There’s a huge difference between an aggressive dog and a coward of a dog, he was flinching away and simply warning the dogs not to touch him because he’s scared.

Haven't watched dog training vids in a while. I had forgotten how many total expert dog trainers will take time away from training their champion dogs to critique another trainer. They never seem to have enough time to post their own videos but hey, there's only so much they can do.

4.42 that small dog is more agressive then the GSD🤣🤣

This happens with my dog too! It's not being aggressive, but just really excited, but you can't let him get too excited around people.

The greatest tool in training a dog, Is by simply training the owner. If you are an insecure individual and lack self confidence in yourself in your every day to day life (I don’t mean with your pet, I mean if you have any strong insecurities and low self confidence in yourself In general) then a German Shepherd or any other large working class dog is not the breed for you. Until you deal with your own insecurities first, Do not try and own a German Shepherd just because you really want one. This is an animal who takes A LOT of work and it needs to be consistent from the day you get s/him, To the day they pass away. I speak from personal experience. When I was a boy, I got a German Shepherd as a Xmas present. We had a couple family pets before the German Shepherd, But these pets possessed an entirely different temperament and I was NOT ready for such a change. I failed in more ways than one in properly training him. My biggest one if which was not socializing him enough with other dogs and animals in general. I grew up in a very small town, So we didn’t have the leisure of going to a local dog park, But still, I should have applied myself more. My Shepherd became EXTREMELY dog aggressive, And being in my early teens having such a large, Aggressive dog, He was very hard to handle. I am now in my early 20’s, And Brutus (My king German Shepherd) is approaching 10 years old. I tackled many of my insecurities and it allowed me to possess more confidence. Confidence that I assert when I am with him and I have since trained him myself. I educated myself, Studied endless books about the psychology of dogs and the psychology of the Shepherd breed. I took some training courses and learned how to be strict, But still apply positive reinforcement. He was the alpha for many years and I have since taken that title from him, And he is a lot happier now that I lead, And he follows. My point to this whole thing is, If you pon’t posses discipline to educate yourself on how to handle breeds like this, Then DO NOT try and own one. All problems start with the owners.

Boy! You don't know how much relaxed I felt after watching this. My GS is going to be 3 ths April but is too aggressive whether watching kids running from balcony or other dogs on walks. I hd tried to arrange trainers but no1 turned up as they fear he's not a kid now to learn quietly, I myself hv to handle but is impossible to take him alone, atleast two person needed to take him for a walk

This dog is not aggressive just playful and protective!

Nice 👍 German shepherds

My German Shepherd does the same thing, and I don’t use a shock collar. I just tug on the leash (using treats to reward good behavior) to correct him. When my pup gets worked up I’ll see him focus on everything around him when his attention should be on me. But training is a long process that takes time and patience. Using a shock collar could be a good tool but in this video I think the dog should’ve been introduced to one or two dogs at first before being taken to what looks like a dog park thats crowded and dogs left off leash.

My daughters GS does this but usually someone else’s dog barks at her first! Then when Bella barks back (she has a scary deep bark as she is a big dog 90 lbs). Because she barks back the people act like she is aggressive but their dog starts it. The weird thing is she doesn’t do this at doggy daycare. Gets along great. Only when on the leash walking in the neighborhood.

poor dog... you treat him the wrong way!

NOT agressive at all, learn to recognize a agressive dog please! One on mine was ! He's just exciting, protective and also friendly as well!

what type of collar are you using here?

I have samr kind of german shepherd named Jimmy he is 2 years old now but whenever he see other dog coming toward him even play he start same thing that this gsd did help me i want him to play with others and enjoy i cant even unleash him because of his aggression

Im always relax on walks and positive energy but my german shepherd is over protective , and he also charges at dogs but when you leave him come close and take a smell than he calms down and want to play

All you are doing is teaching the dog to fear doing anything at all. You can see half way through the video that the dog doesn't know what to do or why it is feeling pain from the collar chain. The dog is crying. This is not training; I think it's cruel. There is no way that a dog can be "fixed" in one hour, doesn't matter what the scenario. I don't believe for a minute what the final text screen says. I suspect this "training" will not last or something adverse will come from it. This lovely dog could have been taught something instead of being confused and restrained. I do not see contentment in this dog.

This is equivalent to having a human on a chain walking through a cage of Wild rabid tigers. Imagine that! The exact same pain the poor shep is feeling. This broke my heart and pissed me off.

That is a beautiful GSD. You might want to show her(him?).

ShepHERD!!!

I think the dogs wants to mingle with other dogs and seems he doesn't get to go out much. He is not aggressive at all just excited and eager.

LOL, you should try that with my dog.

