True story..my dog is shy doesn't let people pet him you might think he is scared of you..but if you dare to come near my apartment he is all over you you wouldn't believe its the same dog.
Only a fool would think you’re afraid of dogs 😂. You have done an amazing job building a relationship with this dog. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
I have loved seeing Mace's progress. I've learned so much from watching you and listening to you. I bet Mace is so glad he met you, someone who really understands him.
Wow ,that didn't take long !! Your being cautious means you're experienced !!! Has nothing to do with being scared.??..Dont listen to the stupid comments... He's a REALLY nice dog !! Happy that he's working out so well for you ! You sound so excited !!! Love your energy and enthusiasm...cant wait to see Mase next week !! 😊
My dutch shepherd was the same way. He thought he was tough shit when he arrived at our house - would try and bite the humans and dogs through the crate - but softened pretty quickly and ended up being a very loving dog. And this was just a pet dog that we adopted with very little drive, so I can only imagine the intensity of a serious working dog like Mace. I think it boils down to the insecurity involved with being in a new home.
Love this series. Seeing the trust between you & Mace grow with each video is amazing to see. Excited to see the progression between you two and obedience & bite work. Great video 😚💖
Wow I'm really impressed with your training with him he has come a long way he needs a good trainer like you to teach him keep up the good work God bless you
Excellent job,he actually trusts you now a bit and wants to work...Stable behavior in work too....the netherland “conqueror” types are a breed of handlers that started 40-50 years ago and probably will never go away,they are not in any breeders top fav list at all and thats enough said...keep up the good work
He has all the positive attributes of the breed , he truly is a great specimen. With your ability as a breeder, and if you decided to breed him (hint, hint) it would help bring up the quality of the Dutch Shepherd 💪
Awesome video. Love these Mace videos. And I love the being careful of cars analogy you use. No trainer worth their salt would push smarts and safety aside just to walk into a cage with a dog that’s showing aggression towards them
BIG SUGGESTION: Bro don’t feel like you need to explain yourself regarding dog training. I can’t think of someone who puts up as many, real time observations, as you do. Your experience, respect, and understandings of these caliber dogs + being actually uploaded to the public via RU-vid is something special. You give out information in a way that is real and easy to understand. No need to address the people who just hate any longer. Thanks for the effort.
Ha, be less humble and use more compulsion right from go says the guy who’s never been ripped up handling a real badass. You’ve done a great job with him! The respect between dog and handler is clearly mutual. Very cool!
Lol spme dogs are food driven, some dogd ball driven, Mase is Bote driven lol bite bite bite love to bite lol beautiful dog glad he is friendly now enoyed it
Do you see Mace sticking around? My corso Drago has a similar story in terms of being super reactive of certain things because of lack of exposure to them, and I got him at 1 1/2 years old. He's 22 months now and I couldn't imagine him being rehomed again, to anyone.
Top video as always Haz, I'm curious to why you want less twisting during biting? You said to conserve energy but I encourage it with my mal , my thinking is if he ever had to do it for real he's gunna do more damage in a shorter amount of time. Would like to hear your thoughts on that and why it isn't preferable. First time working dog owner you've helped me a lot sir. Thank you.
What did those critical people want you to do? Mace looked like he would've gone after you for real and a serious dog bite isn't a joke, it's not gonna leave you with just some scratches.
Oh my!!!! I wouldn't call it fear...I'd call it having a healthy respect for the animal and what it could potentially do. And as far as female handlers go.... I'm not stupid and know when I am out muscled and realize the dog is too much dog for me. I have nothing to prove.
I thought all Dutch Shepherds were brindle. Is there brindle in his coat that just isn't coming through in the video? Just curious I'm really enjoying this series on Mace btw!
In KNPV if the dog is a square-built dog with a dark brown coat with any black besides the face and has a longer muzzle and erect ears it’s a Dutch Shepherd. It wasn’t until the early 1900s when the Chien De Berger Beige and GSDs came over to the Netherlands did the Dutch Shepherd get a standard. So since they didn’t have genetic testing back then if the dog wasn’t brindle or adjacent coloring it would get registered as a Malinois, Groenendael, Laekenois, or Tervuren. So anyways because of that and the fact that the Dutch didn’t have much money (WW1/WW2 furthered the poverty) many mixed breeds were in KNPV ‘cause people either couldn’t afford to register the dogs or simply couldn’t afford a purebred in the first place. So while IGP was formed as a means of testing purebred GSDS, KNPV was the opposite. It was largely unregistered dogs/registered dogs with minimal proof they were the breed they were registered as and purely used as a means of testing a working dog instead of simply testing and registering one singular purebred dog breed. (I know the punctuation stank in that and it was a lot more information than necessary, so sorry ‘bout that)
These dogs are looking less and less Dutch, he should be brindle, he should be smaller, his snout is too square. I dont know why they insist on calling them Dutch. When you see a true Dutch you know it, also they have no rear dew claw...the true sign of a Dutchie! I wonder what they are crossing in with these dogs for the size?
