Yes, I have noticed that there are some that "attack" him but tbh, his work has great results. You can tell that his techniques embody great insight and understanding with not only the type of breeds but the type of personality of the dog as well.

@@bluebus1985 who does it better

@@bluebus1985 I am new to watching this trainer. What is this man’s history?

Utter BS

@@bluebus1985 pfft nothing about his methods are cruel when a dog is this aggressive treats etc are going to do jack shit. So many so called experts that would never have the balls to do what this man does!

A dog like this would end up on the euthanasia list, for sure!

That's very much true, owners simply don't understand that it is behavior that hasn't been addressed,a dog is never too old to change, can't say that about humans.....🙄🤔

@@marthaoliva2377 lol humans can also change but we’re just 100000x more stubborn 🤦‍♂️

Most people don't have access to such a good dog trainer

And then they get a new puppy, same breed, and the cycle continues.

Interesting, your reflection

yes I do feel like dogs are very sensitive (animals in general) so they would pick up on the energy of the one connected to them . it is so wonderful you were both able to grow through your experience together 🥰

No he doesn’t. Ffs

This dog will stay the same U can tell the owner has very little interest in changing how he treats his dog. Like telling him to sit n pushing down to sit. He says he's never going to take off his muzzle. Terrible way for this dog to live. Dog Daddy can show him everything to do to help this dog but i dont think he wlll

Some being aggressive is hoe you when people over. Great! My boss is being aggressive with me let me be aggressive back with them

Omg the calm thing. For real! I hate when my kids or hubby yell at the dog when he's not doing something right. The behavior needs to be corrected. Drives me nuts! Of course I'm the only one that he listens to because I take my time with him

@@chrisbogart7345, all the owners, l of the dogs he had saved, comments are proof to everyone. They outnumber all you PP+ people.

You are an amazing dog trainer. Sending you congratulations and respect❤️

Yes, some people need to understand that dogs and even cats are just as complex mentally as humans are. They have a wide range of emotions too, they get frustrated and stressed too. They are not as far from us in their intelligence as most people assume. We need to treat them according to that. It could help to imagine them as aliens from another world and we're both trying our best to communicate with eachother. It seems that people like Dog Daddy has come the closest to getting through to them with calm but firm discipline and reward only in the right moments. I hope every dog owner will learn to be like them.

@@aAaAAA-ppgg don't agree, dogs are not as complex as humans! If they were, Dog daddy wouldn't automatically know how to figure out their behavior, right?

@@dorcaskerr6384 ok I didn't mean down to the .1 percentage.

Youre 100% correct. MOST of the time its lack of early socialization. Some are genetic, however like that case in TX where that babysitter got her face mauled off. She had met the dogs previously before that day and they were fine. Not sure what set them off, but poor poor girl

I agree...while treats have their role in some training because obviously food is a big motivator, it shouldnt be used as the sole or even the predominant one. The dog really "wanting" to exhibit the desired behavior and therefore getting praise, belly rubs, etc is better. Relying on treats alone gives the dog the impression that the ONLY reason to be "good" is for treats. What do you do in the absence of treats?

@@fishkeepingfreak I agree with and appreciate your coming. At first I thought maybe you just knew mostly about fish.🙂

I agree

@@fishkeepingfreakit’s to teach them that they should love to sit. Or do training.

Treats reinforces behavior. Corrections eliminates behavior. Positive and negative feedbacks. Works on me. 🤣

Agree. Augusto never judges the owners as they don't have skills yet. They love their dogs enough to seek out help

Some folks with these reactive dogs openly or secretly or subconsciously relish the power of a pet that would eat everyone except themselves. Often in these videos they r laughing n joking n shrugging off how pet bit or nipped mailman or family member or friend. My dad dominated all the dogs in our neighborhood n saved many a child from bites. We would be having chill time n then banging on our door or yelling of his name or just plain hysterical screaming. This young man is doing important work, dog bites to children are too common to be so easily preventable

Yes it's a vicious cycle. Root cause: ignorance because of inaccessible vital information regarding dog relationship.

