Please stop insulting the handler. She did the right thing by bringing the dog to us. Insulting her for not knowing how to train a dog is like me insulting you for not knowing how to change your cars oil. It's disrespectful.
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ru-vid.comUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
there’s really something that bothers me about people who own massive powerful dogs and don’t dedicate serious time and effort into training them properly. Good on this owner for trying to learn.
It's even worse when tiny women like in this video buy dogs who probably weight more than them. A reactive dog is bad, it's embarrassing and prevents the owner from having an enjoyable experience. A reactive dog that can pull you around like a stuffed toy on the end of a rope is a serious threat to the safety and liberty of others and a hazard to their owner. I understand the desire for small women to get big dogs to feel safe but honestly your dog is more likely to drag you face first into pavement, or run you into the path of a car then it is going to scare off a mugger.
Bit late? 🤣🤣🤣 In the short session we saw the dog has already improved leaps and bounds. If the owner keeps at it she'll have the dog's total respect and confidence in no time then her size won't even be a question/concern. I've seen small women handling ovcharkas and kengals and they're f-uckn massive. He's just a big ol' good boy who needs calm guidance and boundaries. F-uckn love Rotties. 🖤💛🖤💛 (closest color I got to tan; 😂)
I absolutely loved that this owner actually came for help it is really good she came and got the help He is educating her doesn’t mean she is any less of an owner
Even though she doesn't have training knowledge for this dog, I'm super impressed that she had a good grip on that dog :) big dogs are so powerful but she held him back nicely.
7:29 was my favorite moment. The dog makes eye contact with the owner who then points to the puppy. The dog's attention IMMEDIATELY shifts to the puppy and becomes more curious. Prime example of leading behavior
Listen to a real dog pro ! " He's not aggressive; he's afraid " is correct. He explains it very well. Watch him release his left hand at about 5:30 as the dog starts to follow him. He feels why ! A reactive, strong dog with an apologetic and timid small handler looks very familiar. This is why many dogs are destroyed or abandoned in shelters. The woman has the dog muzzled and is hiring a pro rehabber to help the dog.
Seriously! I just saw news that one of these dogs bit an owners kid! It’s sad. People want these dogs and expect them to learn commands without correct training and educating themselves on caring for these type of dogs!
I am a trainer and I have over 4 rotties and all very well trained, only one is aggressive but well trained because of his genes!!! We didn’t know that his relatives were breaded for fighting because the breaded lied to me!!
They call it puppy kindergarten but it's really dog ownership 101. I thought they really made a lot of progress for a first session. That's a very bright dog. The owner picked it up quickly as well. Now it's all about consistency and building on the progress. Nice vid!
Thats the sign of a nervous owner..... I had a rottie for 10yrs & the only person she had a problem with was the postman but she protected my wife & 5 kids perfectly
Yes a Rottie should know the difference between a threat and a friend and should only act protectively, they should never show fear, this dog was poorly bred and has a weak temperament. My uncle had three, great dogs!
Rottweilers I love I am thinking about getting a Rottweiler puppy and get a good trainer to help me out cuz its going to take lots of work but well worth having a Rottweiler well behaved and a gentle giant and only knows when its right to protect if commanded or they Alert me for good reasons ...but still have a Rottweiler that is chill relaxed is a good thing and they make a great friend
This is truly fascinating, the change he made in one single session, after meeting this dog for the first time... I know this is hard work but at this point he just seems gifted 😂
First I'd like to get out of the way that I think this trainer is amazing, and is providing a service that could help save lives of dogs who have been anything from neglected to just mismanaged by their family who had all the best intentions. I really am not qualified enough to answer about the methods or technique, but he seems calm, he treats the dog and owner with respect. It might be a bit stand-offish at first to be that OBVIOUSLY relaxed but that obviously has a purpose even if it'd take me a bit by surprise maybe. But I imagine that doesn't just help with the dog, it helps with anxious people etc. The main thing I want to comment on, and that is: You have NO IDEA how a dog or owner of said dog, ended up in the situation they are in. You have NO CLUE if SHE did this to this dog, or if she adopted him from a shelter, found it and offered to take it etc, and realized the dog needed training cos it's nervous, and now she's having her looks (I see you weird wanks down there, fucking goofy) and her personality torn apart by people in this comment section. And I LOVE animals too, more than people in fact, so like, to everyone who feels upset by this, I GET you. I can't watch any content online where an animal is facing the most benign of difficulties or is being slightly inconvenienced without weeping and I'd never hurt an animal in my life, but