Always was the case.

True

😂 how can we make that a law

Absolutely. And the core can be quite simple and quick.

Yes.

Exactly what I thought 👍🏽

So true OMG I love this kid!!!!

But grandma so useless 🙄 Why having a dog ,if you don't know shit.

Lucky he wasn't brought up in the hood, imagine how he would turn out to be....

@@Pfirtzer I think he'd be the same if he had the same parents... looks like mostly raised by mom.

I think half of them are not fit to own a dog!!

The problem is not the dog but the owner who must be corrected . Thanks Cesar for your excellent work.

I have to laugh. Look at his grey hair! Now I’m quite sure he is younger than I, but yeah he’s a good man. His sons work for him so they learn a trade and can support themselves. Cesar looks at a dog’s world and their point of view, and figuring out what needs to be done. PS, it’s always the owner’s fault! LoL. My dog barks too much if someone gets off the elevator, a package delivery etc. So I talk to her in full sentences, she seems to understand. “Nope, I told you, you get ONE BARK and after that, I will nag on you as only a woman can!” She gets too carried away but not nearly so much as she once did. My son brought his worst barking dog to me for three weeks. First day she went half on, half off the puppy pad. We walked past the pad, I stopped and said, in a chilling voice, “I think you can do better than that.” I raised that one from a pup then he took over, so she knew me well (she watched TV with me, loves FaceTime with her). Not one more “half on, half off” episodes. She learned not to bark, in a short period of time. But she’s back home and barks the most, again. It’s pack mentality. If I come to visit, I call when I get in the driveway so he can let them out to the back yard, so the barking won’t wake the sleeping baby. Not sure how to cure that problem but it’s their problem, not mine.

@@lsabelcochofel6318 Yes, I agree. The owner is the one that has to be taught but it usually starts by showing the dog the correct way & then getting the owner to follow the rules next

My friends dog acts exactly like this, After seeing this video maybe we could do something about it.

I have a question, I have a male corgi who only barks at female dogs....why? I can't figure this one out since he's been neutered before 6 months of age.

More dog/human psychology videos, please!

That's how the majority of people in the "third world" get sucked into situations where their politicians tell the what to do and not do - instead of the people telling the politicians what to do and not do. They (the people) think they will be safer with "strong leaders".

dont think that is what is happening

@@lawofattractionc61 what do u think she’s doing then?

I do too, ncode03! 👍 She appears 2 b an emotional & sensitive person & her loss is a sensitive area 4 her.

Dogs need 2 b approached differently, I hope this will help her, her dog & daughter & grandson. 😎

The lady is an emotional wreck and she’s causing the dog to want to constantly protect her. The dog needs a leader and someone who can discipline.

Slightly disagree--we love our dogs best when we treat them as dogs because that is what makes them the most comfortable and wonderful to be around. We are loving ourselves when we treat them like people.

I think Caesar had it right, the dog was just scared and the owner was rewarding his behavior.

@@TheOneanjel true, she was petting him while he was being fear aggressive

It's almost like the dog feels the need to be the pack leader but only because it has to and in a normal pack would be the least likely candidate to be leader due to its personality. It might be while its fearful, because being a pack leader is the last thing it wants to do, even more so than other individual dogs. Basically feeling forced to do something it doesn't want to do at all where other dogs may just make it work.

@@mikewilton4872 Yes, great point. As Cesar says, most dogs were not born to be alphas, so they're uncomfortable in that position. The poor dog in the video is so stressed by his role as the pack leader, a role he's clearly not born to occupy. Thanks for commenting :)

Hi I sew this comment of yours under this nice post that caught my attention. we are not friends on KZfaq here but if you don't mind, let's be friends here.. 🙏🙏

You’re right, not gonna lie, him recognizing the dog backing down as a sign of fear was very smart for a 9 year old.

No. It's more that most people are not smart

The kid is smart but the mother is too soft. The kid's reaction is not normal. Someone needs to toughen that kid up! I realize being a "man" is very unpopular, but he's growing up to be a scared mama's boy.

He is the only one who understands the situation. Lovely boy!

Truths. Most humans don’t realize dogs think differently and need people to think differently

Exactly humans love their dogs more than they love other humans lol

Absolutely, dogs need to be treated like dogs. Treating them like 'a human child' is disrespectful to the dog.