Look up videos of mommy dogs correcting their baby dogs. There's a reason why they simulate such violence, because even for them they might get annoying

“Aggression” in pupps is fine and natural. If they aren’t playing then address it, correct it or redirect it. A 7 week old puppy should be growling, barking biting, we can’t develop and shape a behavior if we aren’t seeing behaviors and all of those “aggressions” are signs of a happy, confident and often purely playful dog. You get several very clear signals when you are dealing with truly aggressive behavior. Heckles raised, posturing, low snarling growl; full teeth exposure and even then these same signs can be misread and can just as easily be an example of insecurity and a lack of socialization and anxiety. It comes down to truly knowing your dog in the end. But I just doubt you are dealing with a fight drive or intent to harm or even malice in a 7 week puppers. However now is the time to socialize them repeatedly and encourage the behavior you want to see with his interactions with dogs, humans and other animals. If you are dealing with actual aggression in such a youngling and typical positive methods don’t work, then don’t be afraid to interrupt the behaviors physically with a quick soft swat, a pinch or anything else that doesn’t harm them but enforces your role in the hierarchy and what you expect of them. If for some reason they respond negatively to that, you double down. Do NOT HURT THEM, simply physically correct them until you get desired results and they know this is not acceptable.

When positive enforcement doesn't work, you have to utilize some negative enforcement to discomfort the puppy (such as let him bite on a lemon)when he's making a wrong decision such as bite, nipping and jumping, but make sure not hurt him.

@@NatureAndBee getting them to bite a lemon doesn't mean anything to them, that doesn't tell them it was wrong to do X or Y. A physical touch for a disciplinary purpose does however.

@@CrypticHowl Maybe you're right. I just took my puppy to get vaccine at vet's place this morning. He behaved like a wolf barking to everyone there ☹️☹️☹️. I knew he was nervous so I tried to pet him to make him feel comfortable but he would just continue barking. He needs training to correct his behaviors.

I Love watching your Training of the dogs but sometimes I get frustrated because I can hardly hear what you are saying ! Especially when its a bit windy !

I’m glad you referred to it as that a battle. You’re not supposed to go through a battle with a dog, or children. You have conversations. Verbally, commands or other ways to do things.

​@@brooklynnmiller2102oh shut up, where's your training videos. This dog would trample you if you don't correct it right away and will kill someone no doubt.

​​@@brooklynnmiller2102Yes and if you listen, Armando uses the word negotiation.

​@@brooklynnmiller2102Dogs battle with eachother to decide who is the boss and in charge to decide certain issues. That is the exessive kind of their conmunication. Didn't you recognize that studying dogs behaviour ?

@@brooklynnmiller2102 yeah because that wouldve worked on this dog you live in a fantasy world, dogs literally nip at their puppy's for correction occasionally

Exactly! This dog was on the way to being destroyed. I hope the owner keeps up the training. Zack George really believes treats are the key. The key is establishing the fact that the person is ALWAYS IN CHARGE. 12 years ago my sister adopted a rescue dog 5 years old from a hoarding situation where it wasn’t log of the jungle. She took him to PetSmart because they were “CERTIFIED” Trainers and after all I wasn’t certified so what could I possibly know? Week after week Moku got worse and worse. I kept asking when is Moku supposed to get better.. at a point she was thinking of putting him down. So I said are you going to let me train him or do you have to kill him. When I started the dog was completely feral and going potty all over the house. He was wearing a muzzle a lot of the time. First I suggested she get a crate appropriate for his size. First thing I did was put him ON HIS BACK (a submissive podsr) every single time he challenged me I wrestled him back into submission I had her feed him in his crate to avoid link to punishment Then I potty trained him in 48 hours. Every 3-4 hours he was let out of the crate to go potty OUTSIDE. Then he had the run of the house for 30 minutes or so and back in the crate After 48 hours he was completely potty trained, and in 6 weeks I had taught him to sit, stay, come, lie down, leave it, no go in his crate on command, stay ( I would leave a treat on the floor and he wouldn’t touch the treat until he. Was given permission to get it. When joni asked how I was able to train Moku when the “CERTIFIED” trainer was a complete failure. He (trainer at PetSmart” was taught stuff that doesn’t work on dominant and aggressive dogs. I had had dogs since the 1960s. And I understand how dogs think. When a puppy gets out of line the alpha dot teaches it a lesson the puppy won’t forget too soon. When he acted up I corrected the behavior. When he was good I rewarded the behavior with good boy, petting, rubbing behind the bears where he can’t scratch; When he accepted me as the alpha dog permanently the battle was essentially won. Moku died of kidney failure at the ripe old age of 16 years and 4 months he even allowed me to give him the weekly injections of .9% saline. Kidney failure the toxins build up in the kidneys. Saline flushes the kidneys and helps remove some of those toxins.

