How to Correct a Hard Headed Dog 

I've got an American Bull dog. This is the third one that I have owned. They ALL have that stubborn streak! They are very food motivated though, so that helped a little. The thing I worked on the most is recall with my dogs. As hard as it was, I NEVER call them to me to punish them. If I need to discipline them, I go to where they are and get them. The "come" command has only good connotations for them with me...Food or love. That worked well. They eventually came to listen to ME like Marines, but my wife was a different story....

1 get a leash get a collar 2 build confidence 3 do the best possible with communicating 4 everyday till listening starts

Man your work, examples, how you treat and raise your dogs are phenomenal.

I like this guy.. He's gotta a gift and understands dog psychology like a Ceaser Milan !

I just got an XL bully after having a micro bully fir a long time , your videos are helping me understand my dog more so i can be a better bully owner🔥

YESSSSSSS! consistency is the MAIN agenda of the training game. I am terrible with my Bully/Herding canine and keeping the training schedule up. I have spent money on outside trainers. I learned it does not stick, unless I stay consistent. She knows when that collar is off its ACTING out time.🤣Thanks for the reminder.

Don’t forget the power of positive affirmation..GOOD DOG, Good Boy . Followed by treats when possible

Thanks for this honest & practical advice. My bully breed boy (also more terrier) has this same stubborn attitude. I've probably also let him get away with too much. He listens so well...but only when he feels like it. I definitely have more work to do too. Mine is almost 3yrs now. I've worked with him everyday since 3 months. I also need him to listen better. I feel better after seeing you here. Thanks!

Love how we are admitting here that WE need to do more work when they being blockheads!! I’d always say my girl KNEW what I was saying she just didn’t feel like doing it :))

cool vid. My strategy is i say down 1 time, he dont listen I take the leash and pull him down to down position. my expearience repeating yourself make the dog choose when he wants to go down.

Man i seen alot of people on training dogs...but you are so detail...u talk about how he knows better.....and what to do ...but u said you as his owner and trainer u must do better....you very detailed and good whst u do please keep posting so of your video..... Excellent job

I just tried this for the first time with my GSD/Pitbull mix and it worked fast asf 😭 I appreciate you sm bro

That dog is such a nice dog. He will be a great family member for many years.

Beautiful dog! thank you for sharing

Hardheaded dogs are awesome. Solid points bro. Good bless💪🏻

Thanks for the tips, and your sense of humor makes me want to visit your channel more!

I'm a army infantryman veteran, and I love this guy, I love dogs, and I love what he's doing and I'm proud of him,,, I was wondering if I could get a service dog from him,, I'm not a people person, I'm from Texas Born and raised,, I will definitely think about this young man service,keep up the good work,, looking forward to meeting him and maybe after all said an done 👍🏽 get me a companion dog, therapy,or service dog,,

You seem Extremely knowledgeable came across your videos today there great

OMG...I needed this...working on down with my pup and he's so stubborn....he don't know my patience is tough Thanks

Thanks I needed this my bully about to be 2 and he just hardheaded too

i like how you explain this thank

Randomly commenting cause your vid randomly popped into my feed lol. Beautiful doggo! Very good info as well. G'day to you

Finally got my male to start my line, going back to watch all the videos to put him through the academy lol

Love your Chanel man

Your videos be right on time. Keep it up brotha. ✊🏾

i used a co2 bike tire air pump. he would instantly calm and listen to me. the sound of the air. worked great with my American akita serbian rottie mix. he loved to jump on people to greet them. only thing that worked was the sound of the air pump. i did everything else . he would get so wound up he wouldn't listen. ..but i squeeze the lil air pump he's like huh... lol... worked like a charm. after a few weeks of corrections... problem solved. he's so big lol. i had to find a way to get him to pay attention. he's 10 months old as of yesterday n already 127 pounds of muscle...

I got Canadian Inuit dogs. You can see the drive in that dogs eyes. That's a good dog. I'm a big fan of the stubborn self driven dog mind. If the dog is logically once you get them thinking it's logically a good idea to do your expectation super reliable

A half choke collar works as well, treats an praise work long term. All 3 together 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 but it needs to be consistent training in the early stages

Bless up❤

MY BOY I ANT GONE LIE I NEVER RESPECTED THESE DOGS UNTIL I SEEN YOU WORK WITH THEM IVE ALWAYS BEEN A TRADITIONAL PITBULL TERRIER. But bravo I like yo work fam

Solid video bro !!

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ You. But You know Your Stuff man

My pitbull is just like a kid he loves to be loved he protects his brother my kids🤭 he listens he knows when he's done something wrong he will look at you like nope I didn't do it nnhe will walk away he hates showers he here's kids say time to shower he will get on top of the bed. 🤭🤭🤭 I'm assuming he knows he's part of the family n he's always included with the family activities n cats activities ☺️☺️☺️

good info...and you a funny dude🤣🤣🤣

I taught my bully sit, down, heel and stay at 11 weeks old, she is now almost 8 months old, you need consistency training. There's a dew days that I would skip training and she starts to act stubborn but knows exactly what to do. Consistency

Where do you get the gold chain collar for your American bully?

Man I think I seen u in little elm…great vids keep it up

Which collar to use when starting to train a American bully puppy?

How do you teach your dogs recall? Appreciate the video too💯

My xl Wrath is the same way

Your videos are amazing and thank God they are free!!

Excellent Video 💯✔️✔️ Had Rottweilers when I was younger, then got all into the true APBT for a good while.. LOVE & RESPECT what that breed is all about… Purchased my 1st American Bully with heavy APBT influence… he’s 14 weeks … and I’m all about it!! Appreciate what ya do 🙏🏼🙏🏼

He’s magnificent 😍 Can you recommend some dog toys for a 2 year old bully?

