i trained blue tick hounds for 3 decades, I've now retired and have moved on to GSD's for home and family protection. You Sir, are an invaluable asset for everything i wish to do. thank you...
I’m a mil handler and trainer and I loved his technique. Bite precision and force are muscles that have as much to do with their mind as with their mouth. 6 more years until I retire and I’m going to start a school and hopefully train hunters. Can’t wait!
Dogs are super easy to work with they handle calm training better than yelling etc. Mine has drive for both prey and guarding but will not really hurt any animal that he doesn't seem a threat or person approaching calmly.
And any dog can be that good I had a pitbull that recused kittens loved other dogs and all people but if you came to my house you had to say hello first to be able to stay around because he had to know you weren't a threat.
Please keep this series going bro. Im looking to get a german shepherd and would love to teach it myself. I find it hard to find someone to train a dog in the UK that won't cost a arm and a leg. Great content you gained a sub 👏 👌
I’m the same man. I enquires at some of the costs of a protection dog here and was amazed. I intended to buy a working line dog and do it myself or hopefully find someone local for sessions?
This was great, thanks, been searching for "german training words german shepherd" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Renogan Zonucas Theorem - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
Many thanks, I have been researching "personal protection training german shepherd" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Renogan Zonucas Theorem - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
We have a puppy bout 4 months been training her a bit but I’m starting to watch some of your videos nd tbh they’ve been helping little by little thanks so much very informative nd calm explained very well
I had an accidental litter of Doberman/Boxer pups and they are so smart and so strong and so eager to learn, it’s absolutely amazing. We have given most the puppies away to family and friends but kept 3 and their progress is really incredible over 7 months. Selective breeding is great but sometimes, you just get lucky.
Awesome video! I had a high drive working Shepherd in Japan a number of years ago that I trained via a mentor. I just got a new DDR pup and am excited to start training him, but have forgotten so much over the last 11 years. Your video is inspiring! Thanks!
I have trained 1740+ dogs and one mini horse in obedience, S&R, lead, mercury, and cancer detection but, I know absolutely nothing about protection training. You are spot on with the philosophical components of dog psychology as far as what I have watched. There are literally 1000's of nuance to training a dog and very few trainers have them; kudo's to you my brother in training.
A well trained dog can exponentially multiply your power in a defense situation, couple this with even a moderate level of firearm training and you will survive 95% of defensive combat.
Captions at 0:30 "my suggestion is in the beginning baptize your puppy a couple of times" Honestly she does seem to have a little devil in her... hope this works 👍👍😂😂😂
Can I do this training my self or do I need a helper or decoy? I’ve been told I can’t do this type of work as the handler as it could damage my relationship with my dog. Is that true?
It ought my dog how to guard with my own methods (using cows) so let the dog bark at something then reward then after a few times add the command “guard”
It’s better to find someone the dog never meet and let them aggravate it and make it aggressive then if you use someone the dog knows and recognizes the secnt then that dogs most likely goin hate them idk wth he’s doing it looks more of playing don’t trust this video
Great video, I’ve noticed my Carpathian Shepherd puppy has a natural guardian instinct more than other dogs I’ve had. Will try and see how he does with this introduction.
I have a Shep Rot. And this dog, I'll tell ya. Guards with her life. The do not's, walk up from behind, go near the car with us in it, come to the front door, walk in are house or property period, there is a slew of thing's. My wife and I trained her. But, she is so Loving and caring and funny. She just turned 2 this past May. We have had her since she was about.......3 months or so. She is 78pounds and all muscle. Extremely, extremely, fast!
The guy: explaining how to start and what to do at first when you are training a puppy. The puppy in the back: THIS 🙄 STUPID 🤬👽 CHAIN 🔗🤖 GET 🔙✨ OFF 🚫 OF MY 😒👻 PAW 🐾🤒
Hi, can you show various approach patterns like offering side view or back to train a more defensive puppy not to trigger defense drive please. It will be useful.
Thank you for the wonderful, and very educational video. I have a new German Shepherd pup, now 10 weeks. I haven't watched the entire video yet so maybe you will comment on this subject before it ends, but my question is". "At what age do you think it most advantageous to begin personal protection training?" Thanks again for everything. -christy
Hello! My question is, are dogs who are trained to do this such as German Shepherds. Can they be stranger friendly as well. Are they only trained to do this in particular cases and do they learn who they can do this too vs the general public. Meaning if I wanted to get a German shepherd to socialize them really well to be able to go anywhere or be friendly to anyone who wants to great them going out walks etc. In this cause would this training hinder that, is this something you would only want to teach your service working dog or for protection purposes on a dog who isn’t expected to interact with the public? If you let them see strangers as pack members rather than threats?