He looks really anxious too. The dogs picks that up.

He doesn't look like he got any of it.

At every suggestion, all ge would say was things that reflected his own old behavior ("Im never taking the muzzle off"/ "He only goes in the back yard " Well, he only goes in the back yard BECAUSE he cant walk him in public...i sure hope the man 'gets' what DD is trying to tell him....the owner seems to want to 'discuss' the bad behavior with the dog........omg....

A good technique to make people more receptive to a huge flow of new information is to have a different type of conversation. Instead of solely sending / explaining a lot, ask structured questions after each new batch of information so they can give you the correct answer. This way, they remember it better, they have a chance to process in between and you are able to check if they fully understand and they're still following along. Some people have trouble remembering information when a lot of other "important stuff" around them is going on at the same time, like here with the dog. Some people might be fine there. For this guy it seems he could have benefited from a more structured, coaching-based dialogue.

These days, I don't know if it's due to media just giving short bursts, or the poison most people took, but, no one can take information any more. I'm self employed. If I have 3 questions, I have to ask one at a time. If u know (what I'm talking about), you know.

Yep. A shotgun mike or a lavalier remote mic (both with dead cats for wind) would go a long way towards upping his game. First rule of great video? Audio.

I was thinking the same thing

@@markmywords8674 I've written that message 20 times in his video's, and other people have done the same. He just don't get it.. 🙄 With good audio all his video's would go VIRAL..

I agree. At least this video doesn't have loud music in the background. 😅

Honestly. His frustrating lack of a personal mic made this 11min video feel interminable. I was referred here by a family member who enjoys his content. I don't see the appeal, but then again I've only visited this one episode.

Cesar Milan has done that for years on TV: train the owners, rehabilitate the dogs. 😄

@@Northanteus but Cezar Milan uses outdated, not proven to work techniques. there's no "alpha mentality" in dogs.

@@Liwaj42 what?

@@Liwaj42 lol people who discredit cesar are hilarious.. weaklings who hate the thought of strength and dominance because they have none.. you think this kid aint asserting dominance and himself as the alpha (the dominant one in the situation)? Clueless

@@Liwaj42 lol im watching more of this.. this kid has learnt everything from cesar.. you’re blind if you cant see that

Why is he still wearing a spike collar? That is probably one factor that creates aggression in dogs: they are hurt every time the leash is pulled or popped. 😢

Yeah a mic would be great.

Yeah . Ditto for the mic.

Absolutely

💯

~agree, need a mic dd...~love ur video...jst can't always hear wht ur explaining.. ~edit....it seems to b only outside...heard u clearly while inside...!~thnx again, ths was a really gd video..!!

Be of good cheer! He'll be much happier after dd let's him know he can trust n feel secure and receive love! Saddest would be to remain as is. Just as children thrive with boundaries and firm but loving discipline.

RIP dmx

You know what’s exhausting when you have to deal with a dog like this for months or even years. Even after months of training. Dayly walking exercises. It’s terrible to fight the genetics it’s almost impossible.

@@Electr0fleur my mom used to say something to the effect of, "A vicious dog is a worthless dog and better to be put down."