What brand of dog collar do you use?

Just beautiful but I need to ask, is the leash around his neck tight because it looks tight and the vets stated to be careful of leashes around animals neck due to doing harm.

Gd job thx alot

Understanding your dogs traits. The terrier influence is cool. Also so much harder to train. My female had her pups on Jan 1st. All vets were closed and the pups were breached. The runt came out first. The other 3 were breached. Everything was closed. The runt Passed after 4 days. We lost them all. I feel so bad for Ciri. Her first litter.

No longer have nipping problems, I just want to know how to get rid of his prey response around cats or if that’s possible at all. Chestnut a pocket bully that I’m training/pet sitting

Love watching the right mindstate of training, currently im in a situation with a relative who is intentionally training our 1 1/2 yr old pit wrongfully out of jealously.. some ppl jus shouldnt own certain things in life

That's exactly how my Grady is. He's only 3 1/2 months. He is a trainable puppy, but after a while, he gets defiant and vocal. I admit that when he gets " mouthy," it's kind of funny, and I'll laugh. Probably sending mixed emotions.

Great content brother

Wow those are 2 very handsome fellas👀😊

One thing to remember is to ALWAYS praise when they do what you want. Do it immediately and make it overwhelmingly sweet if you must. But ONLY if they do what you say. It helps them go "so that's what you want me to do?" Much faster

I am working with my son's bully. She's scared of everything and she's too big for that. Looking forward to learning more on how to handle her.

Love this video. Know of any places in Florida that allow American bullies for when you go on vacation all places say no and I don’t get why mine is great listener for being only 16 months old. I really don’t want leave him behind I want to have fun with him on the beach. 😢

I like this title

Wont a choke chain work better ?

What collar is that you use?

Please give us more about training them. Cause lord knows mines hard headed

Great freaking video

Bro, what kind of leash/ collar you recommend?

Hahaa he's a beast he's amazing he actually reminds me of you, that's a good thing bye way

how about using a prone collar ?

that collar is a miracle i trained my dog from about 3 months. the dogs hate the collar so much they play flag football if u throw a ball to them they going for the collar everytime..peace to my boy jt

Is the collar better than the harness?

We have 2 American bullys that are now 6 months, and our male is gets distracted easy but tries to he a good boy, the female is hard headed but pays more attention

Gotta love dogs is that a xl bully

Great channel. Always great at explaining and dropping jewels

Can you mix a brindle pitbull with a Merle pitbull

Keep making the bully breed better brother 💪

I have an American staffshire terrier and she knows what I’m asking of her but she just don’t want to. She test me like a lil child will do it’s mother, she listens to my husband more than she would to me. Any advice cause she’s my pup she just turned 1

How long have you been working on him? Age ? Background?

Good

My 11 month old did so well when he was 6-8 months, after that, he act like he cant listen. Do positive reinforcement with treats, but he loses focus easily. I'm a try this collar technique now.

Best looking bullies hands down. My next bully will come from you..... Hopefully

My favorite part was his spot on druski impression

I think the dog gives respect with eye contact. He’s not hard headed. He’s just not yet fully understood or figured out what you were saying.

Ego is one handsome horse.

That’s a tuff puppy

What type of toys are you using my gsd baby is eating through everything except kongs 😂 I need a tougher rope for him

I got a 5 month old Pit and I decided to not do any physical discipline on her. She is Definitely spoiled bc I let her get away with a lot of stuff. Funny thing is, I know she understands my commands. She is just choosing to ignore me. 😄 (Just like he said). In the past I would foolishly hit my dogs but now, after dealing with so many "dog dumb" @$$ human beings, I know that that is just abuse. If you shower your dog with affection and attention on the regular, then your tone of voice, your vibe and your depriving them of pets and attention is enough discipline. (Pushing the meal or snack time back a little bit can also work on stubborn dogs as long as you communicate what you're dissatisfied with right before you send them on their way without a bite - DON'T starve them) The main reason I don't do physical discipline is bc I don't want to shake her confidence and teach her defeat. I also, don't want to betray her trust. Respect is good but trust is everything and certain moments can make a relationship irreparable. I Love my lil b.

I don’t think you ever need a pronged collar. My Presa mix, alpha of his litter, was/is super hardheaded but now does everything I say/signal, walks without leash, everything. Proper treat training(you start with a treat, petting, and excitement every time. You quickly begin to reduce treats given until zero but always have one and be consistent with the petting and excitement) and good timely 2 finger poke to the ribs with your choice of word from when they’re a puppy. After months of consistency no more poke and the word has the same effect. Main thing is to never let them do something as a puppy because it’s cute or innocent that you don’t want them to do as a big ass dog. He doesn’t seem to be using it wrong but it can easily be misused and like he said when it’s removed they think freedom sometimes. I got mind control over mine.

Nice dog & skill training bro, I'm subscribing

I would like to know like you do 😂😂😂

Beautiful dog ❤I hate his cropped ears though

Where are you located

Using the right tools and not so much luring would help

Awesome tips. Im going to start breeding soon and and this is a good reminder of the process and to be patient and love your dog.

Ego is so 😍

🔥💯🔥

HOW DO I BUILD UP MY DAWGS CONFIDENCE??? PLEASE

It’s funny how you don’t have to tell him twice to bite something, probably because it’s rewarding for him to do what he naturally wants to do, and to tell him to lay down it’s like telling a kid to go to bed at noon. Lol

Bruh this is my dog right now and I let him get away with a lot when he was younger and now he’s a lil over a year and he acts just like this. But when we’re out in public he acts perfectly fine and people think he’s so well behaved. But at home he’s a total asshat (without his leash and harness on) I’m gonna start doing this everyday for a couple weeks and see how it goes. Thanks for the video!
