@Flowers Girl this dude isn’t abusive you must be new to his channel if you think that, watch a few more before you’re so quick to judge. Edit I will agree he shouldn’t have slapped the dog on his side. But some show alpha occasionally like that
No coincident that we didn't see this guy's face. For all we know he's a real life, walking and talking crocodile wearing pants and those crocs are actually his bare feet.
This is what an experienced dog owner looks like. 1. He knows his dog 2. He understands the nature of the breed. 3. Calm and assertive 4. Immediately diagnoses the dogs behavior and flawlessly manages the situation:
@@jennpapineau3157 training methodology is evaluated in its efficacy by the outcome. Here, the dog has submitted, responded to commands, and earned his food. There was no abuse, and no injury. Meanwhile, your critique is hollow and vapid, lacking any substance or explanation of your stance. I can only ascertain that your crappy contribution is a result of society falsely giving you the impression that what you think about anything at all matters to anyone, thereby exacerbating your shitty annoying behavior.
My father hit me with that once. The 15+ previous spankings with belts from my mother and other family members couldn't measure up to the the effect of just One of Those.
I Dont agree with that . He may have stablished his dominance position in that moment but not for long , because dogs like him have strong instincts which makes them protect their food source from anyone , even from the alfa. So there are only a few outcomes: 1. The dog will continue defending his food and the owner will keep doing Cesar Millan's branded touch indefinitely. 2. The dog will stop defending his food as soon the owners approaches to him or 3 . The dog eventually bites him and be severely punished as a result. These "brave" " skilled" are alpha as long as the dog allows them to be.
@@gracoellobero3411 you have miss-understood how training and pack mentality is. You do not only do this one time. staying as the alpha is different from teaching tricks, EVERY time a pet tries to be in control, defensive, aggressive, you show them again how YOU are the one in charge, YOU have the food, it is YOUR house. if your a good owner you do this passively all the time, but can be easily forgetten when your pet understands it is the beta, and then sometimes something will stir up your animal, maybe your boy dog saw a female dog recently and so tries more alpha behaviour, you stomp that away straight away. Being an alpha is not a one time thing, it is continues, and this video is a simple demonstration. Only morons think you can teach hierarchy like teaching a simple trick
@@jax6943 are you suggesting just killing a dog the moment it doesnt follow your commands? kinda fucked up. *topic about pack hierarchy* guy: *gives opinion* other guy: "i dont agree" you: "we can just fucking kill them anyway so what does it matter" like bruh thats kinda sociopathic
@@forget2bhuman993 yh bro I was scared my dog ran at me today and I was scared he never do this I always touch him when he is eating and he is a pitbull German mix I thought I was dead i might give up taking care of dogs cause am not a good owner it just happen to me a few minutes ago
We adopted a 3 year old English Mastiff - who was twice my size and weighed 195lbs. He came from a home that didn’t treat him well and he had some issues at first with his food/treats and his toys. Having 3 small kids in the house, and no dog training prior, I was like “well shit, I suppose he’s a fourth kid and I need to be calm but assertive just like I am with them!” And it worked perfectly. I talked to him similarly to how you talked here, I hand fed him and after he was good with that, I kept my hand in his bowl when he’d eat. Once he was very calm and comfortable and sweet, I then had the kids hand feed him with supervision and moved to watching them put their hand in his bowl. He didn’t mind one bit at that point!! He ended up being the most gentle, sweet, loving, most amazing dog ever. He lived well past his life expectancy to the age of almost 14. He was the best boy ever and my kids very best friend until they were almost into adulthood. He was so gentle that he wouldn’t play tug o war with them, because he was afraid he’d hurt them somehow. He took in 3 kittens (that we took in when they were abandoned before their eyes were fully opened) as their mommy-daddy dog 😂 they were half the size of his paw and they loved snuggling and sleeping in his rolls. He wouldn’t move for hours if they were sleeping by him, just to keep them safe and warm. I loved watching this video, and it helps me know I did some of it right when I was working with him. Him passing last summer started the hardest few months I’ve ever had, but it helped knowing that he had the best life and was always the happiest boy, from 3 years old to the end of his life at 14. ❤️
Great work! I've had Pit Bulls all my adult life...and trained them to respect all family members...so that my nephews as toddlers could take their food or toys away without fear. Nothing sweeter than watching a 60lb gamebred Pit respecting a toddler as his boss! Right now I have an adult American Bulldog/Pit Bull mix, a cat and a cockatiel that all hang out together in the living room during the evenings! It's all about respect and showing whose in charge.