This dog looks happy and excited not aggressive.

"see how I lightly pull the leash..." (just be sure it chokes the shit out him so he can't breathe)

We live out in the country & my female German Shepherd doesn’t allow any dog to get close because there’s so many stray or loose aggressive dogs around here that she developed this attitude towards any dog that comes around. Which I honor her for because she stopped a dog from attacking me just getting my mail on my own property. When I take her in public and she sees another dog she barks it’s in her nature she’s protective because what she’s around all the time. That’s why I don’t blame her for being that way. But I had to teach her when to stop. I don’t see that being such a bad thing for a dog to be cautious around other dogs. Now if they are loose and attacking yours that’s another story.

Is that a prong collar?

how old are him ? answer me please

The dog should have been socialised at a early age to prevent this behaviour.

When girls comes to talk me ,my behavior

in positive reinforcement, one would use the bat method. basically you start at a point where the dog can see stimulus but is far enough to listen to you, and reward calm behavior or eye contact. it takes longer but it lasts forever and, with little to no stress. this is positive punishment where you add an aversive item to stop a behavior....

Some of these comments, you have to do what you need to do with a GS, they are smart and a lethal weapon and they are crazy. They will test you every step. For the safety of the dog vibration training only takes once or twice. Better than having your dog put down or sued if it bites someone, or worse.

The note says 'all the training went out the door...' . Dogs do not generalize a behavior learned very well. A dog that learns 'sit' in the back yard may fail to sit in the front yard, for example. From my following top rehabbers (Muto, Gellman, O'Shea, etc.) it looks to me like the dog is being put under too much stress too early. He needs more successes at a distance and only then bring other animals closer but not right up in his face. More successes makes for setting a pattern of further success get stronger. The owners are not skilled amateurs at dog handling. They need a real handler to show them what to do and not do. There is no mention (and no occurence) of another dog running right up to the GSD and attacking. But dogs loose in a park,etc. can do just that.... and then there is a real fight under way. This is why pepper spray is needed at all time when outside. You cannot ward off an attacking dog (or person) any other way, practically and legally.

He was excited notice him whimpering means hes sad he cant play with other dogs

How old is he

This isn't training. Training is teaching the dog to think differently. You were using a collar that hurts the dog to correct them instead of teaching them how to think differently you just give him no choice but to listen or he will be in pain instead of him wanting to listen to you. This isn't dog training.

The dog flinches every time you put your hand near its face! Has it been hit??

Sir same thing my gsd dog do he start fighting with other dog please tell me solution of it

The problem is you guys the owners. You reacted before he did when you saw the dog & then he reacted. You initiated the behavior at the beginning. He feels uncomfortable being leashed while other dogs are loose. Notice he reacted normal to the one other dog that’s leashed. Also notice the other small dog that’s leashed reacting just like yours while he’s leashed. Doesn’t feel comfortable. The gsd is just very excited & wants to socialize while you keep pulling him around. This is torture for a dog that has no training. I did not see any aggression at all just excitement.

Dog was protecting against an unleashed dog it thought was running up to for an attack

WHEN will people LEARN HOW TO SPELL GSD??

All those dogs should have a leash. Big difference in behaviour when there running free vs. Right next to the owner. They're protectors by nature. Plus he's probably pissed because he's the only one leashed while all the other are running at his master. Did you forget?, it's a GERMAN SHEPHER. You make make them look terrable.

They are not aggressive they think the dog shows a threat so it protects its owner

I suppose he gets better the more he is exposed to other dogs. He just seemed a bit anxious, just like people with social anxiety?

Yeah this is not right. This is not even training

Héél interessant , heb zelfde probleem gehad met de onze , maar ze is ondertussen verbeterd !

Ohh a nother cesar boy.. i did see you kick the dog no matter how fancy you make it look, by fliking ur leg behind the other.

I have a beautiful gs, but I can't let him around people at all, he is so over protective, he will bite, I don't know what to do.

good luck with my dog! This dog is NOT aggressive at all

Why did she lift the dog up, at 6.21'??? He/she was approached by 2 dogs, from behind! That's why she/he was a little bit anxious. Seems they don't understand a dogs behaviour... The dog isn't supported by the owner, not protected.

E-COLLAR !!!!

I despise leaches, my 7 y o GS was taught to obey wherever we go, with no leash, but it is folded up [if need be] in my hand for the comfort of nervous people.