That is a major problem in the human/animal world these days. Humans need to stop treating animals like people or using animals to fullfill a human role. They don't understand being treated as a human and usually it actually sucks for the animal.

I disagree to an extent. Treat a dog as it is...theres enough of hours in the day to treat our animals as our baby!

agreed. even laws protect dogs more than people. it's stupid

She did express enormous sympathy for her grandson, but at that point, they were talking about the dog.

@Sunrise Boy I hope you don't have any dogs.

@Sunrise Boy People who have dogs and love them, treat them with respect, because that is what they deserve. You obviously have an issue with treating anything with respect. If you don't like dogs, why are you watching these videos ?

@jefferey johnson That's animal abuse!

@@VeganRiotgrrrl It’s necessary. When a wild wolf disrespects the alpha or challenges him, what happens? He gets bit, sometimes there’s blood, the alpha can’t discourage that behaviour by just barking. And getting bit is a lot worse than getting a slap. If you don’t assert dominance over the pack one of your dogs will, that’s when they start disobeying and that’s when shit hits the fan.

@jefferey johnson Agreed, I grew up in a hunting family and we used dogs to collect shot birds and the like. You need complete control over dogs in those situations lest it gets shot by accident.

@@KrolKaz the dog has to be taught how to act around children. That child had every right to be fearful, so don't put the blame on him. It's up to the grandparent to make sure her dog behaves because her grandchild is more important. 🤡😒

Wow intelligent Cesar hi there are things going with you over there 🐶

Your dog thinks he's on pack leader duty. When he barks at other dogs and people, that's him going into protection mode. You need to switch the dynamic and become the pack leader yourself. This will allow him to relax and keep him in a calm state. There's a really good post on this if you Google: 'Blogger 123 Recall' - Hope this helps.

@@alextimson9745 thank you for your reply and reference. I need all the help I can get!

There's a video! Scroll through his channel and you'll find it.

I would too.

Firstly, well done and keep doing what you're doing. Secondly, there are many reasons why a dog barks, but 9 times out of 10 it's because they're territorial / protective (or just scared) - This is why leadership is so essential. When you establish leadership, she will no longer feel the need to be protective or scared. Why? Because she 100% trusts you to take control of any given situation. It's like you're taking that job off her if that makes sense. G,oogIe the phrase - RecaII 123 BIog

As long as you're applying the correct principles, it's just a matter of consistency.

Maybe she doesn’t want to be left alone

Rubbish

My one year old Shichon and 5 year old Shichon barks a lot too and drives me crazy. I just yell. I put penny’s in an empty water bottle and shake it. They hate that noise. They bark at each other playing, and the older barks at us to give him food at dinner. I ignore the behavior, I do not respond to it depending on my mood. They do not bark at other dogs or people walking by outdoors. I am grateful for that.

How not to train a dog?

@@fergie-kx3us Is that why he gets results? Because he knows how not to train dogs? No...

@@perssontm1628 It depends on what you consider a "result". You can intimidate a dog into submission, sure... or you can train a dog with kindness to adopt a certain behaviour because it knows good things will come its way until the behaviour becomes second nature, rather than adopting a behaviour because it's afraid of the consequences. Which way a person chooses says a lot about them not just as a dog trainer, but as a human being.

@@fergie-kx3us You think that’s what hes doing??? Have you ever seen him hurt a dog? Have you ever seen dogs scared around him? Because that’s not at all what hes doing and it’s laughable that you see it that way. Hes confident, calm and loving in all his encounters with dogs, and the dogs are always calm around him, it’s really wierd how that is scaring them. All hes doing is correcting bad behavour. Dogs NEED an alpha, they need someone to be in charge. Just because you give them that doesn’t mean you scare them into submission… If what you see in his videos is scaring dogs into submission, then by your logic, you can’t ever change a behavour of a dog without abusing it..

@@perssontm1628 There are many videos in which he physically harms dogs. In this particular video the harm is mainly psychological. He acknowledges that the dog's behaviour is due to fear. Instead of creating conditions in which the dog understands there is nothing to fear he admonishes the dog for expressing it's fear by prodding, poking, shhting and depriving him of access to a space where he feels safe by yanking him off the sofa when the boy enters, without the dog actually having done anything wrong at that point. He instructs the dog's owner to withdraw affection and reassurance. Instead of helping the dog to understand that when the boy enters the room good things happen, he signals to the fearful dog that he's right to fear the boy's presence as the boy's very presence means that bad things will happen to the dog. It's psychologically damaging and doomed to fail. Your understanding of dogs and alphas is flawed. Dogs in the wild actually live cooperatively. I'd be interested to know where you got that information from. Milan, right?