This story is how mamy children/owners end up getting mauled. Getting older dog comes with too many unknowm veriables. Im glad it worked out, bit every case of a dog killing is a story where it didint.
This is exactly how you do it. Slow, confident, but not yelling and over the top. Calm, but showing you're the boss, but ALSO not beating the shit out of the dog. The tap just to get his attention. 10/10, good training.
OMG this guy is a genius! That hand feeding at the end, he’s the provider! The dog now knows the dude is the alpha, the one who feeds him, the one who keeps him alive. Amazing!
True. The sad thing is that some dogs will do completely fine hand feeding, but bite when bowl eating, which is confusing and can lead to some serious issues
@@modesttriangle1022 thats why he forces the hand feeding during dominant episodes. so he can curb that behavior and directly retrain it into a scenario inwhich he has control.
@@jordaneimer2873 Yeah, that is quite scary to do for me. I have a dog that will just straight up bite if I get too close to his bowl in a specific spot where he's dominant over it, he's actually broken skin once. How do I train him out of that? Maybe wear bite gloves? Or do I just keep hand feeding him/feeding him in a spot where he's less in control of the food?
@@modesttriangle1022 are all dogs like that? Are females like that too? Cuz a friend's female pit bull never wanted to show who's the boss for some reason, I'm thinking of getting a male pit bull, but I'm scared of these dominant episodes,
This man knows what he is doing. He can have a dog like this because he knows how to correct him. The problem is when weak people who humanize their dogs and cant educate them have dogs like this, it ends very badly. I love these dogs but they should be banned for the majority of people, because the majority of people dont do what this man did
@@amazoner0cks it's a reaction more than anything. Think about it when you're in a pac the alpha eats first. So that's the dogs mentality. It's up to the owner to teach the dogs that's my food, and I'm giving it to you which makes the owner the alpha. I have never eaten after my dog and I always leave a scrap so my dogs know exactly who's boss. They always have food after me and I regularly remove there food temporarily to show this is mine. But I'm letting you have it
Jconor one of the best comments I've seen on RU-vid talking facts. Owners should have a licence and be trained on how to educate dog breeds such as this one
As a trainer who deals with everything from obedience to service dog training to aggression, I'd like to first say that this is not an aggressive dog. He is possessive in this video, but not aggressive. That said possession uncheck can turn into aggression in the blink of an eye. WELL DONE SIR!!! This man may have saved that dogs life.
@@alexleanh you keep saying they’re animals as if they don’t run on a certain psychology. If all dogs were trained and socialized properly I guarantee you the aggressiveness/ kill rate of dogs would be minuscule to non existent. Humans kill more humans in a year than dogs ever have. So shut up with your crap and get the facts straight.
@@alexleanh I disagree with all dogs are not aggressive. The hall have teeth and can bite but if you get a dog and know history and bloodline of that dog then you’ll know that dogs nature a lot more
Crocs actually feel good on feet that's been in work boots all fucking day,but I wouldn't go to Wal-Mart in them....but I'd probably fit in wearing them there?
@It is what it is. even though we have domesticated dogs they still have the instinct to take the alpha spot if they can. Even small breed dogs will try it.
@It is what it is. the fact that you called me stupid simply because I wanted to end the *conversation* proves that this is a hostile conversation AKA *an argument.* You have no idea were my intellect sits. But I now know a little bit about your civility.
@It is what it is. The moment ppl feel threatened with information they dont know, they become more defensive and stubborn. Some ppl just dont know how to deal with opposing views, even when the "argument" is presented in a nonconfrontational manner. Nothing you said was wrong but at the same time, a lot of ppl cant deal with farm life practices. Not that raising dogs relates only to farm life, but a lot of farm life is harsh and not sugar coated
perfectly handled. your hound clearly understood you through posturing and tone of voice. the fact that you got long winded with him is perfect as well. In my opinion, it helped the hound to understand patience, hierarchy and listening for his command. perfectly done sir.
@@pyramidion5911 the dogs growling at him any time he’s near the food, those growls won’t be growls towards someone that isn’t him. Needs to be taught, and without discipline like such
@@pyramidion5911 If you think this is bullying the dog then please don't ever own a dog, you will get somebody else bit. In the dog/wolf hierarchy there must always be an alpha or pack leader, whether its you or the dog, that part is programmed in their brains. So just get you a weiner dog if your gonna let it run all over you like a doormat
@@winkleberrygang from my point of view it's all the guys that say stupid stuff like "the dog needs an alpha" that shouldnt be around dogs they are scared of. The dog needs direction not domination, and if you over do it with all the alpha beta crap he will correctly interpret you as a threat and act accordingly.
