I was waiting for someone to comment this exact thing, because I was thinking it through most of the video myself! So freaking dangerous.

I’ve been run over by other people’s dogs at a dog park and I’m an adult. They should really let the kid just watch from outside instead.

I agree , child in the area totally inappropriate even with the park less populated. All it takes are a few seconds of a dog with sufficient bite force to lockdown on the neck and it’s gg.

People will do anything for views on their channel.

I agree! Also holy cow I had to read a part twice because I thought you said "No child that young should be off leash"💀

Yeah made me smile. Very adorable 🥰

yes... you can 'argue it' because real trainers do not argue ...they follow facts..

@@DougHinVA Well thank god there aren't any real trainers in this video atr all.

@@lordseaworth6055 woohooo Let’s goooooooooooooooo!

No! Crazy so many views on such terrible behavoir. Dog is in an aggressive pack, never allows other dogs to smell him. Starts fights & loses many in other videos. Owner thinks it's good.

Exactly and so many people make the mistake of punishing or correcting the dog for a bark or growl so the dog then stops communicating their discomfort in a situation and goes straight for a bite.

Yup the amount of people who scold me and say “um are you sure your dog isn’t aggressive!?” Bc she’s barking is ridiculous lmao she barks while playing too she’s just vocal asf

if you think taking your dog to a dog park is a good thing you know almost nothing about dogs, you should introduce dogs through a fence or something also some dogs have high other dog aggression and the owners will know this its COMPLETELY irresponsible to let your dog off its lead especially a breed like this without a E collar on and you can cry about me saying that all you want but the reality is owners like this get people or other dogs hurt.

@@Shaz-gq7pv that behaviour should be corrected owners like you shouldn't even have a dog, you are not going to fix aggression if you dont treat the symptoms and you shouldn't let random dogs come up to your dog anyway thats incorrect socialisation and 9/10 leads to a fight and its all fun and games until your dog has its face bitten off due to your incompetence. They should be introduced through a fence off lead so there is no lead tension to create aggression so then they can smell each other then if they dont want to kill each other introduce them without the fence. iv seen to many irresponsible owners like you get there or someone else's dog badly hurt your the type to use a harness

@@LoveV_333 yeah imagine not trusting a owner that cant even stop a simple bad behaviour, i bet your dog also has lead tension and tons of other bad behaviour i wouldn't trust your dog either

Where’s the mom? I doubt she would approve. I don’t think this is the place for a baby.

@@claudiacanales2662 might be a single dad who knows I mean not everyone has a mum in their life and not everyone has a dad

YES, agreed 💯

ur funny bruh😂

Yeah, I was nervous at first, but since the poster said the park wasn't busy, I guess it makes sense. Babies need to learn how to interact with animals, and if you don't have your own pets, you should find other ways. Personally I would keep my child in my arms till I'd gotten the go-ahead from the owner though.

a real dog fight or serious injury (or death) by a dog is NOT fun.

Yeah till a kid gets mauled and the dog is put down.. No fun for anybody

Whatever you do, don’t fall for the misconception that a dog wagging its tail always means it’s friendly. Dogs wag their tails for everything: fear, play, excitement, aggression, submission, etc. It’s important to note what the rest of the body is doing (flinching? Shoulders hunched?) and the speed and scope of the wag.

@@maargenbx1454​​⁠Yes! Biggest mistake people make for all animals. They look at one body part (usually the tail) and nothing else. How high the tail is matters, if it’s curled, how the haunches look, the ears, the general expression on their faces, if they’re standing tall or hunched down lower People make similar mistakes with cats too..they think a moving tail means stressed or warnings, but cats have many wags like dogs do and other important body signals

U didn’t learn shit, this guys completely j talking out his ass

@@Kozycz It wouldn't surprise me if dogs, descended from social pack animals (wolves), have the ability to give and receive inter-species social cues.

