Appreciate the effort you put into it. Truly. People just think because a dog is “smart” in their opinion, that’s where the magic of a working dog comes into play and it all just happens and little to no training or effort is required.
You’ve just turned Maslow’s pyramid into the bite world of working dogs. Like Maslow you have made elegant dog training Perfect mate 💪 the guys who teach me are experts and you are one of the few who really know their shit. Well done.
The best explanation of Prey Drive I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, this is my first time training a German Shepard puppy for protection, I can say there is a lot of training the handler needs first to teach the puppy properly.
I love that you disscuss the genetics. Esp with the working Shepherd vs the show lines. People dont offten understand the original intention of a breed. Keep it up neighbor, love from the U.S.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I've often heard about Drives but this explains it to me. I'm a new sport dog owner and in the steep learning curve that goes with that. Your channel is excellent.
I equate you to a trainer for a professional fighter. Psychology, physical work, confidence building and much more need to go into training these dogs. Impressive!
Awesome stuff ..... I can never thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and taking time to make these videos .... Love from NEPAL man ... Thankkssss ... :)
Are you being a jackoff? Explain what do you mean by Micheal Ellis it sounds like your saying that it is a copy of Micheal Ellis work. If that is what your trying to say that would laughable! Ellis if he had 24/7 seven days a week for the rest of his life to study he could not have a understanding of the mind of the dog and how it works like haus does it is a gift he has! Anyone like you going around making statements like that could get hurt. Please be careful what you say on facebook!
You are flipping amazing thank you for doing these videos. I have two dachshund that don't listen to anything and nothing changes that not food. Oh, I take that back for one and for the other, but they're together. I can't do anything with these dang dogs, but you showed me how to snap that leash and I've already got one backing up at the door and sitting down and a minute you're amazing thank you And just follows. WOW❤❤❤ YOU!
I love your graphs man! 😂. Joking aside… I love the piramid and your thorough explanation. Now it makes a lot more sense to me! I have 2 mals : one female with a high pray drive but not loud, just laser focused, good bite and very possesive. The other is a male , very strong pull, good bite but no much posession. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼
Thank you for this, I am failing at the "Arousal" part, I use the back tie, back my dog she doesn't show much when on it. She whimpers more than actually bark and trying to come forward. It's only been a week on the back tie, but that's where i'm currently at when it comes to that.
I’d loved to see a video on how you build up the nerves of a dog. My mal can get pretty skittish (he doesn’t shut down completely, just looses some commitment and focus) with some things and I wanna try and bring his confidence and nerves up so I don’t put him in a state of panic. It doesn’t take much to calm him down but I’d rather not have him get in that state of mind in the first place
what tools you use to solve each of these problems?. It would be interesting a video about the defense drive. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos and share your knowledge
I know you did some selection video(s) for puppies, but what is the process like from when you first get a dog/puppy til you start training to use prey drive? Do you start with basic commands? And is it a good idea for a person to train their own dogs for personal protection work, given that the training is done properly? Thanks for the content! It really does make me realize that this subject is not so simple as it appears. As a suggestion for more content (other than the questions above), I noticed you say that some dogs go right into the "prey triangle" and some take more stimulus. Can you expound on what the dog looks like in say an everyday setting, versus a working state, and when/how a dog switches between those two states? Or does it just become a tool/command like the typical "sit" or "down" commands?
You Say it so well Some dogs have the ability to finish some don't And if you play with these you would notice on 100% some have more of the animal drive than others Some people are survivors some people are not same thing
Hey Haz, loved your little charts and explanations 👍 The examples of dogs A,B & C you are training were good, too. And you're right, not a lot out there that explains it very well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Now, i just need a good source of info about why some dogs are never going to be " okay with cats". I'm guessing it all has to do with how well they are socialized as puppies? Thanks in advance. ( I left comment here on 6/6 asking about it)
I'm glad others think like I do with animals! I have people all the time. Hey I want to pay you to train my dog. Then they get upset when you tell them they're dog will not do well in protection training. They get upset. Like you said there's usually a crack in the dog.