@@gutwounds I don't like the growling behavior but I also don't like seeing people acting tough with their dogs. Lecturing a dog and then starting to lose your temper with them isn't clearly communicating what you expect, it's just going to stress them out more whenever food comes around.
Etu Molden just FYI, the grab on the neck or poke to the neck is how mothers correct puppy behavior. So by the handler doing this he gets his dog in the corrective learning phase brain wise since a mother dog with her pup would get the same after a nip to the neck. That’s literally all it takes and patience. Calm demeanor is another huge perk. Give him a 10/10 on lesson ur avg or non experienced handler has no idea about.
Etu Molden it works because that’s how mother corrects its puppies behaviors is by a light bite or tug on next skin. That’s why the handler applies it.
Neck touch is physical if you mean amazing because hes not beating the dog fact is beating any dog isn't gonna anything but a corso is just dumb think about it that dog has the power to kill him if he really wanted to its more mental if it was all physically the dog would win every day
This guy talks to his dogs exactly like I do and I feel an extremely deep sense of camaraderie with him for it. Keep on doing you thing man, and your pup is fire, you should be proud.
Dude your not a nice hunan. You dont treat animals like that. He grawls at you because you push him in a corner. A good loved dog will always love you back. You need to be treated the same way.
@@michaeldover4896 You need to train your dogs, and not humanize them. You dont know anything about dog training. You need to set your dog boundaries, and show them whos the boss in the house. Otherwise the house will be a spawn of satan, and the dog can do anything it wants. If you try to control it once its adult it wont be easy.
@@michaeldover4896 You are applying human attributes onto a dog, they do not operate the same way we do. You have to show them you are the alpha of the house or else they will decide they are the alpha, it's the wolf dna. Please don't ever raise or train powerful dog breeds.
@@michaeldover4896 yeah that's the stupidest shit to ever have when having a dog. You act in their language when training them. Your "love and care" is for them, being submissive. And for dogs, if everyone's being submissive then they'll take over the leadership role put of instinct, if it comes to that point, you have become the pet.
He simply showed the dog he was the alpha. He commanded the dog. People treat dogs like babies then treat babies like dogs. This type of breed must be shown who the alpha is and if you listen to his tone and voice you can tell he loves his dog he's just saying I am the boss.
@@OG-ze1ec well if you own a dog like this you HAVE to treat them this way otherwise it’s going to end real badly. It’s different than owning a pug lol
@@Ky-xm7tc the problem is majority of people who owns these dogs dont do what this man did. My dog is 13 years old, I walk him every day since he was little, I meet dogs every day, I know what Im talking about. Thats why when they say "they shouldnt be called dangerous! he is a baby!" is bullshit, these dogs are potentially dangerous because the consequences are terrible and not everyone should be able to have them because not everyone can educate and control them. A lot of weak men or stupid men, and a lot of women who think they are babies bring a lot of problems to the streets with these dogs
It’s his tone dogs can recognize the vocal tones and correlate it to emotion hence why they show emotion depending on how you speak and act around them. Control is the key and his owner has control over the situation by asserting stern commands and tones .
Great interaction. Men and their dogs are always something else. When you were talking to him about food possessiveness and “who do you think you are? This is My food...I give it to you” I laughed cause I basically do that same dialogue with my German. He’s surprising me how quickly he’s remembering shape/color/object recognition. Telling him to get one specific color/item of the bunch and he finds it like a detective. What amazing companions they are.
“Having yellow-blue dichromatic vision means that dogs are most similar to a red-green color blind person. They are very good at distinguishing between variations of blues and yellows, but cannot really see red and green all that well.“ Lines up perfectly with experiences from my German. He’s near 100% getting the blue ball when asked to find among a cluster of toys everywhere, but he almost never gets the red or green by call, often gets the pink when asked to get red. But thanks for the half truth comment that spurred me to look into it more.