I've been on the receiving end of this shit too. I once FOUND a dog (a gorgeous Staffordshire Bull terrier) running lose on the streets who was an absolute angel, but that had clearly not been well taken care of and was not well trained at all, all though not aggressive, just rough when playing. When she got closer I noticed she had red, irritated skin, blood and pus in her ears. I tried to look around for an owner or a yard she might have come from for about 1 hour, where I also called the police non-emergency line AND asked around in the neighbourhood if anyone knew the dog before I literally carried this 19KG dog home 1KM WHILE WEARING HIGH HEELS not to brag.. I took her home and discovered more scabs, bald patches and blood in her fur etc and a ton of general filth and grime on her. Gave her a bath and I then started looking for phone numbers for anyone I could think of to take the dog cos I had no food, no doggie bed, no leash, nothing. Everyone refused to take her so in desperation I took the shoulder strap off a leather handbag and jimmy-rigged a leash and took her to a vet to check for microchips and figure out what to do with her. I was waiting for the vet to have a window to see me without an appointment outside when a couple came up to me and TORE ME A NEW ONE about the "State of your dog" etc. To say that this was humiliating would be an understatement but it FUCKING HURT. Like I ADORE animals. If I accidentally make my current pets think they're about to get a treat even though they're not, then I give them a treat because otherwise my bad conscience will end me. I cook them fresh veggies, meat, give them fresh fruit while I eat ramen for dinner bitch, and I take my pets to the vet every few months for general check-ups, or "just to be sure", not just when they're sick, do you really think that I'd let an animal walk around with an ear infection for so long that they got pus coming out of their ear canal? I'd rather eat a bowl of paperclips and die thank you, so please don't come at me with that, and please don't come at this lady like that. She MAY be a clueless person who's caused damage to her animal, in which case YER A WANKER LADY but at least you're doing the right thing NOW. But like, she might also not be literally Hitler (some of y'all need to chill, or, lets me honest, be institutionalized, Like no Mary, she shouldn't be tortured to death for being a bad pet owner), and might be doing exactly what she's supposed to, so please, I imagine you'd like the courtesy of someone not believing you a bad person and giving you a chance if you were in that situation, so please try to offer that kindness to other people too.
Incredible good work for both the dog and the owner. The trainer is also REALLY good. The poor lady couldn't speak doggo but she quickly understood how to manage her big puppy.
it's always a beautiful thing when you help someone understand that it takes very little effort to help a dog want to "just be with you". I've helped many people do "very little" but have such a massive impact on the dog. I have 2 Anatolian Shepherds so I had to make sure to socialize and help them understand the difference between acceptable and "crazy" behavior. if the owner understands why and what the dog is doing it is usually pretty easy to correct and see such a massive improvement. it is so rewarding to see the little effort generally needed to get the desired results great work guys!!!
Ive got a dog reactive Rottie. With my girl it's definitely fear / insecurity / genetics. Irrespective of how the reactivity starts, once the handler also becomes nervous, it hard to break out the loop. I've never been a nervous handler and had dogs all my life but once your dog has kicked off a few times and hurt other dogs, that can rub off on the handler and make them nervous, anticipating it will happen again. Of course the dog picks up on that and it continues with dog and handler feeding stress to each other and it does happen again. I've had people say it's the owner. In a way yes it is...but it's like chicken and egg, what came 1st
This is why training the human is important as it is training the dog...Rottweilers are gentle giants and great protectors when trained right and the person also is training to be strong as a pack leader
I would love to see more sessions with this dog. He is the SAME as my lab rescue. I'd love to learn how to introduce my dog to our friends and their dogs.
im having the issue with my rescued mic German and where I live its really difficult finding a trainer that will work with me in helping my dog become less scared of his surrounding and with communicating with other people and dogs hoping to learn here on RU-vid hope it works out with you :D
Part of dog training is respecting the dog you have. Sometimes you'll have a dog that you CANNOT introduce to other dogs and that's ok. It's ok to try and train it, but if the dog is not dog friendly there's only so far you can go and it's not worth risking others dogs
I’d love to see more sessions too! My girl is the same and it makes me anxious when new people come over 😅 I don’t like people thinking my dogs aggressive when she’s just very scared
Please dear god don’t punish a reactive dog. If you having difficulty controlling your reactive dog see a FORCE FREE BEHAVIORIST. Yes he is right in the fact the dog is fearful however we don’t train a reactive dog to be less scared by punishment. To change your dogs emotional response to something you make seeing it positive not negative.