Don't agree with much of this. Why did she pull when the Dog was behind that German Shepherd. The GS was uncomfortable and simply wanted to be able to see the small dog. Was there and reason to pull his leash there. seriously

If the German Shepherd was completely over the aggressiveness with other dog's than why didn't they let him off the leash? Notice they kept him on the leash and he still was trying to go after other dog's. My Shepherd did the same thing. He hated other dog's. Even puppies, he would react the same way so I just kept him away from other dog's all his life. He hated other dog's so he wasn't really missing anything. I tried and tried but I could not break him from that behavior. I still loved him to death and he had a great life. Spoiled rotten. I had to put him down when he was 12 years old. Broke my heart. But I am going for another German Shepherd.

That is very cruel, the GS working line is a security and fighter dog not some house pet. I own one and should not excessively tamed against its nature using herm sprenger prong collar. Please get a dog with no fighting sprite. This one is awesome beast, and dominant dog .

Not aggression. My well socialised 8 month GSD does the same most of the time. It’s just what they do, they bark all the time. Don’t get one expecting it to be perfect because it won’t be! My boy sounds as if he’s about to savage someone with his huge bark but if I let him up to another dog he would wag his tail and be excitable. You shouldn’t let them up to another dog while they are barking though as it rewards the behaviour.

Finds that other owners can Their hobs are also a bit better keep them With them and not to think every dog ​​is okay with everything!

Wheres the high quality reward for good behavior? There is no incentive for the dog to learn what is good and understand what the desired outcome of the training is. Slack lead as much as possible will allow the dog to relax more too.

This is not an aggressive German shepherd or it is not a working line one, those corrections would do little in a high drive animal

FBC!

bcuse sometime he drink with me

u can also gave bear to ur dog .🤣

my dog needs treenig

This is not aggression. This is over-excited play behavior. I know because my dog does the same thing as well as raising her hackles, and a dog trainer even confirmed that no, she's not being aggressive, she's overexcited. This behavior can start a fight, though, and that's why all interactions with other dogs are heavily supervised, and why I only take her to a dog park when she is tired and there aren't many dogs there. And you taught that dog nothing. At the end it's obvious that dog is still excited and wants to go crazy. The dog even growls at another, and consistently keeps trying to lunge at other dogs. You are not teaching this dog to keep calm, and the excitement is only going to build until you let them off leash in a dog park one day and that over-excitement makes them accidentally kill a small dog. This is not something you can resolve in one training session. This is something that takes weeks to months to teach. All you have done here is taught the owners how to gain control over an over-excited dog. This dog is just going to be another case of over-excitement behavior going from play to fight.

Sorry, but I did not see an aggressive dog what so ever. If he was anything at all, it was excited and playful. And if not trained properly, then yes, the dog will pull the leash to play with the other dogs, and since we are talking about a german shepard here, the dog is most likely stronger then its owner. I know a bit more about it since I am getting a GSD so I am reading into behavior and everything of the dog. But even if I hadn't, I would still see that this dog is not aggressive.

all ways start training dogs from 10 weeks old to sit stay with a bit of cheese each time it do good it will soon lean

That’s not aggression

That's because your chocking the poor dog this is abuse, let your dogs off the lead a play.

How about trying a muzzle instead of that collar then you can give you’re dog a chance because not once did he attack he could be playing for all you know

This dog is pain, this method is from the past, Nigel Reed doesn’t use any of that and the results are much much better, the dog at the end of the video would be playing with the other dogs with no leash. I didn’t see improvement at all.

He is crap at training and shouldn't have a dog at all.. He has no idea what he is doing and he is wrong not to let it near other dogs..

This is what you call a crap owner they don't understand the breed training should start from an early age

Wannabe Cesar Milan's?

This guy does not know what he is doing.

0 percent aggressive .......

As a trainer you should know not to correct the dog you’re working with because of other people’s dogs rushing at its face. That’s really irresponsible and dangerous in this situation

I’m sorry but a prong collar? You’re teaching him that seeing a dog means spikes jabbing into his throat!! Wrong wrong WRONG WAY! Trainers that tell you to use treats for everything also aren’t very effective - they don’t use Shepherds as police dogs for no reason! Criminals would carry steaks on them if that was the case! I use occasional treats, a toy reward, and mutual respect. We’re getting there, but 8 month GSDs all go through the barky stage.

making the dog suffer with pain.... yea proper trainning sir... If was my dog you wouldn't be doing that.

Not like it at all... i admint that effects are in this video but my other nature sees dog that is in very uncomfotable situation :/ nonetheless good job.

Ugh theres an e collar under the bandana, a pop would never cause a dog to yelp like this. Lying about the methods youre using, and youre just punishing instead of enforcing focus on you around you with positive outcomes with the e collar youre just confusing the dog who just wants to play and making her scared of other dogs. E collars are great but if ur gna use them use them properly smfh and dont lie about what youre doing

You have no clue what an aggressive dog looks like. Bad channel.

I wont my GS dog aggressive.