No this is just starvation at its finest, its the DOGS food. Not human food. It aint for yall and never will be, yall just domesticate dogs for ur loneliness
Discipline is important for any size dog. As a dog groomer, I end up banning more small breeds than the big ones. The big ones usually need two groomers to get their nails done because they’re so nervous and want to be given lots of attention. The little ones pull, growl, snap and gator growl constantly. Owners always find it hilarious and act like we can’t do our jobs right because their little ankle biter wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Safa Bishara because most large breed dogs were bred to be headstrong considering the jobs they were meant to have. The little ones weren’t bred to be dominant so end up with worse behavior in general since they’re just left to their own devices and ultimately untrained.
@@zazapachinko9709 The difference is the result of the bad behavior. With this animal bad behavior can be maiming or death. With a Chihuahua it's a bloody finger.
I’ll never understand people wanting a large, potentially dangerous dog slobbering all over their house while also having to be in a constant struggle for dominance. Jeez dude I’ll just get a goldfish or something 😭
True a tiny fast tap on the side of the neck is how the alpha disciplines a dog being rude telling the dog that “this is mine”,the leader of the pack always controls the food as well as eating first.Reestablishing dominance and confidence and understanding of dogs body language is key to being the alpha.
anyone complaining that he gave him a slap, which didn't hurt him, just try living with a food aggressive cane corso. one day, after it knows it can get away with it and that it's the boss, you're gonna be driving to the hospital with a nasty dog bite, thinking "damn, i shoulda shown him who's boss". and then you're screwed living with a giant dog that thinks it can take a bite out of you when you're out of line. no thanks.
@The dark lord not true , you can and you need to be. The dog needs one alpha in his pack, not every one of the family. The thing is: the dog will pick out the alpha, not you...so now the tricks and the rules and never break them because it's in the dna of the dog to be dominant and only respects someone more dominant if it's on a daily base....not ones in a will or you will be bitten ....
@The dark lord dogs are pack animals. You need to be the leader of the pack, and very much put extra effort in for a beast like this. There's plenty of research to support this, and any experienced dog trainer will tell you the same. This whole "you can have him respect you without you being the alpha" is some very misleading and frankly wrong. No disrespect. It's just the truth
@The dark lord maybe you should google it, or listen to what LITERALLY everyone else (like, 98 out of 100 people)are saying, or even watch the video youre commenting under...instead of believing one butt fuck dog shelter employee's opinion who I'm sure you haven't spent longer than 10 minutes with in your life total and dont even knwo his name or credentials
@@martinnijs8317 I am betting your under the age of 35. You need to be the alpha of the pack. Your dog has to see you as alpha or you will have zero control. Your dog needs to know everyone in your family is over them. This is why you see dogs listen to one person in a family and the rest can’t control the dog at all. Like I say I am betting your under 35 probably less then 30. Sir you have been taught wrong.
And I want one soooooo bad!!! They are beautiful! However my brother keeps telling me that I don’t need a dog like that, because I’m too soft hearted, and not aggressive enough.😩
Well, I fed my amstaff since Young from hand. There were moments where she wouldnt eat from The bowl. I can Take anytime her food from her and she wont say anything.
@@mariusionut91 exactly. From my Great Dane years ago to my two Bulldogs now. When they were all pups I would feed them, gently open their mouths and remove food, keep talking pleasantly to them and then give them back their food. It taught them that family members will not steal their food so they never developed the instinct to protect their food. We've never had a territory issue around the food bowls.
@@farvasstache6532 Clearly, you are not aware of the fact that every dog has its own personality. This dog owner in the video seems like he know his stuff, yet his dog STILL tries to dominate him because the dog is a very strong character. He would probably dominate your dogs, given the chance. Yet the owner in the video manages to subdue his dog with minimal conflict. That's amazing. Well done!