@@tiffanypagillo2409 He didn't "punish the dog for reacting", he took control before he had time to react and redirected his attention before he crossed his threshold of tolerance. It's all about timing; stopping the fear from building too much and that is exactly what he's doing here. Besides, that's hardly a punishment, it's simply a correction for pulling on the leash. My dog is too sensitive to consider prongs, but we don't need it because a slip on worked wonders with him. It's all about what is needed to gain control; the dog clearly isn't hurting.
This was such a great video!! My dog needs a lot of training. She is a 5 year old pit bull and she is constantly in a state of over excitement. I’m very active with her but her brain never seems to go into a calm state of mind. I’ve been taking her to training classes and it’s a lot of work!!
I could tell this guy was just afraid of things when he first had his leash handed off. Really felt that deep down I wanted to just pet him lol. I know good and well that isn’t the right thing to desensitize, but I can’t help but feel like comforting these big babies.
This is super effective and so easy to put into practice, I honestly believe if this method is applied you can get a difficult dog improved in days...this dog literally improved in minutes. So good to see.
that dude is a crock of shit please don't listen to anything Cesar says. Even if he says something right once in a blue moon it might give off the impression he's an expert or knows what he's talking about.
@@williamalva2826 Depends on what you mean by that. If you mean pushing the dog down that dog will start fearing you and 5 years down the line they'll get tired of it and will maul you. The dog should respect, not fear/hate you. Positive reinforcement is where it's at. Don't bully the dog into submission. I feel like some guys who get these dogs want to live out some alpha nonsense power fantasy because they have no control of anything else in life. That usually ends up in tragedy because these guys end up realizing blunt force does not lead to a well behaved dog but one that attacks everyone including them and will end up dropping the poor dog off at the pound where they will be put down due to their anti-social behavior that forced submission leads to (you can't force submission only earn it).
I love how easily the trainer was able to immediately identify what was wrong. I love dogs, but only had one as a kid, but we were bad owners. She was a wonderful lab mix. Just the friendliest, most loving dog, but rambunctious. We didn't have the time, knowledge or way to gain it to train her fully. We ended up giving her to my best friends family after we moved, and she thrived. I'm glad there are more resources out there nowadays and places like this. Good on this woman for recognizing what needed to be done and taking actions to remedy it.
That was amazing! I think I learn more about dog behaviour and mentality in the lsat 9 and half minutes that I have my whole life. I really enjoyed that. Well done mate!
Good reasons why to have a awesome trainer to help out.....I'm thinking about getting a Rottweiler puppy and I'll get a good trainer to help me out cuz its hard work but well worth it and a Rottweiler well behaved and a gentle giant as a friend is all I want
Kudos to the owner for taking the step to get training. It was the hardest step for me because there's a pride/embarrassment factor of needing help. My dog is still insecure but nowhere near the level before training.
Thank you so much for your videos and your advices, my dog was abused before I got her and is now 7. I had never found someone just saying "that is not being agressiv, that's just insecurity". She does the same long bark that this dog did at the beginning, I really hope that there's gonna be a part 2 of this video :)
FINALLY! SOME HOPE! I really need to see you guys. We need your help. We have a rottweiler with really bad aggression issues. I was told the only trainer that could help me was out in California and we will need to put him down because of his size and how aggressive he is. He got me good this week, I have a fractured wrist. I am not settling with he's better off dead. I'm contacting you on Monday, praying you can hope us.