Do you think protection training is appropriate for my situation: I want a companion but also a dog that can sense when I am in danger or I can communicate I feel unsafe. I do happen to be a woman living in a big city and I would like my dog to be friendly and approachable in the neighborhood and at dog parks but who can also protect me if I am in danger. I do NOT want my dog to perceive everything as a threat though if that makes sense
Hi, my question is regarding to future: I have small dog Cavalier King Charles and I am thinking about getting also a German Shepherd it’s bc 1) I always wanted one 2) A dog that can protect the house and my dog as well, let me be clear I don’t just use the dog as security guard ofc I would like to take care German shepherd and doing necessary things such as exercise and care but, I also make sure the two of the dog(King Charles and German Shepherd) get along as well like brothers
Really nice,. i have a dog thats 2 now, and i taught him good not to bite to hard on humans. Result he does not bite hard on anything. Sometimes he chases stuff and when he gets there he simply pick it up , chakes it one time then drop it. If i ever try to just calmly hold it for him to fight a bit over the toy he just lets go. Would you say this is usable to get a better grip? and get the dog motivated to hold on and use praydrive to focus harder.
The bite grip depends on the breed and age of the dog, as a puppy they're still getting the hang of it. It may be due to you not making it interesting enough for the dog to want to engage, hints not very good grip bites, and lack of interest (if there is any). If thats the problem try a different toy, or make the activity seem fun. It shouldn't take long for a 'good bite' to come in. Puppies have strong (and sharp) yet weak teeth, so till theyre more mature i guess you wont exactly get a great bite out of them lol. Honestly depends on the breed and if they enjoy working or not. A year late but thought id still comment incase anyone else needs an answer.🤷♂️
You do this type of exercise until the puppy is consistent. It could take a few days to a few weeks. But once they are getting strong consistent bites, it’s time to move on.
No verbal cue at the full bite grip? And no verbal cue to release the rag? How many sessions a week at that age do you work them? We have a 10week old long haired German Shepherd. I’m interested in learning more, thank you.
I may have been taught wrong years ago. I thought (was taught) the dog should be allowed to eventually win with toy released given to dog? Then restart training exercise. Was I taught wrong?
This guy has made up all his own systems of stuff that is actually done and things he is making himself. That’s why he shows everything on RU-vid for free. NO ONE else does this because it’s irresponsible to show random ass people who have dogs to teach them this shit for free. Any Joe shmo who boys a pit bull and goes oh look cool I can make it aggressive and bite 🤦🏼♂️
Awesome video, very educational! I'm just wondering, could I use a harness instead of a collar? I would be a bit scared not to hurt their neck if the puppy was very drivey towards the rag.
If you lure them to the object they should remain relatively taut on the line. If the anchor point is high up, it will also reduce how hard the dog can lunge for an object. If you watch the video, you can see the puppy lunge at the rag to the sides and it sort of swings wide and turns rather than going straight on, and stopping abruptly. Which is what could cause damage. Nothing wrong with wanting to look out for the welfare of your animals, or being considerate of their inexperience.
New sub here, not planning on getting a dog , however it’s good to know what to look for in a trainer if ever and just have a little knowledge ... 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
If you shouldn't do this when a dog is teething, do you have to wait until they lose all their baby teeth & their permanent teeth come in, around 6 months iirc?
Question, I am new to this I just paid my deposit on a puppy. I want to compete with my dog, how much do I do this excerise with my puppy? Daily? For how much time?
awwww shes so cute!!!! look at that tail wagging. This may sound like a silly question but how do you guys know if the dog is enjoying the work? Do you force dogs to do work training if they don't enjoy working?
Shepherds love work. It’s instinct with them. They need the challenge. Awesome breed! Sweet and mellow also! Yes, I have a 6 year old! Best family breed ever! They Love children and cats! Protective by nature.
I can see so many people doing this incorrectly. I think people don't monitor their own emotions when training - if you're stressed or tired, don't train. Be patient. People aren't consistent but expect the dog to be.
hello Haz,,when my pup does bitework like this or play tug with me....when he bites, he flops dead leg and hung himself while biting,...how can i possibly fix this? TIA,.she is 5 months now, started this problem since he is 2 months....😄