imagine being told what to do by a person who wears regular clothes cz he is to afraid to wear what ever he wants and is affected by social pressure. That would suck
Dude is spot on. Mastiffs are a confident dominant breed. They will challenge u for dominance and to be come Alpha. This handler stayed calm, didn’t allow the dog to dictate behavior without correction. He even corrects correctly with a slight grab/poke to the neck. Many may not know why he did this instead of whack on the butt. Well that Lil neck grab tug is what the mother will do to her puppies to correct behavior just as he does. Nothing more dangerous than a dog defending his food. It takes a few mins to garner domination and attention of the dog but he does cool, calm, and precise. Gives basic commands to get the dogs brain switching from a dominant protective mode into a learn and listen phase showing the handler had full control. Awesome piece of footage and knowledge this handler has given the viewers. Notice his calm demeanor through entire clip. Bottom line the handler was willing to take hrs if necessaryto correct behavior on the spot. That’s where most dog owners fall way short, their dog outlasts them eventually handler gives up and reinforces that bad food dominant behavior because he gave in to the dogs will. Mastiffs are NOT FOR EVERYONE. IMO BEST BREEDS OF DOGS ON THE PLANET BUT ALSO MOST DANGEROUS DOGS ON the PLANET. Every is so afraid of a pit bull. Pit bulls were used for animal fighting, not trained to be aggressive towards people. Where Mastiffs were bread and built to take down and/or take out Humans. This has been their primary function since the times of Alexander the Great in 600b.c. Had an army of them with him full on armor of which most infantry men never got in his army to show the type of value these dogs represented to him. So these dogs were highly prized for there protection and ferociousness. There’s several stories of these Molossus Mastiffs saving Alexander’s life. This is where all our Mastiffs breeds were cross bred to get more specific characteristics to very certain working aspects. No bad dogs just bad owners. I know I feel safe leaving my 11yr old daughter hm alone and my GF as long as my Cane Corso is Hm with them I know he will give his life with no hesitation to protect them. His job is to give them time to get to their weapons and in tactically defensive positions in by the house to eliminate an intruder. I love these breeds and don’t want them placed with same stigma as pit bulls. No bad dogs just bad owners. This dog must have a handler with a tremendous amount of experience in training and recognizing dog behavior from an experienced handler. Mine is all self taught through owning a dog since 3yrs old to 40 now. Can’t see how he could have corrected behavior any better. But he’s gonna be doing that daily to reinforce the behavior handler wants. Awesome job!! Need more experienced owners like yourself to keep a positive image of these magnificent animals.
Well done sir. I’ve worked with dominant breed dogs for many years now. You must must must establish you’re the alpha. If you don’t things are ugly for everybody including the dog. For people that think this is cruel and unusual and unnecessary, do you and us a favor and never get a large dominant breed dog. We’ll get bit, you’ll get sued and the dog will get put down. It’s a story as old as time.
Any advice on how to get a dog to not be so scared of everything? My 8 month old CC puppy is scared of any objects thats slightly larger than him. He's terrified of baby gates and umbrellas lol idk what to do to get him to not be so scared. I'm hoping he grows out of it but so far it's still the same reactions.
@@1xBossup that actually might work. He was scared of swimming till he seen my friends dogs swimming, now he loves it. He's alot more confident around other dogs it seems like. I'll defiantly have to try that. Thank you so much 😁
Perfect example of “it’s the owner, not the animal.” You get out of a dog what you put into them. Love, discipline and hard work will get you these types of results. I greatly appreciate what this guy has done with his dog.
I don't know how people end up with poorly trained pets. Nature already made it easy for us. They have some of our facial expressions. It shouldn't be that hard to read and correct a poorly disciplined dog.
@@calebharkemeister6278 I'm sure it had a reason, whether or not that reason was logical we'll never know. Perhaps it was the other dog who tried to kill it, sending it into self-defense mode and mauling it to death? People are honestly not all that logical to think that another living being, with it's own will and set of biological instructions, will behave exactly how we want and expect them to at all times. Perhaps the dog suffered from a mental disorder. What if it had cancer and a tumor pressed against its brain causing it to react extremely strangely. What if a different type of medical problem caused it pain and that was the only way it knew how to react to the pain. Maybe it thought the pain had to be coming from the only other thing near it and so, in an attempt to get the pain to stop, it had to stop the other dog? Who knows? I just know that we, as humans, tend to expect perhaps way more than we should and it comes at a severe cost sometimes, like the woman who had a pet Chimpanzee, and figured that Prozac and Xanax was a way to get it to be nice and calm since those things work that way on humans, and then one day it went nuts and ripped her face off and ate it. LOL, sorry, that's not the funny part. Ehem...then she decided to go on Oprah without a face. >
@@calebharkemeister6278 There are studies that show dogs actually understand human smiling to be a positive expression. They were bred to be out companions after all.
I grew up with Weimaraners... I remember my first Weimaraner, Eva, challenged my mother for dominance one morning (my mom wanted to change the bed sheets, and Eva was on the bed growling) My mom went ballistic - sent the dog flying... Eva never challenged the family ever again, and was arguably the best family dog we ever had ❤️
Yo, imma just save this. This is a master class on how to deal with a dog that doesn't understand its place. He put the dog on the spot, made him feel pressure, but not feel threatened. Only taking that pressure away when the dog submitted. This was fuckin excellent.