So informative! I love your videos and as we prepare for a dog next year picking up these tips will be crucial since we are looking into a large breed and want to make sure we build trust and confidence when they are small! My fiancé says I’m going a little too in depth because I told him I want to look for a puppy with those key behaviors you spoke about in a video about puppy selection! 🤣 Either way I’m definitely bringing a little food, a toy and something that makes a loud noise so we can pick based on behavior and temperament rather than color or ‘just a feeling’. 👏🏻
So I was about to write how impressed I was with the woman for being caring enough to 1) keep the dog that seemed aggressive when most would turn it over to a shelter or something and 2) seek what appears to be amazing advice in my opinion...then I read that people were actually insulting her. If you found yourself insulting this woman for getting help to solve a problem and keep her dog that is probably a big sweetheart at this point...then you have a problem. Good on her and good on the instructor. He was blunt and straight forward without being condescending and babying her. That's what a good instructor does.
Well said Shield K9. And let me add more insight as a woman who has owned 3 extremely well mannered and well trained rotties in the past, among other guardian type breeds. I mention the rotts simply because it's a rott in the video and some are criticizing her for getting one. My last rott was an oversized 28 inches and 139.6 lbs at euthanasia/cremation for bone cancer. Too early neutering caused the extra size and two ACL surgeries, but that's another lesson learned. All trained and raised identically but at separate times as they were owned consecutively versus simultaneously. All unrelated bloodlines and AKC registered. Well after last Rottie passed, I got an unregistered GSD. Thinking I'm an older woman and GSD will weigh at least 40pct less than Rottie. I don't think any of my neighbors, different vets (who actually have complimented my dogs for their manners), friends or strangers who met me and my rotts would have in any way considered me inexperienced or feel I shouldn't be getting another large dog or guardian breed. Well my now 74 lb GSD has been trained and raised the same as previous dogs but he acts almost exactly like the rott in this video and despite him weighing just about half of my previous dogs weight, I'm embarrassed at my lack of control over him once he becomes agitated. I know much of it is genetic and not just lack of training or experience as my previous dogs could go to a vet and wait quietly in a crowded room with strangers and their pets and remain calm and well behaved. So it's unfair to criticize her as we all think we are good enough trainers and responsible owners. Yeah, until you get a puppy who passes puppy behavior tests but develops into a semi nutcase dog, lol. And what are you supposed to do, give up your dog to a shelter or unload your problem dog onto someone else? This woman deserves praise for spending the time and MONEY (which many dog owners don't do) to try and correct the dog and help him to be a good canine citizen. I have spent literally hundreds of extra hours training my GSD vs my last Rottie. As I used to work away from home but was working from home when I got GSD and then became unemployed soon after. I watch these videos for a reason... Because I'm actively trying to learn how to help reform my dog. My dog needs professional training as he has improved in some ways but since turning 2 yrs in March 2021, maturity has also worsened some of the behavior that is driven by protection instinct, etc. I have realized he and I need to work with a trainer but lack of funds prohibits this right now. I'm even on food stamps for the first time. I'm saving up for training but it will take some time. Anyway, just my two cents. I wish ppl wouldn't be so quick to judge others. I bet there are many areas in everyone's lives that they could be judged on by others and if the shoe were on the other foot, you would see how awful it feels. Please be kind to one another.
Wow this has helped me alot to understand my rottweiler as well he does the same when people come around especially males he barks but tail is wagging all the time
I've been researching about big dogs, specially gsd and rotweilers. It's more of a long-time planning since I won't be able to own a dog in the next 3 to 5 years, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about breads, training, breaders, each dog's needs. I wanna be able to offer the dog the best experience, home but also TRAINING. These dogs are not just for fun, they need training and discipline. I've only ever owned cats haha, but I plan on getting a protection dog in the future. I'll definitely attend training sessions with him as a puppy throughout the adulthood. Not only for the dog but also for me! They're not the only ones who need to be educated. As a future first-time dog owner, I need to be educated and prepared. Wish me luck, guys!
Trainers like this are why I can sleep at night. I think too much about all the animals that don’t get the life they deserve because of shit people but just knowing and seeing there are honest good people genuinely helping animals who just need compassion and extra time is relieving
I can't help thinking that these dog training videos give me a great insight into human behaviour. So many things in common with the dog but covered under elaborate language and social norms.
Haz love your work bro really need your help on a pup I have am way in Jamaica tho would love some advice on how to go forward with her shes a 4 month old dutch shepherd that's fearful and a bit reactive
i get the feeling this profession is mostly dog 'owner' training..this lady has the confidence and humility to ask for help with her dog. she's doing good. I wish there was a simiilar profession/service that does the same with parenting too. i want to be a dog trainer too.