I have a rescue German shepherd and she is a bit uncomfortable to load noises how do I work on that with her so I could build her confidence and hopefully train to bark on command
Are fight drive found In pit bulls and prey drive different side of the same coin? Can you have fight drive without prey drive? It seems like you can have prey drive without fight drive but it's not common to have fight drive without prey drive.
I'm curious to know what happens when perhaps you run into those clients who have dogs who have better than average prey drive but the owners have no intent to work on bite work or protection? In those situations it seems like you would want to deter the dog from its natural tendencies.
Their prey drive will adapt into whatever you want them to focus on, not necessarily “bite work or protection”...or one specific task associated with such. Their prey drive will convert into ability to want and work for a reward, think simply in psychology. If their prey drive isn’t diverted into rewards then higher prey drive will turn into neurotic behavior and problems.
My dog has an extremely high prey drive for these field bunnies outside of our home and she bucks up starts barking and lounges at these damn things. I’m not sure if she would catch one tho because those things are fast as fuck and don’t want to test the theory because there is a street near by.
Do you have any suggestions on getting a k9 to chill out when another male dog is walking by? Not sure if this helped or not but when he was a puppy he had a male dog try to attack him in his yard, and some kids used to mess with him and get him going while in his yard, i dont mind him barking but every once in a while he just goes a lil overboard man, other than that he is a very obedient dog just seems a lil territorial obviously but id like to find a way to calm him down a bit in those situations, thanks
Searching for answers to a dog with high prey drive and CATS. Fostering a dog that needs to be "Ok with cats " from just wants to kill cats. Anyone? Is that why it's always included that a dog is always classified that way? Either "OKAY with cats " or "NOT okay with cats ". I'm thinking once the dog is grown, especially without any training or self control, that it's too late to "train" the prey drive out of them. I'm thinking that's why the dog is classified as " not ok with cats". Thoughts, anyone? My thought is that it's just best to not let this type of dog be around cats. At least, not MY cats. The risk of the cat being injured or killed is just too high. I'm believing the dog needs professional dog training, and to always be classified as " NOT ok with cats". Thoughts, anyone? Thanks. Looking for answers for me and the foster family. I honestly could not answer their questions. ( This is all I know about it,, if someone could recommend a book or video to refer them to,, the subject seems to be all over the place on this topic....?)
really nice man, can you do more stuff with APBT? I see you using a loto of GS. I have a pitbull and I'm training him for protection work. thanks for all the great advice!
I’m an engineer so this makes sense for sure. One thing! Have you tried any RADAR CHART? it may help you trying to display the same data you presented us. Happy new year Mr. Shield 👍🏻
Superlative exposition of the drive! If I didn’t know better, I’d say y’all hired Dateline NBC’s crime and pedophile busting Chris Hansen to narrative this clip! Lol
Just curious... how come pit bulls aren’t used for these jobs? These dogs are extremely powerful, fast and intelligent. I wonder if all the pit bulls in shelters can be trained to have these jobs. My pit bull has most of these qualities and she has never been trained. Just was wondering.
Same reason they stopped using Dobermanns, people are scared of them. If an APBT runs into a room in front of a 7 year old girl that was kidnapped it’d be more traumatizing than a Malinois with it’s high-pitched bark sounding like a dying pigeon. Plus they mix APBTs in the KNPV Malinois pretty often, so it’d just be inconvenient to rebreed APBTs to have significant hunt drive when they already have Mals, Dutchies, and GSDs.
Or they have too much drive and can’t think or shut off, they were bred to not shut off for too long. These dogs completely lose their minds when presented with anything resembling prey!
One night there was 3 people in back of my mother and stepfather place and my German shepherd was bar so i went to see what she was bar at then me and German shepherd went back their together and two of them back to a different car and she didn't back up to me and it was dark out
Holy fucks. You spent 4 minutes repeating yourself, with information that is incredibly irreverent. We already clicked on the video with such title. You don’t have to defend yourself for 1/8th of the video. Just freaking get to it. Ps, great information here.