That was one of the best trainings I have seen Teaching him a lesson in alpha and manners at same time but not being abusive Very well done You have the right temperament also Your voice is calm yet serious Good job
@Lashonya Hutton, I agree 100 percent, people have this odd misconception that to be the alpha leader of your dog pack you have to be volatile and mean. I have a breed some what similar to a Corso and I've trained her just fine without yelling at her or dominating her.
Oop. This man really just said "im not angry, im disappointed". Speaking as someone who has gotten that lecture, that lesson really sticks better than if the person was angry. Nothing worse than disappointing someone you respect.
@@explorer666able don't let them sleep in your bed. Crate train in the living room. Don't let them enter the main doorways first. Always last. Don't let them sit in your "spot" wherever that is. They are happier with structure. I just got a pup few days ago and this is what I've been reading

Dogs can read human emotions and body language. I found changing my voice to a disapproving tone and just using the words like naughty or bad are enough to let my dog know I'm displeased. Maintain the hyreichary so your dog knows you are the boss must be set as soon as the dog comes home. You don't have to be mean of cruel to achieve this by engaging with your dog through both obedience training and play, Yes playtime with your dog is very important too, you will develop a deep insperable bond with your 4 legged companion.
Peter maybe your dog is an omega dog( the one who submits) maybe he has a Beta dog( cause the owner is the Alpha) the guy needs to let him know who is the dominant one, the one who provides his food. I dont see anything wrong with him discipline his dog. I do the same thing when my dog is trying to run to his bowl full of food I make him wait to let him know Im the one in control.

Well done, people take note.....this is exactly how to raise any dog. Perfectly portrayed the role of the alpha and the dog will be better off in the long run knowing it's place as a pack/family member. Also, the dog will respect not only the owner, but anyone else that is welcomed into this pack. So many people think that it's "being mean" to an animal by acting like this, when actually, the dog is so much more happy when it feels like it has a spot in the hierarchy of the pack/family. GOOD JOB DUDE.
It could have been more streamlined in the execution to maximize learning though. All the talking and pacing can be confusing and overstimulating, and frankly seems more like what a not completely confident dog trying to assert dominance would do. An actual alpha would just lay down the law, without any frills. Take the food away, and not give it back until there's relaxed submission.
If in doubt about what's mean and what not, you just need to observe Well socialized dog's behaviour with each other. The best of friends don't ask "would you kindly pass me your treat please?" 🤗
No way, a tougher dog would have taken his hand off for messing with his food like that. The guy in the video is just lucky he's being mean to a good dog.
@@pyramidion5911 How is he being mean? I would NEVER allow my Pit Bulls to growl at me like that!!! They know with out a doubt that I am the alpha! I can pick up their dish in the middle of their dinner...or take food out of their mouths any time I want. Being mean would be to allow them to display dominant aggressive behavior that could get them killed.
@Master deBater absolutely. We should be able to literally open their mouth when they are eating and they be ok with it, no drama. I do that and mine would never even dare to growl at me or my kids or wife. We do not hit them, smack them, chain them, or any type of mistreatment. We do respect and love them and they respect us, and that is all you need.
@@Master...deBater wow what a big man you are picking up a dog's food whenever you want 👏 that's super impressive my guy no wonder they see you as THE ALPHA
@@lgarcia67 as long as no ones intimidating the dogs and mistreating them that's cool with me. In my opinion though whether or not you can get near a dogs food or open it's mouth when it's eating should be more up to the temperament of the dog and not a blanket expectation of all dogs. Some dogs are great around kids and in packs and some dogs you shouldn't turn your back on. You cant make every dog perfect for every situation and the dogs don't know any better so its ridiculous to treat them like they did something wrong.
I’ve always put my hand in my Rottweilers bowl since he was very small. I pet him and play with his paws while he eats. Now you can stand around his food and touch him and the food while he’s eating and he doesn’t care.
That's only partially true. One of the problems is whether or not your dog has the alpha gene. Even a small puppy, if it has the alpha gene, will instinctively try to attack anyone or anything else, even it's own siblings or other family members, in order to protect its food and establish dominance. It's a natural part of dog behavior and having that trait can make training a much more difficult endeavor.