This is me all day!

Yes I’m guilty of this too. Im lonely and treated my dogs like I wanted to be treated but I recognise this isn’t fair on them. I’m getting some professional help and I’m learning to stop doing it.

Im the same😭. I have a 6 lb yorkie and she is the baby. I also know yet still do it. She is this way with my 6 yr old grandson. We got her 6 yrs before he came into this world. I had no idea the monster i was creating babying her that way! Im def trying this esp the nudge in the certain spot! I had no idea about that.

I'll say it since no one else has, y'all are terrible owners. Probably great people but not good owners, and to repeat the behavior after knowing your mistakes is crazy.

@@J_Willis58 did you end up getting any help? I did. They teach ME, instead of my doggo, a "Teach a man to fish" type deal, thankfully. It's working out exactly as I was told it would👍 By the way, I have a tiny, 7 lb Miniature Yorkie, just like Denise's doggo ;) ...Anyways, I've taught her almost every trick I've taught all my dogs in the past, but I never thought the "Leave it" trick would be the key to proper communication between us & our dogs.. ..If you need help yourself, my trainer says that "Leave it" command is what matters most to start. It'll turn into something I can use to snap her out of her barking fits, by communicating to her that I've noticed what she's showing me, & that I've decided it's not a threat. It's a long ways away, but it's helpful to know there's a clear path to the goal.. That goal: To get her to STOP THE SCREAM-BARKING!🙉

Keep the dog out of the house... simple

@@sachinisg Ha, you don’t need to go that far. Just take charge and demand manners from your dog. It’s not a newborn human baby.

@@paddlefar9175 I have seen people building a seperate house for the dog, even we have done the same.along with a small playground for the dogs in front of the house 👍

@@sachinisg it’s not that simple if you don’t also solve the dogs issues and correct them. That won’t stop them from barking at every little thing, it only stops them from doing so in the house if they’re not in the house to bark. At the end of the day, a dog is still a dog, but I have a hard time trying to picture this woman just ditching her dog for a outside dog house especially since she feels so close to him. That dog, even though he’s not properly trained is probably treated a lot better than most people who get a dog and ditch them as they get older for the back yard on a chain. Her emotional attachment to him shows she’s not that kind of pet owner. She definitely needs to work more with the dog to get him to behave better. Doing so is just hard, I’m sure, in her type of situation where she’s to attached to him to fill that emotional void from losing her husband. She seems like a very sweet and lovely woman, however, it takes more than just feeding, grooming and caring for a dog to have them be ‘good’. Most people don’t understand how complex ’pets’ are and how each individual animal has their own way of being on how to care for them in a way that we can understand how their brains work. It’s a bit more than ‘I want a dog to make me feel better’ type of thing and even then more than likely the dog is there to fulfill the humans needs over the animals and I mean no disrespect when I say this, but most people don’t realize that this is a bit on the selfish level. Humans, as intelligent as they are, don’t always get it right even as well intentioned as they may be. Back to my original point, while dogs may be animals, but banishing them to the back yard is not the answer and won’t solve this issue even if you have a really cool set up. So, no, it’s not as “simple” as you may think. Also, what’s the point of having a dog if you just keep them outside all the time especially if you’re going to be ‘lazy’ and not train them? To do so is very irresponsible as a pet ‘owner’ and doesn’t make up for not doing right by your dog thinking you are able to ‘simply’ get off the hook in the much needed training department.

@@Lacroix999 I appreciate your insights and I thank you for taking your time 👍.

Exactly this is what I was thinking, it is either you reinforce your dogs bad behavior and say Goodbye to your grandson or you just fix the problem and have both together without your dog being scared or your grand child being terrified. It is funny how things are prioritized .