@@Kozycz please look up dog behavior, I dont agree with this video but his analytics of the behavior is correct

@@racciacrack7579They can!Dogs are the only (I can’t think of any other animal) that understands what pointing is..which is a human gesture with our hands (which we taught to certain breeds to replicate..german shorthair pointers for example, they point in a direction similar to how we would just with their full body), if you pointed a dog is far more likely to look where you pointed than just stare at you meanwhile other animals will just stare at your hand as they don’t get the concept

Take it with a grain of salt.

@@thomaschristopherwhite9043It actually helps a lot

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha yes he is quoting each move like that bwhahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah

No the father was calm and confident. He had good energy around strange dogs. I think the reward of raising his kid to be calm and confident with dogs is worth the slight risk that something bad might happen. If there were too many dogs with too many owners, especially owners that aren't calm and confident, then it would have been more risky.

@@adeadgirl13no, it’s risky and unsanitary regardless. An excited dog can run right over a toddler without any malicious intent. Most dog parks will have signs about ages 10 and under anyway so bringing a kid that small to an off leash dog park is WILDLY irresponsible

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha yes he is quoting all moves like if everything has something to do with submission and domination bwahahahahahahahahahahaahha

Noticed that, as well. 👍😎

Yes, more humans need to roll onto their back and show their bellies to their superiors. I agree!

Lol…while the image is hilarious. Probably still better than popping anti-depressants, indulging in gambling, inoculating one self with alcohol and drugs, inventing pedestrian concepts like God and religion, engaging in therapy that doesn’t yield any results, going on unhinged spending, or straight shooting up a school.

Except for the thousands and thousands of times dogs have hurt kids.

@@loosilu Are you like anti-dog or something?

@@lobosalt6868 No, I'm sane. You don't let small children around unfamiliar dogs.

@@loosilu That I agree with. Your statement read as anti-dog though. Where is your data that thousands of kids get mauled by dogs every year?

@@loosiluI mean, yea, no one should approach an unfamiliar dog 😂 Not unless owners have given the go ahead. I always let little kids pet my dog, she’s sweet with kids, if they ask their parents first (to help encourage the behavior of asking before going for something)

Agreed having well socialized dogs can be good meaning the dogs are more used to smells, sounds, and just meeting new people in general.

The language is being over-interpreted imo. Most dogs are not just one thing, ie dominant or submissive, especially with dogs with whom they are friendly and familiar. particular behaviors are, of course. but it doesn't mean it will continue as such, the next day, or even the next 15 minutes. I have a pit, who reacts different ways to different dogs and different ways to the same dog that she has a very familiar relationship. Dogs intuit that other dogs will NOT play iterative games with them if they insist on always dominating. her best friend is a French bulldog and she dominates her, but she often allows herself to be submissive...so that she keeps her friend. A dog always forced to submit will go on to the next dog. But I think fundamentally, their language is situational. and most well adjusted dogs figure it out very quickly. and thats why we love them.

Akita’s are great got mine when I was 13 he was 6 months old. Had him until 2017 the best dog I ever had and got along great with kids and other dogs .. never had a problem.. kids used him as a pillow lol

@@amberdunn8788 I’m glad you had the chance to share some of your life with such a beautiful animal, I feel very privileged to have known all the dogs in my life. Currently have a couple of daft spaniels snuggling up next to me.

My heart was racing when I saw the Akita go near the child

I hope the father of that baby girl asked permission before approaching him with her. I’m not sure I would do what that dad is doing….just letting a tiny child be around that many dogs he doesn’t know

That dad is tempting fate... what are the chances that his baby can defend herself against a dog attack? NONE... ZERO.

Tongue licking in that way is a sign of stress in any dog

A sign of a truly well trained dog - biting a significantly smaller human at the smallest of inconveniences. "That toddler is lucky" Apparently that Akita is too, then. Dogs that kill kids get put down.