@@sahilduggal8627 I never said that food aggression ONLY exists with the alpha gene, just that a dog that has the genetic predisposition to be an alpha will almost surely show food aggression as that is one of the multiple ways that it will establish its position in the hierarchical structure of a pack. I would actually say that most dogs have food aggression built into them genetically, even if not predisposed to be the alpha, because even a second in command will show aggression to those beneath it in the pack, and the third in command will show aggression to those beneath it and so on and so forth until you have the lowest position in the pack or the 'Omega', which has no one else to show aggression to. So out of a pack of 5, there may only be 1 that doesn't show food aggression in some way at some point or another.
Wow. That was some real good communication skills. Your voice was stern but loving. You didn't portray anything negative and then rewarded him for listening all while teaching him not to bite the hand that feeds him. Well done.
@The dark lord you are wrong. Don’t ever try to own a large dog. It will run your life with your attitude and be dangerous to everyone else and you will think he’s being “protective” like most geniuses.
The dark lord but u mentioned a pack ? There has to be a alpha in a pack and its just like wolves someone has to be above it all the alpha is the hunter he initiates the kill when he says its time to eat then its time to eat same thing when training a dog whoever has the food is the alpha . The dog isn’t dumb he’ll never bite the hand that feeds him but he also want to see if he can easily take it away from you hence there has to be a alpha.
This is one of the best disciplining videos i have watched. Dog was being rowdy, but owner NEVER responded in an aggressive manner. Like someone mentioned, slow, confident and in control. That is one cute guard dog, bur you, sir, are also a responsible owner.
@@AutisticBeaver If I remember correctly Negans group did something to start it all off though. Ricks attack was retaliatory. I stopped watching after Negans group attacked Ricks base. Tons of injured people not being guarded. In the middle of the night die and turn. And start eating people? This far along and they still don’t have their shit together. I was done.
I have a cat like this. I didn’t buy him, I didn’t rescue him, he simply decided to move in. I did take him to the vet, gave him the full-meal-deal, cost me $2800… and now I have a total asshole cat. It’s a power struggle; he assumes that now he’s moved in that he’s the king. We’re kind of like the “odd couple”… I buy him expensive food and treats and toys, and in return he rips open my skin, every chance he gets. Isn’t it beautiful? Oh, just remembered, I need a new bag of cat litter for His Highness.
@@truthsayerq7264 You probably don't know anything about Cane Corsos of you think you can stop the with a gun lmao! They'll jump and RIP your throat apart in seconds even before you get a chance to get a shot out
That neck poke works great. Gets them out of they’re locked-in stubborn mode. There’s moments like this in any dominant breed’s life where the owner absolutely has to show control. Well done
Really awesome. I've just had to do this with the highly dominant prone foster dog I just took in. Growled at my dog eating food then took over his dish. (There are two separated eating areas but shes being dominant in unrespectful way) So I had to intervene. Take possession of the food till she backed up. When she didn't give dominant behavior I backed off her. Let my dog eat till he was done. Then sat and hand fed them both while they were both calm. Then gave her the bowl, she ate got a little too possessive, I took the bowl back. When she showed calm energy I let her eat again. By the end she was wagging her tail with my hand in the bowl "eating". At every turn she has tried to be dominant. It's a process but shes learning to relinquish that role. Cant wait till tomorrow to go for a big hike all the family together and strength the harmonious union of the "pack" She was an adoption fail and I see why. It's so important to have boundaries. It can actually save a dogs life.
I think he handled this very calmly. He did not slap the dog, he just kinda pocked it to get its attention, like flicking a little kid. Most people would freak out or leave the dog alone which SEEMS like the right thing to do but really it just creates a bigger problem in the long run.
I’ve been researching on dogs a lot recently and the slap that he did is to show “Dominance” tell the dog to back down because he is bigger aka the Alpha
@@katz734 he was very calm and assertive and act the right moment to let know the dog. It takes time to fix the possesion dog on food,but with the right knowledge and experience everything it's possible. 🐕💯
@rithin das well what Cesar millan show the world and to people for me was every dog can be worked,but it's a very common mistake people think if Cesar did it I can do it.and it's not easy like that.i believe Cesar made the show to all of us who love animals. For me was a contribution to the world
I have watched this man's video so many times and I am still impressed ever time. A cane Corso is a strong, dominant breed by design and I'm so impressed with the calm, assertive energy that this man has over his powerful dog.
it's so cute how dogs understand when you're lecturing them. the way they try so hard to understand you and their mimic changes and they turn their little heads
"Your not you when your hungry" I like how he calmly and confidently disciplined him. It helps amateur dog owners to know what to do in similar circumstances.
