Brilliant 👍

Fantastic video again

i love how you demonstrated the prong collar on yourself. they have such a bad rep because they've been used to abuse dogs.

Would love to know if the dog ended up having a significant hearing problem or if it was an infection!! So wonderful that the owners invested in learning more about their dog and getting help!! 🥰

Great diagnosis of hearing loss. 👍🏽

My favorite part is that you put the collar on yourself and showed how safe it is. People are quick to nay say tools without actually knowing the facts.

Just makes me emotional!! I love it! 😭😍 🥹👏

Hi Will, interesting case. How do you see the prognosis for this dog for walking off the lead, simple recall, that kind of thing?

Hi Will, I have a similar case with my 10 month old Dalmatian, less so with aggressiveness, but more so with reactiveness and pulling on the lead. I've been trying your techniques, but it doesn't seem to be improving, again its probably down to my timing and technique. I wondered whether we can arrange a one on one session for you to advise? He's a great dog, loving and soft but walking him isn't currently my highlight of the day and I want to enjoy walking him rather than dread it. Many thanks Josh

We are limited with tools of what we can use on our dogs here in Australia they have made so many things illegal. Not sure about the prong collar though will look into it. Might help with more control over my BC and his leaping and cavorting toward other dogs. Thank you .

The prong collar is a dog behaviorist's must-have tool.

Wow so cool. Good job

Deaf dogs can be great dogs once you figure out a communication system. My husband and I had two deaf dogs, a JRT and a longhaired mini-doxie. We used some ASL signs and some other gestures we adapted. They were great dogs! Kind of nice that you can sneak into the house with all your groceries, put them all away while the dogs are sleeping and not be detected. They never barked at someone knocking at the door or noises outside. Benefits of deaf dog ownership.

Hey Will, why did you decide on a prong collar if a vibrating one would have done the trick just as well?

Your Brilliant mate 👍🐕‍🦺👍

Great video but did you find out of the dobi had hearing issues?

How can you do them little correction pulls if the lead is constantly tense

Hi really like your videos Will. Any chance of listing items used? Interested in your slip leads and prong collar manufacturers?

Another great vid I would love to have the opportunity for you to train me and my dog

thanks for the awesome vids, i have a 1 year old corso, awesome dog, i've heard all sides , pros cons, but what do you say about fixing him. Will that actaully fix anything?? we don't want to breed him or anything, but we also don't want to hatchet him up. he got his ears, tail. etc...

are you done with prong after that session? or do you keep going with it?

I have this problem with my little lhasa cross. Barks and lunges like crazy whenever we see another dog. Would love some help.

Hi, what is the best way to stop my mix Doberman pincher and American bulldog from attacking me biting when he’s on the lead when he gets really excited. Please help. 🙏🏻

Spotted you in Tom Davis' video!

I'm curious, did they test his hearing and what was the outcome? Also, I had Dobermans and trained a lot of them, but I never saw a Doberman who was normally walking with his back arched like that (at the 7 minute mark)

Sorry for two comments… Besides, the wrong collar which I am getting for my pup GST, do I need a special leash also. I have a 6 foot nylon leash, and then I have a retractable leash.

That's so impressive :o Maybe you can explain to me why when we're in town with the leash, my dog has almost no engagement with me and is very reactive especially to dogs and children but when we are in nature, he's always checking in every 30sec and coming to me if I call (but not when he sees another dog)? Also, what's brand of your prong collar? It looks efficient and very qualitative

what brand of prong collar is that

Thank you !!!! I ordered a prong collar for my 1.9 month red Doberman Noah 🐾

Just like everyone else, I'm curious to know the results of the dog's hearing test.

Is it possible to train your dog to correct another dog better? i.e. my dog will go past a “correction” snap and pin down the dog until they submit. No one is hurt and my dog doesn’t bite the other dog but it’s to the point where the puppy is crying hysterically.

👏

How do I get one of those collars ?

I was wondering if you could provide me with an idea on how to socialize my 18 week corso with other dogs that aren't as behaved as my corso. Every dog that I've tried to introduce my corso to they almost seem intimated of him. My corso is such a sweetheart and wants to play with everyone, but the other dogs aren't having it. I'm taking the socializing seriously and I am having a hard time trusting other people with their dogs and their manners just by seeing how they respond to their dogs reactivity. Is there such thing as like a class or community events with other people who take training their dog as seriously as I am? I want to set my dog up for success as much as I can, thanks in advance.

I have a reactive Amstaff. Shes aggressive with other dogs while on leash. Shes aggressive towards dogs and people while separated by fencing in our yard. So much so, shes ripping our wood fence apart to try to get to other dogs. Shes even bitten our elderly neighbor who tried to catch her balance by reaching for our fence. Our Amstaff is also super aggressive, often charging our storm door, when she sees anyone walking outside. Otherwise, she is so sweet and loving. We just dont know how to correct this behavior.

Will, can you please do a video on playing tug of war with your dog? Good idea? Bad idea? If good, how can it be done without teaching your dog to fight for his toys with you?

Sir, I have a question regarding my 7 month old rottweiler. When we go for a slow walk, he will also walk calmly, but when I start to jog he gets excited and sometimes puts his mouth on my leg with no force. What can I do to stop this behavior?

Where can I get the prong collars I’ve got the same problem with my Doberman .

👍🏼

What do you do for a dog who dramatically throws a fit and attacks the leash?