And the owners!

I agree with you 100

That’s looking to deeply into the behavior from a “dog whisperer’s” lens and alot of Cesar’s rhetoric always ties back to dominance and focuses way to much on the dynamic between dog and man and neglects the power positive reinforcement has in the same situations. Both are necessary in some ways. You do not need to be physically imposing, strong or able bodied to keep a large aggressive breed under control. I have 4 giant german shepherds and a belgian malinois, all of notorious breeds for aggression and police/military work. I am a combat wounded veteran with one working leg and i’m skin and bones, however my dogs are excellently trained by me (mostly due to my dogs hard work and their desire to please, just great dogs) 2 of them are service dogs that go wherever I require them to and I have even done work for other veterans service animals. My secret isn’t being physically capable of defending myself or restraining my dogs, it is giving them the trust to do the right thing and therefore they sense no anxiety from me that may cause them to misread my behavior and do something foolish. Constant corrections without letting even the small things go and being very generous with my love and treats when I am getting the desired behavior. The lack of constant direction and correction both physically and verbally over a long period of time have developed this behavior to the point it is now a big problem. He also lacks a strong “presence” that demands obedience and once again you don’t need to be The Rock and physically imposing to gain obedience through simply being involved. At the same time I do not know this dog, all I have are 12 minutes of edited footage. So potentially I am completely incorrect, but my experience tells me otherwise.

@@FormerGovernmentHuman this is the absolute best response I've read Holy shit you're insightful I fancy myself a pretty knowledgeable dog owner but if I don't stay up on practice I loose application process I had slacked when it has come to constant correction and I've been getting frustrated with my 8 month old and his defiance and ruff treatment of the 10 week old pup and untill I read what you wrote and then it finally clicked We have not been consistent with Bruno and its sending mixed messages Thank you very much for your insight AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SELFLESS SERVICE TO OUR GREAT NATION 🥰

Me too I really hope he goes back to it bcause there is less and less people for it, I'm sorry about your experience, sounds complex.

Actually that video came out on April 1st......April Fools Day! He sure had us all going for it but I was very relieved when I found out that: 1) he wasn't bitten and 2) his video about taking time off was an April Fool's prank. Go Dog Daddy 🐾🐾

It helps so much putting a loose prong collar on. Then proceed to yank and crank the dog. Zero positive reinforcement. Haha. What a joker.

Yessss, SOOOOOOOO good!!!! Love this sweet angel for misunderstood dogs! ❤❤❤❤

You’re getting it, but it doesn’t appear the owner is at all. He’s more easily distracted than the dog.

I see a man that is only partially listening. I realize its a cold day there but if you ask someone to help you with your dig then you should listen to all he has to say. He knows of what he speaks

@@slwhite1959 You are soo right. That said, kudos to the guy for asking for help to begin with.

Could be protective, or he could be resource guarding the owner.

From my cell..l can hear him clearly...

My dachshund was attacked by my sisters dogue du Bordeaux and a staffie..i had to bite on the mastiffs nose to get her to let go and put my body over my beloved Buddy to protect him.. unfortunately the damage had been done in a short space of time..and I had to have my Buddy put to sleep.. they had been around each other growing up but the Bordeaux just turned and the staffie joined in..although as soon as i shouted to stop the staffie walked away .. Buddy was a very special long haired silver dapple and was only 7 yrs old..being involved like that has made me super vigilant but I'm not afraid of any dog no matter what size..my nephew had an American bulldog who weighed nearly 7 stone..but the only way he'd hurt you is if he sat on you or licked you to death..don't know what set the dog off that day. As she was relatively young the vet thought might have been jealousy..I'm so glad your dogs were ok..🇬🇧💞🇺🇦✝️🙏👍🐾🐾🐶

Heck I would of called the law

@@judytramel5795 the dogs belonged to my sister..

That's because it was a labradoodlr. I want to attack labradoodles too when I see em. I sorry. It was meant to be a joke but not so funny when I look at it.