Malligator 😂 good one hahaha.

he’s not the best person to learn it from. while some of his stuff is correct, others are wrong and biased towards his own dogs (who he always thinks are in the right even when they’re not) watching an actual professional dog trainer with certifications in canine behavior is the best way to learn

yeah, the place is filled with dogs of different temperaments, some may be fine with toddlers and others may hate them. You never know, and you probably don't want to find out by risking a toddler's life

also, I'm sorry for your loss, he sounds like he used to be great dog ❤

They arent peiple the are animals dont forget that

@@ricardomeertens9165 we're animals, don't forget that

@@mischr13 yes but we are the top of the foodchain. and rule the world. these dogs excist because we made them we bred them. they are our entertainment. human are above animals.

For real. I'm seriously wondering what the hell that guy hoped to gain from this. I guess I've just been in the OR as a nurse watching kids' faces get put back together too many times to think this was in any way a smart thing to do. I'm just baffled. (and for the record, I absolutely love dogs. I'm just realistic about kids and dogs together)

And then the dog has to get put down for moronic parent behavior.

@@roseblossom166 Right!

@@roseblossom166 Exactly!!

Definition of Dumb parent....

I think everyone just cares for the safety of children..

Go search on here and Google about kids being attacked by dogs.. Kids have this tendcy to make hi pitched nose and can set a dog off.. And you clearly do not understand how pack mentalty in dogs work, once triggered it pretty hard to get them stop.. There plenty stories of dogs loosing it and taking it out on kids.. Do not be naive..

Wouldn't that be useful 😂

I'd love to understand body language and more subtle context clues like this for people too lol

Having a strategy game where you have to guess the dog behavior and act accordingly would be a grea way to teach people dog language!

Yeah and it’s also uncomfortable for the dog owners that purposely take their dog to the dog park for them to let out their energy. My dog has never attacked anybody but in the excitement of playtime/chasing has bumped into people on accident on occasion. Put a toddler in that position and it’s like a civilian getting tackled by someone in the NFL.

People so often forget or never think of that fact that they are living things with feelings, emotions, bad days and good ones. We have to learn to hear them as much as we want them to hear us, they just don't use words.

Also completly anecdotal.

@@lordseaworth6055 According to you , human psychology is also anecdotal then, right?

@@raimondsstokmanis1892 This has nothing to do with human psychology or even animal psychology. Just the laughable comments on the video overlayed. This here is just pretty much all made up with some general facts about dogs thrown in so it appears to be deep lmao. Sorry this is just to hilarious.

@@lordseaworth6055 Says you.

You need to take your meds asap.

Sincerely sorry for your loss.

Condolences for your loss. I hope you got to share a lot of great years with your malinois.

People bring toddlers with NO shoes on to dog parks here. I can’t even believe it.

relax susan. As the commentator says hes not at all pushy. If the dogs come to him for pets then wth is the issue xD

Because it takes one misbehaving dog to permanently scar your toddler. @@kaspedkk

@@bar4804 Yeah but you can often tell with dogs whether they are well trained and happy long before you are close to em. If someone came in with their madly barking dog, i dont think the father would be putting his daughter down to pet em. People on the internet are so quick to judge and conclude on situations where they have little context. Theres no way of saying whether this situation was handled well or not, without more context.

@@Msufferable all it takes to get in a car crash is one mistake. Yet people still drive. Theres a risk/benefit relationship in all things. Simply mentioning them doesnt make a great point.

@@Msufferableexactly that was what i was saying. You cannot ignore the risk/benifit factor. With cars the benifit is so overwhelmingly large that the relatively high risk is worth it. with this situation, the risk is far less than driving a car. Dont believe that? look it up. And while the benefit is also way smaller, its still there. A good oppertunity to have fun with you dogs and the dogs of others. The amount of people that die from dogs a year is really low, so i wouldnt say that its fair describe a dog park as dangerous. Same as its not fair to describe something like driving as dangerous. Even though there IS risk in each activity.