@@AH-kq7pn Not sure if that is correct. Ofcourse positive reinforcement is the way to go, when posssible. However there seems to be difference in breeds. Domination behavior seems to be stronger in some breeds with ascertive personalities. Or Im just clueless. That might also be the case
@@AH-kq7pn completely wrong. Some dogs are territorial and need to know that its your place. Just as a child needs to respect its parents and dog needs to do the same. Dogs do have what i call ranks. They establish head dominance with other animals. There are little hundreds of signs that this is true. If you're gonna run your mouth maybe know facts first.
No, it absolutely positively is not how you train a dog. That’s how you convince your teen to stay out of the liquor cabinet. If he has had that dog long enough to tell him to sit and lay...then he’s had him long enough to not have to worry about power struggles. If he is, he clearly is a bad owner. Look at that animals elbows, he’s not even providing proper bedding. That’s a disaster in Corso relations and this moron filmed it.
You know what is crazy ? The human being kinda learned how to talk to a dog, the dog behavior, his moves, everything, is related to everything this man is talking, but some people nowadays simply forget this act of the human being, to yell "thats not how you should treat a dog !!" And these people, are the people who pay people like this guy's knowledge on this video to "fix" their dog like a cellphone or something, so their pet can be even prettier on their social media... And they pay good for it
This is awesome. I've taught all my pups from they were little by petting them as they eat, getting them used to my touch. In one case, with my stubborn pup when she was older, she growled (very softly) and was too over protective of her toy/kill. I barked loudly and growled back and then took the toy. (I know lol I tend to speak to my animals in the way they speak to each other). I would then give it back and when reaching for it, just to train her, she drops it or brings it to me and I praise her and then reward her by playing with her or giving her the privacy to gut it. That was just a toy she REAAAAAALLY liked. Usually the best time to start to train pups in this is when they are weeks old 9-12. Bigger dogs can still learn and you handled it FLAWLESSLY.
Where did you learn that you should do that? I mean, whats the point of peting a dog while eating? Whats the point also of growling at your dog? You are just giving a negative reenforcement, soo you are just supressing a behavior, not eliminating it. Its because of people like you that dogs atack. Go inform yourself before teaching something to your dogs, for your own good and the good of the dogs. Dont “train them like you think is right” train them the proper way.
@@areias1994 Petting puppies as they eat and growl at you shows them that growling and aggression won’t stop you from petting them/ being near their food. They learn to accept and be okay with someone in their space when eating. Idk about the growling and snapping at the dog though, I’ve never done it nor needed to
@@areias1994 Point of petting the dog while eating? Well so they aren’t very aggressive around their food because you’re more prone to an attack if you don’t do that. If you don’t get them used to at least a human being around while they’re eating they could easily growl, snap or attack someone. Or hell even a dog. So theirs your duh number 1. Point of growling at a dog? Very fucking easy to explain if you know anything about dog packs. And if you do well then you know dogs all have the dominant dog or person or also in other cases known as the alpha. So you’re showing your dogs you’re basically the alpha in their pack and they better listen. So theirs no suppressing shit here bud. It’s more or less making sure the dog knows you are the dominant one in this relationship. And if it knows and obeys it should at least be treated greatly. Also it’s because of people like you that absolutely know absolute Jack shit that creates more problems in the world with knowledge you pull straight out your ass.
@@maltheri9833 you have no idea how much I know about dogs. But, I understand why you may feel like I am wrong. Maybe you have or had one or more dogs and they look like they felt guilty when they did something wrong. However, they are just reacting to you are acting yourself. My advice for you is to Google whatever informations you feel are wrong before commenting something that is wrong yourself. Please I encourage you to Google my info and don't worry I already forgave you.
@@69yearsago82 the number 1 result from a Google search, "do dogs feel guilty?", is: "The truth is, while there is no scientific evidence that dogs actually feel guilt or shame, there is also no proof that they don't." So I suggest you Google things yourself before discouraging others 😏
Here is a fun fact for both of you y’all both look stupid arguing about what a dog feels or don’t feel. I know for sure that if dogs do feel anything they would definitely feel embarrassed to have either one of you as owners lol come on girls man up
handled it great. corrected the dog and hand fed it to show you’re not the enemy trying to steal it’s food, but the provider of the food. some of the comments have no clue what they’re talking about and i hope they never get a dog like this or they’re gonna have issues.
@@vonjovi4849 Try with cookies and 'positive reinforcement'. Challenge accepted? BTW: watch some clips how mother dog handles puppies... you will change your mind
