As a german this british humor is just hilarious 😂 Wish people here would be more like Graham. Serene, calm , never rude , funny and absolutely in control. Bravo 👏
British humor is THE best. Highly verbally clever and self-deprecating. The masters of laughing-with vs. laughing-at (the latter would be the French, whose humor is almost entirely take-down).
@@jillhargrave-george4510 It's cruel - it's literally cutting off a piece of the dog's spine - and limits how the dog can communicate to those around it. What does it matter if it looks "better? compared with that?
HAD show quality dobermans for 45 yrs. they are INTENSE, loyal, elegant, athletic, INTELLIGENT dogs that love their people! but you HAVE to be the boss of them right from the start. DONT let them on the furniture and make them behave! and have ROUND door handles not bar handles. if u merely want a cuddly dog and not b the boss of the dog, then dont get a doberman.
it's not the sitting on the furniture that is the issue - it's the fact that they need to be aware that they're only allowed there with permission and can be sent off whenever you tell them to.
Why do people get working breeds, high energy dogs, without the intent to work with these dogs? Doberman: working dog. Spaniel: working dog. French bulldog: got working dogs at their genetics.
How on earth could you let this go on for so long with Arnie????? How ignorant!!! This dog will end up biting you, if you let him be the boss! Anybody with a Doberman, Rottweiler, shepherd bull dog, great dane and more should go to training school! So we can avoid DISASTERS FROM HAPPENING!
Because castration doesn’t solve what is training issues! This comes down to the owners not setting boundaries! Castration is easy money for a vet and a potential lifetime of issues for the dog after! Specially when it’s being done on dogs far too young!
I’ll say it again dysfunctional people raise dysfunctional families, how can you marry someone and have a family with someone who can’t discipline? It’s confusing.
Why is it that there isn't a course in commonsense before people are allowed to get a dog? If you dont have control of your dog it should be on a lead. But at the very least if your dog is jumping on people you grab it by the collar and pull it away and keep it away. Whining its name over and over again is teaching your dog to ignore you. And you are disrespecting every person your dog assaults. Rule of thumb (for people with self respect) If you wouldn't do it to a person, then nor should your puppy, because that is where it starts. If you wouldn't let a big dog do it, then why in hell are you letting a little dog do it??? But the biggest part (and sadly we do it to our kids too) is forgetting to reward when they're being good, doing nothing, or a pat when they're sound asleep. If we all used positive reinforcement throughout our day wouldn't the world be a happier place and wouldn't our pets and children thrive?
There's such a pattern here--not unlike that in Supernanny. Owners, like parents, need to establish dominance while also rewarding good behavior. Most of these owners yell "don't" and think dogs can understand complex sentences, instead of seriously saying "NO," giving consequences (less so) and rewarding the good behavior (works better than with kids). Don't be a buddy, be an adult--especially to puppies and dominant breeds. And STOP encouraging the breeding of doodles, who are congenitally defective in temperament and health! The very originator of these crossbreeds says he regrets doing it.