Bro, the grandson has his mother to cuddle him and the dog is cuddled by grandma. They are all somewhat sweet but complete pushovers 😅

wym she didn't care? at one point she was crying saying he doesn't come in her house. i can sympathize with her, honestly it's hard to pay attention to anything except calming your dog when they're going crazy like that. kiddo has his mom to stay with him in that situation at least

​@@DogOnAKeyboard wrote: "how to be in the moment." I totally agree. I think most people hear "energy" and "in the moment" & think "yeah, yeah, naval-gazing blah blah." "I'm in the moment {selfie!}" I wish Cesar would do a show about "mindfulness." How to recognize our "self-talk" (the inner narrative, "the story we tell ourselves") and experience a moment of silence (the moment without our story). Most people don't realize how "not there" they are. If you're looking for inspiration: the first thing that helped me to see this was a couple "guided mindfulness" videos ("Guided Mindfulness on the Present Moment. Be here now." & "Guided Meditation for Beginners - A New Perspective on Mindfulness." Both are channel: MindfulPeace.). And then, after I had personal experience with that, Eckhart Tolle made a lot of sense to me. But, if I'd seen him first, I wouldn't have understood anything. It would have sounded like naval-gazing "whatever." It was the guided mindfulness that caused me to see it. I think Cesar's talk about being in the moment is entirely about that.

Interesting, their basic principles could work for many situations in life.

@@oliviahafner561 they weren’t “unlucky”. The vast majority of dogs are NOT trained at all and their owners reward their terrible behavior or even teach them bad behavior like “play” biting.

Same with me

😄😄😄

Do they know the word no? A lot of these small breeds have no boundaries. They’re in “your” bed, couch, lap etc. They see themselves as equal in the pack. You have to set boundaries. It’s normal for them to bark when they hear car doors slam or commotion outside. It’s the non stop barking that’s the problem. Start by saying no in a firm, loud voice so they know you mean it, maybe block off the triggered area. But start with the main one who starts barking and work your way down. Like ENOUGH MILO !! ENOUGH LULU !! ENOUGH FOXY !! Show your displeased for 15 mins.

@D M Not true. And I never said to use the word no, I like to use OUT. But no is fine. You’re saying any attention is good attention to a dog, we all know that’s not true. A dog has to be taught commands. Just like sit.

@D M A shepherd barking at the fence is doing his job.

hey I'm a Pommie and I dont bark at nuthin.... where are you cobber ?

Im pretty sure ceaser would say its not the breed ever. Its always the ppl who raise them.

he always says what the breed is doesn't matter, its the human misunderstanding of the breed and misinterpretation. you know a Chihuahua would never be a quard dog. its examples like this

I'm not a dog expert, but it seems to me Ceaser is saying that both Grandma and her dog were fearful when a visitor came to her house, though for different reasons. They were both sensing thst fear in the other and effectively reinforcing that fear in each other. Sensing fear, grandma treated the dog like she would a child by trying to give comfort to the dog, which in reality was reinforcing the fear rather than calming the fear. Until grandma could feel calm, the dog couldn't feed off her calm energy. Grandma didn't understand she was reinforcing bad behavior by her response to the dog's bad behavior. As Ceasar said, it is more about training the human. Grandma was reacting to the dog's fear, not its bad behavior. Until she could react first to the dog's bad behavior she couldn't help the dog with its fears. The dog needs to feed on the owner's calm energy rather than the owner's fearful energy. By not showing the dog that she, grandma, was mastering the situation, the dog took the lead and acted aggressively which is how a dog will try and master the situation, which in turn unfortunately in this situation heightened grandma's fears and everything then spiralled down from there. Putting a leash on the dog was the start of telling the dog it was not the pack leader. Reminding the dog through a touch, or verbal command that you, grandma here, are the leader reinforced follower behavior in the dog, which was in effect telling the dog to be calm which would work only as far as the new pack leader, grandma, was asserting calmness. The lesson of the leash was lost as soon as grandma showed the dog she was not the master of the situation, ie the pack leader, and the fearful dog tried to take back control through aggressive behavior despite the leash. A fascinating lesson by Ceaser. While teaching grandma and the dog new behaviors is the start of the solution for the grandson, teaching the grandson new responses was, unfortunately not revealed in this all but too short of a video. After all, I would love to know how does one teach a ten-year-old not to feel afraid around an aggressive dog? How does one teach a ten-year-old to be a calm assertive pack leader? It would seem to be unnatural for this ten-year-old who, though perceptive, is not confident by nature.
